Chapter 153 - Serious

"Forgive me brother Ye but I will be fighting you for real this time." Jiang ChenMu told Jiang Ye as he took a ready-to-fight stance as he flung away the sheath.

"Forgive me Young Master Jiang ChenMu because I will use this opportunity to show my skills to General." Jiang Ye told him, his expression turning serious as he threw the sheath away and placed his leg in front of him, and bent a little to show how serious he was going to be.

Jiang ChenMu frowned, displeased. "Do you want to escape the Jiang family so much, coward!" He yelled as he dashed forward, his sword meeting Jiang Ye's sword.

It might be Si Ning's imagination but it seemed there was tension in the air and he could almost see some flying spark, Jiang Ye eyes turned serious it almost scared Si Ning that was sitting far away while Jiang ChenMu seemed to be enjoying himself, a smirk plastered on his face, his aura dim to Jiang Ye but doesn't want to give him as his eyes sparks in determination.

"Ah!" Jiang ChenMu yelled as he turned and rolled on the floor to catch Jiang Ye off guard and kick him but Jiang Ye was able to dodge.

Before Jiang ChenMu was able to stand Jiang Ye's sword met Jiang ChenMu and pushed, Jiang ChenMu was struggling to push back but proved difficult because he was on his knees. He managed to raise his leg and tried to stand but Jiang Ye power was too large forcing him back to his knees and when Jiang ChenMu realized there was no opening and his opponent strength was greater made him stop pushing and pushed himself sideward only dodge when Jiang Ye's sword was about to slash him by an inch but his sleeve was caught in it, making the sword to hit the ground and Jiang ChenMu used that opportunity to tear his sleeve and roll away in a hurry, he jumped on his feet not even bothered by his arm that was now exposed.

The training attire Jiang ChenMu wore was now dirty, the left side of his face was stained with sand but his eyes were so determined, glowing red, not bothered about his appearance while Jiang Ye on the other hand looked neat, his breath steady and anyone could see this was about to become a one-sided fight but Si Ning doesn't want to judge based on what just unfold before him, Chen An told him they had nothing more to teach Jiang ChenMu which means the teenage boy must be a Master in swordsmanship and Jiang Ye was only older than him with few years which means Si Ning couldn't point to a winner yet.

"Ya!" Jiang ChenMu yelled and dashed forward at a fast speed and just when his sword was about to meet Jiang Ye, he turned suddenly and thrust his sword backward and Si Ning almost fell on his chair because everything seemed so fast and he almost saw the sword pierce Jiang Ye's stomach.

Jiang Ye jumped backward, his stomach in one piece and he turned just in time when Jiang ChenMu turned and their swords met, the both back away only for their swords to clash again and again, the sword resonating in the training ground, sparks flying between the swords then Jiang ChenMu raised his leg to kick and Jiang Ye dodged it giving Jiang ChenMu to roll on the ground, grabbing Jiang Ye's sword sheath he discarded earlier and he stood on his feet raising both the sword and the sheath, holding the sheath to be used as a shield while he attacks with the sword.

Si Ning could see the fight wasn't about him checking Jiang ChenMu level anymore, the fight had turned personal with how Jiang ChenMu's eyes were full of determination as he stepped sideways like a lion that was watching his prey while Jiang Ye's eyes were of someone that wasn't about to lose while he also steps sideways like he was watching out for the predator.

They both stopped suddenly and both moved forward at a fast pace that their swords clashed and Si Ning had no idea if he would be able to stop them because their sword clashing had turned violet. It was just like he was watching two opponents fighting to kill.

Jiang Ye sword kept clashing with Jiang ChenMu as he turned and twirled, his footing firm on the ground but Jiang ChenMu was able to keep up even though he kept missing some steps and was able to evict from danger just from a little bit which was the result of him being fast yet he was getting tired, his breathing heavy and even received few kicks on his stomach that he got to a stage him he had to spat out blood but Jiang Ye didn't give Jiang ChenMu a chance to catch his breath and he only thrust his sword forward and slashed his arm even though Jiang ChenMu was able to minimize the damage by using the sheath to block the sword at the same time throwing up his sword and catching the hilt in a way that he was only able to thrust forward forcing Jiang Ye to backway even though the sword pierced his stomach by one centimeter.

"General?" Xiao Pei called as an indication to suggest that the fight that had gotten violent needs to stop.

Si Ning raised his hand, he could see what was happening and he wanted to stop them but for some reason, he doesn't want to but into something that seemed personal because it wasn't about him anymore it was about them and if it stops them then there might arise a more dangerous means for them to settle between themselves, they might be fighting seriously but Si Ning was going to put his thrust on Jiang Ye because the few months he had spent with him as his guard, he doesn't see Jiang Ye as a violent person and he was now going to watch and see what Jiang Ye would end up doing if he would continue to inflict injury on Jiang ChenMu due to some personal problem or he was going to stop at the last minute.

The clashing of their swords was giving Si Ning a slight headache but he was so engrossed in their fight he doesn't want to call it off after Xiao Pei called him again, he only watched with rapt attention.

"You should give up." Jiang Ye's sword met Jiang ChenMu as he pushed, their faces inches apart.

Jiang ChenMu's eyes were glowing red as he tried to push, his look fierce, blood trailing the side of his mouth and arm. "I am winning this fight!" His voice was hoarse. "I am winning this fight and take you back to our family!" He yelled still pushing but Jiang Ye's power was greater and didn't give him a chance.

"We didn't take a bet so stop assuming nonsense!" Jiang yelled.

Hmmm.

Si Ning raised his hand to support his chin, he doesn't want them to start talking about the problems of their family due to the Servants' presence because he doesn't want them to start a rumor about the Jiang Family which he had placed effort for them to work together but Jiang Ye wanting to be a Commander shouldn't be a secret nor Jiang ChenMu that wanted to take him back so Si Ning wasn't going to worry about words spreading around, he would only use the opportunity to fish out those with loose tongue among the Servants present and get rid of them.
