Chapter 94: Being More Honest

Surprised at the figure appearing in front of her, Feng Qing takes a step back again, the previously proud look on her face now replaced with a serious and cautious one, as even amidst her firing her senses at full power, she doesn't even realize the moment that her opponent disappears from his previous spot and pops right in front of her.

Gaining a considerable distance, she points her sword towards Wu Xiaotian, the edge of it starting to glow a fiery red, the heat leaking out of it bending the space around her, making it so that it looks like the space around her twist and turn on an outsider's perspective.

Without uttering a word, she started swinging her sword, the trajectory in which it travels through forming multiple moon-like crescents burning dangerously hot, all of them flying towards Wu Xiaotian at an absurd speed, the audience believing that the immortal-like young man finally met his match the moment the lady unleashed this technique, as the overwhelming number of slashes she made is more than enough to completely cover the entire figure of the young man.

The young man in question though, merely swings the blade in his hand emotionlessly, fending off all the incoming attacks with ease, not even an ounce of effort can be seen from all his movements.

"Should I end this early?" Wu Xiaotian mutters to himself while looking at the serious face of his opponent, unceasingly sending in waves of offensive as if she's an infinite source of fire attribute qi.

Seeing the young man surrounded by all her attacks staring at it as if it's nothing, Feng Qing's face starts to transition from being serious to worried, as it is only now that she realizes that there's truly no traces of her attack all around the young man's body, his expression seemingly more of a real one than a façade to pretend strong in front of her.

As she continues swinging her sword, the young man surrounded by her attack disappears from her sight the moment she opens her eyes after blinking for an extremely short period of time. Spreading her senses around, she starts to panic even more as she failed to find even a single trace of her enemy within the scope of her senses, spreading far beyond the range of the two stone platforms.

After a few tensed moments, Wu Xiaotian finally appeared, striking down with his blade, the image of his attack appearing like a giant preparing to flatten an ant in Feng Qing's view.

Rooted on her position as she failed to move a single muscle in her body, she just stood there in terror and despair as she saw the blade descending towards her, the fear of death looming behind her shoulders, making her unable to hear the screaming and shouting of the people in the spectator's area.

"How dare you bastard!!!"

"You're so ruthless!!! You're just a cowardly man!!!"

"What a narrow-minded bastard, he would even hurt a beauty like that"

"Humph!!! I thought he's some kind of great guy but it turns out he's not"

Hearing the taunts and jeers towards him, Wu Xiaotian just continues the descend of his blade towards the lady's head, scaring her so much that tears starts coming down from her eyes, only this moment that he decided to stop the blade in its track, the wind pressure from such powerful attack merely passing through Feng Qing as if a gust blowing on her entire being, but the pressure just grows stronger and stronger as it moves further, a peculiar thing happening as the attack splits into numerous parts, moving towards the people that just mocks him, ripping their entire clothing into shreds, not even sparing the ladies.

As cacophony of surprised and embarrasses squeal and scream occupies the arena, Wu Xiaotian starts approaching the still stiff Feng Qing, helping her recover from her state as he taps her shoulder, infusing a bit of soul power to snap her out from her state.

"I trained so hard just to meet great opponents and fight with them properly so, w-why?" looking at the figure staring at her with an emotionless look on his face, Feng Qing asked, tears threatening to flow from her eyes again.

"Why what?" hearing the question, Wu Xiaotian just asked back, clearly clueless as to what the lady is pointing at with her question.

"You fought with that enchantress properly, even going as far as match your strength with her, why are you not doing it like that with me?" the lady asked while staring down, refusing to show her face towards him.

"I was looking forward to the match the moment I saw your fight" she added, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Looking at the lady, this being the first time he saw her speaking for a long duration, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but get surprised, but with the question now being clear, he's starting to get a grasp on the lady's personality, and honestly speaking, this kind of woman is definitely one that he would like to have a relationship with if he got a chance.

'She's definitely the legendary kuudere!! And not to mention one that seems to have some crazy attachment issues' he thought to himself while his mouth came out with an answer.

"Because there's no essence to your technique, like I'm fighting with a machine rather than a living being, as if you don't put your all and express yourself in each of your moves at all" Wu Xiaotian decided to frankly tell her how he felt when fighting against her, his unfiltered opinion seemingly hitting the lady where it hits the most.

"I… I see…" hearing his response, her head starts to droop even more, seemingly depressed at the answer he gave her, the atmosphere turning awkward as neither of them knows how to continue the conversation from this point onwards.

"Ahem…!" clearing his throat to divert their attention, Wu Xiaotian starts changing the subject, giving the lady a bit of motivation as he said, "You know, a fight with you will definitely be just as entertaining, if not even more than when I'm fighting with Zi Yu'er if you were to be more honest with yourself and put in your everything through every strike you do"

Knowing that the lady will be embarrassed should anyone see her getting treated like this, he even went through the effort of casting an illusion covering the entire arena through the use of [Immortal Illusion Technique], making it so that they appear to be still fighting to the spectators.

Lifting her head up through her chin, he smiles at her, his appearance making her heart skip a beat as blood seems to rush through her head, the first time in her life that she's feeling like that, chaotic thoughts starting to occupy her mind, but was interrupted as he starts speaking again.

"After all, anyone shines better when they put in their best, not to mention a lady such as yourself right?"

As his words enters her ears while taking in his smile, it was as if she was sent into a different place, her expressions turning stupefied while looking at him.

"I-I want to fight…no, I want to know you more!!" she said before sheathing her sword, confusing Wu Xiaotian in the process.

"But not now, I'm no match in any way as I am now" she added before announcing her surrender, the stone platform starting to separate from each other.

"Then I'll search for you later" Wu Xiaotian replied with a smile as they start parting ways.
