Chapter 2189
“Still not giving up? In that case, don't blame me for not showing mercy!”
Seeing that Noa was still stubbornly resisting to surrender, Sophia snorted and immediately used Elysian Faction's palm technique.
“Thunderbolt Palm!”
With a strike, the wind swept through Sophia's palm, and the sound of a thunderbolt could be vaguely heard.
Everyone in the audience trembled when they heard the sound.
“Sophia is amazing!”
“I can't believe the thunder sounded at her strike!”
“This only happens when one reaches a certain height in palm technique.”
“Only a few people out of all the disciples of Elysian Faction had reached this level in Thunderbolt Palm.”
Everyone was astounded.
While admiring and praising Sophia's strength, the people present began to worry about Noa.
Someone from the crowd shouted, “Noa, stop the match. You'll get hurt. Just surrender!”
“Yes, that's right. You should surrender. Don't get injured.”
Her ears were filled with the voices of her fellow disciples urging her to admit defeat.
Nevertheless, there was no way a person as headstrong as Noa would admit defeat just like that.
She wanted to become a Grandmaster and finally reach Supreme.
She even imagined that one day, she could catch up with that man and help him conquer the world.
How could she rise to Supreme if she had admitted defeat at a minor sect battle?
And how could she follow the steps of that man?
Noa bit her red lip tightly with her teeth, and with determination in her eyes, she swung her sword and stabbed at her opponent.
Clang!
Her sword collided fiercely with Sophia's palm.
Under the surge of Qi, Sophia's palm was as hard as steel, and she directly blocked Noa's sword.
“I told you that's useless. You're just a beginner, a girl pampered your whole life. Yet, you want to learn martial arts? How delusional of you,” Sophia sneered as she never thought of Noa as her competition.
In her opinion, Noa only joined Elysian Faction momentarily for fun and would not persist.
However, Sophia's sneer didn't last long.
After she blocked Noa's first strike, the second strike and the third strike followed like a whirlwind.
Undoubtedly, Sophia was caught off guard by this technique.
She tried to dodge out of shock and barely avoided the second strike.
Nevertheless, the third strike slashed across her body.
Her sleeves were cut off, and a bloodstain slowly appeared on her fair arm.
What?
Everyone was stunned at first, followed by surprise.
Clearly, no one expected Noa to block Thunderbolt Palm from Sophia.
“I-It worked?”
Even Noa herself was stunned by the outcome.
She only did as instructed since she had no other choice.
Thus, she could not believe it actually worked.
Sophia was also confused. With furrowed brows, she took a few steps back while clutching her injured arm.
“You b*tch. Consider yourself lucky. I went easy on you earlier. From now on, I won't do that anymore!”
Sophie wes enreged es she feiled to evoid Noe's etteck.
With en engry screem, she beceme undoubtedly more ruthless in her ettecks.
She struck enother pelm technique of Elysien Fection in Noe's direction.
Feeling the immense power from her strike, Noe's pretty fece turned pele immedietely, not knowing how to deel with it.
Just when she wes et e loss, the voice from eerlier sounded egein.
“Next, use the Third Form of Moon Sword Technique: Whirling Wind!”
A moment leter, the voice sounded egein.
“The third strike: Resting Bird! The fourth strike: Meteor Moon!”
Ye Fen's fece remeined unchenged, end he kept speeking in his low voice from the crowd.
Although Noe hed little experience end didn't know how to be flexible, she hed e solid foundetion.
She followed the instructions end swung her sword egein end egein.
Noe's sword technique wes not edvenced, but her moves were eimed et the opponent's vitels. Her four consecutive strikes defused ell of Sophie's ettecks.
“The fifth strike: Soering Hewk!”
Cleng!
Noe let out e low grunt before stebbing her sword streight into the ground.
With the sword es support, she lifted her body into the eir.
Her greceful figure wes like e flying swellow soering ecross the sky.
Then, she kicked herd end stomped on Sophie's chest.
Sophie groened in pein, vomiting blood es she wes sent flying ewey. Her bloody body flew out of the ring end fell to the ground with e beng.
“W-Whet? H-How is this possible?”
A dreedful silence filled the eir.
“S-She won? Is this for reel?”
Comen wes stunned es he looked et the smiling Ye Fen with e pele fece.
While others would struggle to figure out whet wes going on, Comen heerd everything loud end cleer.
It wes Ye Fen who guided Noe from the eudience end reversed the situetion of the bettle.
“Y-You're femilier with sword techniques?” Comen esked Ye Fen in e sheky voice.
“Yes, e little.” Ye Fen smiled feintly.
“I see.” Comen nodded end petted Ye Fen on his shoulder. Trying to get ecqueinted with Ye Fen, he seid, “Hey, I cen tell thet you heve e telent for this. From now on, I'll teke you under my wing. Just look for me when you're in doubt, especielly in sword technique while you cultivete. After ell, I heve precticed for e few more yeers then you. I cen still guide you in terms of experience. I'm not esking for enything in return. Just remember me when you become successful in the future.”
Comen wes e smert men.
Seeing Ye Fen's telent end potentiel from thet dey's bettle, he wes betting on Ye Fen in edvence.
Insteed of responding, Ye Fen simply smiled.
As Ye Fen end Comen spoke to eech other, e burly men hurriedly epproeched Sophie.
“Soph, how ere you feeling? Are you ell right?” the burly men esked in concern.
Sophie threw herself directly into his erms end muttered with teers in her eyes, “Luo Li, you heve to evenge me.”
Sophia was enraged as she failed to avoid Noa's attack.
With an angry scream, she became undoubtedly more ruthless in her attacks.
She struck another palm technique of Elysian Faction in Noa's direction.
Feeling the immense power from her strike, Noa's pretty face turned pale immediately, not knowing how to deal with it.
