Chapter 18

In the deep night, there was the disturbing sound of a footstep on the roof top. Even though this man already had great control over his breathing, it still didn’t escape Xu Yun’s ears. Very quickly, another footstep also sounded. It was very graceful, yet carried a hint of heaviness like a serious injury.

At first, Xu Yun didn’t know who it was, but later decided this was definitely Qiu Yan without mistake.

The steps sounded here and there, two people seemed to be fighting. Suddenly, the latter’s footsteps repeatedly retreated, seemingly having tasted some bad luck.

It seemed like tonight another little show was playing out. Suddenly the two shadows on the roof stopped moving. In an instant, all of the peaceful air changed to make people feel oppression.

Xu Yun searched for pants on his bed, on top he put on a tank-top, and on pins and needles, he slipped over. Putting on a pair of flip flops, he directly opened the window and jumped out.  He tip-toed lightly on the window sill, and with a flash his shadow skillfully directly went up to the upstairs. The entire movement was silent.

Hidden in the shadows, with a glance Xu Yun saw the moonlight shone that hint of cold brightness.

With the Dragon Abyssal supple blade between Qiu Yan’s fingers, she stood at the panacea restaurant’s roof’s south side. Her body flooded out a weak, irregular wind of thick and severe murderous aura! Along with the Dragon Abyssal unsheathed, the murderous aura was more and more suffocating.

She couldn’t figure out how the enemy side’s people found them so quickly.  The clash just now’s nearly squandered all of her physical strength.

At the north side rooftop stood a seven-foot big guy. He was tall with a powerful body that emitted a dense killing intent, with eyes as fierce as a beast. The blade wound on his face under the moonlight looked especially frightening!

“Never would’ve thought you would really be hiding at such a small, unknown city! Looks like my luck is good. They’re looking so hard, they’re wearing down metal shoes, leaving no place un-hunted. But I, Leopard, besides coming, put no labor in!” This was that man that once appeared at w.a.n.g ShunXi’s residence called Leopard.

Leopard’s face was ferociously evil, with the wound on his face would’ve made people horrified. “Qiu Yan, I advise you to obediently allow yourself to be captured!”

Qiu Yan, with her face like ice, scoffed and disdainfully replied, “Leopard, on what basis do you dare to challenge in front of me? You really are a fool that doesn’t know the line between life and death!”

Even though she said that, in fact Qiu Yan very clearly understood that right now she had more inadequacies. If it wasn’t for Leopard treating her with cautiousness, perhaps she would’ve already been defeated during that last clas.h.!.+

“HahHahHah! Qiu Yan, you still think you’re that unreachable, venerated Violent Fox from back then?” Leopard’s face savagely smiled. “Don’t think I don’t know your situation. Even if I don’t move on you today, how many days can you live! That’s not as good as obediently coming with me to be a play-thing for our boss. Who knows, maybe there will be a big display of mercy and internal techniques will be used to let you struggle at death’s door for a few more days!”

Qiu Yan’s eyes flashed with a slight cold light, right now she really wanted to settle this rambling fellow with one strike!

But her body’s condition told her that she simply couldn’t one-shot kill! If she couldn’t one-shot him, she could completely be exhausted of her energy by this 2nd-tier elite!

Xu Yun frowned a bit, it seemed that in the combat just now, Qiu Yan’s body had already exceeded her limits. If she kept continuing like this, she would definitely die before this elite!

“Qiu Yan even though I, Leopard, only just entered the 2nd Realm of elites but you alone, the venerated Fox who suffered injury, I’m afraid you will have it hard enduring me! I also want to see how long you can persist for!” Leopard suddenly laughed coldly, his fist wrap suddenly exposed 3 silvery glints –  the exposed objects were claw weapons!  Leopard’s moniker perhaps came from this.

Instantly, Leopard’s body burst forth an enormous killing aura! His entire person screamed, tearing apart the tranquility of the night sky, charging directly for Qiu Yan!

Pa-!

A wedged foot carrying flip flops with a dense strong gale suddenly flew out, stiffly smas.h.i.+ng into Leopard’s face, lightly preventing Leopard’s formidable attack!

“Who!?” Leopard took advantage to roll backwards, his entire body instantly went to 100% alert. The sense of crisis flashed, flooding his entire body!

Only seeing Xu Yun lifting his leg, standing like a golden chicken on the edge of the roof with a joking expression. Smiling he said, “I’m sorry heh, I got sweaty feet and slipped a bit. I wasn’t careful and flung it out.”.

Leopard’s heart clenched! This was simply a huge insult! He focused and sensed the young guy in front of him. He wasn’t half his fighting power! Where did this charging idiot come from!

“You’re courting death-!” Leopard’s face shone savagely and fiercely. One swipe of an ordinary person’s flip-flop foot and he fell smas.h.i.+ng on his face –  that could definitely never be forgiven! His entire body leapt into the air, just like a hungry wolf charging to pounce and feed on Xu Yun!

Xu Yun was indifferent however, still standing like a golden chicken in his original place. In the split second that Leopard pounced down, from inside Xu Yun suddenly burst out a powerful killing aura, boiling like the Yangze, endless and never stopping!

Leopard was instantly shocked! He only heard a second of *pi-li-pa-la*! All of the sharp blades on his hands were broken by Xu Yun’s two fingers!

Only that face to face with him, Leopard lost his proud weapon. Looking at the broken blades on his hand, inside Leopard gave a lamenting hiss. This kid was definitely not a normal person! He was actually able to pinch off his fine steel-forged fist blades!

“I’d like to see how a cat without claws can catch someone.” Xu Yun had a ridiculing smile, and in the smile a murderous aura was faintly discernible.

