"Ah?"
Qiushan He could hardly believe this was true; he had been attacked by this woman who was definitely not at the Xuan Rank, yet he hadn't been able to touch her at all!
When Qiushan He looked into Shen Qiuyu's eyes again, he found that her eyes had returned to normal!
Shen Qiuyu originally should not have been able to defeat Qiushan He, only, the soft sword in her hand, and those eyes that suddenly turned red!
Qiushan He wanted to confirm that the eyes were still red, but Shen Qiuyu's eyes had already changed back to a very normal color!
Qiushan He couldn't understand, but Shen Qiuyu didn't give him much time to think, as her soft sword immediately stabbed towards Qiushan He again!
Qiushan He's speed was also extremely fast, and he immediately retreated explosively!
The fight between the two seemed slow, but it was actually very fast, occurring in the blink of an eye.
The scratch on Qiushan He's arm completely enraged him, his speed then drastically increased, and were there any reservations in Qiushan He before, now he had none left, his only goal was to defeat this strange woman in front of him!
After exploding back, Qiushan He immediately charged towards Shen Qiuyu, his speed was much faster than before, and Shen Qiuyu took him seriously, and in the blink of an eye, they were fighting together again!
The gap between the Xuan and Yellow Ranks began to show in this fight!
Although Shen Qiuyu, relying on her soft sword, could still fight against Qiushan He, it was undeniable that her disadvantage was becoming more and more apparent!
Several times, Qiushan He almost hit Shen Qiuyu's fatal spots, but each time, she dissolved it with her blood-colored eyes!
However, the effect of those blood-colored eyes seemed to only confuse the opponent momentarily, but Qiushan He recovered in about half a second each time, allowing Shen Qiuyu to merely dodge the fatal blows!
"Die!" Qiushan He's black iron spike once again thrust quickly toward Shen Qiuyu's neck!
By this time, after using the blood-colored eyes several times, Shen Qiuyu's inner strength had been greatly depleted, so facing another deadly attack from Qiushan He, Shen Qiuyu tried to dodge, but could not, and the black iron spike was about to pierce her neck!
'Bang'
Suddenly, a muffled sound, and Qiushan He's black iron spike unexpectedly shifted to the side, allowing Shen Qiuyu to dodge this attack!
A shadow flashed, and Ye Xiao appeared on the broken building's stairway; he stretched out his hand to pull Shen Qiuyu behind him and smilingly looked at Qiushan He!
"Little wretch, it seems I was right to name you that. For such a beautiful woman, you actually can bring yourself to deal her a fatal blow!"
Qiushan He's expression was icy cold. Seeing Ye Xiao appear, his face showed a frenzied look again. There is no doubt that Qiushan He was a genius; during his time in Beihai Country, he was certainly one of the best among the younger generation!
However, coincidentally, Ye Xiao was also a genius, truly a genius among geniuses compared to Qiushan He!
Ye Xiao's martial arts talent was also not bad, but the best thing he had was the Nine Yang Divine Skill; without it, Ye Xiao found it hard to believe he would have reached his current level of strength!
Qiushan He said coldly, "Want a two-on-one? No problem, bring it on!"
Ye Xiao, hearing Qiushan He's words, immediately laughed. Did this guy forget how he had been thoroughly defeated by him in the suburbs?
Did he forget all of that?
Or perhaps, did Qiushan He now have something to rely on? Could it just be that iron spike?
A remarkable weapon can indeed enhance a person's strength, but an undeniable point is that weapons are ultimately an external assistance. Unless the weapon's rank is extremely high, it would not be very useful at least in Ye Xiao's current view!
So far, Ye Xiao had never had a weapon that truly suited him; no wonder this guy would think that way!
"Ye Xiao, he is at least at the Xuan Rank now, so it might take both of us together to defeat him!" Shen Qiuyu said to Ye Xiao with worried eyes as she looked at Qiushan He!
In Shen Qiuyu's memory, Ye Xiao's strength was still at the Yellow Rank Peak, so she had no idea that Ye Xiao's power was now close to the Middle Stage Xuan Rank, hence her concern!
Before, no matter what, Shen Qiuyu could never defeat Ye Xiao. If it came to natural talent, Shen Qiuyu would be much stronger than Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao practiced unparalleled divine techniques, which is why his strength improved faster than Shen Qiuyu's!
Hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, Ye Xiao slightly smiled, then said to Shen Qiuyu, "Senior Sister, you rest for a bit. You've always been protecting me all along, so let me protect you today!"
"Ye Xiao, don't be foolish, you are no match for him!" Shen Qiuyu looked at Ye Xiao worriedly!
Ye Xiao disdainfully said, "He's just a defeated foe. I assure you, today I'll take that pair of iron spikes from him!"
