Chapter 41: Shi Yuan Spits Blood

  When Shi Yuan Er Lang was walking slowly, I cast a few probing spells, including the fastest and most perverted electric spell 'Thunder Fury Strike', but it didn't hit him. His speed is so fast that he can leave an afterimage on the ground. If he rushes over with all his might, it won't take one second!

  "Little kid, are you scared? Are you terrified? I'm going to play with you slowly until you die, tearing you into pieces bit by bit!" Ishihara Niwolf said viciously to me.

  "Idiot!" The poor Taoist replied disdainfully

  "Haha! Do you still have a way to win? If not, then let me teach you a lesson, you! You're the real idiot!" Shiina Shirou said, and in an instant, he appeared ten meters in front of me. With a swing of his sword, a black sword aura made of fighting spirit fiercely slashed towards me.

  The sword energy was aimed at my left shoulder, seemingly wanting to chop off my arm. My physical skills have never been lax, and every morning I practice fist and footwork without interruption. This sword energy is too simple for me, and before he even shot out the sword body, I recognized the direction of the attack from his hand movements. So I lightly swayed my body and dodged to the side, the shrill sword energy flying past my ear, heavily smashing into the wall behind me, making a loud "bang" sound, and opening up a hole about two feet deep in the wall.

  "Huh?" Shi Yuan Erlang asked in surprise: "Aren't you a law enforcement officer? How can you dodge it?"

  "Members of the Dragon Family! All of you have practiced, idiots!"

  Ishihara's anger turned into rage: "You think you can hide again?" He swung his sword, unleashing slash after slash of sword energy.

  The poor guy swiftly dodged past him while laughing and saying: "With such a stupid attack, you'd still be unable to touch even a single hair on my head even if you fought till nightfall!"

  Ishihara's anger intensified, and he stopped speaking. With his head down, he accelerated the speed and ferocity of his sword strikes, first slashing at my arms, then my chest and head, followed by my abdomen and legs. In the end, except for covering himself, he struck wherever he saw an opening against me.

  I'll give him a demonstration of my dodging skills, sinking my shoulders, shaking my head, and turning sideways. I always manage to dodge his attacks with the smallest movements, making it look like a game, while occasionally commenting negatively on his accuracy, "This swordsmanship is barely enough to kill a chicken, let alone a person!", "With such poor aim, are you chopping wood?", "Was it your teacher's wife who taught you?" and so on.

  The onlookers started counting down, 10, 11...

  At 100, the enraged Ishihara Niō let out a loud roar and, without regard for appearances, unleashed a massive sword energy from the middle that seemed to split both me and Gatts into two pieces.

  The poor Tao slapped the right side of Gai's head, and Gai, who had a tacit understanding, immediately jumped to the right, just avoiding the incoming sword energy!

  "Great!", "Beautiful!", "Too cool!" The audience stood up and cheered loudly for me!

  Ishihara's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at me, momentarily forgetting to move his hands!

  The parents on the platform also looked strange, and the mother asked: "What did you teach?"

  "No! I thought he was useless! Didn't expect him to have this trick up his sleeve!" Father said, "But it's still impossible to take down Shiina Shirou just like that!"

  "Will my son win?" his mother asked anxiously

  "It's definitely going to come back! Don't worry!" Father said, "From his evasive skills, this kid doesn't know how many things he's hiding from me! Let's worry about Shiina Shirou instead!"

  I'm aware of my own difficulties! Those few dodges just now have already consumed half of my spiritual energy, if I had ten more years and grew to adulthood, I could knock him down with just the Taiji Fist alone. But for now, it's not possible! With an eight-year-old child's body and strength, how can I possibly defeat him? Unable to match him in strength, I can only outsmart him! Thinking of the Crazy Transformation Pill, I've come up with a plan!

  Taking advantage of this fool's daze, I activated the spell sealed in my water ring - 'Misty Technique'. Immediately, a thick fog spread across the entire arena, so dense that you couldn't see your fingers in front of you! At the same time, I took out the Ice Wolf Summoning Staff given to me by my grandmother and summoned 12 ice wolves from within it, ordering them to scatter and run wildly, covering my actions.

