How could Zhong Minyan let him escape? The sword light gathered in his hand, shot out, and hit the rock in front of the dark figure – the man stopped without hesitation and leaped towards the back of the mountain.

The two people had a brief glimpse of his profile, and were struck by the fact that he was small and rickety, and was not a man, but more like a monkey, using both his arms and legs to move on the ground.

“Ruo Yu!” The two of them, Zhong Min Yan and Ling Long, rushed after him, hoping that the two men behind them can stop him.

Rou Yu and Lu Yanran were already waiting for them. As soon as they see the shadow fleeing, Ruo Yu immediately grabs a handful of marbles, infused then with his qi and shoots them out with all his strength. As soon as his feet moved, he only heard a few buzzing sounds, and the marbles nailed into the hard rock.

The man knew he had met a formidable opponent and was afraid he would not be able to escape, so he stopped and turned his head to look towards them.

Zhong Minyan and Ling Long just rushed over. They met up with each other and saw that the man was on the rock, no longer moving. They couldn’t help but wonder, “Did you take him down?”

Rou Yu shook his head, “Be cautious! I’m afraid it’s a fraud!”

In the midst of the conversation, the smoke has dissipated, and the man’s face has become clear in the moonlight. He is a man with a concave forehead and a concave mouth, with eyes as large as copper bells[1], and a face that seems to be covered with scars. Suddenly, he looked almost like a ghost, especially in the middle of the night. The face was so scarred that Ling Long and Lu Yanran, these two girls, felt scared.

Zhong Minyan also trembled in his heart, but swung his sword, pointed directly at him, and sternly said, “Who are you? Why control the demons to cause trouble and endanger the nearby residents?”

The man did not say anything, but only cackled twice, his voice sharp and dry, like a night owl.

The two girls shuddered at the sound of his laughter, and then he suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Lu Yanran! When she saw this strange man approaching, the scars on his face were twisted and intertwined, and the moonlight was particularly eerie, so she was so shocked that her body froze and the sword in her hand could not be wielded.

The man opened his hands, ten nails as black as ink, all two or three inches long, She did not know if they were covered with poison, a hand towards her face. If she is hit, she will be disfigured.

Lu Yanran froze with fright. Zhong Min Yan and Rou Yu too far away to rescue in time. The only thing she could hear was a cracking sound and a flash of bright golden light, Ling Long inserted the sword in-between, blocking the ten terrible nails for her.

“What are you staring at at such a time! You want to die?”

She shouted and pushed him away with a backhand sword, just as Zhong Min Yan and Ruo Yu arrived and fought with him. The man’s body is strange and he is not sure what kind of martial arts he is using, but his movements are more like those of a wild animal. It didn’t seem to follow any rules, but the moves were simple and fatal. Linglong wanted to help, but when she turned around, she saw that Lu Yanran’s face was pale and she was still in a state of shock, so she had to drag her away from him to avoid being hurt for no reason.

“…You…”Lu Yanran was still in a state of shock and looked at Ling Long with a complicated look. “Thanks…thank you.”

Ling Long waved her hand: “Just don’t drag your feet, thank you for nothing!”

After saying so, she raises her sword and chases after him, and together with Zhong Minyan and the others, traps the strange man under the light of the sword, not allowing him to escape.

Lu Yanran purses her lips and tries to argue with her in annoyance, just as she did before, but is unable to say anything. She knew that she was wrong, and was given a favour for nothing. She also makes her sword fly away, putting aside her mean-spirited arguments and never making any more trouble.

The strange man saw the four of them attacking together and knew it was bad. He was afraid that after a few more moves, they would be forced to use the cultivators magic, and then he won’t be able to escape from the sky. It just so happened that the sword in Ling Long’s hand flicked out, the golden light is brighter than the moonlight, but it’s a deadly light kills people without seeing blood.

When he saw Ling Long’s sword swing out, there was a tremble in his ribs. He immediately gritted his teeth and greeted her instead of retreating. A strange face rushed towards her and startled Ling Long. The sword in her hand almost fell down.

