Ponytail’s gaze suddenly shot at Xu Yun like lightning, and she threateningly and lovably accused, “If you want trouble for yourself, then don’t blame my hands for being ruthless.”
Of course Xu Yun could feel Ponytail’s suddenly exploding and threatening aura, and his eyes flashed with something unfathomable. This girl’s ability truly wasn’t small – just based on this aura alone, Xu Yun could be sure that her power at the very least was comparable to a fully recovered Qiu Yan.
A 1st-tier elite – the corner of Xu Yun’s mouth slightly smiled. No wonder she could use the hidden weapons technique, Purple Lightning Pierces Clouds; because she was truly someone that came from that place.
Even though Xu Yun in his heart was secretly happy that they could meet, but was slightly unhappy that it was this Ponytail that he didn’t recognize. He also completely couldn’t figure out when there was a woman.
He was indeed too weak in romantic luck. He was in that place for twenty years and hadn’t even seen a woman’s hair, and having left for less than a year, they now have a beautiful woman.
“Oh d.a.m.n! Dazzling eh?” Xu Yun secretly thought. Suddenly he felt a bit clueless – it’s impossible for Dragon Fury to have a woman. Could it be that he himself was wrong? After coming back to his senses, all around Xu Yun’s body suddenly flooded with protective True Qi, alertly looking at Ponytail.
Ponytail saw her opponent locking his gaze on her, and on her face were ripples as she discerned the situation’s fluctuating changes. Inside she was suspicious of his reaction. When Xu Yun’s gaze alertly looked at her, she quickly pulled back her malice, using all of her strength to directly use a charge attack at Xu Yun.
Xu Yun easily slanted his body. Ponytail’s punch carrying fierce winds directly struck air, but she turned and swept a whipping leg with her extremely sharp reactions, and Xu Yun subconsciously stretched his hand to block it. Even though Ponytail’s back exposed extremely large weak points, but he still didn’t attack.
Ponytail’s face was full of surprise. Just now her full-power internal strength sweep was so easily blocked by this person, such that it made her stare in surprise. It felt like she had just kicked against cotton even though her leg contained internal energy to injure someone, but everything was dissolved all the same.
Just who was her opponent?! Ponytail obviously didn’t even dare to think her opponent’s realm was higher than her’s, and was even higher by a lot!
Young people just entering into the 1st-tier elite realm would all feel that they were the greatest in the world. A plent.i.tude of internal strength made them feel they were unconquerable. After they encountered an Ultra Elite, this kind of feeling would disappear.
Back when Xu Yun had also gone through this kind of not knowing how high heaven was, he that had just stepped in as a 1st-tier elite at eighteen years old had also thought there was no worthy opponent for him under Heaven. But his honored master very quickly let him know how infinitesimally small he was – in his very first mission, Xu Yun nearly lost his life to the Yellow Springs.
Obviously, Ponytail was the same as Xu Yun back then, completely thinking that she could do any kind of important task, but only after attacking did she discover how insignificant she was.
Xu Yun’s feet suddenly used exquisite steps, and his figure turned and disappeared from in front of Ponytail. Ponytail was shocked to the heart, and without waiting for her to reaction, Xu Yun’s voice sounded out in her ear, “You can’t beat me.”
Ponytail swiftly turned and shot out a punch, but Xu Yun only left a blur, again disappearing from in front of her.
Shock!
Ponytail had never come across this kind of opponent that didn’t counterattack. Facing overwhelming disadvantage, she completely had no power to fix her desperation.
This was her very first mission and she had fully prepared herself to face Crimson Scorpion, but Crimson Scorpion’s power was also in the 1st-tier. And now it was very clear her opponent definitely was in the cla.s.s higher than the 1st-tier elites – the Ultra Elites!
“Ahhh!” Ponytail suddenly cried out in surprise, and both her hands suddenly were pulled behind her back. No matter how she struggled she couldn’t escape the fate that Xu Yun controlled.
Xu Yun lightly laughed then pushed Ponytail away, his face still having that calmness. “I already said you lost. Tell me who you are, and I won’t kill you.”
Ponytail coldly laughed, “In your dreams!”
Just as her words dropped, she again got up and went forward. Even though she knew she didn’t have the slightest chance of winning, she actually still chose to fight! She would rather die in battle than to even reveal half a word about her ident.i.ty.
When a person is in desperation, the strength they erupt with is indeed extraordinary. Xu Yun didn’t dare to underestimate her, seriously facing Ponytail’s earth-shattering wind palms striking again and again!
Ponytail’s body moved like a swimming dragon, her palms rolling like eagles; penetrating, stabbing, chopping, lifting, crossing, striking, capturing – each move was a lethal move that wanted to kill. That burst of biting cold from her suddenly exploded with endless killing intent – though seemingly like a pure and sunny girl, but instantly she turned into a cold-hearted terror.
Bagua Swimming Dragon Palm!
Xu Yun felt surprise – she could actually use this palm technique!
Bagua Swimming Dragon Palm was a type of both palm and fist technique with steps that changed unpredictably. The palm techniques faced the four cardinal directions and criss-crossed with the four intercardinal directions, just like the eight trigram diagram in the Book of Changes.
This kind of palm technique necessitated martial arts and internal arts to become one. If one did not have a good base of internal strength, then they could not attain the finer aspects lying within this palm technique.
Xu Yun was surprised not because Ponytail could use the palm technique, but rather that back then when Yin Long was alive, he specialized in this palm technique…..
But even if Ponytail was staking all of her power, it still had no way of shaking Xu Yun in the slightest; after all the difference in strength was obvious. At the moment even if she could hit Xu Yun, it was very difficult for her to injure he that had True Qi protecting his body.
