46. Bullying The Little Fox
Yue Liu could never have imagined that Xia Yi, who was clearly a mage, would suddenly pull out a Holy Sword and block her strongest sword technique. It was utterly absurd.
To be defeated by one's own best move was a humiliation like no other!
"I refuse to believe it, this must also be magic!" Yue Liu reacted quickly, retracting her weapon after her most powerful draw-and-slash was blocked, and attacked Xia Yi from another tricky angle.
But the result…
Remained unchanged.
Xia Yi had already seen through her intentions, using the Holy Sword to block Yue Liu's strike again.
"Your weapon is… a Holy Sword!!" Yue Liu was astonished, "Why can you wield this weapon? That's clearly a legendary holy weapon of the human race!"
In truth, my real identity is that of a human Sword Saint.
However, Xia Yi couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. The idea of a Sword Saint being defeated and becoming a Dragon Princess was too embarrassing!
"Instead of worrying about that, why don't you focus on whether you can even touch me now?" Xia Yi deftly changed the subject.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Yue Liu regrouped and launched a new round of attacks.
Xia Yi, however, saw through all her moves and methodically countered them.
"If this is the level of your attacks, you won't be able to touch me. Maybe you should try a little harder," Xia Yi said with a light laugh.
"To speak so arrogantly in front of me…!"
"Whether it's boastful talk or not, why don't you experience it with your own body, fox of the Fox Clan."
Xia Yi raised Gram, pushed Yue Liu away, gripped it with both hands, and smashed it down with full force towards the pink-haired fox.
Boom!
Yue Liu's face changed, her body trembled, unable to withstand the blow, and was sent flying by Xia Yi.
If not for her excellent body technique, adjusting her posture in mid-air, she might have turned into a ball.
"This, this…"
Yue Liu knelt on the ground, her hands still shaking.
Compared to Xia Yi, Yue Liu was indeed very fast, which was one of her advantages.
However, she also had a disadvantage, which was that in a clash of strength, Xia Yi had the absolute upper hand, being much stronger than her.
"It's not fair, this isn't fair!" Yue Liu complained, "You're clearly a mage, why can you use a sword?!"
"Can't a mage use a sword?"
"If you use a sword and not magic, then what was all my effort for all these years? I chose to become a swordmaster because I knew you were a mage!" The little fox was on the verge of tears.
"You seem as naive as you were back then, a silly little fox." Xia Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What…! I'm not the same as I was back then, I've become a very powerful nine-tailed fox!"
Yue Liu was so angry she felt like she was going to explode, entering a state of 'red heat'. Once in this state, she would become reckless.
"I'll fight you with everything I've got! Let me show you my strongest battle technique!"
Xia Yi sensed something was off as Yue Liu's Cherry Moon began to resonate with her, amplifying Yue Liu's fighting spirit. This was definitely a sign that she was about to use her trump card.
Perhaps it was the instinct of a swordmaster, but Xia Yi felt a surge of excitement, even a strong sense of anticipation.
Yes, that's the feeling, to entrust one's heart and soul to the sword, where the strong clash fiercely in battle.
Come on, little fox, give me your all!
"Phantom Step!"
Yue Liu pushed her body technique to the limit, her figure blurring, leaving behind only a few scattered cherry blossoms.
Xia Yi immediately tried to lock onto Yue Liu's whereabouts.
But she kept darting back and forth between the cherry trees and the shrine, leaving a trail of afterimages. The afterimages made it difficult to discern her true location.
"It's futile, you won't be able to see me! Phantom Step has never been broken by anyone!"
Yue Liu's voice echoed from all directions.
"The more you try to find me, the more openings you'll show. Just wait to be cut down by my strongest strike! From which direction will I attack, I wonder? Guess wrong, and it's death for you, my old foe!"
Xia Yi knew that this was not the time to panic.
Her mind as clear and still as a polished mirror.
This was the swordsmanship realm she had long achieved, where no matter the situation, she could maintain her sword heart and think calmly.
Moreover, at the brink of death, she had taken her swordsmanship to a new realm, comprehending a new sword technique secret.
The little princess closed her eyes, letting darkness envelop her world.
"Have you given up resisting, Xia Yi? That's also a fine choice!"
Xia Yi ignored Yue Liu's taunts. In the darkness, ripples began to emerge.
There, Yue Liu's location was revealed.
Every step she took caused a ripple, and after locking on, Xia Yi made it impossible for Yue Liu to hide.
"Don't underestimate my obsession with you! Fall into the abyss of darkness!"
Yue Liu appeared behind Xia Yi, unleashing her Divine Extermination Draw Slash.
At that moment, Xia Yi opened her silver eyes and swung the Holy Sword.
The two clashed once again.
"Ah, no, no, no, no!"
This time, Yue Liu was sent flying without a chance to struggle, landing hard on the ground, her Cherry Moon sword flying out of her grasp.
Xia Yi stood her ground, unaffected.
The Fox Princess lay on the ground, her nine pink tails fanned out towards Xia Yi, a scene that reminded her of the past.
"Curse you, dragon, even so… as long as I haven't admitted defeat, the battle isn't over!"
Yue Liu got up, quickly retrieved Cherry Moon, and faced Xia Yi, ready to continue the fight.
Xia Yi, invigorated by Yue Liu's previous move, was eager to try her own strength.
Since the other was also a swordmaster, she must be looking forward to Xia Yi's strongest strike, right?
She decided to get serious.
The Dragon King's pressure.
Her silver vertical pupils emitted a faint glow as the blood power of the Silver Dragon King's lineage was activated. Centered on her, the cherry blossom rain was blown to the outskirts, brushing past Yue Liu's face.
The little fox stood frozen, as if petrified, her body unresponsive, her expression locked in place.
She stared at Xia Yi from a distance, feeling as if she was facing an insurmountable mountain.
Xia Yi slowly raised Gram, ready to strike down, but then she saw a strange sight.
The dazed Yue Liu's legs gave out, and she fell to the ground, her ears drooping, her tails wilting.
"Whimper…"
The nine-tailed fox princess in her shrine maiden attire seemed to have reached her limit, the over-the-knee white stockings covering her fair legs… became damp.
