Chapter 168: The Subtle Footwork Under the Sword's Shadow

  Liu Kai's body slowly made a martial arts move, his right hand holding a long sword stabbing upwards to the right, while his left hand was behind his back.

  Her gaze naturally fell on Xia Yan who was walking towards her, and the disdain in her eyes was not hidden at all.

  For his own martial arts, Liu Kai is obviously very confident. The martial art he cultivates is a top-notch secret recipe in the human-level secret book, and this martial art is best at offense. Generally speaking, even if it's an internal force with him and also cultivates human-level secret books, practitioners are hard to be his opponent.

  Moreover, Liu Kai's combat experience is also quite rich. Although he hasn't gone through life-or-death battles like in the Forest of Sin, the Liu family spent a huge price to let Liu Kai learn combat skills, and the effect is still pretty good.

  Just yesterday afternoon, Liu Kai defeated Xia Zixing with one sword, and he also knew that Xia Zixing was the eldest daughter of the Xi family. Generally speaking, the children of a family's current head are naturally able to get more conditions. As long as they have superior talent, almost all can become the strongest young masters in their families.

  So, after Liu Kai easily defeated Xia Zixing, he naturally looked down on the younger generation of the Xia family. As for what Xia Feilong said about Xia Yan, he didn't take it to heart either. In his opinion, even if Xia Yan was more formidable than Xia Zixing, how much more formidable could he be? Even if he could withstand a few moves in his hands, he would still be bound to fail.

  "Summer's family head, you'll see the best of Summer's clan take action soon. I wonder if this is what they call the 'best' of Summer's words. Just how excellent is the best of Summer's words?" Liu Chang Lao said with a hint of teasing, rotating the jade ring on his finger.

  As long as Liu Kai defeats Xia Yan, the Xia family must sign the cooperation agreement drafted by the Liu family. Moreover, although this is a competition between two young juniors, it directly involves the power of the two families.

  Li Lao was very confident in Liu Kai.

  Ever since Liu Kai opened up all 108 meridians in his body, he had never lost a fight. Generally, just one sword strike was enough to defeat his opponent.

  "Heh heh, Xia Yan's strength will be known to Liu Zhanglao soon! I believe he won't disappoint Liu Zhanglao." Xia Feilong said with a slight bow and a smile.

  Xia Yan walked to the center of the hall and nodded at Liu Kai.

  "I'll take a look at his martial skills first, just now Zi Xin said that Liu Kai's martial skills are extremely powerful, I don't know how they compare to the 'Nine Heaven Funeral Sword'. After he finishes displaying a set of martial skills, I will also be able to remember them more or less. At that time, I can defeat him again. This match is related to the great interests of the Xia family, and I absolutely cannot lose." Summer Yan's eyes flashed with light for a moment, thinking secretly in his heart.

  Liu Kai sneered: "Are you ready?"

  Xia Yan heard this and smiled, nodding his head: "Young Master Liu can make his move now!"

  "Brother Liu Kai, defeat him!"

  "Come on, Liu Kai! Beat it!"

  Although the two young masters of the Liu family were present, they shouted to help Liu Kai. They are all young juniors. So even if such words are shouted out in this situation, there will be no particularly bad influence. Therefore, the elders of the Liu family did not speak out to stop them either.

  Xia Zixin pinched Bai Zhuohua's palm. With a worried gaze at Xia Yan, upon hearing the two Liu family disciples shouting, she said in a crisp voice: "Xia Yan, knock him down and let him know the ferocity of the Xia family disciples."

  "Xia Yan, let them know the strength of the Xia family's most excellent young master!" Xia Liu also shouted.

  Since the Liu family elders didn't stop the young Liu, Xia Feilong naturally acquiesced to Xia Zixing and Xia Liu's actions. Otherwise, people might think you're weak-willed rather than humble.

  "Father, can Xia Yan beat that annoying Liu Kai?" Although Xia Zixing shouted like this, the worry in her heart could not be alleviated.

  She was just beside Xia Fei Long, and at this time she whispered a sentence in her father's ear.

  Xia Feilong nodded, glanced at Xia Zixing and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, believe in Xia Yan's strength. In the past, those who practiced the 'Jiutian Liumen Sword' were not weak, right? They are not Xia Yan's opponents."

  "Hmm!" Xia Zixin nodded slightly and looked at Xia Yan again.

  "Haha, I'll make the first move, and you might just lose your chance to counterattack." Liu Kai sneered loudly at Xia Yan, "Fine, let me show you what real martial skills look like!"

  As they spoke, Liu Kai's originally raised long sword suddenly moved. The sword slid from the top to the front of his body, bringing up a faint sword wind.

  He was a post-heavenly peak expert, with internal energy that could already form a faint sword wind, or sword aura. However, this intensity of sword aura couldn't kill anyone at all.

  Although the force was not great, it also made the air produce a clear sonic boom, shocking people.

  Several elders of the Xia family changed their faces slightly, and they were also surprised by Liu Kai's strength in their hearts.

  Liu Kai is only 15 years old, and at the age of 15, he already has such strength. The possibility of becoming a spiritual master in the future is also very great. Moreover, the Liu family now has two spiritual masters. In Guangyuan City, the Liu family's power is the greatest. Under the Liu family, there are three other families with equivalent strength. The four families in the city have a total of seven quotas for the assessment of the Purple Leaf Academy. The Liu family and the Fan Shan tribe occupy three alone, which can be seen as the strong momentum of the Liu family.

