Chapter 2974 - 2057: You Lost

Chapter 2974: Chapter 2057: You Lost

The wooden sword was as fast as a gust of wind, reaching Bai Xiaosheng in the blink of an eye, but it didn’t hit Bai Xiaosheng’s head, instead barely missing him.

As the woman in kimono moved forward at that instant, Bai Xiaosheng also moved.

However, Bai Xiaosheng did not attack or evade, he simply took a step towards Ronnie.

That was all.

This quick and slow movement surprisingly formed a subtle coincidence, allowing Bai Xiaosheng to narrowly dodge the fierce attack.

Even the woman with the wooden sword was taken aback.

Bai Xiaosheng seemed completely unaware.

"Is your hand okay? Let me tell you, don’t just pull out a knife and rush in next time. As a guard, you should prioritize protecting the client’s safety above all, you’re not here to fight..."

Bai Xiaosheng, with his back to the woman in kimono, started to reason with Ronnie confidently.

Ronnie was also stunned, staring at Bai Xiaosheng in bewilderment.

That moment’s coincidence seemed unimaginable even to her.

This Mr. Bai doesn’t realize how lucky he was, almost ending up with a head injury. Surprisingly, he’s still so carefree, reasoning with her.

It’s truly speechless...

"Damn it!" muttered the man with the bandaged hand instinctively.

"Didn’t hit?"

Blanche covered her face with both hands, peeking through her fingers with wide eyes at Bai Xiaosheng, amazed he remained unharmed.

But the next moment, Blanche quickly closed her fingers again, not daring to watch.

Because the kimono-wearing woman was swinging the wooden sword to slash Bai Xiaosheng’s neck.

Although the wooden sword wasn’t sharp, if it struck with force, it could cause unconsciousness, injury, or even be lethal.

Ronnie, facing Bai Xiaosheng, saw it and felt her hair standing on end, wanting to warn but couldn’t react in time.

Just then, the unbelievable happened again.

Bai Xiaosheng moved just right, running towards the unconscious Mina, saying, "How is she, Ronnie? Come check quickly."

With this run, the tip of the wooden sword precisely grazed Bai Xiaosheng’s collar without touching him at all.

The kimono woman, who planned to take Bai Xiaosheng down with this strike, momentarily froze in anger.

Missing once might be coincidence, but missing twice couldn’t be explained away!

Otherwise, her sword skills would be a joke!

If it wasn’t coincidence, it meant one thing—the man was secretly skilled and was playing her!

"Damn it!" The kimono woman suddenly had a fierce look, lowered her body, holding the sword with the blade level with her brow.

The man with the bandaged hand saw this stance and his eyes lit up, "She really plans to use that move!"

He immediately looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his gaze slightly focused, "This man..."

Even he noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s peculiarity.

Ronnie, also realizing, couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiaosheng, her eyes flickering.

She had fought with the kimono woman before, understanding the wooden sword’s speed and ferocity, even with its bizarre changes. Bai Xiaosheng dodging twice couldn’t just be explained by "luck".

This Mr. Bai could truly be a master!

Ronnie suddenly felt some anticipation.

On the other side, Blanche saw Bai Xiaosheng dodge another attack, and the kimono woman seemed frozen, making her put her hands down and blink.

Suddenly she felt that perhaps the woman wasn’t that scary or powerful...

As Bai Xiaosheng bent down to check on Mina, he wasn’t completely turned away from the kimono woman but kept her within his peripheral vision.

Though appearing casual, he wasn’t overconfident.

Dodge twice earlier, first using the woman’s carelessness, second relying on Red Lotus’s calculation ability.

Though the kimono woman only briefly exchanged blows with Mina and Ronnie, Red Lotus analyzed her sword school’s style from her manner of wielding and footwork.

Modeling the speed, arm span, and wooden sword length, Red Lotus could calculate the attack’s impact point, only needing to remind Bai Xiaosheng whether to move forward or turn, the timing, and steps to be as accurate as premonition.

In this process, if Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t keep up himself, Red Lotus could aid him by stimulating muscle reflex.

In short, Bai Xiaosheng earlier was practically hacking...

Now, with the kimono woman serious, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t just rely on luck.

He needed to be serious!

So after a brief check on Mina, Bai Xiaosheng adjusted his posture, turning towards the kimono woman.

As Bai Xiaosheng turned, the kimono woman suddenly moved.

Her sandals stepped rhythmically, driving her close to Bai Xiaosheng. She shouted "Ha!" "Ha!" "Ha!" thrice, forcing strength with her voice, wielding the wooden sword to slash thrice at Bai Xiaosheng.

Afar, the man with the bandaged hand had sparkling eyes.

Three-section Slash, really Three-section Slash!

Even he dared not claim he could take it; it was a sword art of utmost power and speed!

Victory!

Identifying the move, he was already certain of the result.

As the kimono woman moved, Ronnie’s pupils also contracted, her limbs chilled with endless cold.

Even if unclear of the move, she sensed an unprecedented crisis, the sixth sense honed on the battlefield.

In an instant, Ronnie determined that she couldn’t withstand such an attack!

"Oh no!" Blanche gasped in shock at the sudden scene.

She saw the woman darting like crazy to slash Bai Xiaosheng fanatically.

Who could endure this...

With the kimono woman swinging the wooden sword thrice, the crowd heard only a "crack" sound, followed by half of something flying into the air.

The wooden sword in the woman’s hands was visibly shorter...

It... broke?

In the blink of an eye, only the kimono woman wielding the sword knew what happened. Her first two attacks missed, one brushed by the clothes but missed the target. Only the third attack hit the man’s... object.

Hard to see, rectangular in shape, was crushed by her wooden sword, also breaking her own sword.

The kimono woman felt fragments of that object hit her face, stinging like pebbles.

What exactly was it?

She really wanted to know.

In that moment, the man she hit suddenly jumped, holding another similar object, swinging it to her face.

Now, the kimono woman wanted to dodge, but felt her body unmovable.

Until the object enlarged in her pupils, she finally saw it clearly.

It was a slab of brick.

The kimono woman shut her eyes, imagining herself getting hit, blood spraying, disfigurement and ugliness.

But the anticipated pain didn’t come; instead, her hands felt empty.

Opening her eyes again, she found her wooden sword in the man’s hands, its broken end pointing at her.

"My friend, also trained, told me a warrior with some dignity wouldn’t refuse defeat like this."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, swinging the wooden sword against the wall, breaking it soundly.

"You, lost."

Bai Xiaosheng tossed the brick in his other hand, smiled faintly, "Us Huaxia men don’t hit women, but if you continue, I’ll oblige. This will be imprinted on your face."

The kimono woman stared at Bai Xiaosheng, dropped the brick and broken sword hilt, stood silent for seconds, then bowed unexpectedly and with a deep gaze, turned away, even ignoring her companion.

The onlookers finally realized what happened, shocked at the departing woman and Bai Xiaosheng standing confidently.

He actually won!
