However, Chu Yun didn’t understand it that way. He thought that by wearing the Demon Armor, Li Xiu’s sword couldn’t possibly pierce through it, posing no threat to him, so the outcome couldn’t be determined yet.
The Demonic Light Patterns on his body erupted once more, moving quickly, while slashing his Light Saber toward Li Xiu.
Li Xiu moved while striking, dodging Chu Yun’s attack, and then pointed his sword tip at him again.
Chu Yun still paid no mind, launching another attack.
The two engaged in close combat, Li Xiu moving gracefully, always managing to dodge Chu Yun’s attacks by a hair’s breadth, each time pointing the sword tip at Chu Yun.
At first, Second Uncle Chu didn’t regard Li Xiu at all, but after watching for a while, his expression gradually turned serious.
Unlike Chu Yun, Second Uncle Chu was a seasoned warrior, and his understanding of Demon Armor far surpassed that of Chu Yun.
Initially, he was just a bit surprised by Li Xiu’s close combat skills, being able to dodge and counterattack so effortlessly even when outmatched in speed and strength. Such skills and combat experience were far beyond what a young person like Chu Yun could compare to.
But what truly shocked Second Uncle Chu was that every time Li Xiu pointed his sword tip, it was at the connecting points of the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint’s Demon Armor. Those connection points were naturally not as hard as armor, and if Li Xiu really struck down, he might actually damage Chu Yun’s Demon Armor.
In front of Li Xiu, Chu Yun was like a toddler who had just learned to walk; even if he held a gun, it would just be an ornament, serving no real purpose.
"Chu Yun, step back." Second Uncle Chu ordered, halting Chu Yun’s continued attacks.
"Why, Uncle? I haven’t beaten him yet." Chu Yun said, not understanding.
"That’s enough. Stop embarrassing yourself." Second Uncle Chu pulled Chu Yun back.
Seeing Chu Yun’s disgruntled expression, Second Uncle Chu said nothing else; even if he wanted to lecture Chu Yun, he would wait until they were back home, not wanting to reprimand him in front of outsiders.
"Your close combat skills are strong, and your experience is very rich. You are somewhat familiar with our White Night City’s Demon Armor, but if you’re not given a chance for close combat, what will you do?" Second Uncle Chu looked at Li Xiu and said, yet there was no trace of disdain in his eyes anymore.
"That would be troublesome; I’m currently just an E-level Trial Taker and don’t have any long-range attack methods." Li Xiu pondered and said.
Second Uncle Chu felt proud, thinking he had found Li Xiu’s weakness and intended to educate him properly, but who knew Li Xiu would continue, "If I can’t engage in close combat, then I’ll have to use Demonic Spirits. That shouldn’t be against the rules, right?"
"Uh, of course not." Second Uncle Chu was momentarily stunned but replied.
"So Chu Jun can stay?" Li Xiu asked.
"If you can pass my challenge, I’ll allow him to stay." Second Uncle Chu said, walking to Chu Yun, taking the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint Demon Armor for himself. While activating the Demon Armor, he said to Chu Yun, "Watch carefully, this is how to truly operate the Cold-Eyed Demon Armor, don’t just rely on brute strength. Operating the Demon Armor requires skill."
Second Uncle Chu planned to use this opportunity to give these young Chu family members a good lesson.
Chu Yun and the other young Magic Armor Masters of the Chu family watched from the side, a little excited. It had been years since Second Uncle Chu had used the Demon Armor in combat; they all wanted to witness the style of the world’s third-ranked Magic Armor Master from back then.
"You’re a friend of Xiao Jun, and I don’t wish to hurt you, so I won’t use long-range attack methods. I’ll give you a chance for close combat." Second Uncle Chu said to Li Xiu.
"Do we still just touch lightly?" Li Xiu looked at Second Uncle Chu and asked.
"That’s correct." Second Uncle Chu condensed a Light Blade, pointed at Li Xiu and said, "Show me all your skills, so you won’t regret losing."
"This blood relation surely can’t be fake, they’re both surnamed Chu, and their personalities are much the same." Li Xiu thought to himself, silently griping, this guy’s personality was no better than Chu Yun’s.
He moved quickly, thrusting his sword toward Second Uncle Chu.
"Watch closely, this is how the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint truly operates." Second Uncle Chu said in a deep voice. White Light Patterns appeared on the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint’s body, as his form moved like a phantom, so fast that it left afterimages in place.
As he moved quickly, Second Uncle Chu slashed out with the Light Saber, the direction of the Light Saber coinciding precisely with his body movement, which increased the speed at which the Light Saber was slashed out and also added force.
Li Xiu secretly activated Frenzied Blood and Super Exciting, his speed suddenly increased, passing by Second Uncle Chu.
"Eh!" Second Uncle Chu’s Light Saber missed, then he found Li Xiu’s Fire Lotus Sword already pointed backhandedly at his nape.
Second Uncle Chu’s body paused immediately, thankfully, he was wearing the Demon Armor, so his face couldn’t be seen, otherwise, his deeply embarrassed, bright red old face would have been visible.
The young ones from the Chu family stared blankly at Second Uncle Chu, unsure of the situation, while Chu Jun had a hard time holding back laughter.
"This strike didn’t hit a vital point, doesn’t count, should we try again?" Li Xiu sheathed his sword and looked at Second Uncle Chu.
Second Uncle Chu said nothing; originally, he intended to reserve some power of the Cold-Eyed Sword Saint, not to unleash it to the fullest extent.
Now it seemed he couldn’t hold back anymore, he had to retrieve the face he just lost.
With a cold light flickering, Second Uncle Chu approached Li Xiu like a ghost, his Light Saber slashing quickly, leaving afterimages all along the way.
