Chapter 709: Two on Two
The two men and two women shuttled back and forth, turning the front courtyard into a warzone. The ground was cracked and cratered, crisscrossed with shallow ditches and deep slices. The air rippled from the force of their bodies colliding together with terrifying force, filling the area with loud booms and gusts of wind, caused by the rapid motion of their bodies. Sage was unsurprised by these proceedings. What actually caught his eye was that even though they were engaging in such fierce combat, none of the four forgot to take care of their clothing.
With such intense impacts, a mere set of clothing could easily be blown into pieces if it was close to combat for too long. Of course, no fighter wanted their clothing to be shattered to pieces in a fight and leaving them battling in the nude. It may not affect their combat ability, but it would definitely have an effect on their reputation. In order to prevent this terrible situation, Cultivators had long ago learned to cover their bodies with a layer of their Qi. Not only did this enhance their defenses and other physical qualities, it also protected their clothing from damage. The issue was that the more intense the battle became, the less energy a Cultivator would have to spare upon protecting their clothing.
Sage was quite pleased to see that each of these four were going all out in maintaining the layers of Qi around their body at a high level to ensure their outfits werent ruined. When their fists and feet impacted against the body of their opponent, they struck a layer of Qi and not the fragile clothing. The garments were not created of mortal materials, but that only meant they would be ripped or torn by repeated hits and not instantly destroyed from the first strike if they werent actively trying to defend them.
As the battle progressed, the fighting styles of the four became more apparent. Baozhai was a real brawler, but she used the reach of her long legs to give others a headache in close quarters. She made people fight her up close, but then stayed just slightly out of reach of fist and palm experts by using her legs. Her opponents didnt use any weapons so they didnt get to see how she handled that situation. Songji on the other hand, used some sort of marvelous movement technique to leap through shadows to make sneak attacks and catch her opponent off guard. Facing off against them, the thin and scholarly man seemed to be an expert at evaluating his opponents. He was outmatched by either of the women, but he seemed to find the weak points of their attacks, always putting himself in the place where hed take the least damage or be the hardest to strike. The other man was almost a polar opposite, fighting with pure ferocity. What he lacked in subtlety or cunning, he made up for with unrelenting chains of attacks. His fingers curled into claws and he slashed repeatedly, using offense as defense, at least until he got tired. Then the large man curled up defensively and got pummeled by Baozhai for a while.
Even so, these feats of strength and balance didnt seem to impress Ruanfu. She merely nodded her head, You are almost as good as a monkey.
Sage and the other two men stifled their laughter and shared a few glances. They wanted to correct Ruanfu but kept their mouths shut. For his part, the man performing didnt take it as an insult. He actually laughed, I really do have a bit of work to do in order to reach their high level.
Then he bicycled his legs while circling around the end of the pole before flipping back onto it and balancing on his toes. Taking his game to the next level, he leapt up into the air and did a cartwheel in mid-air before landing on the tip of the pole with his other foot. Then he jumped and performed a double front flip, spinning till his back was towards the pole and catching himself with one hand stretched out backwards. He pulled hard and tossed himself back up into the air, doing a juggling act with his own body.
Ruanfu stopped at this point to lift her hand and yawn.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
