Having lived together for so many days, Xu Yun had long considered Qiu Yan as someone on his side. No matter if she was once the Venerated Violent Fox with a terrifying reputation, now she was a woman who needed protection, just like Ruan QingShuang and Qin Wan’er and the others!
There were many things that Xu Yun didn’t care about, with the one exception that he had no way of not concerning himself with the people that he protected beside him from suffering harm.
Two men against one woman – of course Xu Yun found it intolerable, and these two guys were both infamous fiendish criminals. Who knows if they had done something unforgivable to Qiu Yan.
“You?!” Flower Monk suddenly cried aloud.
Xu Yun’s eyes had a cold glint. “Three years ago I let you get away. This time if you want to be so lucky to leave, I’m afraid it won’t be so simple.”
Swordscar Clown and Panther Lady each froze, and looked at Flower Monk. “You know each other?”
“The one that forced this poor monk to hide with Boss is this person!” Of course Flower Monk recognized Xu Yun. Back then the one in charge of tracking him down was Xu Yun leading Azure Dragon and Silver Dragon. That year the limelight was strong on Flower Monk, and the ten+ men under his command weren’t of ordinary stock, but in the end all of them were crushed at the hands of three opponents. If not for his quick wits of going into a sewer, perhaps he’d be locked up in some unknown place right now!
Back then Flower Monk had only barely broken through the mental state of a 1st-tier elite, and in these three years with Blue Ghost’s help, he had already consecutively broke through five ranks – absolutely not that disgraced monk from that day.
Swordscar Clown couldn’t help but to become more curious towards Xu Yun – someone that would partic.i.p.ate in that kind of thing was absolutely no ordinary person. Could it be that this person was someone with ties to some mysterious government organization of China? But why would this kind of person be with the Venerated Violent Fox?
All kinds of doubts made Swordscar Clown even more cautious, hoping that he’d best not be someone from a mysterious government organization of China. If he was, he wouldn’t be so easily dealt with.
After all, even Blue Ghost in Suzhou and Hangzhou didn’t dare to easily fight against these people. As long as they didn’t offend China’s interests – didn’t overdo something or destroy the balance of society, and conscientiously stayed in the Underworld, these people wouldn’t act against them.
On this point Swordscar Clown was very clear of – back then he was captured because he violated the rules. For example Qiu Yan, who had fallen from the sky in the Underworld, the authorities wouldn’t carry out an arrest on her, while he and Flower Monk’s crimes had all exceeded the scope of the Underworld. Once they destroyed the balance of society, naturally they would be targeted.
“Back then this poor monk swore that this revenge must be repaid! Today I hadn’t thought that you would actually serve yourself to my door!” Flower Monk relying on three years of cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and by his side he also had the a.s.sistance of two great elites, naturally he was feeling great by ten thousand fathoms.
Panther Lady angrily said, “You’re not a match for him!”
Flower Monk sneered. “Three years ago this poor monk had crossed fists with him. I don’t believe that in three years he can reach the realm of the Ultra Elites! This poor monk will expose his illusion now! Ultra Elite? Hmph, then take a few of this poor monk’s moves and see!”
While speaking Flower Monk already wielded the ma.s.sive steel prayer beads like meteors raining from the sky smas.h.i.+ng towards Xu Yun!
Xu Yun’s rage had long been at the point it could go no further, arising and meeting Flower Monk with an attack! With True Qi protecting his current body he would be not all afraid of the opponent’s heavy weapons, and in the moment when his fist was on the verge of smas.h.i.+ng the metal beads, Xu Yun’s single palm directly struck it away, and taking the chance, one fist carrying violent winds directly struck at the opponent’s chest!
Seeing their a.s.sociate about to be struck, without the slightest hesitation Panther Lady leapt up high, storing up strength in her leg and targeting the back of Xu Yun’s fist. She was very clear, the only way to succeed was to join forces, and if any one of them was easily wounded, it would very likely change the whole situation of the battle.
The force of Xu Yun’s fist was blocked away, and Flower Monk was able to escape the strike. His heart immediately collapsed – he didn’t dare to believe that someone would actually cultivate faster than him in these three years! These years he had taken all kinds of supplementary pills that altogether were enough to buy a flat in Yanjing!
“Flower Monk, if you rush to attack again, then we might not even have our last chance!” Panther Lady coldly said, “I don’t want to die here!”
Xu Yun with his whole body emitting fierce killing intent stood before the three of them. Even though before the three of them he had overwhelming strength, but he was very clear that if three 1st-tier elites combined forces it was very formidable, not to mention that they definitely would be carrying the Yin Yang Pills that Crimson Scorpion took.
Calmly, Swordscar Clown said, “The three of us must join forces. This time Boss had guessed wrong. If we want to live, then we have to use our brains more. Flower Monk, I’m warning you, if you stubbornly cause us any more trouble, I’ll kill you first!”
Flower Monk accepted this line. “Less bulls.h.i.+t with this poor monk! If you have the guts you go!”
Swordscar Clown coldly laughed, “I’ll handle the frontal attacks, the two of you double team the right and left! Remember, the opponent is an Ultra Elite, and you must use all your power to attack!”
Just in that moment, Swordscar Clown suddenly unleashed power, directly charging towards Xu Yun. His two palms flipped out grasping sharp twin daggers – he could see that Xu Yun specialized in close combat, so he took the task of a frontal attack. His weapons were daggers – there’s a saying ‘of one inch of fault, one inch of danger’ – he could contend with Xu Yun with a frontal attack because of three against one. Whether in tactics, or in strength, he would do his part without slack.
