Chapter 14 The First Fight

Huang Jin was obviously not a man who was disloyal to love, and he was not even a bad man. He studied hard for so many years in order to be outstanding. And the reason was that he did it for this female ghost in red in front of them and wanted her to live a better life after marrying him.

Thus, Huang Jin could bring a machete which he had never used to snatch a bride in Zhuyu Town. It was rare for a scholar to pick up a machete, but Huang Jin didn’t care for the sake of this woman. However, when he faced death, he might be willing to die, but as somebody asked abruptly, he would be scared. So it was not his fault to shake his head.

But women didn’t like to listen to reasons, and perhaps this female ghost didn’t like to, either.

Li Fuyao grabbed the machete and looked at the female ghost whose face turned ferocious. He cautiously kicked Huang Jin’s back, but the latter didn’t stand up after coming back to reality. Huang Jin just stared at the female ghost in red and looked doubtful, “Hehua, why did you want to kill me?”

Li Fuyao was astonished by Huang Jin’s stupid question and rolled his eyes, thinking, “Does a female ghost need a reason to kill somebody?”

The female ghost in a bright red wedding dress gazed at Huang Jin and sneered, “All the men disloyal to love are supposed to die. You are the same, and so is he.”

Li Fuyao suffered injustice for no reason and showed a cold face, asking calmly, “Can you decide our life and death?”

Huang Jin stared at that female ghost for a long time and stated with certainty, “You are not Hehua.”

Li Fuyao didn’t ask him stupid questions such as “how did you know” and just raised his brows, questioning, “Then why are you still in front of me?”

Huang Jin felt wronged and looked at Li Fuyao, “I need to ask where Hehua is.”

Li Fuyao kept quiet and pushed away Huang Jin in front of him. He looked at that female ghost. There was no emotion except indifference in her eyes. Then he said seriously, “Since you are not her, we have nothing more to say. We can’t avoid a fight. After fighting, I have something else to do.”

Something else as Li Fuyao mentioned was to look for Qing Huai. This teenage genius girl from the demonic land was nowhere to be found after entering this mansion. He felt that she wouldn’t be trapped by something secret in this house, but he was still restless as he couldn’t see her.

At the moment, obviously, if he didn’t handle the female ghost in red, he couldn’t go to look for Qing Huai but would even lose his life here.

Li Fuyao’s palm which grabbed the machete was a little pale, and he was highly concentrated. Although he had learnt swordsmanship for a few months from Chen Sheng who was in a high stage and had reached the first stage of swordsmen, the Intent Stage, he had no chance or possibility to have a life-and-death fight in Baiyu Town. Chen Sheng was a swordsman in the Dawning Stage and could make a river stop flowing with his sword randomly. How could he be Li Fuyao’s practice partner?

So this fight would be Li Fuyao’s first fight after he started cultivating and be very important to him. It was important not because it would be helpful to promote his stage, but if he lost, he would probably be killed.

It was certainly important to fight for life.

So after grabbing the machete, Li Fuyao bent one leg slightly and moved the other one step forward. In an instant, the bent leg released strength suddenly and trod on the ground. He jumped and chopped down with the machete ruthlessly. The female ghost in red concealed her sneer and her bright red wedding dress seemed to be blown by the wind from nowhere. She moved backward and tried to avoid the attack. After waving the machete, Li Fuyao shook his wrist before the power disappeared. Then he stopped chopping and intended to stab the female ghost’s heart. She said in a cold voice, “Boy, you are young, but you are so vicious.”

Li Fuyao didn’t have time to talk with her. After he stabbed, the energy movements in his heart came out along the meridians in his arm and went to the blade, like rivers entering the sea. He was in a low stage and couldn’t spread out his sword Qi, but when the energy movement extended on the blade, it became a dazzling white light. After Li Fuyao waved the weapon again, the white light was stronger and made Huang Jin behind him almost unable to open his eyes.

The female ghost covered half of her face with her sleeve and mocked, “It’s rare to meet a cultivator in such a remote place. Do you really think that I am an ordinary lonely ghost?”

Li Fuyao gritted his teeth and insisted, waving the machete to break the wedding dress, but the female ghost just moved backward a bit and put her white palm on the blade. He immediately felt that this machete was heavy, with a weight of five hundred kilograms seemingly.

He was petrified and the machete was going to fall from his hand.

Li Fuyao grasped the machete tightly and didn’t care even when the part of his hand between the thumb and the index finger was bleeding.

He retreated with difficulty and took the machete off the ghost’s hand.

There was sneer on the female ghost’s pale face, “You came out for the first time, right? What a pity. It will be your last trip in the human world.”

Li Fuyao’s face was sullen, but he still responded peacefully, “I will repeat what I have said. You can’t decide our life and death.”

Afterward, Li Fuyao rushed forward all of a sudden and strode over the pavilion, seeming to risk his life decisively, but when he almost approached the female ghost, he stopped abruptly and uplifted the machete. The blade was half an inch away from her, and nobody knew why.

Such a slight action distracted the female ghost. She asked in surprise, “Aren’t you a cultivator from the three religious sects?”

Li Fuyao didn’t reply but pointed the blade tip at the female ghost’s nose.

Then he clenched his teeth, and all the remains of the energy movements in his heart rushed out, causing a white light to explode in the blade tip, which was dazzling.

The female ghost frowned and moved backward, with her back leaning against the rockery. For the first time, she carefully looked the teenager with a machete up and down.

Since the white light exploded but couldn’t injure the female ghost, it meant that Li Fuyao didn’t have other ways. He breathed deeply as he stood there and it was his first time to find that the human world was much more dangerous than he had imagined.

Huang Jin who was behind him was dumbfounded to see their fight. Now that Li Fuyao stopped, he knew that the teenager was at a disadvantage. But he was a weak scholar and couldn’t help him. So he was just nervous but could do nothing.

Li Fuyao suddenly raised his head and grinned.

It was because he indistinctly heard somebody call him.

That person called him idiot.
