Chapter 175 Fishing Operation
On this battlefield, the air is filled with a strong murderous aura.
Qi Yebai's face was pale and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he still held the lightning sword tightly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.
Faced with the fierce attacks from the two enemies in black and white, he had obviously reached his limit.
Although his "Wanjie Wujiang Gong" had already expanded the lightning field to all around, the lightning around him was like a raging wave.
But the black-clothed man's fists smashed down like hammers, intertwining with the white-clothed man's frost magic, leaving him almost unable to fight back.
The man in black was burly, and the force of his fists could almost tear the air apart. Wherever his fists passed, lightning was instantly suppressed and ice was instantly frozen.
The frost magic of the man in white is in sharp contrast to the power of the man in black. His gentle appearance hides extremely strong attack power, and there is a white cloth wrapped around his eyes, as if making it impossible to see into his heart.
The "Mysterious Ice Splitting Heaven and Earth Strike" move caused the temperature on the battlefield to drop sharply, hail fell from the sky, and sharp ice spikes stabbed towards Qi Yebai like swords.
Qi Yebai was defeated step by step and his body was covered with wounds.
The frost left deep marks on his skin, blood oozed from the wounds, and there were even a few deep fist marks on his face.
The man in black grinned fiercely, his voice low and threatening: "Give up resistance, Qi Yebai. We are well aware of your strength. If you surrender now, you can still save your life."
Qi Yebai frowned, gritted his teeth, and still refused to surrender: "You are not worthy to kill me!"
As he spoke, his feet involuntarily retreated. It was obvious that he was ready to retreat and prepare to preserve his strength by retreating.
However, the man in black had already seen through his intentions and followed closely, not giving him any chance to breathe.
At this moment, Lin Xiao stood in the shadows and watched coldly.
Seeing Qi Yebai's predicament, he suddenly felt a strong sense of anxiety. If he didn't take action, Qi Yebai might really be taken down by these two people.
Lin Xiao took a step quietly, his feet like the silent wind, and quickly performed the "Phantom Body Technique". He appeared behind the man in white in a flash and attacked without hesitation.
A "Dragon Shadow Fist" was thrown out heavily, with a strong and powerful fist and unparalleled domineering power, hitting the man in white on the back.
"what!"
The man in white was caught off guard and screamed in pain. He was knocked to the ground. The white cloth tied in front of his eyes was blown away, revealing a pair of narrow and very distinctive cross-eyes.
The battlefield that was originally surrounded by frost suddenly became less cold because of his confusion, and the "Mysterious Ice Splitting Heaven and Earth Strike" also disappeared.
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the man in white, revealing his true appearance with a pair of cross-eyed eyes.
Qi Yebai also saw the opportunity to counterattack at this time. He no longer retreated. He stabbed the lightning sword in his hand fiercely at the man in black, and pierced the man in black's heart with one sword.
"Who are you? How dare you sneak attack me!" The man in white was furious. He stood up quickly and stared at Lin Xiao fiercely. Almost instinctively, he used the "Mysterious Ice Splitting Heaven and Earth Strike" again.
He gathered an ice knife in his hand, and the frosty coldness spread out, slashing towards Lin Xiao fiercely, vowing to make this suddenly appearing enemy pay the price.
Lin Xiao dodged easily, his footsteps following like a shadow. Hail and ice spikes fell one after another. He escaped from the hail by turning sideways, then raised his sword to block, easily resolving the attack of the ice knife.
After several exchanges with the man in white, Lin Xiao clearly felt that the man's attacks were becoming more and more chaotic and had lost their original rhythm.
"It's impossible that he is at the second level of Dingsi realm." Lin Xiao sneered, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He guessed that the man in white was distracted because his cross-eyes were exposed, and he was no longer able to exert his true strength.
Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and suddenly used the "Shadow Spirit Sword Stab". The sword stabbed out like a shadow, and the sword tip cut through the ice wall shield of the man in white with an almost unpredictable speed.
After the long sword penetrated the ice wall, it stopped straight at the center of the white-clothed man's eyebrows. The tip of the sword glowed slightly, reflecting his crossed eyes.
