Chapter 678: Chapter 370: Lustful for Women? (Part 2)

After all, the current situation with the Mirror of Sin is not good, a master comparable to those on the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Evil, indeed, cannot be underestimated.

But this girl is too ostentatious... going on like this, it’s hard to say how long she could survive.

While pondering this, his actions didn’t stop.

Once they were more or less done eating and drinking, the group brought their horses and continued on their journey.

As they walked, Wu Qianhuan and the others were still discussing the situation of that girl.

Guessing the girl’s identity, and also guessing the identities of those assassins.

After walking for a while, Gentle suddenly sniffed and said to Chu Qing:

"There’s a smell of blood, it’s that girl from before."

Chu Qing nodded, his gaze sweeping around, finally focusing on the ground:

"So that’s how it is..."

He asked Gentle again:

"Which direction?"

Gentle pointed towards the nearby woods.

Chu Qing immediately turned his horse:

"Let’s go and have a look."

Wu Qianhuan and the others naturally had no objections, instead, they were somewhat excited.

The journey had been tedious, just traveling—boring as hell... Rarely seeing a lively event, Chu Qing didn’t mind getting involved in it, they were naturally pleased.

The forest was dense, making it difficult for the horses to proceed.

So they tied the horses at the edge of the woods, and several people went deeper inside, following where Gentle pointed, and within moments, they saw the girl.

However, the girl’s current condition wasn’t very good.

Her clothes soaked in blood with additional fresh stains.

But it was unclear whether it was her own, or someone else’s blood.

She was sitting on a branch of a tree at the moment, her eyes fixed on the ground below, no longer as relaxed as when in the teahouse, her eyes full of vigilance.

Any slight movement would catch her attention.

Yet, the movement made by Chu Qing and the others was much more noticeable than any slight breeze... Thus, the moment they appeared, the girl saw them.

The next moment, her expression changed:

"It’s you?"

Chu Qing smiled slightly:

"Miss, greetings."

He slightly bowed his fists.

But the girl was furious:

"Not very skilled, but good at seeking death... Take your beautiful wives and concubines and get lost, this is not a place for you!"

With those words, the ground suddenly heaved up, as if hiding an earth rat.

It moved directly towards Chu Qing’s location.

The girl’s expression changed again:

"Bastard, how dare you harm the innocent!"

With that, her long sword shook, ready to fight the enemy vigorously.

But at this moment, Chu Qing suddenly raised his foot and gently set it down.

It was as if he had stepped on a perfectly ordinary patch of ground, yet the moment his foot touched the ground, the entire wood went silent for three complete breaths.

The soil that had been pushed up settled down, blood seeped from the ground, staining it crimson.

The girl atop the tree was initially anxious, afraid that these few people would be implicated by her and die here... She hadn’t noticed Chu Qing’s actions, but she realized that the skillful person beneath the earth had suddenly gone still.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime, unique opportunity.

With a shout of anger, she flew from the tree branch, her sword swiftly dropping in mid-air.

The sword’s edge pierced directly into the ground, the girl turned her body, the sword lifting, as a figure was hooked onto her blade tip, forcibly brought out from the earth.

Casually throwing this person aside, the girl didn’t pause for breath, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Swaying, she staggered towards the big tree and leaned against it.

Looking up at Chu Qing and the others standing there motionless, she couldn’t help but chuckle:

"Scared numb?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing and the others were speechless as they exchanged glances.

Where did she get the confidence?

Couldn’t she tell that when the person below the earth launched a suicidal attack at Chu Qing, he was killed by Chu Qing’s foot shock?

Bringing a dead person out from underground, was that so impressive?

Chu Qing curled his lips, about to say something... But noticed the girl’s eyes had gone blank, and then her head tilted, she suddenly fainted.

"Goodness..."

Even Chu Qing, who had witnessed many significant events, had not anticipated such a twist.

Checking her condition, he confirmed that she fainted from excessive blood loss and unstable inner breath.

