Chapter 51: Clash Of Brothers



The training ground was silent except for the murmurs of the gathered staff. The tension in the air was intense as Kai and Liang faced each other, their eyes locked in an intense stare.

Kai tightened his grip on his twin daggers, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew this wouldn't be an easy fight, but he wasn't going to back down.

Liang, on the other hand, stood with confidence, his sword glinting in the sunlight. His ability, "Overwhelming," had always given him an edge in combat, and he fully intended to use it to put his younger brother in his place.

"Ready when you are," Kai called out, his voice steady despite the feeling of unease within him.

Liang's smirk widened. "Very well, little brother. Let's see what you've got."Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

In an instant, Kai vanished from his spot, reappearing a few feet to the left. Liang's eyes tracked his movement with ease, his ability already shifting his perception of time.

Kai lunged forward, aiming his daggers at Liang's torso. Liang sidestepped smoothly, his sword parrying Kai's attack skilfully. The clash of metal echoed through the training ground, sending sparks flying in all directions.

The force of their collision caused the earth beneath their feet to buckle slightly, sending ripples through the ground.

"Is this all you've got?" Liang taunted.

"I expected more from you, Kai."

Kai gritted his teeth, teleporting behind Liang and slashing at his back. But Liang was already moving, his perception of time allowing him to react almost instantaneously.

"And for your information, I went easy on you."

"So hurry back and go cling on to your broken toy."

Kai struggled to get up, his body trembling with exhaustion and frustration. "I... I won't let you talk about Yanzi like that," he panted.

Liang's smirk faded slightly, replaced by a cold, calculating look. "You still don't understand, do you? Strength is what matters in this family. And you, Kai, don't have enough."

"That's why you ran away from the guy that broke your toy, remember?"

He turned his back on Kai, dismissing him as no longer worth his time. "This duel is over."

Kai clenched his fists, forcing himself to stand. "It's not over until I say it is." Liang paused, turning slightly to look at Kai over his shoulder. "You're delusional, Kai. But if you want another beating, I'm more than happy to oblige."

Before Kai could react, Liang closed the distance with a gust of wind, his movements a blur. He landed a series of rapid strikes, each one swift and devastating.

Kai tried to teleport away, but Liang was always one step ahead, his perception of time giving him the edge. The earth buckled and split under the force of their combat, dust and debris filling the air.

Everytime Kai would teleport away, Liang would instantly close the distance with his speed. Whipping up dirt with the gusts of wind created with their movements.

Finally, with a powerful kick to Kai's chest, Liang sent him sprawling to the ground. Kai lay there, gasping for breath, unable to muster the strength to stand. The ground where he landed was shattered, small rocks and dirt scattered around him.

Liang stood over him, his expression cold, as he stared daggers at him. "Stay down, little brother. You lost."

The gathered spectators watched in silence, the reality of Kai's defeat sinking in. Lord Jian Li, observing from the elevated platform, shook his head slightly, a look of disappointment and resignation in his eyes.
