"I didn't," Atiya shrugged and said nonchalantly, "After all, I'm tired of swordplay a long time ago."
174 The Stubborn Sword Master
Light, the sword saint of the human race, once devoted his entire life to the way of the sword and studied the art of swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is a lifelong pursuit.
But now there is a person who says in front of him that he is tired of swordsmanship.
This is completely dancing on Xia Yi's minefield.
Her blood pressure was about to explode.
“Just… shut up!!”
Xia Yi got up from the ground, her hair standing on end with anger.
"Atiya, take back what you just said!"
"What speech?" Atiya asked.
"It's like 'I'm tired of swordplay'!!"
Xia Yi pointed his sword at Atiya.
"No one has the right to say such things!"
Hearing this, Atiya laughed, "Your Highness, I want to ask you one thing. What is your identity in speaking to me? Are you a princess of the Silver Dragon royal family?"
"you……"
"If you give orders in this capacity, as a member of the royal maid group, I will naturally obey."
Atiya bowed slightly.
This has another meaning.
Of course she could take back what she said and obey Xia Yi's wishes.
But this is Xia Yi as a princess.
If Xia Yi was a swordsman, he should speak in a swordsman's way and use swordsmanship to make Atiya shut up.
"Atiya, are you looking down on me... Pick up the sword!"
Xia Yi was getting more and more angry.
Is this questioning his dignity as a sword master?
snort! !
How could I possibly back down here?
"I will defeat you! I will use my strength to convince you. Swordsmanship is not as simple as you think!"
"But, Princess, I think swordsmanship is quite simple. After I understand it a little bit, I have no interest in playing it anymore," Atiya said, "But, I feel that Princess, you are still a little far from understanding it~"
Xia Yi was going crazy.
Atiya looks silly, but when she makes such remarks, the effect of ridicule is multiplied ten thousand times.
After all, I am a human swordsman, but I was looked down upon like this.
"Your Highness, come and take this sword, how about that?"
Atiya got ready again.
This time, she moved her shoes further apart, and moved her feet one in front of the other. She lowered her center of gravity, and placed her weapon at her waist. She raised her other hand slightly, as if she wanted to lock Xia Yi and control her.
This posture is...
"Nothing is particularly surprising, Princess. I think you should also know this move, right? This move is called instant slash. The moment you hold the hilt of the sword, you increase the speed of the sword to the extreme, and slash with a sword that cannot be followed by the naked eye to defeat the enemy."
Atiya even began to explain her next moves.
"However, in the hands of different users, different sword moves have different effects. Come and experience it for yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Atiya's hands began to move.
She is about to draw her sword!
Oh no.
At that moment, murderous aura emerged from Atiya's body. She was not joking.
The next slash is dangerous, so avoid it.
When this thought came to Xia Yi's mind, she felt extremely humiliated.
When the opponent had already announced the next action, he even further announced his own sword moves.
Instead of confronting head-on, you're considering... retreating?
"hateful!!"
Xia Yi forced herself not to dodge, and like Atiya, she lowered her center of gravity. She wanted to fight back and defeat the opponent head-on to prove her swordsmanship.
In an instant, of course she could do it too. She had practiced it countless times before and was very familiar with it.
"Instant kill." said Atiya.
“Instant Slash!!”
Xia Yi roared the moment she grasped the hilt of the sword.
At that moment, a dazzling light cut through the dim space, the air was vibrating, and the eyes could not catch the trajectory of the sword at all.
Speed, the gap is too big.
Xia Yi had just swung the sword, and Atiya's sword light had already landed in front of her.
A victory without any suspense.
"Um...ah!"
Xia Yi was suppressed again, and this time the weapon even slipped out of his hand, flew out and fell to the ground.
Atiya looked at the silver-haired loli lying on the ground, "Your Highness, are you convinced?"
"Aaaaah! I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!!!" Xia Yi retorted.
It is obvious that he has already reached the peak of the third level, and there is almost no difference between him and the fourth level.
And Atiya's current strength is indeed only at the threshold of the fourth level...
Why, just because of this small gap, should we be completely suppressed?
No one can accept this!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. ...…
There was a glow in Xia Yi's hand. This was - the Holy Sword!
She looked at the mark on her holy sword in surprise.
If she had the holy sword, she could shorten the gap immediately, and even surpass Atiya's current level without any problem.
The Holy Sword is such a powerful weapon.
“Holy Sword, this is a battle that concerns my dignity as a sword master!” Xia Yi said firmly, “If I rely on your power here to defeat Atiya, I will never be able to sleep for the rest of my life!”
After hearing Xia Yi's words, the holy sword mark stopped flickering and gradually dimmed.
Xia Yi stood up, ran to the side, and picked up an ordinary iron sword, "Go on, Atiya!"
"Princess, are you really not going to summon the Holy Sword?" Atiya asked, "The Holy Sword is your exclusive weapon, right?"
"No need! Come again!" Xia Yi didn't need to think too much, "Using the Holy Sword to defeat you doesn't mean that my strength can reach the fourth level. What's the point?!"
"it is good."
Atiya agreed.
Once again, he had a sword duel with Xia Yi.
instead……
Boom!
Xia Yi lost again. She and the weapon flew in two different directions.
"Your Highness, you lost again," Atiya said, "As long as your strength is not at the fourth level, you will keep losing unless you use the holy sword."
This failure made Xia Yi calm down a little.
In my past battles, I have experienced many setbacks and failed again and again.
She didn't rush to get up, but lay on the ground and began to think about the reasons for her failure.
If you want to defeat Atiya now, you must reach the fourth level of strength.
But how can I defeat Atiya if my strength is not up to the fourth level?
If you want to break this seemingly unsolvable cycle, you might want to try taking a gamble.
"Maybe... it's time to go find that guy." Xia Yi whispered to herself.
"Well, Princess, who are you talking about?"
"I need to take a break, Atiya."
"Oh... okay." Atiya stepped aside.
Xia Yi closed her eyes, calmed her mind, began to sit in meditation, entered a state of no self, and let her consciousness continue to sink...
……
When Xia Yi opened her eyes again, she was standing in front of a huge door.
On that huge door, there were countless chains, which seemed to be sealing an extremely dangerous existence.
"I'm here to find you."
Xia Yi raised her hand and clenched it, and all the chains broke under her will.
