Chapter 234 – You’re here, so come on!
Chapter 234 – You’re here, so come on!
Liu Ye Han shook his head and said, "Forget about sparring, I don't want my cousin saying I bullied you."
The only reason he came was because Liu Yanping dragged him over to make up the numbers.
He would never believe that a Junior Brother at the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm could give him pointers on sword techniques.
And for a thousand Spirit Stones...
Liu Ye Han thought his cousin must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
No, she must have fallen for a pretty boy!
To be fair, the guy opposite did have good looks, quite handsome even.
But his intentions were questionable, and he seemed like a gigolo.
Liu Ye Han looked down on Meng Fan and naturally didn't want to spar with him.
Meng Fan felt a bit helpless. He didn't expect that even now, people would still look down on him.
It seemed he had been too low-key!
But this was a good thing; Meng Fan would continue to keep a low profile.
"Senior Brother Liu, since you're already here, how about this: if my sword technique is inferior to yours, then I naturally have no right to give you pointers.
If I waste your time, I'll compensate you with a thousand Spirit Stones!
But if I happen to surpass you in sword technique and can help you improve, then you pay me two thousand Spirit Stones. How about that?"
Meng Fan looked Liu Ye Han straight in the eye and said seriously.
Liu Yanping, standing to the side, secretly gave Meng Fan a thumbs-up.
This move... excellent!
She could already imagine the scene of her cousin handing over two thousand Spirit Stones.
It seemed a bit like she was siding with an outsider.
Liu Ye Han, standing opposite Meng Fan, frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable under Meng Fan's direct gaze.
"Fine, I'll test your skills. If you're a fraud, at least I won't be wasting my time!" Liu Ye Han said to Meng Fan.
Although he looked down on sparring with Meng Fan, ending this quickly would be best.
It would save him from being pestered by that girl Liu Yanping again!
And as her cousin, he had the duty to let her see this pretty boy's true colors.
To be fair, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm could easily fool a young girl at the True Martial Realm like Liu Yanping.
But trying to pull the same trick on him would be asking for trouble!
"Clang~~~" The long sword behind Liu Ye Han unsheathed and hovered in front of him.
He didn't hold the sword, but it floated quietly in mid-air.
Meng Fan remained expressionless. Such a technique might amaze newbies, but at their level, it was basic.
"Junior Disciple Meng, go ahead, I'll let you make the first move," Liu Ye Han said with a dignified air.
Meng Fan immediately smiled.
Behind him, Liu Yanping couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Her cousin was being so arrogant now, but he would be equally embarrassed later.
She knew her cousin was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, close to the Condensation Pill Realm, but she also knew Meng Fan's terrifying strength.
Senior Sister Ye, who was also at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, had been utterly suppressed by Meng Fan!
"Senior Brother Liu, you first. I'd like to see your sword technique so I can give you pointers later," Meng Fan said politely.
"Arrogant!" Liu Ye Han was a bit angry, as Meng Fan's attitude clearly underestimated him.
To be fair, what right did a Junior Brother at the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm have to look down on him?
Just because Liu Yanping, that ignorant girl, praised him a few times, did he really think he was something?
"Fine, if you're asking for it, I'll oblige!"
As soon as Liu Ye Han finished speaking, the spiritual sword in front of him turned into a streak of light, shooting towards Meng Fan.
Meng Fan's expression remained calm, standing still as he carefully observed Liu Ye Han's sword strike.
From Meng Fan's perspective, Liu Ye Han's sword seemed to slow down tenfold.
0.1x speed!
"Aurora Sword Technique"
Aurora Sword Intent.
In just an instant, Meng Fan saw through the strike, identifying at least seven or eight flaws.
Liu Ye Han was likely also a disciple of the Alchemy Hall and not very proficient in sword techniques.
However, for someone from the Alchemy Hall to cultivate their sword technique to this level was already impressive.
Comparable to Ye Qingyu from before, their sword techniques were somewhat lacking, even though they had mastered Sword Intent!
Meng Fan remained as still as a mountain, while Liu Ye Han's long sword drew closer, aiming for his forehead.
Damn!
Liu Ye Han's expression changed.
Seeing Meng Fan like this, he thought Meng Fan was scared stiff.
In a panic, he quickly redirected the sword from Meng Fan's forehead to his shoulder.
If the sword pierced Meng Fan's forehead and killed him, it would be a huge problem.
Earlier, seeing Meng Fan's confident demeanor, he thought Meng Fan could handle it and didn't hold back much.
He didn't expect the kid to be bluffing and get scared stiff, making him look down on Meng Fan even more.
Just as he was redirecting the flying sword from Meng Fan's forehead to his shoulder, Meng Fan suddenly moved.
Meng Fan's feet remained firmly planted, but he extended a hand.
To be precise, he extended two fingers.
"Buzz~~~"
With pinpoint accuracy, Meng Fan's two fingers caught the tip of Liu Ye Han's sword.
Liu Ye Han frowned. He was controlling the sword with his Divine Sense, using a technique similar to the Sword Flight Art.
But at that moment, he felt his Divine Sense tremble, losing control.
In the next second, Meng Fan flicked his two fingers, sending Liu Ye Han's sword shooting back towards him.
As the sword flew towards Liu Ye Han, an immense pressure emanated from it.
Liu Ye Han was horrified, feeling locked in place by an inexplicable force, unable to move.
At that moment, he was like a sitting duck!
Most importantly, he sensed a familiar aura from the pressure.
He vaguely guessed that this was the Aurora Sword Momentum he had been pursuing but never mastered!
This kid actually knew the Aurora Sword Momentum!
How could it be so coincidental?
But that wasn't the main issue now; the main issue was the sword flying towards him—his own sword.
If that sword struck, he would be gravely injured if not dead!
Fortunately, this was just a spar.
Meng Fan had no intention of killing or even injuring him.
The sword grazed Liu Ye Han's scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair.
Liu Ye Han stood there, pale, taking several breaths to recover.
Not far away, Liu Yanping covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. She had anticipated this outcome.
Her own brother, Liu Changyuan, was more reliable and quickly stood by Liu Ye Han's side, supporting him by the shoulder. "Cousin, are you alright?"
Liu Ye Han forced a smile, which in this situation, was more of a grimace.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Junior Disciple Meng was very measured in his actions!"
At that moment, it was noon, and the punctual Ye Qingyu arrived at Liu Yanping's courtyard.
