1621 Sarah vs Zhao Boqin
Sarah swung her spear around, creating a gust of wind that carried out a force that few in the secret realm could fight against. Her body moved and the spear moved in a certain other way that seemed to amplify her earlier attack even more.
More and more she danced, and the stronger the attack grew.
Zhao Boqin saw the attack and snorted a little. He forced Metal Qi into his spear and swung it forward, a golden dragon rushing forth from his spear, breaking down the attack in one shot.
Sarah said nothing and simply smiled. She just continued sending out more attacks, ones that were more bother than danger.
Zhao Boqin very well knew how she fought, and it irritated him to no end.
As the man started throwing out attacks more and more, Sarah started moving away from him so he had to follow him. She attacked him as well but while she was still on the move.
Zhao Boqin tried many times in between to catch her while she ran, but never could he catch up to her at all. Not only was she annoying, she was annoyingly fast as well. He could almost tell what Dao she was using. Something to do with Wind.
If he had Wood Spiritual root, he might have been able to tell. But without it, there wasn't any way for him to tell what Dao she had.
He had two Dao as well. Dao of Sharpness and Dao of Water. The second one wasn't as helpful, but he did apply the Dao of Sharpness to his attack when he could. It was almost a second nature to him now.
His attacks roared like a dragon as they tore the sky and went for Sarah, but Sarah simply dodged them by running away. His attacks didn't reach her at all.
The two fought in the sky and many of the others had already stopped fighitng by now and were watching to the distance where they had went while lost in the battle.
"A good attack from brother Zhao and she will most likely lose," one of the young men said. "In a direct clash, he will most likely win."
Alex nodded in agreement.
"But she's not going to let him," a female's voice took his attention. Ren Wujin was sitting close by, watching the battle as well. "Sister Hongxi is going to make him dance around like a puppet."
"He's fought her long enough, surely he's aware how to fight her," another woman said. "He has defeated her before."
Ren Wujin said nothing.
"Have you all seen him fight?" Alex asked. "Does he use talismans or formations during his fights?"
"No," one of the men said. "He's quite straightforward when it comes to fighting. He will use nothing but just himself and his spears."
Alex continued looking at the battle in the distance while a thought crossed his mind.
'Spears,' he thought. 'Is there a reason so many of them use spears.' He remembered that the Dragon Emperor himself used spears. Alex assumed that these legionnaires were either inspired or taught by the royal family and thus many used Spears. He had certainly seen many use swords and other weapons.
The battle continued for a long time. Hours passed by and the two continued fighting. One chased and the other ran, but neither came close to losing or winning.
The battle was getting intense.
Sarah thrust her spear and lightning flashed from her spear, targeting Zhao Boqin. Zhao Boqin instead spun his spear and created a barrier of Metal energy that blocked the attack.
As soon as the attack was blocked, he thrust his spear forward, sending a swift attack toward the girl, but Sarah simply dodged it. She spun in the air, the spear spinning around her, gathering wind around her that she sent back.
Zhao Boqin sent out an attack of his own. The two attacks collided midair, surprising him just how strong it was. 'Is she starting to use stronger attacks?' he wondered.
Up until now, the attacks had been enough to be a problem, but not enough to be a danger, but this one was.
He saw a flash of light and knew what was to come next was lightning. He saw tendrils of the lightning strike streak toward him.
Zhao Boqin wasted no time and waved his hand around, creating a shield of water out of nowhere. He had to force the Dao of Water this time around and he could feel the slight ache in his head from using it.
The lightning exploded on the water barrier but was stropped thus.
Sarah saw the opportunity and the wind spun around her. Instantly, they gathered around her, forming Wind spears that rushed forward.
Zhao Boqin only felt it coming and quickly enforced the barrier that was already there. The spears all struck the water barrier, creating points of opening from where some of the spears started breaking through.
The man panicked and fought those spears directly with his spears.
The girl pushed her advantage. She threw more spears and various attacks. On top of that, she continued moving closer and closer, step by step. The closer she got, the less distance her attack had to travel and the harder it would be for the man to dodge it.
Zhao Boqin was so busy blocking the attacks that he didn't even have the opportunity to dodge any of the other ones. On top of that, he could feel something changing about the surrounding.
He had felt it so many times and knew that the girl was using another one of her Dao. He still didn't know what, but he could tell that it was getting harder for him to move his body.
He had been caught now. If this continued, he was going to lose. And yet, he didn't fear just yet.
It was true that if she got close enough, he would lose, but there was also the truth that he had one last attack that he could use upon her that she couldn't dodge.
He continued defending, but he waited. He waited and waited, and waited. And then…
'Now!' he thought. Suddenly, his spear glowed blue and a faint image of a blue dragon appeared around it.
Sarah sensed the aura of Immortal Qi and her eyes flashed with surprise and fear. She knew he had it in him, but she hadn't expected him to use it right now. 'So he was truly cornered,' she thought.
Even as the Immortal Water Dragon flew out of the man's spear, green energy surrounded Sarah's spear which suddenly glowed bright white. Her Immortal Qi suddenly turned to lightning once again, this time it held the shape of a feline beast that charged for the water dragon.
The two attacks clashed and the world trembled.
Immortal technique striking Immortal technique was not something the world was able to handle. The clash created a deafening blast and caused the ground beneath everyone to tremble.
Lights of various colors flashed and many even saw the space fluctuate. On the point of impact, space had even fractured, creating tiny openings to the Void that closed as soon as it arrived.
The aftermath of the clash remained a mystery to everyone for a long time.