He immediately took out some bandages and medications, letting Wu Qianhuan and the others tend to her wounds.

Finally, placing her on Su Ningzhen’s horse and continued to travel.

The events surrounding her, Chu Qing needed to clarify.

As for the person who tried to kill her earlier, Su Ningzhen had already identified him.

In Lingbei, he counted as a skilled fighter, not as renowned as the ’Two Beauties, Three Uglies, Five Oddities, and One Demon,’ but only slightly inferior.

This person, nicknamed ’Earth Rat,’ was named Sun Youxian, most proficient in the ’Earth Traveling Art.’

Often hiding his figure, suddenly launching attacks from the ground, his saber technique was both swift and ruthless, hard to fend off.

Even if you fend off once, he would ’travel’ back into the earth, disappearing without a trace.

His opponents could only stay on full alert... But long defenses always weaken, over time he’ll inevitably find an opportunity and ultimately take their life.

This girl battled with him, all her injuries were lower body, upon realizing the situation, she then jumped onto the tree, keeping a careful watch.

Unfortunately, before she could discern the situation, Chu Qing and the others arrived.

Not knowing what Sun Youxian was thinking, he actually rushed towards Chu Qing and them... Which led to him being killed by Chu Qing with a footshock underground.

In hindsight, it was bad luck for Sun Youxian.

If it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have died so resentfully.

Especially since Chu Qing’s martial arts couldn’t be measured with common sense now.

No matter the variations, he directly uses force to shatter the techniques.

And lifting heavy as if it’s light, without stirring the slightest ripple, killed him beneath the ground.

Upon hearing Su Ningzhen, Chu Qing suddenly felt that he killed this person a bit too early...

This Earth Traveling Art sounded quite interesting, enabling a person to move freely underground, should have interrogated him.

Even if he doesn’t practice it, it could be studied.

The girl’s injuries were severe, the group carried her on their journey until nightfall when the glow of the campfire woke her up.

Opening her eyes, she found herself already at another location.

Instinctively reaching for her sword, she grasped empty air.

"Where’s my sword?"

She suddenly looked up, seeing Chu Qing and the others sitting idly by the campfire.

Her Hidden Dragon Sword was in Chu Qing’s hand.

The sword’s edge reflecting the firelight, sharp and intimidating.

The girl instinctively tried to get up, but felt intense pain in her legs, having been slashed several times by Sun Youxian, one cut hit a vital spot, the injuries were indeed severe, she couldn’t stand.

She could only say to Chu Qing:

"Give me back my sword!"

Chu Qing held the sword’s edge, smilingly said:

"Don’t worry, Miss, I won’t seize your sword.

"However, after all, it’s us who saved your life... You don’t think of repaying, seeking your sword immediately, as if we’re going to claim it as ours, which indeed chills the heart, don’t you think?"

"..."

The girl’s expression turned difficult:

"You saved my life? Hmph... I was the one who saved you...

"Forget it, what do you intend?

"I remind you, if you want silver coins, that’s not too hard.

"But if you dare harbor any delusions towards me... take care of your life.

"You’ve seen my martial arts, even if you’re lustful and depraved, best have a limit."

"Lustful and depraved..."

Wu Qianhuan stifled a laugh by pursing her lips.

Su Ningzhen lowered his head, not daring to speak... internally acknowledging the girl’s courage.

Only Gentle looked at Chu Qing seriously, eyes clear:

"Third Brother, are you lustful and depraved?"

"Don’t listen, harms children."

Chu Qing was speechless, but at that moment, the girl’s expression suddenly changed:

"Not good! You... You’ve taken me out and about without any cover, did you not notice being stalked?"

Her inner power was strong, already sensing many hidden operatives around.

A faint killing intent permeated with the wind.

Yet the people before her seemed completely oblivious.

Sitting around the campfire, eating and drinking, without a hint of tension...

The only man among them was still smiling at her:

"Speaking of which, may I ask for the lady’s name?"