The man in white's face froze instantly, unable to move, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
"Brother, save me!" the man in white screamed, his voice full of fear.
At this time, although Qi Yebai was also seriously injured and looked embarrassed, he held the lightning sword tightly, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife, and he stabbed the sword into the chest of the man in black without hesitation.
The man in black's body convulsed violently, and he eventually fell to the ground and died.
Qi Yebai drew out his lightning sword, which flashed with lightning. His voice was deep and powerful: "It's okay. Your brother will come to you soon."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yebai walked towards the man in white with steady steps, like an expressionless god of death.
Although his face was covered with fist marks and bloodstains, and his entire face was almost beaten into another appearance, there was no fluctuation in his eyes. They were as cold as ice, like a ruthless god of death.
Walking up to the man in white, Qi Yebai stabbed his sword into his chest without mercy.
The white-clothed man's pupils instantly dimmed, and with a soundless fall to the ground, his body fell powerlessly like a dead leaf, and his blood quickly soaked the ground.
After everything was over, a complex expression finally appeared on Qi Yebai's face, a faint sense of satisfaction and relief.
He smiled and turned to face Lin Xiao: "Little brother, I recognize you. This time, I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Lin Xiao stood there, watching all this, but his heart was suddenly shocked.
He felt a strong contrast from Qi Yebai's transformation, as if the man just now was a completely different person.
Qi Yebai's indifference and ruthlessness in the face of the enemy reminded him of the scene when he was facing two enemies alone. At that time, Qi Yebai had never shown such a smile at all.
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "No need, you helped me remove the 'transparent button' before, I already owed you a favor, this time we are even."
Qi Yebai was slightly surprised, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, since you said so, then let it go."
He did not refuse and accepted Lin Xiao's answer readily.
At this time, Qi Yebai had already searched the body of the man in white and threw all the items to Lin Xiao.
A bottle of poison, some dry food and two pills.
"You defeated him, so everything on him belongs to you."
Qi Yebai glanced at Lin Xiao, then turned and walked towards the fallen body of the man in black, explaining, "Those two pills are called 'blood-nourishing pills'. If you take them quickly when you're injured, they can suppress the injury and stimulate your potential."
Lin Xiao took the item and looked at the pill in his hand carefully.
He found that this pill was very similar to the one carried by the witch, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
However, he did not speak immediately, but his eyes involuntarily swept over the body that Qi Yebai had already searched, and he sighed in his heart: This Qi Yebai, his body search technique is really skilled, it's like he was born to do this job.
"You are so skilled at searching people!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but admire.
Qi Yebai replied nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. If you kill enough people, you'll slowly develop this skill."
Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How many people did he have to kill to master this technique?
At the same time, he bent down to search the body of the man in white. He wondered if Qi Yebai had left anything behind. Just as he lowered his head to continue searching the body of the man in white, he found that there were no other usable items.
Turning to look at Qi Yebai, he saw that he had searched the man in black cleanly and efficiently, and was holding a pill in his hand that was completely different from the one in his own.
Qi Yebai seemed to sense Lin Xiao's gaze and smiled faintly: "The pill in my hand is called 'Qi Enhancement Pill'. It can quickly restore your strength and is especially suitable for physical cultivation. The 'Blood Nourishing Pill' in your hand is suitable for Qi cultivation. It can help recover from injuries and stimulate potential."
As he spoke, he threw the pill in his hand to Lin Xiao: "How about we exchange pills? Your pill is suitable for Qi cultivation, and mine is suitable for body cultivation."
When Lin Xiao took the pill, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and threw the pill in his hand to Qi Yebai, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "You didn't even give me time to think about it!"
Seeing that there were no more items to search for, Qi Yebai stood up straight and saluted Lin Xiao. His expression became more serious. "Thank you for your help today, little brother. If we meet again in the future, please give me your all, because I will not show mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yebai turned around and prepared to leave, as if the battle was completely over.
"Wait!" Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Qi Yebai paused, his expression instantly becoming serious: "Little brother, do you want to challenge me again here?"
"Stubborn!" Lin Xiao showed a sly smile. "Why can't we cooperate? Look at my strength at the Jiayin Seventh Realm. Isn't it tempting?"