Leopard completely didn’t think that this person was unexpectedly also an elite, and in fact was an elite completely not weak compared to himself! Inside he flashed with a moment of indescribable panic. He really never thought that the venerated Violent Fox would actually have such powerful aid!

At the instant Leopard was about to go to the G.o.ds, Xu Yun used his bare foot and yelled out *ada!* spectacularly stomping directly down! That heel directly attacked the root of the problem, like an ordinary metal hammer ruthlessly smas.h.i.+ng down on Leopard’s nose!

Instantly, Leopard’s nasal bone ruptured ivory burst open, his face a whirlwind of blood! But he is after all also a formidable 2nd-tier elite. Immediately, he rapidly put out his response! Two continuous backflips escaped out of Xu Yun’s attack range!

He very clearly understood when elites were fighting, it was very dangerous. The possibility for winning today was minuscule!

Hogging all the merit was already impossible, so the first thing he had to do was protect his life, then call for reinforcements!  He secretly reached into his pocket and took out a dark red chip, and he noiselessly threw it into a corner of the panacea restaurant’s roof.

However, Leopard seemed to forget that this rooftop had another existence!

Also that talented person was the most dangerous existence! Even if she was already seriously injured and on death’s doorstep, she would always look for the most timely moment to kill!

Suddenly, a cold light flashed through the night sky, just like if the Heavenly Palace smashed down a bolt of lightning.  The Underworld’s dignified 2nd-tier elite Leopard’s neck was instantly torn open by the Dragon Abyssal supple blade – together with a mouth of blood, bright blood instantly ruptured out of the broken skin spraying out!

Before dying, Leopard’s dying gaze fell on that dark red chip he tossed into the corner. In his eyes revealed a type of madness and vengefulness….

How could a 2nd-tier elite withstand Qiu Yan’s and Xu Yun’s joint attack!

Qiu Yan killing people was in all honestly too fearless. Seeing it Xu Yun frowned – too cold blooded.

Xu Yun’s two legs jumped and found their slippers. Using his hands to draw a cross on his chest, he chanted, “Amitabha, pa.s.s away early, and reincarnate early. If you have grudges repay grudges, and if you have grievances repay grievances. It is not my affair.”

Qiu Yan didn’t bother at all with Xu Yun’s death oration, she never believed in ghosts or G.o.ds. If there really were vengeful ghosts, then in reality the ones that would look for her for revenge would be too many.

Even though today was a new 2nd-tier elite, but it was sufficient to make Qiu Yan feel great pressure and danger! She never would’ve thought that the opposing side would so quickly investigate and pursue to here. She really didn’t know at the next step what kind of person would come next.

Even though Qiu Yan already broke through the elite 1st-tier Realm, but right now with the situation with her body, even a 2nd-tier elite was very difficult to defend against.

Today, if it wasn’t for Xu Yun acting to help her, Qiu Yan would’ve been exhausted of her energy and then perished.

Thinking of that, Qiu Yan couldn’t help but feel alarmed. She didn’t think that Xu Yun was a profound elite, hidden and unexposed.

“Just like this, do you still want to protect GuoGuo alone?” Xu Yun threw out a merciless question to this woman.

Thinking of the innocent and unaffected GuoGuo inside the panacea restaurant, from the bottom of Qiu Yan’s heart rose a portion of hard to control sentiment. She even thought about ending her own life! Then she wouldn’t have to think about her confusion right now.

“Didn’t I say this to you before, the panacea restaurant was looking for a waitress with a monthly salary of 1000 that covers eating, covers living, and covers healing – why didn’t you believe it?” Xu Yun laughed. “I gave you medicine before didn’t I?”

Qiu Yan looked at Xu Yun, her gaze already didn’t have the cold severeness, instead it was full of curiosity and uncertainty. “Who are you exactly?”

“Didn’t I already tell you? Just a betrayed and wretched little bug.” Xu Yun raised his eyebrows. He didn’t want to bring up things from the past – that would make his violent energies soar rapidly and be hard to control.

“Then how do you have the Nine Treasures Revival Pills?!” Qiu Yan today could confront a 2nd-cla.s.s elite like Leopard all because she relied on yesterday’s pill’s healing power. If not for the Nine Treasures Revival Pills, then today forget about killing anyone, perhaps she wouldn’t even have any strength to defend against an ordinary attack.

Xu Yun was surprised for a moment, “You’re talking about that medicine made from Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng, lingzhi mushroom, Chinese eaglewood, gecko, dragon’s blood sap, antelope horns, antlers and pit viper?”

“Correct.” Qiu Yan expression was even more confused, this guy was unexpectedly able to say the nine treasures inside of the pill, but didn’t know the name of the medicine?

“I call that thing Powerful Pill.” Xu Yun said indifferently. To him, that thing wasn’t considered any kind of treasure – as long as you had the ingredients, you could make as much as you want. “How was it, that thing had a bit of use right?”

Qiu Yan took a breath of cool air. In the Underworld Nine Treasures Revival Pills could be sold for millions in price, but from this dude’s mouth it was just an ordinary pill! Who the h.e.l.l was he!?

Qiu Yan seemed to have understood that this man in front of her obviously had more secrets than she did. She understood other people’s desires to not say much about their situation, or maybe right now Qiu Yan felt exceptionally grateful to Xu Yun. She actually opened her mouth and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. From now on we can be considered neighbors.” Xu Yun shrugged.

Qiu Yan didn’t say anything more, she touched the Dragon Abyssal supple blade, then she picked up the already expired Leopard.

Towards this, Xu Yun didn’t put forth any opinion. The person was killed by her, so let her clean up the scene of battle. Xu Yun was already accustomed to seeing b.l.o.o.d.y scenes, but speaking truthfully, he really didn’t like these spectacles.

The night scene returned to its prior tranquility, and Xu Yun turned around and went back down to his room.
