My Arrogant Young Lady

“Wang Xi is not as good as Nie Xiaohai.” Li Bihui’s eyes shone as she looked at Nie Xiaohai, and she couldn’t help but admire this young master.

"The tenth move of the Gale Blade Technique, Breaking the Ground!" Seeing my skillful movements as I dodged his blade repeatedly, Nie Xiaohai, now possessed by demonic possession, no longer cared whether I was his sworn brother or not.

The man vanished into thin air. When Nie Xiaohai reappeared, he plunged his knife deep into the center of the arena.

At that moment, the entire arena shattered into pieces of stone as if destroyed. That was caused by his sword energy, his fierce and sharp sword energy.

If I were still standing on that stage, I would definitely be injured by the shockwave from his sword.

Thinking of this, I immediately leaped lightly. However, I had barely taken off when Nie Xiaohai appeared before me with a ferocious expression. His eyes had turned completely blue, and the blue dragon within his aura had seized the golden dragon within mine. Seeing the blue dragon swiftly bite into the golden dragon within my aura, he viciously kicked out at my waist, shouting, "Go!"

"Thirteen Bodyguards of the Horizontal Training!" His kick carried the force of a thousand pounds. If I were kicked away by him, I would definitely fly thirty meters away. If I really flew thirty meters away, then I would have lost.

I could only take his kick head-on. When facing a strong enemy, try to dodge; if you can't dodge, use your strong body to withstand the blow. This is my fundamental principle, a skill Leng Yan taught me. Thinking of this, I immediately tensed all my muscles.

When Nie Xiaohai kicked me in the waist, my entire body shone with golden light. Instantly, a tremendous force pierced through my feet. I struggled to resist the force, using my bare body to withstand it. But even so, I was still sent flying backward by his kick. I felt my body crash heavily off the ring, scraping a deep trench in the ground. My body quickly created a large mound of earth on the ground, and as I was about to go off the ring, I swiftly thrust the jade flute into the ground.

"Ah ...

Looking at his waist again, he saw that it had been kicked so hard by Nie Xiaohai that it was dented. Then his waist swelled up high, becoming unrecognizable.

"Die!" Seeing that I hadn't even managed to get off the stage, Nie Xiaohai sneered and slashed at me with his sword again.

My pupils contracted instantly, and I immediately raised my jade flute to block. I felt a tremendous force slam into my jade flute. My entire body caved in a little more into the ground. At the same time, I desperately channeled my inner energy into the jade flute to prevent it from being severed by Nie Xiaohai's divine weapon.

At that moment, Nie Xiaohai appeared above me. His precious sword pressed heavily against my jade flute, and his strength was indescribable. As Nie Xiaohai relentlessly pressed down on me, I couldn't help but roar. The golden dragon in my aura and the sea dragon in his aura tore at each other. I gritted my teeth and roared, "Go!"

Because of his immense force, the veins on my body bulged, and my muscles bulged violently. With all my might, I pushed him away and quickly disappeared into thin air, reappearing behind him.

"Nie Xiaohai, you're really savage when you transform. Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" I quickly swung the jade flute at his back, wanting to knock him straight off the stage.

However, Nie Xiaohai's swordsmanship was exquisite; his technique was like playing chess, calculating my next move with every step. With a simple flick of his blade behind his back, he easily blocked my jade flute. However, the flute technique my father passed down to me was no joke either. Like his swordsmanship, my flute technique also anticipated his next move. The shadows of the jade flute and his sword flashed in a blur, leaving all the onlookers pale with shock.

After a series of exchanges, we fought our way back from the edge of the ring to the center. We were both drenched in sweat. Suddenly, I brandished my jade flute and roared, "Nie Xiaohai, enter my formation!"

At this moment, Nie Xiaohai's eyes became blank. The illusion he had entered was the same as the illusions of A-San and Wang Huan, an environment created by human mental power. However, in this illusion, there were no shikigami or gods. There were only venomous snakes with fleshy growths on their heads, their figures moving as fast as lightning.

Even knowing it was fake, Nie Xiaohai couldn't help but swing his treasured sword rapidly. Meanwhile, I, able to catch my breath, hid in a corner of the arena, panting heavily.

However, I still didn't have a chance to ambush him. His swordsmanship was too exquisite; even when trapped in the illusion array, he still wielded the swordsmanship passed down from his father with impenetrable precision. If I were to use my finger techniques to strike his pressure points at this moment, my fingers would surely be severed by his sword.

After thinking for a moment, I picked up a golden playing card from my hand and sneered. Then, I flicked my index finger, and a golden light immediately spun rapidly towards him.

"Emperor Zhao's unique skill?" When I took out the golden playing card, Wang Yang's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Your son can actually use hidden weapons?" The Sword God Nie Feilong was surprised, even though he thought I was doomed to lose.

