Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy TranslationAlthough Ling Yichen grumbled in his heart, he still slung the backpack down resignedly before deftly unsheathing his sword and attacking the five older students with lightning-quick reflexes. Though his opponents were his seniors, there wasn’t even a hint of fear upon Ling Yichen’s face. Clearly, Ling Yichen didn’t even deem these five individuals worthy of his acknowledgement.
Ling Yichen’s gaze was razor-sharp as he circulated his Battle Qi. With white light emitting from his sword, he rushed swiftly towards the leader of the group—the scar-faced archer who had aimed his arrow at Ling Chuxi. Scarface had made the assumption that Ling Chuxi was simply a tag-along, a weakling Ling Yichen wanted to protect—the weak link in their group of two. Ling Yichen could tell what scar-face thought, so once he drew his sword, he attacked him first.
Scar-face’s face sank and unease rose in his heart. He could sense Ling Yichen’s level of cultivation wasn’t something he could withstand. One could even say, it wasn’t something all five of them could withstand. Therefore, it was essential to catch hold of this fair-faced pretty boy’s weakness! They were a little unlucky today, weren’t they? They had kicked a “metal piece” by accident, but fortunately, he had brought along a “soft bunny” with him. This made things easier for the five of them to handle!
Scar-face shot the arrow he had been nocking in his bow, the one aimed at Ling Chuxi’s face. Although he felt it was a pity that such a beautiful maiden would be disfigured by his arrow, he was a person who didn’t covet beauties but loved wealth the most! This was why he didn’t even hesitate to fire that arrow at Ling Chuxi.
However, he soon realized that his assumptions were wrong. Ling Chuxi was no weakling. Nor was she a tag-along or the weak link within the duo she formed with Ling Yichen!
The arrow whistled sharply as it sailed through the sky towards Ling Chuxi’s face. With great speed, Ling Yichen slashed through the arrow with a backhanded swipe of his sword, but Ling Chuxi moved even faster!
In only the blink of an eye, Ling Chuxi’s cold and beautiful face had appeared right before them!
There was a loud crack as the arrow was split into two by Ling Yichen’s slash and it fell to the ground harmlessly in pieces. But before this, Ling Chuxi had already moved to stand before scar-face and knocked him far and away with the back of her sword. In that split second, a glint of light flashed as quickly as lightning—the unsheathed blade of Ling Chuxi’s sword. Before any of the remaining four had time to figure out what happened, they too were knocked into the air and flew off into the distance in motions that made it look as though they were free and happy.
Once all five of them were sprawled on the ground half dead, feelings of terror and gratitude came to them at the same time! They were terrified at having encountered a strong cultivator, one who was a lot stronger than they were. But, they also felt lucky that such a strong opponent only used Battle Qi and the back of a sword to attack them! If it were any other way, they would not have fallen to the ground in one piece like this, but in two halves!
Who was this maiden exactly? How could she be so strong? What level had her Battle Qi reached? Level 5? Or had it reached an even more terrifying height—Level 6? And to think that they thought she was a “soft bunny”! Never did it occur to them that she was the real “metal piece”!
“How weak! This doesn’t let me gain any real combat experience at all!” barked Ling Chuxi as she walked towards scar-face in disappointment and placed her foot upon his face. She was very upset. Ling Chuxi knew she was not considered weak, but she did feel she lacked in experience when it came to circulating her Battle Qi during active combat. When she saw that these five wanted to rob her, she was secretly delighted at the chance to gain combat experience with her Battle Qi. However, she didn’t expect the battle to end with an instant kill!
Scar-face was almost about to cry. Things shouldn’t have ended up this way! Being beaten up, having one’s face stepped on and being spoken to with such insulting words. And what blunt insults they were too! It was too wounding on one’s self-esteem.
