190 Dance of Swords Part-1

Frozen Sky sighed as she rubbed her temples with exasperation as she spoke, "Sister, are you sure?"

Seeing Frozen Flames giving a slight nod she turned towards Lucius as she spoke, "Daoist Lucius is there any problem if a 'Swordsman's Duel' occurs here."

Lucius: "I have no problem but this place has no array placed I hope senior can help me with some so that we spectators do not get harmed by their duel."

Frozen Sky: "Well it is a shame but I am not a good array master, I merely know basics nothing more.", before she turned towards Frozen Flames as she shouted, "Sister before you start would be kind enough to erect a barrier so that us spectator d not get injured."

Frozen Flames huffed at that as Ryuu spoke, "Senior I think it would be nice there are many who would love to witness our duel as such I do not mind if you erect a barrier so that spectators do not get hurt."

Frozen Flames simply raised one of her eyebrow as she went to work on a barrier as Frozen Sky spoke to Ryuu, "My my, Junior Daoist Ryuu even if it is a Swordman's duel my sister could wipe the floor with you, are you sure you wish to fight her like that in front of audience it would be extremely embarrassing to you."

Ryuu laughed loudly at that, as he spoke, "Senior, you do not have to worry about that my teacher has a habit of lowering teacher's cultivation level while sparing with me and till date the score is '1398 – 0', I have yet to defeat my teacher, as such a simple defeat will not discourage me instead it would show me what I lack."

Frozen Sky had her jaw drop at that as she thought, 'what kind of fellow is he who openly states he lost to someone so many times even if that person is his teacher if people hears they might twist it and ridicule it, but oh well show me how much enlightenment you have on the Grand Dao of Sword, let alone our school even in my peers as well as seniors the sister disciple of mine is not called the 'Goddess of Sword', for nothing I would love to see child how you fare against her, fare against someone who suddenly took interest on you.'

By the time Frozen Flames had erected an array the word had travelled around and people have arrived to see the duel between a Void Immortal and a Mystic Immortal Empress.

One of the person who had arrived spoke rudely, "Why are there so many people wasting their time on this nonsensical duel, unlike us who works hard the kid rose through the ranks because of some medicine, if I had those I would already be an Immortal let alone a puny Void Immortal, now not only they are occupying our practice are they are wasting our time.", the disgruntled person was none other than a certain person Ryuu had the misfortune of being on the same place, a jealous being who had been consumed by hatred against Ryuu for simply being stronger than him despite being less than half his age, the being was none other than Gaius.

As he spoke many agreed with him though most did not voice out due fear of so many seniors around even Agrippa the head of the local branch had arrived in order to witness the duel.

Swordman's Duel, a type of method of sparing where the participants as the name implies will only use swords and will attack using each other as they try to gauge each other's accomplishment on the Grand Dao of swords, most of importantly the participant will be fighting each other on equal level that is the person with higher cultivation level will lower it to the level of the person with the lowest.

Frozen Flames: "Are you ready Junior?"

Ryuu nodded as Frozen Flames took out a nodachi from her space ring as she pointed it towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Frozen Flames, 1st rank Mystic Sword Immortal Empress, Grand Master Level."

Ryuu mirrored her by pointing her as he spoke, "Ryuu, 9th rank Void Immortal, Master level."

Every Dao even if they fall under the same classifications according to one's understanding of a Dao, Novice, Adept, Apprentice, Expert, Master, Grand Master, Legendary and God level. Accordingly as one's understanding of the dao becomes the stronger their attack becomes, but there are a few things ike a sword force, it is said that only a blessed and strong swordsman may use sword force, a person who had spend a lot of time studying the sword even if they may have not gain any enlightenment in the Grand Dao of sword may use sword force but their level is only stuck at level 2 of sword force, but such as not the case of one who has gained enlightenment as the enlightened person will be able to access much higher level of sword force.

The two opponents looked at each other with a stoic expression before closing their eyes as they cleared their mind out of any unnecessary thoughts soon the entire world ceased to exist for them.

Meanwhile Frozen Sky had took out a couple of chairs as she invited his students as well as martial niece to sit beside, Lu Wu was getting anxious and worried as she looked at her teacher figure and big brother figure standing not moving at all, as she such she turned towards Frozen Sky as she asked her, "Aunty, what are they doing why is brother and teacher standing absolutely still."

Frozen Sky just gave a lopsided grin as she spoke, "Do not worry your pretty little head my cute niece, they are just concentrating and now it is about to begin."

No sooner did she finished speaking both Ryuu and Frozen Flames opened their eyes, an indescribable aura suddenly fell on them, all of them felt as if they were about to be pierced by multiple swords, Lu Wu trembled with fear as her eyes watered, seeing her like that Frozen Flames hugged her tightly in order to dispel fear while her uttering soothing words to her.

Ryuu swung his sword with his right hand as a large part of the soil seemed to be sliced out, the aura infused with sword vanished as Ryuu charged towards his opponent, with an upward slice by both hands, Frozen flames simply parried it with her nodachi, but their attack created a giant sword force which cleaved through the soil and hit the barrier with a loud boom as the people looked at the duo mesmerized as they looked like they were dancing with each other, a very deadly dance of swords.
