I alone am the Honoured One!

*clank* Zahra Ashante parried the incoming slash with the twin daggers in her hand but was blown away by the immense force behind the attack.

*woosh* She landed on the grassyland and glared at Yu Hua who was walking towards her with a silver sword in her hand.

"Damn bitch! Why are you so strong?!"

*swish* Yu Hua disappeared from her place and reappeared in front of Zahra Ashante as a metallic glint passed through her sword.

*sleesh* She gave a horizontal slash aiming at her head and Zahra Ashante dodged that in the nick of time and took three steps back, her heart thumping in dread.

"Are you trying to kill me, idiot?"

Yu Hua smirked and spoke "It is not my fault that you are weak."

Zahra Ashante's lips twitched in frustration as she replied "We both are at the same level of cultivation."

After dual cultivating with Zhao Tian and removing the seal, Zahra Ashante has also reached the peak of the Monarch Astral Stage.

But still, she couldn't match Yu Hua...

Letting out a soft sigh, Yu Hua spoke "You are trained to be an assassin not a warrior, so of course you can't defeat me if we fight head-on and I have more experience than you."

Zahra Ashante rolled her eyes and twirled the daggers in her hands "But I excel in agility."

*woosh* Leaving green trails of energy, Zahra Ashante used her wind elemental and hurled towards Yu Hua at top speed.

Yu Hua squinted her eyes and concentrated on her Astral Sense "Behind?"

*clank* Yu Hua quickly turned around and blocked the sharp dagger as she clicked her tongue in annoyance "Tch, shameful... attacking from behind."

Zahra Ashante kicked Yu Hua's sword and jumped four steps back "Oh come on, I am not a warrior to have pride and shit."

"I am an assassin."

Yu Hua's eyebrow twitched and she slashed her sword at Zahra Ashante as a large slash of white energy appeared from her sword.

"Oi, Oi, Oi!" Zahra Ashante's death instincts kicked in and she swiftly dodged the slash.

*boom* The slashed cleaved a large portion of the land, splitting it into two as dust swirled around in the air.

But in the next instant, the land began to merge itself and quickly the huge cleave on the land disappeared as it became fresh.

"Wow! that's so cool."

Zahra Ashante muttered in awe looking at that "The one who created this artifact is really powerful."

Yu Hua sighed in her heart as she remembered Zhao Tian "The First Honoured one..."

Yesterday night, all of the women gathered and yapped a lot about High Stars, about Zhao Tian's physique and his mysterious origins.

Yu Hua was still in a state of shock as she remembered the things she heard about Zhao Tian yesterday.

*swiish8 "What are you day dreaming about, you cheater?"

Zahra Ashante asked in a mocking tone as she pierced her dagger at Yu Hua and she defly parried the attack.

Hm? Yu Hua raised an eyebrow in confusion "Cheater? me?"

Zahra Ashante pushed the dagger but Yu Hua raised her leg and attempt to kick.

However, Zahra Ashante easily twisted her body dodging the kick and replied "Of course, you are..."

"You used Astral energy in our fight. We agreed on to fight with swords only."

Yu Hua shrugged her hands "You are the one who first used it to enhance your agility with wind elemental."

Zahra Ashante frowned her eyebrows and answered "i didn't use it for offense though, so you are still a cheater."

Yu Hua giggled upon hearing this "Well, I actually didn't use Astral energy, I used my sword spirit energy."

As she muttered, a white aura began to ooze out from Yu Hua's body and feeling the sharp energy Zahra Ashante felt a shiver run down her spine.

Her eyelashes trembled in dread 'So this is the Assassin killer, Yu Hua... glad I am not her enemy.'

With a smile playing on her lips, Yu Hua raised the sword above her head and mumbled "Dodge this."

She lowered her blade and an enormous white slash materialized out of thin air dashing towards Zahra Ashante at insane speed.

*flick* Seeing the slash inching close to her, Zahra Ashante thought of jumping to the side, however, at this time, she saw a sharp metallic glint at the corner of her eyes.

Huh?

*clank* Another blade swiftly intercepted the slash and the white slash was disappeared into cinders.

Hm? Yu Hua's eyes narrowed as she glanced at the white haired woman standing in front of her.

Yu Hua was confused and asked in a solemn tone "And who are you? I didn't saw you yesterday night."

Before Yu Hua arrived within the artifact, Shi Yixian had intense sex with Zhao Tian trying to subdue his pure Yang energy and as she got tired, she fell asleep.

Looking at the sharp aura around Yu Hua, Shi Yixian frowned slightly "An unpolished gem." she mumbled under her lips.

Hm? Yu Hua tilted her head in confusion and as she tried to see through Shi Yixian's cultivation she was puzzled 'She has no cultivation... or she has higher cultivation base than me?'

'She easily deflected my sword attac- *gasp* Yu Hua gasped in shock and her pupils dilated in sheer fear feeling the sharp aura around Shi Yixian.

A white glint passed through Shi Yixian's red eyes as she mumbled "Your sword spirit energy is... not bad."

Yu Hua heart beat raised as she gripped her sword tightly 'Her comprehension of sword intent is higher than mine?'

'How? I thought I have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship... but this woman.'

Looking at the shock in Yu Hua's eyes, Shi Yixian mumbled "Did you thought... you have reached highest level in sword intent? you are still in middle star...."

"And your sword intent is unpolished, probably because you didn't have a master to train you properly."

"But even among the people in Middle stars, yours is not bad."