Shen Qiuyu looked at Ye Xiao, her expression one of disdain, but her body radiating immense confidence. She wanted to say something else, but in the end, remained silent!
Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan immediately also went up the steps. They were very confident in Ye Xiao's strength. After going up the steps, they said to Shen Qiuyu, "Sister Qiuyu, let Ye Xiao fight him alone, Ye Xiao will definitely be able to defeat this man!"
Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Shen Qiuyu was slightly startled, then no longer spoke. Finally, she glanced at Ye Xiao, then with a flip of her hand, the soft sword was directly plunged into her own stomach!
Shen Qiuyu's actions had startled Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, leaving them wondering what was going on. Was she trying to commit suicide?
Obviously, Shen Qiuyu was not foolish enough to commit suicide. When she drove the soft sword into her abdomen, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan then realized that the sheath of the soft sword had been wrapped around Shen Qiuyu's waist all along!
Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were both extremely surprised by this!
After Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan had brought Shen Qiuyu down the steps, Ye Xiao smiled at Qiushan He and said, "Considering you've been injured and just fought with my senior sister, to avoid you saying we are ganging up on you, I'm giving you a chance—ten moves."
Every martial artist is extremely proud, and this is absolutely true regardless of nationality!
So, when Qiushan He heard Ye Xiao's words, his expression turned cold. To him, Ye Xiao's words were nothing short of a blatant insult!
"No need, this is a duel between warriors!" Qiushan He's face was very serious.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao found himself respecting Qiushan He. His strength was indeed commendable!
The reason he had fled before must have been because he thought that without the wujin iron spikes, he couldn't truly show off his strength. Now that he had his iron spikes...
Suddenly, Qiushan He dashed towards Ye Xiao at high speed. Ye Xiao merely smiled and stood still, not moving an inch!
Although he liked Qiushan He's character, he had said he would allow Qiushan He ten moves, and he would certainly allow them!
Ye Xiao did not want Qiushan He to think that the people of Yan Country outnumbered him!
Seeing Ye Xiao standing motionless and still smiling, Qiushan He's heart filled with fury. This was an insult—a blatant insult!
Qiushan He's wujin iron spikes suddenly thrust towards Ye Xiao's face!
Seeing that Qiushan He had actually targeted his face, Ye Xiao cursed inwardly. Qiushan He really was despicable, trying to ruin his handsome face!
This was absolutely unforgivable!
However, as Ye Xiao had said he would let Qiushan He have his moves, he kept his hands behind his back and quickly retreated!
Since Ye Xiao's skill level was slightly higher than Qiushan He's, and he possessed the Wind Shadow Steps, it was obviously impossible for Qiushan He to hit Ye Xiao with his iron spikes in such a short time!
Ye Xiao swayed his body, dodging Qiushan He's iron spike, then leaped up, putting some distance between them again!
Qiushan He turned around to look at Ye Xiao, frowning slightly.
Ye Xiao, with a smile, said, "One move!"
Ye Xiao wouldn't have mentioned "one move" if it hadn't been for the fact that it hardened Qiushan He's expression as if frost had formed, ice-cold to the extreme!
Qiushan He charged at Ye Xiao again, his iron spikes swift as lightning, targeting Ye Xiao's two vital areas!
Without a doubt!
Relying on his ultra-fast movement, Ye Xiao once again dodged Qiushan He's attack, but he could already feel that Qiushan He's speed had increased significantly!
Ye Xiao stopped and again smiled, saying, "Two moves!"
"Damn it!"
Qiushan He couldn't help but curse loudly, and he charged at Ye Xiao again. In his eyes, Ye Xiao was someone who needed to die, for he had touched his bottom line!
"Three moves!"
"Four moves!"
"..."
"Nine moves!"
Ye Xiao once again spoke those words!
At that moment, Qiushan He's forehead was slightly sweaty. Nine moves had passed, and he hadn't even touched a single hair on Ye Xiao. This was absolutely humiliating for Qiushan He!
"Go to hell!" Qiushan He did not want Ye Xiao to really give him ten moves, as he might really have to commit suicide by disembowelment then!
Qiushan He suddenly sprang up like a fierce jackal, charging at Ye Xiao with great speed!
In just the blink of an eye, Qiushan He was right in front of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao really wanted to dodge, but this time Qiushan He was striking with all his might, and his displayed strength was definitely surpassing his usual level!
Whether it was speed or attack strength, it was nearly comparable to a Mid-stage Xuan Rank martial artist!
The two wujin iron spikes, like two shooting stars, aimed at Ye Xiao's heart and abdomen at such speed that they were obviously surpassing Ye Xiao's ability to dodge!
With a muffled sound, the rapidly advancing Qiushan He suddenly stood still. To his shock, his iron spikes had almost pierced into Ye Xiao's body. However, Ye Xiao's hands were holding the tips of his iron spikes, preventing them from advancing any further!
