The Legend of the Devil

Ch. 156 - An Equitable Enemy

Xue Zhan and his enemy faced each other, measuring each other with sharp glances. They moved quickly, starting the attack deftly. The enemy moved his sword nimbly, trying to attack the opponent with all his might. While Xue Zhan prepared a surprise attack to welcome in when the opponent was nearby.

Xue Zhan clenched his fists, preparing to face his enemy. He watched his opponent's movements closely, trying to find an opening to attack.

Meanwhile, his enemy began to move his sword at high speed and was difficult to read. He moved forward, trying to hit Xue Zhan with full force. But unfortunately Xue Zhan was not affected. He easily dodged the attack and quickly launched a counterattack.

Xue Zhan swung his sword trying to hit his enemy. But again the enemy can avoid the attack with nimble. He continued moving forward, trying to attack Xue Zhan from the side. Xue Zhan immediately took a step back and quickly prepared a surprise attack.

The enemy had no time to react. He was shocked as he felt Xue Zhan's sword turning sharply almost touch his body. He felt a sharp wind come tearing apart his thin arm and quickly retreated a few steps to dodge the next attack.

It seemed that Xue Zhan had not given his enemy a chance to recover. He continued to attack with a swift attack without pause. His enemy was constantly trying to dodge the attack, not believing it would be cornered like this.

"I wonder which college you came from."

Xue Zhan ignored him and without saying much continued to attack and fend off enemy attacks. But still both of them draw and it does not look who the winner. Xue Zhan retreated for a moment as did his opponent.

Xue Zhan looked at his enemy with a sharp look. He knew that his enemies would not succumb to it. His enemies did not move and still thought the same as he seemed, watching each other's movements carefully. Before long Xue Zhan again swung his sword unleashing a deadly technique from the Celestial Phoenix Book, which was the first to come back,

"The Book of the Heavenly Phoenix - the Six Killer Methods."

A violent tremor emerged from underground, Xue Zhan leaping in midair about to hit an opponent who instantly realized the great danger and took as far distance as possible. The attack only hit the air, Xue Zhan had already guessed it, his opponent was extremely agile and fast. Open attack won't be able to hit it.

Suddenly, his enemy leaped upwards and emerged from the puff of smoke, swiftly swinging his sword towards Xue Zhan. Xue Zhan was shocked and did not have time to react. He was cornered by that unexpected counterattack, and was almost struck by his enemy's sword.

Xue Zhan moved back a few steps. However, his enemy did not give him a chance. He continued to attack Xue Zhan with deadly attacks.

Xue Zhan struggled to dodge every single one of those attacks, but he was getting cornered even more. He looked around, looking for a way to defeat his enemy. However, he did not see any gaps to attack.

Xue Zhan tilted his sword deflecting the opponent's sword blade, A violent clash occurred creating sparks. He took a step forward and quickly swung his sword towards his enemy. His enemy was shocked and ducked allowing the sword crossed over him through the empty air. His enemy responded very quickly, dodging attacks and retaliating by slashing Xue Zhan with his sword. Xue Zhan managed to dodge the attack by moving backwards, and then came back to attack with a more violent attack. He continued to attack and dodge, both of them seemingly balanced fighting each other.

Meanwhile the enemy continued to attack Xue Zhan with increasing speed and strength. Xue Zhan continued to move forward and backward, trying to attack his enemy with all his might but also paying attention to self-defense.

Yang Xue Zhan understood back then, the enemy was extremely skilled in using swords. Every movement of his sword seemed orderly and deadly. Xue Zhan knew that his enemy was wearing extremely complicated and well-organized sword techniques. It was hard to find a gap from him.

He kept trying and moved agilely, following every move of his enemy. After a while, Xue Zhan managed to find a gap and launched a successful attack on his enemy despite not being fatal.

The fight between Xue Zhan and his enemy continued on with increasing intensity. Both attack and defend each other. Blood kept flowing on their faces, swords, and clothes, creating an increasingly gripping atmosphere.

In one powerful kick attack, Xue Zhan managed to blow the enemy into the wall very hard.

After Xue Zhan kicked the enemy to the point of being thrown out, the old building fell apart. Dust and smoke billowed from the ruins of collapsed wooden walls and roof tiles. People who had been celebrating the festival were now panicking and trying to save themselves. Some of them fell and were trampled by the running crowd. Some screamed in fear, while others tried to calm themselves and find a way out of the growing crowd.

Amidst the chaos, Xue Zhan stood up with a gasp of breath. He observed his enemy who was now rising back up and attacking again with his red sword that was emitting a white light. He jumped up and launched a swift and deadly sword attack.

But his enemy was too agile and managed to dodge the attack nimbly. The two attacked each other and defended without the desire to give pause. The deadly battle just happened and began to penetrate into places filled with visitors.

Xue Zhan could not stop him, this person was extremely strong and was worth it. Surprisingly, both of them like they both understand their respective fighting styles. The horror in the fight made the crowd even more afraid and tried to get away from there.

The enemy counterattacked his attack with an unexpected lunge, although the straight attack was clearly visible, Xue Zhan still could not avoid it. Instead Xue Zhan used a sword technique that was opposite to his enemy, creating a dazzling instantaneous flash of light and producing a loud bang as the two swords collided. Both have balanced strength and continue to attack each other with their respective tactics and techniques.

"It seems like it will be difficult to determine who the winner will be." There was a small murmur from the mouth of his enemy.

As the two held off each other's attacks, both of them were able to take a closer look at the enemy before them at this moment.

"You masked your identity like a coward."

Xue Zhan countered fiercely. "You're talking to yourself?"

"God." He's sniffing cynically. "I'm actually curious about who you are, you can fight on par with me. It's very difficult to find an enemy that can read my attack plot this fast, but this is the first time we've fought."

"Unfortunately I have absolutely no interest in showing it to you, damn it."

The enemy laughed briefly. "Well it's an honor that you could die with a sword that has taken thousands of lives." His tone sounded arrogant, but he didn't seem to be bragging. Xue Zhan could feel it. The sword has a different air.
