Chapter 61 A critical moment

Clang——!
In just a few breaths, Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang had fought no less than ten times.

Since Xia Yu's swordsmanship was directly bestowed by the sword card, his swordsmanship was purely Western swordsmanship, which emphasized thrusting and slashing, with almost no blocking or dodging movements, and was purely offensive.

There were no fancy moves, but this made the little wolf even more exhausted to deal with. The simpler the movements, the more practical sword skills they were in battle. Coupled with Xia Yu's excellent physical fitness, every strike was extremely dangerous.

Li Xiaolang's swordsmanship is the sword skill that has been passed down in the Li family to this day. Most of it is based on entanglement and wandering, similar to the Tai Chi sword technique of using softness to overcome hardness and avoiding the real and attacking the virtual. It is precisely because of this that he has been able to hold on until now under Xia Yu's fierce attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang——!
In a blink of an eye, the two sides fought dozens of times. The high-speed attack and defense that could not allow any mistakes caused Li Xiaolang's hands to tremble more and more.

His strength and endurance were running low.

In contrast, Xia Yu's breathing was steady and his steps were firm. He did not look exhausted at all, as if he never felt tired. His physical fitness was even better than that of someone who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

If Xia Yu knew what Xiaolang was thinking, he would definitely laugh triumphantly if the occasion was right. How could a mere martial artist compare to his efforts?

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, start!
Ding~
The sound of clashing swords echoed in all directions. Xia Yu held the sword in one hand and chopped it down heavily. The blade tore through the air and pulled out a sharp wave of air, as if to tear everything in front of him in half.

There was no way to avoid it, so Li Xiaolang gritted his teeth, held the sword in both hands and faced forward, trying to break the force with cleverness as before.

However, he had consumed too much physical strength. When the two swords collided, a powerful force came from above, suppressing Li Xiaolang. His face turned pale, and he retreated repeatedly, and finally he lost his strength and fell to the ground.

With a snap, the long sword that he was holding tightly fell to the ground, making a crisp whine.

Looking at the defeated Li Xiaolang, Xia Yu walked forward slowly, with the tip of his sword pointing diagonally at the ground. The afterglow of the setting sun cast the shadow of the sword in his hand on the ground, dark and long.

"don't want!!"

Seeing that Li Syaoran was about to fall into danger, Sakura hurriedly ran over from the side, holding the magic wand tightly in both hands and stood in front of Li Syaoran.

"What are you doing! Get out of the way!"

Li Syaoran looked at Sakura who was trembling in front of him, frowned and shouted at her, but Sakura didn't listen and was extremely firm.

Seeing this, Li Syaoran became even more anxious and wanted to stand up and pull Sakura away. However, he tried two or three times and was unable to successfully stand up with his exhausted body.

The next moment, danger has arrived.

Facing the cold sword, Sakura closed her eyes and shivered, looking pitiful.

Suddenly, a huge force came, and she was not paying attention for a moment. The wand in her hand was directly knocked away by the sword, and she fell to the ground because of the sudden force.

After knocking the magic wand out of Sakura's hand, Xia Yu raised the sword high, the blade reflecting a dim, cold and dangerous glow.

"don't want!!!"

Before the sword could be chopped down, Tomoyo, who had no power at all, suddenly ran over, hugged Sakura, who was sitting on the ground, and used his narrow back to block Sakura.

Puff-!
The sound of the sword tearing flesh could be heard.

Tomoyo, who was hugging Sakura tightly, trembled all over, but after waiting for a few seconds, she did not feel any pain.

But the sound just now...

Zhishi hurriedly looked back. Under the dim afterglow, Xia Yu had a ferocious expression on his face. His left hand tightly grasped the blade of the sword that was chopped down by his right hand, as if he was struggling with himself.

Blood flowed out from between his fingers, and the bright red liquid slid down the blade, dyeing it a strange scarlet red.

"Classmate Xia..."

Looking at the stalemate between Xia Yu and Jian Pai, Zhishi's heart trembled and his eyes flickered.

"I told you...I'll protect you!"

Although the words were intermittent, Zhishi seemed to understand Xia Yu's meaning. That was his promise last night. As the sun set, the scene on the street seemed to be frozen.

Feeling the stiffness of his body and the stinging pain in his palms, veins popped up in Xia Yu's arms. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a spell with difficulty: "Eliminate... your weapons!"

In an instant, the rapier that seemed to be stuck to the palm of his hand suddenly flashed white light, as if it was blown away by an invisible force, and it fell out of his hand, then stabbed fiercely into the wall beside him.

After successfully getting rid of the sword token that possessed him, Xia Yu felt relieved, his body softened, and he fell sideways.

He didn't know if it had anything to do with his emotions, but he had been practicing wandless spellcasting for a long time but had failed, but he was able to use it in this situation, even though he was using it on himself.

But strictly speaking, it should be used on the sword card.

Moreover, after using this spell, he was out of strength. It seems that he needs to continue to improve his physical fitness. He doesn't want to be a wizard who is unable to cast spells.

I'm really unlucky today. I didn't expect that I would get injured just by asking Sakura to seal the Sword Card. This is the first time I've been injured while sealing the Clow Cards.

I don’t know when I will be injured next time, but fortunately it will “heal as before”, so I don’t have to worry about the wound or scars.

While Xia Yu was daydreaming, he was waiting for his close contact with the ground. It would probably be a bit painful, so he should have worn something thicker.

However, the expected pain did not come, and he found that his body seemed to be supported by someone.

When he looked up, he saw that Zhishi had stood up at some point and was supporting his body with his arms, allowing him to slowly sit down on the ground.

"Xia, this may be a little painful, please bear with it."

Zhishi pursed his lips and looked at Xia Yu's left palm which was gushing with blood. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief from his pocket and planned to use it as gauze to bandage the wound.

Regarding Chishi's emergency treatment, Xia Yu originally wanted to say with a smile, don't worry, I have the magic to heal wounds.

But feeling Tomoyo's gentle movements in treating his wounds and looking at Tomoyo's worried expression, for some reason, he actually looked away embarrassedly and had no intention of speaking.

Of course, another reason was that he himself was not sure whether he could still cast the spell with his current physical strength.

If it fails to be used successfully, it seems to only add to the worries.

Just as Tomoyo was treating Xia Yu's wound, Xiaoke, who could only watch from the side, finally found his role. He hurriedly picked up the bird-headed magic wand that had fallen to the side and brought it to Sakura.

"Now, Sakura, seal the sword card!"

"it is good!"

Sakura, who had recovered from her shock, nodded heavily, hurriedly took her wand, and smashed it hard at the sword card that was stabbed into the wall.

"Return to your original form! Clow Cards!"

Ding--

The sound echoes and ripples appear.

Dozens of magic chains suddenly emerged from the illusory light blue card. These chains bound the sword card in front. After a few seconds, the blood-stained rapier was sealed into the card.

The sword card, which had turned into a paper card again, floated and flew towards the exhausted Xia Yu. Xia Yu also raised his right hand and took it in his hand.

　I don't know why, but I feel like this chapter is a bit bloody...

　　I still have a stomachache. Sakura protects Syaoran, Tomoyo protects Sakura, and Xia Yu holds the sword because of Tomoyo...

　　However, among these people, only Tomoyo has special feelings for Sakura. Sakura, Syaoran, and Xia Yu are the three wooden ones and have no other ideas at all. No one knows when these three wooden ones will come to their senses.
