Chapter 108 Lu Xiaobai vs. "Yun"?
The next day, at the Longhushan competition venue, the stands were already packed with people, and the buzzing discussions were as noisy as cicadas in summer.
"Hey, who do you think will win this match?"
A man in a t-shirt was cracking sunflower seeds and nudged his companion next to him with his elbow.
"Is that even a question? It's definitely Lu Xiaobai!" His companion exclaimed, spitting as he spoke. "Didn't you see how badly Wang Ye was manipulated yesterday? He was exhausted to the point of collapsing on the ground, and he didn't even manage to touch the hem of Lu Xiaobai's clothes!"
A tall, thin man nearby overheard this and scoffed, interjecting, "Heh, that's not necessarily true. I went to another show yesterday, and that guy named Yun, wow, he totally crushed Jia Zhengliang!"
"Really, the match was over in the blink of an eye!"
"What the hell?!"
These words were like cold water poured into a boiling oil pan, instantly causing a commotion of gasps and exclamations.
All the heads around looked over.
"Jia Zhengliang? That Jia family's genius in artifact manipulation, whose odds were the same as Zhang Lingyu's? He got wiped out in a flash?!"
On the other side, Zhang Chulan listened intently to all the surrounding discussions, and his heart skipped a beat.
He had heard of Jia Zhengliang's strength, and even if he were to face him, it would likely be a tough battle.
Instantly defeated? What's the background of this cloud?
Xu Si, who was standing next to him, had a cigarette in his mouth and frowned as he said, "I don't know, that incident was really weird."
"When I watched the playback later, I still couldn't figure it out."
"Jia Zhengliang was like he was possessed. He stood there motionless from the start, and then Yun walked over and gently knocked him unconscious with the back of his knife, like he was throwing the match."
He exhaled a smoke ring, his expression somewhat serious.
But he immediately reverted to his carefree demeanor, patting Zhang Chulan on the shoulder: "Hehe, what are you worrying about?"
"Don't you know how strong Xiaobai is? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
"You should think carefully about how to deal with your Tang Wenlong. Just prepare to have Xiaobai act in a play for you in the fifth scene, and that will be the end of it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan realized that it was true; he had been worrying about things that weren't his business.
With Lu Xiaobai's unpredictable magic, let alone a cloud, even if the Ten Elders personally intervened, they probably wouldn't fare well.
He scratched his head, chuckled twice, and put his worries out of his mind.
"The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, the quarterfinals, fourth match: Lu Xiaobai versus Yun! Both contestants, please enter the arena!"
The referee's powerful voice resounded throughout the field.
Lu Xiaobai appeared at one end of the venue, his signature white trench coat fluttering even without wind, his face still expressionless.
He first glanced at the stands and saw Lu Linglong puffing out her cheeks, glaring fiercely at the group of "Lu Xiaobai Fan Club" members next to her who were holding banners and screaming. Her eyes were practically spitting fire.
He glanced at Xu Si and Zhang Chulan again, and finally his gaze fell on his opponent, "Yun," who was slowly walking into the arena.
"Both players enter the arena, the match begins!"
Whoosh—!
The moment the referee finished speaking, "Cloud" launched a fierce attack!
He instantly drew two long swords with both hands, crossed them in front of him, and slashed forward fiercely!
Sizzle—!
The air seemed to be torn apart!
Two incredibly condensed, visible silver-white slashing waves, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, slashed rapidly toward Lu Xiaobai in a huge "X" shape!
Wherever it passed, the ground was marked with shallow traces by the scattered sharpness.
Lu Xiaobai's eyes narrowed, and with a light step, his figure blurred instantly, retreating rapidly to the side and back like a ghost!
The two fierce slashes barely grazed his clothes before slamming into the ground behind him!
boom!
Dust flew everywhere! Smoke billowed!
Two terrifying cracks, each ten meters long and seemingly bottomless, suddenly appeared on the ground!
"Holy crap!" A collective gasp rippled through the stands.
The power of this strike far exceeded everyone's expectations!
