Everlasting Sword God - Chapter 11 - Three Moves
Shen Baihe clenched his fist under the pressure of Shen Zhenyi's aura.
Quietly walking onto the stage, he picked up Zhou Wenzi's sword and returned it to him. At the same time, he whispered in his ear, "Brother Zhou, my third brother is still crippled."
Zhou Wenzi received a jolt, waking up from his nightmare.
There wasn't a martial artist alive who dared to disobey the Third Prince.
But although they respected him, there wasn't a genius in existence who didn't hate his guts.
People look up to their superiors so that they have a goal to reach.
Unfortunately, living in the same era as Shen Zhenyi meant there was a mountain that could never be conquered.
But now the mountain had collapsed.
Zhou Wenzi stared at the Third Prince in his wheelchair. It's like a stone was lifted off his chest. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and laughed. "I thought Little Sister Chu had a good reason to be confident. It turns out that she was only relying on Shen Zhenyi."
"The Third Prince was once a legend. But now, he's just an invalid."
Zhou Wenzi had the nerve to denounce Shen Zhenyi. Although everyone knew of the Third Prince's fall from heaven, nobody dared to say it to his face.
Chu Huoluo furiously retorted. "The Third Prince could kill you a hundred times over with his pinky finger!! Those are just shallow words without any evidence. Get on the stage, and prepare to be decimated!"
Chu Huoluo was only a fifth realm cultivator. He was at the sixth realm. Each realm was a massive increase in strength.
Zhou Wenzi looked at her coldly. "By who, you? If I can't beat you within three moves, I'll admit defeat!"
The arena was silent. You could hear a pin drop. If Shen Zhenyi hadn't been there, the audience would have exploded into laughter at Huoluo's inadequacy.
However, Shen Zhenyi was present, so no one spoke a word. Although everyone knew Zhou Wenzi would obliterate Chu Huoluo, they couldn't summon the courage to laugh.
Shen Zhenyi calmly opened his mouth. "Alright, three moves."
Shen Baihe's heart tightened sharply. Did his Third Brother abandon his pride? Because he was no longer the best in the world, he didn't care about reputation anymore?
Shen Zhenyi would never have agreed to such a humiliating condition in the past. Even if it would let Chu Huoluo have a higher chance of winning.
Did his brother have a different mindset now? Shen Zhenyi's next words immediately reassured Shen Baihe.
"Three moves! If you haven't given up by then, she will admit defeat!"
The Third Prince was still the same prideful Third Prince.
If Shen Zhenyi had fought him in his prime, it wouldn't even take him three moves. One move was all that was needed. Even though Zhou Wenzi was older than the Third Prince, he wasn't even qualified to lick his boots.
But the person fighting wasn't Shen Zhenyi. It was Chu Huoluo!
Even if the Third Prince was OP asf, he had only been teaching Huoluo for three months. He was crippled too, so he couldn't even teach by example!
Zhou Wenzi cackled wildly. He walked onto the stage and prepared to fight.
"Uhm… Three moves? Are you sure I can do this?" Chu Huoluo nervously asked.
Shen Zhenyi didn't respond and just pointed at the stage, signaling for her to go up. Chu Huoluo could do nothing but let go of the wheelchair and step forward. She slowly walked onto the stage and glared at Zhou Wenzi. "You can say anything you want about me, but never badmouth the Third Prince. If you don't apologize, don't blame me for my rudeness!"
Zhou Wenzi sneered and responded, "Let's see your ability before you start talking big!"
He waved his hand lazily, motioning her to attack. He didn't even take her seriously.
Chu Huoluo bit her lip and looked towards Shen Zhenyi who was smiling at her persuasively. Then, she stomped her foot, and suddenly drew her sword, turning into a flash of light, directly aiming for Zhou Wenzi!
"How fast!"
Shen Baihe's pupil contracted sharply. How could this 15-year-old girl have such a fast sword?
There was also a shout of surprise from the stage. Zhou Wenzi was caught off guard in a storm of blades. He quickly tried to dodge and retreat but didn't see how he could avoid the incoming sword strokes.
Woosh!
Her strikes were as fast as bolts of lightning.
Chu Huoluo slashed through Zhou Wenzi's topknot, and his long hair scattered onto the floor.
"How is this possible?"
"She actually defeated Brother Zhou in a single move?!"
"Is she on steroids or something?"
Eyes red, the audience roared in disbelief.
Shen Baihe's hands turned cold. Looking at Shen Zhenyi's back in dismay, he felt something surging up in his chest, as if a poisonous snake was about to come out of his mouth and nose.
"This isn't over yet! I was too careless that time around! There's no way you can beat me in a sword fight! I'm a peak sixth realm cultivator!"
Zhou Wenzi roared and dashed towards Chu Huoluo recklessly. This kind of behavior was rather inappropriate for a person of his stature. If he lost, then he should have just admitted defeat and bowed.
Especially against such a young girl.
Feeling angry and humiliated at himself for recruiting such a foolish man, Shen Baihe hung his head. The expression on his face was stiff, and he held back the urge to vomit.
"Disgusting." Shen Zhenyi sighed. Zhou Wenzi was supposed to be one of the Four Top Cultivators in the Nine Hells. In Shen Zhenyi's eyes, this level of talent wasn't even that good. The fact that Zhou Wenzi could be called a Top Level Talent proved that the Nine Hells was really too remote.
"Give it your all and end this quickly," he instructed Chu Huoluo
"Okay!"
Chu Huoluo stood on the platform and watched as Zhou Wenzi sped towards. His mouth had turned into a sneer, refusing to acknowledge his defeat. Was such a person really First Place on the Mystique Rankings?
With the guidance of the Third Prince, I could go even farther!
"Not good!" someone exclaimed, "He's using a special attack from the Shangqing Palace! Ignoring his defense, he's gathering all of his True Qi and unleashing it in one strike! She can't withstand the full power of a sixth realm cultivator!"
With a sharp swoosh, Zhou Wenzi's sword slashed through the air.
Blue:
There's something that I think I should clear up. Chu Huoluo is 14 years old right now while Chu Zhu Xi should be around her late 15s and early 16s. I'm pretty sure the rules of the Liyang Mansion stated that they were supposed fight when one of them turned 16. Hope I'm not wrong, lol.
