Chapter 1595 A Show of Skill
As Shan Wangjiu swung away his days, Alex made him keep moving through the forest, to the lake and beyond into thick grassland that had more than seen their fair share of battles.
The open space gave way for more people to fight, and Alex managed to find someone after reset who was willing to fight him. The woman challenged him first.
She was with a group as well, although consisting of only 4 people, and had been another one of the people who had fought and won against him. She had to leave to protect her juniors from being needlessly challenged, but now that Alex had come to her himself, she was more than happy to fight with him again.
Alex brandished Midnight, accepting the challenge that was thrown at him.
The woman used no weapon, fighting only with her skills. She started the battle with a spinning spiral of gold and blue energy that she tossed at him.
The strength of the attack was strong enough that if he did nothing, he would most likely die. His physical strength alone wasn't enough to stop the attack, and he had to use Qi to protect himself.
But Alex felt stubborn.
He grinned, sending out a sword slash that exploded the moment it came into contact with the gold and blue energy.
At the same time, Alex moved to the side, sending another strike toward the girl.
Lightning filled her eyes before thunder filled her ears. A bolt of lightning flew in an arc that a sword slash would follow and got close to the woman.
It was stopped by the woman's armor that she wore underneath her robe. Still, she felt the force of the lightning strike, surprised by how strong the technique was.
Alex stood smiling, looking at the woman who failed to grasp why she, a Saint Soul 9th realm cultivator, was taking so much damage from someone who wasn't even Saint Soul 4th realm yet.
She assumed Alex was doing something here, perhaps using some incredible pill that only he had. She even imagined that he must have been hiding his cultivation base the entire time to play the pig in front of them all.
Whatever the case, she wanted to beat him even more now. She no longer fought for just the challenge.
Alex fought, in part for himself, and in part to show the Shan Wangjiu, who was watching from far away, what it was to be a sword fighter as a cultivator.
Due to the lack of close distance between cultivators during a battle, close combat techniques were mostly useless. Things such as footwork, momentum, balance, and a host lot of other things that were important to know as a swordsman were quite useless when it came to a cultivator battle.
He was still planning on teaching them to him, but he was also preparing him for real fights, which he mostly already knew.
Alex swung a fire slash at one of the incoming attacks that was barely stopped. Then he swung again, a water slash making for the woman.
A water serpent quickly formed around the woman, its tail striking all attacks that came toward her.
Alex saw that as an opportunity and stopped pouring Qi into Midnight. His sword carried only a white light that filled it as he swung it at the snake's tail.
The tail slammed the attack away, which was weaker than all other attacks that Alex had thrown at her, but the relentless attacks that came afterward made it hard for the woman to concentrate on her attack.
He was on the defensive, having to stay inside the blue serpent that wrapped around her and wait for an opening that Alex would give her.
But he never did.
