I Can Give Talent

Chapter 63 – Valenia Vs Mamba

Lilian was relieved that the battle was over. She pretended to be weak so that Carom would lower her guard and come closer to her. Although Carom has elemental advantages over her, thankfully her fighting style is not that detrimental to Lilian.

Furthermore, it was just like what Leyvi and Anda had said before that most of the cultivators probably didn't realize the other function of the spiritual sense. Lilian had guarded herself with spiritual sense to counter any spiritual pressure that might be coming from Carom, but it didn't happen. Carom didn't know how to use spiritual pressure, or to be precise, Carom didn't know the existence of spiritual pressure. Lilian took advantage of this and killed Carom easily.

Meanwhile,

Mamba caught up with Valenia, Layla, and Hana. Although Layla had higher cultivation than Valenia, she was not a fighter. She had never fought anyone as a cultivator before. The same could be said about Hana. Layla and Hana were very nervous right now and they were hiding behind Valenia.

"Layla, Hana...calm down. I'm fighting him. Both of you support me as Leyvi instructed." Valenia comforted the two rookies.

As Leyvi planned, all the fighting would be left to Valenia while Layla and Hana only needed to pretend they were attacking from a distance. Basically, they were supposed to be a distraction for Mamba.

"HAHAHAHA! What's this? It turned out those two are just weaklings! And the only one who could fight is just an early Foundation Building." Mamba mocked.

Mamba immediately created two fireballs, one from his left hand and the other from his right hand, he threw them at Layla and Hana. Both of them were caught off guard as they had zero combat experience.

"Shit! Layla! dodge!" Valenia could only warn Layla as she moved and slashed the fireball coming toward Hana destroying it.

Layla didn't dodge but she managed to make a protective Qi made of water around her in time. 

Psssssttttttttt!

The sound of water met fire could be heard. Layla was pushed back a little and her protective water Qi evaporated but she wasn't hurt.

Seeing that Layla was fine, Valenia took this chance to charge at Mamba to prevent him from targeting Layla and Hana again. She didn't expect that Mamba would be a long-range fighter.

Valenia slashed, chopped, and thrust her broadsword at Mamba but he dodged them easily.

"HAHAHAHA! So slow! I can dodge your attack in my sleep!" Mamba was arrogant. His cultivation was two levels higher than Valenia so he naturally has more advantages.

Valenia frowned. Her broadsword can't hit Mamba at all. Even if she used her Sword Intent, it won't work as well if she can't hit him.

"What's wrong bitch? Out of Idea?" Mamba channeled his Qi toward his right foot and created another fireball, which he kicked at Valenia.

Valenia blocked with her wide broadsword but still suffered some burns.

"HAHAHAHA! It's going to be fun burning the skins of all of you bitches!" Mamba was getting more and more arrogant.

"I don't know where that ugly bitch came from, but she dared to steal my Special Fire! When Old Bong catches her soon, I'll let you see how I torture her and get back my Special Fire. I'm going to be the one who shines at the Alchemy Conference! HAHAHAHA!!" Mamba kept talking while dodging Valenia's attacks and throwing more fireballs at her.

Valenia now understood why they were aiming at her madam. She was hit by more fireballs now and was severely burned. Valenia's appearance turned ugly from all the burns and she was almost bald. She could even smell her own meat as if cooked. She felt the burning pains from all over her body but ignored them because hearing what Mamba said made her angry.

"A piece of trash like you think you can compare with my madam?" 

"MADAM ANDA IS SOMEONE WHO WILL BECOME THE GREATEST ALCHEMIST!! TRASH LIKE YOU SHOULD SHUT UP!!" Valenia roared.

As she roared, Sword Intent burst out fiercely from her body to all directions. Layla and Hana who were watching from a distance could feel the sharp aura stabbing and slashing them from afar as they exclaimed and immediately put up protective Qi.

"ARRGGHHHHHHH!!!!"

At the same time, Mamba who was very close to Valenia suffered the full force of Valenia's Sword Intent burst. He was bleeding all over his body. Even his spirit armor was cut by the Sword Intent. It was hard for him to move because some of his tendons were cut.

