Chapter 310
Happiness is, the cat eats fish, the dog eats meat, Ultraman beats the little monster.
Although Li Shiyin was only at the late Foundation Establishment realm, it must be emphasized again that for her, realms had lost meaning already. When she fought with Jiang Xiaobai at the mid Gold Core realm, it was like Ultraman beating the little monster.
At that time there was heavy snow, fluttering down into the courtyard.
Li Shiyin and Jiang Xiaobai stood three yards apart facing each other. She said to Jiang Xiaobai: "Please draw your sword."
The snow was heavy, blowing around in disorder, obscuring Jiang Xiaobai's line of sight. Although the girl across from him was very near, he couldn't see her clearly.
He knew his own cultivation was much higher than hers. When he heard her ask him to attack first, he wanted to refuse at first, upholding his senior's magnanimity, and let her attack first. But in the end he didn't, because deep down he had a feeling that he probably couldn't beat her after all.
Without saying much, he directly used his sword controlling skill, calling out all seventy-two of his lifebound swords.
When the flying swords hovered in the air, filling the courtyard, even the falling snow was all blocked. The dense sword qi was like cold air, making it even colder.
The snowflakes that landed on the flying swords also turned them white.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't see the girl across from him, but he clearly felt the contempt emanating from her entire body.
"Receive my sword!" He shouted.
The seventy-two flying swords in the air then fell down towards that girl, along with the snowflakes.
And under his seventy-two extremely powerful flying swords, he saw the girl across from him raise her right hand to the sky.
Her hand opened like the most beautiful lily blossoming in the snow. A dazzling, purple-black radiance lit up in her palm. Sword qi shaped like fishes flew out from her palm, rising up to meet his seventy-two flying swords.
He looked up to see the white swords and black qi clashing in the snow, suddenly feeling a destined sense of birds in flight meeting fishes in the sea. He was the fish trapped in the seafloor, while she was the bird soaring in the sky.
Jiang Xiaobai knew he might not be able to beat her, but he didn't know there was such a huge gap between them.
As soon as his lifebound swords touched that sword qi flowing like fishes, the next second, the swords were pierced through, as if sharp blades had punctured flesh and blood, as if divine weapons had met ordinary swords. His flying swords and her qi weren't on the same level at all.
In one move, he had lost. The other side hadn't even drawn her sword, only using qi.
"But after testing it out, I realized the gap between us is truly too great."
Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Li Shiyin was greatly shocked. She asked in bewilderment, "You like me?!"
Jiang Xiaobai grasped a sword hilt, but didn't have the strength to pull it out. Not turning back, he said, "Is it that weird for me to like you?... Not liking you would be weirder!"
"But we've only met once before. And fought once," Li Shiyin really found it bizarre.
"There's no need for reason when liking someone," Jiang Xiaobai pulled out the sword, hugging it in his arms as he kept walking forward to pull out the next one. "Whether immortal or monster, as long as you don't completely lack feelings, you'll end up liking someone... I just happened to like someone I shouldn't have."
Hearing this, Li Shiyin couldn't help but think of her own master. When she first met her master, she still disliked him quite a bit, but slowly, unknowingly, she realized she had grown to like her master already.
She nodded. It seemed there really was no need for reason when liking someone.
Jiang Xiaobai pulled out his swords one by one, hugging them all in his arms. Shabby and tattered, there were seventy-two swords in total.
And he himself was also injured, staggering while holding these seventy-two flying swords. He left the Li estate looking destitute.
He had come as the Sword God, but as Li Shiyin watched his departing figure, she felt he was like a stray dog now.
Li Shiwen and Li Zhan had been observing the fight from the corridor. Now that Sword God Jiang Xiaobai had been defeated and left, they walked over to Li Shiyin's side. Li Shiwen asked Li Shiyin in astonishment, "You won just like that?"
Li Shiyin turned to glare at him, "I told you many times I'm very strong!"
"Who knew you were this strong..." Even after witnessing the battle between immortals with his own eyes, Li Shiwen still found it unbelievable. He kept asking, "Just one move? You guys exchanged one move and he lost?"
"I guess you can call it one move!" Li Shiyin nodded.
Only then did Li Shiwen gain some sense of how ridiculously strong his silly little sister was. He silently nodded, and looked towards Li Zhan.
Li Zhan knew what he meant, but remained silent, shaking his head. So Li Shiwen also let it go.
"Brother..." But then Li Shiyin asked, "Why did the Sword God say he was going to die?"
Li Shiwen was silent for a moment, then replied, "Perhaps he has another duel arranged with someone... I don't understand matters between you cultivators."nove(l)bi(n.)com
