Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 44: Second Duel II

Ming Yue, aware of his waning momentum, pushed forward with a focused intensity. She closed the distance between them with measured steps, her single-handed wooden sword slicing through the air.

In one particularly decisive move, she parried a final surge of spirit qi with her blade, her timing precise enough to redirect his attack away from his center. The resulting contact forced Jiang Hao to stumble back, a deep bruise forming across his ribcage.

Even as the bruise darkened, his healing abilities began their work, the pain ebbing away as quickly as it had come.

"Junior Brother, use your qi more wisely"

As their battle wore on, the exchange of attacks became a continuous loop of action. Jiang Hao’s spirit qi surged forth in new combinations, each attack more daring than the last

Despite the increasing severity of his injuries, a split in his lip reopened from a particularly sharp strike, a bruise forming around his shoulder where ice had grazed him, he pressed on, driven by the necessity to test his limits against Ming Yue’s refined techniques.

Ming Yue maintained her disciplined offense. With her sword and ice, she countered each move with deliberate precision, her focus unwavering as she navigated the ebb and flow of their conflict.

Every time Jiang Hao’s qi met her icy defense, the contact was clean and clinical, a demonstration of their practiced skills rather than a contest of words.

At one point, Jiang Hao aimed a final, concentrated thrust of spirit qi at Ming Yue’s torso. Recognizing the move instantly, Ming Yue countered by extending her arm and summoning a compact, hardened shard of ice that intercepted the attack.

The collision sent a shudder through both fighters; Jiang Hao’s chest bore the brunt of the impact, leaving him with a fresh, jagged bruise that quickly began the healing process.

The battle persisted in this measured cadence. Jiang Hao’s relentless spirit qi met the ever-adapting ice of Ming Yue in a cycle of offense and defense that kept both combatants continuously alert. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Despite the visible toll on his body, each injury a reminder of the risks inherent in their spar, Jiang Hao’s healing abilities ensured he remained in the fight, though sometimes more battered than before.

In the final moments of their confrontation, both fighters paused simultaneously for a brief due to unspoken acknowledgment of the intense exchange.

Jiang Hao’s breath came in measured intervals as his body continued to mend, and Ming Yue held her sword at the ready, her focus unbroken until the next signal. No more words were needed in that pause, just the mutual understanding that the spar had pushed both to their limits.

"Senior Sister, I have learned from every strike."

Jiang Hao said quietly, his words carrying the weight of both respect and exhaustion. He really admired Ming Yue in her combat strength, her strength not only lies in her Heavenly Physique but also her battle skills which she had refined all this time.

His battle style was most primitive form, closer to the beast which can countered easily by skilled fighters, he had to learn more advanced skills if he wanted to increase his strength.

Mastering a weapon wasn’t bad idea, its not like he was committed to only his fist or something, he just didn’t had means to learn those skills before but now he can learn them.

Ming Yue inclined her head slightly and spoke.

"Junior Brother, every injury and every defense has been a lesson for me"

Their spar concluded not with declarations of victory but with the clear understanding that each had gained insight into their own limits and potential.

Every move, every impact, and every healing moment had been a testament to their dedication to martial practice, a straightforward battle of skill and will without embellishment or undue praise.

Huan Caiyi sighed when she saw that, both her and Zhi Hui were prepared to interfare in the start, they knew Ming Yue had way to protect her from injuries, but they weren’t sure of Jiang Hao, so, although they looked relaxed on outside, both of them were alert all the time while the battle was going.

Although they had seen his regeneration speed , they didn’t have idea what its limit was so they didn’t become relaxed and watched whole battle intently.

After watching their battle she had only one word in her mind, both are monsters. Although she knew how valuable are their physique are, she had never seen them in real action like this.

Can normal person even be able to fight them, the amount qi these two have already mind blowing, not to mention their regeneration abilities, hurting them is almost impossible unless you are much stronger then them.

Now that she had seen them, she couldn’t help but think there situation. If these two are able to reach higher level, would there be anyone in this world who can even stand in front of them? Nope, none.

And once that have happened, they will have there own revenge, Azure sky sect is it? If these two grow up, it won’t even exist in this world and she will make sure of it.

They were the real reason they are forced to run away from central region , and are now on the edge of forced to run away again. This time they might have to run to forbidden zone where they would have to face dangers at every step. They might die there, so it would ideal if they won’t have to take that step.

But if they are really forced to do so, and if they survived through this ordeal then she will show them what really being a devil means.

"Alright, you two that was quite show of strength and now that I have good view your abilities, I am thrilled to announce that my heart is filled with prasies"

When Jiang Hao and Ming Yue heard Huan Caiye say that, they couldn’t help but feel chill run on their back. There was definitely something wrong with her choice of words here. This wasn’t here usual behaviour.

"But, there were some instances where you guys got hurt unnecessarily, and as your senior I felt my heart wrench and couldn’t help but blame myself for not guiding you two properly"

Every word of her was contradiction to her personality, and that big smile with which she was saying all this proves it even more that she was thinking something which they won’t like at all.

"So,...as responsible senior, who taken upon herself to take care of you both, it is my duty to guide you properly"

When Ming Yue heard that she finally understood her aunt’s behaviour and couldn’t help but look her master with pleading expression.

When Zhi Hui saw her pleading expression, she divert her eyes towards the sky and exclaimed.

"There are lot of clouds today, it seems a storm is coming"

When Ming Yue heard that, she lost her all hope and couldn’t help murmure.

"We are doomed junior brother"

When Jiang Hao heard that he couldn’t understand why she had said that but the way elder Huan was acting, there was definitely something big going to happen.

"From tommorow onwards, every time when sun rises , you two should be present here no matter what.

Both of your cultivation speeds are high and unusual so don’t make any excuse that you are going in seclusion for cultivation, understood?"

Ming Yue and Jiang Hao nodded, although Ming Yue looked quite dispirited while doing that.

Jiang Hao was surprised when he heard, isn’t this mean that she was going train us personally, then why senior sister is making that face?

"Good , by the way sect competition is coming next month, Jiang Hao you should participate, since there was nothing left to hide anyway. Ming Yue if you want to participate, then you have to do so while restricted."

After saying that Huan Caiyi vanished in front of them, Zhi Hui also vanished following her, they weren’t able to follow their movement.

After those two left Jiang Hao couldn’t help but look at Ming Yue, although she looked dispirited earlier she already look calm enough now.

"Senior sister, isn’t it good that elder Huan will teach us, why did you felt indignant about it"

"Haahh....Junior brother you don’t understand, remember when I told that these two are also called devil sisters, it is mainly because of aunt.

When she was an Elder of Azure Sky sect , not a single disciple was under her guidance, because all of them ran away from the sect itself.

The reason is that aunt doesn’t show mercy when she trains someone, infact she makes sure of it that you will have most painful training of your life.

The two of us have a unique way to heal ourself junior brother, whenever I freeze my wounds, they also began to heal, although it is not fast as your regeneration, it still quit fast.

This gives her enough reason to torture us in the name of training, and she will definitely not leave us unless we are really on the brink of death.

Forget it junior brother, I doubt it will intimidate you as your will is quite strong, but about delicate girl like me.

Jiang Hao become speechless, what’s with that statement. Although, his will is strong, he didn’t like feeling pain too, its not something that he was proud off.
