Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 197: Scarlet Eyes


Meanwhile, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan noticed that the three injured men were not running slowly despite their wounds. However, even though they were quick, these two beauties were naturally not slow either. The problem was that the streets were still crowded, and those three rowdy youths were clearly accustomed to running through crowded areas. Thus, they easily dodged past the people with swift movements.

On the other hand, it was different for Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan. They'd never had to deal with people getting in their way before, so their speed was a beat slower compared to the three rowdy youths ahead of them.

The three rowdy youths eventually ran into an abandoned building.

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, their judgement clouded by their own strength, didn't even consider that they might be walking into a trap and followed directly into the building.

As the abandoned building was near a busy area, light from the surrounding street lamps filtered in, casting some illumination inside. The few people they were following rustled into the abandoned building.

There were railings surrounding the abandoned building, and the two beauties simply stood next to the railings.

Looking into the pitch-black interior of the abandoned building, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan stayed put and didn't go inside.

Clearly, this was the wisest decision.

Shen Qiuyu also arrived next to Ling Shuya and the others. Looking at the pitch-black abandoned building, a martial artist's innate sense of caution prevented Shen Qiuyu from letting her guard down. Seeing Ling Shuya take a couple of steps forward, Shen Qiuyu immediately said, "Don't go in yet, this might be a trap!"

"How can that be?" Ling Shuya, while not entirely convinced, was also not certain. She replied, "Could this really be a trap?"

Shen Qiuyu said, "It's very likely!"

Just then, a gruff voice speaking in Yan Country language suddenly came from inside!

"Since you've come, don't just stand there!"

Upon hearing a voice emerge from the darkness, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were greatly alarmed, while Shen Qiuyu looked sternly towards the inside of the pitch-black abandoned building!

"Who are you?" Shen Qiuyu asked fearlessly.

"Wrong, why only three women, where is Ye Xiao?" the voice inside the abandoned building called out again!

Upon hearing that voice again, Shen Qiuyu, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan were momentarily stunned, then they immediately understood—it truly was a trap!

Especially for Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, they realized they had acted impulsively. The person was indeed attempting to lure Ye Xiao into coming. Who could this person be?

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were also familiar with the Mountain Wolf Group, after all, they were present when Ye Xiao interrogated them last time!

"I am here!" His voice announced his arrival before he could be seen!

Ling Shuya and the other women immediately turned to see Ye Xiao and Lan Lan walking over!

Seeing that Shen Qiuyu and the others were alright, Ye Xiao immediately took a few steps forward to the front of the women, shielding them with his body as much as possible!

Ye Xiao looked up at the interior of the abandoned building and said, "I really didn't expect people from Beihai to invite others in such a manner!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, that gruff voice sounded again from inside!

"Ye Xiao, I admire your martial arts skills, but today, you must die here!" A shadowy figure stepped out from inside the abandoned building!

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that Qiushan He from last time?

The man had recovered quickly, but today Ye Xiao noticed that Qiushan He had a pair of iron spikes which seemed to be weapons.

Ye Xiao, facing Qiushan He, couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Looking for a beating again? Weren't you satisfied with the last one? Or have you found some reinforcements this time?"

"Reinforcements?" Qiushan He sneered coldly, looking at Ye Xiao with disdain, "You Yan Country people are always so arrogant. I was careless last time, but this time, I'll have you spilling your guts!"

"What are you to speak such big words?" Upon hearing Qiushan He's words, Shen Qiuyu's expression turned icy cold. Mainly because Qiushan He's statement had crossed her line—spilling Ye Xiao's guts was essentially killing him, something Shen Qiuyu could never accept!

Qiushan He glanced at Shen Qiuyu standing next to Ye Xiao, chuckled softly, and with even greater disdain said, "I have never fought women from the Beihai nation, but for women from other nations, I neither refrain from hitting them nor from killing them!"

Shen Qiuyu swiftly moved onto the steps of the abandoned building, her expression solemn, eyes fixed on Qiushan He!

Shen Qiuyu suddenly stepping forward truly surprised Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Lan Lan. However, her reaction was within Ye Xiao's expectations!

In fact, Ye Xiao had intended to ask Shen Qiuyu not to be rash, but since she was already on the steps of the abandoned building, it was too late for any advice.

Ye Xiao was aware of Shen Qiuyu's strength. Although she was at the peak of Yellow Rank, she had two deadly trump cards. Those two trump cards were probably enough to make her invincible among those of the Yellow Rank!

Qiushan He watched Shen Qiuyu with a slight chuckle, looking contemptuously at Ye Xiao and saying, "I really didn't expect that, you men from Yan Country actually rely on women's protection!"

