Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1016 993: Descending the Mountain

Suddenly, Xiao Mo leapt up, gripping the Dragon Scale Moon with both hands, and slashed down towards Ren Feng!

This strike was as powerful as a rainbow, and the True Qi around Xiao Mo's entire body burst forth. Feeling his aura, Ren Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Profound Realm!

He hadn't expected that this Xiao Mo also possessed the strength of the Profound Realm!

In an instant, Ren Feng retreated to the side, and the strike fell to the ground.

But immediately, Xiao Mo, holding the Dragon Scale Saber, followed closely behind Ren Feng, sweeping the blade horizontally towards Ren Feng's abdomen.

Ren Feng tapped with his foot, leaped up, stepped on Xiao Mo's Dragon Scale Moon, and then kicked forward with his right foot, aiming directly at his wrist.

Yet Xiao Mo's wrist shook, the blade turned, forcing Ren Feng back again. He then punched with his left hand, but Ren Feng spun and kicked him back.

In a short time, the two exchanged blows without determining a winner.

Ren Feng landed on the ground, neither of them excessively using True Qi, relying purely on skill.

Snowflakes in the sky fell like white feathers, falling onto the two, and shortly, Ren Feng and Xiao Mo were covered by the heavy snow.

As the snow fell heavily, Xiao Mo tapped with his foot again and rushed towards Ren Feng, the Dragon Scale Moon swinging quickly, casting a cold glow around him.

Ren Feng's eyes focused on the charging Xiao Mo, True Qi enveloping his palm, slapping the blade aside, while his feet rapidly stepped forward, reaching Xiao Mo.

His left hand appeared like a specter, appearing in front of Xiao Mo, aiming to seize his throat.

"Hidden Dragon Ascending to the Abyss!"

Xiao Mo shouted, bending his whole body backward, the Dragon Scale Moon in his hand swung upwards, forcing Ren Feng to retreat.

The second confrontation ended in a draw.

A look of solemnity appeared in Xiao Mo's eyes; his opponent's speed and reflexes were not inferior to his, and their realms were the same. Therefore, victory could be determined by basic maneuvers.

However, judging from the previous situation, he was still at a disadvantage.

Xiao Mo's pride surged; he was extremely competitive and would never allow himself to be defeated.

"Ah!"

He shouted again, rushing towards Ren Feng.

Once more, they clashed in the falling snow, maneuvering and exchanging blows. Xiao Mo's Dragon Scale Moon emitted a cold glow, while Ren Feng moved like a specter, always intercepting Xiao Mo's moves at crucial moments, like targeting the snake's vital spot.

Ren Feng's combat experience was extremely rich, constantly baiting Xiao Mo into traps, showing flaws to lure him in, then immediately counterattacking.

Celestial Dragon Ascendant and Han Buyan stood watching the two exchanging blows in the snow.

"Old friend, your disciple's strength is indeed impressive," Celestial Dragon Ascendant said.

"Not bad, though this kid is a bit dense, he always breaks through between life and death," Han Buyan said, although he spoke with satisfaction.

"Indeed, only in the realm between life and death can one unleash their greatest potential," Celestial Dragon Ascendant nodded, "Just like how our esoteric practice demands that only by surpassing oneself can one survive; there is no retreat."

Han Buyan watched Ren Feng in combat, "But I won't let him be in danger. When he was entrusted to me, I must prevent anything from happening to him. Strictly speaking, he is my second disciple."

Celestial Dragon Ascendant nodded, staying focused on the fight.

Ren Feng continued to engage Xiao Mo, uncontrollable energy constantly erupting.

From the ground to the sky, they floated in the air, the falling snow evaporating before reaching them.

Xiao Mo's Dragon Scale Moon closed in on Ren Feng's face, his saber technique fierce, while Ren Feng switched to a softer, defensive approach at this moment.

Again from the sky to the ground, suddenly, Ren Feng seized an opening in Xiao Mo's technique, closed in instantly, and slapped his wrist.

The surging energy caused Xiao Mo's hand to tremble, the Dragon Scale Saber leaving his grip, and in the next second, Ren Feng was clutching Xiao Mo's neck!

Xiao Mo stared at Ren Feng, suddenly yelled, swung his fists upwards to knock Ren Feng's hand away, but Ren Feng took this chance to sidestep, moving behind Xiao Mo.

"Enough, Xiao Mo, you've lost."

Celestial Dragon Ascendant spoke from the side.

This match using only basic moves ultimately resulted in Xiao Mo's defeat.

Ren Feng released his grip, "I concede."

Xiao Mo seemed to feel a sense of helplessness, took a deep breath, and seriously said, "Though I am unwilling, as someone who keeps his word, I will go down the mountain with you."

Ren Feng nodded.

Gathering his belongings, Ren Feng prepared to descend the mountain, and approached Han Buyan.

"Old man, I'm leaving."

"Alright, go ahead, I'll return for the New Year."

Ren Feng nodded, hesitated to say something.

"Young rascal, speak your mind."

"Old man, what exactly is the secret you mentioned earlier?" Ren Feng asked, puzzled.

"The time is not yet ripe," Han Buyan shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but your strength is insufficient."

Ren Feng nodded, understanding that Han Buyan said this for his own benefit, he stopped asking and directly descended the mountain.

Xiao Mo also approached Celestial Dragon Ascendant, respectfully knelt and bowed before following Ren Feng away.

Watching their figures disappear into the snowy wind, Han Buyan sighed, "Boy, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just that the timing isn't right. If I were to tell you now, it would certainly lead to chaos."

Ren Feng and Xiao Mo descended the mountain quickly via the same path they had ascended, reducing the time needed to descend.

Walking side by side, in silence, Xiao Mo spoke, "I'm not satisfied, I want to fight you again."

"We'll spar again when there's time, I'm currently unavailable," Ren Feng said, "I need to hurry back to the Tang Sect."

"I'll go with you."

Ren Feng glanced at Xiao Mo, "Are you really planning to follow me?"

"Yes, my mentor instructed me to follow you," Xiao Mo said seriously.

"No, your mentor just wants you to experience the mundane world, not necessarily follow me," Ren Feng said seriously, "Besides, I have a lot to do, I'm quite busy."

And most importantly, if you follow me, how can I flirt with girls?

"No way, I'm definitely following you," Xiao Mo insisted.

Ren Feng almost spat blood, how suddenly could this lad be so stubborn?

After contemplating, Ren Feng said, "Alright, once I've resolved matters at the Tang Sect, how about I send you abroad?"

"Go abroad for what?"
