Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

136  The Warrior's trial - 7!

She fell to her knees and joined her hands as she pleaded, tears streaming down her eyes: "Big Brother Ashen, Please save Brother Li. I know you can do it, please!"

Clang!

Clank!

Clank! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Right now, Yan Li was facing a ceaseless barrage of attacks from Li Qi. Even his sword was beginning to show cracks in it. It was clear that his life would end after some more attacks.

Ashen looked at the scene and shifted his gaze to the two children pleading with him.

What should I do?

He thought with a conflicted expression.

"Big Brother Ashen, help him, hurry, he'll die!" Yan Xiu shook Ashen's white silk pants as she pointed to Yan Li blocking Li Qi's relentless attacks in an urgent tone.

Ashen didn't want to interfere too much without any reason since that could agitate the world's will. It was clear that Yan Li was meant to die in this trial and if Ashen changed that, it would change the destiny.

At the same time, Yan Li was getting pushed back as he tackled Li Qi's polearm attacks. Due to the collisions, his sword was getting scraped, with small parts of metal leaving the sword and flying around.

On the other hand, Li Qi's weapon didn't have a scratch on it. It was clear that his weapon was of much higher grade than the weapons that other children had.

Yan Li knew that his sword wouldn't hold much longer and he looked for an opening to strike, however, Li Qi was too good to leave an opening to take advantage of.

Also, due to the polearm's longer reach, it would be much more difficult for Yan Li to get close to Li Qi to land an attack.

He looked at the other participants and was disappointed. There was not a single member of his group who had finished his battle and could help him.

Clank!

Crack!

At this moment, he felt a much heavier attack from Li Qi compared to the attacks before as he was sent sliding back, creating some distance.

Yan Li looked at the state of his sword and his eyes widened in horror. There was a crack in the blade of the sword.

Even though that crack covered only half of the blade, however, he knew that the next attack of Li Qi would break this sword into two, spelling his doom.

As the drop of sweat streamed down the side of his face, he noticed Li Qi launching his next attack without any mercy.

Sigh... looks like this is it! Let's atleast die while fighting so that Yan Xiu and Pingtu can be proud of this brother of theirs!

Knowing that he would die, he held the cracked sword in his right hand and pulled out the knife attached to his leg to wield it in his left hand.

His plan was simple, he would act to block with the sword, knowing it would break. The moment it breaks, Li Qi will think that he has won and will let his guard down.

At that moment, Yan Li would attack with his knife aiming for Li Qi's neck to atleast take him down with him.

If I can take this monster down with me, it wouldn't be so bad of a death...

He smiled dryly thinking that as he got ready for the collision.

Bang!

Clank-Clank...

"Gasp!"

Multiple gasps resounded at the scene that occurred before them.

These gasps weren't of sympathy for Yan Li, instead, they were the gasps of shock!

As soon as Li Qi's polearm connected with Yan Li's cracked sword, something unexpected happened.

Instead of Yan Li's sword getting broken into two, it was Li Qi's polearm that got cut in half.

Even Yan Li, who was ready for death was looking at the cut part of the polearm's blade, lying on the ground with widened pupils of shock.

He looked at his sword which was fine. Then he remembered the feeling that he experienced during the collision.

Why didn't I feel any resistance from the collision? It was as if my sword had collided with butter and cut it in half...

Even Li Qi was also thinking the same. Even the cut part of Li Qi's polearm was smooth as if cut by a blade in a single strike.

But this was truly peculiar due to the fact that up until now, Li Qi's polearm didn't even have a scratch, so how it was possible that it got cut in two by Yan Li's almost broken sword?

That sword couldn't even cut a thin branch of wood in its current state and to believe that that same sword cut his high-grade weapon like butter was impossible.

Li Qi, looking at Yan Li with caution and worry, asked: "What are you hiding? How did you do that?"

"I am as clueless as you bastard!" Yan Li roared internally.

And without showing his real emotions outside, he smiled at Li Qi as if he knew the reason.

"Not in the mood to talk, huh..." Li Qi smiled and said proudly: "Don't be cocky just because you broke my weapon. I can defeat you with just this remaining shaft!"

Saying that he lunged at Yan Li again, attacking with the long shaft, using it like a staff to attack. He knew that Yan Li's sword was on its last legs, so he was confident in winning.

Yan Li once again repeated his previous strategy, to block with the sword and attack with the knife.

Bang!

Swoosh!

Clank-Clank...

Once again the previous scene repeated itself, Li Qi's staff getting cut in half, reducing it to the size of a club.

"Again?" Li Qi couldn't hide his surprise.

The blade of the polearm getting sliced was alright since a blade is thin, however, a shaft, which is thicker and stronger than the blade getting sliced like this was just ridiculous!

It was as if god himself was helping Yan Li, giving him some ridiculous blessing.

It is just that he didn't know that it wasn't some god helping Yan Li, It was Ashen!

He was controlling sword qi to make the sword wielded by Yan Li a lot sharper, capable of cutting through any material.

Though it was not simple to do that, considering that Yan Li's sword was low quality and wouldn't be able to handle continuous sword qi application, therefore, Ashen would only make the sword sharp just the moment before contact, helping it to cut through Li Qi's any attack.

Ashen smiled in amusement, looking at the surprised Li Qi and Yan Li.

You should thank your luck that I like you and we met yesterday otherwise you would be dead right now!
