Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 144: The Arrangement



Chapter 144: The Arrangement

Lin Xiao looked at the sword then towards Sui Wenyan. "That's not possible."

Thwack!

"What do you mean not possible, ah? You haven't even tried it before." Sui Wenyan clicked her tongue. "The biggest advantage Foundation Establishment over Body Training is the fact that we have more control and use Qi while you only use Qi inside your body to temper yourself. Some skills did require Qi to use, but it's all only inside your body, so you're not going to last when you face Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"They won't be able to hurt me that much," Lin Xiao protested.

"Really?" Sui Wenyan narrowed her eyes. "Shall we have a go and see how good you are?"

"Sure."

"Then I won't be polite."

Swish!

The moment the pressure came, Lin Xiao punched forward. Even though he was holding the sword, his movement didn't halt in the slightest bit. He was quick and able to move towards Sui Wenyan even though the young woman was already busy attacking once more.

'Mountain Sword!'

They were not idiots who would shout out the name of the skills they used. Most of the time, they would only say it inside their mind while their body acted out the skill. After all, leaking out the information of one's skill to the opponent was idiotic.

Lin Xiao might be an idiot but he still knew how to protect himself in this kind of case.

Swish!

The attack effectively countered the soundwave from Sui Wenyan. The young woman looked at Lin Xiao's action and the corner of her lips curled up. When was the last time she ever saw that skill?

For a split second, she recalled the day when she was still training in Taiyi Sect. Everyone was happy and even though there were occasional fight, it was all for training. There was no one there who would try to provoke other people or push their fight into live and death arena unless it was necessary.

Harmonious and unity.

That was the main point that Taiyi Sect disciples were taught with. They all also knew that they have to become more powerful because that was the only way they would be able to protect their sect.

Tep!

Sui Wenyan swiftly evaded to the side. Her movement skill was different from Lin Xiao, it looked like drifting cloud and before one knew it, she had already moved place.

Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed as he also used Moon Evasion and then reappeared behind Sui Wenyan. He didn't know much about her, but he knew that he had to close the distance and punched forward.

Bang!

The punch was connected.

Sui Wenyan was pushed to the back, yet there was no wound on her body at all. There was only a faint shield around her body as her fingers played the note in her zither. Rather than fighting, she looked like she was only walking around while playing music as beautiful music drifted on the air.

It was enchanting.

The song sounded as if it was pulling them into dreamland.

Hard to resist.

"Ha!"

Screaming loudly, Lin Xiao charged once more. His movement was normal charge as he swung his sword once more. Internally, he was screaming to himself.

'Mountain Sword, Second Stance.'

Swish!

The stab of his sword stopped a few millimeters away from Sui Wenyan's neck. The woman was still as calm as ever with a faint smile on the corner of her lips. Before Lin Xiao managed to pull his sword back, her finger played another note.

Swish! Bang! Thud!

Lin Xiao was pushed to the back and hit the wall. His body slumped on the ground as he looked at Sui Wenyan. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he realized that there was faint internal wound inside him.

"You're not my match yet, Master."

Master?

Wenren Yu and Lin Yun were stunned when they heard what Sui Wenyan said. Even though Wenren Yu had told Sui Wenyan about Lin Xiao, he never thought of asking her to follow Lin Xiao too. After all, many Taiyi Sect disciples might feel bitter because the inheritance was the cause of their loss.

Lin Xiao wiped the blood on his mouth and nodded at Sui Wenyan. While it looked like he was at the attacking side and kept on advancing, Sui Wenyan was never at disadvantage during their short exchange.

She knew his moves like the back of her head and there was even faint mocking on the corner of her lips.

Yet, all he knew was these movements.

"Your movement skill surprise me a bit, but it's not enough for you to beat me," Sui Wenyan analyzed. "You need to already prepare the skill for the attack so that there's no delay. Your movement skill is instant move, which is a very deadly skill but I think it's also very consuming."

Lin Xiao nodded. He had used up quite a lot of Qi just for one use of Moon Evasion. While it was effective because it was so quick, he could never use so many times before he ran out of Qi.

"This kind of skill is the most suitable for assassination and also to escape during dire moment. However, you might need other movement skill….forget it, you need to focus on your cultivation too."

Learning skill also took a considerable amount of time. Sui Wenyan herself spent a long time just to learn the skill for her zither, so she knew that asking Lin Xiao to learn so many skills would only be counterproductive. There would be so many geniuses whom he needed to face in the future.

Looking at Lin Xiao, Sui Wenyan sighed. To think that this little brat would be the one that lead the entire kingdom.

The biggest question was:

Could he do it?

"What is it? is there something on my face?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion.

Sui Wenyan shook her head. She turned to look at Wenren Yu. "From now on, I'll be following you."
