In contrast, Ye Xuan remained unscathed.
If there was anything to note, it would be the ordinary wooden stick in Ye Xuan’s hand, which also showed many damages.
That’s all there was to it!
You have to understand, this was just an ordinary thin wooden stick, and tonight, the one it faced was a katana made of tungsten steel!
"I am out of options."
In the dead silence, Chiba Sakurako closed her eyes gloomily, without regret: "Losing to you, I concede wholeheartedly. Whether you want to torture before killing or give a quick death, do as you wish!"
"Torture before killing?" Ye Xuan was taken aback by her words, then couldn’t help but laugh: "Those words really give one sothing to think about."
Chiba Sakurako frowned slightly, gritting her teeth tightly, but said nothing.
Ye Xuan looked at Chiba Sakurako with interest, then sighed and casually tossed aside the wooden stick in his hand.
Chiba Sakurako was shocked at the sight: "You’re not going to kill ?"
"Did I ever say I was going to kill you?" Ye Xuan smiled and said: "From beginning to end, it’s just you talking to yourself. The idea of deciding victory or defeat and life or death is your idea, it has nothing to do with ."
Chiba Sakurako tugged at the corner of her mouth stubbornly: "But I also said, if you don’t kill , I’ll surely kill you. Aren’t you afraid I’ll suddenly stab you in the back after you’ve thrown your weapon?"
Ye Xuan shook his head: "Not afraid."
"Not afraid?"
Chiba Sakurako was montarily stunned, suddenly feeling a sense of being recognized. Was this guy trying to say he believed in her integrity and pride?
Ye Xuan continued: "I picked up the wooden stick out of respect for you, not because I actually needed it. The difference in strength between us is so vast that even without a weapon, your trying to kill is just a fantasy."
Chiba Sakurako: "..."
What a painful realization, how piercing!
This feeling of falling from heaven to hell is simply unbearable!
Suddenly, Chiba Sakurako’s gaze at Ye Xuan beca sharp again. She really wanted to fight to prove herself, but... her strength wouldn’t allow it!
This guy is simply a monster. Even if she tried countless more tis, the outco would never change!
How do you know the result without trying?
Ridiculous.
When the difference in strength between two people reaches a certain level, luck doesn’t matter!
Chiba Sakurako gritted her teeth tightly and asked somberly: "So you don’t kill because you see as no threat whatsoever?"
"Not really," Ye Xuan shrugged: "I’ve also killed many who posed no threat to . Not killing you is simply because we have no personal vendetta. I only kill enemies and foes."
Thinking it over, Ye Xuan added: "Of course, if you were ugly, that would be another story."
Chiba Sakurako: "..."
First ti hearing that looks can determine life and death, Ye Xuan, you’re truly a weirdo!
After pondering for a mont, Chiba Sakurako said again: "If you don’t kill today, as long as you live, I will definitely challenge you again in the future. You should think it over."
"As you wish." Ye Xuan spread his hands indifferently.
Chiba Sakurako gave Ye Xuan a deep look. Being decisive, she didn’t linger on words and turned to head back towards the city.
After walking a few steps, she stopped again.
Ye Xuan obediently watched Chiba Sakurako.
Chiba Sakurako pressed her lips and said in a deep voice: "Ye Xuan, regardless of the outco of your duel with my father tomorrow, my life already belongs to you. If one day you want it, just say the word!"
With that, Chiba Sakurako walked away gracefully.
Never looking back.
Watching her proud and desolate back, Ye Xuan was montarily lost in thought until her figure completely disappeared into the darkness. Only then did he snap out of it and smile helplessly.
Like father, like daughter.
Chiba Fudai’s life was a glorious legend. Proud, aloof, competitive, with integrity, his daughter is the sa.
Ye Xuan knew Chiba Sakurako would keep her word.
Today he did not kill her; in the future, she will certainly challenge him again. Though the future challenge will be about victory and defeat, not life and death.
Ye Xuan also believed Chiba Sakurako no longer considered her life her own. If Ye Xuan asked, she would truly offer her head without hesitation.
Truly a heroine of her generation!
"Human hearts are really curious; so are treacherous without limits, while others are honorable and forthright."
Ye Xuan laughed a bitter laugh but didn’t think more about it, shook his head, and was about to head ho.
But at that mont.
"Hahaha!"
A burst of rampant laughter ca from nowhere.
"Ye Xuan, brother, watch out!"
After the laughter, ca a thunderous rough voice.
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed as he suddenly felt a piercing cold wind from behind. As he quickly turned around, he saw a rough and massive fist, carrying imnse force, rushing toward his face.
Ye Xuan remained calm, lifted his large hand seemingly slowly yet swiftly, and lightly tapped the wrist behind the fist, directly changing the fist’s trajectory.
The sharp fist brushed past.
At the sa ti, Ye Xuan suddenly moved forward, using his shoulder as a weapon, delivering a formidable blow onto the visitor’s solid chest.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed, and the sudden massive figure staggered backward repeatedly, taking dozens of steps before barely stabilizing.
"Ah, dammit! That hurts like hell!" At the sa ti, a grumbling voice echoed.
Ye Xuan looked up and saw a tall middle-aged man in a long robe, with disheveled long hair and a large beard covering most of his face, making his features indistinguishable yet full of character.
Soone so distinctive, not many exist in the entire Martial Arts world.
Who else could it be but Baili Xiao from Heroic Mountain?
"Greetings, Senior Baili."
Ye Xuan slightly bowed and said with a smile.
"What senior nonsense? In Martial Arts, strength determines rank, not age. If we’re being formal, I should be calling you senior!"
Baili Xiao laughed heartily: "Speaking of which, since Ye Xuan, brother, corrected my Lion Tiger Fist last ti, my strength has truly progressed rapidly lately!"
"Really?" Ye Xuan smiled: "Doesn’t really show."
"Doesn’t show?" Baili Xiao’s smile faded, and he pouted, feeling aggrieved: "Why are you so discouraging!"
Ye Xuan shrugged without comnting further. Saying it didn’t show was untrue, but Baili Xiao’s so-called rapid progress truly wasn’t much to Ye Xuan.
It’s not that the difference between the two was too great, but rather that Ye Xuan’s speed of progress was even more terrifying.
The world is just so unfair.
So people train arduously day and night, and after decades, they’re still just average, while others need only maintain two hours of morning exercise daily, play so gas, browse WeiShen’s late-night WeChat posts, and occasionally help beauties across the street, and they can grow faster than any genius.
It’s like having a multi-million dollar luxury car; so are born able to buy it with ease, while others toil their whole life, unable to afford even a tire...
