Night of the Broken Gliph - Chapter 537
However, Kung-Suen Ching Lau’s words were directed towards Chui Yim.
It was known to all that Cloud Palace’s sixth teacher was proficient in puppetry and gliphism while the seventh teacher had a body as powerful as a gliphic beast. His past challenges with Yuen Tin and Dragon Dance Academy’s principal Yuan He, where he even fought straight on with Yuan He, was what Great Wisdom citizens preferred. They preferred battling in short-range.
“I’ll take up the challenge since you still haven’t recovered fully.” However, Kam Chin Kee spoke, and Chui Yim shrugged in reply and pulled Lam Ming Sum to a rock nearby to rest.
“Ming Sum, where’s the food we prepared?”
“Oh… okay.” Lam Ming Sum was worried about Kam Chin Kee, but she still took out the food from her Divine Bracelet of Five Elements and started feasting with Chui Yim.
It was currently early in the morning, time for breakfast. Even so, Chui Yim’s action angered Kung-Suen Ching Lau and the teenagers standing behind her. The teenagers even wanted to reprimand Chui Yim for doing this, but they were stopped by a glare from Kung-Suen Ching Lau.
Kung-Suen Ching Lau turned to Kam Chin Kee. The teenage boy’s slender figure and pale skin tone fit the stereotype of a useless sissy male in Great Wisdom City perfectly. “Is the seventh teacher injured? If that’s the case, I can just wait.”
“It’s fine, I’ll do it.” Kam Chin Kee shook his head. “Cloud Palace Itinerants do not have the right to reject a challenge.”
“I don’t mind, though,” Kung-Suen Ching Lau said.
“I insist there isn’t a need for that,” Kam Chin Kee replied in all seriousness.
“Alright,” Kung-Suen Ching Lau replied. She had already lost interest in continuing this discussion. “I heard that Sixth Teacher’s puppetry is unprecedented, do you need time to summon them?”
“Nope.” Kam Chin Kee smiled gently. “I’ve long heard about how powerful Great Wisdom citizens are with martial arts, thus I must fight with martial arts too.”
Kung-Suen Ching Lau was first shocked, but she burst with fury in an instant. “Is Sixth Teacher perhaps looking down on Great Wisdom City and the Kung-Suen Clan?” she asked coldly.
Kam Chin Kee only smiled without a word. Without the need for the teens behind her to start roaring, Kung-Suen Ching Lau was already in great anger. “Alright, then let’s see what Cloud Palace has up their sleeves!”
“Be careful!” With that, Kung-Suen Ching Lau disappeared from the spot, leaving only a breeze.
Kam Chin Kee only smiled in response, casually drawing a semi circle before turning back once again.
Huff…
A scent came towards Kam Chin Kee, and the slender legs already reached where Kam Chin Kee was previously.
It was as if time came to a stop. Kung-Suen Ching Lau was in great disbelief. Her legs were like pikes as they pierced through Kam Chin Kee’s afterimage.
How was he able to escape my attack from such a short distance when I’m already giving it my all?
As she was in a daze, Kam Chin Kee reached out his right hand to grab Kung-Suen Ching Lau. But the girl reacted quickly and retreated to her right, turning into several afterimages.
A teenager behind them cheered and turned to Chui Yim with the intention of showing off. “See that powerful attack? It’s my sister’s gliphility, Willow Branch Ghost.”
However, Chui Yim did not even spare him a look as he continued to feast on his meal. He had a powerful body, which meant he needed a huge amount of food to replenish his energy. That was also the reason why Hui Sai Cheong was always eating.
“Interesting.” This sparked Kam Chin Kee’s interest, which shocked Kung-Suen Ching Lau slightly, and the afterimages dispersed within no time as she jumped back.
Rather than pursuing, Kam Chin Kee watched her with a smile.
This put an ugly expression on Kung-Suen Ching Lau’s face; Willow Branch Ghost was a technique she created by combining different key points of the Kung-Suen Clan’s footwork. Many people were defeated because they were confused by her afterimages. But that previous attack…
That can’t be, right? Just as Kung-Suen Ching Lau was feeling shocked, Kam Chin Kee spoke, confirming her suspicions. “Flexible form, but there’s still room for improvement for your footwork.”
Kung-Suen Ching Lau was thunderstruck. He figured it out!
Willow Branch Ghost sounded powerful given how it could create five or six afterimages, but in fact, it was just a shortcut. Kung-Suen Ching Lau moved her upper body with her clan’s footwork rapidly, allowing her to create a few afterimages within a short time.
Maybe it was because she had yet to break through both of her leg chambers, but she moved slower than her ideal and was unable to form a true afterimage.
Now, she was staring at Kam Chin Kee like the other was a monster.
“Sixth Teacher is indeed from Cloud Palace. My fault for having bad perception. Now, I’ll do my best in this spar.” Kung-Suen Ching Lau greeted politely.
“Alright, sure.” Kam Chin Kee smiled.
Whoosh… Kung-Suen Ching Lau huffed, and her right leg chamber lit up slightly.
Great Wisdom City’s Kung-Suen Clan was similarly a huge clan in the area, and they were most well-known for their leg skills. There was even a saying of “Northern Punch, Blazing Skies Mountain, Southern Leg, Kung-Suen Clan.”
The Hung Clan was powerful, but their short-range techniques were still lacking compared to the Yim Clan of Blazing Skies Mountain.
However, there were not many in this world who were masters of leg skills. The current clan leader of the Kung-Suen Clan, Kung-Suen Pok, was among the top five cultivators of Great Wisdom City and had the ability to break boulders with a single kick!
As Kung-Suen Pok’s eldest daughter, Kung-Suen Ching Lau similarly excelled in kicking. She no longer looked down on Kam Chin Kee and launched her strongest skill now.
She suddenly squatted down and smacked her right hand on the ground. There was energliph surrounding her right hand too.
She was a right arm and left foot chamber cultivator, making her similarly in the two-chambered state!
Within the blink of an eye, her left foot disappeared from sight as numerous green light beams shot towards Kam Chin Kee like arrows!
Swaying Willow Haven!
This was Kung-Suen Ching Lau’s strongest gliphility!
Kam Chin Kee smiled with his hands behind his back as if he didn’t notice the numerous green beams of light. The lights were an effect of Kung-Suen Ching Lau kicking at lightning speed. This attack of hers consisted of several hundred kicks. Let alone Kam Chin Kee, even Chui Yim would be injured if he were to take this attack forcefully.
But Kam Chin Kee remained still. When the first green light beam almost reached him, he disappeared once again.
