Lao San, Xiao Wu's teammate who was watching from the sidelines, laughed and made a sarcastic remark.
"Shut up, you're so noisy! I have my own way of handling this!"
Xiao Wu snorted coldly and flashed beneath a small stall. Countless icicles, manipulated by the flute music, chased after her and rushed toward the stall.
Seeing himself cornered by ice spikes flying from all directions, Xiao Wu suddenly paused, swung his long sword horizontally, and snapped the wooden stick supporting his stall in half.
The stall collapsed instantly, and she seized the opportunity to use the tip of her sword to grab the roof. The resulting gust of wind whipped up the huge oilcloth, which swept out and blocked all the icicles coming from all directions.
The icicles were half-stuck in the oilcloth, and even with the flute music urging them to move, they couldn't be pulled out.
The koi immediately realized something was wrong and its fingers flew across the keys, changing the melody.
The next second, the oilcloth was suddenly cleaved in two by the crescent-shaped sword energy, its momentum undiminished, carrying immense killing intent as it headed straight for the koi's face.
The latter immediately pressed the hole on the flute, nodded and poured out a note, which formed invisible ripples that collided with the sword energy in the air.
The two forces collided, scattering into fragments of energy that were indistinguishable to the naked eye, leaving deep, radial marks on the surrounding ground.
Koi was sweating profusely as she tried to block the sword energy, but when she looked behind the two torn oilcloths for her opponent, she was shocked to find that the place was empty.
A sense of unease immediately arose in her mind, and she quickly turned her gaze to look around, but she couldn't catch a glimpse of the vanished figure.
"above!"
Mingya's urgent voice came, and Jinli belatedly raised her head, only to be met with a cold glint of light falling from the sky.
At the critical moment, Jinli gripped the flute with both hands and parried upwards, stopping the deadly blade just half a centimeter from her forehead.
"clang"
A crisp sound echoed in the air, and the dissipated power transformed into waves, stirring up a circle of dust centered on the girl.
Xiao Wu frowned slightly. She hadn't expected the broken flute to be so hard. With one sword strike, she couldn't even leave a mark on it, let alone cut it in half.
She increased the force in her hand, pressing the sword down, but the seemingly weak girl, Koi, managed to hold her off with her slender arms.
But in terms of fighting experience, Xiao Wu was a level above the seemingly gentle and refined Jinli. She suddenly loosened her grip and kicked Jinli in the abdomen.
The koi fish hadn't expected such a sneaky trick, and its petite body tumbled away.
"die!!!"
Xiao Wu took a step forward and immediately slashed at the head with her sword, but at this moment, she only had eyes for the koi and forgot to notice the figure rushing up from the side at the same time.
However, Mingya swung his sword, and the powerful vertical slash he unleashed struck Xiao Wu precisely in the waist.
Chapter 87 A Mere Master
Blood splattered, and Xiao Wu groaned in pain. He then turned and kicked Mingya in the thigh.
Mingya's footwork was already unsteady, and this kick caused him to lose his balance, falling to the ground with a wail.
But Xiao Wu didn't have time to finish her off, because Jinli, who had recovered, immediately started playing the melody of her jade flute. Several sound waves transformed into sharp blades that slashed through the air, forcing her to cover her side and retreat several steps to increase the distance between her and Mingya.
Xiao Wu stared at Mingya, who was groaning and clutching his leg on the ground, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
If she hadn't caught a glimpse of the cold light reflected from Mingya's sword as he swung it, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, she would be in far more serious condition than just having her side slashed open.
But she couldn't understand how such a worthless nobody had managed to bypass her senses and launch a sneak attack in that split second.
"Xiao Wu, your skills have become rusty."
The third brother's voice came from the side, "That kid is at most a skilled fighter. Although it was a sneak attack, it's still a bit embarrassing to be injured by such a sword technique."
"Shut up!"
Xiao Wu clutched his aching lower back, blood seeping from between his fingers. They had no idea that the guy was strange.
Mingya, who was rolling on the ground, was naturally unaware of the other party's opinion of him. He was in so much pain that his face was turning blue, because that kick had almost broken his leg bone.
This woman was incredibly strong, like an ox. If he hadn't been injured and hadn't retaliated hastily, that kick would probably have left him paralyzed from the neck down on the spot.
Even now, when Mingya recalls her courageous sneak attack, she still feels a little scared.
"Since Xiao Wu is injured, let's act quickly."
The eldest brother, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"Great, it's finally our turn."
The fourth brother's voice rang out softly. He picked up the throwing knife in his hand and lightly licked it with the tip of his tongue. "Little merman girl, don't blame us for not being martial arts savage, hehe."
"I'll thoroughly enjoy the thrill of skinning you alive~"
Xiao Wu, who was injured, was pale and wanted to shout, but the pain from her waist wound made her tremble and she couldn't make a sound, so she simply gave up.
She had been injured while facing two opponents, so it was indeed inappropriate for her to act impulsively and disrupt the mission.
"If you're looking for me, tell him to leave, and I'll surrender without resistance."
The koi carp's face remained calm as water, then suddenly spoke.
"what?"
Mingya looked at Jinli in astonishment, "Has the situation already developed to this point?"
"A good suggestion, but unfortunately, the client who hired that kid has already paid."
