Chapter 10: Utterly Stunned Yu Linger: |
"…"
Looking at the screen, Yu Linger recalled everything that happened that day.
At that time, she was guiding Ye Xuan in sword practice.
Though he couldn't channel spiritual Qi into his body, Ye Xuan's swordsmanship talent was outstanding.
With diligent training, his swordsmanship reached a certain level.
The duo engaged in a back-and-forth duel on the snowy ground, with Yu Linger maintaining a steady breath while Ye Xuan gradually weakened due to fatigue.
The disparity between a mortal and a cultivator was evident, no matter how skilled the swordsmanship was.
No matter how good the sword technique was, without the necessary strength and speed, it's just a flowery show.
Coming…
…
(On the screen)
"Junior Brother, your swordsmanship is really good…"
After the sparring session with Ye Xuan, Yu Linger praised him.
She knew that Ye Xuan lacked spiritual roots and was unlikely to succeed in cultivation in this lifetime.
Nevertheless, as long as Ye Xuan practiced hard, if he went outside, he would still be a swordsman.
Therefore, she never slacked in guiding Ye Xuan and never mentioned things like spiritual roots, which could upset him.
Ye Xuan replied modestly, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister's excellent teaching."
"Hehe, of course, I, a renowned teacher, can produce outstanding disciples," Yu Linger replied proudly, lifting her small head.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from the snowy ground at the moment.
Boom. Boom… Boom…!!!
A figure slowly emerged, walking like a person, towering at twice the height of a human. It has thick limbs covered in patterned fur, and a large tiger head with blood-red eyes.
"Not good, it's a tiger demon. Where did it escape from!"
Yu Linger immediately protected Ye Xuan, saying, "Junior Brother, run quickly, seek help from others."
"No, Senior Sister, I can't control a flying sword… Even if I run, I won't get far. Let's face it together." Ye Xuan shook his head.
"Okay!"
Yu Linger nodded understandingly.
She knew Ye Xuan couldn't control a flying sword, and also this mountain was filled with ice peaks; it would be a dead end for him.
"I'll fight at the front. If there's a chance, you attack."
"Got it."
Ye Xuan tightened his grip on the sword.
He said, "Senior Sister, if something unexpected happens, even if I have to risk my life, I will die for you."
"…"
(Present)
Unfortunately, that's not what he did later.
Watching the scene in front of her, Yu Linger couldn't help but reveal a disdainful expression.
She would rather Ye Xuan had run away from the beginning.
At least, she wouldn't have any expectations for him.
(On the screen)
Roar!!!
The tiger roar shook the snow, and snow crystals fell from the surrounding spiritual plants.
The blood-red-eyed tiger demon, looking at the two figures in front of it, drooled and rushed over.
Facing food, why bother with unnecessary words?
"Tiger Demon!"
Yu Linger, holding a long sword, charged towards the tiger demon.
At this moment, her body emitted sword intent, and sword lights sparkled like stars, following her movements.
For a cultivator like her to deal with this blood-eyed tiger demon in the Middle stage of the Immortal Realm was quite challenging.
But, despite Yu Linger’s young age, she was fearless.
The tiger's claws were extremely sharp; even Yu Linger would be torn apart if hit.
Her sword lights, like stars, swiftly pierced through the tiger demon's body.
Blood splattered, revealing the fierceness of the tiger demon.
Yet, Ye Xuan could only watch the dangerous battle between the two, stunned by the terrifying scenes.
Yu Linger soon channeled her spiritual QI, and her figure flashed between the tiger's claws.
Wherever she struck, the fierce tiger bled.
Sword cultivation was also divided into air sword and sword-holding.
Elder Qingyan practiced swordship, which required close combat with demonic beasts. If the cultivation realm was high enough, one sword strike could kill a demonic beast.
However, Yu Linger's cultivation was shallow, and fighting a tiger demon at close range was incredibly dangerous.
"Eat my sword!"
Yu Linger leapt, soaring into the air. Her figure rotated, and the sword Qi divided into several parts, slashing down as she circled.
Surprisingly, she cut the tiger demon's shoulder open.
But, just as her sword was about to cut through the tiger demon, the tiger demon forcibly blocked it using its powerful body .
"Stinky girl, die!!!"
With a roar, the tiger demon reached out its claw toward Yu Linger.
Unable to avoid it, Yu Linger was slapped dozens of yards away, crashing heavily into an ice wall.
"Senior Sister, are you okay?" Ye Xuan hurriedly came to Yu Linger's side, asking.
"I… exhausted my spiritual Qi… from now on… it's up to you… I have shattered the tiger demon's core. Even you can kill it…"
Taking a deep breath, Yu Linger told Ye Xuan about the tiger demon's condition before passing out.
Meanwhile, the blood-eyed tiger demons slowly approached.
With each step, the ground made a thudding sound.
…
(Present)
"The former me actually thought that Junior Brother Yu Xuan would really risk his life to protect me… even exhausting all my spiritual Qi…"
Watching the tiger demon approaching, Yu Linger couldn't help but laugh self-mockingly. Then, she couldn't help but show a look of anticipation.
Next, would be the scene of Ye Xuan being scared off by the tiger demon, and Senior Brother Qin would appear to save her, right?
She was unconscious at that time, so she didn't know what the scene was like when Senior Brother Qin saved her.
Thinking of that righteous Senior Brother, Yu Linger couldn't help but reveal a trace of admiration.
If it weren't for him, she might have died in the tiger demon's mouth. Compared to this guy, Ye Xuan, Senior Brother Qin was the real hero.
…
(On the screen)
Boom, boom, boom!
The tiger demon slowly approached Ye Xuan.
With blood-red tiger eyes fixed on him, it spoke, "Brat, this little girl is done for. You, a mortal, want to strike this tiger lord? The tiger lord isn't interested in mortals' flesh. Get lost!"
As the tiger spoke, its imposing voice was so overwhelming that it made people's ears hurt.
If a mortal saw a monster covered in blood, two people tall, with a huge tiger head, they would probably be scared stiff.
But not Ye Xuan.
He angrily yelled at the tiger demon: "Dare to harm my Senior Sister. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll kill you!!!"
As the words fell, he raised his sword and charged at the tiger demon.
"You've got guts, watch me tear you apart!!!"
The tiger demon raised his hand and grabbed Ye Xuan, who easily avoided it, and with a single swing of his sword, he slashed through the tiger demon's arm.
"As expected… your core is shattered, and there's no demonic Qi left!"
Seeing that he could easily injure the opponent, Ye Xuan became more determined.
A seriously wounded tiger demon without demonic energy was an easy target, after all.
With just a few more swings, he would definitely win.
…
(Present)
"What?!"
Seeing that Ye Xuan not only didn't run away but bravely fought the tiger demon, Yu Linger was utterly stunned.
This was different from the scene she had imagined.
The tiger demon was already at its weakest.
If Ye Xuan dared to fight it, he wouldn't lose.
However, if Ye Xuan didn't escape, why would the person who saved her be Senior Brother Qin?!
The real Ye Xuan saw the shocked expression on Yu Linger's face.
Seeing Yu Linger's stunned look, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Surprised now?
The real shock is still about to come.
‘Watch how I alter my villain identity, filling your heart with regret.'
‘With my life at stake, I won't be merciful.'
