Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 380: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (5)
As soon as Liu Yanzhi came on stage, he bowed to Shu Shichu and said, "I am not talented, but I would like to ask Miss Shu for advice."
"You're welcome. Please give me your advice." Shu Shichu didn't say much and directly assumed a posture to fight the enemy.
Seeing this, Liu Yanzhi did not delay any further. In his expectation, he should be able to defeat Shu Shichu within fifty moves, but he miscalculated.
He realized this when he first attacked Shu Shichu, so he quickly restrained his contemptuous attitude and treated Shu Shichu seriously.
Liu Yanzhi practiced swordsmanship, and his moves were as swift as the wind. The sharp sword tip flashed with a flash of light, and instantly stabbed towards Shu Shichu. Shu Shichu was like a nimble kite, easily avoiding his attack and slapping his shoulder with his backhand.
Her palms were obviously slender, cute, white and tender, just like the hands of other ladies whose fingers had never been touched by water, and they didn't seem to have any lethality at all.
But although Shu Shichu's palm seemed light, only Liu Yanzhi who was facing her knew how fast it was. He had clearly seen that delicate palm and wanted to avoid it, but somehow he couldn't avoid it. That light palm seemed to gently pat his shoulder, but his shoulder was like being hit by a huge rock falling from the sky. He felt a sharp pain in an instant, and even his movements slowed down.
His movements were slow, but Shu Shichu's movements were unimpeded. She attacked repeatedly, forcing Liu Yanzhi to retreat again and again.
Fortunately, Liu Yanzhi was not a man of reputation in vain, he still had some strength. After he calmed down, he used the advanced sword skills he had learned to fight against Shu Shichu.
The two men's movements were as swift as the wind, and ordinary people could not see clearly with the naked eye. The Shu family members who were watching the fight in the martial arts field were stunned. They thought that Shu Shichu was already very good as she had just defeated so many people, but they never expected that she could be even stronger when facing a real martial artist.
Now they also realized that she had not used her full strength just now, and now she was using her true strength in the fight with Liu Yanzhi.
"Master Shu, your daughter's martial arts skills are far superior to ours. She is well-known even in the martial arts world. It is true that heroes emerge from youth." One of the invited bodyguards said to Shu's father with great emotion.
"Is Chu'er's martial arts really that high?" Even though Shu's father saw with his own eyes that his daughter could beat these people, he still didn't dare to believe it. After all, the delicate daughter he had raised for more than ten years suddenly became a martial arts master one day. How could this not make people feel unreal?
"Really? With her current skills, she can protect herself when she goes out into the world. Lord Shu, there's no need to worry so much." Another outer disciple from a certain sect who was invited said.
As they were talking, the fight between Shu Shichu and Liu Yanzhi had entered its most intense moment. Shu Shichu took out a long sword at some point, and it was like a thunderous flower of ten thousand swords. Countless lights and shadows flashed around Liu Yanzhi, making him unable to defend himself.
There was murderous intent hidden in Shu Shichu's swings of the sword. Although Liu Yanzhi could still dodge, it was visibly becoming increasingly difficult. Finally, with a whoosh, the sharp sword flashing with a cold light was against his neck. If he made the slightest movement, it would cut his skin in the vital parts.
"I lost." Liu Yanzhi said with a bitter smile, and then looked at Shu Shichu with a complicated expression, "The waves behind push the waves ahead. It is true that there are always people better than you. There are indeed martial arts geniuses in this world. Miss Shu, I admit defeat."
"Thank you for letting me win. I was just lucky." Since the other party was so respectful, Shu Shichu would not force him to do anything, so he said to Liu Yanzhi politely, "I was just taking advantage of the situation. If I were to compete with Master Liu in internal strength, I probably wouldn't be able to win."
Liu Yanzhi shook his head and said, "No matter what, this proves your strength. Besides, not everyone can take shortcuts. Miss Shu's talent is really amazing. In time, you should be famous in the martial arts world."
"Then I'll appreciate your advice." Shu Shichu smiled. She didn't care whether it was a good reputation or not. She only knew that the underworld was freer and more relaxed than the wealthy families, and it would not restrict her, so she was very happy.
Liu Yanzhi withdrew, and Shu's father had no choice but to look at the hero he had invited: "Hero Jiang, I wonder if you are interested in sparring with my daughter?" He still did not give up and placed his last hope on Hero Jiang.
But Jiang Daxia shook his head, his serious face showing a complex expression of helplessness and sighing, and said: "It's not necessary. Miss Shu's skills are no less than mine at this time, and she may even be better than me. Because if I fight with Brother Liu, Brother Liu is more likely to win."
The Shu family didn't expect that Jiang Da Xia would admit defeat without even fighting, and they were all shocked.
Brother Shu blurted out, "Does that mean if your sister fights with you, you can't beat her?"
Father Shu immediately glared at his eldest son and apologized to Jiang Daxia: "I'm sorry, my son doesn't know how to speak, and I offended you."
At this time, Brother Shu also realized that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized to Hero Jiang.
Hero Jiang didn't care at all, instead he admitted very frankly: "You are right, if I fight with your sister, I will probably lose, there is nothing to hide. In the practice of martial arts, the master is the one who is more experienced. I will not use my age or seniority to suppress your sister just because she is better than me in martial arts."
Seeing how magnanimous he was, the Shu family felt embarrassed. Knowing that he really would not compete with Shu Shichu, they entertained these people well and sent them away.
After these people left, Shu Shichu happily went to his father and said, "Dad, I defeated them all. You have to keep your word and allow me to venture into the martial arts world."
Father Shu asked her with a bitter face: "Do you really want to leave your parents and go to the chaotic world to suffer?"
Shu Shichu knew that he was worried about her, but she didn't want to be a well-behaved young lady, so she said to her father bluntly:
"Dad, I don't want to stay at home and be a lady without freedom. Like other girls, I have to get married and have children when I reach a certain age. I am trapped in a small inner house, helping my husband's family manage complicated household chores, fighting with my sisters-in-law, and being jealous of my husband's concubines... I feel painful just thinking about this oppressive and painful life. I don't want to live such a dark and unrelieved life.
Dad, I heard that women in the martial arts world can travel freely like men, and can take revenge as they please. As long as their martial arts skills are high enough, no one dares to question what they do... That kind of free and unrestrained life is exactly what I want to live."
