Chapter 270: 270, The Demon Sect’s cute creature challenges you
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun met Mao Nanbei’s gaze, noticing a hint of combativeness behind her playful expression.
It seemed that the little girl was not merely fooling around, she really was itching for some action.
Lu Xun glanced at the headmaster and then at his third senior brother, Zhuge Lai Fu. Noting their lack of intent to interfere, he concluded they were probably wanting some entertainment as well.
Lu Xun smiled and asked, “Fourth senior sister, I’m willing to oblige, but may I know your current realm?”
“As a matter of fact, I’ve already set my foot into the Sixth Realm!” Mao Nanbei’s cat ears waggled from side to side, clearly very satisfied with her progress.
Despite spending most of her time either eating or sleeping, with the remainder spent in apparent daydreams and finger-chewing, her cultivation base was showing serious progress.
If she managed to break through to the Sixth Realm, she would indeed be a force to be reckoned with.
Lu Xun, seeing her complacent expression, shrugged and said, “But I, your junior brother, am only at the Second Realm, fourth senior sister. Wouldn’t that be unfair?”
“Hmph, then I’ll just suppress my cultivation to match yours,” she shook the bells on her wrist, “Don’t worry, little junior brother, your senior sister won’t take advantage of you.”
“I don’t see where you’re bigger.” Lu Xun thought to himself, but aloud he asked, “Fourth senior sister, are you sure?”
“Hehe, if you want me to lower my cultivation even more, I can do that,” Mao Nanbei stood on her chair and puffed up her flat chest, acting incredibly arrogant.
“That won’t be necessary.” Lu Xun rose, and bowed to Mao Nanbei, “Fourth senior sister, please enlighten me.”
Mao Nanbei jumped off the chair, suppressing her cultivation base to early stages of the Second Realm. The bells on her wrists shone and transformed into two short knives.
Their Third Senior Brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, sat there with a gentle smile on his face, offering, “Then let me be the referee.”
Mao Nanbei raised her two knives, when the knives clashed together, a clear resounding sound rang out, and she said, “Little Junior Brother, watch out!”
The moment her words sounded, her figure disappeared without a trace.
Silent and swift!
Cats are known for their agility and silence, so her movements were quick and soundless.
Remember, a cat could play a snake to death with ease!
But this did not deter Lu Xun!
“If she had suppressed her realm, I would really have no way to perceive her every move. But fortunately, our realms are similar and I have a boost of 3 points of Spiritual Power!” Lu Xun thought with an inward grin.
His divine sense was stronger than the average Second Realm cultivator, it could even be compared to many of the Third Realm cultivators!
“Here she comes!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He activated Pink Ink instantly, the ink-like effect gathered around him, accurately blocking Mao Nanbei’s knife strike!
Her knife was only half a meter away from Lu Xun’s crotch.
The little girl was short, so her horizontal slash was aimed at just about that height.
“Luckily she didn’t use her catchphrase: ‘I’ll cut off your head with one slash’.” Lu Xun still found time to joke to himself.
The headmaster who initially watched with great interest, gave a slight twitch of his mouth when Lu Xun executed the Pink Ink, a technique he created. The ink-like aura was picturesque and full of meaning, no matter when you look at it.
Combined with Lu Xun’s peerless face, he truly seemed like a man stepping out from a painting, unrealistically beautiful.
“Fourth senior sister, watch out!” Lu Xun pointed his finger forward, and numerous Sword Qi shot out.
Ever since he practiced the Body Refining Sword, the technique of sending out Sword Qi became smoother.
If the speed of the released Sword Qi was “1” before, it was at least “1.5” now!
“Afraid of you?” Mao Nanbei, cute yet ruthless, didn’t evade and met the Sword Qi head-on.
A brilliant Knife Qi exploded from her swords, shattering the Sword Qi.
Lu Xun almost forgot that Mao Nanbei’s knife technique had a ridiculous name, the Three-legged Cat.
Every three slashes formed a cycle. Each slash was stronger than the last, and then stacked.
For instance, if the first slash’s output was “1”, the second would be at least “1.5”, and the third was over “2”.
And from the fourth slash onward begins a new cycle, but starting from “1.5” instead of “1”!
So although her output fluctuated, it was generally progressive.
Moreover, Mao Nanbei practiced the Blade Nurturing Technique, and certainly at a higher level than Lu Xun.
Therefore, her Knife Qi was dominant, fierce, and very frightening!
Fortunately, aside from the Sword Cultivating Technique, Lu Xun’s Sword Qi benefitted from other enhancements, but he could not afford a prolonged fight with her.
“I must finish this quickly!” Lu Xun decided within his mind.
With a sweep of his sleeve, a torrent of Sword Qi was generated.
Dozens of Sword Qi circled around him, and even the aura of Pink Ink became more concentrated, intertwining with the Sword Qi.
The ink flowed like water, and the Sword Qi followed the flow!
Moreover, they didn’t just randomly circle, they formed a Sword Array!
This was a combination of the Sword Array, Pink Ink, and Sword Qi!
The operation was extremely precise, without Lu Xun’s strong divine sense, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.
In an instant, dozens of Sword Qi were unleashed!
