CHAPTER 518: FLYING KNIVES

The leader of the guards is now panting in pain. Aeryon look at this and he could not help but look at Ayera with new eyes.

He has many question in his mind right now

One of them is when did Ayera become so powerful? Aeryon admit that these guards of his is not as strong as him

And they are not even as strong as Belarion. But they are decent. In one-on-one fight not many people could defeat them

And when these seven people united with each other, their method could be deadly and even Aeryon would find it defunct to break from their encirclement.

Aeryon did notice that his guard did not attack with full power when he attacks Ayera before. Aeryon could understand that his guard did not want to kill his wife.

After all, this is different from other times.

They did not know what happen and it would be better not to kill the wife of their employer unless it is truly necessary

"He underestimated Ayera a bit" not only he holds back, he also underestimated Ayera and that is the factor that made his guard to have such a pathetic record.

But Aeryon is not interested in analyzing the mistake of his guards right now. Instead, he is quite curious about when did Ayera able to do this kind of method

"Internal energy"

Kusa. Qi. Many names, many terms to define this power. Internal energy, that comes from the energy of heaven and earth

The last time they fight, Ayera while she have amazing agility, she did not have this kind of method

Lightness skill. Aeryon could guess what it is.

"Who teaches her?" he thought to himself

"I neglected her too much" he thought to himself. In the beginning, he did put a few men on her to watch her.

After a while, he stopped his surveillance of her actions because he could guess what she did.

She is gathering information to give to her father. Aeryon did not reveal this nor does he alerted her.

All the things she sees and knows are the things that he allowed her to see and knows. And Aeryon also made some plans at that time.

If Garron has evil intentions to his tribe, he could use Ayera to spread false information.

So, he recalled back his spies so that Ayera would lower down her guard. But Mayeux believe that regardless of anything, he should be very wary of his wife.

Only Mayeux is still wary of her and put some people on her.

But clearly even Mayeux and his men miss this. If they did not miss it, they would have already reported it to him

Ayera after attacking the leader of the seven men is now being surrounded by the six men in a circle.

"Enough!" Aeryon shouted and his shout made the entire pavilion tremble and the lake water to ripples violently

"this is a matter between us. There is no need for the guard to interfere"

"Kan!"

The leader of these seven men even with blood dripping from the edge of his mouth is still trying to persuade Aeryon

Aeryon shakes his head and simply said

"Everything is under control. She is not seeking to kill me. She is only seeking to defeat me. There is no danger to my life. So, just retreat"

But how could the guards just retreat evacuate the Kan told them to retreat.

If Ayera kills Aeryon, they as the personal guard of the Kan would also be executed.

After all, their job is to protect the Kan. If the Kan dies, then that means they failed their job.

Aeryon look at these guards of him and he raise his eyebrows

"My words does not matter? Only Mayeux?" he ask and these guards feel chill in their hearts.

Some of them understood how chilling that statement is.

The closest guard of the Kan, who they listen to?

If they listen to the Kan and is loyal to the Kan then there is nothing wrong

But if there is a doubt that they listen to other people, then how could the lord trust them?

After all, they are the closest person to the lord.

If they listen to other people words, then that weapon they could point to the lord enemies could also be pointed to the lord that they protect

"Retreat" the leader of the seven men mutters.

Even though he did not shout the order or say it loudly, the other six could all hear it

They retreated. But they did not jump out of the leisure residence. Instead, they position themselves on the corner of the wall of the residence

They could see the battle from here. The intention is clear. If Ayera attack change to an attack that could kill the Kan, they would step in

Aeryon only smiles looking at this. He did not care that much about his guard intention

Ayera also did not seem to care.

Instead, she focused on Aeryon

And she frowned but this frown was only for a moment before she regains back her expressionless face

She could see that Aeryon is still very calm.

They look at each other and Aeryon could sense that the dangerous feeling he felt before is now intensifying

"what kind of method that Ayera had learned?" he thought to himself.

Ayera on the other hand is thinking something different

"This kind of person is the hardest to fight" she thought to herself

Aeryon did not use any weapons against Aeryon. The advantage should be hers.

But his strength is overwhelming. That just trying to hurt him is a feat. Aeryon had always aid that he is not born with innate strength.

But he sure feel like it

If not for her speed and agility, it would be hard to dispel the roaring energy of his palm strike.

That feeling like she is trapped inside a storm is not a pleasant feeling at all

Each strike felt like a lump of iron hitting her and even though his speed seems lacking, Ayera had a feeling that Aeryon did not use his whole strength against her

"He improved"

Just like Aeryon could tell that Ayera had improved, Ayera could also tell that Aeryon had improved.

Which made her heart heavy.

Not only he is talented, he is also diligent. A lazy genius is easy to beat. A hardworking genius.....that is not someone that could easily be measured

Right now, Ayera is looking at Aeryon to see if there is a blind spot that she could attack.

She sees it.

There is too many blind spot that she could attack

But she is not happy.

Instead, she frowned.

Because she felt that all of these blind spot would change. Aeryon almost look defenceless right now

He is just standing there, his hand on his side, there is no stance at all.

Just standing there without any sign of defending any attack

That is why there is so many spot that she could use to attack.

But she did not attack.

Why?

because she believe that the moment she attacks, her attack would be deflected, or will be broken

the attack itself could be regarded as a trap. If she attacks, and she failed, then she would get caught and this declaration of her to fight would almost seem like a joke.

’Direct attack would not work" that is her conclusion.

But for the sword in her heart to be released, a direct attack is needed

So, she needs to delay.

The longer she delays, the sharper the sword. The higher the chance for her attack to be successful

And if she delays and force him to make many moves, maybe a real flaw would show itself sooner or later

"Attack!" She thought to herself. The moment she jump off the wooden railings, the entire railings broke apart and it almost seems like she is flying toward Aeryon

She closes the distance of six feet to four feet in one second

She waved her left hand, and four flying knives flew toward Aeryon.

Aeryon look at the direction of these four flying knives.

He concentrated and as he concentrated, it almost seems like time slow down.

He could see the flying knives coming closer and closer towards him. He moves his hand and even his hand moves like it is in slow motion in his eyes.

Just because he could see the attack, just because his concentration is so focused that it seems that time slows downs, did not mean his entire body become fast.

Even though his mind is like this, the body is still limited by the physical constraint.

It is like not like the Flash that sees things in slow motion because his body speed had reached the limit of speed that everything seems slow in his eyes

Aeryon could see the scene around him slow down because he concentrated with all of his might that his brain even processed all of this thing faster and making it seems like time had slowed down.

But his body is still very much constrained to the limit of his own body speed.

"I could deflect all of these four flying knives" he thought to himself.
