Scene 4 - Xue Vs. Len

The black robed maidens quickly dragged Saren and Ren off to the baths, allowing Xue and Len to step on stage.

Len held her scythe behind her back, her hair covering her expressionless eyes as she waited for the fight to start.

Xue stood across from her, her giant hammer leaning against her shoulder as she leisurely walked forward, her eyes under the mask blazing with excitement.

Len looked down and murmured, “Sister… I won’t hold anything back.”

Xue nodded, “I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Master Mo waved his hand, “Begin!”

Len dashes straight towards Xue, while Xue dashes forward as well. Their weapons crashed together, creating loud booms as they collided. Treating their weapons as if they were weightless, the sisters attacked and defended at a lightning speed.

Xue, though a bit slower than Len, wasn't falling behind enough for her sister to gain an edge over her. Not wanting to be stuck in a stalemate, the sisters backed off at the same time and started circling their foe.

‘With Len's speed, she could just whittle away at me… I can’t keep this up!’ Xue thought to herself as she started twisting her hammer in an odd manner, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, causing the air around her began to distort as wind gathered in her surroundings.

This was one of the most simple hammer arts: Lion's Howl. It would send out a powerful wave of wind, but was slow to build up and would leave the user exposed while crafting the attack. Thus, Xue first turned the wind into a shield, allowing her to both attack and defend!

Yet how could Len just sit back wait for her sister to finish building up her attack? A heroic aura suddenly burst out from her body, a smile appearing on her face as Len actually began to copy Xue's movements! Yet instead of having a shield, the wind created every time Len moved her scythe became a blade that grew larger with every rotation!

The onlookers were surprised to see their spar suddenly become a race to see which skill finished building up first, but neither sister slackened for even a moment. Using all of their cultivation bases, the two sisters focused they're all, not backing down in the slightest.

With a hint of madness in their eyes, they both shouted and released all the power they could gather! Their weapons flew through the air even as their cultivation bases purified at the exact same time!

Xue’s Hammer flew true, boosted by a powerful wind, while Len’s Scythe melded together with a wind blade, creating a revolving crescent moon! The onlookers held their breaths as both weapons collided in midair only to lock in place with crazy amounts of wind wreaking havoc in their surroundings

Shockingly the weapons remained in a deadlock until the wind dissipated and they clattered to the floor.Yet the moment the weapons fell out of the air, three needles pierced the sky, heading straight towards Xue!

Alas, how could Xue not remember that her sister had picked up some needles? She had dodged out of the way long before the needles even left Len's hand, and even caught one as it passed by!

With a flick of her wrist, she sent it straight back at Len, who had exhausted her remaining energy and didn’t have time to dodge!

Although Len tried her best to get out of the way, the needle stuck her arm and sapped away her remaining energy, making her drop powerlessly to the ground.

“Damn… I thought I had you…”

Xue nodded, “You probably would have if the last user of this hammer wasn't also a master of hidden weapons!”

Having used up 95% of her entire supply of energy, Xue was exhausted. Yet even then she stood proudly with her head held high as she walked toward her dear sister Len and picked her up in a princess carry to follow the black robed maidens.

“To the baths, we go, little sister~.”
