《Peerless Grandmaster》Ch 0.2 : Deadly Dance
Advertisement
An inexplicable sense of danger swept through General Hong's mind. He was confused, after all, they had assembled all the 7 remaining Great Generals of Great Yu, together they could easily overpower a Grandmaster, let alone the woman standing calmly before they was injured and her Qi was chaotic. It was absolutely not necessary to assemble all the remaining Great Generals to end the life of an injured woman, but they were all determined to avenge their masters who have fallen under the strikes of this woman. But still looking at Mu Shenhua's calm and cold expression General Hong felt extremely uneasy.
The twin Great Generals Xie and Xia ranked individually as third and fourth amongst them 7 Great Generals assembled here today. But when they combined their skill and attacked as a duo, even the strongest of them, Great General Hong himself didn't have the confidence to win. So he immediately signaled the twins to launch their attack to probe into Mu Shenhua's martial skills. The Twins each used a light double-edged sword for their attack skills. They immediately brandished their swords and advanced towards Shenhua. Their footwork was quick as their shadows seemed to converge and diverge in an unpredictable fashion.
Mu Shenhua stomped the frozen surface of the lake lightly and dashed towards the twins. Her feet didn't even touch the frozen surface as she simply yet gracefully glided towards her incoming opponents. When she came close to the twins, a slight silvery blur was seen as the twins methodically swung their swords, one attacking and the other defending, and unpredictably switching stances. This style of dual sword technique was created by the twins themselves, as their opponents would feel an ambidextrous swordmaster is attacking them. But to their surprise, Mu Shenhua didn't even try to attack them. When the strikes came forward, she twisted her body to move along with just the incoming attacks.

Mu Shenhua was titled Heaven's Glory Hands because of her palm & finger techniques and barehanded strikes which were unmatched in Jianghu. When the 4th sword slash came towards her neck, she tilted her body and evaded the strike, just when the strike lost a bit of momentum, she clamped the blade between her index and middle finger. As soon as General Xie saw that his twin brother's sword has been caught by Shenhua, he switched from defensive to stab her heart. But Shenhua again twisted her other arm and clamped the incoming strike. This time she faced the power behind the strike head-on, as General Xie felt that his sword has struck against a great mountain. Shenhua used the twins' effort to free their swords as a prop to launch herself vertically above the twins, as she released the clamp and in a swift movement, flicked at both the swords with her fingers.
The twins immediately felt their arms go numb as their swords were flicked downwards. The only female general present in the opponent team, Venom Queen recognized the move as one of the eight moves of Heaven's Glory technique, known as Divine Rain. The finger flick technique could concentrate qi and shoot them against enemies even beyond eyesight. While the twins steadied their sword hands, Shenhua descended and drew horizontal arc mid-air as she kicked at the twin's faces. Sensing the strike the twins hastily pulled back, but still, the sheer force of the resultant wind from Shenhua's kick sent them back for a hundred more steps.
General Hong, who was closely observing the fight realized that Shenhua wasn't as weak as she seemed. He immediately commanded the generals to combine their efforts. The 5 great generals rushed forward and circled around Shenhua. General Hong swung his guandao and initiated the attack as the 7 of them moved as a heptagram, seemingly trapping Shenhua. Shenhua obliged by swiftly gliding between openings and occasionally attacking with fist strikes and chops. In the eyes of the spectating Young Linhua, mother and her opponents seemed to be embroiled in a deadly dance as they exchanged strikes.

To simply see a [City Guard] or a [Warrior] maybe even a [Mage], even then I'd be sated no matter how basic the Class. I wanted to witness what I read about, the fantastical [Secret Stache] of a [Treasure Hunter] or a [Pickpocket] using [Deft Hands]. These were natural occurrences above, but alas, I was below. And this deep down, I'd see my first horror before seeing any mere monster. My escape were the books but soon I'd turn that knowledge into a real escape, I'd emerge from this dear library and claw my way above. But I'd need to prepare myself, I just didn't know how yet.

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
