Chapter 43: This Little Injury Won't Affect Your Interest Tonight!

Ye Xi placed his left hand behind his back, standing confidently.

Hearing Ye Xi's words, Jeht's eyes were filled with astonishment, yet also excitement.

She could sense the hidden arrogance in the man before her.

It was a strong self-confidence and a kingly mindset.

She didn't dislike this kind of domineering attitude.

Dehya said angrily, "Why are you so confident right now? Jeht isn't weak; be careful or you'll get hurt!"

Although Jeht didn't have the Vision, she was agile, and her twin blades were fast.

Even Dehya never underestimated Jeht.

She knew Ye Xi was stronger than she was, but using only one hand seemed overly confident!

After all, she didn't think Ye Xi could defeat Jeht with one hand alone!

"Master, go for it!"

Dunyarzad hid behind Dehya, cheering for Ye Xi.

Though, if Ye Xi won, there would be one more person to share his affection with, she didn't want to see him lose to someone else.

"Let's begin!"

Before the words finished, Jeht moved forward like a breeze.

Who would've thought that those slender legs could possess such explosive power?

The blade gleamed like lightning, aimed directly at Ye Xi's neck.

Jeht wanted to test Ye Xi; if he was weak, she would stop in time.

"Eye."

Ye Xi uttered a single word, catching everyone off guard.

In the next instant, Ye Xi dodged subtly, avoiding Jeht's twin blades.

Yet, the tip of his sword pointed directly at Jeht's face.

Jeht only noticed it when she turned, seeing the sharp point targeting her trigeminal nerve.

Had she moved an inch forward, she might have hit the sword's edge.

This close call made her break out in a cold sweat.

In a single moment, the victor was decided.

Jeht was stunned.

Dehya was even more shocked.

She knew Ye Xi was strong, but hadn't expected him to be this strong!

"What just happened? I couldn't see anything clearly!"

Dunyarzad was even more confused upon hearing this.

Even Dehya questioned it, leaving Dunyarzad equally puzzled.

"Khaenri'ah's royal swordsmanship."

Ye Xi wielded the sword with memories that were nearly forgotten. After a simple try, he sighed, "Swordsmanship that's been sealed for over 500 years… does it still have its power today..."

In fact, this sword technique was one of his weakest methods.

Electromagnetic cannon or black flame – either could be a one-hit knockout.

Jeht suddenly retreated, only to charge forward again.

"Still not giving up?"

"Shoulder."

Ye Xi took half a step back, dodging the twin blade slash, then drew his sword once more.

The sword stopped precisely at Jeht's shoulder.

If she moved forward, it would pierce her shoulder blade.

"So strong! Ye Xi is predicting exactly where he'll attack!"

Dehya understood, unable to contain her amazement. "This level of precision shows that Ye Xi's strength is no small matter!"

Battle situations change quickly, and predicting where to strike is no easy feat.

When Dehya fought, she relied on spotting temporary openings.

Wherever her opponent's defense was lacking, she would attack there. That was experience.

For Ye Xi, it was beyond mere experience.

Jeht retreated again, then charged forward once more.

"Leg."

After evading the twin-blade attack, Jeht attempted to use her arms and legs.

But upon hearing Ye Xi's voice, she realized his sword was already guarding her lower body.

So, she quickly changed her attack.

Ding--

There was a clear sound as the swords met.

Ye Xi was a bit surprised; he realized that Jeht was actually learning.

"Using my hints, then defending and counterattacking?"

From Dehya and Dunyarzad's perspective, Ye Xi hardly moved, yet he accurately avoided all of Jeht's attacks.

It was as if he knew what Jeht was thinking.

Almost like a father teaching his daughter to practice swordsmanship.

In truth, this was all due to his powerful [Physical Strengthening] and [Spiritual Power].

The improvement in these two attributes granted Ye Xi sharp reflexes and judgment.

Suddenly, his sword tip was near Jeht's delicate collarbone, and both stopped once again.

"That's enough."

"I don't make a habit of spoiling desserts."

Ye Xi was slightly annoyed.

They couldn't keep fighting endlessly, could they?

"One last time!"

Jeht's eyes were filled with determination; she wasn't satisfied!

How could Ye Xi beat her with one hand?

He was even telling her where to attack!

How could he be so strong?

"Don't push my patience."

Seeing Jeht advancing again, Ye Xi murmured, "Stomach."

In an instant, Ye Xi dodged three twin-blade strikes in succession and blocked two swift thrusts with his sword.

Then, his sword pointed straight at Jeht's slender stomach.

He thought it was over.

Yet, unexpectedly, Jeht didn't stop this time.

Instead, she swung her blade against the edge of his sword.

This sight shocked Dehya and Dunyarzad.

However, Ye Xi slightly tilted his head, dodging the strike.

Even so, Ye Xi could sense that Jeht had deliberately altered her aim.

It seemed she was worried this desperate attack would actually injure him.

In reality, that concern was unnecessary.

Even if Jeht made a fatal attack, he wouldn't be hit.

Only...

The sword's blade sank into Jeht's lower abdomen, and blood slid down the blade, dripping onto the ground.

"Jeht! Are you crazy!"

Dehya rushed to Jeht's side and pressed on the wound.

If it wasn't treated in time, she would lose too much blood and die!

This scene genuinely surprised Ye Xi.

This woman was too stubborn.

Continuing to attack, even when injured, was madness.

If he hadn't held back, the sword's edge would've pierced right through Jeht's slender body.

In just a few seconds, Jeht's face lost all its color.

"Master Ye Xi, I've lost."

As if due to the pain, Jeht bit her lip tightly.

Noticing Ye Xi's slight frown, she quickly explained, "Don't worry, this little injury won't affect your interest tonight."

She did think it would hurt, but hadn't expected it to hurt so much.

It was painful, yet she felt more joy in her heart.

Because Ye Xi was truly strong!

So strong that she couldn't help but surrender in her heart, wanting to bring new life for Ye Xi!

She couldn't wait any longer.

"Jeht, you're far too impulsive. Why did you do this?"

Dehya was deeply worried, as the blood showed no signs of stopping.

In this condition, she would need to rest for days. Not only could she not do such a thing, she wouldn't even be able to walk!

Forcing it would be disastrous!

Ye Xi looked into Jeht's eyes and said in a serious tone, "Jeht, I have clearly seen your determination."

"But in the future, don't be so reckless again."

With that, he pulled out his sword and casually placed it in the ground.

"Ouch…"

Jeht groaned in pain.

When the sword was withdrawn, blood immediately poured out.

"Hey, you shouldn't have pulled it out! It could kill her!"

Dehya panicked and quickly covered the wound with her hands, but the bleeding wouldn't stop.

Jeht remained silent, feeling as though Ye Xi's eyes penetrated her soul.

"Leave it to me."

Ye Xi took Jeht's delicate body from Dehya's arms and placed his hand over the wound.

*[Primary Healing]*

A soft green glow enveloped the wound.

What happened next left Dehya and Jeht speechless...
