Chapter 290: Chapter 211: Night Visitor_2

Just then, the bathroom light turned on, the door opened, and a person walked out.

A tall and slender girl, her face marked with a sparse and cold aloofness, softened under the orange-yellow halo of light, gaining a touch of Qing Wu gracefulness.

In the silence, she uttered a phrase.

"Not bad waist"

A perplexing sentence that didn’t quite fit the context. The person by the door deepened their gaze, taking a long look at Sui Yi, without speaking, they shot out like cold light!

Sui Yi, without hesitation, lifted her Demon Que and chased after them!

The window at the corridor corner had already been opened. The dark figure leaped out like a cheetah, with Sui Yi closely following. The two, one after the other, jumped off the rooftop and after several leaps, landed on the grass. The dark figure seemed intent on avoiding Sui Yi, unwilling to face her and ran straight towards the summit of Yujiang Mountain.

However, Sui Yi clearly wasn’t going to let him get too far away. The distance between them soon shortened. On the grass ahead of the waist-high lake, the man’s steps sank heavily to the ground. Hearing the light rustling of someone stepping on the leaves of a branch not far behind him, a flash of brilliance sparked in his eyes. He sidestepped swiftly, and a cluster of fallen leaves, like flying knives, sliced past the side of his arm. Spinning around, he dodged the attack.

Sui Yi, with her sword in hand, stood ethereally atop the tree.

In her eyes, the man with the lean figure and sharp features seemed to provoke some thought in her.

The man himself was also hesitant. After sizing Sui Yi up for a bit beside the lake, he stated lightly, "Did you guess from the start that I would come? Weren’t you supposed to be unguarded tonight? It seems like you were just trying to lull me into a false sense of security, women are so cunning. And to think you managed to hide in the bathroom for three hours"

What irritated him the most was that this woman suddenly went downstairs to drink water, forcing him to delay his plan. It was only after three Shichen that he could enter the room...

Thankfully, she also suffered in the bathroom for three hours...

To the man’s self-consoling expression, Sui Yi tilted her head and responded flatly, "At that time, I happened to go to the bathroom."

So you’re telling me, after eerily waiting for three hours, I finally chose the moment for my entrance when you were getting up to use the bathroom?!!!

It was an absolute slap in the face!

The man felt his face swelling!

"That is quite unfortunate, yet Miss Sui, you are far more cunning than I had imagined," What a coincidence, who would believe that!

In any case, the man now had significant wariness towards Sui Yi.

Sui Yi gave him a glance, "Being cunning is one thing, but I think, sir, eavesdropping on our conversation wasn’t exactly honorable either."

The man was taken aback before quickly changing the subject, "Even if you hid inside the bathroom, you still couldn’t escape the Bewitching Fragrance..."

"Bewitching Fragrance? Such a noncommittal name, yet I can only tell you that it’s useless against me," Sui Yi paused, her fingers slowly tightening around the handle of her Demon Que Sword.

"Actually, I was expecting someone else, seems I was thinking too much before,"

"Regardless of who it was, since you’ve come, don’t plan on leaving,"

Clang~~ The sword was drawn!

However, this wasn’t the Sword Drawing Technique, rather... Sui Yi flicked her wrist, and the Sword Sheath shot out like an arrow!

The Sword Sheath Technique? Such a great display of Inner Strength control ability!

"Strong enough, but still lacking a bit," the man’s body twisted as if boneless, and the sheath veered past him, embedding into the grass.

Swoosh, the man’s figure flashed, his hand reaching behind his waist and a folded Butterfly Knife appeared with a clank. The wind stirred in front of him, and as he glanced up, he saw Sui Yi already leaping from the tree, in the posture of a crescent moon, with an outstanding and peerless aura, a sword slashing with the ambition to split the moon itself.

Could this really be a high school student not yet twenty years old?

When a sword split the airborne moon in two, the moonlight crystalline and drenched over the sword, rising and falling, swift like falling moonlight!

Most male Martial Artists have the ambition and willpower of a hero standing firm against thousands, facing Sui Yi’s sword that exuded a charming and beautiful quality, the man’s eyes narrowed without flinching, for there was no time to dodge. Instead, he strode forward, his Butterfly Knife whirling in his hands, shining brilliantly like a colorful Xia Guang, Whoosh~~

Intersecting block!

Stance of dual sweeping Blades!

At that instant, light and shadow flashed, with the sword tip precisely at the crossing point of the two blades!

Clang! Silver stars burst forth in a blink! A glint of cold light~~

Sui Yi, plunging from above, locked eyes with the man as Inner Strength surged from them both!

This was a competition of Inner Strength...

Within a breath, both the Demon Que Sword and the Butterfly Knife glowed with the substantial light of condensed Inner Strength.

Sixty years against sixty years, Inner Strength almost indistinguishable in intensity. The former’s might and Agile Inner Strength even surpassed the latter. The man’s face slightly shifted, an inward curse of trouble shouted, and at the moment when the Butterfly Knife and himself were about to be blown away, his feet twisted, and he swept the knife diagonally with his left elbow!

The Butterfly Knife was a formidable weapon in close combat, lethal and swift, and quick to react, usually considered a fighter among Martial Artists. But facing Sui Yi, the man immediately felt that if he fought as usual, he would definitely not have the upper hand!

So...

Sui Yi’s wrist twisted, she stepped back, facing the ferocious Double Sweep Cross Slash!

Sui Yi, with her excellent eyesight, blocked a sword instantly and with a flick of her fingers, her Demon Que Sword began spinning abruptly!

Blade Shadows drifted into a sharp sword circle!

The man dodged and then made a right slash with his knife!

He followed with both hands lifting, Twin Dragons Emerge from the Water!

Watching the man’s left and right hands opening wide and then nimbly circling, those whistling Blade Shadows seemed like flying butterflies, the knife moving with eye-blinding speed.

Sui Yi was initially somewhat overwhelmed, because the opponent’s knife technique had become systematic, combining attack and defense seamlessly. Without a systematic sword technique of her own, and the Bright Moon Sword Technique being inferior, she wouldn’t have been able to maintain an undefeated stance amidst such a great disparity in sword and knife techniques had her basic Sword Sheath control not been outstanding.

But after about ten breaths, the man began to feel uneasy, for he had still not been able to defeat her!(To be continued.
