Chapter 222: Cutie Vs. Beauty
Tang Feier jabbed her finger at Li Xiang. If I win, then that establishes that All-Heavens Sect is more powerful than your trifling Starbound Sect. You will go to All-Heavens Sect, so that your genius can be properly nourished!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Hui jolted, shocked. Wait, what? Not Li Xiang! I wont allow it!
Although you know those words to be true, I, Li Xiang, will nonetheless prove them to be false, Li Xiang said quietly. She drew her sword, and her eyes flashed with cold light. Although she stood completely still, she emanated an unstoppable air, as if she had the momentum of a landslide behind her.
Eh, wait. She didnt make that a condition of our fight well, to be fair, I refused to have a proper fight and then died immediately, Hui thought to himself. Are they specifically targeting Li Xiang, or did I just happen to throw her off her pace too much? Hmm, in this world, its very easy to throw people off, isnt it?
Still, thats not a very cute thing to say. I dont think Tang Feier herself is the one who wants to say that. After all, I acted a little unexpectedly, and she completely forgot to add that condition to our fight. Instead, it feels like someone else has put those words in her mouth. Gui Delun, if I had to guess. Which means All-Heavens Sect is specifically targeting Li Xiang or should I say, Starbound Sects strongest inheriting disciples!
If All-Heavens Sect steals away all the inheriting disciples well, theyll have plucked all the future potential off Starbound Sect! All the future Peak Lords or potential Sect Masters will be gone. This is not only an aggressive maneuver, butwith the right mindset, one could see it as a hostile takeover! They mean to completely supplant Starbound Sect. Even if they let us disciples return after a time, theyll have had the time to change our cultivation methods, our mindsets, and everything. Wiping out our old cultivation methods and replacing them with new, even if those new methods are stronger, and its done with good intentits the same thing as wiping out the inheritance of Starbound Sects Peak Lords.
Although I believe I can hold out, since I havent met anyone in this world with the kind of mental resilience it took to survive in my old world, Im not too sure about the others! Li Xiang is smarter than she seems, but shes proud. As for the other inheriting disciples, I've never met them, but I doubt they have the kind of mental resilience it takes to play deadahem, survive that kind of event!
Ah, its possible Im getting ahead of myself, and they dont mean anything of the sort, and this really is a friendly exchange, and yet Hui narrowed his eyes at Tang Feier. It doesnt feel very friendly.
Opposite Li Xiang, Tang Feier struck a cute fighting pose, her face determined, yet still adorable, cheeks puffed in concentration, her brows furrowed just enough, a tiny pout on her face. Here I go!
Tang Feier leaped at Li Xiang. A shockwave flew out behind her, and a footprint appeared on the practice platform. In the blink of an eye, she delivered a dozen blows at Li Xiang.
Li Xiangs face didnt flicker. Her blade darted forth, deflecting every blow. Not a single fist landed on her robe.
Ha! Not bad! Way better than Weiheng Hui, Tang Feier declared.
A puzzled murmur rang through the crowd.
Was that ever in doubt?
How much is Tang Feier looking down on our Li Xiang? Comparing her to Weiheng Hui!
The All-Heavens Sect goes too far in their insults!
Hui turned his head away and snapped his fan out, embarrassed. Er its common knowledge that Im a bit of a coward, Elder Sister Feier.
The crowd around him scoffed.
Not easy to provoke to battle? Thats one way to put it.
Afraid to fight, more like.
Ha! Even if he did, what
Li Xiangs gaze passed over the crowd, and they fell silent. A chill fell over them, almost a premonition of danger. Only Hui felt nothing.
She turned back to Tang Feier. His path is not a simple one, upright and straightforward, like my own. However, if you had managed to provoke him to fight you would have found him an even more difficult opponent than myself.
Hui shook his head. Not so, Elder Sister. I cant compare to you! Those twelve punches I dont even know what I would do with them! Your battle prowess is utterly incomparable to mine. If you are the Heavens, then I am the earth!
More difficult? Yeah, only because hell flop over in the middle of the fight!
Its difficult to fight a limp body, I guess
Ha, what a joke.
Tang Feier grit her teeth and stomped her foot. One more time! I wasnt taking you seriously!
Even if you came at me with all your strength, the result would be the same, Li Xiang stated. She turned away.
Hui backed out of the crowd, shifting around the border of the masses to meet Li Xiang. If Li Xiang said it, it must be true.
I wont believe it. I wont! Im not weaker than the disciples of this stupid lesser sect! Tang Feier scowled at Li Xiangs back.
Abruptly, Tang Feiers animated expressions vanished, as if a hand wiped them from her face. She darted out silently toward Li Xiang with speed that she hadnt shown before. Her hand thrust toward Li Xiangs back, clenching a thin needle.
Hui whirled. Li Xiang!
