Chapter 457: 457, [Extreme One Sword]

“Demand? What kind of demand?” Mao Nanbei asked.

Then, she hopped off Lu Xun’s shoulder, put her hands on her hips, and looked up at him smugly, saying, “Don’t just make one demand. Make another one.”

In her view, if she didn’t suppress her realm, she could send him flying with just one hand!

The further cultivators advanced, the bigger the gap between each realm became.

She was, after all, no ordinary cultivator. She was a descendant of the Great Saint. She was a whole big realm higher than Lu Xun. Even if she held back, she felt she could easily win.

Mao Nanbei was already considering the final stance she would use to defeat Lu Xun. Last time, he had spanked her bottom with his sword sheath, should she slap him back with her hand this time?

The master had already lost his patience in the corner. He had already guessed Lu Xun’s intentions and went back to his house of his own accord.

Lu Xun crouched down to maintain the same height as Mao Nanbei and said, “One condition is enough. It all depends on whether the fourth senior sister dares to agree.”

“Humph! Do you think I would dare not?” Mao Nanbei puffed out her chest, though it didn’t make much difference.

“Fine then, my request is: we will define victory and defeat in one move during the match, how about that?” Lu Xun said with a smile.

“Just this?” Mao Nanbei blinked, looking incredulous.

She had expected that there would be some constraints to limit her power, never expecting that it would be a victory or defeat in one move!

Mao Nanbei looked at Lu Xun, pretending to be indifferent, while feeling ecstatic inside. She casually said, “Then… should we bet on something?”

Lu Xun took a step back and said with a frown, “Fourth Sister, you are a great cultivator of the sixth realm, and I am just a little junior brother who has just broken through the fifth realm. My realm is not yet stable.”

Seeing this, Mao Nanbei said, “So how about… we bet a small amount? We can have unequal stakes!”

Lu Xun pondered for a moment, seeming to struggle. After a while, he reluctantly said, “Well… okay then.”

Mao Nanbei: “Hooked!”

Dog thing: “Hooked!”

Then, Lu Xun and the little girl discussed the stakes of the bet.

Mao Nanbei’s demands were nothing more than food and desserts.

Lu Xun was not planning to make things difficult for her. Letting him pet the cat would be enough.

He had not petted a cat for a long time, missing the good old days when Mao Nanbei was still a small black cat.

Mao Nanbei initially resisted this bet, but when she thought that she wouldn’t lose, it seemed like the stakes were irrelevant!

Now that the stakes had been determined, they needed a referee.

Lu Xun directed his gaze straight to his second senior sister.

“I request the second sister to oversee this competition to ensure fairness!” Lu Xun said with a bow.

The icy Taoist nun looked at Lu Xun and then at Mao Nanbei, finally giving a slight nod.

She was also somewhat curious about the support that her little junior brother relied on.

And so, the second rather formal cat-dog war in the Small Study of the back hill officially began.

The contest site was set in the small bamboo forest because the master had gone inside to rest, and they were worried that if they competed outside, it would disturb the master.

The referee was the strongest and most impartial among them: the second senior sister. Ji Li and Lin Chan were spectators.

Mao Nanbei was not satisfied with this as Ji Li and Lin Chan were obviously Lu Xun’s cheerleaders…

Lu Xun, holding the sword sheath, stood opposite Mao Nanbei and said solemnly, “Forth Senior Sister, be careful!”

The bells on Mao Nanbei’s wrist transformed into two short blades. After she snorted, she said, “The one who should be careful is you!”

Lu Xun gave a light smile without saying more and quietly began to operate “One Sword”.

His competition with Mao Nanbei was precisely to test this newly learned “One Sword”!

For him, Mao Nanbei was the best opponent for practice.

In a moment, Lu Xun felt all the spiritual power inside him being drained away.

The feeling was extremely swift, like someone had quickly sucked away everything inside him with a little tongue.

He originally thought “One Sword” would be a kind of “charging skill,” but it turned out to be an instant effect.

Generally, the techniques that exhaust all the power in this kind of body are usually “charging skills”.

The sudden drain made Lu Xun feel somewhat uncomfortable in a short time.

