Volume 2 + Chapter 70: Too Strong

Xia Yi indeed heard these words.

In an extremely short amount of time, she engaged in rapid thought.

What did Xia Lulu’s words mean?

Could there be a possibility of a contingency plan?

Impossible, her sword had already left her hand, and according to the rules, once the weapon hits the ground, it would be her victory.

She should be undoubtedly defeated.

But why say such a thing at this time?

Could it be that Xia Lulu wanted to shake her resolve, thus bluffing to reveal a flaw, to knock the sword from her hand?

If her own sword was knocked to the ground before the opponent’s weapon, then she would definitely lose.

Although Xia Lulu was not very skilled in swordsmanship, her combat experience was extremely rich, and she could be considered a master.

In a game between masters, there are too many gambits, one wrong move and the whole game is lost.

Until the last moment, the outcome is uncertain.

Now, two paths lay before Xia Yi.

One, to pursue victory and suppress all possibilities.

Two, to cower.

Which one was the trap set by Xia Lulu?

Almost in a breath’s time, the little princess thought rapidly and finally came to a conclusion.

I, the Human Sword Saint, must achieve a complete victory, to utterly suppress Xia Lulu here, to overcome fear, to surpass myself!

“Take this, Xia Lulu, I will claim victory!!”

Xia Yi gripped the Holy Sword with both hands and slashed towards Xia Lulu.

Xia Lulu was now unarmed, with no possibility of counterattacking, a full-force strike was all that was needed.

However…

An unbelievable scene occurred.

Xia Yi could hardly believe her eyes.

The sword that was supposed to have flown out was caught by Xia Lulu, not with her hands, but with her large tail!

This, this?!

Xia Lulu’s large tail hooked the sword, as if everything was calculated by her, the flexible tail swung the weapon towards her at an astonishing speed, even leaving behind a blurry afterimage.

This was outrageous, could the tail even be used like this?

Which world’s swordsman would use their tail to swing a sword?!

Xia Yi felt this was too absurd.

But then she thought, Xia Lulu, this person, indeed wasn’t any orthodox swordsman, she wouldn’t follow normal logic.

This seemed to make sense again.

“So sweet, my daughter,” Xia Lulu said disdainfully.

It was too late, there was no way to dodge now, because Xia Yi was already in a state of full attack, to forcibly retract was even too late for defense.

Now it was better to choose a head-on collision.

Xia Lulu’s swordsmanship was not good, but it was still uncertain who would fall.

“Holy Sword!!”

Xia Yi activated the power of her bloodline, her eyes emitting a faint glow, and the Holy Sword responded to her, a golden glow enveloping the blade, greatly amplifying its might.

All in!

There was no reason to lose, in terms of swordsmanship, Xia Lulu definitely couldn’t beat me, she was just taking advantage now.

With this thought, Xia Yi’s Holy Sword collided directly with Xia Lulu’s tail sword, a head-on confrontation.

At the moment of contact, the radiance on the Holy Sword shattered like glass.

Xia Lulu was indeed not as good as Xia Yi in swordsmanship, without any cleverness to speak of, she couldn’t even release sword qi, but there was one ability that she had over Xia Yi——

Strength.

In the face of absolute overpowering strength, all techniques were just empty talk.

Xia Lulu wasn’t swinging the sword with her tail, but rather, she was swinging a mountain range.

She was displaying the exaggerated strength of a Dragon King.

Suddenly, Xia Yi remembered, it seemed that when she first met Xia Lulu, she crushed the Holy Sword with one foot, if not for outrageous strength, how could she have done that?

Since Xia Lulu had always been showing magic and never engaged in close combat, Xia Yi had overlooked this.

And this ill-tempered Silver Dragon Queen deliberately hid her strength, pretending to play with her like a young dragon, and now she was done pretending.

In the face of strength, there was an absolute gap between Xia Lulu and Xia Yi.

There was no need for any swordsmanship or technique, just pure strength was enough to crush her.

Boom!

Xia Lulu’s strike created a huge shockwave, and in the midst of the wind and waves, Xia Yi felt she had lost sensation, lost control over her body, and was thrown out, falling to the ground.

“Damn it…!”

The silver-haired Dragon Princess let out an unwilling growl with her eyes closed.

“The Holy Sword is going to fall~” Xia Lulu kindly reminded.

“Ah… Holy Sword!!”

Xia Yi saw the Holy Sword flying high into the sky, and in the impact just now, the Holy Sword had left her hand.

“This is bad, I have to catch the Holy Sword quickly, otherwise I’ll lose!”

Actually, this step was not difficult, just stand up, raise your hand, and you could catch the Holy Sword.

But the key was, Xia Yi couldn’t move at all now, her body seemed to not belong to her, unresponsive, even standing up was an impossible action.

“Move, body, why won’t you move?!” Xia Yi, lying on the ground, was frantic.

The Holy Sword spun twice in the sky, reached its highest point, and then under the force of gravity, was pulled down, the tip pointing towards the ground, falling rapidly, casting a shadow that grew larger over Xia Yi.

“Ah… it’s over…” The silver-haired loli’s face turned pale.

But the Holy Sword did not fall on Xia Yi, it was caught by Xia Lulu.

Since Xia Lulu was not a Sword Bearer, the Holy Sword quickly lost its radiance, becoming dim, losing its edge.

This scene left Xia Yi stunned.

Xia Lulu looked at her daughter and smiled.

At the same time, Xia Yi also noticed something, Xia Lulu’s tail was now lying on the ground, and the sword hooked by the tail naturally touched the ground as well.

If according to the rules she had set earlier, then…

“Aiya, at the last moment, I wasn’t careful and made such a low-level mistake.” Xia Lulu sighed.

“Xia Lulu, you…”

Xia Yi stopped mid-sentence.

“Let’s say you won, daughter.”

Xia Lulu flicked her tail, and the weapon returned to the weapon box next to the training ground.

The Holy Sword was also stuffed into Xia Yi’s arms.

After that, Xia Lulu left.

Xia Yi just stared blankly, until Xia Lulu’s figure disappeared from the training ground, it took a long time before she came to her senses.

It was over.

The duel ended in a way Xia Yi had never anticipated.

Such a victory.

Xia Yi’s face turned red, unable to make any excuses. This victory was more humiliating than losing, some things, indeed, had to be admitted…

With the Holy Sword gone, the little princess hugged her knees, buried her face into them, and whispered to herself:

“Mother… is really strong…”
