Chapter 71: Shadow Step

Ying Yue disappeared from her spot and two blades of razor sharp daggers fell on Shen Yu. He raised an eyebrow as this time Ying Yue had arrived in a blink of eye and her posture was more stable than previous time. There was some flows but she looked even more deadly now.

Not to mention that this time she was attacking in two different places with both of her daggers. Shen Yu didn't have the time to think much as the daggers were inches away from his vital parts. He shifted his body slightly and raised the stick to defend against the daggers. The first dagger passed, with only a small distance from his body.

However then, something happened that surprised Shen Yu. His stick had hit nothing but a pool of darkness that faded away upon the impact. And before he could react, a third dagger was coming at his guts. Because of his late reaction speed and posture, he couldn't even defend against that dagger.

It was as if the dagger would plunge right into his guts. However, how could he let that happen in front of his disciples? He threw the strick from his one hand, which arrived just in time to intercept the dagger. However, since Shen Yu wasn't controlling it, it was shoved aside. But it gave Shen Yu the time he needed.

He quickly caught the daggers from the flattened side and spun it, along with its welder. But Ying Yue was smart enough to abondon the daggers and back off.

A silence reigned in the ring as Shen Yu looked at the daggers in shock. He really had underestimate Ying Yue and her talent. She was a monster in battle.

'Tsk! That's why I don't like fights.'

However, he was very proud of Ying Yue and felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart. He threw the daggers back at her and said.

"You're amazing, Yue'er. I was caught off-guard by that feint attack. However, there was slight flaws that I'm sure you'll easily fill so you don't need any advice on this aspect."

Shen Yu was more than willing to shower Ying Yue with praise, and it even made Ying Yue's serious mask crack. Her lips tugged upwards hearing the praise as she smiled brightly. Her smile was dazzling and nobody would be able to compare her to the woman with the terrifying battle powress she had shown. After all, if there was someone else in Shen Yu's place, they would be dead in the first strike.

Ying Yue skipped over to Shen Yu and put her head forward, as if asking for something. Of course, Shen Yu understood the signals and began to rub her head, making her purr in bliss.

After almost an hour, Ying Yue was lying on the ring with sweat dripping from her forehead. However, her eyes were shining in happiness as her body itched to fight even more. However, it was clearly very exhausted and it would take some time of rest to get in her peak again.

Shen Yu came close to her and crouched down. He washed her face and cleaned her body, while saying.

"I still can't believe I have such a talented disciple. You don't even know how surprised I am at your growth. You're improving a lot faster than many others, even in Holy Lands."

After cleaning her, he picked her up in his arms, surprising her. But as always, she was more than happy to get spoiled by her master. She snaked her arms around his neck and listened to him.

"You were also watching our shadow a lot during the match. Learning from Shadow, heh, a pretty interesting thing."

"Hehe, well, I need to make sure our Sect is Number 1 and for that I need to work hard."

"Aye Aye! But don't forget to take rests."

Soon, they reached the place where the duo of Xiao Lan and Lan Ming were standing. Ying Yue was the first to see them as she greeted them.

"Hey! Did you like my performance?"

"It was terrifying to say the least. Even I fear you."

Lan ming replied with a light smile on her face. Xiao Lan from the sides nodded in agreement. Even she had to agree that Ying Yue was terrifying in many aspects, especially her learning capabilities.

"Alright, Ladies. I would love to chat with you all, but first we need to chat with the Sect Leader of Wind Flower Sect."