"Fuckk!!! It hurts! How do you have Sword Intent? Dammit!" Mamba cursed. He frantically tried to consume the Minor Healing Elixir he refined to heal his injuries.

Unfortunately for Mamba, Valenia wouldn't allow him to recover.

She charged at the distracted Mamba, transferred her Sword Intent to the broadsword, and decapitated his head.

SPLURT!

Blood sprayed from his headless body as it fell to the ground. Valenia watched as Mamba's head spun in the air with wide eyes. It fell to the ground as well a few moments later.

"Trash!" Valenia mocked the dead Mamba again. 

Valenia who was staring at the dead Mamba remembered that her normal Sword Intent burst couldn't injure Leyvi at all, but Mamba was injured easily by the same attack. This evil guy couldn't even compare with Leyvi, his personality was completely rotten and everything that came out of his mouth was vile. Suddenly Valenia felt that Leyvi was a great man.

While Valenia was lost in thought, Layla and Hana had come to her looking worried.

"Valenia! Hurry take this!" Layla was holding a Medium Healing Elixir in her hand.

Valenia snapped from her thought and denied, "No need, madam gave me a lot of that too. You should save yours for yourself." 

She took out her own Medium Healing Elixir and drank it. Not long later, all her burnt injuries were healed. Her ugly burnt face turned pretty and her red hair grew to the same length again.

After Valenia finished healing, they saw someone coming over to them.

It was Lilian. After the fight, she came here right away as Leyvi told her but it seemed she was not needed anymore. Valenia had killed the young evildoer.

"Madam Lilian! You need to help Leyvi and Madam Anda! We are fine. Hurry!" Valenia hurriedly told Lilian.

Before Lilian arrived at them, she nodded and turned back, flying as fast as she could to help Leyvi and Anda.

Valenia sighed. Although she defeated Mamba, it was not easy. A lot didn't go as planned. Leyvi overestimated Layla and Hana's combat awareness. They weren't just lacking but almost non-existent.

Leyvi thought that Layla and Hana could at least become a distraction to Mamba, but Mamba saw through their inexperience and started aiming them first. Valenia could only attack him constantly so he wouldn't target them again. It was good she didn't immediately show her Sword Intent or Mamba would have played safe attacking them from afar.

"Sis Valenia, I was a burden just now....sorry..." Hana apologized. The always cheerful Hana felt demoralized. Layla beside her felt bad too. She felt that she had to learn to fight a little after this. The feeling of being a burden was so frustrating.

"Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. Let's go back to the tunnel." Valenia said. She could only hope Lilian could reach Leyvi and Anda in time. 

.....

Rewinding the time a little,

Anda was hugging Leyvi like a panda hugging a tree while Leyvi fled from the old man as fast as he could. She was in this position so she wouldn't hinder Leyvi's movement too much. She could see the old man slowly approaching them little by little.

"Cough, cough....Brat, I don't know how you were so fast, but you won't be able to run anymore!" Old Bong had difficulties talking because he was old and his body wasn't as strong as it used to be.

Suddenly, Anda had an idea. She conjured a tangible firewall ahead of Old Bong and the old man immediately collided with it.

"FUUCCCKKKK!! What was that? Cough, cough!" Old Bong's face was charred and his forehead bled a little. A solid fire appeared out of nowhere and he rammed into it.

"Good job Anda!" Leyvi praised.

Anda chuckled, although it wasn't much, it still injured this old fart and stopped his movement for a bit.

When the old man got near them again, Anda made another firewall and he crashed into it again.

"Hahaha!" Leyvi and Anda laughed at Old Bong

"Dammit!! Cough! How dare you!" He was furious. A Core Formation expert like him was made fun of by two middle-stage Foundation Building brats, absolutely humiliating.

This time Old Bong summoned an earth armor covering his body. Although his speed dropped a little from the weight, he could still get near Leyvi albeit slower.

"So this guy is an Earth-attributed cultivator," Leyvi commented. He wondered if Tal would learn something like this later since he's also Earth-attributed. 

Anda tried the firewall block again but it didn't work this time. It only damaged the earth armor but he repaired it again.

"Cough, kekeke! Your trick is useless now! Cough!" Old Bong laughed.

Leyvi frowned. How should he fight this old fart? Should he wait for Lilian?