  ”

  Liu Kai's foot tapped on the ground, his figure rapidly darting forward, the long sword in his hand forming a terrifying circular sword aura under the control of his internal energy, dozens of black sword shadows directly covering Xia Yan's entire body to harm him.

  "It's indeed a sharp sword technique!" Xia Yan saw Liu Kai use his first move and felt the power of this sword technique.

  "It seems that the power of this move is even greater than the 'Nine Heavens Funeral Sword' used by Xi Qiushui! However, it's also possible that Xi Qiushui has only been practicing the 'Nine Heavens Funeral Sword' for a short month and hasn't been able to bring out its true power." Xia Yan furrowed his brow, his eyes fixed on Liu Kai who was rapidly approaching.

  "Scared silly?" Liu Kai's internal force surged into the sword. His feet coordinated with his body strength, finally transmitting to the sword tip, and the long sword accelerated again. "Really useless, thought I could play a bit longer."

  Liu Kai almost saw his sword piercing through Xia Yan's clothes.

  "Huh?" Xia Fei Long's body shook, he was also puzzled, why didn't Xia Yan counterattack or dodge?

  But Xia Yan still had a faint smile on his face. At this moment, he looked at Liu Kai as if an adult was looking at a child, and Liu Kai's speed in his eyes was really too slow.

  Xia Zixin's beautiful eyes widened in tension as she stared at the scene, her small mouth opening slightly before quickly covering it with her hand. A look of shock appeared on her face. It seemed that Xia Yan was about to be stabbed.

  "It's another move that doesn't hold back! Liu Kai, don't take Xia Gongzi's life!" Old Man Liu shook his head, seeing that Liu Kai's sword was too powerful and feared he couldn't control it, so he shouted the sentence behind him.

  After all, the Liu family and Xia family still need to cooperate. If Xia Yan were to be hurt, that wouldn't be good. Upon hearing Old Man Liu's words, County Magistrate Fei Long's face also turned cold.

  ”

  Just as Liu Changlao shouted, Xia Yan suddenly moved.

  In the center of the hall, Xia Yan stood motionless. At the moment when the long sword's tip was about to reach him, he strangely dodged it.

  After Xia Yan dodged, even everyone could still see the residual shadow left by Xia Yan being pierced by Liu Kai's long sword.

  Liu Kai just wanted to gather his strength and change his attack route. However, before he could even make such a move, the target in front of him had already disappeared.

  His body shook violently, Liu Kai hastily took a step to the right and simultaneously withdrew his long sword, leaning back. He made a 360-degree sweep around his body with his long sword.

  "Liu Gongzi, your sword skills are quite sharp. Please go all out and attack me without any reservations. With your abilities, the possibility of you hurting me is almost zero." Xia Yan's light laughter sounded from behind Liu Kai.

  Liu Kai's feet spun on the ground, his body turned around, and his long sword was held horizontally in front of his chest. His eyes were filled with some disbelief.

  He had no idea how the truth was dodging his long sword in his hand, this feeling made Liu Kai have a feeling of not being able to touch the ground with his feet.

  "You," Liu Kai said with a pale face, "how did you manage to get past?"

  "Haha, I told you, but you don't understand!" Xia Yan shook his head and laughed.

  When Xia Yan said this, Liu Kai suddenly became furious, which was obviously insulting him!

  A long, intense hum shook the air, and a sword's wail echoed out.

  Liu Kai's internal energy burst out of his body. His feet stomped the ground "thud" "thud". With great force, he thrust forward, his entire body rapidly charging ahead.

  The long sword, in Liu Kai's hand, quickly stabbed out over a hundred swords in three directions. The dense and numerous sword shadows covered the entire space in front of him.

  In an instant, the two of them stuck together.

  And Xia Yan was also shrouded in these sword shadows.

  From the outside, it seems that Xia Yan is constantly being stabbed, with over a hundred swords piercing him in a short period of time. However, Xia Yan did not retreat from the dense sword shadows and did not fall down.

  Xia Liu let out a heavy sigh and looked at the scene before him.

  Xia Zixin also couldn't see clearly what happened under the sword shadow.

  "Father, is Xia Yan all right?" County Zou asked in a worried tone.

  Ordinary people can't see clearly, but Xia Feilong can see very clearly. He clearly saw that in the midst of over a hundred sharp sword shadows, Xia Yan was continuously dodging with cleverness. Each time, he was only less than one centimeter away from the sword body. And it's precisely this one-centimeter distance that cannot be shortened further.

  So, up until now, Xia Yan is still safe and sound, without a single hair being hurt.

  "This move is too powerful!" Xia Fei Long exclaimed, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

  He himself thought that even if he were to do it, he couldn't achieve such a subtle movement. Of course, there were many ways for him to dodge Liu Kai's attack, but he couldn't avoid it as subtly as Xia Yan did.

  "How much exquisite control over the body is required? Every part of the flesh and blood, almost every block can be cleverly controlled. When the long sword stabs at that position, it makes that piece of flesh and blood cleverly shrink or change shape!" Xia Fei Long's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Xia Yan's progress has always been astonishing to people!"