The eldest of the three resolutely refused.
The koi's expression immediately turned serious.
Even though Mingya eventually recovered and shakily got up from the ground while leaning against the wall, the two of them had almost gotten into trouble when they were at full strength against just one of them. Now, they had to deal with three people working together at the same time, and their chances of winning were practically nonexistent.
Holding a jade flute, she stood with Mingya, their backs to the tavern, and slowly retreated.
On the other side, the injured Xiao Wu consciously gave up his position, allowing his three teammates to slowly approach.
The third brother raised his long stick first, pointing it at Jinli and Mingya. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the eldest brother suddenly waved his hand, blocking his way.
"how?"
The third brother asked a question, but the eldest brother suddenly frowned and turned to look behind him.
Seeing that the three enemies' gazes suddenly shifted, Mingya was also surprised. He looked over and his face lit up with joy.
Across the empty street, a man dressed in a pirate coat and wearing a tricorn hat stood silently watching the crowd.
He carried a cloth bag in his left hand, his clothes stained with blood, and his lazy gaze beneath his disheveled bangs looked towards Mingya with a hint of helplessness.
"I'm just going out for a short while, why are you making such a big fuss?"
"I didn't want to either, I was bullied, Brother Ye."
When Mingya saw the person who came, she was so excited that she almost cried.
Thank goodness, he's finally back!!
"Is this another guy on the list?"
The third brother's expression turned slightly serious as he looked at the eldest brother, "Didn't the second brother go to deal with him? How come he was allowed to come back?"
The eldest brother did not answer, but instead turned his gaze to the cloth bag that Ye Xiao was carrying.
"So that guy in the church was one of your partners?"
Hearing their conversation, Ye Xiao threw the cloth bag in her hand to the ground. "That's perfect, he's come to reunite with you."
The bag fell to the ground, and blood seeped out slowly. Through the knotted gap at the top, half of an empty eye was revealed.
Even though they could only see half of the covered eyes, the other four immediately recognized what was in the bag.
"Second brother!!??"
Clutching his waist, Xiao Wu was the first to exclaim in disbelief, "Damn it!!! You actually killed him!?!"
"What, can't we kill him?"
Ye Xiao shrugged. "He didn't tell me not to kill him before he did it."
"Damn!!!"
Xiao Wu roared and raised his foot to charge at Ye Xiao.
Fortunately, the third brother was quick-witted and agile. When he realized that something was wrong, he had already stepped back and grabbed the shoulder of the angry girl.
"Don't go over there. He could kill the second brother, how could you possibly be his match?"
"But……"
The girl struggled to shake off the third brother's hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, why is this acting like I'm the main villain?"
Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "Weren't you the ones who started this trouble? Your people can kill me, but I can't kill your people?"
“That’s what a crybaby is like,”
Mingya retorted, equally annoyed, "Miss Koi, you should cry too! We can't lose in terms of momentum!"
Koi frowned slightly, giving him a look that seemed to say, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Kid, you've got guts."
At this moment, the fourth man spoke up, tossing a throwing knife as he walked towards Ye Xiao, "Do you know who we are?"
Ye Xiao glanced at the throwing knives that the fourth brother was tossing up one after another, and smiled.
"circus?"
"Very well, you have indeed successfully angered me."
The fourth brother's forehead veins bulged. He was usually the one making sarcastic remarks to others, and this was the first time he had been the one being made sarcastic remarks to.
"Be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with."
The third brother, who was still trying to stop Xiao Wu, reminded him.
"Heh, I'll have this guy lying down in ten seconds."
The fourth brother caught the flying knife, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and with a step, his figure instantly approached Ye Xiao like a ghost.
His figure was split into three, like a long snake lying on the ground drawing three strange arcs on the ground in an instant!
"So fast!"
Mingya was secretly alarmed. The three afterimages left by that speed were so fast that even his eyes couldn't keep up with the opponent's pace.
Jinli was even more worried. She had already figured out the background of her opponent after their previous exchange, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. Even if Mr. Ye was strong, he looked like he had already gone through a fierce battle, and dealing with another one would be extremely dangerous...
"boom"
However, the next second, the rapidly approaching fourth brother was seen flying out upside down like a ball, crashing into a nearby stall and scattering his throwing knives all over the ground.
Ye Xiao withdrew her foot and pursed her lips.
"A mere master like you, you can do magic tricks or practice martial arts, mixing them up. It's a miracle you've survived this long."
Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.
The girl, Koi, froze.
Mingya stared wide-eyed in disbelief, certain familiar scenes from her memory resurfacing—
...Holy crap, Brother Ye kicked him to death!?
Chapter Eighty-Eight: Two Fists Against Eight Hands
"hateful……"
Mingya's thoughts were not entirely correct, because the fourth brother who was kicked away was not dead and was able to stand up with the help of the wall.
"I was careless, that floor was too slippery..."
However, his disheveled appearance, clutching his abdomen and with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicated that the situation was not as minor as he claimed.
"Fourth brother, are you alright?!"
The third brother exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with shock. Although he had expected that this uninvited guest must have some strength to be able to defeat the second brother, he did not expect that he could seriously injure the fourth brother, who was a master, with a single kick.
The other person looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, yet their strength had already reached the Grandmaster level?!
"I...cough..."