  As expected, under the circumstances where he couldn't see anything, Ishihara Niō could only rely on his hearing to determine the direction. As soon as he heard the rustling sound of footsteps, he immediately rushed over and swung his sword wildly. The efficiency of a Sword Saint is indeed high! In just a few breaths' time, he had already slaughtered all 12 Ice Wolves.

  But that was enough time, I used the flying technique sealed in the Wind Ring - "Flight" on Gatts and so I rode on him and slowly floated up into the sky. The 7th level wind magic "Flight" is an upgrade of Float, it provides greater floating ability and mobility, but Gatts was too heavy, so this magic on him was more like a "Float", anyway, it still brought me to over 60 meters above ground.

  Ishihara didn't know! He was still rampaging below. From time to time, he cursed: "Bastard, come out if you dare! Coward!"

  The poor Tao just smiled and didn't bother with him, let him be depressed to death!

  "He's above you!" Ishihara Kuma shouted loudly, unable to care about appearances.

  "You scoundrel! You rascal!" Mother cursed: "Really don't know shame!"

  "Shut up, Ishihara Kuma!" The king also didn't want to be too biased, and severely said: "Next time, you'll be disqualified directly!"

  But it was too late, Ishihara's two wolves soared more than ten meters high, piercing through the dense fog that was less than ten meters high, and saw me in the sky. A slash of fighting spirit came flying over. But the slash of fighting spirit only flew out for less than 30 meters before dispersing. Only a sword god could slash over a hundred meters away, and he still couldn't do it!

  Ishihara tried three times like a flea, but it was still far from attacking me, so he gave up and started using language to attack me: "You damn bastard, how about you come down?"

  "Come on up!" said the poor Taoist

  "Come on! You clearly know I won't be able to go up!"

  "Haha! I see you're tired, so let's take a 20-minute break and then continue fighting!"

  "Why 20 minutes? You damn well come down now!"

  "Haha! The better the effect of the crazy medicine, the shorter the duration. You're using the highest grade stuff, but it can only last 30 minutes in battle, and then you'll be lying on the ground like a dead pig, waiting for me to slaughter you! Kid, are you scared? Are you terrified? I'm going to play with you slowly, tearing you apart piece by piece!" The poor monk imitated Ishihara's tone and sent his original words back to him.

  "You! Despicable! Shameless! You're not worthy of being a warrior!" Ishihara Nirō bellowed.

  The poor Tao didn't care at all, but instead said to Ishihara Kuma: "Your most excellent son is going to be finished, what a pity!"

  "You win, I give up!" Ishihara Kuma said reluctantly.

  "No way! When I admitted defeat just now, where were you? Now I still don't agree!" Mother said angrily.

  "What do you want?" Ishihara Kuma asked

  "You'd rather see your son dead!" his mother said viciously

  "Stop it, mom! This idiot is dead anyway, we're just venting our anger. Why not get something practical out of this instead? Don't let the gold coins go to waste!" The poor Daoist tried to mediate: "Shi Yuan, I've always been kind to others and don't want to accumulate bad karma. If you can show some sincerity and move my mother's heart, your husband might be spared!"

  "This!" In the face of extortion, Ishihara Kuma began to hesitate.

  "Less, I won't do it!" said Mom.

  "Right now, it's only been 10 minutes since he went berserk. If the High Priest intervenes to treat him, his injuries won't be too severe. However, if they delay any further, they'll only be able to collect his corpse!"

  "I'd pay 200 million to take his life, if it's more than that then let him die!" It seems that Ishihara Kuma II couldn't bear to part with the most outstanding child of the Ishihara family.

  "It's too little! Only 200,000, what can you do with that?" Mother said discontentedly.

  This amount of money is absolutely a huge sum, equivalent to the ransom for capturing a marquis in war. Now Shiina no Kōzō is just a viscount.

  "Alright! I agree! Mother! Promise me!" The poor Taoist advised: "We must show the nobility's magnanimity!"

  "Never mind, let's just pity these poor devils!"

  Ishihara Kumaji spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
