The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao looked at the person in front of him. The opponent was a man with a burly physique and long hair, his clothes were shredded and broken from places and he held a big sword on his back. This made him confused. He did not understand where this guy found such a big sword.

The opponent looked at his face and asked, "What is it?"

Yang Dao said, "Will you answer a few questions before we begin?"

The man nodded generously at this. He could tell that Yang Dao was new here. It can be considered an act of kindness among these sinners to answer each other's doubt just before a death battle so the person can pass away with no burden in their hearts.

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Why do you want to get my room?"

The man replied, "That is because the higher the room is the better healing carving it will have. The pattern on the floor. You must have seen it, right?" watching the boy nod he continued, "That pattern is the healing channel of a sort. The energy will heal your wounds a lot quicker than any hospital out there."

Yang Dao nodded and asked again, "Where did you get the sword?"

The man said, "Killed someone and took it from him." this answer was expected by Yang Dao, after all, he had also snatched a pair of knives from the blonde last time.

He nodded at this reply and held his knife in two different grips. The knives were held differently, one had a reverse grip while the other had a normal grip. Yang Dao placed his right foot slightly ahead of his left. His right shoulder also moved ahead of his left shoulder. His breath was calm and his gaze was firm.

The man on the other side watched this and nodded, he took the broadsword on his back and held it with two hands. The tip of the sword was aimed diagonally at Yang Dao's head. His gaze was calm yet sharp. The Dao Child could sense the power radiating from the man as soon as he took his stance.

This made his war spirit to be excited a little. Yang Dao has a little battle experience. He may have fought hyper-humans but his encounters with elementalists were rare. That too, the wicked and broken ones. This place mysteriously allowed the fallen elementalists to be able to use their skills again.

The third level of elementalists needed the people to take an oath of not committing harm to nature but this place defied this logic. Yang Dao was very curious and confused about this but that was something he will look into later when he had crossed the level of the contractor in the fire element.

The two people stood facing each other, with their gazes locked with each other. Yang Dao had just refilled his tanks with source energy and he was practicing when he was called out so his body was like a car already geared and ready to go.

The man moved and so did the young teenager in front of him. Yang Dao held the knife in his right hand in a reverse grip while the left one was normal. He saw the man swinging his sword at himself and moved forward even faster.

Yes, instead of dodging the blow he had decided to use the soft and hard technique to counter this incoming slash. The other person was scared to see that Yang Dao had such a keen perception of his attack.

The dao child was trying to hold him back from using law skills at this first battle. As the blade was about to make contact with his neck he raised his left hand and the knife in his hand made a hard screeching sound as it slid over the sword blade. Yang Dao was moving forward as the blades collided.

He used his utmost physical strength to block the attack in such a dangerous manner, this was his only chance as well, the attack range of the broad sword was much larger than the pair of knives he held. Just when he was about to slash at the man in front of him, he sensed a vague wave of warmth coming from the back of his head.

He was aware that this man was at least an elemental contractor so he can bend the source energy of fire in the surroundings to make it into flames. Without hesitation, he moved to the side to avoid the heatwave from his back. However, he did not give up on advancing at all. He took a step diagonally to the left of the man.

The man saw this and his pupils were dilated to pinpoints. He did not expect this boy to take such a route, he was surprised that his trick failed and the chance of his comeback became even lower until he managed to pull off an amazing trick.

Yang Dao would not give him a chance to avoid his attack so easily. The knife in his left hand was glowing from the fire source energy wrapped around it. The boy stabbed forward with the glowing knife in his hand at the man's eyes.

The man let go of the sword grip from his right hand and raised it to protect his eye, but Yang Dao was even crueler, he did not stop at throwing the second knife and delivering a cunning and critical injury to the left wrist of the man.

The wrist was injured and could not hold on to the broadsword, letting it fall to the ground. Yang Dao was quick to grab the sword and with no hesitation, he slashed at the man's neck.

The person did not even have a chance to react when the blade left a line of blood on his neck. The man looked at the teenager in front of him in disbelief and after a few seconds, the surprise became a sad grin radiating his bitterness.
