Chapter 24

When the night was deep and quiet, Xu Yun heard the sound of Chou Yan knocking on the door again. He was now very certain of Chou Yan's strong desire to live.

"Now no one will disturb us," Xu Yun said with a smile as he opened the door.

Chou Yan didn't say much, sitting back in her usual spot and decisively taking off her top. She took out seven silver needles from the silver box: "Let's begin."

Although this was the second time Xu Yun had seen Chou Yan's smooth, white back, he still took several deep breaths to suppress the evil thoughts in his mind. Xu Yun was not a pervert, but he was certainly not a saint who could remain calm in such a situation.

"Your internal injuries have been there for a long time. You might feel uncomfortable, so be prepared," Xu Yun warned.

Chou Yan nodded, saying "Mm." For Guo Guo, there was nothing she couldn't bear now!

Xu Yun didn't waste any more time. His right index and middle fingers quickly took out a silver needle, and a surge of internal energy rose from his dantian, directly forcing it to the tips of his fingers. Xu Yun's wrist flipped, and he directly inserted the silver needle into the Shendao acupoint on Chou Yan's back. A warm current flowed along the silver needle into Chou Yan's acupoint!

Chou Yan instantly felt a sense of relief, and the blood clots in her heart and lungs were gradually dissolved by the warm, gentle internal energy.

Xu Yun, while gently rotating the needle with his thumb and index finger, said, "Try to adjust your breathing! Get the silver needle ready, and when I count to three, insert it into the Yutang acupoint in the center of your chest."

Chou Yan didn't speak, trying her best to adjust her breathing rhythm. She raised the silver needle in her hand to indicate she was ready.

Xu Yun's hand flashed, and he took out the second silver needle: "One, two, three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them simultaneously inserted the silver needles into the Yutang acupoint on Chou Yan's chest and the Lingtai acupoint on her back!

Chou Yan felt a surge of freshness, as if all the impurities in her body were being expelled through the punctured acupoints. This sense of comfort was something she had never experienced since her injury.

With this perfect cooperation, Xu Yun was confident enough to let Chou Yan insert the needles into her chest herself. They then inserted the remaining silver needles into the major acupoints of the Ren and Du meridians.

Each time, the internal energy Xu Yun secretly transmitted through the silver needles made Chou Yan feel even more relaxed.

Finally, Xu Yun inserted the last silver needle, which contained his internal energy, into the Mingmen acupoint on Chou Yan's lower back. Seeing the dark purple color in the acupoints on Chou Yan's back fade, he knew that the silver needles were very effective in dissolving the blood clots.

"Phew..." Xu Yun finally let out a long sigh of relief!

Just as Chou Yan was feeling comfortable in her meridians, she suddenly frowned.

A faint rustling sound came from the roof, and two light footsteps landed, so faint that they were almost inaudible to the human ear.

"Stay calm, and breathe according to the flow of the meridians. I'll take care of the two rats outside," Xu Yun said with a sinister smile. He hadn't expected that the others would be so quick, sending two more after one was already defeated!

Now wasn't the time for Chou Yan to act on impulse. She could only calm down and adjust the order of her meridians, or she might suffer even more severe backlash. She had to leave the rest to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun, wearing flip-flops, didn't take the usual route and jumped out of the window again. The whole process was smooth and fluid, with no delay.

"Thank goodness Chou Yan can't fight today, or this roof would have become a slaughterhouse," Xu Yun muttered to himself.

On the roof, the two men stopped. A low voice said, "Gong You, I found the tracker left by Mountain Cat."

"From this, it seems that Mountain Cat is in grave danger," another voice cautiously added, "Violent Fox is indeed Violent Fox. Despite such severe injuries, he managed to escape Mountain Cat's pursuit. Qin Hu, we must be very careful!"

"Hmph," the low voice said with a hint of disdain, "Gong You, you're overestimating Chou Yan. If Mountain Cat really met with any misfortune, it must have been her luck. With such severe internal injuries, she's probably close to death. A dying person can't pose any threat to us!"

"Cough!"

A sudden light cough startled the two men on the roof, making them break out in cold sweat! They quickly entered a defensive stance, sensing the killing intent!

"Cang Ying Gong You, Beast Qin Hu," Xu Yun smiled and walked up to them, "You two are quite famous in the underground world. What are you doing up here at this hour of the night?"

Gong You narrowed his eyes, looking very alert at the person in front of him. This guy could approach them silently and knew they were from the underground world, which meant he was definitely not an ordinary person!

"May I ask who you are? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Gong You's eyes flashed with a cruel look, and Xu Yun knew that only a bloodthirsty person would have such a cruel expression.

"Xu Yun," Xu Yun narrowed his eyes, his body suddenly radiating a strong fighting spirit, quickly entering a combat state, "Have you heard of me?"

