Chapter 347: Defend Well, Senior Sister
"What the hell is this even?" as she watches two figures clashed with unparalleled might, a valiant-looking blond beauty couldn't help but mutter to herself while she wonders whether she will reach such level of power, her fist clenching in excitement as she starts looking forward to cultivating even more because of this show.
"They're monsters, most cultivators of their level couldn't even reach a miniscule fraction of the things they are currently showing…" replying to the valiant-looking beauty, an empress-like beauty said as she observes the battle going between her beloved and another lady with her arms crossed, her eyes moving in a relaxed motion showing how she can still catch the movements of these two with relative ease.
"Brother Tian is still holding back, you can see…" jumping in on the conversation of the two, another beauty, with a maidenly bearing, said as she points towards the battle between her lover, the same young man as the empress-like beauty's lover, then pointing towards the scholarly beauty fighting him before continuing her explanations.
"He's still effortlessly blocking Sister Xuanyuan's attacks… while, well, she's already showing hint of tiredness on her face…" the maidenly beauty points out causing the valiant-looking beauty to focus on the more micro details of the fight currently going on despite her eyes barely keeping up with their movements, in this observation of hers allowing her to see the beads of sweat on the forehead of the scholarly beauty gradually losing accuracy, precision and strength with each slash of her sword, meanwhile the young man is still peacefully parrying each and every single one of her strikes.
While it does looks like that the empress-like beauty and the maidenly beauty admires the one fighting with their lover for her power that seems to be out of their reach, they are really confident of dealing with her now on the condition that they fight under the same realm, especially given the experience of rebirth they had, something that not even one in countless cultivators can experience even once in their entire life time.
Of course, even without undergoing rebirth through the help of the Trinity Cleansing Fruit, the empress-like beauty, Hua Xian'er, and her long-sworn sister, Hong Lian, the maidenly beauty of the group, they are still fairly confident of holding a fight against the scholarly Dao Xuanyuan with the victor undetermined until the very last moment of their fights, the only reason why they find this fight so impressive is due to the fact that these two monsters fights purely through martial arts without infusing their qi to their techniques, showing just how much of a monster the two of them are in terms of martial prowess alone.
"You all have different gifts so no need to feel so beneath little Xuanyuan, just do what all of you do best~~" watching the fight between her beloved son and her long-time sworn sister's disciple, a black-haired goddess-like motherly beauty, in the form of Su Meiyao, said with a doting smile on her drop-dead gorgeous face as she looks at these daughters-in-law of hers, her words something that made all of these beauties nod in agreement.
Meanwhile, the bubbly young beauty whom Su Meiyao treats as her own daughter given that she's the sole daughter of her childhood friend, silently observes the battle between her dear big brother and the scholarly beauty, her eyes effortlessly following whatever it is that is happening all while her mind accurately analyzes all the things happening, her experiences from the previous timeline allowing her to anticipate some of the moves happening with some considerable accuracy.
However, what she predicts that has a guaranteed accuracy is the fact that her dear big brother is about to win this match, something already so apparent given how he starts gradually pushing the scholarly beauty back, said beauty taking two steps away for every one step that her older half-brother takes.
Standing just right beside the young man's goddess of a mother, the master of the scholarly beauty stands as she observes the things happening, being next only to the bubbly young beauty in terms of insight on the match despite her seeing each and every single motion from the two competing young people with such clear precision, proving just how much difference there is in the experience between the two.
As they all have their own analysis and speculations of the match though, the two people having a spar with each other, the immortal-like young man and the scholarly beauty are currently both looking at each other with excited smile on their faces as they clash weapons with each other, the sword in the beauty's grasp shaking a bit every time it comes in contact with the young man's blade, making her wonder just what is it that he is doing with his weapon.
'It's definitely not qi… is it intent?' remembering the fight between the two of them and the terrifyingly grand projection created when their intents clashed back when they exchanged pointers in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, the scholarly beauty couldn't help but wonder what creates the sudden change that made his intent something so intangible even to her now.
"What the hell had you gone through for the past few months we didn't get to spar, junior brother Xiaotian?" as she takes another step back from another exchange, Dao Xuanyuan asked not with a single wonder, but rather an expression of excitement on her face, not even waiting a single moment before charging towards her opponent once again, swinging her dao sword in a straight, downward motion trying to find an opening in the immortal-like young man's defenses.
"Guess…" hearing her words, the immortal-like young man said with a cheeky smile on his face as he parries the attack coming for him, the strength put by her opponent on her sword something that he really felt despite it not bothering him in the slightest, the attack making him well aware of just how much she grows compared to their previous battle.
After getting into a lock for just a moment, one of them takes the opportunity to attack the other person, the one taking this opportunity being the scholarly beauty, who slid her sword past the young man's blade, thinking that she will finally land a proper hit after getting herself tired from all his defenses, only for her to take a step back and stop her offense the last second as she saw a flash of metallic sheen appearing just on the very corner of her sight, a wise decision on her part given that a wave of air cuts through where she previously was, the blade in the young man's hand already moving somewhere else from their bind.
"Why don't you stop being so defensive, junior brother?" Dao Xuanyuan asks with a hint of provocation apparent from her bell-like, melodious voice, her words along with the snicker on her face causing her opponent, the immortal-like young man, to smile at her in return as he changes his stance.
Raising the blade in front of him as he smiles back, Su Xiaotian replies towards the scholarly beauty as his eyes glow like a hunter seeing his prey.
"Then defend well, senior sister"
