Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 150 House Cleaning V : Miranda

However attributing normalcy to cultivators of the Zhang family of the Wudang sect would be nothing more than sheer idiocy and stupidity along with a boat load of ignorance.

Performing miracles is what they do. Miranda was wearing a purple robe that was tailored to her feminine figure, it clung tightly to her figure and as she came down from the seventh floor, floating down like some immortal G.o.ddess from an ancient fairy tail. She was beautiful, devastatingly so, so much so that Xiao Mei looked somewhat plain in front of her, but considering Xiao Mei was dressed simply in a pink hoody, and faded jeans along with sneakers, and no make up it would be hard to compare her with Miranda who had the whole ensemble ready to slay.

"I do not wish to fight you guys Lady Xiao Mei, it would be counter productive and quite frankly you're not my match, the gulf between the mortal gate and the earth gate is not something that can simply be crossed by the miraculous talent of the Zhang clan. You will fail, and quite frankly you're not the one leading this charade, so I would want to face the person you all seem to be deferring to....your brother." Alex raised an eyebrow at that, he didn't expect that at all.

"Then I guess you're pretty much a hypocrite, you already said I'm not your match, so why would you want to face my brother who's in the open Dantian realm, and not to mention pretty much tired after a battle with demonic beast in the true element realm.....that won't be fair now would it." Xiao Mei asked, her eyebrows scrunched up together in annoyance.

"Don't get me wrong Zhang Xiao Mei, I'm not that shameless. But you people can't just come out of nowhere and destabilize my organization floor by floor and ask me to be okay with it, and then have the gall to throw a challenge at me and offer conditions like I'm so b.i.t.c.h at the behest of a child who doesn't even know what a woman's v.a.g.i.n.a looks like!

You all have to be taught a lesson, but I'm not some ridiculous arrogant fool like you people. You've gotten to the seventh floor, but you're all going to be playing by my rules now, I don't have to cater to your bulls.h.i.+t because you're some talented arrogant fool with the world at his feet, I've worked hard to get where I am today, and I'll be d.a.m.ned if I let some fool riding on the coat tails of his mother's husband and her family. We'll be fighting, but we will not be using energy of any sort, just pure weapons and martial skills.

I hear you used to be really good with swords right...you and I would have a duel between the swordsman and swordswoman. First to draw blood wins, if I win, you and all your Zhang clan family members would move into the first floor as members of my organization. If I lose, I'll disband the starlight organization and leave you guys alone. This should be fair enough for all of you, so Zhang Xiao Feng, what do you say to my proposal."

Did Alex even feel the need to think too much about this, it was not as if he was confident hat he would be able to beat her, but it was the way she had described him. Alex couldn't help the feeling that it was true, that somehow in one way or the other he had slowly become the very thing that he was trying to fight. It was a rather rude wake up call, he didn't want to be the guy who would go everywhere and making everyone bend over for him based on his backing and power, sure this was place where power spoke the loudest, and if you weren't strong people would step all-over you. But the thing is, Alex did not want to be the bully, regardless of how other people saw it, he wanted to in some way or the other do something right, to still be the good guy, because no matter how you saw it, in this world, everybody is a bad guy.

"Very well Miranda, I accept your challenge. However should I win, I would make a request of you that you can not refuse, are we in agreement?" Alex asked her as he walked forward, raising his hand to catch the simple steel sword Miranda grew at him.

"You've got yourself a deal."

There was no fanfare, no announcement, no staring at themselves like mortal enemies, they just fell right into the fight as they rushed towards each other, their bodies moving so fast it was like a blur to the others.*clang!* Alex felt vibrations traveling all through the body of the steel sword and back into his arms.

This was not the one handed longsword he was used to, but rather a two handed longsword. Sure he could still use a single hand, but both Hans gave him more power and balance, something that Miranda also seemed to understand, as she pushed back at Alex holding her sword in the same way.

It was a contest of strength, and they seemed equally matched as Alex was not the only one to feel the vibrations from the swords. .h.i.tting each other. Alex kicked Miranda in the foot suddenly, trying to throw her off guard, but she responded by tripping her way into a head b.u.t.t that rocked Alex's vision, making him take a few steps backwards as Miranda slashed upwards, attempting to tear Alex in half.

Alex slammed the side of his sword into hers, pus.h.i.+ng it out of the way and he moved forwards slamming the hilt of his sword into her chest. The moves of always using the hilt of a sword in a fight was a quick of Alex that both Louis and Yun Fao had picked up, it wasn't a part of his training, but it was like someone learning to dance, but always eager to add an extra flourish of his own. Miranda cost as if someone threw a ma.s.sive rock into her chest, but she only took three steps backwards, leaving cracks on the ground, as Alex's strength truly shocked her.

Alex tried for an over head swing, but her sword was there to meet his, as they slowly began to pick up speed.*clang!* *Clang* *clang!* The sounds of both steel swords slamming into each other was so loud and so never grating that every time those blades met, everyone else watching would be wincing in refund as their ear rang. Miranda unleashed a triple slash combo, forcing Alex on the offensive as she stepped forwards after getting him over extend himself a bit, her sword was coming up from the left side of Alex, as she hoped to cut him in half from hip to shoulder. But Alex quickly took a play out of her own play book and slammed his forehead against hers, hitting her so hard she was thrown backwards.

Miranda stabbed her sword into the ground, bringing a halt to her momentum as she shot forwards towards Alex, who in turn rushed at her. She slid across the ground as she slashed as his Legs, but Alex made a leap over head, his body making a cartwheel in the air as he stabbed down. Miranda had used the force from her missed swing to make a full circle rotation, her still slas.h.i.+ng sword meeting the sword being stabbed for above and pus.h.i.+ng it aside, almost throwing it out of Alex's hand.

Alex landed and took two steps backwards before rus.h.i.+ng forwards again, the long sword being dragged behind him. Then much to the shock of everyone, Alex threw the sword at Miranda, forcing her to slash upwards, hitting Alex's thrown sword into the air and leaving herself wide open for the young man to slither like a python around her body with his hands tightly grasping here, and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were fully in his clutches, forcing Miranda to go blank for a second as Alex utilized a move that has no failed him yet.

(Sky Python Slams Earth)

All his muscles contracted and pushed their limits, his gaze fully focused on Miranda, the sword in her hands, and his sword in the sky that was about to make it's descent back down. He better the young woman up, his grip very much like the unbreakable coils of a dangerous python, and without a single hint of remorse, Alex slammed her into the ground.*Boom* the hit was so hard and so thunderous that cracks spread Allover the ground and a little crater 10 inch deep was formed, it was hard to imagine just how big a crater that would be if Alex had been able to utilize his energy in that move.

Miranda was rocked, daze as she felt as if her brain was rattling around in her own skull. Sure she would be able to recover from this in a second or two, but a second was all Alex needed as he raised his hand to grab the hilt of the sword falling from the sky and stabbed it down hard, right towards Miranda's pristine head. Loud exclamations were made as many eyes were closed, Miranda herself had her eye open wide at the sword a centimeter away from her face, and a trail of her blood sliding down it's blade from the small cut it made on her cheek. Alex had drawn first blood, he won, which means, he was now the master of this tower.
