Techniques fights are more like mind games

Xiu Han was standing near the orange lantern looking at the bloody scene, he didn't want to come out in this cold forest, after all, everything he said to those two disciples from the Blossom Lotus Evil sect was pure lies, their Young Master was a cruel man, he would just kill every woman he tastes without even blinking.

At first, he thought the skinny assassin was just a weakling trying to play a hero, he had shot throwing knives at them but his movements were noticed, it looked like a clumsy assassin, but he was wrong, the knives are just shining baits, the true attack was the cutlasses flying in a high arc at their heads.

After the cutlasses fell at two of his brothers, it killed one and crippled the other, making him a single-arm man, but then something even more incredible happened, the skinny assassin made a fast chain thrust at his crippled brother, it was like a stitcher.

"FWOSH" Shi sword thrust at high speed at the crippled young man, the young man was in pain and couldn't react in time his eye, throat, chest and right shoulder were pierced, his body fell like he was boneless on the floor.

"That was really good and clever, with some great creativity, using a qi-gong meant to be used as a movement technique, sending him to your sword to let it light like a feather and then using the tip as the main attack" Long Shin voice sounded giving the boy a big compliment.

Feeling satisfied at the compliment, Shi gave a big smile and using the light spirit steps he shot at the near enemy.

"CLANG" the two swords banged together, but this time Shi wasn't using strength but techniques to fight against his enemies, so the guy sword wasn't destroyed.

"You're getting really close, you have to let some space between you two, to take a good look at his movements and stances, technique it's about countering other people's movements and not letting them catch yours" Long Shin didn't forget to teach Shi in the middle of the fight.

"Imagine his stance and swordplay are like a 'completed painting' and you need to improve it every time you notice a flaw, give a stroke with your 'brush', well I couldn't put in simple words, but I guess you can do it!"

Shi stepped backward, giving his enemy more distance, however, he was fighting two enemies this time, one of them started to say "Boy do you know what you are doing? you meddling in the Evil Cloud sect Business, I am Zhong Yong one of the Storm Clouds"

"Don't listen to his nonsense Zhong Yong is a sinister bald that only knows how to use other people's strength" a juicy voice permeates the forest.

The liar's face becomes red and he shouts back at the woman "SHUT UP YOU FUCKING WHORE, AFTER WE CAPTURE YOU I GOING TO TAKE A BIG PART OF YOUR TOFU"

Casting a glance at the man's face Shi looked deep in his eyes then said "You really a great liar, even your eyes didn't change, but sadly for you, I already fought against Zhong Yong".

The liar's face became pale as he gulped "If this guy fought against Senior Yong and is alive this is bad" he thought in his heart.

But Shi didn't give them any chance this time his stance wasn't a high one but he was putting his sword in front of his body and his left hand behind his back, his left hand was still invalid to fight.

His right hand wasn't holding the sword too tight, it was more a soft grip letting the sword swing in his hand, he would use in this way to make more swiftly and sophisticated movements with it.

"Do you know why the sword in everyone's hands is wide but had a thin tip? this is because normally those swords are made to thrust first and only in second option slash and cutting." Long Shin started to teach Shi about swords

"Oh? Is there some sword that cuts and slashes are the first options?" asked Shi using his new technique in a wide manner as he fought against those two core disciples.

"Yes, there is a sword named 'Katana' it only had one side with edge it has a slight curve like wan jian dao and changdao but isn't a saber, but a sword, there is a lot of types of weapons in this universe, so it's better for you to learn how to counter any common type" Long Shin answered

Hearing his father's words Shi put them on the back of his mind and started to focus on the fight, he was fighting in a cone, having to fight two peoples at the same time wasn't uncommon to him, but still hard enough, after all, one mistake and he was dead.

Thanks to the new stance he was using he could have some space to think and see the opponent's movements, so every time one was going to attack he could decide what type of movement he would do, it looked more like a mind game than a fight.

He knew every second he was lost here Cuifen could die, and now he knew someone from 'Storm clouds' was looking for Yue, he needed to kill those guys, so he jumped back and hid behind a giant tree leaving the two guys alone.

Running through the forest he would shoot throwing weapons at the two guys making their movement slower, he started to compare their spirit energy to decide who he's going to kill first.

He stopped running and shot himself at the liar one, he took a stone shield from his ring, carrying it with his left arm. The shield looked like a turtle shell made of stone, it had scales sculpted in his front, on his back it had a layer of iron and a wood handle when he got near the target he put his spirit qi on the shield. It started to shine on an ocean blue light.

Feeling the danger coming from that turtle shield the liar wanted to get away, but Shi footwork was way faster than his, he was in his front in a blink of eyes, this time Shi throwed a small cutlass to maintain his other enemy occupied.

Shi didn't look at the other man, a "CRACK" noise was heard when he got in contact with the liar weapon, Shi was using his arm to hold the shield and not the hand, but anyway his hand still got hurt making him furrow his brow.

"SHATTER" the sound of ice breaking was heard followed by a "BANG" as Shi used his left arm to give the shield a push. Not sparing this man a glance he put the shield on his ring and shot a chain thrust at the other core disciple.

"PSHH!" Shi gave at least four thrust a breath leaving the man with dozens of holes, but sadly not a single deadly one.

This core disciple jumped backward in fear of Shi's thrusts and gave Shi the time to glance at the other one. What he saw was a stiff frozen body with a lot of cracks, when Shi got near the young man also used his spirit to hit Shi who was imputing his spirit on the shield, giving the chance of the real strength of the shield show itself.

Using his light spirit steps Shi got a melee distance from the stiff man and with his sword he pierced its throat leaving only one enemy alive. Who Shi didn't give any time, he knew that the most important thing in a group fighting was tempo. He could break their charge with his thrust because of it, them follow him was only because of the number advantage.

Now seeing his brothers dead the last man wanted to run, but sadly for him Shi was already at his back slashing his sword at him, this time with his full strength, the scared man didn't have any chance and was cloven by Shi sword.

Shi stepped on the floor and shot to the part where the juice voice woman was fighting, he could still hear the clanging noise made by the weapons.

When Shi got there he saw two women fighting two guys, he already saw the men so he took a good look at the woman, the one who got his attention was holding a sword and a scabbard in her hands, she had the typical oval face, she wasn't tall but her spine was straight giving her a taller impression, her black hair was knotted by a high ponytail the hair would brush the air.

She had phoenix eyes who looked smaller because of its corners being high, her mouth had the full bottom lip and it was wearing a smirk giving her a confident feeling, she had a small nose pointed forward.

Shi didn't know if she was the owner of the juicy voice, but he wanted so badly that it was her because the other woman was way too bland.

He shouted at them "Hey juice gorilla, do you need any help?"

The ponytailed woman stepped back and turned his face to him, she gave him a bright smile and said with her juicy voice "It's fine, this trash we can handle, I don't know why you helped us, but you have my gratitude when you have time come to visit us at the sect." Finishing it she gave him a slight bow, giving Shi a chance to see her deep valley, then she straightened her back again and gave a blink with her left eye and a big smile.

Giving Shi a big reason to smile, not only she was the owner of the juicy voice he wanted to see, but she was also a beauty, sadly it was no time for it, so he gave her a nod and said "I am going to search for that hot gorilla! Good Lucky, and don't die!".
