BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
43 - Courage

Chu Kai could not hide his surprise. The red-haired girl who was currently on the second floor of a building was Xue Xiaowen, a figure who had already made a mess in Lianyi City, Wushi Mountain Sect, including the person who poisoned Xia Ling Qing.

Wei Zhang Zihan held Xia Ling Qing's hand as he sensed that this girl was about to dart towards Xue Xiaowen. His voice was low as he spoke.

Wei Zhang Zihan said, "Hate whatever you have for him, but things should not get any more chaotic. So stay here,"

Xia Ling Qing clenched his hands and held back the growl. His internal injuries were quite severe as he faced a person like Xiao Mu Zheng in his body when exposed to cold poison.

Xue Xiaowen herself was smiling. He looked at Xia Ling Qing and said calmly, "Wei Zhang Zihan's Swordsman is much better than you. He can be wise and mature to deal with this situation. To be honest, Miss Xia, do you think that you will be able to get out of this place alive?"

Xue Xiaowen said, "You've offended Master Xiao Mu Zheng. It is your compassion that makes you still have life today. But I am this... Not as good as Mister Xiao Mu Zheng. I could have forgotten and killed you instead,"

"You!"

"He's just provoking you. Don't be affected," Wei Zhang Zihan embraced Xia Ling Qing's arm. He held this girl back from being reckless and doing nothing.

"Miss Xue Xiaowen..!" the cry of Chu Kai that was so sudden made Tang Lian startled and instead invited the attention of the people.

All eyes were directed at him. Chu Kai inwardly felt nervous, but he had to do something. This was the moment where he was replying to Xia Ling Qing's good deeds. This was a chance for him to save the holy warrior.

"My brothers..." Tang Lian was late to stop Chu Kai. The young man had already walked up and climbed onto the arena stage.

Xue Xiaowen watched Chu Kai. He seemed to be crossing his arms and not only was he staring disdainfully, but also the other warriors who were in this place.

Chu Kai looked towards Xiao Mu Zheng and then fused his hands together. He bowed respectfully and made Xia Ling Qing, Wei Zhang Zihan, and the others flinch. Xiao Mu Zheng had not expected the actions of the young man whose hands were wrapped in bandages.

Chu Kai opened his voice, "I apologize to Master Xiao Mu Zheng. Miss Xia Ling Qing acknowledged the thing she did not do for protecting me. My name is Kai and I'm the one who killed your sect members,"

!!

Chu Kai looked at the second floor, right at Xue Xiaowen and said. "I'm also the one who killed sect member Miss Xue Xiaowen and with my body condition... Miss already knew it clearly."

Chu Kai breathed slowly, "The reason I killed them is only one. Survive. I am a waiter who lives in an ordinary tavern, completely unaware of the rules of the world. But one thing I understand correctly, 'someone has to survive in this harsh world'."

"Both sect member Mr. Mu Zheng and sect member Miss Xue Xiaowen... They want my life" Chu Kai said. "I don't know when to offend them, but one I can say. They died of belittling... This Dragon Warrior."

!!

"Kai..." Wei Zhang Zihan looked at the natural green-eyed young man in front of him. He had clearly been jolted from having only the first time he had seen Chu Kai behave like this. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Xiaowen's light laughing voice sounded.

"It's great..." Xue Xiaowen tore the curtain beside her and snorted, "Dragon Swordsman, huh? What makes you think you deserve that title?"

"................." Chu Kai extended a hand. He took off the bandage that wrapped his head.

There was still wet blood on the bandage, but the wound on Chu Kai's head was no longer visible. The young man with a scratch scar on his temple was staring towards Xue Xiaowen.

Chu Kai said without a tone, "That which makes me think deserves that title... Maybe because I can knock Miss out of where you are now."

Xue Xiaowen was shocked. There was a sudden feeling of pressure, but it only lasted for a moment. Although no one else felt that way and he himself only felt it for a moment, but it was clearly a shock.

Chu Kai put his hands together and again said, "Chu Kai from the Wushi Mountain Sect asked Miss Xue Xiaowen for guidance."

!!!

Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing were shocked. Tang Lian and the warriors present in this place were similarly shocked. They felt the atmosphere become different just because of the speech of the foreign youth.

"Hopefully you don't regret your actions," Xue Xiaowen darted down and a shock wind was created as her feet stepped on the arena floor.

Duan Lou Wu exhaled and said, "Since this is a request for guidance and Miss Xue Xiaowen accepted it, then there is no reason for me to stop this. I only have one rule, no opponent can die."

Xia Ling Qing held firmly onto Wei Zhang Zihan's arm. He snapped, "Kai..! What the hell are you doing? Why are you doing this kind of thing?!"

"Miss Xia. You said I had to prove myself, right? I don't know anything about the conference, but for me.. This is the way I can repay your kindness." Chu Kai looked at Xia Ling Qing for a moment before turning his gaze to Xiao Mu Zheng.

Chu Kai politely said, "If you don't mind. I also hope to get some guidance from Master Xiao Mu Zheng,"

!!

Wei Zhang Zihan was shocked, "Kai..! You-"

"Hmph," Xiao Mu Zheng was actually jolted because this young man also intended to challenge himself. He stared intently at the subject in front of him, but all he saw was the face of a figure who felt no fear at all.

Xue Xiaowen laughed and made attention focus on him. He stepped up and simultaneously, the clattering sound of his anklets sounded. The red-haired beauty watched Chu Kai before opening her voice.

Xue Xiaowen said, "I don't know where the Wushi Mountain Sect got a fool like you from. You certainly can't withstand a single move from me and now you want guidance from Master Xiao Mu Zheng? I don't know if you're too confident... Or is it really stupid?"

Xue Xiaowen turned her head towards Xiao Mu Zheng and politely said, "Master Xiao Mu Zheng. You don't have to listen to this young warrior's words. To him... She should've been so proud because I accepted to give her some guidance,"

Xia Ling Qing could not let Chu Kai fight with Xue Xiaowen. The girl was extremely cunning and was a dangerous poison user. But his condition is not good right now.

"Zhang Zihan," Xia Ling Qing opened his voice. "You're stopping him now. Kai can't fight Xiaowen,"

"But..."

"Aren't you listening to me?!" Xia Ling Qing coughed in blood and made Wei Zhang Zihan flinch. He tried to shake the young man's hand, but Wei Zhang Zihan apologized and carried him.

Wei Zhang Zihan jumped down the arena. He also did not want Chu Kai to fight with Xue Xiaowen, but somehow his premonition seemed to say that he had to trust the young man.

Chu Kai had said before that it was he who had already killed the members of the Xue Xiaowen sect and also took the lives of the members from Xiao Mu Zheng.

The arena stage was now only filled by two people, they were none other than Xue Xiaowen and Chu Kai himself. The other warriors, including Tang Lian, were outside the arena and seemed focused on watching the two people who were going to fight each other.

Chu Kai was seen holding his sword, but upon seeing Xue Xiaowen wearing only a shawl - he seemed to frown.

Xue Xiaowen herself seemed to flinch when Chu Kai suddenly threw his sword out of the arena and began to release a bit of the bandage in both hands. He nonchalantly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Miss Xue doesn't wear a sword. So I don't think I'm gonna wear it either,"

"Huh, you think by using the sword while I'm not-and you can just beat me?"

"Mrs. I'm just worried that Miss will protest when she loses later,"

"Bebah." Xue Xiaowen waved and instantly an attack shot out, right towards her opponent.

!!

Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan were shocked. They knew the limits of Chu Kai's abilities and the attack was impossible to avoid. Chu Kai had never practiced on how to withstand a deep power attack and anyone knew the young man's practice was too low to be legible.

It was a pity that Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan were wrong. Chu Kai was seen to be able to withstand the deep power attack that Xue Xiaowen had thrown at him, even with just one hand.

"Good, Kai." Tang Lian clenched her hands and was so excited. He was the only person who seemed excited to see this.

For Tang Lian, this was a rare opportunity where she could witness the true abilities of a Dragon Swordsman. For him, if he cannot read one's practice - then it is not because the person has a low practice, but because the person's practice is too high to be readable.