"Wouldn't it be better to be more versatile?" Wang Yang smiled.

However, Nie Xiaohai's swordsmanship was still too strong. When my golden playing card flew towards him, it was instantly sliced ​​in two. Undeterred, I conjured four or five more golden playing cards and flicked them with my index finger, sending them hurtling towards him. But these four or five cards were far from enough to harm him. I quickly conjured a large handful of cards and threw all the cards I had at him.

In that instant, the entire arena was filled with glittering golden playing cards. These cards, like boomerangs, danced in the air, making the entire arena resplendent in gold.

Seeing this, everyone gasped. Wang Yu and Li Bihui exchanged surprised glances. "With the combined use of hidden weapons and formations, even a top-tier expert in the Fusion stage wouldn't be my match."

With so many cards, even Nie Xiaohai's incredibly skillful swordsmanship was not enough to prevent him from being injured. When the first blood appeared on his body, he shuddered slightly. And when his swordsmanship faltered, three or four more bloody cuts appeared on his body. Then, more and more bloody cuts appeared on his body. Seeing that his swordsmanship was showing increasing weaknesses, I seized the opportunity and pointed a finger at him.

"Nie Xiaohai is going to lose!" Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but stand up.

"I will not lose! The twelfth move of the Gale Blade Technique, the Sky-Shattering Strike!" With a loud roar, Nie Xiaohai suddenly slashed fiercely at me with his blade.

I felt a tremendous blade aura almost tear through space, and a massive black wind swept towards me. His twelfth move shattered my formation and also destroyed all my hidden weapons. Since I had already launched a sneak attack, I was unable to dodge his fierce twelfth move.

I felt as if my body was being torn apart by something, and I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as I was thrown back to the ground. I landed heavily, my body feeling as if it had been ripped apart, and I had no strength left.

I couldn't help but open my eyes, and saw that my blood had flowed into a small river. A feeling of desolation washed over me at that moment.

The title of the world's number one martial arts master may fall into the hands of either Nie Xiaohai or Wang Yu.

Perhaps I will be unable to lead everyone against Oda Seiji...

Chapter 346 Never Give Up

Huff, huff, at this moment, the entire arena was silent. The only sound was Nie Xiaohai's heavy breathing. Because the twelfth move of the Gale Blade Technique, the Heaven-Shattering Strike, was extremely powerful, Nie Xiaohai had used almost all of his true energy to break my formation and defeat me. And after he had used up all his true energy, he had almost no strength left.

He was breathing heavily. His face was pale, and his body was slightly hunched. He was leaning on his sword, barely managing to stand in front of me and look at me.

"Wang Xi lost?" Looking at my battered and bruised appearance, Wang Yang couldn't help but frown slightly as he stood up. Although Nie Xiaohai seemed to have no strength left, I was in a much worse state than him. I was injured, almost killed by Nie Xiaohai with a single blow. Nie Xiaohai had no strength left to fight. I couldn't even stand up.

It's clear that I can no longer compete for the title of the world's number one martial arts master. Moreover, if I don't receive timely medical treatment, I might die here from excessive blood loss.

In this battle to determine the greatest martial artist in the world, Nie Xiaohai was acting out of loyalty to his father; he was not capable of leading everyone against Oda Seiji. Wang Yu was acting out of loyalty to his uncle. He came to thwart our plans. Only I truly wanted to lead everyone to defeat Oda Seiji. However, I failed my father's expectations.

Seeing that I was bleeding more and more, my father no longer cared about dealing with Oda Seiji. He only felt my breathing growing weaker and weaker, and immediately strode down from the stage, shouting, "Save me!"

"Quick, save him!" Hearing his father's words, the little hero immediately ran down from the stage. Soon, the crowd of experts watching began to descend into chaos. Although I had no connection with them, during this martial arts tournament, my father generously provided medicine to heal anyone who was injured. Whether it was one of our own, someone from another sect, someone from Aurora, or even the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain who had previously opposed us. Even if I didn't win the title of the world's number one expert, everyone already regarded our Wang family as the world's number one expert in their hearts. Before meeting my father, they only thought of him as a ruthless warlord, a tyrant of the underworld. But after getting to know him, they grew to admire his personal charisma more and more.

Immediately, someone said, "I have a family heirloom white medicine for stopping bleeding. Just apply it to the wound and it will be effective in one minute."

"I have a sect treasure called the Spirit Protection Pill, which can protect your young master's true energy."

"I'm good at setting bones. I'll go check on Wang Xi's bones. I hope there's nothing wrong with them, otherwise they'll heal more slowly."

"Brother!" An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, and Liu Li ran towards me quickly from the crowd. My brothers were also there, their faces pale and they looked very anxious.

"Useless things, are all the children in your Wang family this spoiled?" Seeing everyone's concern for me, Li Bihui curled her lips in disdain.

