Chapter 9 Flipping the Face

In the face of the sudden sword energy!

Chu Tianan never expected such a situation. His strong desire to survive propelled him to move at the fastest speed, and his figure appeared several meters away as he angrily exclaimed, "What do you mean by this!"

No wonder Chu Tianan was not angry, because the beautiful girl in front of him was the one who had attacked with the sword.

Chu Tianan never expected that despite saving her, she now wanted to take his life. If he had been a little slower in dodging the previous sword, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"You actually dodged it." The girl holding the sword was surprised to see Chu Tianan swiftly evade her close-range attack. She had not anticipated that he would dodge at such a close distance.

"Answer me!" Seeing the sword-wielding girl remain silent, Chu Tianan's anger grew deeper.

But the response to him was a flash of red light and a sword!

Clang!

The intense collision of their weapons created a fierce gust of wind around them, sweeping away the fallen branches and leaves on the ground.

Chu Tianan held the Yantian Sword and was evenly matched with the girl holding the giant sword. He was both angry at her sudden attack and secretly helpless.

He had saved her, and without him, this beautiful girl would have died in the mouths of those demon wolves.

Human nature!

"You actually blocked it." In contrast, the girl holding the sword was astonished. She was well aware of the strength of her attack. Even senior martial artists would not easily withstand it, but Chu Tianan seemed to handle it effortlessly.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The light sword made a piercing sound as it cut through the Yantian Sword. It seemed like it was about to slash Chu Tianan's neck, but he leveraged his strength to retreat and then swiftly moved forward, striking back with a sword.

Clang!

The Yantian Sword emitted a faint sword energy, and the powerful hidden force burst forth. Chu Tianan's sword pushed back the girl with the giant sword in just two simple rounds of attack.

They had reached a stalemate!

Inside the temple, it was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Seeing that the girl did not immediately attack, Chu Tianan forcibly suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

At that moment, Chu Tianan just wanted a reason.

After all, he had no interest in the treasure that the girl coveted. Killing him was simply illogical.

In response, the girl with the sword, with her gem-like eyes, remained unfazed. Her golden hair gently swayed in the wind as she held the giant sword at her height and softly said, "You saved me, so I... I have to kill you!"

"What kind of reason is that?" Chu Tianan rolled his eyes. He did not expect her to be so straightforward, with no room for negotiation.

"Well... then let me think of another reason." The girl furrowed her brows, and to Chu Tianan's astonishment, she actually started to think seriously, leaving him speechless.

"I have to kill you because I must devote myself wholeheartedly to the path of a martial artist. If you're alive, you will disturb my true purpose and make me think of you all the time. If you're dead, although I will be sad for a while, I won't have to think about you every day."

Faced with the girl's serious reason, Chu Tianan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but roar, "Are you crazy!"

...

In the quiet temple, because of Chu Tianan's roar, faint growls of demon beasts could be heard in the distance.

"Beasts are coming!" Chu Tianan, holding the Yantian Sword, noticed the alarm on his detector and said coldly.

"Now that you're fine, let's part ways here. Give me a high-level healing potion, and we'll call it even."

As he spoke, the girl in black was about to leave, but the red light of the giant sword attacked again, completely infuriating Chu Tianan.

"Don't go too far! I don't want to fight with you!" The Yantian Sword was used to block the attack, and Chu Tianan and the girl confronted each other with full force. Their swords clashed, and their strengths were almost evenly matched.

Squeak! Squeak!

It seemed that some low-level beast soldiers, shadow mice, had quickly sneaked into the temple and noticed the two figures confronting each other.

Squeak! Squeak!

The shadow mice had discovered the humans and were about to call for their companions.

"Get lost!" The girl in yellow, using her advanced martial artist strength, shouted loudly, scaring the weak demon beasts away.

It was as if she was saying, "You're disturbing us, go away, go away..."

Seeing this, Chu Tianan was both angry and helpless. This girl was really ruthless. Even the demon beasts were afraid of her. It made him wonder how terrifying she must be!

"I can't entangle with her. I must leave quickly!" With his decision made, Chu Tianan couldn't afford any delay, fearing that a large number of demon beasts would come looking for them.

Once surrounded by demon beasts, it would be a disaster for Chu Tianan, who was only a senior martial artist.

So, using the Yantian Sword, Chu Tianan pushed away the girl's giant light sword and leaped onto the roof. Looking down at the girl who was about to pursue him, he said, "Give up, you can't catch up with me!"
