Chapter 211: Encounter at the temple (4)

Arial has been proven wrong before

Maybe the Western Serpent has a hidden secret moves that could overturn the decision. Who knows?

After all Western Serpent is not known for her internal energy but for her craftiness. How many times she has fought the Northern Badger and wins with her craftiness?

It is clear that in the clash between the Serpent and the Southern Healer, the one with the most internal energy is the Abbot.

It is not surprising considering the Abbot learns inside the famed Linzi Temple. But, since he did not want to kill Western Serpent, the fight is being continued.

Western Serpent then changes her tactic. Arial watches carefully from a distance how she began to employ her confusing technique.

'She isa genius. How could she track all of this variation of moves?' Arial thought to himself as he looks at her confusing technique for the first time.

If you think she will employ feet technique, she will use palm, if you think she will use palm technique she will use strikes.

The gasping of the crowds and their cheers fill the yard while the monk all takes shelter, fearing that they would get caught in the battle.

Arial sit calmly in the bench just waiting, watching. Around them the tile has turned to rubble, revealing the brown earth.

The torn wall behind the Serpent and the destruction that the Serpent has inflicted on the temple entrance to the Inner temple make you believe that there is just a big battle involving two armies.

They then flew to the roof of one of the thatched house in the yard and resume their fight and as their feet landed on the roof, the roof tile exploded because of the pressure of this two peak experts in martial arts.

Palm against palm, feet against feet as they fight in midair not giving an inch, each blows sounded like thunders.

The elusive and confusing technique of the Serpent have almost made the Abbot fall into her trap.

They do not fight using weapon, but even without weapons both of them are deadly.

But after seeing them clash with each other Arial know there is a fundamental difference between the two.

When engaged in hand to hand combat between two master, lives are always at stake.

The eyes of Western Serpent show determination. She may respect the Abbot but that doesn't mean she would not kill him.

That is the twisted honour that the martial artist lives by.

She is determined to kill; her killing intent can be feel even from here where he is sitting. The defensive action of the Abbot worries him.

A fight is not won by defensive action. If the Abbot attack, some vulnerable point on the Serpent will eventually be open to attack.

But the Abbot try to not kill the Serpent, thus making it harder for his attack to breakthrough.

Some of the spectators have dry lips seeing two of this famous figures fighting. Even the Arathorne brother gulped in excitement looking at the battle.

It has not been even half an hour but the yard looks almost completely destroyed with the tile no longer existing, the brown earth beneath it was turned to mud, the walls is half destroyed, the entrance to the Inner temple look like it would crumble by a breeze of wind.

'Yahh' the Serpent yelled and with her internal energy she kicks the roof of the thatched house and by God the roof flew like a flying knife to the Abbot.

The roof. Not the tile but the entirety of the roof. The Abbot yelled

'Lion Roar!' Arial as shocked because he recognized that technique. It is one of the unique techniques of Linzi Temple.

The technique could frighten enemies with a loud roar but it is more than just that.

It allows the martial artist to take a deep breath, which in turn will allow the martial artist to stream and concentrate his internal energy at one point.

This technique requires a vast internal energy

With that roar in midair he releases a soundwave strike to the speedily approaching roof and

BOOM!

The roof split into two in midair while the spectators below quickly run to avoid the debris. They both landed back at the yard.

They quickly look at each other, gauging each other of their capabilities.

Western Serpent. Southern Healer. They deserve their reputation as Arial watched them with awe. There is much to be learned.

Even though the Western Serpent has been attacking the majority of time, she is sweating and has loss of breath while the Southern Healer seems unfazed.

Even though he is older he is more stable in his pose and he looks at the Serpent with pity.

'Do you meant to kill me child?' The Abbot suddenly said

'I'm not your child' she said adamantly.

'Why won't you use the Light Piercing Finger Technique?' She asks toward the Abbot, anger in her tone, clearly angry thinking that the Abbot took her threat easy

The Abbot shakes his head and answer

'I have no enmity with the Western Sea or the Serpent Island. Why should I harm you?'

'Hmph. Do you think you have won?' she snickered.

'The battle is far from over!' she yelled.

Then she pushes her feet forward and with a leap began using her famed technique The Serpent Bite, a clawing technique that said can rip apart anything.

The Abbot quickly leapt out of the way and her clawing fingers penetrate the stone brick of the inner temple entrance just behind the Abbot.

The inner temple entrance cracked and then when she took back her finger the entrance exploded into rubbles, scaring the audience.

She ripped apart the stone walls with her fingers as one could see the area around her finger seems to be distorted because of her thick internal energy

The Abbot almost got ripped apart by that technique. If the Abbot did not move away that would be him that suffers the fate of that wall.

'A miss' she muttered under her breath.

The people gasped seeing such display of power and began distancing themselves even further from the battle. Now Arial is alarmed. The Abbot need to advance and take the first initiative.

As Arial was thinking of this, the Western Serpent makes his next move

'Maidens attack!' she yelled.

And the white maiden in the corner all sheathe out of their sword obeying the Western Serpent and leapt toward the Abbot.

Arial frowned. He could no longer just remained as a spectator. He could no longer just sit. He takes only a second to make a decision.

'STOP' He yelled.

The moment he yelled that he jumped from the bench, his body emanating his internal energy

The bench was thrown off because of the force of his jump as Arial enters the battle between the Two Immortals
