Chapter 75 - Evil Technique

In the eyes of Xue Yuesha, Qi Ying was like a panicked rabbit whose defense was filled with holes. He had expended all of his energy by spamming his battle techniques, and it would be a simple task to kill him.

Whoosh!

Xue Yuesha stepped forward and threw a feint to bypass the black-robed guards and Lu You. At the same time, he raised his crimson scimitar and brought it down in one violent motion!

Qi Ying suddenly raised his left hand and silver light flashed past!

Clang!

The scimitar struck his glove, and sparks flew through the air!

“Ha!”

If things continued like that, Xue Yuesha was going to be sucked dry. Thus, he let loose a loud roar and unleashed all of his power to spur his Battle Spirit into action.

Whoosh!

Dazzling light erupted from the Blood Moon behind him.

The remaining Spiritual Energy within his body immediately erupted forth like an earth-shattering wave.

Right at that moment, Xue Yuesha suddenly noticed an almost imperceptible shadow flying through the air, traveling directly toward his throat!

He wanted to evade, but he didn’t have any energy left that could support him!

Whoosh!

An extremely thin blade passed through Xue Yuesha’s head.

Bam!

His head then exploded like a watermelon.

Intracranial fluids splattered in all directions while a fountain of blood gushed forth!

“Argh!”

The painful swelling sensation in Qi Ying’s body suddenly disappeared, and he exclaimed involuntarily with relief.

Whoosh!

A white-robed figure suddenly fell from the sky under the bright moonlight!

Xue Yuesha?!”

Master Thirteen’s brows furrowed at the sight of the headless body.

Someone had hired the most notorious assassin in the surrounding counties!

Even if he were the one that had been attacked, it would have been a very perilous situation for him.

Master Thirteen looked around at everyone and asked, “What happened? And Qi Ying, are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Qi Ying replied as he panted heavily.

The remaining three black-robed guards, Lu You, and Lu Feifei all gathered around.

The black-robed guard with a severed forearm wore a grief-stricken expression on his face. “We were suddenly attacked by Xue Yuesha… and Brother Three has passed away!”

“What?!” Master Thirteen glanced at the black-robed corpse on the ground, and a hint of sorrow also appeared in his eyes. He strode over to him and laid a gentle hand on his body.

“Farewell, Black Three.”

The four black-robed guards were all powerful beings that he had subdued over the years in the Celestial River County.

All of them shared a strong relationship.

As such, the death of one of them must have been a heavy blow to the others.

Lu You said in a grim voice, “Xue Yuesha had not appeared for a long time… Who would have thought that we would encounter him today… We were caught completely off guard and were no match for him.”

Master Thirteen mused, “Looking at the entire Celestial River County, there is only one power capable of contacting Xue Yuesha, and are willing to pay the price for him to assassinate us; it must be the Duan family!”

Flames of fury were ignited in everyone’s eyes upon hearing that.

The Duan family was essentially handing out a declaration of war!

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely grave.

Yan Thirteen paused momentarily before continuing, “Let’s go back. Tomorrow is a very important day. We must avenge Black Three, but we must do it in a smart way… Qi Ying, what are you doing?”

“Nothing.” Qi Ying hurriedly stood up from beside Xue Yuesha’s body, and he was holding a red ring in his hand as he replied, “I found a spatial ring on Xue Yuesha’s body. There seems to be quite a lot of treasures inside.”

“By the way, how did you guys restrict Xue Yuesha just then?” Master Thirteen turned to Qi Ying.

When he had arrived, he clearly saw that Xue Yuesha was already immobilized, which was why he was able to kill him so easily.

“I’m not sure.”

Qi Ying shrugged and played dumb. He refrained from telling everyone about the newly discovered secret of his left arm.

“Oh… Alright then… Let’s go back! We’ll discuss everything further when we get back.”

Master Thirteen didn’t insist on forcing an answer out of Qi Ying.

He knew that Qi Ying must have been keeping some secrets.

After all, he was raised by such a powerful being… How could he not have some trump cards that would save him in dire situations?

Everyone quickly buried the bodies of Black Three and Xue Yuesha.

The horse-drawn carriage had been destroyed, and the legs of the horses had been broken. Thus, the two relatively unscathed black-robed guards carried the unconscious Lu Zuo, while Lu You carried Lu Feifei, and Master Thirteen carried Qi Ying. They quickly traversed through the forest to the nearby Myriad Spring Brothel for some rest and recuperation.