Without pausing for the moment after missing his first strike, "Yun" suddenly pushed off with all his might!
boom!
The ground slightly sank, and he shot towards Lu Xiaobai like an arrow released from a bow!
As he wielded his twin blades, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, the blade light flowed like mercury, instantly enveloping Lu Xiaobai's vital points!
Ding Ding Ding!
Clang!
Lu Xiaobai's figure moved like a small boat in a storm amidst the dense flashes of sword light. It seemed dangerous, but he always managed to dodge with the slightest movement.
Only when he absolutely cannot avoid it will he raise his hand and instantly conjure a semi-transparent shield that flashes with magical runes to block.
The blade struck the shield, exploding into bursts of blinding sparks and energy fragments.
But Lu Xiaobai never fought back, only dodging and blocking.
Deep within his icy blue right eye, magic swirled rapidly like a vortex, locking onto the frantically attacking "cloud," as if desperately analyzing and confirming something.
Bang-!
Another powerful and heavy slash!
The Qi gathered on the blade of "Cloud" suddenly surged and slashed fiercely at the reinforced shield that Lu Xiaobai had hastily conjured. This time, the shield failed to fully absorb the terrifying power, let out a mournful cry of being overwhelmed, and was instantly covered with cracks before exploding with a bang!
The enormous impact sent Lu Xiaobai flying dozens of meters backward, his back slamming heavily against the protective fence at the edge of the field with a dull thud and raising a cloud of dust.
"noob----"
Lu Linglong was so frightened that she stood up abruptly, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into the wood.
"Sigh, Linglong, don't you think—Yun's been acting strange lately?"
Zhi Jinhua, standing beside her, frowned and said in a low voice.
She observed more carefully than Lu Linglong.
"Huh? Really?"
Lu Linglong turned her head with a blank expression, clearly not noticing anything else.
Looking at her best friend, who was practically obsessed with Lu Xiaobai, Zhi Jinhua sighed helplessly and mentally complained:
This girl is hopeless; she's completely obsessed with love, and her mind probably can't hold anything but Lu Xiaobai!
"That speed, that power, and that precise timing of the attack—"
Xiao Xiao was also stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"How can the clouds be this powerful now?"
Just then, the smoke and dust that filled the arena were suddenly swept away by an invisible force.
Lu Xiaobai's figure reappeared.
He remained standing, the light of the shield surrounding him dimming but not dissipating.
The white trench coat was covered in dust and looked a bit disheveled.
But his expression was a bit strange.
That face, which was usually expressionless and even a bit cold, now had its brows slightly furrowed and the corners of its mouth turned down a little.
His eyes no longer held their usual indifference, but rather a hint of—
Is it obvious that you're unhappy?
Is there still a hint of helplessness?
If you look closely, it even looks a bit like the feeling of wanting to get angry and feeling a bit frustrated after being pranked.
The expression on his face created a strange contrast that made him—cute?
With that complex and vivid gaze, he stared intently at the "cloud" not far away, his eyes carrying a hint of accusation.
The two stood facing each other at a distance, neither making a move.
Just moments ago, the battle was raging fiercely, but now it has suddenly fallen silent, leaving the spectators in the stands completely bewildered and exchanging bewildered glances.
In the eerie silence, Lu Xiaobai finally spoke.
His voice remained calm, but if you listened closely, you could hear a barely suppressed hint of annoyance: "Old woman!"
These three words, clearly uttered from his mouth, struck the quiet arena with a striking and eerie sound.
When her identity was exposed, "Yun" stiffened slightly. Then, a mature, languid, and slightly mocking female voice rang out from the skin that belonged to Yun, completely different from Yun's original voice!
"well--?"
She drew out the melody, seemingly a little regretful, yet also finding it amusing.
He casually pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully flicked one out, put it in his mouth, lit it with a "snap" of a small flame, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, saying, "So you've been exposed so quickly? I want to play a little longer."
Amidst the swirling smoke, she tilted her head and looked at Lu Xiaobai across from her, who had a knowing look on his face, and smiled with delight.
"You're still so easily teased, not cute at all."
