"Ha-ha-ha, having just one person like me is already too much trouble for you, let alone ten."
The youth joked, but he quickly had to move his sword to parry because, with the movement of a swallow, the girl had already lunged at him.
"Clang-clang-clannnggg.."
Three times their swords clashed, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Both quickly withdrew their swords and felt relieved upon realizing that their blades were not damaged by the hard-on-hard collision. Both were amazed and shocked. Especially Lin Lin. Earlier, she had exerted the energy of *Khong-in-ban-kin*, and she knew that the power contained within this technique was extraordinarily immense. She had used just a little of it earlier against the two *hwesio*, and with a single sweep, their whips were all severed.
Now she used the power of this technique in a sword clash, and the sword in her hand was also a treasured heirloom, so why did her opponent's sword not break or fly away? This only proved that this flat-nosed youth, besides possessing a potent sword, also possessed high skill, capable of resisting the force of *Khong-in-ban-kin* energy. Had the bald, shaven-headed old man *Kim-lun Seng-jin* lied to her and boasted about the prowess of *Khong-in-ban-kin*? That old man had said that rarely would an opponent be able to match the speed and strength of her internal energy when she exerted *Khong-in-ban-kin*, yet now, having just met a flat-nosed youth, her technique seemed meaningless.
On the other hand, the Youth was also shocked and astonished, alongside his growing admiration. Initially, he thought that the agile maiden only possessed extremely fast movements and high-level swordsmanship, which was why she could easily defeat the two insolent *hwesio* earlier. Who would have thought that during the sword clash, he realized that in terms of raw power, the girl did not have to admit defeat to him, and the sword in her hand was also a potent blade capable of withstanding his own heirloom. Yet, his heirloom was the *Goat-kong-kiam* (Moonlight Sword), a rare match, a treasured sword gifted by his master.
"Hmph, just because your sword is potent, you become arrogant, huh? Watch your neck!"
Lin Lin snapped and immediately the girl executed *Khong-in-liu-san* to attack her opponent. This attack was formidable; her sword transformed into rolling yellow light, growing thicker and thicker, forming a mound of slowly moving clouds surrounding the youth from all directions.
The youth let out a suppressed exclamation. He truly hadn't expected this girl to be so formidable. He then fenced with his sword, using a strange martial art, his movements comical, his body swaying like a comedian performing on a puppet stage. Lin Lin almost couldn't hold back her laughter watching these strange and funny movements. However, she was also astonished because wherever her sword struck, it was always evaded or parried by this youth with the odd movements. She had no idea that the youth was holding back significantly, merely defending himself against her fierce attacks, not attempting a serious counterattack. Indeed, the youth did not wish to defeat Lin Lin; his admiration for the girl made him yield and only want to test her skill.
"Amazing... amazing... extraordinary *kiam-hoat*."
The youth praised her repeatedly. However, the more he praised her, the angrier Lin Lin became, as she considered the praise mockery. How could her swordsmanship be praised if she couldn't even press her opponent?
"Counter! Attack! Do you think I'm afraid? If you can defeat me, then you are a true man!"
She challenged him. She was confident because she possessed the *Khong-in-ban-kin* technique, and with this skill, she could utilize perfect *gin-kang*, ensuring she wouldn't be struck by the opponent's sword. They had been fighting for fifteen minutes. The youth's riding horse grew restless, neighing repeatedly in fear. The youth was also frustrated. This girl greatly appealed to him, and he couldn't bear to defeat or overthrow her. However, if he didn't "give her a taste," she certainly wouldn't recognize his prowess, he thought, his masculine pride rising.
"Very well, Miss, behold my sword."
He spun his sword very quickly and exerted energy to press down and suppress the rolling light of the opponent's sword.
This youth was indeed formidable. The force of his air pressure and sword light was extremely strong, startling Lin Lin. Yet, the girl quickly used *Khong-in-ban-kin*; her body became like a shadow, agilely slipping between the sword light. Although she had to admit that all her attacks now failed and dispersed, leaving no opportunity, she could still defend herself against the opponent's pressure. The harder the youth pressed, the more agile Lin Lin's movements became, leaving the youth not only surprised but also astonished and confused. He now knew that this agile maiden was the disciple of a powerful master, as only a few people in the *kang-ouw* world, countable on one's fingers, would be able to evade his sword pressure like this. At that moment, a loud shout was heard,
"*Susiok* (Junior Martial Uncle), this is that wild female devil."
"Hmm, hmm, it seems she relies on her beauty. Watch *pinceng* capture her."
"Let us race, *Sute*, I too feel excited to capture this wild girl."
A second voice followed.
"Hey, *Sicu*, please step back. Let the two of us *pinceng* play around with this brat."
Although the youth and Lin Lin were still clashing, they automatically slowed their movements and glanced over.
It turned out