However, the golden light still sliced off the man’s right arm, and the sound of flesh and bone separating made everyone’s teeth sore. The blood spurted out like water from a spring. Without making a sound, he lowered his body to the ground and escaped while Ling Long was dazed.

“Not good!” Rou Yu yelled, raised his hand and sending out a dozen iron marbles to try to stop him. However, the man, who was wounded, was even quicker. He flipped over a few rocks like a rabbot and fell down. The iron marbles only hit the rock behind him, and with the splashing of the rock fragments, he jumped into a hold and disappeared.

“Do you want to chase him?” Rou Yu asked Zhong Min Yan.

He frowned at the nearby caves, but he was afraid that they were all connected. But if we just give up, it would be like giving up everything we have achieved. He clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice, “After them! We must catch him today!”

After being rescued by Ling Long, Lu Yanran, who had been silent since then, suddenly whispered, “I have a way to make him stop running around.”

After saying that, she raised the sword in her hand and closed her eyes to recite a spell. It took her half a column of incense to finish her recitation, but when she finished, she saw the sword shining with a lovely blue light. With a twist of her wrist, she pointed the tip of her sword towards the dozen or so cave entrances around her, and all of them were covered with a layer of light, thin and bright.

Rou Yu was surprised, “Miss Lu knew how to make a sword net. Fu Yu Island’s martial arts is really something!”

Lu Yanran expended great effort. It was very exhausting, and her forehead was full of sweat. She was so proud of herself when she heard him say that, “It’s not much, I only know a few things. But it’s enough for him to spend some time to get out of the hole. I’m going to go after him and try to catch the turtle in a jar.”

Ling Long had looked down on her, thinking she’s just a smart-ass who hides behind men, but she’s impressed by her skill. She was a little admiring when she saw such a tactic. She has always been a straight-forward person. “What a great skill! Teach me next time, too?”

Lu Yanran now truly smiled sweetly and snorted, “Let’s see how qualified you are, savage woman.”

“Bah! You’re the girl monkey!

Ling Long rolls her eyes, and then they both laugh at the same time, feeling embarrassed. They are both embarrassed. These changes have unwittingly made them feel less hostile and more agreeable to each other.

The two men were relieved to see that the women had finally stopped fighting and the clouds had cleared.

Zhong Minyan said, “Let’s go, don’t let him run away again!”

At the moment, everyone flew towards the cave where the man dashed into. Lu Yanran stayed at the end and set up a sword net at the entrance of the cave, then she ran towards the deep part of the cave with confidence.

The cave is damp and dark, and after a few steps, it becomes dark and invisible. The other hand held the sword tightly, and slowly walked forward. Zhong Minyan lit a small torch, holding the sword tightly in his other hand, fully guarded, and walked forward slowly.

After walking for a while, Lu Yanran suddenly said softly, “Wait…Listen! There’s a noise over there!”

The four of them listened with bated breath in the direction she was pointing, and all they could feel was the sound of someone hitting the wall with force, but the sound was very faint, if it weren’t for them gathering in the hold, it would be inaudible.

“What?” Linglong didn’t react.

Lu Yanran smiled and said, “The old turtle has taken the bait! He must have been trying to get out this time, but he ran into a sword net. Let’s go!”

Linglong is a bit skeptical, not knowing how powerful her sword net will be. It looks thin, and it would be bad if it was broken.

The four of them run in a twisted manner in the cave, but the further inside the cave, the more spacious it is, and the more forks there are. After running for two columns of incense, they feel a light in the cave, and must be nearing the entrance.

Zhong Minyan put his hand on the torch and extinguished the fire. Only the sound of the collision became louder and louder in their ears, and the sound of cursing was mixed in. The man must have been so desperate to get out of the cave that he must have been cursing his mother.

He shouted, “Still want to run?” Striding forward he rushed up, and saw the man hurriedly hitting the entrance of the hole. The invisible sword-qi net looked weak, but it was so hard that it could not be broken open by any means.

The man saw them catching up, but the cave was so narrow that he had no way to escape, so he leaned against the rock wall and didn’t move.