"Wang Xi, he is seriously injured," Wang Yu said coldly, sitting next to Li Bihui.

"Wang Yu, are you heartbroken?" Li Bihui asked Wang Yu in surprise.

Upon hearing Li Bihui's words, Wang Yu sneered, "Li Bihui, even if you are a descendant of the Li Dynasty, you are only on par with me. It is not your place to humiliate the Wang family. If you dare to humiliate the Wang family again, I, Wang Yu, will definitely teach you a lesson."

"Wang Yu, what do you mean? Just because you're a Heartbeat level expert, you think you're something special? Do you think I and Aurora are afraid of you?" Li Bihui was a little angry that Wang Yu actually defended her verbally.

"Heh..." Wang Yu glanced at Li Bihui with disdain and then stopped talking to her.

In terms of skill, he is the strongest young master in the world. No one can match him.

On the other side, seeing everyone rushing to my rescue, Nie Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief. Now, having exhausted his inner energy, he had reverted from his ferocious state to the weak and pitiful Nie Xiaohai he once was. Leaning on his sword, Nie Xiaohai said with a sigh of relief, "Brother Xi, that's enough. Even the houses in this ancient city would be shattered like a storm after taking this blow. And your forte is probably movement techniques and external martial arts, right? Your body is very strong, and you have a thick layer of inner energy protecting you. It's already quite good that you survived this blow. I'm sorry, we're sworn brothers, I shouldn't have used such a powerful sword technique to hurt you. But if I hadn't used my strongest sword technique, I really couldn't have defeated you. You should rest well, and I'll apologize to you as soon as I've recovered a bit."

"Hehe, swords have no eyes. Nie Xiaohai, if you consider me a brother, then don't say things like that." I smiled.

“Brother Xi…” Nie Xiaohai’s eyes changed after hearing my words.

However, just as everyone was about to reach me, I suddenly took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and said, "None of you should save me. I can still fight Nie Xiaohai!"

"What?" Wang Yang, who had been walking quickly towards me, was surprised upon hearing my words. Xiao Hao was surprised, Nie Xiaohai was surprised, Wang Yu couldn't help but stand up, and even Li Bihui glanced at me slightly. And those who were about to come to save me all stopped in their tracks.

Lying on the ground, I looked at the blood flowing down my body and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, I took another deep drag of my cigarette and said, "As long as I'm not dead, as long as I don't leave this arena, I won't admit defeat, and none of you can take me away. I haven't lost, I can still fight, I won't be defeated. I will definitely defeat this number one fighter in the world and lead everyone to fight against Oda Seiji."

"What!?" Hearing my words, everyone frowned even more deeply.

I have lost a lot of blood and can no longer fight. Everyone here is a martial arts master; they can tell my condition at a glance.

But... I still insisted on fighting again. If I insisted on fighting again, I knew I would still be no match for Nie Xiaohai. Furthermore, I would very likely die as a result, or suffer severe aftereffects, or lose all my martial arts skills.

"Wang Xi, don't push yourself. You're already injured. You can't fight anymore!" Old Gu Tongjia was skilled in alchemy and also proficient in medicine. After only sensing the faint aura emanating from me, Old Gu Tongjia immediately reprimanded me sternly.

“Brother Xi, although I exhausted my inner energy to defeat you, I will recover some strength if I rest for a while. You are already seriously injured, and even if you insist on standing up, you are no match for me. Brother Xi, why are you so stubborn?” Seeing that I still wanted to fight, Nie Xiaohai frowned at me.

Hearing Nie Xiaohai's words, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Why shouldn't a man carry a sword? Take over fifty states on the border. As long as we can defeat Oda Seiji and give everyone a peaceful world, what does it matter if I die in battle? Even if I die, I believe Xi'er will forgive me. Come on, I can fight again. Just have a smoke, and I'll be fully healed and back to normal. Come on, I don't believe you can defeat me when you stand before me."

"Wang Xi!" Upon hearing my words, An Yao couldn't help but call me by my full name.

"Sister, I can fight!" I gritted my teeth and started moving.

However, as soon as I tried to get up, it felt like all my muscles were bound together. I was in excruciating pain and couldn't help but scream in agony.

Pain, my body aches so much. Nie Xiaohai's knife almost severed all the tendons and ligaments in my body. I barely straightened my arm, and the pain made me feel like I wanted to die. I barely straightened my leg, and I screamed in pain again.

"Brother Xi, you can't fight anymore!" Seeing my pained expression, something flickered in Nie Xiaohai's eyes.

"Nie Xiaohai, how dare you look down on me! I, Wang Xi, will hate you for the rest of my life!" I roared.

"Alright, then I'll fight you!" Hearing my words, Nie Xiaohai's eyes reddened. Leaning on his sword, he laboriously walked towards me step by step. After only five steps, he collapsed to the ground with a thud due to exhaustion. He crawled a few steps, then, leaning on his sword again, roared and barely managed to stand up.