Mao Nanbei’s cat ears stood straight up, a serious expression on her face.
She boldly shouted, “Slash!”
The two knives slashed forward, merging their Qi.
The Knife Gang, a few tens of meters long, charged at the blinding Sword Qi.
Lu Xun cracked a small smile, thinking, “Hook, line, and sinker.”
He slightly opened his mouth, releasing a faint sound: “Boom——!”
Reverse Ancient Five Elements Sword Array!
The Five Elements Sword Formation, generated by the five elements, quickly transitioned into a form that overcame the five elements!
Dozens of Sword Qi started to repel each other, then exploded in an instant!
The turbulent air currents swept all around, instantly ripping apart Mao Nanbei’s Knife Gang!
The figure of “Nuclear Bomb Sword Immortal Lu Xun” disappeared in an instant.
Mao Nanbei swiftly noticed this and guessed in her heart that he was most likely behind her.
She swung her knife backward, but as soon as she turned around, her tiny buttocks were gently pat by the hilt of Lu Xun’s sword.
“Pop!”
The flesh on her tiny buttocks quivered slightly.
Lu Xun actually passed through the aftermath of the Knife Gang and Sword Qi!
Normally, anyone would expect him to sneak attack from behind at this moment, but he decided to act contrary to expectations.
Anyway, he just completed his Body Refinement and, aided by the protection of the “Pink Ink,” he would not suffer much damage apart from a slight pain.
“Fourth Sister, I have won.” Lu Xun said with a smug smile.
Mao Nanbei covered her tiny buttocks, jumped up to scratch Lu Xun’s face and angrily shouted, “You…you’re cheating!”
“How is that cheating? I didn’t sneak attack you, I attacked you fairly and squarely from the front, it was you who wrongfully anticipated my move.” Lu Xun retreated a few steps, avoiding the frantic little loli.
In his eyes, he slipped in the middle of a “nuclear explosion”, winning was absolutely fair and aboveboard.
“No! We need the best two out of three! I purposefully let you win just now!” Feeling embarrassed, Mao Nanbei wanted to punch him in his chest!
“Sure.” Lu Xun agreed readily.
He also wanted to see how much he had progressed, and Mao Nanbei was without a doubt a great sparring partner.
The second battle was about to begin; the little loli had become a bit more serious. She was determined to regain all her lost face.
She raised her right hand and gently touched her brows where a grey-black mark appeared.
The mark was like a black divine field and in reality it was Mao Nanbei’s ‘Demon Mark.’
Clearly, the little loli was now serious!
For the first time, a Knife Intention started to form on her twin blades!
Her Knife Intention was like a black flame!
“Little Junior Brother, I’m serious now!” Mao Nanbei disappeared out of sight again.
Lu Xun was not taking things lightly this time either. He realized that this time the victory would be decided within a few moves!
An extremely solid Sword Qi formed at his fingertips, depleting almost half of his Spiritual Power.
This Sword Qi was very much like a semi-transparent sword!
And, in that split second, the Sword Intent wound around the border of the Sword Qi, causing a strong mist to accumulate around the semi-transparent Sword Intent.
From a distance, Lu Xun appeared to be holding a Longsword made of mist and air!
“Here it comes!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He raised his sword, Sword Qi and Knife Qi collided, Sword Intent and Knife Intent became entangled.
Then, both stepped back simultaneously.
Just then, a shadow shaped like a cat emerged from somewhere and attacked Lu Xun’s back during the gap in their attack.
“Hahaha! Little Junior Brother, you’re going to lose!” Mao Nanbei cried out in triumph.
But who could have guessed…
“Boom!” The shadow directly smashed onto Lu Xun’s back and immediately dispersed, turning into a cloud of black fog.
Lu Xun just staggered a bit, but thanks to his robust physique, he didn’t get hurt at all.
He directly took the hit!
Seeing that her attack was unsuccessful, Mao Nanbei was slightly puzzled.
“How can it be!”
Little did she know, her Little Junior Brother had transformed into an Intermediate Spiritual Sword. Unless her sneak attack contained enough force to damage the Spiritual Sword, Lu Xun wouldn’t get hurt at all.
There was a brief awkward silence.
To mask her embarrassment, Mao Nanbei, like a ruffled cat, kept on attacking.
Her brilliant Knife Qi began to get even more violent, and the black flame-like Knife Intention also grew thicker.
Lu Xun didn’t dare to be careless.
At this moment, both his Sword Qi and Sword Intent also reached peak state. The Spiritual Power inside him was nearly drained, ready to execute his most powerful strike!
Both the person and the cat were determined to decide the victor with one move, uninterested in prolonging the fight.
To Lu Xun’s surprise, the little sword within his Sword Heart began to invigorate at this moment.
It was vibrating at high speed, producing triumphant sword hums.
As it was connected with Lu Xun’s intentions, he heard a battle cry within these sword hums!
It was actually asking for battle?!
(P.S: Recommend a new book “I am the Genesis of Mythology”. As everyone knows, I’m a charming and handsome figure among the authors. The author is one of my colleagues, so I highly recommend his new work, hence this is a real ‘py transaction’.)