Xue Xiaowen looked annoyed. He had previously said that Chu Kai would not necessarily be able to withstand a single attack from him, but what the heck?! The attack from the inner power just now should be able to silence this young man, but what happened was that Chu Kai seemed to be fine.

"My-laughing..!" Xue Xiaowen flashed two red scarves of hers and at the same time was able to be avoided by the opponent.

!!

The shawl hit the arena floor until a loud sound was heard and another shawl was in the air to create a shock wind that hit the wall outside the arena.

Xue Xiaowen sped up. He sheathed his hand and the shawl came back. This time there were three red scarves. Chu Kai evaded two of them, while for one such shawl - he fended off wearing a bandage that was glued in a manner mimicking Xue Xiaowen's movements.

Tang Lian widened her eyes. He was shocked because the impact of Chu Kai's bandage when it collided with Xue Xiaowen's scarf was much larger. The swordsman from the Dead Moon Sect was pushed back and coughed, as if he had a deep wound.

Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan were surprised. From Chu Kai's movements, the young man clearly recalled what Xia Ling Qing had taught him. Chu Kai could tell Xue Xiaowen's next move as he watched her opponent's posture and shoulder movements.

"Zhang Zihan, did you teach him?" Xia Ling Qing opened his voice.

"Absolutely not. Aren't you the one who gave him guidance?"

Xia Ling Qing looked at Wei Zhang Zihan before turning his gaze to the place where Chu Kai was. The naturally green-eyed youth was seen back exchanging attacks with Xue Xiaowen.

Their fight was fierce, but the most unbelievable was Xue Xiaowen's desperate position. The red-haired girl herself was clearly the one who was the most shocked.

How could he who was at the end of the Worldly Cultivation Level be urged to be in a holding position?! Not even just three moves, he had already deployed over ten attack techniques and this opponent was completely unharmed. It is precisely when the attacking opponent-he is the one who is pushed back.

"Impossible..!" Xue Xiaowen could not accept this kind of humiliation. He also threw a secret weapon that was a type of poisonous needle towards his opponent.

!!!

"Dragon Breathing Technique... Light Blowing." Chu Kai used his right fist which made Xue Xiaowen's poisonous needle bounce off and hit the wall very hard.

Not only that, Xue Xiaowen was also hit by an attack that made her vomit blood. Everyone was shocked, including Chang'An City leader and Xiao Mu Zheng.

"What attack is that?"

"What is the kind of inner energy?"

"I don't know. It's the first time I've seen his attack technique,"

"That's great," Tang Lian looked so amazed and not only was she interested in Chu Kai, but also some of the warriors on the second floor.

One of the silhouettes of the swordsman on the second floor seemed to be tightly holding a spear. On the other hand, there was also a swordsman whose face was covered in darkness-but not with a line of his smile.

".............." Just one strike from Chu Kai and Xue Xiaowen seemed unable to fight anymore. The girl was angry, but she was unable to do anything due to her internal injuries.

Xiao Mu Zheng was annoyed but after seeing Chu Kai's fight just now, he felt that it was not good to act rashly. He did not know much about the talent of this young man and to be honest he could not read Chu Kai's cultivation practice either.

Originally Xiao Mu Zheng was just like the other warriors, he also considered Chu Kai's practice to be too weak to be legible. But after seeing the deep wounds that Xue Xiaowen had gone through, he felt that this young man was not what he had imagined.

Chu Kai himself was seen trying to catch his breath. Inwardly he was grateful that Xue Xiaowen was still alive. To be honest, he was a bit of a let-off and instead let out the Dragon Breathing Technique. Luckily the attack was fairly light even though it still made the opponent suffered internal injuries.

Chu Kai was just about to open his voice when someone from the second floor sped up and stepped on the arena floor. The subject was wearing a red dress with a moon orchid pattern. From the crescent moon mark on his forehead, he was clearly a member of Xue Xiaowen.

"Li Guan Xing of the Dead Moon Sect, please guide the Dragon Swordsman."

"What?" Chu Kai was shocked. The swordsman in front of him just suddenly took out a sword and immediately shot towards him. The incident also shocked everyone.
