It was such a fun to be taunted by this youth though. It's not because this youth was not threatening enough or something. It was just that, as to their height difference, the sight of this unruly yet cutely short disciple trying to intimidate a tall guy like Li Zian was a bit....no...it was not a bit....it was just....just too funny and amusing for Zhang Long Wei.
The demon who was looking forward to where this "manner" conversation would lead them to replied with that uncaring tone.
"It's okay that you want to teach me manners. But in my opinion, you're not that well-mannered too. How about we take turns to teach each other some manners?"
The youth snorted before unsheathing his lightening fury and said, "Just the fuck stop with your nonsense and come forward if you dare to confront me. You've got such skills in swordsmanship, right? Then come and duel with me. As a senior, I won't bully you with my superior cultivational power. Let's just use weapons."
The corner of his lips turned up before Zhang Long Wei also took his deathly ice blade out and charged forward, taking the initiative and marking the start of their fierce duel.
Wang Li Jie knew he was likely to be no equal of this pervert in swordsmanship. But still, who could tell? How would he be able to find out the outcome without even trying it out? And Wang Li Jie being such an overly confident nerd when it came to duels, simply chose to throw his rationality out of the window and have a fight with this pro.
Ear-splitting noises of swords striking each other reverberated against the forest. Lightening fury and deathly ice blade....none of them was to be underestimated and their owners being such pros in swordsmanship, the outcome was indeed too hard to predict.
Yeah.....Wang Li Jie was not an equal of this demon lord. But that's not to say he was average in his sword skills. Well...let's just call him average but this term was only applied to him only by his immortal father.
So, one could take a guess at how fierce this fight would be. Wang Li Jie had to admit he could barely counterattack this pervert. His moves swift and precise, his attacks as powerful as that of a cultivator at core formation stage... this kind of skills..... it was not something one could get without decades of sweats of blood. Just how come this guy was this powerful when he was only at the late foundation stage.
The youth might seem all fine on the surface but in fact, he was also having a hard time. His body was now being excessively sensitive to external attacks. Not to mention, it was already too late to stop this duel. He was the one who brought himself to it. But the youth himself right now had no second thoughts to retreat either because....this pervert....he had such skills even Wang Li Jie could not achieve. And this point really annoyed him so much like hell.
Feeling envious, the youth started using intense moves towards the junior. Everytime that lightening fury made contact with his deathly ice blade, Zhang Long Wei just felt like he had just been struck by lightening. The demon had no idea whether it was because of this weak body of Li Zian or the lightening fury belonging such a formidable power. But one thing was for sure. The power of lightening fury was not something to be underestimated.
His thoughts were wondering everywhere, inwardly praising the power of his disciple's sword when the youth made an unexpected move by using the special attack "thousand lightening strikes. "
The surprised Zhang Long Wei knew he had no time to leap up and avoid it with his low cultivation which meant he was left with little choice but to break the youth's rule of "using only weapons". Swiftly getting on his knees and striking the cold solid earth with his left palm using some inner force, the demon formed a crystal ice shield around himself just in one move.
This shield was the very utmost he could do in this damn useless body of a teenager. Despite it being a bit of a weak move, this was still enough to protect himself. Thank god....ice being such a poor conductor of electricity otherwise the only result this demon could end up with would be no other than himself transforming into a charcoal human.
Only some strikes made through this barrier and the demon got lucky without getting any serious injuries. But it was a different case for those poor bamboo plants behind the demon. Those stems which had been part of this majestic forest for centuries were turned into complete ashes just in a second by this youth.
And the reaction of Wang Li Jie? As soon as the sight of those damaged stems of bamboos came into his view, that poor soul instantly made a dash for them, passing by the side of baffled Zhang Long Wei. This youth seemed to have forgotten that he was still in the middle of a duel as he took a handful of bamboo ashes and muttered anxiously.
"No....no...no...no. This can't be happening....no..... Dad's gonna kill me. Ah.....what do I do now? No...oh gosh, please, can you guys please transform into your original state?
Please, please.....transform...transform.....hey, I said transform. Why are you still in this state? Aren't you the children of this legendary forest? Come on!"
Folding his arms, the demon watched the youth, whose brain seemed to have stopped functioning just because of this trivial damage, talking to the ashes in the middle of day light. This youth was really afraid of his immortal father, huh?
Zhang Long Wei took a step forward and was about to put some sense of reality into the youth's head when something unexpected happened all of a sudden. All the destroyed bamboo plants around were restored into its original state....well, how to describe this. It was not just as good as new. Even the green hue of them got more vivid, standing out even more than any other undamaged ones.
Gazing at this unbelievable magic of the bamboo forest, Zhang Long Wei snorted before making a comment.
"What a shame.....they should have been dead completely. I was expecting a good show."
The youth who was heaving a sigh as those tons of worries in his chest had reduced just a moment ago now got furious again. Because of this brat, Wang Li Jie almost got himself into some serious problems.
It was such a relief that no damage happen at the end. But this guy.....instead of feeling guilty or whatsoever, he said what? He was expecting a good show? Did that mean he was expecting to see him getting scolded or reprimanded by his father? Okay, this brat had gone overboard this time.
The demon was inspecting the newly reborn stems of bamboo with some suspicions when he felt an intense power coming from behind. And guess what he saw as he turned back? There were two white spheres of lightening gathering in those hands of the youth and that was when the demon realized he had just aroused this youth's anger to its peak.
The fierce battle began once again with the youth using all of his powers, not caring about his "only weapons" rule. This brat had already broken the rule which meant it didn't count as unfair even if he used his powers. The youth might have got a lot fiercer with his attacks, But this time, Wang Li Jie had become especially cautious not to ruin even a single bamboo plant.
The noon had already passed and by now, they must have already missed their lunch time. But the duo could care less about it with one finding joy in engaging a battle with the youth here and another who wished nothing but to vent out his anger right away at this instant.
The two were too engrossed in their own battle that they failed to notice suspicious movements around. Those leaves of the newly reborn bamboo plants were moving. Yeah...the breeze was blowing but just from one glance alone, one could tell that they were not dancing to the breeze. Those leaves were struggling to come forward and grow out as though they also wanted to join this seemingly interesting battle.
Today was the day when that eerily evil power was awakened in this youth's body even without his own knowledge. And the identity of that menacing power would be left as a mystery up until a certain day when all the truths got exposed to the whole world.
