In the distance, a peaceful and calm forest could be seen, it had everything nature could offer as all the village people relied much on this forest. In the middle of it is a village whose people are lively, caring, and hard-working, it exuded a feeling of real warmth.
The village was encompassed by big steel walls as well as a large steel gate that looked like it has been forged from some spell.
If one could look closely, two youths would come into view, one with a face like that of an angel, deep blue eyes with an emotionless face, and wearing a pink dress with a sword attached to it she had her hair fluttering in the wind. Ancy was carrying a bickering youth with unique jade-like eyes that were enchanting.
With a glance, one would be mistaken an angel-faced youth to be so harmless and weak, but with close inspection, she was far from it, with a sword in her hand she makes piles of corpses. It was breathtaking, as though she just woke up from a thousand years of slumber and looking for her enemies to vent her rage, this could be seen from the cold aura, the peaceful face but calculating blue eyes, her hair and dress fluttering in the wind because of how fast she was running.
"Ancy put me down am feeling nauseated ", Alexu begged, who after hearing her brother's request stopped." mn", she replied, putting him down, Alex knelt and began throwing up. Ancy watched her brother in wonder. [just how weak is Alex that even after being considerate and running slow still felt uncomfortable? Sigh] She had mixed feelings. If Alex could read Ancy's mind he would vomit blood, " hell no that was way too fast sis" he would say.
After what seemed like an eternity, standing up, Alex was all embarrassed by his actions, clearing his throat, "am sorry sis, it's just that I couldn't bear with how fast you were moving so I was uncomfortable the whole time", silence reigned.
"let's go " Ancy broke the silence, holding Alex by the hand," he'll know I can't keep up with your speed, let's just walk besides I can see the village gates it's only about some minutes before we reach there", right at that moment...
"Watch out! ", with lightning speed Ancy grabbed the frozen Alex tossing him to the side. It was a sword blade that she was barely able to block with her palm of qi; her other hand behind her back, she was pushed three meters from where she was standing. Alex swallowed, if that scary blade met him he would be cut in half; thanks to his sister who handled it only with an Invincible palm. Alex was grateful he had mixed feelings.
"hahaha", a high-pitched laugh was heard from a tree and on it was a youth clothed in a purple robe, his face hidden by a mask. Judging from his features the youth was sure to be good-looking despite the mask hiding his face, he had his hair resting on his back with a sword in hand.
"you have trained your dragon palm to the fifth level, let's test it out young lady ", the masked youth said playfully. Alex felt the voice was familiar but couldn't know who it belonged to, he was panicking.
" Not interested ", Ancy shrugged her shoulders as she ignored the masked youth and turned to Alex instead. Alex was concerned, his sister wasn't putting the masked youth in her eyes, how strong was she?...
The masked youth was even surprised, raising his brow as anger was building inside him, and he burst out. "How dare you ignore me!", with a strange foot skill the masked youth started flying; like he was levitating flew towards Ancy with his sword.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The attacks were clean and accurate but I guess Ancy was just good at evading; not a single attack scathed her skin; she was evading without breaking a sweat. Alex was stupefied how can his sister was able to evade each attack without any effort at all?; the sword blades of the masked youth seemed to can cut through anything.
Landing on the ground like a leaf, "you've not disappointed me, evading each move I have made easily, hehe, you must be a sword genius," the masked Youth acknowledged. "What if I am ? and what if am not ?, your sword skills are just poor that there are so many flaws, go and Polish up", Ancy said with disdain clear in her eyes.
The masked youth narrowed his eyes, he couldn't believe it. Did this lady look at him with disdain? Hehe, "young lady, are you sure? You are digging your own grave!", the masked youth's eyes became sharp; it was to say he would not hold back this time. Ancy sighed, she had no time to play with this crazy youth, he was wasting her precious time. "Then come at me and don't hold back", Ancy cut in to make things fast.
The youth moved at a scary speed that Alex's eyes couldn't follow, with a strange foot skill in rhythm with the attacks, it looked as though he was dancing with the blades,
Shoo! Shua! Shoo!.
With a backflip Ancy evaded, unsheathing her sword, she was forced to use her sword as she returned the favor, Ancy's speed was triple the speed of the masked Youth because of this, the masked youth couldn't keep up. Backflipping in the air several times he was barely able to evade, her attacks becoming intense. Ancy's sword was unpredictable coupled with how fast it was attacking, she looked like a sword Saint her face still peaceful as always-
Slash! Shoo! Boom!
The masked Youth was sent flying hitting a tree and spitting a mouthful of blood; He was caught off guard so he was left with no choice but to block but then the attack had so much power.
Alex widened his eyes, He was so afraid that maybe the masked youth died, he was terrified at his sister's display of strength. He ran with trembling hands only to find a face of a handsome youth with light blue eyes his mask all shattered to pieces. "JIAN YOU STINK!", Alex thundered, he was so damn terrified to the core, what kind of a person is he?; to think he can attack them fiercely, "why is everyone so crazy these days", Alex complained as a gave Jian a kick in the stomach, of course, it was a very light kick considering that he was kicking a strong cultivator.
Ancy's expression changed she was solemn, how can she forget Jian the crazy brother who always wants to duel with her now and then but she turned him down, and now to think he had to go this far, she was lost for words. She was shocked at what she had just seen, it was the first time she had seen Alex this cross with anyone, she could Cleary see the fear in his eyes.
