Chapter 84

Qin Wan'er returned, and the highly alert Chou Yan had already woken up. The almost silent footsteps that followed were what startled Chou Yan. Xu Yun hadn't heard the appearance of Red Scorpion, probably because he was distracted by the snow-white Qin Wan'er in front of him.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that even after so much time has passed, Fox Venerable is still so devoted," Red Scorpion smiled slightly and said calmly, "I really envy Feng Qiansui for having you as an assistant."

Chou Yan angrily rebuked the vague figure of Red Scorpion in the darkness ahead, though she had already determined that Red Scorpion would eventually find her tonight, she didn't expect it to be so soon!

Red Scorpion continued, "No one expected you to survive after being hit by the Seven Absolute Palm; it's a miracle. Green Ghost is now particularly fond of you. As long as you submit, I believe he won't make things difficult for you. We won't hold you accountable for killing Gong You and the others."

"You must be dreaming!" Chou Yan's body was tense, her gaze never leaving Red Scorpion, even if it meant mutual destruction, she would not back down.

Although Red Scorpion's face was relaxed, his body was not at all relaxed. He knew very well that even though Chou Yan was injured, she was still a top-notch expert. "Fox Venerable, I've said what I needed to say. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chou Yan sneered, "I want to see what you can do!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a silver light appeared in Chou Yan's hand. The flexible sword Longyuan shot out like an arrow, aiming directly at Red Scorpion's face! Red Scorpion was already prepared for Chou Yan's attack. He suddenly jumped back, landing on the window sill, and with a cold laugh, he flipped backward, landing lightly.

As soon as Red Scorpion landed, Chou Yan also leaped out of the window. She didn't want to fight Red Scorpion in the room, fearing that others might get hurt.

"Fox Venerable, are you sure you want to fight?" Red Scorpion laughed coldly. Chou Yan's lightning-fast attack had indeed surprised him. After all, Green Ghost had personally said she was hit by the Seven Absolute Palm. Why was she still so quick?

Chou Yan's injuries had improved significantly under the care of Xu Yun's Nine Turn Soul Reviving Pill. Only she knew this. Although she wasn't fully recovered, she had at least regained 90% of her strength.

"I will settle accounts with Feng Qiansui slowly," Chou Yan's body suddenly burst with overwhelming killing intent. A few days ago, when Gong You and the others came, she couldn't even move. Now, it was different.

Red Scorpion was taken aback. This didn't look like someone who had been hit by the Seven Absolute Palm. No wonder those three guys fell here!

The flexible sword Longyuan flickered in the night, its cold aura intensified by Chou Yan's fierce killing intent, making her seem like she was wearing a demon's cloak. This was the power of a top-notch underground expert!

"Hmph." Red Scorpion's smile disappeared, his eyes sharp and piercing. "Since you're not cooperating, I have no choice..."

The two top-notch experts suddenly attacked, their momentum like a waterfall from the sky!

Chou Yan's flexible sword moved like a silver snake, each strike aiming at Red Scorpion's vital points, leaving marks like abstract art. Red Scorpion dodged skillfully, though it looked dangerous, not a single strike hit him.

Suddenly, Red Scorpion leaped backward, his arms spread wide, and two cold rays shot out from his hands! Chou Yan was startled and quickly retreated several steps, holding the flexible sword Longyuan in front of her. Red Scorpion's hidden weapon hit her sword, sparking with a loud crack.

Chou Yan's expression changed. It was a scorpion tail needle!

This was the hidden weapon that made Red Scorpion famous in the underground world. It took 49 days to poison the needle, making it extremely toxic. Contact with the skin could make one wish for death, and a puncture wound could be fatal. If the needle entered the body, there was almost no chance of survival.

"Fox Venerable, since you don't appreciate it, I don't need to be polite anymore," Red Scorpion's voice was cold, like it came from hell. "Do you really think that because Green Ghost likes your abilities, I won't dare to kill you?"

Although the brief exchange was short, Chou Yan knew she was no match for Red Scorpion. She had already given it her all, but couldn't even scratch him. Red Scorpion's two scorpion tail needles had forced her to retreat.