Ye Xiao remained silent, not even glancing at Qiushan He, his eyes fixed on Shen Qiuyu!

Although Ye Xiao often teased Shen Qiuyu, in her heart, Ye Xiao was her dearest younger brother. Perhaps there was a mix of different feelings in their sibling affection, but one thing was certain, Shen Qiuyu was unwilling to let anyone bully Ye Xiao, except, of course, for those old men of Qiu Mountain!

"If you want to live another second, you'd better shut your mouth!" Shen Qiuyu's face twisted fiercely, like an angry lioness she roared at Qiushan He!

A sharp aura burst from Shen Qiuyu's body, and suddenly, she moved—yes, she really did, and with such swiftness!

In general, even the most powerful Yellow Rank martial artist wouldn't stand a chance against a Xuan Rank, even at the Yellow Rank Peak!

The hierarchy in Martial Arts Cultivation is very strict.

Seeing Shen Qiuyu charging at him like lightning, Qiushan He dared not be careless. He quickly reached to his waist, and those two iron spikes were instantly in his hands!

The cold gleam of the iron spikes flashed straight for Shen Qiuyu's fair neck, clearly, Qiushan He aimed to take her life!

Qiushan He's speed was obviously faster than Shen Qiuyu's, but just as those sharp iron spikes were about to pierce her, Shen Qiuyu's hand reached to her waist!

A flash of cold light!

'Clang!'

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out; Qiushan He couldn't help but stagger backward, and Shen Qiuyu also retreated a few steps!

Qiushan He looked at Shen Qiuyu in surprise. He could feel that this woman's inner strength was not as profound as his own, but...

Qiushan He took a closer look and was slightly startled. In Shen Qiuyu's hand was a sword—or rather, something resembling a long strip of paper. Yet it was this paper-like object that forced Qiushan He to retreat repeatedly!

What kind of sword was this?

Indeed, what Shen Qiuyu held in her hand was a sword—as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent. If one were not a martial artist, they would likely only see the hilt in Shen Qiuyu's hands!

"What is that?" Zhou Yuyan could see the sword in Shen Qiuyu's hand!

Ye Xiao saw it too, and even clearer, spying the chill only visible to those above Xuan Rank!

Yes, the chill!

"This is a soft sword, thin as a cicada's wing!" Ye Xiao explained to Zhou Yuyan with a smile!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Yuyan didn't doubt them in the slightest. Ye Xiao had said that Shen Qiuyu was his senior sister. Naturally, as a senior sister, she should be quite skillful, otherwise, how could she be worthy of the title?

At that moment on the battlefield, Shen Qiuyu, after retreating a few steps, immediately brandished the soft sword in her hand and charged at Qiushan He lightning-fast!

Now, Qiushan He really couldn't afford to be careless. Though he'd always been in Beihai Country, he still had some understanding of weapons. Take his iron spikes, for instance, full name Black Gold Iron Spikes, forged from the essence of black gold and mysterious iron, able to cut through ordinary metals like mud!

However, when the Black Gold Iron Spikes came into contact with Shen Qiuyu's soft sword, Qiushan He's hand trembled slightly, as if in humanlike fear!

This wasn't unprecedented. In the past, when Qiushan He sparred with the experts of Beihai Country, his opponents' rare weapons had elicited such a reaction from the Black Gold Iron Spikes!

But Ye Xiao remembered clearly—the weapon that had matched his Black Gold Iron Spikes was ranked among the top ten weapons for martial artists of Beihai Country. The rarity of its materials was almost unparalleled!

But this soft sword?

Now, as Shen Qiuyu attacked again, Qiushan He moved like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the attack of Shen Qiuyu's soft sword. He maneuvered the Black Gold Iron Spikes in tricky ways, aiming directly for Shen Qiuyu's abdomen—another vital spot!

Again, a vital spot!

Qiushan He's attacks were cunning and sharp, each one aimed fatally and mercilessly at his target!

Shen Qiuyu was shocked; in terms of weaponry, she was superior to Qiushan He, but in terms of inner strength, she was no match for him!

However, in that critical moment, Shen Qiuyu's eyes suddenly changed color; the originally clear pupils turned blood-red!

Qiushan He caught the change in Shen Qiuyu's eyes and, in that instant, felt his head grow slightly dizzy, though the confusion lasted less than a second before it cleared!

However, in a high-level confrontation, half a second was enough to change the tide!

Taking advantage of Qiushan He's momentary confusion, Shen Qiuyu swiftly dodged the attack of the Black Gold Iron Spikes, and simultaneously, her soft sword whisked past Qiushan He's arm!

A fine wound appeared on Qiushan He's body, and blood promptly began oozing from his arm!
