The Eastern Dragon Goddess

Sneakers

Xu Lian early in the morning had been doing the exercises in the palace courtyard with his book guide. He did not want to stay silent because his time was little.

"Why are you training so early in the morning?" zhang Xiuhuan's grumbling approached Xu Lian. He was worried about Xu Lian's state this morning as he wanted to check on Xu Lian's state in his room, he did not find it and hurriedly searched for Xu Lian's whereabouts.

"Why are you babbling so early in the morning?" Xu Lian asked Zhang Xiuhuan.

"You want to practice with me?" challenge Xu Lian to Zhang Xiuhuan. His eyes stared at Zhang Xiuhuan's two eyeballs without a mask, Xu Lian now forbade Zhang Xiuhuan to put his mask back on and as usual he could not refuse Xu Lian's request.

Xu Lian raised his sword and aimed at Zhang Xiuhuan.

"You seriously want to fight me?" zhang Xiuhuan said.

"Oh come on, my sword knowledge is bad enough because of my lack of fighting experience"

It was with great pleasure that Zhang Xiuhuan accepted Xu Lian's challenge, he took the sword from its sheath that was slung beside his waist.

Xu Lian directly attacked Zhang Xiuhuan when he saw him pull out his sword. Zhang Xiuhuan deflected easily the attack from Xu Lian he tried in a defensive position to read Xu Lian's attack pattern. Xu Lian attacked Zhang Xiuhuan quickly and the attack pattern was hard to guess but his attack was nothing compared to Zhang Xiuhuan's fighting experience.

Xu Lian tried to focus his profound energy into his sword and jumped right above Zhang Xiuhuan to attack him. Zhang Xiuhuan received an attack from Xu Lian which made his body push a few steps back.

"Heyy, you stop it!!" Xu Lian halted his steps when he wanted to attack Zhang Xiuhuan back due to a shout from Danzi.

"You guys, you should have stayed inside instead of wandering outside" Danzi walked up to the two of them with sharp eyes.

"Our grandfather is not wandering around but practicing" Xu Lian and Zhang Xiuhuan complained just rolling his eyes lazily.

"And you're supposed to take care of her health instead of taking her to practice!" Danzi turned to look at Zhang Xiuhuan who turned his face away from him.

"What did you say old man? you blaming me?" Zhang Xiuhuan could not bear his anger towards this old man before him who had always tested his patience.

"Ohhh..You dare to me?" Danzi challenged Zhang Xiuhuan.

"Grandfather, Xiuhuan, stop this ridiculous quarrel!" Xu Lian tried to mediate a dispute between the two.

Danzi and Zhang Xiuhuan paid no heed to Xu Lian's cry, they still clashed over who was the greatest among the two of them. But suddenly everything became silent when a murderous aura that many were pointing at them.

The three of them immediately turned their backs to be wary around.

"Who are they watching us?" ask Xu Lian.

"The demon nation of Nindhog" Zhang Xiuhuan told Pete. Pete did not expect that the demon race would hunt him down but he would not be afraid of them in the least.

"The insect bug dares to infiltrate this kingdom" Danzi narrowed his eyes to focus his vision.

"It's quite troublesome" Danzi complained. But not with Xu Lian whose eyes sparkled.

"No, this grandfather is my chance to train to perfect my strength" Xu Lian said enthusiastically. He was going to fight that snake-bodied demon as his training today.

"Good idea, I will also increase my strength by training with these little snakes" Zhang Xiuhuan said excitedly. He did not want to lose the spirit of Xu Lian than that he also had to be more spirited against the demons before him.

"Based on the youngsters" Danzi just shook his head looking at the attitude of the two of them.

Zhang Xiuhuan began to accept Nindhog's attacks that attacked him. With a single slash Nindhog had originally struck him fell to the ground after Zhang Xiuhuan struck right at his heart. Zhang Xiuhuan did not stop there he continued to attack the Nindhogs around him.

Xu Lian did not want to lose to Zhang Xiuhuan, he raised his sword and attacked the approaching Nindhog, his slash hitting the bottom of Nindhog's head but it did not make him die. Xu Lian leaped forward to avoid the attack from Nindhog earlier, and after his foot stepped on the ground again he immediately attacked the other Nindhog who was close to him. Now he tried to attack the heart of the Nindhog as Zhang Xiuhuan did, and succeeded Nindhog immediately fell to the ground without life. Xu Lian continued his attack on the other Nindhog in the same way that he stabbed his heart.

Unlike Zhang Xiuhuan and Xu Lian who used sword techniques to fight the Nindhogs, Danzi used his inner power to transform into the icy realm to attack the Nindhogs. Danzi was fighting with his bare hands, his palms were fed with energy in his possession so that his palms were smoothed with gloves of ice. Danzi Hit the Nindhogs who came to him and every Nindhog who was hit by his punch became frozen and then for the second time Danzi returned Nindhog who had been frozen to pieces.

The Nindhogs began to gradually lose their lives. Neither Zhang Xiuhuan nor Xu Lian had any intention of leaving behind a single living Nindhog. They don't want to make mistakes if they

let one Nindhog loose.

Nindhog stayed the remaining three, originally they planned to run away but Zhang Xiuhuan did not want to let that happen.

"You won't be able to run away from here!" zhang Xiuhuan said coldly.

"You, will not be forgiven by the demon lord!" one of the Nindhogs shouted furiously at Zhang Xiuhuan and Xu Lian who blocked his path.

"Why should I ask forgiveness to the devil" it was Xu Lian's turn to speak.

Zhang Xiuhuan did not want to let these Nindhogs speak too far, he drew his sword out of one of the remaining Nindhogs, as did Xu Lian. After finishing the remaining demons Zhang Xiuhuan and Xu Lian returned to where Danzi was.

"It looks like they didn't give us time to practice!" Danzi sighed after speaking.

"Then grandfather what about my strength refinement training?" ask Xu Lian.

"It doesn't matter, a little more your strength will be perfect . Now we must go to the kingdom before the demon race attacks. And you can also train on the way to the kingdom" Danzi glanced at Xu Lian with a serious look in his eyes.

"Is that how fast we're going?" Zhang Xiuhuan felt very rushed, just yesterday afternoon they arrived and this morning they were going to go back home.

"We have no other choice!" said Danzi who was replied by a nod by Xu Lian.

"My hope now is just the two of them to defeat the Demon King" Danzi thought.
