Chapter 33: The Strong Enemy Returns
With a "crack,"
In the flickering cold light, the yellow ribbon burst into several pieces, and at the same time, a wild wind stirred, sending sand and stones flying, making all the ice needles disappear without a trace.
Then, Wang Yu slowly walked out from the wild wind, holding a knife in one hand and a silver folding fan in the other, which was the magical item ‘Dark Wind Fan.’
The young woman’s expression changed greatly upon seeing this.
Wang Yu, however, snorted, and with a sudden swing of his arm, the long knife shot forth like a beam of cold light, heading straight for the young woman.
The young woman gasped, but at such a close distance, she had no time to react and could only watch in despair as the cold light pierced through her body.
"Bang!"
A bright gun barrel suddenly shot up from the ground nearby, striking the long knife and knocking it away.
Then, with a "whoosh" sound, the nearby dirt flew up, and a figure wrapped in yellow light slowly emerged from the ground, holding a gun with one hand.
Wang Yu swayed and caught the returning long knife again, but when he clearly saw the true appearance of the figure in the yellow light, his expression suddenly became a bit strange.
Before he could say anything, the figure moved and suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yu.
"Whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh."
The figure’s long spear was fierce like a venomous snake, and it launched five continuous thrusts at Wang Yu, each one at an awkward angle that was hard to block.
Wang Yu, in a state of high-speed synchronization, swung his long knife like a storm, each strike accurately blocking the spear’s tip.
But with every block, he felt a strange vibration coming from the opponent’s spear. Even with enhanced control over his muscles, he was still forced to stagger back.
After the figure completed these thrusts and quickly returned to its original spot, Wang Yu had retreated five or six steps, increasing the distance between himself and the figure.
He felt numbness in his arms, looking at the gun-wielding figure with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
The other person no longer paid attention to Wang Yu and turned to the young woman, gently saying:
"Rou’er, I have come to take you away, come with me."
This figure was surprisingly the masked young man from the magic ship, who covered half of his face. At this moment, he looked at the young woman with loving eyes.
"Brother Li, you won’t kill me?" The young woman looked at the masked young man, her expression filled with alarm, and timidly asked.
"Why would I want to kill you? We grew up together as childhood friends, and we were in love. I even gave you the family heirloom of the Li family as a wedding gift. Later, when the Li family faced troubles, I went missing. You had to marry into the Huang family, and I can understand that," the masked young man said with unwavering calmness.
"I treated the Li family’s heirloom as a dowry and gave it to the Huang family. You don’t hold that against me?" The young woman bit her lip, as if still in disbelief.
"I have long considered you the lady of the Li family. That item was given to you, so it rightfully belongs to you. How you handle it afterward, I will never blame you," the masked young man said softly without hesitation.
The young woman stood still, stunned by what she heard.
Wang Yu, standing nearby, was also left speechless.
The young man in the mask looks cool, but he is actually a lovesick man.
"Okay, Brother Li, I will go with you, but you must first help me kill this little thief. As long as I see this little thief die right in front of me, I will follow you." The young woman hesitated for a moment after hearing the masked man’s words, but when she glanced toward Wang Yu, hatred surged in her heart, and she said to the masked man without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu cursed the young woman in his heart, gripped his long knife tightly, and coldly looked at the masked man.
Although he did not know the other person’s skill level, their marksmanship was indeed impressive. If he had not activated the super mode, it would have been difficult to withstand those few shots.
"You want me to kill him? Although he is not very skilled, his strength is not weak. If I make a move, we might both get hurt." The masked man frowned after glancing at Wang Yu.
"Brother Li, I know how powerful your Li family’s ‘Thunder Lance’ is. If you use all your strength, you can definitely kill him. Besides, I will help you from the side. Once you help me avenge my husband, I will be yours forever." Driven by hatred, the young woman tried her best to persuade the masked man.
"Avenge your husband? Even now, you still consider yourself a Huang family member!" The masked man’s expression changed, and his voice turned cold.
"No, no! Brother Li, I just want to fulfill my duty as a wife to Huang Lang one last time. If you help me kill this little thief, I will be yours forever. I promise…" The young woman started to panic and hurriedly tried to explain.
"Puff!"
The bright gunpoint pierced through the young woman’s chest with lightning speed, leaving her feeling cold all the way through.
The young woman looked down at the deep red spot on her chest, then lifted her head to gaze at the masked young man who was so close, her face still showing disbelief.
"Brother Li, you…."
"If you want to be a Huang family member and cannot forget your husband, then I will send you on your way. If I cannot win your heart, you will disappear from my memory forever, so I will have no worries later that block my path," said the masked young man calmly. With another flick of his wrist, the red gunpoint burst into flames, instantly wrapping the young woman in fire.
The young woman let out a heartbreaking scream in the flames.
"No, Brother Li, I was wrong! Please spare me; I will treat you well from now on. If you kill me, the Li family’s heirloom will be lost forever… No… I curse you, you…"
Her screams grew quieter in the flames until there was no sound left.
Nearby, Wang Yu witnessed the young woman’s ashes fade away, feeling a chill in his heart and a shiver running down his back.
As a university student living in modern times, having never seen such a thing, he kept shouting in his mind that this person was a "freak" and that he must stay far away from him.
At that moment, the masked young man shook his spear and pulled it back, taking out a piece of golden-yellow wood about a foot long from his pocket. He gently touched it twice and said to the remnants of the young woman with a blank expression:
"Rou’er, you don’t need to worry about the Li family’s matters. I have already sneaked into the Huang family and taken it out. Otherwise, why would the Huang family forcefully board the ship to search? Hmph, a small family that doesn’t even have a Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to spy on our Li family’s possessions. Sooner or later, I will destroy the Huang family."
After saying this, the masked young man turned his cold and icy gaze towards Wang Yu, as if there were no feelings at all.
Wang Yu then suddenly realized that the two members of the Huang family had forcefully boarded the Iron Arrow Ship to find this person.
But when he saw the masked young man’s gaze, he felt a jolt in his heart. He quickly slid his silver folding fan into his sleeve and pulled out a small iron shield to block in front of him, while he flipped his long knife back into his waist and coldly said to the other, holding the hilt with one hand.
"Are you still going to attack now?"
"There’s no need. You have the Iron Essence Shield of Huang Qiyue and have killed members of the Huang family. To me, you are a friend, not an enemy. Today, let’s pretend we never met and go our separate ways." The masked young man looked at the iron shield in Wang Yu’s hand for a moment, then suddenly smiled and put the golden wood back into his pocket, walking toward the dense forest on the side.
Wang Yu was surprised to hear that the young man recognized the small Iron Essence Shield he held, but when he saw the other person leaving, he felt a huge sense of relief.
He couldn’t measure the other person’s strength and didn’t want to fight, so he immediately left in the opposite direction.
"Whoosh"
The young man in a mask, who had just reached the edge of the forest, suddenly shot back, and after a swift move in the low air, he landed again in the center of the clearing, looking darkly towards the forest.
Wang Yu was taken aback, and his feet, which were about to leave, came to a halt.
"Slap, slap"
"I never expected that just by coming a little late, I would get to see such a good show. Young man, the Li family you mentioned, could it be the Li family of the Fire Birds from Yuezhou, who was destroyed a decade ago? That piece of wood you have must be the legendary thousand-year-old phoenix tree."
From the side of the forest, a small figure stepped out, clapping his hands and looking at the young man in the mask with greedy eyes. He had a head hanging from his waist.
It was the dwarf Qiankunzi.
And that head, with its fierce expression and full of spite, was unmistakably Yu Bintian’s.
