Chapter Seven, drawing swords at the slightest disagreement

A powerful kick sent the caught-off-guard high-level martial artist flying, the immense inertia propelling him several meters away, where he crashed heavily into a large tree. The clear sound of bones breaking echoed in the somewhat quiet forest.

Seeing Wang Ting effortlessly incapacitate one of their side, Liu Shangyuan, who had originally planned to boast, immediately began to curse, his right hand swiftly gripping the sword at his waist

A student standing directly in front of the royal court shouted sternly, about to say something reprimanding

The flames flicker again

Liu Shao, who was at the forefront, furrowed his brows upon seeing the two figures catching up and said with some dissatisfaction

Bang

The other three individuals, like Lei Ming, are all advanced martial artists, senior students of the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy, and soon-to-be graduates of their institution

However, before he could utter a word, Wang Ting had already taken a sudden step forward. The blood and energy within him surged, and at the moment his left foot swiftly pushed out, a tremendous force surged into his right foot, which he then violently kicked into the chest of this student

As Xi Ruo Jian stated, no matter how strong the swordsmanship is, one must have the opportunity to prepare and the chance to demonstrate it. The opponent, a mid-level swordsman, possesses an overwhelming advantage in various physical attributes, akin to a child who has just learned to walk compared to an adult

Soon, the sun will set in the west

However, when he caught sight of four somewhat furtive followers out of the corner of his eye not far away, his pace slowed down again as he headed towards a secluded deep forest.

Seeing that they had already entered the depths of the jungle and could clearly see no signs of any students around, they no longer wasted time. With a wave of his hand, Lei Ming and Wang Shan immediately rushed forward, quickly surrounding Wang Ting.

After swiftly eliminating three high-level martial artist students, Wang Ting's gaze shifted directly to the rapidly approaching Lei Ming. The fierce, murderous glare clashed with Lei Ming's panicked eyes, and the sheer force of the aura was enough to leave the advancing Lei Ming frozen in place.

Retreating into the forest, one quietly contemplates the knowledge and insights gained today, sensing one's gradual empowerment in silence, which also attracts many students who find joy in the experience

I must not have heard correctly, Lei Ming, you are truly regressing. As a senior student on the verge of graduating from the academy, you are actually intimidated to the point of abandoning thoughts of revenge by a mere sixteen-year-old freshman? Do you still believe that a sixteen-year-old high-level martial artist can contend with the four of us high-level martial artists? Do you still consider him a formal swordsman? If you dare to take a step back today, do not blame me, Wang Shan, for not having you as a brother

Among the four pursuers, one of them was none other than Lei Ming, who had recently been rendered weak and trembling by a single glance from the royal court.

Bang

However, thanks to the power of the sixth-level spiritual scale, the force of the tremor in his palm was quickly drawn into his body, evenly radiating throughout his arm. Although it caused a slight tingling sensation in his arm, it did not affect his third sword swing at all

What audacity!

The two trainees following closely behind the young man hurriedly chased after him

What is going on? Why has it taken so long?

At this moment, Liu Shangyuan, who had been stabbed and nearly incapacitated in one arm, could no longer contain his pain and let out a heart-wrenching scream, his piercing voice echoing throughout the forest as night fell.

He also needs agility and footwork to buy himself time, to seize the moment when Gongsun Su reveals a flaw, allowing for a decisive strike.

Alright, I will go then

Let's just forget it... I appreciate Liu Shao's good intentions, but this kid is really quite something...

Young man, be sensible and...

It is already six o'clock in the afternoon

He discovered us

Upon this thought, Wang Ting could not help but walk towards the grove behind the academy

Hmph

Entering the forest, Wang Ting was determined to sprint towards a densely wooded area, fully exerting himself to train his footwork and body movements by utilizing the obstruction of the trees.

Apologies, Liu Shao, we were merely observing whether anyone was following us. After all, Mentor Xi Ruo Jian, who teaches advanced swordsmanship, seems to regard him with a certain level of distinction, perhaps because they were both born in Bi Shui City

Bang

Just as his sword was drawn halfway, a dazzling beam of sword light suddenly illuminated the dimly lit forest at night. Immediately, a sharp pain spread from his shoulder, as a gleaming sword pierced through it. The blade was angled, sending a spray of crimson blood flying, and with unrelenting momentum, it collided with the sword edge of Wang Shan, who was launching a surprise attack. The entire movement was fluid and seamless, without any pause.

In the memory of his body, there is some impression of this forest, which is dense with trees, quite expansive, and has a tranquil environment. It is not only a popular dating spot for student couples but also a place for many students who cannot afford to train in the training hall to cultivate their skills.

The time had come, and Wang Ting did not continue to stay in the training hall.

Seek death!

Seeing Wang Ting not only refusing to leave the bustling area upon discovering them, but instead heading towards the relatively secluded and rare deep forest, the leading young man immediately snorted coldly and began to draw a map, no longer concealing his figure, and strode into the forest.

Although Lei Ming felt some trepidation towards the royal court, the humiliation he had endured today at their hands made him grit his teeth and resolutely follow along.

How dare he strike first with a sneak attack, incapacitate him

Liu Shao, wait for us

Time swiftly passes during the practice of swordsmanship

The moment Wang Shan opened his mouth, the sword light of Wang Ting suddenly shifted, striking fiercely against his arm along the blade of his sword. As the sword tip turned, it unleashed a dazzling spray of blood, and a wound half a finger deep appeared on the wrist of his sword-hand, the intense pain nearly rendering his entire palm numb

Have you made a decision

The blinding firelight erupted from the edges of the two swords, and the intense shockwave caused Wang Ting, who had recently entered the ranks of high-level martial artists, to feel a jolt in his palm, nearly tearing it apart

The answer is negative

Especially when he realized that Wang Ting had managed to dismantle their siege of four people in such a short time, and had even injured the arms of Wang Shan and Liu Shangyuan, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and... his hand shook, causing even the drawn sword to fall to the ground

Scoundrel

Hmm?

Relying on this immediate suppression, Wang Shan, whose old strength had been exhausted and new strength had yet to arise, was directly forced back by a single sword strike, blood bursting from his palm

Seeing the four people surrounding him, Wang M. halted his figure in the courtyard of hetushu.com

"Leiming, what are you still doing? Come and help me quickly!"

Under the onslaught of the Wang Court, Wang Shan let out a loud shout. Each sword strike from the Wang Court seemed to unleash its full power, completely suppressing his sword's edge. In this situation, every time he clashed directly with the opponent's treasured sword, he felt a sharp pain in his palm. At this moment, his hand had already cracked from the impact, blood filling the sword's hilt.

Liu Shangyuan said coldly

Ah!

One of them seemed to hesitate in the face of the thunderous roar, and could not help but turn cold: "Thunder, what are you doing? Are you thinking of backing out at the last moment? Don't forget, we came here to support you. If it weren't to help you, do you think Liu Shao would take the precious time he spends managing affairs to come here?"

The Xifeng family of B Shui City has some reputation in the Luo River Province, but in the entirety of the Tai Xuan Kingdom, they are hardly significant. Moreover, that kid is just a commoner; how could the Xifeng family of B Shui City possibly offend me for the sake of a commoner? I, Liu Shangyuan, am a direct descendant of the Bai family in the Bai Mountain Province. Once I am promoted to a formal swordsman, I will be eligible to inherit the vacant baron title in my family. Compared to me, a mere commoner, does the Xifeng family dare to go to such lengths to oppose my Bai family?

Can a child, wielding a sharp sword, kill an adult?
