Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 24
Chapter 24
(9.2)
When the second young master Xu returned to his senses, his heart was determined, the idea that he absolutely had to win was even stronger, a beauty with such cloud-like hair and such a delicate face, even if she was only a concubine-born daughter, but she was still worthy of himself, in the future when the beauty is in his arms, and beautiful concubines in his hands, that kind of life would definitely be god-like.
Xu Lishan intended to show off, so he said: “Miss Xi, you want to let me strike first, but I can not accept your kind intention, so let’s be fair to each other, so that we’re both at peace.”
Xi Heng smiled, did not deny, but also did not express any opinion.
After a few silent counts, Xu Lishan unsheathed his sword, whose hilt was encrusted with gold and precious gems, glittering in the sunlight. When the longsword was spinning around, it emitted a strange color. In two to three steps, like a mad wind, he arrived in front of Xi Heng. He wanted to deal with this person in just one clean and swift move, but unexpectedly Xi Heng dodged sideways, with her long black hair flowing in the wind. She was so fast that he could not react in his time, as she flipped her body, she landed a flying kick, right on Xu Lishan’s lower abdomen.
Xu Lishan practiced heavy martial arts, but he did not expect to be kicked to this vital place, and his face couldn’t help but turn blue from the pain. At this moment, he became furious, and waved his treasure sword so vigorously it was dazzling to the eyes, he turned around in a mid-air turn, very agile with his body, and it looked like he was going to hit her head-on.
Xi Heng, with her back turned, unexpectedly didn’t even retreat, her body was as fast as the wind, like a leopard, and also like a leaf falling in mid-air, her long black hair was swaying along the wind, and with a determined, swift and fierce strength, she hit Xu Lishan’s side waist with a blow. Just as Xu Lishan was breathing in pain, her body, spinning like lightning, attacked him again with a side kick, making Xu Lishan fly three feet away, scraping two marks on the ground beneath.
Xu Lishan could no longer hide his rage, and started to have a killing intent, his face was swollen and red, and his eyes sockets were about to crack.
Xi Heng slightly smiled in indifference, with some gloominess, the two people fought closely as their sword flashed. Xu Lishan cut a very sorry figure, his body was kicked dozens of times, and every place on his body was swollen, red and purple, while his opponent’s body was extremely fast, between the flowing clothes.
Xi Heng turned around and placed one knee to the ground, and then drew out the sword out of its sheath with her slender and thin hand, making a “ceng” sound, the black and blunt sword was overflowing with a misty cold light.
Xi Xian, who was standing at a distance, let out a small sound of surprise, but no longer cried nor got annoyed. She was just grabbing her cuffs, with a hanging heart.
Xi Heng’s body was nimble, swift and sharp, when her body flipped, it made Xi Xian even forget about her gender, she only felt that even if a grown man was here, he may not be as powerful as her.
Her chest was rising and falling, and she was actually a little glad that she hadn’t gone against her legitimate sister in the beginning. Xi Heng might even be able to strangle her slender throat with just one hand.
And she, aside from dying without a burial place, and cause her concubine mother pain and grief, wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Then she saw, on the martial arts field, Xi Heng rise. Her voice was slow and cold: “You have used your eight strikes.”
Xu Lishan had yet to react, that already the black longsword was in front of his eyes, and in a swish, grazed his neck. Xu Lishan’s was humiliated in his dignity, and was determined not to admit defeat, so he did his utmost to stabilize his body. He raised his palm, about to strike, but he was kicked by a ruthless kick on the neck and fell heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of sand.
Xi Heng stepped on Xu Lishan’s chest with one foot, put her sword back in its sheath and said calmly and elegantly with her eyes looking down, “Xu gongzi, I’m afraid it’s not your turn to get your hands on my sister.”
Xu Lishan didn’t want to admit defeat, and his neck was inflated with blue veins as he scolded, “Get out of the way! I haven’t lost yet, it’s you who’s playing dirty with me ……”
Xi Xian, however, slowly stepped forward, her long skirt winding on the ground, with her slender and soft body, highlighted by the turquoise sky.
She stood at the edge of the martial field looking at Xi Heng with a complicated face before saying, “Xu gongzi, your neck ……”
Xu Lishan reached out to touch his neck, and realized it was full of blood, which scared him so much his eyes rolled, about to faint, but Xi Heng used her foot to maintain his jaw, and from above, he heard her hoarse and cold voice: “What are you fainting for?”
Xu Lishan came back to his senses, his face bitter and yellow.
He knew that if Xi Heng had used a sharpened sword, it would be very likely, that with a few sharp moves, he wouldn’t even have been able to keep his head on his neck. He didn’t want to admit his lack of strength, and also didn’t dare to look at Xi Xian’s disappointed look. In the end, he spat out a sentence with hatred: “You just wait.”
But Xi Heng said coldly, “Hand over the keepsake, from now on you will have nothing to do with my sister.”
Xu Lishan gritted his teeth, willing to accept that he had lost the bet, and took off the delicate purse from his waist, which contained a jade pendant.
Xi Heng took it and lowered her eyes to look at it. Xi Xian’s childhood name was written on it.
Smiling, she lifted her foot and slowly let go of him, while saying indifferently, “Get lost.”
