Chapter 25: Payback 2
C27 Payback 2
Two youths were staring at each other. One is holding a nasty-looking flaming sword, and the other is holding a green sharp sword. The staring competition then stopped when Chi charged towards Tiaolong.
This time Chi was the one who initiated the fight. His speed was very fast compared to Tialong's speed, so he arrived in a matter of seconds. Chi then stabbed his flaming sword towards Tialong, unfortunately... Tiaolong had achieved the state of Minute Subtetly so he reacted fast, despite Chi's insane speed.
Tiaolong used his sword to parry Chi's attacks. When the swords collided, a loud *DING!!!* could be heard. The energy of the swords escaped the impact and it affected the surroundings, slicing the earth and burning the ground, creating split earths and scorched marks.
Chi then followed up another attack, but Tiaolong did the same and the two swords collided again. The two youths power were almost equal, but due to Chi's swordsmanship skills, he was having a slight advantage.
This continued for a few minutes...
Tiaolong was now having a hard time catching up to Chi's attacks and speed. His disadvantage got even wider. Chi's attacks were now slowly affecting Tiaolong and a few cuts had hit Tialong's clothes.
Seeing this... Tialong's face darkened. He expected to have a good fight against Chi, but he wasn't expecting for him to be on the disadvantage like this. Yet he wasn't discouraged or fazed by this. In fact, he even got more excited about the battle and a smile escaped his face.
Feeling that he was losing in a straight up sword battle, Tiaolong then used his Martial skill *Dragon's Descent*. Now that Tiaolong was now in Xiantian Realm, the effects of the Martial Skills was more effective. A dragon's body and head then emerged from Tiaolong's sword. The crowd felt that the dragon from Tiaolong's sword seems alive. It stared at Chi with a ferocious glare. Tiaolong then proceeded to charged towards Chi.
Chi felt the danger rushing towards him. Luckily... He had learned haki and he reacted fast. He didn't try to block the upcoming attack since he felt that the power from it could hurt him. So he jumped at the side and retreated. The attack then hit the air, and the ground in its way split and created a lot of destruction on it's path.
After missing his attack, Tiaolong didn't stop and continued to use his Martial Skill again. Tiaolong didn't waste any time and charged towards Chi. Seeing the power of Martial Skill... Chi didn't let Tiaolong get closer to him this time, so he did another attack.
Yet this time it wasn't just a swordlight... But a sword-light coated with flame and red energy was flying towards Tiaolong's attack and it met the Dragon's head.
*BOOM!!!* The collision of the attacks made an explosion and it threw the two youths a meter away. Chi's attack was a bit weaker but it still successfully repelled the dragon.
Seeing this... Chi didn't stop and continued to attack in succession since Tiaolong's Martial Skill needed some time to charge. He decided to attack in succession to prevent Tiaolong from activating his *Dragon's Descent*.
The tides then turned around and Chi was now having the advantage again. Tiaolong could only dodge Chi's attacks slightly and be on the defensive since Chi was attacking from a distance.
Tiaolong felt hopeless against Chi's attacks, since if he uses his wind attacks to repel the flaming sword-light of Chi, it would only strengthen it further. Such he could only dodge and defend normally.
Tiaolong was now feeling the pressure and the heat of Chi's attacks. The crowd was now amazed by Chi. They were astounded by Chi's control with his Nature Energy, even Kyle was quite surprised of the genius.
The battle continued and the gap widened faster. Tiaolong was helpless against Chi's attacks.
"So this is a true genius huh? Only two years, yet you already caught up with me! But this is not enough if you want to win against me." Tiaolong monologued.
He then said something that made the crowd speechless. *Dragon's Steps* he muttered and two heads of a small dragon appeared on his feet. These dragons were not as ferocious looking like the former Martial Skill. In fact, it kinda looked cute. But when they appeared the crowd and Chi felt something off.
After the two dragon head appeared... Tiaolong suddenly vanished from his spot and he directly arrived in front of Chi. Chi could only sense something was gonna hit him, so he immediately tried to raise his sword and blocked the incoming attack. He hadn't have the time to dodge away so he could only defend.
Tiaolong was prepared to kill Chi but he wasn't expecting Chi's reaction to be so fast, that he had the time to defend even with his current insane speed. But still... Chi got blown away by this attack.
Tiaolong didn't stop and he blinked towards Chi again while Chi was flying through the air. Danger struck Chi again and he controlled his sword to defend the upcoming attack. *DING!!!* This made Chi blown away again, but luckily he wasn't thrown out of the stage.