"Gong You, don't waste time with this nobody!" Qin Hu, who was impulsive, revealed a cold light in his eyes, filled with killing intent!

"Don't be hasty!" Gong You sternly said, not rushing to attack.

Gong You had already determined that Xu Yun's strength was at least on par with theirs. The fate of Mountain Cat was likely related to this person, as Violent Fox was already half-dead and might have been killed by this person!

Xu Yun smiled, "Looking for the person from yesterday? Don't waste your time. Chou Yan killed him."

This made Gong You and Qin Hu's killing intent instantly explode. Gong You's eyes flashed with malice, "You really know about Violent Fox... Hmph, where is she!?"

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow, "I do know where Chou Yan is, but what if I don't want to tell you?"

"Cang Ying! This guy is clearly provoking us! Let's kill him first and then find that bitch Chou Yan!" Qin Hu glared at Xu Yun, gritting his teeth. After all, he and Mountain Cat were close, and now that he was sure Mountain Cat was dead, he was naturally very upset.

Xu Yun hadn't expected the other side to be so ruthless, sending two quasi-second-rate experts. Even if Chou Yan had no internal injuries, dealing with two peak second-rate experts would be very challenging.

Gong You also gradually lost his patience, "Since you won't talk, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"I'll make sure you die a miserable death!" Qin Hu suddenly took a step to the left, kneeled on his right knee, and formed a tiger claw with his hands, his right hand extended forward and his left hand placed in front of his chest! His eyes were fixed on Xu Yun, a fierce move like a waking tiger!

Gong You also crouched, his eyes sharp, his right foot pulled back, his body almost lying on the ground, his long arms like a mantis! Xu Yun knew this wasn't a mantis fist, but Gong You's self-created knife-arm fist!

"Today, I'll play with you two," Xu Yun said with a cold laugh, a fierce killing aura suddenly rising from his ordinary body!

A huge wave of killing intent instantly exploded in the air, rapidly enveloping the entire rooftop of the medicinal cuisine restaurant!

Gong You and Qin Hu instantly felt a bone-chilling cold! Their brows furrowed, and their faces turned serious. They never expected the opponent's aura to be so terrifying!

The killing intent alone was enough to make even a beginner expert feel unbearable, and even they, two second-rate experts, felt a sense of fear, almost wanting to retreat.

But Qin Hu's killing intent didn't diminish! He wouldn't back down just because of Xu Yun's killing aura. Their purpose today was simple: either find Mountain Cat or take Chou Yan's body back!

Even if a third party intervened, Qin Hu would still kill! Kill! Kill!

Gong You wasn't so careless. He now understood why Mountain Cat had died here. There was such a formidable person hidden here!

Violent Fox was indeed not simple, to have hired such a top expert! This was a miscalculation by their leader!

Xu Yun was already prepared. Although fighting two second-rate experts wasn't easy, what else could he do but handle it himself? He had just used acupuncture to unblock Chou Yan's meridians and dissolve the blood clots in her body. If she fought now, it would be like sending her to her death.

Xu Yun hoped these two would be weak enough for him to handle. At the very least, he needed to defeat them. Once Chou Yan recovered, she would be a great help!

In an instant, Qin Hu had already rushed forward three steps, his massive body spinning and launching a fierce attack with both hands, like a hungry tiger leaping over a mountain!

At the same time, Gong You didn't hesitate to attack at the same moment. His body moved like a diving eagle, his wrists flipping to reveal two sharp blades, the sharp edges looking particularly terrifying in the night.

Gong You knew that only by working together could they have a chance to win!

Gong You quickly slashed at Xu Yun's ankles with his short blades! Qin Hu's hands suddenly reached for Xu Yun's chest! The two worked in perfect coordination, clearly experienced in fighting together!

Facing two experts, Xu Yun didn't dare to be careless. His steps were agile, his figure like a shadow, dodging Gong You's lightning-fast short blades! He then sidestepped to avoid Qin Hu's powerful claw attack!

While dodging their attacks, Xu Yun didn't idle. His right fist suddenly twisted and struck, a powerful punch with the force of wind and lightning, hitting Qin Hu's abdomen!

This punch was absolutely vicious! Qin Hu felt as if his abdomen was being torn by a knife, the internal energy bursting inside him like a flexible force. If Xu Yun followed up with another powerful punch, it would be enough to kill Qin Hu!

Gong You naturally wouldn't give Xu Yun such an opportunity. His cold blades pressed forward without hesitation! Xu Yun felt two sharp gusts of wind coming at him and had to quickly retreat two steps!

Gong You, eager to attack, left a huge opening in his back! Xu Yun couldn't miss such a good opportunity. He suddenly stepped forward, his body flipping in the air, and delivered a powerful kick with full internal energy, smashing down on Gong You's back!