His body could not keep up at all!

What was even more frightening was that draining spiritual power was just the first step!

In a flash, he felt the power in Sword Heart also being drained away!

Ever since the small sword appeared in his Sword Heart, this was the first time Lu Xun saw it in such a state.

It was like a sharp sword had turned into a soft one.

The brilliance on it seemed to have dimmed a little, and there was a clear sense of weakness.

Next was the Sword Intent.

Now, a Sword Qi was gathering at Lu Xun’s fingertip, filled with an extremely fierce power!

This sword evoked a sense of uncontrollability, it was incredibly brutal!

At this moment, the fog began to form.

Lu Xun’s fog-shaped Sword Intent filled the air instantly, then violently contracted.

It felt as if a cloud of smoke exploded and was then retracted by some force, gathering it all together.

The dense fog coiled around the Sword Qi, as though there was a misty dragon beside the Sword Qi!

Mao Nanbei, seeing Lu Xun’s strike, felt a crushing pressure looming.

It was only then did she realize her arrogance.

Forget Mao Nanbei, even the generally calm Second Senior Sister showed a surprised look on her face when she saw this sword.

Ripples emerged on the surface of this deep pool.

Seeing this savage and fierce sword, she was internally shocked.

This was the most extreme sword she had ever seen!

Yes, it was extreme!

All the power gathering on a single point, not leaving any room for manoeuver.

If this sword fails to defeat the opponent, then the one to die would be him!

In his mind, Lu Xun recited the phrase: “Gather at one point, reach the peak!”

The next moment, this Sword Qi dashed towards Mao Nanbei at an extremely fast speed.

Gu Xiaoman remained vigilant at this moment and was prepared to intervene in the battle at any time to prevent any serious consequences.

Mao Nanbei, seeing this sword, hastily brandished her knife.

This time, she brandished a pair of knives.

“It was agreed on one move, not one knife, it wouldn’t count as dishonest if I used this.” Mao Nanbei thought to herself.

Two dazzling Knife Gangs came forth. It has to be said that Mao Nanbei’s Knife Gang was at least visually splendid.

This dazzling light was actually Mao Nanbei’s Knife Intention.

Otherwise, a simple Knife Gang would not be so flashy.

The two Knife Gangs and Lu Xun’s Sword Qi met head-on in a flash.

Lu Xun faced both at once!

After this wild Sword Qi was released, Lu Xun knew it well: “This sword can only go out, not be retracted!”

Just as he speculated, “One Sword” had no room to turn after it was released.

A sword that doesn’t give himself any leeway, how could it possibly leave any for the opponent?

“Boom——!”

The violent airflow spread out in all directions, the Second Senior Sister waved her sleeves, generating a gentle force that covered the entire battlefield.

If she hadn’t done so, the nearby bamboos would have been destroyed, possibly annihilated completely by this force!

Inside the bamboo forest, dust rose from the ground, making it impossible to see clearly inside.

When the dust settled, Mao Nanbei looked at Lu Xun with a face full of disbelief.

She actually blocked this Sword Qi.

But her defense was rather forced.

Mao Nanbei had to step back three steps.

However, Lu Xun was different, he remained unyielding.

Thanks to him being the attacker, Mao Nanbei was forced to be the defender.

The fierce airflow aftershocks were all directed toward her, none towards Lu Xun.

Because the power of Mao Nanbei’s two strikes, not to mention the aftershocks, were completely shattered by “One Sword”!

Otherwise, the severely exhausted Lu Xun might have been blown away!

Seeing the situation, the Second Senior Sister spoke impartially: “Little… Little Junior Brother wins.”

Mao Nanbei almost dropped her two knives, she looked up at the sky with a face of dismay.

She couldn’t believe she lost like this!

At this moment, Lu Xun’s body was recovering quickly, but his condition was indeed miserable, he didn’t have much strength left.

When he thrust that sword, the physical strength was also drained out.

But fortunately… I won in the end!

Lu Xun looked at Mao Nanbei, and thinking about the bet, he managed a grin on his pale face, saying to himself:

“Hehe! Little Kitty～”
