I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1304: Shock the Enemy

Xiao Feng was still very confident in his own strength. After all, he possessed a Demigodly Artifact, the "Bi Hong Sword." Although it couldn’t compare to Dongfang Yunlong’s "Longquan Sword," he believed it would be more than enough to deal with you.

"Today, I want to see if you truly have the skill that’s rumored—Cloud Passing Peak!"

Having witnessed your speed and power before, Xiao Feng may have said so with confidence, but deep down, he did not dare to take any risks. As soon as he made his move, he unleashed his family’s signature sword technique.

"Ha!"

The Wind Slasher in your hand shot forward like a streak of flowing light!

Xiao Feng’s treasured sword emitted several white streams of Sword Qi. The Sword Qi formed blade-like edges that targeted several of your vital areas.

When dueling against a master, you naturally wouldn’t use any of your simpler moves. That would undoubtedly be suicidal.

From what you knew, these Aristocratic families trained their children from an early age in techniques to dismantle others’ attacks. Your techniques, too, were fairly straightforward. Without having attained the Mahayana level in speed and power, engaging Xiao Feng recklessly would only lead to a disadvantage.

The moment your foot touched the ground, you suddenly stamped hard. Your entire body shifted left like a meteor, evading the Sword Qi. Then, borrowing momentum, you raised your blade and slashed directly toward Xiao Feng.

"Tiger Out!"

Xiao Feng leapt up lightly, his body spinning mid-air. The radiance of his sword grew even brighter as countless streams of Sword Qi hurtled toward you. Unable to dodge, you could only steel yourself to resist. Yet, while you were preoccupied repelling Xiao Feng’s Sword Qi with all your might, his sword had quietly slipped through—aiming directly for your heart.

"Hmph, let’s see if you can still survive!"

"Tiger Out!"

Just as Xiao Feng assumed you were certain to die, your body suddenly planted firmly on the ground and sprang upward. Not only did you evade Xiao Feng’s strike, but you also rotated mid-air. What happened next left everyone utterly astounded—you executed the exact same move as Xiao Feng!

When Xiao Feng defended against all your attacks, his face was filled with shock. He roared, "How do you know the Xiao Family’s sword technique?!"

"Hmph, the Xiao Family’s sword technique is hardly difficult," you replied with a smirk. With a half-turn of your body, you shouted, "Cloud Passing Peak!"

Though the elegant swordplay remained unchanged in your hands, you wielded a blade instead of a sword!

Xiao Feng dodged the blade slices you sent forth, his face pale with fear. "Just who are you?"

"Who I am isn’t important. Just relay my message to Dongfang Yunlong—tell him that as long as I exist, he’ll never become the Number One! Hahaha."

With that, you grabbed your love interest’s hand and turned away.

"Stop!" Two swordsmen attempted to block your path, but your figure suddenly blurred in their eyes. Next, they felt excruciating pain radiating from their hearts.

As Xiao Feng watched you effortlessly kill two swordsmen near Level 30, his body couldn’t help but shudder.

In truth, it wasn’t that your power was particularly overwhelming; it was that each of your strikes targeted a person’s most fatal weakness. These swordsmen had spent years playing older games. In their minds, unless they encountered a Super Boss-level monster, a swordsman could never be instantly defeated by anyone.

But they were all wrong. Their lack of understanding of the mechanics of New Pride became their downfall, and you used precisely this to achieve your surprising and decisive victory.

Moreover, your speed far outclassed theirs. Those two swordsmen probably died without ever knowing why they lost to you. Unconsciously, you also became their eternal nightmare.

As you left Xiao Feng behind, your love interest looked at you with curiosity, drawn ever closer to the inexhaustible allure that radiated from you.

Especially after the recent battle, she found you even more mysterious and unfathomable. Along the way, you naturally sensed her thoughts. Once you reached a safe location, you smiled at her and said, "You’re wondering about my true identity, aren’t you?"

She nodded slightly. "I’ve always been curious about your identity. There are just too many things about you that invite speculation."

"No need to speculate. I’ll tell you everything directly." Sitting down with her, you began recounting your past. "Well, that’s my story."

Of course, you didn’t disclose the true nature of your relationship with her, as this was merely a game, and certain aspects still adhered to its rules.

Besides, there was a certain thrill in keeping things secret.

After hearing your story, she remained silent, staring at you intently before letting out a small sigh.

"What? Why are you sighing?" you asked.

"At first, I thought you were the son of some Aristocratic family. I’ve always been lowly by birth, and I feared being with you might tarnish your status."

"And now?" you teased her.

"Now? I... I don’t know how to describe it."

Her cheeks flushed red as she glanced shyly at you. When your gazes met, she quickly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and nervousness.

"By the way, where are your other friends? I haven’t seen them," you asked to break the awkward silence.

"We separated. I didn’t want to burden them, so I decided to part ways."

You nodded thoughtfully before remarking, "Your decision was right but also foolish. In the end, you’ll bear all the debts by yourself. Do you think it’s worth it?"

"I don’t know. I simply don’t want them to get hurt. They’re among the few friends I have in this world, and I can’t bear the thought of them suffering."

You shook your head with a smile and chose not to delve further into the topic. Instead, you said, "We need to leave here and head to areas that players haven’t explored much yet. That’s the only way to avoid being disturbed by those annoying pests."

"Alright." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Midway, she once again brought up the matter of you using Xiao Feng’s technique. You smiled and explained, "I have photographic memory. As long as I see a move once, I can memorize and replicate it. But even so, imitating alone is useless; I don’t know how they channel their inner strength. You saw it earlier—my technique was easily dismantled. If his heart spirit hadn’t been disrupted by me, my half-baked technique wouldn’t have worked at all. Ultimately, self-reliance is key. And besides, this game isn’t something I plan to play forever. Once I completely surpass my limits, I’ll leave the game and move on to the real world."

Looking at your youthful yet somewhat tender face, she smiled reassuringly.

"What?! You’re saying that Mu Yun knows your Xiao Family’s sword technique?" In a small room, a man slammed his palm heavily against the surface of a table.

Defeated, Xiao Feng sat nearby. Initially, he had hoped to use the duel with you as an opportunity to flaunt his skills before his subordinates. But contrary to expectations, not only did he fail to show off, but he was also humiliated by you. "Its power wasn’t impressive, but it was definitely our Xiao Family’s Cloud Sword Technique."