Just as Chou Yan was thinking about how to counter Red Scorpion's poisonous scorpion tail needles, Red Scorpion suddenly launched a full-scale attack! His right leg was his most terrifying weapon, the true source of the scorpion tail needles!

Red Scorpion leaped into the air, and several cold rays shot out, as he pounced down like a mountain pressing down!

Chou Yan was startled and quickly moved her sword, several flashes of light appeared, and the clashing of metal made it hard for her to know how many scorpion tail needles she had blocked. Even so, some needles grazed her ear!

In a panic, Chou Yan quickly stepped to the left to avoid the remaining needles. She knew that even if she were fully recovered, it would be difficult to avoid all the scorpion tail needles. They were too small and too fast!

What could she do against such a dangerous hidden weapon?

Suddenly, Chou Yan's left shoulder was hit by a sharp pain! Focused on dodging the scorpion tail needles, she was struck by Red Scorpion's right palm, which was infused with inner strength. She gasped for breath and quickly retreated several steps. Chou Yan's meridians were disordered, and a sweet taste rose in her mouth.

"Hmph hmph..." Red Scorpion's triumphant laugh echoed. "Everyone knows my scorpion tail needles are extremely poisonous, and those hit will either die or be injured. But they all overlooked my other skills. Hahaha, Fox Venerable, my palm and fist techniques are also not weak."

Chou Yan indeed didn't expect Red Scorpion, known for his hidden weapons, to have such fierce palm techniques. She regretted it, but it was too late. She couldn't hold out against Red Scorpion for more than twenty moves.

"But it's too late for you to realize this, because you're about to become a dead person!" Red Scorpion suddenly closed in again, his fist and palm techniques accompanied by the sound of wind, directly attacking Chou Yan's face.

Chou Yan suppressed the blood in her mouth, continuously retreating and dodging, her flexible sword Longyuan quickly swinging. Although she was at a disadvantage, she didn't give up on attacking.

But Red Scorpion's attacks were like a tide, becoming more and more intense. Each time his right leg lifted, several scorpion tail needles shot out. Chou Yan was left with no choice but to dodge, and still, some needles grazed her skin.

At this point, Chou Yan had no time to think about her own life. She didn't care about her own fate, but she cared about Guo Guo's fate...

Boom! To avoid the scorpion tail needles, Chou Yan was hit by another palm, and she rapidly retreated, leaving a dark mark on the ground. Chou Yan told herself she absolutely couldn't fall. If she fell, she would become a target for Red Scorpion's needles, and she would be shot full of holes!

Chou Yan's mind flashed with one thought: Xu Yun!!! What are you doing!?

Chou Yan almost used all her strength to dodge a dozen scorpion tail needles, and then she was hit by another punch. She loosened her grip, and the flexible sword Longyuan clattered to the ground. This time, she really couldn't hold on, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Martial artists knew that once they couldn't suppress the blood, they would be defeated.

Chou Yan's body was already covered with countless wounds from the scorpion tail needles, and the poison was starting to invade her body. She had already done what no ordinary person could, but finally, her legs gave out, and she could no longer support her body.

Red Scorpion sneered, "So the mighty Fox Venerable is just this? Hmph, you're quite a figure in the underground world, so I'll give you a quick death..."

As he spoke, Red Scorpion leaped into the air, flipping once, and suddenly raised his right leg, shouting, "Silver Needles Everywhere!"

Chou Yan closed her eyes calmly. She knew that this move would turn her into a pincushion. If she died, she only hoped that Guo Guo could survive this disaster: Xu Yun, I believe in you...

...

Xu Yun stood naked in the bathtub, looking at Qin Wan'er, who had just "bumped into" him and wrapped herself in a towel, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Can you give me some clothes?"

Qin Wan'er's eyes were full of killing intent: "..."

"Uh, just the pants would be fine," Xu Yun tried again.

"..." Qin Wan'er still glared at Xu Yun.

"Even the underwear would do," Xu Yun was almost in tears. He couldn't just get up naked, could he?

Qin Wan'er gritted her teeth, "Xu Yun, you pervert! I... I won't let you off!"

"Can
