Rebecca's anger has affected her Observation Haki's predictive attacks, but Vic didn't warn her. Even without Observation Haki, Rebecca wouldn't lose to the Lao Si.
Rebecca is now practically a reserve general, except for lacking Armament Haki. Vic believes that Rebecca's Armament Haki Awakening soon, and with a few years of consolidation and improvement, her overall combat strength will definitely not be inferior to those veteran Vice Admiral, after all, with Vic as a cheat code.
Seeing that her first attack had failed, Rebecca quickly moved forward and changed her stance, thrusting her longsword straight at the Lao Si's brow.
Because there were still several meters between the two, even though Rebecca was faster, the Lao Si still managed to dodge the stab, but his top hat was pierced by the blue blade.
Although the Lao Si was not injured, a strip of white scalp was visible in the middle of his head, making his hairstyle look like a middle part.
This was caused by Rebecca's Sword Qi; her brow was spared, but her hair suffered.
Rebecca's moves were fluid and seamless. She casually tossed off the top hat from the blade, spun around in place, and then thrust the sword out again while still spinning.
This time, the sword was aimed at the Lao Si's throat, a fatal wound. The Lao Si struggled to turn his head as the sword pierced through, and a bloody gash appeared on the side of his neck.
The Lao Si struggled to dodge several attacks in a row, his knife seemingly useless; his swordsmanship was still far inferior to Rebecca's.
With a quick movement, the Lao Si instantly distanced himself from Rebecca. Rebecca's attacks were too fierce, one move after another, each aimed at his vital points. Who could withstand that?
The Lao Si could only pray in his heart that the Lao San would come quickly to help him share the burden. If he was late, he would only see his father's corpse. If he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have been so eager to come here!
Rebecca glanced at the Lao Si in surprise, but quickly regained her composure and continued her attack. Rebecca was very aggressive, like a lioness attacking her prey.
Rebecca instantly unleashed two sword strikes, two pale blue Sword Gang flying from the blue blades, one aimed at Lao Si's face and the other at his Lao Si and abdomen.
The Lao Si's expression changed as soon as he saw this. He was also a swordsman and naturally knew that a swordsman who could unleash Flying Slash was very strong, and his swordsmanship was a level higher than his own.
The Lao Si dared not take the blow head-on and chose to dodge. The Flying Slash powerful enough, but not fast enough. This was a common problem for swordsmen who had just reached this level. The Flying Slash could not keep up with the speed and could only cut through ships and cannonballs. It was difficult to be effective against opponents of similar level.
The Lao Si dodged two Flying Slash, but the sea of flowers behind him suffered the consequences; one of the slashes aimed at his face flew into the air.
However, the cut towards the waist and abdomen was diagonally downwards, as if a new road had been opened up behind it, with the path paved with severed petals, creating a unique charm.
The mere thought that this is Devil's Flower that causes addiction instantly wiped away that feeling. Perhaps only those with twisted minds would find it beautiful!
People admiring the flowers in the Flower Field were all watching the battle. They had been watching the excitement ever since the gang surrounded the wooden house, but they all kept their distance, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire. The battle was intense, but no one came close to watch. That's probably just human nature!
The Lao Si felt he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death. As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and if he continued to defend, he might die from a single move.
The Red-Hair girl opposite him was somewhat sinister, specializing in attacking vital points. If you didn't dodge her attack, you would be out of the game. So, the Lao Si decided to take the initiative. Although his overall speed might not be as good, he could increase his speed significantly for a short period of time, which could be called a burst or a power surge!
The Lao Si pushed off the ground with both feet and instantly disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Rebecca, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
The moment the Lao Si appeared, he raised his right hand, holding a knife, to shoulder height, and slashed the long knife in a semi-circle, intending to cut off Rebecca's head directly from behind.
Rebecca was no pushover either; she could see through such speed and turned to block the horizontally approaching longsword with her sword.
Seeing that his first attack had failed, the Lao Si immediately turned around and swung his sword at the other side of her neck. Rebecca simply moved her longsword to the other side to continue blocking the sword.
Thus, the Lao Si repeatedly turned and slashed, but Rebecca blocked his attacks within a small area, preventing Lao Si from achieving any success.
Knowing this tactic was useless, the Lao Si lowered his body the instant he turned to swing his knife, aiming the blade at Rebecca's waist and abdomen.
Rebecca reversed her longsword, tip pointing downwards, to continue blocking the Lao Si's slash. In the instant the swords clashed, Rebecca raised her left foot and kicked the Lao Si in the face.
"Ah!"
With a scream, the Lao Si flew into the sea of flowers like a cannonball, leaving a blank space in the flower field.
The Lao Si knew he couldn't give up fighting Rebecca, because if he stopped, he might be facing that woman holding the child over there, which truly terrified him!
Konan was also very surprised to see how amazing Rebecca was. She covered her mouth with her hand and looked amazed!
The old lady's eyes also shone with undisguised joy. These new trainees had already brought her so many surprises; this time, her gamble had paid off.
She felt a little tired, but she didn't think much of it, assuming it was just because she had been in a state of excitement.
The Lao Si leaped out of the flower bushes and swung his sword at Rebecca from mid-air. As the two closed the distance, Rebecca swung her longsword, the tip of which casually touched the Lao Si's longsword, instantly changing its trajectory.
The moment Rebecca deflected the longsword, she leaped and spun around, delivering a beautiful spinning kick that struck the Lao Si squarely in the chest.
Poor Lao Si had just flown back when he immediately crashed into the flowerbed. He flew out faster than he jumped back, and like a shooting star, he crashed into the ground.
"Wow! Rebecca is so cool!" Konan was truly amazed by Rebecca's roundhouse kick.
The main thing is that Rebecca has a really good figure, her legs are really long, and her move is also cool enough. All of these combined made Konan exclaim in surprise.
Most importantly, the Lao Si flew out. This move was very effective and powerful. It was something Vic taught Rebecca when she was a child, when Rebecca learned many physical techniques other than swordsmanship.
"What's so great about that! I'll be able to do it when I grow up."
Although Ain, nestled in Vic's arms, was saying things she didn't agree with, she couldn't hide the envy in her eyes; she also thought he was very cool.
It wasn't just this set of movements; Rebecca's swordsmanship was steady, accurate, and ruthless, all of which were very entertaining to watch. Combined with the blue blade, it was truly beautiful, cool, clean, and efficient.
Vic simply smiled and said nothing. Rebecca was someone he had mentored, so he was naturally pleased to be praised.
He just hadn't expected that Rebecca, who was usually so naive, would become a completely different person once she entered battle mode. She had a strong fighting spirit and was even more decisive and swift in her attacks than he was, unleashing one killing move after another on the enemy, giving them no chance to breathe. She had become an excellent warrior.
