Khoru VS Qiu Wei

- - 1 Hour Later - -

Everyone had went back to their seats and settled down now; the intermission was over. The supreme elder slowly walked back to his seat, and just before sitting down, he pointed at the man announcing the competitors.

"N-Number 10, and number 12... Please enter the stadium." The man had been through an emotional rollercoaster and didn't dare to be surprised by anything else, but his heart stopped when he heard his own words.

Everyone amongst the crowd stopped speaking as well.

They all had one thought in their minds.

The bastard child is fighting Qiu Wei?

He's going to be absolutely destroyed!

They all felt pity for Khoru, some didn't even want to watch the match unfold. Not only did Qiu Wei blatantly diss all of her siblings, it was clear to everyone that she hated Khoru.

So now that she was fighting him in the competition...

What would happen?

"I heard last week that Qiu Wei issued a duel to the bastard child!"

"Really, what did he say?"

"H-He actually agreed to it!"

"What?!"

Numerous people were shocked when they overheard the conversation stemming from the left side of the crowd. They didn't know if it was true or not, but if it was, then they believe that Khoru was truly an idiot!

Why would you accept a challenge from your worst nemesis?!

The one person who probably wanted you dead the most!

Multiple people wanted to facepalm themselves, but they refused and watched the fight unfold.

It would undoubtedly be a good match.

"Looks like you don't have to worry about that duel of yours, we're having it right now." Khoru said as he summoned his Martial Spirits. His gaze turned cold as he observed Qiu Wei. She summoned her Martial Spirit, the rapier, and raised it gracefully.

"I'll cripple you today, if not kill you." She responded. Without any prior warning, her body completely vanished in a cloud of dark mist and appeared elsewhere. She reappeared right behind Khoru, in the air to be exact.

Her rapier pierced downward like a thorn aiming for Khoru's head. She was serious and truly intended to cripple him!

Khoru's eyes flickered as he used his blue sword and blocked the strike without even turning around. Then, he used that opportunity to turn around and counterattack, though it was useless.

His strike eventually met empty air. Khoru felt an impending threat from behind him again, causing him to grit his teeth.

He turned around only to meet Qiu Wei's pivoting body. She maintained a close vicinity around him; rapier-length for convenience. Khoru didn't have any movement or footwork skills, so he was having trouble.

'Does he not have any movement skills? Foolish.' Qiu Wei thought in her head as she pierced forward multiple times with her rapier. Despite Khoru not having any movement skills, he still managed to evade every last one of her attacks.

"I've had enough of this! Stop sticking to me like a little rodent!" Khoru shouted as he brought his swords down, creating a shock wave that pushed Qiu Wei a few maters away from him. Khoru took this chance to rush Qiu Wei and execute his sword art.

He tried to slash forward but Qiu Wei's rapier was already there to stop it. Luckily, he had two swords to fight with.

A wicked smile cross his face as he dragged both swords through the stadium and slashed upward, sending wild yin and yang energies flying up like a reversed waterfall.

The air looked black and white for a split second before quickly going back to normal.

Qiu Wei dodged every incoming attack with her movement skills, but only by a hair's width. She was bewildered at the fact that one easy mess-up would cause her the battle, and probably even her life.

She could clearly feel the power coming from Khoru's swords and his sword art.

Every strike he launched was stronger than the last and evoked more and more yin and yang energies.

By now, his swords had black and white trails behind them that bent the air every time they moved.

'This is the hurdle I have to get over. Using the final strike and moving into the beginning of the technique within the same instance...' Khoru thought to himself. He wasn't too worried about Qiu Wei since she wasn't using that weird skill.

Qiu Wei's face gradually turned uglier and uglier with every hit. Khoru never stopped attacking no matter which way she dodged, he even chopped up the stadium. Pieces of rock flew and yin and yang energies erupted.

"Back away!" She shouted as she raised her rapier in the air and then at Khoru.

"Beseech the heavens and stow away the light! Darkness Lasers!" Her words echoed throughout the courtyard as she pierced forward with her rapier, sending lasers flying at light speed in every direction.

Khoru fought back, using his sword art and yin and yang energies to repel the lasers; granted they were exceptionally strong.

He felt that if he was hit by just one, he'd probably perish!

"Troublesome! I should've invested in more skills!" Khoru severely regretted not visiting the library for more sword skills, or else he'd have a much easier time fighting his half-sister.

Suddenly, a giant laser beam that was black and purple flew right at him. Khoru gritted his teeth and pierced through the laser beam with both his swords. The laser beam was cut in half due to the violent yin and yang energies.

Khoru approached Qiu Wei with haste and brandished his blades with immense speed. He swung his swords so fast that they started to create violent winds that swept up bits of rocks on the stadium.

In those small cyclones were bits of yin and yang energies!

Khoru swung his swords unceasingly until he reached a point where he finally slashed outward with his swords, executing the last stroke of the Air Collapsing Yin-Yang sword art!

A violent storm of yin and yang energies was created and quickly turned into a tornado that followed Qiu Wei everywhere she went.

She was troubled by this as every time she shot lasers at the tornado, nothing would happen. A hole would be made in the tornado, but that was all.

"I didn't expect him to be this good. No matter though." Qiu Wei muttered to herself as she observed Khoru, who had a wicked smile painted across his face.

Like upside-down arcs!
