Chapter 100 Ban Vs Jack

Bac became stumped by his brother's remarks. But he tried to deny it immediately. 'No, he is saying that to appear nice in front of everyone. All he wants is that hearty fight of his. He just wants to win and prove to my father that he is worthy. He is taking my chance to be the next patriarch.'

A fire of hatred burned in his eyes, and the only thing he wanted to do was take over this town and live a luxurious life with his queen.

Jack, on the other hand, was surprised, he didn't expect those words to come out of Ban's mouth. He bowed his head down and smirked to himself. "I guess not everyone is the same."

His head shot up as he looked at Ban with wide-open eyes. "Show me if you're worthy of having a hearty battle with me."

As Jack unsheathed his sword, Ban also said. "I won't underestimate you because you have a lower cultivation realm than me. But don't ever think too highly of yourself."

"Same to you." Jack rushed at Ban after saying that.

Ban didn't back down and went forward to tackle him head-on.

Ting

They attacked each other without using any kind of spiritual energy, just to test each other.

Jack attacked with swiftness and agility, while Ban attacked him with heavy attacks.

Jack felt his sword vibrate every time it collided with Ban's. He didn't want to go into disadvantage so early on. He began to use spiritual energy which forced Ban back.

However, Ban also used spiritual energy and went into a deadlock with him.

BangBang

Ban and Jack clashed everywhere on the field. Ban felt he was at a disadvantage now. Earlier, Jack wasn't able to use spiritual energy, so despite being swift and agile, he wasn't able to overwhelm Ban with a barrage of multiple attacks. But now that he used spiritual energy, he was able to move at a faster speed, and his sword appeared to be dozens of shadows to the naked eye.

Ban decided to use his family's technique. " [ Burning Heart - First Form - Clashing Waves ] "

Jack's eyes widened as he would get decimated by that move in such close range. So, he leaped back and also used one of his moves. " [ Swift Sword - Butterfly Dance ]"

Their swords, infused with spiritual energy, clashed again, but this time with much bigger blows and fast exchanges.

BangBangBang

Red and white lights collided with each other, creating a dangerous yet beautiful sight.

…

"This time someone is able to make Jack serious." Roy joked from the start, to which Odino and Joy didn't give much response. They were engrossed in watching the fight.

However, Brustiar and Galibar, who had their ears always perked for any kind of comment from the elders, heard that.

Galibar wanted to hear something interesting and find a way to taunt Brustiar through them. Hearing that, his face darkened. 'Wish I had someone good. That good-for-nothing daughter just left like that.'

However, he didn't know; his good-for-nothing daughter was right next to him, always keeping a close eye on him. Only Odino and Kaley herself knew what kind of face she was making under that guise.

Brustiar, on the other hand, wanted to hear praise for his son. He wanted to brag to Galibar. Now that he heard that, he didn't know if he would be proud or not. It felt to him like they wanted to see Jack's performance by using his son. 'Bastards, don't underestimate my son.'

…

Ban and Jack's bodies started to pile up injuries, but they didn't pay any heed to that. They were completely in the zone.

Ban distanced himself and subconsciously used his second move, seeing the opportunity. " [ Burning Heart - Second Form - Raging Storm ] "

A jet-red spiritual beam shot out from Ban's sword that was much brighter and thicker than Bac's. He imagined that as a long sword and decided to use it from long range.

Jack did the same as he did with Bac and went into his second move's stance. Sheathing his sword, he mumbled in a daze. " [ Swift Sword - Lightning Strike ]."

…

"Huh? Looks like I came at the right moment." Suddenly, a figure entered the arena, which no one paid attention to.

…

Jack drew his sword and shot toward Ban like a lightning bolt. Cutting through Ban's sword beam every time, Ban swung at him.

Then the moment came: Ban's sword collided with Jack's.

BOOM

But this time, Jack wasn't able to overwhelm Ban. Ban's started to bleed from all over his orifices but he still held on and tanked that attack.

'That was so fierce and strong!' Praising Jack's attack in his mind, he drew Jack's attack to his right and kicked at Jack's stomach.

Bam

"Ack!" Jack didn't expect such an attack and got his body shot backward. He crashed onto the ground while rolling a bit; only then did his body stop moving.

Ban got the time to breathe; he used his sword as a crouch and exhaled deeply. He wanted to heal his body, but it would siphon away all his spiritual energy as his body was riddled with deep cuts. 'Those lightning sparks coming out of his sword were sharp as blades. Now, he knew why Bac got a giant cut on his chest despite Jack's sword touching his chest. 'That means he showed mercy to my brother, and I was strong enough to disperse it and not let them condense on his sword's sharp edge.'

Jack got up from the ground feeling his rib cage getting broken. Jack couldn't heal that because of his only weakness; lack of spiritual energy. For this reason, Gyuki's technique suited him the most. Gyuki was like Jack too, so he created a technique that would use spiritual energy efficiently and use the most of it.

Jack and Ban looked straight into each other's eyes and smiled. They thought of the same thing simultaneously.

'Looks like it's all or nothing now.'