Swordscar Clown had never shown his strength since joining Blue Ghost. Obviously this time he decided to have Panther Lady and Flower Monk see what his true strength was!
Two streaks of silver light directly stabbed at Xu Yun’s shoulders, and of course Xu Yun wouldn’t dare to be careless. He was very clear about who the opponent in front of his was – when Xu Yun had just joined the Dragon Fury Special Combat Unit, he had heard of the notoriety of Swordscar Clown. He had once solely destroyed three entire families in TangLan City; a guy that had butchered 164 people had actually escaped from Marty Frank Island Convict’s Prison – it was simply incredible.
The instant the two made contact, both of Xu Yun’s fists turned into palms and quickly blocked the twin stab attack. Swordscar Clown was indeed unlike the ordinary, with such fast and violent strength he was absolutely at the apex of 1st-tier elites.
Flower Monk and Panther Lady were both shocked – it had to be known that their opponent possessed the strength of an Ultra Elite. The two of them certainly didn’t even dare to face him head-on, while Swordscar Clown dared to attack head-on. This kind of awe was absolutely no less than a meteor falling from the heavens.
“Marty Frank Island Convict’s Prison couldn’t even cage you, but today I’m afraid you’ve found the wrong opponent!” Xu Yun said coldly, and the True Qi in his body exploded out. Fists like thunder suddenly struck towards Swordscar Clown’s face.
Swordscar Clown stepped forward deciding according to Xu Yun’s certain attack, so before Xu Yun punched he already had his twin short edges blocking in front of him! One of Xu Yun’s fists struck onto the twin edges, but the fists’force still blew Swordscar Clown’s hair fluttering.
Obviously, braving death to block this attack he didn’t relax at all, and seeing Xu Yun’s fist wound-less, feeling shocked inside he retreated.
And by now Panther Lady and Flower Monk were no longer wasting the chance – Panther Lady changed her palms to eagle claws, her palm piercing through toward Xu Yun’s left side, while Flower Monk’s pure steel prayer beads violently struck like artillery to Xu Yun’s right side!
With elites striking on two sides, even if Xu Yun had True Qi protecting his body, he didn’t dare to rashly take them. Quickly stepping back to evade, two attacks carrying ma.s.sive internal power blasted the empty air, creating a thunderous sound.
Having been hit by the soul-scattering needle, Qiu Yan’s brow lightly scrunched, seeming to have finally had a bit of consciousness.
Just in the instant Xu Yun blocked both Panther Lady and Flower Monk’s pincer attack, the short edges in Swordscar Clown’s hands were like shooting stars, switching back and forth, directly striking head-on stabbing towards Xu Yun’s face.
Xu Yun reacted by raising his fist to block it away, and one striking with great and heavy power – a firm and ferocious fist crunched onto Swordscar Clown’s chest!
A solid strike to shake the heavens! Swordscar Clown sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood, his body directly thrown out several meters away.
Panther Lady was stunned – if Swordscar Clown was injured, then she and Flower Monk were definitely not a match for their opponent. Panicking she already urgently took out the Yin Yang Pill from her pocket. To save her own life, then perhaps she could only draw on the help of Forbidden Medicine.
However, Swordscar Clown raised his hand to stop her actions. He coughed out the blood from his mouth; from the ground he stood up with a cold laugh. “We’ve won.”
Won? Panther Lady completely didn’t understand. Flower Monk even further thought that Swordscar had gone insane – he was already spitting up blood, and still talking about winning?
Xu Yun’s brow suddenly furrowed, a burst of fierce dizziness made him alarmed inside. So just now Swordscar Clown’s move was completely a set-up, and being hit by an attack was also something he long prepared for.
All of this was for the instant that he was about to be hit, to shoot soul-scattering needles at himself!
Xu Yun hadn’t thought that he would be careless here. Earlier he was only focused on the pincer attack from two sides and the frontal stabbing attack, completely not thinking that Swordscar Clown would do such a trick to him.
Swordscar Clown relied on all of the internal strength in his body to ensure that his body wouldn’t suffer from tremendous damage, but indeed this had exhausted too much of his internal strength. If Xu Yun came again with such a fist, then perhaps he would truly just die.
Xu Yun finally had no way of resisting the needle attack of the dizzying soul-scattering medicine. His eyes went dark and he fell to the floor.
Panther Lady followed Xu Yun’s fall and completely relaxed. The terror on Flower Monk’s face began to slowly change into a sinister smile.
Swordscar Clown put all his effort into calming the shaking chaos of his mental state after being struck by Xu Yun. To the two of them he said, “Still not hurrying to go tie him up? Do you still want him to wake up?”
At the moment Panther Lady and Flower Monk saw Swordscar Clown in a new light. To actually dare to collide with an Ultra Elite head-on showed that his strength was not ordinary, and to be able to take one of Xu Yun’s fists and still be able to stand, shocked Flower Monk even more. It had to be known, if not because of Panther Lady’s earlier rescue, he would’ve been hit by Xu Yun’s fist, and likely would definitely be unable to stand.
So the two of them went along with Swordscar Clown’s orders.
“Your opponent has now changed to us.”
Suddenly emitting from behind them, killing intent made the three of them each stiffen. Swordscar Clown quickly turned around, and in one glance could see two silhouettes like ghosts suddenly appearing far away.
A man and a woman appeared from the night behind them. The woman stepped forward and fiercely pinched Qiu Yan on her Human Center Meridian in the middle of her upper lip. Qiu Yan only felt a burst of clarity flowing through her head, and her entire body instantly awakened. This was the most forceful means of awakening from soul-scattering needles.
