Chapter 49.2: Indulging in Carnal Desire Chapter 49.2 \nT/N: Extra Chapter dedicated to Myrna M. and Nik A. for donating coffee. Thank you so much for your support! °Ëâ(â°âżâ°)âË° \nOn the north peak of KunLun Mountain, there was a massive slab of rocks forming a stony hill also known as Cang Huan. Cang Huan Hill didnât have any peaks and the summit only had four corners. It was shaped like a vase as its bottom was narrow and its top was wide whereas the center was depressed, forming what was known as the Yin Yang Stage.
The Yin and Yang Stage was measured to be around several hundreds of square feet, all cut up into tiny blocks. Chu Jiao and Su Ruizhi each stood on one of them on the battle stage, holding their swords.
âJunior Apprentice Chu, it seems that your sword doesnât have eyes. If youâre willing to admit defeat right now, and say your sorries, I will forget this competition had ever happened.â
Seeing the people gather below the stage, Su Ruizhi stroked the hair on her temples wanting to exhibit a tolerant and magnanimous attitude, putting on a gentle facade.
âHeh, apologize?â
Chu Jiao was wearing red clothes and her expression at this moment was extremely akin to her cold and frost-faced master. She couldnât stand seeing Su Ruizhi putting on such a moral act so she recited in a clear voice.
âSenior Apprentice Su opens her mouth and decides the good and bad of people, claiming them as rubbish and scolding them until they turn blind! Although Chu Jiao isnât talented, Chu Jiao will not let anyone insult my master! Senior Apprentice Su, the person who should apologize, is you!â
In a few words, she was able to deliver the meaning of the competition origin clearly. She unsheathed her long sword, emitting a sharp sound, and put out a hand towards Su Ruizhi with an expressionless face. âPlease!â\nSu Ruizhi saw that the people watching them had started to point at her, following Chu Jiaoâs words and she abhorred Chu Jiao even more so. She didnât continue speaking and only threw away the scabbard of her sword. She then lifted her sword up and charged towards Chu Jiao.
(Cling!)
Two long swords clashed against each other, causing the metal sound to ring loudly. The red and white figures immediately intersected on top of the stage and separated again in a split second, both flying back to their own positions.
(Ding!)
(Clang!)
(Tsss!)
The lights of their swords were reflected along with the movement of their figures as they clashed swords mid-air. The two seemingly delicate girls oozed with bloodlust. Everytime they collided, it was only to probe the other person, and every time they probed, there was a hidden implication of confrontation. For a while, specks of bright silver sparks could only be observed on stage along with the sounds of wind and thunder.
Most of the people surrounding them were disciples of the same realm. They stared at the figures of the two people intermittently clashing swords on stage. They originally thought it would be a duel with a definite winner, however, upon observation, it was actually difficult to identify who had the upper hand!\nSu Ruizhi only felt extreme shock while she was engaged in battle. She originally wanted to end this duel quickly and teach Chu Jiao a lesson, yet even after putting in all her efforts, she was still on par with her. Ho-How could this be! Hadnât Chu Jiao failed to break into Foundation Establishment Stage several times?! How was she able to parry her attacks without difficulty when she was above her in level! They were a realm apart! A realm!
Nevertheless, the current situation didnât allow for her to think much longer. Su Ruizhi spared no energy as she put her life on her sword and rigidly resisted Chu Jiaoâs ruthless attacks over and over again.
This Chu Jiao! How could she be this difficult! Why is her zhenqi so thick? Was she really not in Foundation Establishment Realm!?
Su Ruizhi was unaware that Chu Jiao had sharpened herself exhaustively through multiple trainings. She didnât know how many times Chu Jiao had gotten hurt nor did she know that whenever Chu Jiao failed to get into Foundation Establishment stage, she would always continue to cultivate night and day without a care for her life, gritting her teeth in staunch
Su Ruizhi was clueless that if it wasnât for the fact that they were just a realm apart, she wouldâve been thoroughly defeated by Chu Jiao sorely!
Even if their difference in level was only a realm apart, she was currently fighting back with all her might. Chu Jiao had only been sending out probing attacks but after 10 exchanges or so, she had already paved the sequence of her attacks. Whenever she delivered an attack, she was able to block Su Ruizhiâs route of retreat.
âAh!â
Finally, after failing to evade once again, Su Ruizhi was ruthlessly struck with the hilt of Chu Jiaoâs sword and she fell down heavily on the edge of the platform, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
\nââŚ..For calling you trash.â Su Ruizhi clenched her hands into fists. ââŚâŚFor saying your master was blind!â
Having gotten a satisfactory answer, Chu Jiao no longer wanted to be entangled with Su Ruizhi any longer. If Sui Ruizhi hadnât tested her bottom line today, she wouldâve been too lazy stir up trouble.
âThis situation proves thatâŚ.â
âMy masterâs eye for things had always been praiseworthyâŚ.and alsoâŚâ
Chu Jiao withdrew the sword in her hand and looked down on Su Ruizhi. Her voice calm and rippleless.
Her figure was slender and elegant, it stood naturally straight. Her face retained the same atmosphere when she spoke yet her tone wasnât filled with pride from having defeated an enemy who was above her but was of a tone that was elaborating a fact.
âThe one whoâs trash isnât meâŚâ It was somebody else.
After having gotten the apology she wanted, Chu Jiao turned around and prepared to leave.
It was right at this moment that something had suddenly happened.
Chu Jiao felt a blast heading straight towards her from behind and she was unable to avoid it in time!
