Chapter 98: The Perilous Forest
"When you think I'm all about theory, in fact, I'm a practitioner."
This was the impression Tang Xian currently gave.
Rensheng Yeyi watched Sarutobi Sasuke struggling to rise from the ground, his expression growing solemn.
The slap didn't seem particularly remarkable, and its speed was within Sarutobi's range of reaction, but it was precisely because of this that Sarutobi Sasuke was careless. Your journey continues at empire
And such an ordinary slap was able to send Sarutobi, covered in alloy armor over his muscles, flying over six meters.
The strength of it seemed oddly excessive.
Rensheng Yeyi had also been a top student when he was in school.
He couldn't imagine how such a soft slap, which couldn't even raise a breeze, could defy the mechanical principles he knew.
It felt like some people couldn't keep their secrets buried anymore.
"Playing the pig to eat the tiger, do you Huaxia people love this trick?"
"Who's playing the pig to eat the tiger? I've formally declared I'm very powerful. Besides, only idiots resort to regional and national insults."
Tang Xian found these people really lacked manners. Just fight if you want to fight, why resort to trash talk?
Rensheng Yeyi drew his samurai sword, his eyes revealing absolute murderous intent.
"I will not underestimate you."
Gong Kun and his companions watched as Sarutobi Sasuke finally began to rise slowly, their hearts surging with shock.
Seeing Tang Xian send a ninja of the Sky Guardian Fortress flying with a single strike filled them with hope.
A difficult task was now before Tang Xian.
The slap just now made his adversaries wary of underestimating him.
Although he was in an invincible position, in terms of physical strength and speed, he was ultimately just a normal human.
Once the opponent began to guard against his attacks, it would be very hard to land a hit.
He possessed an attack power that his opponents could not defend against and an absolute defensive power that prevented him from getting injured, yet he lacked the ability to match their speed.
Rensheng Yeyi launched an arc-like Sword-drawing Slash, a brief crouch followed by an explosive burst of speed!
This was his strongest move, the Iaido Skill.
Tang Xian only saw the fierce look in the opponent's eyes, and the next second, a blinding flash of the sword passed by.
He reacted swiftly, eager to catch the opponent quickly.
But while his mind kept up, his hands couldn't, and as he tried to grab the sword barehanded, Rensheng Yeyi's figure had already reached two yards behind Tang Xian.
The wind stirred the sword's qi, and the power of the slash bloomed instantaneously, like a flower unfolding.
Rensheng Yeyi returned the sword to its scabbard, the clanging sound resonating like a dragon's roar or a tiger's growl.
The surrounding Hundred-Handed Wood, along with the fence of Tang Xian's outer courtyard, were instantly cut through.
The tree stumps of the Hundred-Handed Wood outside the courtyard slid down diagonally, the large branches kicking up a cloud of dust and broken grass.
Conveniently falling near Tang Xian, the outer courtyard swirled with smoke and mist.
Gong Kun's eyes widened in horror as he watched the Iaido Skill that had just been executed.
If it had hit a vital spot, even a perfect-level creature with a strong defensive shell could suffer significant damage from that single stroke.
The wind began to settle slowly.
Rensheng Yeyi furrowed his brows, because there was no blood on the blade.
A coughing sound came through the air.
Tang Xian patted the dust off his body, looking somewhat distressed at the fence that Dong Ran had made.
Fortunately, the Hundred-Handed Wood where Li Xiaoyu and Tang Xiaojiu stayed was deep in the inner courtyard, and that slash had only cut through the Hundred-Handed Wood in the outer courtyard.
But even so, Tang Xian felt that suddenly breaking a tree ruined the aesthetic, particularly when the fence was cut through, which made Tang Xian quite uncomfortable. Dong Ran's labor might be inexhaustible, but that didn't mean her hard work wasn't valuable.
A slash had opened up in his clothing at the waist, and Tang Xian felt that, grimy and with torn clothes, he must look like a beggar.
So annoying, encountering such an unreasonable bunch.
Tang Xian emerged again into everyone's sight, frowning.
No injuries to speak of, just his clothes torn.
Sarutobi Sasuke watched incredulously at the scene.
That single slash was Rensheng Yeyi's coup de grâce, which could even severely injure a perfect-level creature with a strong defensive attribute like a shell.
But after the dust settled, this peculiar man still stood in his place, not having moved an inch. It was downright incredible.
Not only the people of Sky Guardian Fortress were shocked, but so were Gong Kun and others, as well as Li Xiaoyu, who had been anxiously watching from the wooden house.
Li Xiaoyu thought blankly: Could it be that Tang Xian really has talent? Did he intentionally fill in some wrong data years ago for personal reasons?
She was increasingly convinced this might be the case.
Ever since Tang Xian showed strength that surpassed even Eve's, Li Xiaoyu suddenly realized that even after observing this man for six years… in truth, she only knew some of his habits.
But this man was still full of secrets. Once the fight ended, she definitely needed to find Tang Xian and get some answers.
But first, she wanted to figure out who these two girls were. This was what Li Xiaoyu thought.
Then, Tang Xian remembered something.
During his testing with Dong Ran, a prompt had sounded in his mind.
"[Unable to kill the target, cannot acquire skill.]"
He had originally thought that killing one's own kind could grant skills, but it seemed that the experimental subjects from the Evolution Zone were not like that.
"Perhaps the experimental subjects are special, and you guys aren't from the Evolution Zone, and are purely humans, there might be unexpected gains," Tang Xian murmured to himself softly.
Rensheng Yeyi drew his sword again, facing the threat with the seriousness it deserved, yet he was also excited; it was the first time someone had managed to catch his Iaido Skill head-on.
