Chapter 27 Hard Fought Battle.
"Oh, that's a great technique. As expected of someone from a great clan."
"Everyone else had awesome techniques in their arsenal, too."
"They are at least at Peak Human Rank. "I wish I had just one of those."
The cultivators discussed this with awe and jealousy. They were all born into lower-level families, and most were war orphans. They would be happy just to get something that was just better than average stuff.
Not everyone's luck isn't that of a protagonist that could pick treasure at every ten steps they would take.

Yuki deflected one attack and then turned around to deflect another. He was having a hard time identifying it, as all the illusionary Lenny would attack with the same force. He was also not able to land a hit on them, but if he did, he could at least dwindle their number down.
Lenny was slowly recovering his spiritual energy but that was also being used by the attack the real him did. Still, it wasn't that much.
Yuki was getting pushed back gradually, and he started to feel that he would lose if he didn't do anything.
The sword shadows beside his sword returned to his sword. His sword began to glow in white light.A sword aura made of spiritual energy brewed up on his sword.
"Air Ripper."
A sword aura in the shape of a crescent moon shot toward one of Lenny's clones. It immediately destroyed his clone, announcing it was fake. It also left a deep gash on the ground.
Lenny became extremely confused as to why Yuki would waste his strongest move. It would also make him weaker.
But what he saw next made his eyes widen. Yuki was firing another Air Ripper that had the same energy as the previous one.
Then something clicked in Lenny's mind. 'Was he faking earlier? Then he was fighting with me before the real fight even began.'
'I have to say, I am very impressed!'
Bang!
His last clone was destroyed, leaving the real Lenny behind. Yuki said as his face glowed in white because of his sword. "You have nowhere to run."
Lenny just calmly said."You think I can do that only once?"
He used the Seven Illusinary Steps again with his remaining spiritual energy.
"This won't work again," Yuki said as he danced before his clones and destroyed them with Air Ripper.
It gave Lenny no chance to recover his spiritual energy.
Yuki came before Lenny and said."You did well."
He swung his sword and blasted Lenny away before he could even raise his spear to defend himself.
Bang!
Lenny smashed into the wall and then fell to the ground.
Yuki swiped his sword to the right to get rid of Lenny's blood. "It was fun fighting you."
He was about to sheath his sword when he saw Lenny standing up. He said it with shock. "How are you still moving?"
"Hehe," A smile finally appeared on Lenny's cold face, which made every girl's heart beat loudly. "I have many aces up my sleeves."

"Huh." Yuki sighed under his mask, as he was a bit tired after using so much Air Ripper. "I guess it all comes down to this."
"Come." Yuki pulled his sword out slowly, which had a white glow before it could come out.
Lenny knew no more tricks would work. It was time for a head-on confrontation that would take him out with one strike. "Let's go."
Lenny sprinted toward Yuki in a straight line.
Yuki started shooting Air Ripper at Lenny. Seeing the Air Rippers coming toward Lenny, he didn't dodge. He, with his eyes wide open, destroyed them by attacking them with his spear.
He wasn't able to destroy them cleanly as the aftershock and residual energy would hit his body, making cuts and scratches. But it wouldn't be able to injure him heavily. This credit goes to his body cultivation, it made his body stronger than a normal Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could have.
Lenny leaped up and started descending down. He wanted to use gravity to increase the power behind his last and precise killing blow.
Yuki decided that he won't move his feet. He wanted to face him head-on because he was feeling like something inside was boiling, as if something would bloom. He started shooting Air Ripper at Lenny, who was descending down on him from the sky.
Lenny again destroyed the Air Rippers, but because of the gravity, he felt those shockwaves much more. His skin ruptured, and his body was bleeding heavily. But it wasn't able to go deep.
At that moment, Yuki went into a trance, and inspiration started blooming in his mind. 'Normal Air Ripper' can't do anything on his body. What if it is stacked or hits consecutively like a line? What if I mix 'Ten Sword Cutter' and 'Air Ripper'?'
'Yes, that's it.' Yuki was filled with excitement.
He said this to himself as he finally knew how to execute this technique. "Drago- ."
Bam!
"Your slow, genius." Lenny's punch landed on Yuki's mask and shot his body to the ground, which dragged him down to the wall.
Yuki's mask cracked open and showed his face to the public. He had a flawless, beautiful face that almost made him look like a girl.
He sat down on the ground and rubbed his face."That hurts."
Lenny breathed heavily and said."Only that hurt you? What about the earlier attacks?"
"Those don't matter as it didn't hit the face but thank you for the inspiration," Yuki said.
Lenny asked. "Don't you want to fight more? You seem okay"
"I lost." Yuki stood up and dusted his butt."If you had used your spear, I would have been dead already. So, I lost."
Then the judge came and announced. "The winner of this competition, Lenny Minar!"
In that instant, the arena filled with loud cheers after witnessing such a great battle.