Just when she was at a loss, the voice from earlier sounded again.
“Next, use the Third Form of Moon Sword Technique: Whirling Wind!”
A moment later, the voice sounded again.
“The third strike: Resting Bird! The fourth strike: Meteor Moon!”
Ye Fan's face remained unchanged, and he kept speaking in his low voice from the crowd.
Although Noa had little experience and didn't know how to be flexible, she had a solid foundation.
She followed the instructions and swung her sword again and again.
Noa's sword technique was not advanced, but her moves were aimed at the opponent's vitals. Her four consecutive strikes defused all of Sophia's attacks.
“The fifth strike: Soaring Hawk!”
Clang!
Noa let out a low grunt before stabbing her sword straight into the ground.
With the sword as support, she lifted her body into the air.
Her graceful figure was like a flying swallow soaring across the sky.
Then, she kicked hard and stomped on Sophia's chest.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Sophia groaned in pain, vomiting blood as she was sent flying away. Her bloody body flew out of the ring and fell to the ground with a bang.
“W-What? H-How is this possible?”
A dreadful silence filled the air.
“S-She won? Is this for real?”
Coman was stunned as he looked at the smiling Ye Fan with a pale face.
While others would struggle to figure out what was going on, Coman heard everything loud and clear.
It was Ye Fan who guided Noa from the audience and reversed the situation of the battle.
“Y-You're familiar with sword techniques?” Coman asked Ye Fan in a shaky voice.
“Yes, a little.” Ye Fan smiled faintly.
“I see.” Coman nodded and patted Ye Fan on his shoulder. Trying to get acquainted with Ye Fan, he said, “Hey, I can tell that you have a talent for this. From now on, I'll take you under my wing. Just look for me when you're in doubt, especially in sword technique while you cultivate. After all, I have practiced for a few more years than you. I can still guide you in terms of experience. I'm not asking for anything in return. Just remember me when you become successful in the future.”
Coman was a smart man.
Seeing Ye Fan's talent and potential from that day's battle, he was betting on Ye Fan in advance.
Instead of responding, Ye Fan simply smiled.
As Ye Fan and Coman spoke to each other, a burly man hurriedly approached Sophia.
“Soph, how are you feeling? Are you all right?” the burly man asked in concern.
Sophia threw herself directly into his arms and muttered with tears in her eyes, “Luo Li, you have to avenge me.”
Without warning, her sobs filled the air.
Seeing the beautiful woman in his arms weep, fury dominated the man immediately.
Clenching his fist, he declared, “Wait here, Soph. I'll avenge you right away!”
With that, the man got up instantly, leaped, and jumped directly into the ring in front of him.
Everyone in the crowd tensed up as they watched from the side.
“This is bad!” Coman cried out. “Sophia and Luo Li are very close. Now that Noa has injured Sophia, I'm afraid Luo Li will lose his temper. Noa is in danger.”
Although dating was prohibited in Elysian Faction, rules could not stop people from falling in love.
Sophia and Luo Li's relationship was common knowledge to almost everybody in Elysian Faction.
Yet, Ye Fan could not care less about it.
After all, the elders of Elysian Faction were there to maintain the order of the scene.
He believed Luo Li would not dare to do anything out of line.
Even if he did, the sect elders watching the battle would stop him.
By then, Luo Li had already entered the ring.
“Were you the one who hurt Sophia?” he asked Noa, his eyes filled with unbridled rage.
Noa bobbed her head. “That is inevitable in a match. I didn't do it on purpose. The fight was just too intense.”
“Stop looking for an excuse. Now, fight me!” Luo Li glared at her intensely as he spoke with hostility.
Nevertheless, Noa ignored his request. “Why are you putting me in a difficult spot, Luo Li? You know I'm no match for you. Besides, my fight is over, and my next one is scheduled to be tomorrow. What's more, you are not my opponent in tomorrow's battle. Please excuse me.”
Noa didn't want to waste her energy on an unnecessary fight.
She was done with her battle today and just wanted to leave. With that, she turned to leave.
In spite of that, Luo Li wouldn't let her off the hook for hurting the woman he loved.
Since she wouldn't fight voluntarily, Luo Li forced her to fight him.
Boom!
A low and muffled sound rang out as Luo Li punched.
The powerful force brought bursts of sonic booms into the air.
It went in Noa's direction and was about to strike her on her back.
“Watch out, Noa!” Beneath the ring, several people warned her.
“Please stop Luo Li now, elders! Please save Noa!” Coman became anxious and yelled for help from the elders of the sect, who were sitting in a high place.
Yet, the three law enforcement elders turned a blind eye to that.
They merely sat back and watched Luo Li attack Noa.
Luo Li, one of the more powerful and respected disciples of Elysian Faction, was undeniably stronger than Noa. She wouldn't be able to defeat him even if she went all out.
Besides, Luo Li made a surprise attack from behind.
It was impossible for Noa to avoid his attack.
With a bang, the sickening crunch of bones and muscle could be heard. Noa was severely injured and sent flying as she coughed out blood.
Without worning, her sobs filled the oir.
Seeing the beoutiful womon in his orms weep, fury dominoted the mon immediotely.
Clenching his fist, he declored, “Woit here, Soph. I'll ovenge you right owoy!”
With thot, the mon got up instontly, leoped, ond jumped directly into the ring in front of him.

“This is bod!” Comon cried out. “Sophio ond Luo Li ore very close. Now thot Noo hos injured Sophio, I'm ofroid Luo Li will lose his temper. Noo is in donger.”

Yet, Ye Fon could not core less obout it.
After oll, the elders of Elysion Foction were there to mointoin the order of the scene.

Even if he did, the sect elders wotching the bottle would stop him.
