Chapter 442: Liu Ying’s Battle

Two chapters tomorrow... Maybe...

....

The battle between Liu Ying and Yaru quickly intensified. In a question of seconds, both of them were trading blows intensely; Liu Ying sporting an excited smile and Yaru with an indifferent look.

Both of them were close-range combatants. Neither Liu Ying nor Yaru used sharp weapons, and instead, they liked to fight with their bodies.

Of course, it was not as though they didn't have weapons. Liu Ying, on a hand, had the gloves that Bloed made for her, while Yaru had a metallic knuckle on each hand, and used them to hit the enemies.

Both of them traded blows fiercely, Liu Ying and Yaru exchanging between attacking and defending once and again.

However, it did not take long for one of them to gain the advantage.

Less than one minute later, the battle started to tilt in Yaru's favor.

" It's bad" Prince Calisto spoke up with a frown. "Big brother Bloed, I think that sister Liu Ying is in trouble this time."

"Do you know anything about that Yaru?" Bloed asked.

Prince Calisto nodded.

"He is an upcoming genius in the city. He arrived two years ago and quickly became famous due to his high mastery of martial arts.

"Some of them even call him 'Little Martial King', and say that he will be the one to succeed George as the strongest Martial Artis of the city."

Bloed was slightly surprised.

George was the leader of the fourth strongest club of the city, the Martial Art Clubs, and he was also a powerhouse only below Mu Quan and Isabella.

The fact that Yaru was being compared to him was shocking.

Bloed could understand why, though. Through the battle between Liu Ying and Yaru, he could see that Yaru's combat techniques were at an extremely high level.

Even though he and Liu Ying had been trading blows for a long while, until now, Liu Ying had been unable to deal even a hit to him. Every time, Yaru avoided her blows with the minimum necessary movement and then counterattacked with the most effective attack.

Moreover, his cultivation was higher than Liu Ying, so his advantage was only growing with every second.

However, instead of becoming nervous, Bloed smiled.

At the same time, Regina spoke up.

"You don't need to worry about her, master. The demon will not lose so easily. After all, I taught her personally, and when it comes to close combat, that girl has a very unfair advantage against anyone else."

Liu Ying's expression was grave. She knew that she was losing the battle, and for a wide margin.

Every time she traded blows with her opponent, he would avoid her attacks and attacked her back, forcing her to evade or receive his attacks more than once.

Right now, she already had accumulated several small injuries and was bleeding from the corner of her lips.

'Strong' Liu Ying thought to herself. 'He is very strong.'

It was not just his cultivation. His combat techniques were also higher than hers.

Liu Ying had only met two people with this level of combat techniques. One of them was Bloed, and the other was Regina.

When Liu Ying fought them, she got the feeling that they could read every one of her movements much before she even thought about them.

The feeling that she got from Yaru was similar. It was as though every one of her movements was clear before his eyes.

But

'He is not as good as Regina or Bloed.'

Liu Ying smirked.

Having experienced it personally, she knew that Regina and Bloed's martial arts were much better.

Wiping off the blood on her lips, Liu Ying looked at her opponent and curved her lips up.

"You are very strong." She said.

"Thank you," Yaru replied. "You are strong as well. Perhaps some years later, you will surpass me."

"A few years later?" Liu Ying smiled playfully. She then circulated her mana through her entire body.

At the same time, she activated the power in her blood.

The power that she had inherited from her parents.

Almost immediately, a figure appeared behind Liu Ying.

It was a black knight wielding a lance. It stood straight, looking towards Yaru with an ice-cold stare.

Almost immediately, Yaru furrowed his brows.

"Aspect?" He put a wary expression.

Aspects were the innate talent of demons, so he was not surprised when Liu Ying showed one.

However

'Somehow she feels different'

Nothing had changed about Liu Ying, but once her aspect appeared, she seemed to transform into a completely different person.

She felt... powerful, and dangerous.

But before he could understand what changed, he saw Liu Ying take a step forward.

Then, her figure disappeared.

'Fast!' Yaru's expression changed.

He hurriedly jumped aside to evade the attack, and one second later, a punch hit the place where he was just now.

*Bam!*

Liu Ying's fist hit the ground, creating a loud explosive sound. The power of the punch was so strong that it created a hole in the ground!

Yaru was surprised, but he then saw Liu Ying disappear again, her figure once more appearing in front of him.

*Bam!*

Once more, he avoided the attack, but when he saw the hole that it created on the ground, his back was filled with cold sweat.

'How can she be so strong!?'

It was normal for a demon to become stronger after releasing his aspect, but the improvement should not be this exaggerated.

The Liu Ying before using her aspect and the Liu Ying after it seemed like two completely different people!

What Yaru did not know was that Liu Ying's aspect was [Chaos Titan], the aspect that allowed her family to rule over the daemons for generations!

It was now disguised as a black knight, but its essence was still the same.

It was one of the strongest aspects in the entire world, grating peerless physical strength to its users!

Liu Ying's attacks continued. She repeatedly rushed towards Yaru, using her fists and elbows to attack him nonstop.

However, Yaru showed his ability as the one known as 'Little Martial King'. Even under Liu Ying's powerful barrage of attacks, he did his best to remain calm, avoiding every one of them.

Moreover, he avoided them in such a way that Liu Ying could not trigger [Silent Touch]. During the entire battle, Liu Ying had not been able to land even a blow.

Even so, he was not having it easy.

'I had to finish this fast.'

Yaru could feel the immense power behind every one of Liu Ying's blows. If he slipped even once and let her land a blow, he would definitively lose!

Narrowing his eyes, he avoided another of her attacks. Then, he gathered mana in his fist and counterattacked!

Caught unprepared, Liu Ying was forced to twist her body to evade the attack. However, her stance was destroyed.

There was no way that Yaru could miss that opportunity.

Stomping the ground, he tensed all his muscles before unleashing an attack!

[Overlord Fist]!

*Bam!*

The blow hit Liu Ying's abdomen, making her gasp in pain.

The attack was followed by another punch to her hips, and another to her right arm. Finally, he filled his fist with mana and attacked her chest.

"Gah!"

Vomiting a mouthful of blood, Liu Ying's body slowly collapsed on the ground.

But when Yaru thought he had won, he saw a smile on the demon's face.

Then, before he could react to the sudden sense of danger, he felt Liu Ying grabbing his arm.

"Now you can't escape." With blood sliding down her lips, Liu Ying grinned.

Then, she activated the technique she learned from Regina.

[Silent Touch].