Jian froze for a moment, he was surprised at what just happened. Being ranked in the top five of the dragon bone list, he couldn't believe he was suppressed by his weak sister who was in the top ten. How can he be defeated? He glanced at Ancy's emotionless facial complexity. Jian was ranked fifth on the dragon bone list of the southern villages yet he was defeated easily by Ancy who ranked eighth. His martial arts were superb had amazing sword skills only second to Ancy, coupled with his strange foot skill, he could defeat youths of the same generation and suppress those with high cultivation.
The reality was so damn dangerous, it was a slap in the face it's good that no one else witnessed the battle. Even if he was still holding back, it should have been enough to put her down right? Jian wondered if Ancy was holding back as well, and with that, he felt threatened.
Shoo! a sword was at his neck, "get up", Ancy said with disdain on her face. Jian has wasted her precious time. She had to use her sword to put this punk down, even though she was ranked eighth on the dragon bone list, it was not her real strength because she was always holding back. Ancy would never want anyone to know the depth of her strength but now she had pushed things too far, it wasn't her fault though.
"Ancy is, can't you be merciful to your second brother " Jian begged Ancy, as for now he can't be arrogant he knows the rules of this world," only the strong decide". Jian had been defeated effortlessly. "oh really" Ancy was suspicious in her tone, this Jian brother of hers was cunning, and she had to watch her back. But then a smirk appeared on her angelic face, Jian swallowed hard he knew that something worse than death was coming his way. It must be stupidity, Jian and Ancy were families, so why would Ancy kill Jian? Well, I guess in this world anything is possible after all Jian attacked Ancy with full force.
"carry Alex! "Ancy commanded with a smirk visible on her lips, she was entertained in watching her handsome brother's pleading expressions. Jian's world was torn apart by the cold Ancy, he couldn't believe what just happened to him, biting his lower lip hard until it bled just to wake up from this nightmare. He had thought that Ancy would be cutting his finger and stabbing him in his stomach, worse he even thought that Ancy will demand to be carried and for that, he was not willing to do that. But carrying Alex the trash is something he considered to be worse than death. He despised Alex the trash very much no despise is a weak word he hates Alex to the core, and can he carry trash?...
Alex was trembling like cold water was poured upon him, he couldn't believe what he just heard his sister say, with mixed feelings, he gazed at Ancy. As if feeling the swirl of emotions in Alex, Ancy looked behind her only to meet Alex's jade-like eyes that are always beautiful, she could never get just enough of it. She nodded back at him slightly, to tell him that everything is fine.
With that brief moment, it was enough for Jian to stab himself or run really fast but too bad or his luck was just shit today, Ancy's cold blue eyes were fixed on his figure, how can he even breathe. Ah! this is total humiliation to think that a top genius ended up like this heeeya.
" Hurry up and carry him, we are racing against time ", Ancy's tone of command sounded as if it were the most normal thing to be done.
While inside a pavilion-like building were many scary auras but one was much more frightening and eerie.
" Village Lord Feng, what are your views on this recommendation letter from the capital, "asked an elder with a pink face, wearing a white robe, and one of the five elders of the blood culture village. He is responsible for all the cultivation and Martial arts training of young geniuses. Everyone called this elder the martial king. Martial king elder was sweating everyone was sweating maybe because of the strange quiet Feng lord was portraying coupled with the still closed eyes. Martial king couldn't understand this village Lord at all.
"Xin Xu, don't you find it suspicious?" Feng asked with his eyes still closed his tone all worried, he couldn't let himself believe that those monsters from the capital have suddenly noticed their existence, all those years, no expert even stepped foot to grace their insignificant village, even the letters they have been sending for recommendations had all turned out to be nothing but silence, now that blood culture village is suddenly becoming a Haven, only to send a recommendation letter what does it all mean is the only question. Lord Feng Xu is smart, he handles everything righteously, and he was respected throughout the southern village for his righteousness. Feng's aura burst due to the swirl of emotions in his heart. Any ordinary village Lord would be excited about this golden chance, but not Feng, he was different he could feel something worse was lurking in the shadows but pointed out what it was... With a deep sigh, he slowly opened his deep blue eyes, those calculating and beautiful blue eyes. Feng Lord was rather handsome for his age, with gray hair resting on his back his movements were delicate and graceful."I mean what do you Elders think on this matter? "Feng Lord opened the floor for discussion.
"Lord Feng I think it's still a good chance for our young geniuses to gain some experience out there " Zhao Xu the defense elder suggested.
" I think elder Zhao is right, take for example Sony a promising Lord who has no experience at all, he and other geniuses should grab the chance to face real battles", Xin the Martial king supported.
"I am only a medicine elder, I know nothing about cultivation and Martial arts but as long as it's for the benefit of our village," Rong said carefully, she was the only female elder and so her suggestion was important.
"It's good, it might bring honor to the village, even so, we are in no place to reject if we don't want to be wiped out by those lunatics in the capital", Feng Lord closed the discussion.
The families from the capital have been recommended for the top twenty in the southern villages as well as musical geniuses and dancers. The tournament is to be held in blood culture village because it was in the Centre. All great villages will have to send their young geniuses here four months from now, it was something to anticipate.
With the discussion closed, all elders left the room except Rong the Medicine elder, and Lord Feng. "Martial Sis, I feel uncertain we are doing the right thing," Feng lord said as anxiety swept over him. Seeing this Rong chucked, "Feng are you afraid to implicate Alex? let him participate just don't allow him to leave this village, it's where he rightfully belongs", with this Feng's tensed self softened, he could not deny the fact that he was deeply worried over Alex. "Martial is, please lead Alex" with that Rong and Feng lord left the building only to be shocked at the scene before them.
