The roaring Scarlet Lotus Fire and the dazzling white light collided with each other, bringing up gusts of strong winds.
"Heyah!!"
The girl roared, raised the long sword in her hand, and slashed it down at Fangzheng. The roaring wind even caused the river to tremble. Scorching flames appeared on the blade, condensed, and erupted.
Her strength, speed, and reaction time were much stronger than ordinary people.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fangzheng pondered while moving his feet to avoid the slashing blade. Then, he stabbed the sword at the girl's body with a backhand. The girl took advantage of the momentum and rolled away, avoiding Fangzheng's diagonal stab. Then, the blade in her hand left a trail of sparks on the ground, and she charged at Fangzheng again.
Attacks with a fire attribute bonus … Hmm, seems like that's all?
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fangzheng couldn't help but frown. Indeed, from the few times they fought, it could be seen that the girl's strength, speed, and reaction time were far superior to ordinary humans, but her combat skills were rather crude. Apart from her solid basic skills, she basically fought head-on in all other aspects.
Is this how a Mist Warrior fights?
How did she survive until now without being beaten to death?
Or is it that this world's combat style has the wrong talent tree?
While thinking, Fangzheng blocked the attacks in front of him. He didn't notice that the girl's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!!
At this moment, the girl gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, feeling extremely depressed. In the beginning, she had planned to teach this arrogant human a lesson. But soon, the girl discovered that she couldn't do that at all.
Not only was this man's speed, strength, and reaction faster than her, but his combat style also made the girl complain incessantly. The girl had been constantly attacking in an attempt to force Fangzheng to panic and reveal an opening. Then, she would be able to kill him in one strike. But what made the young girl depressed was that every move she made seemed to be within her opponent's expectations. Often, just as she swung her longsword, her opponent's sword would already appear in her attack trajectory.
This made the young girl extremely uncomfortable. Ever since she started fighting, she had never encountered such a situation where her hands and feet were tied and she was suppressed to the point where she could not break free. The combat experience that she was so proud of seemed to be non-existent in front of this human.
"Haaaaaah!"
Thinking of this, the girl's heart became angrier. She roared and raised her sword again, slashing at Fangzheng. However, the moment her sword slashed down, Fangzheng dodged the girl's attack as if he had foreseen it. Then, the sword in his hand suddenly jumped up like a poisonous snake, stabbing towards the girl's shoulder.
"Dammit!!"
Seeing this sword, the young lady gritted her teeth. With the saber cleaving down, there was no time for her to dodge. All she could do was watch helplessly as Fangzheng's blade stabbed at her. Could it be … that he was really going to lose? Losing to a human?!
"No!!"
At the thought of this, a wave of indignant anger rose from the bottom of the girl's heart. She roared, and the next moment, scorching and explosive bright red flames instantly erupted in all directions with the girl as the center. At this moment, Fangzheng naturally could not dodge in time, and he was completely engulfed by the oncoming flames.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing this scene, the pendant on the young lady's neck was taken aback and hurriedly stopped him.
"This isn't a battle of life and death! Stop! "
"Ah!!"
Hearing Alastor's angry rebuke, the young lady was taken aback. But before she could retract the flames erupting from her body, a crack suddenly appeared in front of her. In the blink of an eye, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes. The next moment, a cold touch pressed against her neck, preventing her from moving further.
"I see. The power has increased, but it still can't be separated from the fire attribute?"
Along with the voice, the unharmed Fangzheng stepped out of the flames. With a smile on his face, he looked at the young lady in front of him and said.
"It seems that I've won."
"…"
Looking at Fangzheng in front of her, the young lady was silent for a long time. Then, she put down the long sword in her hand and said in a low voice.
"I lost."
Along with the young lady's words, the Absolute Seal covering the riverbank began to retract. Soon, everything returned to normal again.
"It's already this time?"
Looking at the time on his phone, Fangzheng shrugged and looked at the young lady in front of him.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave …"
"Why?"
"… Huh?"
"Why are you so strong?"
The young lady raised her head and stared at Fangzheng.
"As a human, how can you be so strong? In order to become a Fire Mist Warrior, I received rigorous training and learning. After becoming a Fire Mist Warrior, I also killed many disciples of the Red World. But why? Why can you defeat me so easily? "
"Well … If you want me to say …"
Looking at the young lady's serious and firm expression, Fangzheng was silent for a while before finally answering.
"… It's because your opponents are too weak."
"My opponents … are too weak?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the young lady was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Yeah, I can feel it from the battle just now. You rarely use strategies and tricks, preferring to fight head-on. Perhaps it's because you've always encountered weak opponents, so as long as you're a little more serious, or raise your spirits a little more, you'll be able to easily destroy your opponent. But even if you defeat ten thousand of them, you won't make any progress. There's an old saying in my hometown, 'Playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the more you play, the worse you get'. That's pretty much what it means … "
Having said that, Fangzheng turned around and waved at the young lady.
"That's all I can say. It's getting late, be careful and go home. I'll take my leave now."
"…"
This time, the young lady didn't say anything. She just silently clenched the long sword in her hand and stared at Fangzheng's back as he left. It wasn't until he completely disappeared from the young lady's sight that the young lady suddenly spoke.
"Alastor … Do you think what that human said makes sense?"
Hearing the young lady's question, the pendant on her chest was silent for a long time before she answered in a low voice.
"Since leaving the Tendo Temple, you have indeed made progress in tracking and searching for the Followers of the Red World, but …"
"The opponents I encountered were too weak, right?"
Without waiting for Alastor to finish, the young lady lowered her head. She knew better than anyone what she encountered in every battle. Indeed, as Fangzheng said, some of the Followers of the Red World that the young lady encountered did pose a threat to her, but as long as the young lady was serious, these Followers of the Red World were nothing at all.
But … this didn't mean that the young lady had become stronger.
Thinking of this, the young lady clenched her hands and spoke as if she had made up her mind.
