Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Miss?” Ah Ling nudged her.
Lu Mingshu turned back, “Sir, you can go back first.”
Captain Ding looked at Ye Zhenyan with fear before nodding in agreent. “Okay, we will stop here. Miss can just shout for us if anything happens.”
Lu Mingshu threw the bronze leaf on the water surface and jumped onto it.
The Ding family’s boat slowly got further away.
Ye Zhenyan looked at the bronze-coloured leaf she was standing on and moved his hand, signalling for her to start. “Miss Lu, please.”
As soon as he finished, a lightning-like sword-light made a beeline for Ye Zhenyan.
Ye Zhenyan focused on the sword-light, and clear rays of light appeared as a circle of water was ford. The water rippled as it blocked the attack.
Ding!
The sound of the swords colliding could be heard.
The swords separated imdiately, and Ye Zhenyan stepped on his silver leaf. Like a ghost, he moved behind Lu Mingshu. Sword energy was unleashed, and waves surged as if there was a huge force pulling the water, forcing it up to the sky.
Whoosh!
This alerted the others nearby.
The harbour’s market just started, so there were many shopkeepers and owners still bargaining prices with the ships. There were also so who were just here to watch the auction and hadn’t left yet. This was the busiest ti in Remainder Island’s harbour.
“Wow! A fight at the harbour! Aren’t they afraid to get caught?”
“Are you an idiot? A turquoise shirt and a silver leaf, that’s a Ye Family mber!”
“Who’s so daring to fight a Ye Family mber? That person really doesn’t want to live.”
“I know, right?”
The water blocking her line of sight and the sounds of water gushing disturbed Lu Mingshu. She was able to condense her energy but not use it.
Ye Family mbers spent most of their ti in water, and their silver leaf was like land to them. In addition, their skills were related to water, so fighting on water was an advantage for them.
As soon as Ye Zhenyan started, she knew that he was better than Ye Zhenfan and the rest. If he participated in the Qilin Festival, he would be in the top ten at least.
Lu Mingshu guessed that she might have a 70-80% chance of winning if they were onshore, but now, they were on the water, and the fight had already started.
A ray of sword-light held between the water ripples had already reached her silently.
Lu Mingshu’s eyes shone as she shook her hand and sent out a wave of sword-light.
The other party’s sword-light shattered, but it didn’t have much effect on him.
Lu Mingshu was astounded. She imdiately turned around in panic.
Whoosh—–!
The water scread as more than ten streaks of sword-light ca out from the water, forming a sudden echo effect.
In a mont of urgency, a hum could be heard as Lu Mingshu’s mystic light enlarged. A mild golden light blinked like there was a talisman.
The water dropped down toward Ye Zhenyan.
“Spiritual tool?” He raised his eyebrows.
The golden rays faded slowly, and the spiritual tool went back to Lu Mingshu.
“Miss Lu,” Ye Zhenyan yelled, “As the holder of first place in the Qilin Festival, your ability is too disappointing.”
“Gentleman Ye, you’re indeed much more capable than the previous ones.”
“Hah!” Ye Zhenyan didn’t know if he should be angry or laugh. Trying to say that Ye Zhenfan is too weak? Well, it’s true.
“Do you want to see sothing even more powerful?”
Lu Mingshu held up her sword. “Just do it already. What’s the need for so many words?”
Ye Zhenyan smirked, and the killing aura got thicker.
The water started bubbling. Lu Mingshu had seen this before when she fought Ye Zhenfan, but the aura was different.
Whoosh!
The water shot up high like a fountain, arousing the nurous streams and taking up half a mile.
The sword energy surrounded the water, getting faster as tid passed.
“Mystic Water Sword! The Ye Family’s Mystic Water Sword!”
More and more people gathered at the harbour. It was now packed like sardines as they all looked over to where Lu Mingshu and Ye Zhenyan were fighting.
“Mystic Water Sword? That’s a Ye Family disciple?”
“80% at least. Look at how young he is, he is definitely a young master.”
A sharp voice interrupted the conversation going on between the crowd. “Don’t you all know who he is?”
The crowd turned to him.
The middle-aged man who spoke looked at them proudly. “That’s the Ye Family’s third young master!”
“Third young master? That’s the third young master of the Ye Family?” Many people cried out in surprise.
“Who’s the third young master of the Ye Family?” There were so who were unaware.
The man who revealed Ye Zhenyan’s identity rolled his eyes. “You don’t even know who the third young master of the Ye Family is? Are you even a resident of White Heron State? He’s the best in his generation. Back when Ling Wuxia ca to White Heron State, he drew against her!”
“Wow, a draw against Ling Wuxia. Isn’t he the best in the Harmonization Realm then?”
“Exactly. The best from the biggest sects – Kou Wei from the Heavenly Sea Pavilion and Wei Chunqiu from the Seventh Truth Platform – are going to break through to the Spirit Realm soon. By then, the Harmonization Realm will belong to the Ye Family’s third young master and the rest.”
The crowd gasped in awe, but in reality, the man had exaggerated. Ling Wuxia indeed had a draw against Ye Zhenyan, but it was when they were both in the Inner Breath Realm. The Inner Breath Realm and the Harmonization Realm were two different worlds, and Ling Wuxia’s reputation only rose when she entered the Harmonization Realm.
“Who’s that girl? So daring.”
“Yeah, she looks young too. Must be a newbie who doesn’t know where she stands.”
Streams of water soared into the sky like swords.
Lu Mingshu felt like there was Sword Intent everywhere. Wherever there was water, there were swords.
Fighting on the water was an advantage for Ye Family mbers. When she t Ye Zhenfan and the rest, it seed manageable because they weren’t good enough, but when she t Ye Zhenyan today, she realized how good their skills were.
No Physical Manifestation of Sword Intent was even needed at this point; the water was a sword, and the sword was water. Lu Mingshu felt like she was in a cage made of water.
However, Lu Mingshu would never wait helplessly for death.
Lu Mingshu waved her sword and dodged the attack.
Like a swallow, she grabbed her sword tightly and sent out an attack!
Clank—-!
The swords t, and Lu Mingshu retreated again.
Ye Zhenyan narrowed his eyes.
He had never seen soone like her, daring to play with a Ye Family mber on the water.
So what if she can adapt well? Water is the Ye Family’s territory. I even stand a chance to win against the Heavenly Sea Pavilion elites!
Ye Zhenyan went after her imdiately.
No matter where Lu Mingshu went, he was in front of her in the blink of an eye.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of sword energy clashing was intense as two figures danced on the water, fast and light.
“Eh, that girl isn’t bad.”
“Yeah, she isn’t falling behind too much!”
“Capable, but such a pity that she’s going against the Ye Family’s third young master.”
On the Ding family’s boat, Ah Ling bit her lips nervously as she watched the fight.
“Brother, would Miss Lu lose?” She tugged on Ah Lang’s sleeve.
Ah Lang looked at her helplessly. “How would I know? They’re both much more powerful than I am. You don’t understand it, but neither do I!”
Ah Ling turned to Captain Ding imdiately. “Grandpa?”
Captain Ding furrowed his brows. “I... don’t know. Ability-wise, Miss Lu doesn’t fall behind by too much, so she still stands a chance. But on water, the Ye Family’s Mystic Water Sword has a huge advantage.”
Ah Ling pouted. “The Ye Family disciple that day used the Mystic Water Sword too, but he lost anyway!”
“It’s not the sa. That disciple and this one are both in the Harmonization Realm, but the difference in their ability is very big!”
