Chapter 21: Battle With The Angel
Gu Yi didn't expect Qian Renxue to use her fifth spirit skill right from the start. Seeing the divine power on the sword, Gu Yi instinctively knew that he couldn't afford to be hit by it, or else it would definitely end badly.
Gu Yi could see that she was serious about wanting to fight, which made him take it a bit more seriously too. After absorbing the spirit ring just now, Gu Yi could feel that his spirit power had reached level 43. One could only say that the amplification brought by the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was immense.
Suddenly, Gu Yi had a very good idea. This arrogant woman had never been struck before, so why not let her experience his's sword skills? However, Gu Yi didn't take out the blood sword from before, as that sword would only be drawn when it was time to kill.
Qian Renxue, he didn't want to kill, nor could he. Since he wanted to teach this arrogant woman a lesson, Gu Yi suddenly smiled. Between the surge of spirit power, a branch fell into his hand.
"Come on, let me see the strength of the Martial Spirit Hall's descendant." Gu Yi looked up at Qian Renxue in the sky, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't have an ability to fly. Gu Yi didn't know how much of an insult this initiative was to this woman who had been hailed as a genius since childhood. Using a stick against her was indeed quite disrespectful.
Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes narrowed, and her wings flapped behind her as she swiftly approached Gu Yi. The holy sword in her hand had already been raised. Her fifth spirit skill was to condense a sacred sword made of holy fire, which could also enhance the purification ability of her Angelic Martial Spirit by 300 percent. As long as she landed a hit with the sword, it would not only greatly erode spirit power but also cause greater damage than ordinary weapons.
Qian Renxue was very satisfied with this spirit skill; it was simply perfect for her. Although she didn't possess a sword martial spirit, she was very proficient in swordsmanship from a young age. Her swordsmanship was quite good.
Gu Yi's spiritual perception was already outstanding, and coupled with his already perfected Lingbo Weibu, her sword strike was destined to miss. As Qian Renxue landed on the ground, Gu Yi decisively swung the branch and struck her waist. Qian Renxue, unlike spirit masters who roamed outside, had very little combat experience, even though she had these two Titled Douluo by her side, she was still lacking in experience. But Gu Yi had experienced many life-and-death battles, and his mastery of his body had reached an astonishing level.
Qian Renxue was stunned by this sudden strike; she hadn't expected to fall into a disadvantage just after their exchange. If Gu Yi had used a real sword instead of a branch just now, wouldn't she have lost, or even... died!
Just kidding, if Gu Yi had used a sword just now. Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo would have already killed Gu Yi.
Although Qian Renxue lacked combat experience, her learning ability was very strong. After a few rounds, she had only been struck five or six times. But that was still a glorious record. Qian Renxue finally realized that just competing like this, she was completely not Gu Yi's match. This damned guy didn't hold back at all and really went all out with his strikes.
"Snake Lance, are we just going to watch the young master get beaten by this kid?" Porcupinefish Douluo's face didn't look too good. If it wasn't for the young master's order... After taking a blow, Qian Renxue returned to the sky again. Only then did she feel a little safer. The elusive branches really made her a little scared; she would be hit if she loss focus for even a second.
"Are you finished? If so then I'll leave." Gu Yi shouted at Qian Renxue who had risen into the sky. The feeling just now was really quite enjoyable. Decided, from now on, he would teach Tang San and the others this trick too. Gu Yi finally understood what it meant to "teach".
"Finished? You wish," Qian Renxue angrily shouted, "If I can't win with my agility and swordsmanship, then let's see whose martial spirit and spirit power is stronger." Her second spirit skill: Angelic Descent. It could enhance all attributes by one hundred percent and increase the purification and eroding ability of the angelic marital spirit by one hundred percent. Qian Renxue emitted a large amount of light.
"You bastard, prepare to die," Qian Renxue's first spirit ring also lit up. It condensed angelic spirit power into her fist, forming a golden light shield during attacks, combining offense and defense, and had a certain eroding effect on spirit power. The spirit power brought by ordinary martial spirits could be mostly eroded with just one touch. That's how overbearing the Seraphim Martial Spirit was.
Gu Yi didn't mind Qian Renxue's murderous intent. To only rigidly use spirit skills, such an excellent angelic spirit power without flexibility, was really a waste. Gu Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Qian Renxue, however, thought Gu Yi was looking down on her, so she shook her body, making the light on her even brighter. Gu Yi let go of the branch in his hand and made a gesture that was familiar to everyone in the previous life.
"Porcupine, did you notice? This kid hasn't used any spirit skills until now" Snake Lance said.
Porcupinefish also realized this, "How is this possible? He can fight the young master to this extent without using any spirit skills!"
"And have you noticed what his martial spirit is?" Snake Lance added. This kid brought him too many surprises.
"Could it be a rare but not powerful human martial spirit?" Porcupinefish looked at the young man who was using strange movements to match the young master's strength. He couldn't believe that someone could cultivate a human martial spirit to this extent. The term "human martial spirit" was only reintroduced after ten thousand years. But it didn't mean it didn't exist before. It's just that powerful spirit masters with true human martial spirits had not yet appeared, nor had there been a second awakening, so only a very few people knew about it.
"He's definitely not simple," Snake Lance said deeply, looking at Gu Yi, but he found that Gu Yi also glanced at him at this moment. This kid was quite sensitive.
Qian Renxue realized that her eroding ability didn't have much effect. It seemed that Gu Yi's level of spirit power wasn't lower than hers.
"You'll lose if you daydream in battle," Gu Yi's voice came from beside her. Qian Renxue was startled and quickly retreated. But she still felt like she was hit. Qian Renxue thoroughly understood that she was definitely not this man's opponent. Using means she couldn't understand, he had neutralized all her attacks.
"Was that your own self-created spirit skill?" Qian Renxue put away her martial spirit and stood in front of Gu Yi. Seeing Qian Renxue admitting defeat, Gu Yi also retracted his spirit power. When he neutralized Qian Renxue's spirit power just now, he felt that his own spirit power had been eroded quite a bit.
The Seraphim Martial Spirit was indeed powerful.
"Kind of. Can I go now?" Gu Yi smiled. Qian Renxue didn't go back on her word, the Seraphim Martial Spirit wouldn't allow her to do so.
"Why let him go, young master. This kid must have many secrets. If he doesn't join our Martial Spirit Hall, it may be dangerous," Snake Lance said as he watched Gu Yi's departing figure. It seemed like another Tang Hao had appeared.
"Who said anything about letting him go? Investigate immediately after returning. I want to know everything about him from now on," Qian Renxue smiled, thinking that how could she let him leave so easily. It was wishful thinking. Feeling a strange sensation below her waist, Qian Renxue's face turned slightly red. It was the first time she had been hit like this.
