I hid behind the bushes and waited until he calmed down when he finally did she was also done and was putting on her clothes she left at the river's bank.
A crow who suddenly flew out of the tree scared me and I stumbled through the bushes and fell face-first in front of the woman.
She looked surprised but put on her clothes not caring about my presence at all when I got my face with a bloodied nose off the ground she slapped me.
She said if you are going to peek do it right she sighed and then said I thought you were an obedient one you were still for so long in my arms I guess even a dog can try to bite its owner to decide the ranks.
I said angrily give me my swords back.
take them if you can she tossed one on the floor and stashed my ancestor's sword.
i reached for my usual sword which fitted my size better but the moment I touched the handle the sword was gone I barely caught it even using my martial maximum technique.
You might be a young dragon but if you are a dragon then I am a dragon tamer!
I said you sound arrogant young lady when I caught the sword may I remind you a young dragon is still a dragon.
she pouted slightly then threw me my sword and grabbed her whip she sounded a dragon without its fangs is but a lizard.
She struck at me I deflected her whip which slid me back into a tree her whip had the force of a cannonball I could only redirect her attacks if I wanted to suffer minimal damage.
You speak like a scholar are you one of the jaegal clan?
This mere eloquence of mine isn't innate but as a modern human my art of speech is truly inept I am not as great as the linguist who disguises the bad as good and wrong as right i am no senate head nor a politician i am but a mere wanderer.
you speak as thou are a scholar who wields words instead of a brush you fight like a great master but you are without a detain.
Your existence isn't right you are a wealthy merchant without goods you are a river without water a wisteria that bloomed with black flowers.
Why are you able to challenge an expert like me a phoenix who has already soared but you a dragon who hasn't left the nest and hasn't been taught by its mother how to hunt are already on par with me?
I doubt that, you are the strongest opponent I have faced but I will still show you what it means to be a dragon.
I really love your spirit but if I may give you advice young dragon that would be to watch your feet she said that right when she used her qi to bend her serpentine-like whip around my ankle.
she pulled me towards her which was a mistake on her part I was a modern human I knew physics or at least a bit I knew the moment was there when she tried to loop me around her whip in a circular motion I experienced it 14G it was hard for me to keep my consciousness in the extreme force of 14G's but I untangled myself while under the force wich sent me skipping over the river like a rock until I hit the waterfall.
I coughed up some blood and then I heard a cheery voice o wauw normally people pass out when I spin them like that I guess you really are a dragon but still an injured lizard with a broken fang can be eaten by even a mere ant.
You are speaking in dam riddles again you dammed cultivators system I muttered softly any hint on how I can increase my strength or better my health or get another weapon?

==================================
inventory give me that one my specially engineered weapon.
I hid my weapon under the meager amount of clothes I had and what I had left was even less after this fight.
she came up to me I kneeled from the pain of the wound I coughed up some more blood I spat it out on the ground then she knelt before me put her hand on my chin and turned my pained face to look at her.
She laughed o how will this great dragon overcome this adversary now that he is injured and his sword broke that's when a spike shot through her chin now yet reaching an extremely fatal point.
Before I go I will give you some advice my martial manuals which are in the prison under your bedding. you might be criticized for your unorthodox martial arts but only to those untrained it might seem unorthodox but your martial arts are pure don't use our energy-gathering technique and go to the lost lambs meeting those were her final words.
that's when I activated the spring mechanism in my spike gauntlet it shot the spike through her skull a truly pitiful end for a strong promising phoenix.
a beautiful woman someone who might have been a bit crazy but not truly unkind
