Chapter 42: Defeat!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Yang Tian discovered his advantage over his opponent, he naturally did not give Feng Da any chance to rest. He wanted to make Feng Da collapse in exhaustion, even at the risk of suffering minor injuries.

Both of their focuses were laser-sharp and had become their instinct. When seeing an attack from the opponent, each of them would intuitively block it and change forms to counter-attack. In that situation, nobody knew who would eventually collapse, or who would finally win.

Thud!

After all, Feng Da had a lot more experience than Yang Tian. After some back and forth, he recognized some of Yang Tian’s weak points. Among them was Yang Tian’s inability to perform at full speed due to the saber skills he was using. Throughout the fight, there were tiny breaks between certain moves he performed. As Yang Tian changed his form, Feng Da stole an opportunity and slashed his chest with the short saber.

Blood immediately flowed out of Yang Tian’s wound and soaked his garment.

What surprised Feng Da was that after receiving the injury, not only did Yang Tian not step back, instead, he continued his attacks. He had no choice but to face fierce assaults from Yang Tian.

‘This guy! Is he a robot or something…’ thought Feng Da in surprise, after half an hour of battle.

Even though the battle had been sustained for such a long time and required such high focus, Yang Tian’s attacks were still continuous and natural. As for himself, Feng Da was starting to feel exhausted by the minute.

During the process, Feng Da left behind various blade wounds on Yang Tian’s chest, thigh, back, shoulder… Yang Tian got cut at least 20 times.

However, those were not fatal wounds. All they did to Yang Tian was make him lose some blood.

Through it all, there were a few times when Feng Da wanted to retreat and take a breather, but Yang Tian would always risk getting wounded to keep him in the fight.

Clang clang clang…

It had almost been an hour since the weapons started making those clashing noises.

At that point, Yang Tian was still fierce and aggressive, while Feng Da could only be in a defensive position.

Thud!

Finally, Yang Tian’s saber cut Feng Da on the chest and sent him flying with its momentum.

Feng Da had no more strength to fight, and he got hit due to his extreme exhaustion, which made him lose his ability to catch up with Yang Tian’s moves. Borrowing that momentum, he stomped his feet and stepped backward speedily, hoping that Yang Tian would let him breathe for once.

Very soon, however, he knew his hope was in vain as Yang Tian charged at him once again. There was still the same focus in his eyes, and no trace of tiredness showed on his face.

Feng Da knew that his strength and speed were supposed to be above Yang Tian’s. The reason he was losing was because Yang Tian made him use up all his physical energy. Yang Tian had become a monster in his eyes, for he had never encountered a Warrior who could sustain such a long and intense battle without losing speed and power throughout the ordeal.

Bam!

Feng Da’s back hit a big tree.

Whoosh…

It was immediately followed by Yang Tian’s saber aiming at his neck.

Feng Da felt deep helplessness facing a vicious attack like that. However, he would not give up dodging. He contracted his body, hoping to avoid the attack.

Yang Tian could already read the intention of his action. His saber changed its direction and landed on Feng Da’s shoulder-the blade stuck to his neck.

Feng Da’s head would be displaced from his body once Yang Tian gave it a little push.

Feng Da froze. His eyes betrayed his fear, but he calmed down again very quickly.

As a Warrior, both to kill and be killed were extremely normal occurrences.

After more than an hour’s battle, the result was finally clear then.

Although it had been an intense fight, Yang Tian’s hand was still very steady. The hand he held his saber with was not shaking at all. Seeing that, Feng Da felt even more hopeless.

As a Warrior with a strong will, the fear of death was still natural. However, Feng Da did not beg Yang Tian for his life. He only stared at Yang Tian, expressionless, waiting for his death that would follow.

As for Yang Tian, he just stared at Feng Da coldly.

It was not an easy battle to win for him, as he almost got killed by Feng Da a few times.

It was the first time he encountered such a vicious fight ever since leaving the city, but he knew there would be more waiting for him in the future!

“You’ve lost!” Yang Tian said plainly after a few moments.

Feng Da stared at his eyes and calmly said, “You’ve won!”

“I don’t wish to kill you,” said Yang Tian.

For Yang Tian, it was no easy task for Feng Da to train to that level. His chain saber skill was especially strange and out-of-this-world. Who knew how much time he had put in to develop the Combat Skill to that miraculous level.

“Why don’t you wanna kill me? You need to know, if you let me go, I would still come for you,” said Feng Da with a chuckle.

Yang Tian said, “I have no idea why I don’t want to kill you. Besides, I’m not afraid of your pursuit. If I could defeat you once, there will be a second defeat, then a third! Moreover, you’ll find that I’ve improved every time you fight me!”

Yang Tian smiled confidently as he said that.

Feng Da started smiling too. He said, “You kid! If you don’t die this time around, you’ll have a bright future ahead of you! But you need to remember, letting go of your enemy means letting go of your own life!”

Thud!

Once he said those words, he tilted his head toward Yang Tian’s saber, and the blade buried completely into his neck.

A lot of blood started flowing out of Feng Da’s neck.

“Hehehe…” Feng Da chuckled and said, “Yang Tian, keep…killing!”

As soon as he finished, his head tilted forward and his eyelids gradually shut tight.

Yang Tian sheathed his saber and sighed as he looked at Feng Da’s corpse.

That was a respectable opponent, Yang Tian did not want to leave his body there to be eaten by the Monsters. He took off the Warriormate around Feng Da’s wrist and pressed on a red button.

The gadget let out a very strong help signal, the Shenwei Academy would probably show up in no time.

Not far away, Feng Da’s backpack was sitting next to a big tree. Yang Tian went up, opened it, and searched it. He found three Grade One and two Grade Two Beast Cores, and quite a lot of survival equipment and medicines. There were also two sets of clean clothes.

Other than that, he also found the Warriormate that he had thrown away.

Yang Tian guessed that the Warriormate must have been discovered by Zhou Dadao and his men, and when Feng Da arrived, it was passed to him. He thought for a second and decided to keep his Warriormate, so he put it back around his wrist.

“Squeak squeak squeak…”

Right then, Drago, who was observing the battle, squeaked continuously, giving praise to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian chuckled and said to him, “Hey, Drago, I need to leave here for a moment. Help me watch this man’s body, and don’t let the Monsters eat him. Only leave when his companions are here, understand?”

Drago agreed.

Feng Da was a high-graded Warrior from Shenwei Military Academy, Yang Tian believed that people from his academy would bring his body back.

Carrying Feng Da’s backpack, Yang Tian left quickly with his saber in his hand.

After brisk walking for half an hour, the little dragon finally caught up to Yang Tian and hopped onto his shoulder. He told Yang Tian that those people arrived.

Yang Tian nodded without saying a word and continued on his way.

…

“Feng Da was killed…” said Warrior from Shenwei Military Academy, full of surprise when he saw Feng Da’s body.

Zhou Dadao frowned hard while he checked Feng Da’s neck and said, “Feng Da was defeated, he hit his neck on Yang Tian’s blade and died. It’s really unexpected that Yang Tian has already grown to that level.”

“Yang Tian is so terrifying! What should we do?” One of the Warriors felt a little afraid as he asked Zhou Dadao.

Zhou Dadao thought for a while and said, “We can only wait for now. We’ll have to inform the people up there and let them decide what to do!”

Another Class Four Warrior said, “That’s the only thing we can do at this rate. Let’s not split up after this, just so we don’t get broken up by Yang Tian. Feng Da’s already dead, so the academy will probably send another senior with an even higher level.”
