The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 146 - Red Lotus
Silence filled the arena of the current match, no one dared to make a sound first. Still equally shocked to digest what was happening before them, even more so Su Zhen. His broken sword still remained in his grip so tightly that in the end the woman regained her senses and bully with anger.
"What are you doing, huh?!"
The extremely high voice's shrill made anyone's ears ring, still not satisfied Su Zhen walked over towards Xin Chen raising his collar high. "You broke my sword! Do you dare to indemnify? Answer!"
Xin Chen let go of the woman's hand, "Why did you use your sword to fend off my attack, instead of you just dodging it. Look, it's your fault, too, isn't it?"
Su Zhen was unable to retaliate, he was unmoved in his place looking for another justification. "I haven't lost yet! The boy broke my sword and..." The woman was completely at a loss for words, the price of her sword was nothing but her pride was the price of death. Anyone who made his pride fall like this made him really angry.
"Games finished. Second Young Master Xin, Xin Chen is the winner."
"What?! I haven't lost to him!"
"Great teacher Su, the rules in this match anyone who leaves the arena will fall." Clearly the jury was courteous, Su Zhen looked at his feet and only realized that he had left the arena of the match.
Means that since then, when he really wanted to injure Xin Chen, the boy actually moved to corner him. In the final attack Xin Chen had calculated that Su Zhen would dodge his final attack and exit the arena, so that he could win without injuring his opponent.
Although it was still unacceptable for Su Zhen to keep trying to calm down, his high temperament was tried to control him given the many watching. The charisma of a Great Master of the Flower sect should be well-guarded.
"Eh... She won...?" The girls from the Flower sect began to whisper to each other, disbelieving in this final result. Those who were still in disbelief remained silent, occasionally whispering to each other. But among those spectators, there was only one person who clapped his hands over his victory.
Fu Yu looked at the surroundings confused. He didn't realize it was only himself clapping. Great Master Su glared at the girl until her eyeballs would probably roll on the ground. Fu Yu shuddered sinisterly, he immediately lowered his hand and lowered his head.
"Yu'er are you crazy?" His friend whispered near his ear.
"Pardon me. I just got a little carried away."
"Hush, you should have supported our Master. Why are you clapping when your teacher's opponent wins the game?"
"I didn't mean to..." The girl was not feeling well. Some disciples had dispersed with the vice disciples, some might want to rest after a daily half-compete. Only a few were welcome to stay, one of them was Li Yong and Huang Kun. The two people who held important positions in the sect.
"Teacher Li, how did you see that boy? He's a little bit more chatty than his father, I didn't expect him to actually beat that woman with the title Red Lotus." The nickname Su Zhen, Red Lotus he got after reaching the position as one of the Elders in the Flower sect at the age of 19.
The woman was indeed not the strongest in her place but each movement of her sword had its own uniqueness. It was undeniable, even when Xin Chen did not even have sword techniques and a big name in the martial world, he would definitely compensate his opponent in other ways.
"Now I understand why I can never surpass that person, when fighting he does not only rely on strength but uses his brain to excel in every fight. He'll never underestimate his opponent." Huang Kun circulated his gaze on the fallen tree leaves. He remembered being so young and training hard, with Shen Xuemei and Xin Fai.
Li Yong let out a small breath, although a furious look was precisely a small smile appearing at the corner of his lips. When he opened his eyes, Li Yong immediately turned to someone.
"Chen!"
"Otherwise? Can't you let me get out of this place alive?"
Li Yong clicked his head, "You've got what you're looking for. At least don't forget to attend this dinner."
"Not bi-"
Xin Chen grumbled inwardly, now he would have to wait for another night in order to continue traveling with the Lightning Fox. Rather than saying it again, he would rather be silent. If that was the case Li Yong was happy.
"Then are you willing to fight me?" Li Yong suddenly spoke, Xin Chen choked on his own breath. For a moment the man gestured to Huang Kun. The disciple brought back the sword and threw it at Xin Chen.
"Let's see how far your sword technique has gone."
"Eh-that, for close combat I really suck, Senior Li. I'm sure I'll lose."
"I know that too." Li Yong replied without any burden, Xin Chen was stunned. It is increasingly clear that he is bad at holding weapons.
"Then why did Senior test me?"
"To train you, at least this swordsmanship will be very useful when you are really in danger."
"All right.."
"On one condition. If you use your inner strength or your ingenious style. Don't expect to survive me."
"Good!"

Practicing the sword with Li Yong was indeed like grilling himself in hell. Xin Chen's entire body was bruised, rather than being called a practice, it was more suitable to be called torture. Even to take a breath he had to do it carefully, if he did not want his concentration to scatter and get a deadly incision from the wooden sword in the man's hand.
Indeed both of them only used wooden swords for training, only if it was in Li Yong's hands, the wooden sword turned into a fire whip. Xin Chen was inexhaustible, the more he let his guard down the more wounds on his body.
Huang Kun had just returned after taking care of his work, seeing that Li Yong was still training the child of his student. The exercise lasted at least three hours without stopping. He deliberately brought green tea so that the child could rest and take a breath.
Seeing that Huang Kun had brought Li Yong's drink finally decided to pause for a moment, Xin Chen sat on the ground panting. Unimaginably three hours had passed in the torture earlier, training with Li Yong turned out to be much more difficult than with the Lightning Fox. The proof is that he was just three hours old.
A little pensive Xin Chen was in his place, until Huang Kun came to offer him a drink. "Drink this to relieve your fatigue."
Xin Chen accepted it, Huang Kun was a bit unbearable to see it that way.
"At least in this short exercise reflect back on what you learned. I'll give you one minute to drink, we'll still have four hours before the banquet starts."
Xin Chen choked on his drink, staring horror at Li Yong who was already lashing out at the wooden sword in his hand. Horrifically.
