Chapter 125 - Sparring With Elder Jing
Elder Jing and Yang Wei remained in a daze for a while before sitting down as they sighed softly.
"Jing Feng, why bother ourselves with the demons when it's only our inference that the demons might still be hiding somewhere in the mysterious realm?" Yang Wei said as he gave her a smile.
There wasn't a reason for them to stress about this information when the demons haven't even appeared. It would only be problematic if the demons appeared in front of them, proving the ancient text notes to be correct.
Not to mention, the ancient text could be referring to the events in the past and not likely the present.
Elder Jing nodded her head as she agreed with Yang Wei. 'If worse comes to worst then I might as well retreat back to the Northern Continent and meet up with my family.'
Afterward, Elder Jing stood up and stared at Yang Wei with an evil grin on her face.
Yang Wei turned pale as he was scared of Elder Jing whenever she showed a creepy and evil grin at him.
'N-Not good…' Yang Wei cried inwardly as there was no escape and no one would be here to save him from Elder Jing's grasp.
They were currently isolated from the rest of the people in other sects since they were still qualified to challenge the Pagoda's trial whereas he and Elder Jing were evicted.
"Yang Wei, come over here and stop walking back already." Elder Jing said when she saw Yang Wei taking some mini-steps away from her.
Yang Wei shuddered as he wanted to refuse her request but his intuition is telling him to simply listen.
'My intuition is rarely wrong so I can only hope that Jing Feng would forget about the stealing incident,' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.
Afterward, he showed a determined expression as he walked toward Elder Jing with his back straight.
He was ready to face anything that Elder Jing was about to do to him and he would face it like a man.
"You don't have to be so frightened when all I'm going to do is do some sparring with you," Elder Jing said gently as she retrieved a sword out from her spatial ring.
Yang Wei was dumbfounded by the sword's appearance as he never saw Elder Jing using it until now.
Elder Jing's sword was extremely sharp and had a profound aura that seemed ready to slice down anything upon impact.
If Yang Wei was correct then the sword that Elder Jing took out was most likely a spiritual treasure and one that was specifically crafted for her.
"What sword is that?" Yang Wei then asked as he glanced over the exquisite details in the sword, almost like it's an artwork instead of a weapon.
Elder Jing smiled pridefully as she said, "My sword is called a Jadeite Sword and it has a special meaning for me."
'Special meaning?' Yang Wei raised his eyebrow slightly as he wondered what kind of special meaning from the Jadeite Sword could make Elder Jing smile in a blissful mood.
However, Yang Wei didn't get a chance to ask when Elder Jing rushed him to retrieve his weapon.
"Hurry up and retrieve your weapon otherwise, don't blame me if I force you to swallow three Stomach Killer for wasting my time," Elder Jing shouted slightly in anger as she retreated 3 meters away from Yang Wei.
Elder Jing was in her fighting stance as she glared at Yang Wei who was still standing in a daze.
Yang Wei could feel Elder Jing's threatening gaze at him so he quickly took out his sword and pointed toward Elder Jing.
"Why are we sparring so suddenly?" Yang Wei asked as he held onto the hilt of his sword while focusing on Elder Jing's movement.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing kicked the ground slightly and propelled herself to gain some momentum as she raised her sword to strike him down from the left side.
Yang Wei quickly raised his sword to block Elder Jing's strike.
"Aren't you cheating by attacking without any warning or heads up?" Yang Wei complained as he was forced to retreat back due to the strong force from Elder Jing's strike.
Elder Jing laughed as she used her movement technique to continue her assault on Yang Wei.
"Although it's a spar, who in their right mind would tell their enemies that they are attacking now," Elder Jing said as she continued to force Yang Wei to retreat further.
Yang Wei had no chance of countering the attack at all since Elder Jing has been relentless the entire time, leaving zero opportunity for Yang Wei to even go on the offense once.
'This is so unfair,' Yang Wei cried inwardly when he could feel Elder Jing started restricting him with her cultivation base.
Sometime later, when Yang Wei was completely exhausted from the constant attack, Elder Jing suddenly stopped and smiled.
"So how was the sparring experience?" Elder Jing asked despite Yang Wei panting heavily on the ground.
There were multiple scratches in his clothes but zero injuries were inflicted onto his body and Yang Wei knew that Elder Jing had held back her strength otherwise, he would have long been knocked out.
"Would you believe me if I said I enjoyed our sparring a lot?" Yang Wei said sarcastically as he felt like a punching bag instead of being a sparring partner for Elder Jing.
Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders at his response. "Since you enjoyed the sparring a lot then I shall give you 3 minutes to rest up before we begin the spar again."
Afterward, Elder Jing retrieved a small cloth from her spatial ring as she sat down and started wiping the Jadeite Sword with extreme care.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei had a bittersweet taste in his mouth as he was not ready for another sparring.
'Is this Elder Jing way of torturing me for being a thief?' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as 3 minutes quickly passed by.