The two dragon head on Tiaolong's feet then disappeared. The tide of the battle turned around once again. When the crowd saw this, they continued their breathing. The events happening made them breathless, they didn't expect the fight to turn around so suddenly.
A senior from one of the sacred families stood up and said "What is that Martial Skill? I have never seen that kind of Martial Skill in the Ximen Family before. Is that the rumored Heaven Grade Martial Skill!?" The senior looked towards the head of the Ximen Village and asked.
Due to the shock of disbelief, he disregarded his status and asked for the Ximen Family's secrets unconsciously. The head and the others just ignored him, but the crowd kept on murmuring gossips due to this ruckus.
They were still in shock with the events, so when the senior said the words, Heaven Grade Martial skill, the crowd automatically connected it to the two dragon heads that emerged from Tiaolong's feet.
Chi was now struggling to stand up due to the pain of Tiaolong's blows. He stared at Tiaolong and he thought 'that must be his Heaven Grade Martial Skill. He really is fast, I can't even see a glimpse of him. I need to go all out and use it'
He had a hidden trump card, yet he wanted to use it against Kyle. But, since Tiaolong's speed was out of his league, Chi decided to go all out against him. How can he even battle Kyle if he loses to Tiaolong?
"So the rumors were true. You really did went to the forbidden ruins and successfully gained something inside it. You have my respects, It was my fault for underestimating you, I'll now attack with all my might!" Chi spoke while swiping the blood from his mouth.
When the others heard this, they thought Chi was being arrogant. But at the same time, they were curious about what he meant by attacking with all his might.
Chi then did something inconceivable, he threw his flaming sword in the air and drew two swords from his sheath. He then threw the two swords in the air along with his soul weapon. He then closed his eyes... After a few seconds he opened it, his eyes were now emitting some strange glow of light than the two swords and his soul weapon started to rotate around him.
Seeing this spectacular move made the crowd shock, even Kyle wasn't an exception. True... A Xiantian realm could control their soul weapon and use it to fly or levitate, but controlling ordinary swords like what Chi is doing right now was not something Xiantians could do.
When Kyle saw the swords levitating and rotating around Chi, he could only deduce that this must be the next stage of his *one with the sword*. he was already used to the miracles Chi had shown so he wasn't quite shocked as the others.
"Let's go" Chi muttered and two of the sword flew towards Tiaolong. Tiaolong then activated his *Dragon Steps*, he then arrived beside Chi in a blink of an eye, but Chi's flaming sword met him and the two forces collided. Chi's two other swords then flew again towards Tiaolong. Chi's attacks now were very fast compared to his previous ones. The coordination of his swords was so in sync, that it made Tiaolong's moves become slow and predictable.
Tiaolong was now in a disadvantage. His speed was very fast compared to Chi, but due to Chi's expertise on his sword and technique, the speed of Tiaolong got minimized. So Tiaolong was now in the losing ground. The battle continued for minutes and a few cuts could now be seen on Tialongs body. Drips of his blood were now falling at the ground.
The head and the elders of Ximen Village now started to worry, they weren't expecting this kind of turnaround. The head was now worried and had even thought of intervening to protect his son. But doing this would not only ruin his and the village's reputation but also Tialong's, so he decided to went against his thought.
Tiaolong could no longer activate his *Dragon Steps* since his Qi was running out. He was only barely scraping by due to his Minute Subtetly. But it wasn't enough and the cuts on his body continues to multiply
Watching from the stands, Kyle was looking at Chi. He felt quite proud and happy since he had taught Chi for a little bit. He saw the boy grew from a weakling to someone beating a genius from a sacred family. He was enjoying the scene of Chi beating the shit of Ximen Tiaolong.
But he suddenly felt danger and attack from above towards everyone. He then thought 'so it finally started huh?'
Kyle then flashed to the stage and gripped Chi's shoulders, he then flashed back together with Chi on his hands to where the Tang Village members were located.
The spectators, even the Ximen Village Head that was on the stage didn't notice Kyle arriving at the stage. They felt something was off and they observed carefully, they widened their eyes when they suddenly can't see Chi at the stage. They looked around everywhere trying to find him, but then they felt danger.
The crowd suddenly felt an intense heat and they saw huge circled shadows on the ground. This made them look up, What they saw made them feel dread. They saw dozens of a flaming balls falling towards them like meteorites. The poeple in the crowd started to panic and some of them started run away from the area.
The happy competition was now disrupted and numerous shouts of panics and cries could be heard all over the training grounds.