Qi Yebai's strength should not be underestimated, and he has considerable combat experience. Lin Xiao secretly thought: If I could travel with Qi Yebai for a while, he would definitely be an excellent learning object. Moreover, with his strength at the Dingsi Second Realm, I am not afraid that he would hurt me.
"You mean fishing?"
Qi Yebai's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Lin Xiao meant. His face became gentle, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He thought to himself, "Using a Jiayin Seventh Realm as bait, no fish should be able to resist biting the hook. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the bait turning against the water."
He suddenly felt that this plan was indeed a good idea.
"Smart guy!" Lin Xiao exclaimed, a playful glint in his eyes. "How about a partnership? 50-50 split, each person gets half the profit."
Qi Yebai smiled slightly and nodded: "Cooperation, how can we not cooperate."
He then pointed around and reminded, "But let's talk while we walk. If we stay here too long, I'm afraid other contestants will come."
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, and the two of them quickly turned around and walked away from the battlefield.
...
A moment later, the four men finally arrived at the battlefield where Lin Xiao and Qi Yebai had left.
The leaders were Murong Rui and Xiang Shouyi from last night. They joined up with two other guards from the Murong family and were searching the surroundings for the murderer.
Hearing the sound of fighting, they immediately rushed over.
Xiang Shouyi squatted down and examined the bodies of the man in white and the man in black, his face solemn. He then reported to Murong Rui, "Young Master, both of them were injured by swords, but they were not the one from last night."
He stood up, looking disappointed.
Murong Rui frowned slightly when he heard this, nodded in disappointment, and then whispered, "It seems we have to keep looking."
Just as they were about to leave, a guard glanced across the distance, suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted, "Someone!"
"Chase!" Murong Rui gave the order and immediately led the guards to chase in the direction where Lin Xiao and Qi Yebai left.
...
Lin Xiao and Qi Yebai jogged all the way and finally arrived at an open area.
There are no trees or weeds around here, only an abandoned riverbed, which seems like an ancient road that has been abandoned for a long time. It is silent, with only the occasional bird song coming from the distance.
Qi Yebai glanced around and relaxed only after confirming that no one was following him.
He turned to Lin Xiao and said, "We'll split all the gains 50-50. If there's a 'Thunderbolt Mysterious Pill', it'll go to me first. I'll find a pill of the same value to compensate you."
"Does 'Thunder Mysterious Pill' have any benefits for you?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"That's right, the 'Mysterious Thunder Pill' can enhance my 'Eternal Tribulation Art' and will be very helpful in improving my cultivation." Qi Yebai explained, revealing a hint of confidence in his words.
"Deal! The rest will be split 50-50." Lin Xiao agreed readily. After all, he didn't have much demand for the "Thunder Pill".
Qi Yebai nodded, then continued, "Then how about we choose this place as the battle location? It's open and unobstructed, and my 'Wanjie Wujiang Gong' can fully utilize its advantages."
"That's right." Lin Xiao nodded slightly in agreement, but he muttered to himself, "It seems that this is also the decisive battle site you have chosen long ago. If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you can lure them here and fight them to the death."
"However, you'd better not attract enemies above the second level of Jiachen or the second level of Dingsi, otherwise we will have to pay a heavy price." Qi Yebai reminded with a little concern.
"Don't worry, I don't have the confidence to challenge masters of the Jiachen Third Realm or the Dingsi Third Realm." Lin Xiao responded with a chuckle, but thought to himself, "This guy is quite cautious. He's worth learning from."
Lin Xiao looked at Qi Yebai's face and found that his injuries seemed to be quite serious, so he asked, "Do you want to rest and recover? Look at the injuries on your face."
Qi Yebai smiled slightly: "Wait for me nearby for a while, I should be able to recover soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice his skills to restore his strength.
Lin Xiao looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual.
There was no human figure and no breath of monsters, so he found a stone to sit on and closed his eyes to practice.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiao and Qi Yebai opened their eyes almost at the same time, their eyes flashing with excitement and decisiveness.
Lin Xiao and Qi Yebai raised their lips to a sly smile: "The fishing operation begins!"