One step, two steps, three steps. As Nie Xiaohai drew closer and closer, I still couldn't stand up. Struck by his sharp blade, my muscles were engorged with blood and difficult to contract. And even the slightest movement caused me excruciating pain.

"Brother Xi, you're still a meter away from the edge of the ring. If I push you out of the ring, you'll lose." I said, leaning on my sword as I continued to push against Nie Xiaohai, who was two steps away from me.

"Nie Xiaohai, don't underestimate me!" Suddenly, I let out a roar like a dragon's cry. Gritting my teeth, I slammed my fists hard into my chest.

Every time I threw a punch, more blood flowed from my body. Seeing this, Tong Jia Lao Gu immediately said, "He's stimulating his damaged muscles, trying to revitalize them. But it's extremely painful. I've watched Wang Xi grow up since he was a child, and I know he's very strong, his bones are tough. But I didn't expect him to be this strong."

"Will doing this leave any lasting effects?" Wang Che asked, his eyes reddening.

"It's hard to say, but he needs to rest now, to rest without moving at all. If he forces his muscles to become fully active, he will definitely be a hundred times more in pain tomorrow than he is today," said Tong Jia Lao Gu.

Hearing Tong Jia and Lao Gu's words, Wang Yang seemed to age considerably. He recalled the shock he felt when he learned Qinghua was pregnant with his child. Back then, he was just a small-time hoodlum, an ordinary person. For him, being so young, caring for a child seemed so simple. But after discussion, they resolutely decided to let Qinghua give birth to the child. No matter how hard or tiring life might be, as long as Qinghua and Wang Xi could live a happy life, he felt it was all worthwhile.

He recalled the look of surprise on his face when he saw his son, and how he couldn't help but cry like a child.

Now, his child has grown into a grown man.

Even if Wang Xi loses today, he will always be his pride.

"Nie Xiaohai, let's fight again!" I endured the excruciating pain and finally stood up. At that moment, Nie Xiaohai was already standing in front of me.

"Brother Xi, why are you doing this to yourself!" With all his might, Nie Xiaohai swung the back of his sword hard at my waist. I felt a sudden lightness in my body, and then I was sent flying again.

"Brother Xi, you're making me look like the villain! Why won't you admit defeat? Is being number one really that important to you?" Knowing that letting me win was the greatest insult, Nie Xiaohai could only go all out against me. And as my body landed heavily on the ground, he swung his knife at me fiercely again.

"First place isn't important to me, but as long as my blood hasn't dried up, I absolutely cannot give up. If I were the kind of person who easily gives up when faced with difficulties, I probably wouldn't have the chance to stand here in this martial arts tournament today! I, Wang Xi, will never admit defeat!" With a loud roar, I rolled away to dodge Nie Xiaohai's treasured sword. Then, I charged heavily towards Nie Xiaohai…

Chapter 347 Defeat

With a snap, Nie Xiaohai's precious sword flew high into the air and slammed into the ground. At the same time, Nie Xiaohai and I rolled violently together. As soon as my body hit him, I raised my fist and punched him hard in the face. Then another punch; after just two punches, Nie Xiaohai's face immediately swelled up.

Nie Xiaohai's expression changed immediately after taking two punches from me. His eyes instantly turned red, and the aura that had vanished from his body gradually returned. He only glanced at me coldly before his muscles bulged. Normally, Nie Xiaohai was amiable, even cowardly, and easy to bully. But as soon as he got into a fight, he became a different person. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he wouldn't show mercy even to his own father.

Seeing that Nie Xiaohai was about to transform again, I had a bad feeling. I quickly and barely managed to gather a wisp of true energy. I then concentrated all the true energy I had managed to gather at my fingertips.

Then, she pressed on his chest acupoint.

However, just as my finger was about to touch his chest, Nie Xiaohai quickly grabbed it. One glance at his bloodshot, icy eyes made my finger snap upwards with a loud crack.

"Ah!!!" My fingers were almost broken. I couldn't help but scream in pain.

Nie Xiaohai glanced at me with a cold smile, then slapped me away with a powerful blow. He stood up and looked at me coldly, saying, "Wang Xi, I told you you're no match for me. I've only used up too much of my inner energy. A little rest will allow it to regenerate. But you are severely injured. You're just at your last gasp."

With a cold laugh, Nie Xiaohai walked towards me step by step. At this moment, because of the severe injury I had sustained, I had no strength left. I could only rely on my willpower to hold on and refuse to give up. I clutched my fingers, my eyes fixed on his every move.

"Wang Xi, how dare you hit me?" With a sneer, Nie Xiaohai walked up to me and lifted me up. Then, with a hook punch, he sent me flying.