Xu Yun was as fast as lightning, with both hands like metal claws he held Ponytail’s two palms still, directly cras.h.i.+ng and pressing her onto a thick tree trunk behind her.
Ponytail’s originally fierce bearing instantly crumbled. The kind of silent majesty of Xu Yun simply made all of her anger melt into nothingness. No matter how she struggled, she had no way of breaking out in the slightest.
Xu Yun’s face slowly went lower, such that his nose nearly touched Ponytail’s nose. “Bagua Swimming Dragon is pretty good, too bad you’re still a bit too inexperienced.”
Ponytail felt a great shock – why would this person know the name of her palm technique!
Outside, people called this palm technique as the Swimming Body Bagua, and only within Dragon Fury was it called Bagua Swimming Dragon. The palm technique would go through ten+ years of improvement under the lens of a master, absolutely not something an ordinary person could recognize.
“How do you know?” The killing intent in Ponytail’s eyes became clearer than before.
“Three forms, three forces; three voids, three unities; three circles, three peaks; three bindings, three swifts.” Xu Yun indifferently said the Bagua Swimming Dragon’s eight elements. “You only know the first six, but haven’t been able to get the last two.”
Ponytail’s eyes flashed with surprise. “You…..just who are you!”
“Three Bindings; that is, the Qi needs to bind, the shoulders need to bind, and the two elbows need to bind. The Three Swifts; that is, your mind needs to be swift, your eyes need to be swift, and your palms need to be swift.” Xu Yun didn’t answer Ponytail’s question, continuing to talk to himself. “If you can’t do it, then you might as well give up this palm technique.”
If you can’t do it, then give it up!
Besides surprise, Ponytail was still left with more surprise – this person in front of her had actually said the same words as the greatly respected master all over, w.a.n.g Yi!
“Tsk tsk tsk, very fragrant.” Xu Yun sniffed for a bit, and couldn’t help but to praise. There are some women who have a very special scent of their bodies, making the people who smell them have a unique feeling. Obviously, in front of him, this woman was one such woman.
Ponytail felt shocked, facing this man with his face and lips nearly pasted to her own mouth, she became vigorously angered. This person actually had frivolous thoughts in the middle of battle! Ponytail suddenly thought of something, immediately raising her knee!
Oh sh*t!
Xu Yun had gotten carried away, and simply took a vicious. .h.i.t. This lift to the nuts wasn’t just playing around – if his body didn’t have True Qi protecting it and if it wasn’t done right he would die without sons! This girl was actually so indecent that even though he hadn’t done anything to her, she would go so far as to use such a ruthless move!
Ponytail took the opportunity to break out of Xu Yun’s control. Right now as long as she had a pathway she could flee, she would flee, because she completely wasn’t a match to this person before her!
Suddenly all of the street lights went off, and Xu Yun knew it was past 12:00am.
Taking advantage of the instant of darkness, Ponytail directly leapt high into the air. She already regretted her arbitrary actions. Even though at noon she had earnestly promised Qing Long that she wouldn’t again move without permission, but in the instant Qing Long left to go investigate Crimson Scorpion, she couldn’t help but to go to the panacea restaurant.
At night she finally waited for the person she wanted to wait for to appear, but her opponent had such an immense power into a frightening realm that without even mentioning herself, perhaps if Qing Long had come, even with the two of them combined it would be difficult to say if they would be a match.
After all, in between the existences of Ultra Elites and 1st-tier elites there was a genuine and significant change in essence. Even though 1st-tier elites had already cleared the meridians of their entire body, and had layered their strength into internal strength, it had only reached its highest point. But an Ultra Elite had cleared all of their Acupoints, and their internal strength transformed into the existence of protective True Qi.
But how would Xu Yun let her go? Just in the instant Ponytail leapt up, Xu Yun also closely followed her, jumping up to her back and giving a bear hug and in one move he subdued Ponytail that wanted to flee. Solidly in Xu Yun’s hug, Ponytail’s whole body fundamentally didn’t have the strength to struggle free.
Especially soft, and quite flexible…..Xu Yun sensed the sensations under one hand, and couldn’t help but to praise.
Suddenly, a hint of a blue light flashed in the distance, directly attacking towards Xu Yun.
Xu Yun instantly felt a powerful killing aura. This kind of killing intent wasn’t like Ponytail – only a person that had experienced brushes with life and death countless times could they have this kind of ruthless killing intent.
Blue light flashed like lightning attacking directly at Xu Yun!
Xu Yun pushed away Ponytail, quickly stepping aside backwards. He wasn’t stupid enough to take that strike just now head-on.
After all, in a nearly pitch black night, for a dagger to still be able to s.h.i.+ne, it absolutely was not a cold weapon. And for a person to be able to attack so accurately in the night, they absolutely couldn’t be an ordinary elite.
Xu Yun was very sure that this guy’s skill compared to Crimson Scorpion was not to par.
In the darkness was a tall and strong figure, and the dagger in his hand under the faint light of night rippled with blue. Xu Yun trembled inside. How wouldn’t he be able to recognize this dagger? The King of Cold Weapons – the Short Edge Autumn Waters!
The tall and strong Young Man who had just used all his might to a.s.sa.s.sinate Xu Yun didn’t give him the slightest chance for a breather, and tightly followed with a heart-piercing thrust again.
Such a h.e.l.lish thrust! Xu Yun was amazed inside and quickly evaded, even if he had True Qi protecting his body, if he took one of those, he would have no fate but to be lying on the floor.
Seeing the chaotic battle, Qiu Yan suddenly came out from the second floor of the panacea restaurant. With the Dragon Abyssal Blade in her hand, she split the night sky; a single swallow flying straight ahead, blocking away the fierce das.h.i.+ng thrust of that dagger.
Xu Yun’s head hummed for a bit and ached – this thing was becoming more and more troublesome, just like a tangled mess.
