"Who are you?" Qin Hao's voice was filled with anger. He hated the feeling of being scared by someone secretly and also hated his negligence even more. At the same time, it had also taught him a lesson. He definitely could not be careless anymore in the future. Under any circumstances, he had to keep the necessary vigilance of his surroundings.
"It doesn't matter who I am." The black shadow ignored Qin Hao's anger, it seemed like that Qin Hao was not worthy of his attention. A person that could not even detect him when he approched, in his eyes, this person was simply not worth mentioning. "Hand over the Evil Yin Pearl and the Spirit Accumulation Pearl, I will spare your life."
Hearing this, Qin Hao knew that this person must be one of the people who were also in the square today.
He knew Evil Yin Pearl, and it’s also with him. However, it’s in his head, he would not be able to hand it over unless he was beheaded. He was puzzled by the Spirit Accumulation Pearl, When did he get the Spirit Accumulation Pearl? After thinking for a while, he found a bead in his pocket. He finally understood that this thing was the Spirit Accumulation Pearl. There were only two left in his pockets, the other one which must have been found by those people.
He naturally scoffed at the words of sparing his life. If he really handed over the pearls, he could guarantee that he was the first one to be killed in order to cover up the tracks of the Evil Yin Pearl and the Spirit Accumulation Pearl. Spirit Accumulation Pearl was not important, the key thing was the Evil Yin Pearl. In order to snatch it, these ancient martial arts sects all flocked over and destroyed a sect. If he got it, in order to not become the target, he would definitely kill Qin Hao.
When the black shadow saw Qin Hao touching his pockets, his sights tore the darkness like lightning and stared at Qin Hao's pockets. From the outside, he could see the round shape of Qin Hao's pockets, which must be either the Spirit Accumulation Pearl or the Evil Yin Pearl. The shadow became excited. His hard work finally paid off. After one day and one night of searching, he had finally caught up.
"Quickly hand them out." The shadow could no longer remain calm. Even his voice had changed due for the excitement. However, he was somewhat afraid of Qin Hao's strange palm technique. Today, in the square, even the expert like Taoist Ping Yang had lost a palm. He had to be careful. If not for that, he would have already rushed over to snatch them with all his power.
Qin Hao coldly laughed, "If you can, come and get it yourself."
"Fine, since you court death, I'll help you." The black shadow flew into a rage, and with a "shua" sound, he pulled out a flexible sword from his waist. Qin Hao clearly saw that the flexible sword was inserted into his belt, which was the scabbard. This was indeed a good method to hide the sword.
When he took out his flexible sword, a beam of white light shot out with winds to the direction of Qin Hao. If Qin Hao was still a First stage Martial Cultivator, it would be hard for him to deal with this sword attack. However, he was already a Second Stage Martial Cultivator, this sword attack seemed sharp and fast, but in his eyes, it was slow. From his first shot, Qin Hao could tell that they were at same level of cultivation, early period of the Inner Stage. With the same cultivation level, even if he had just broken through, he could still easily defeat his opponent.
Seeing the flexible sword come to him, Qin Hao extended his hand and grabbed it. “Grasping a sword with one hand, seeking death.” That black shadow laughed sinisterly, like he had already seen Qin Hao's hand had been penetrated by his sword.
However, something that shocked the black shadow happened. Qin Hao attacked before the sword touched him. His hand didn't touch the sword at all, instead, it directly grabbed his hand that was holding the sword in a strange way. He had underestimated his opponent too much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught by Qin Hao so easily. When he tried to retreat, he felt a sharp pain of piercing the heart.
"Ah!" A mournful scream pierced through the night sky, spreading far and wide. His arm was torn off by Qin Hao, and it was kicked away, rolling on the ground.
"So weak." Qin Hao curled his lips and said with disdain. "How dare you rob me with such little strength. It’s funny." After saying that, he picked up the flexible sword on the ground and walked towards the robber.
"Don't, don't kill me." The man looked terrified. He couldn't stand up anymore and could only move his body backwards.
"Give me a reason." Qin Hao stared at him coldly. His eyes were the same as the evil, as if he was just looking at a dead man.
"I am a member of the Devil Shadow Sect. If you kill me, Devil Shadow Sect will not let this go easily and they will vow to kill you. When it comes, you …"
"Damn, I am frightened." Qin Hao didn't wait for him to finish his words but pierced his throat by the sword. When he killed this man, he sensed someone approaching. He paused for a moment, and quickly tore off that person's belt. Then, he sheathed the sword and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Sister Yu, the scream seemed to have come from over there. Let's go over and take a look." Soon, a man's voice came from a place not far from here.
"Okay, everyone be careful." It was the sound of Ye Siyu.
Not long later, Ye Siyu with a few people come to the dead body. A man approached the corpse, squatted down and checked carefully, then stood up and reported, "This is a member of the Devil Shadow Sect. The bones of his hands were broken, his breastbone was broken, and a sword pierced through his throat. The killer was really cruel.”
Ye Siyu frowned. She took a few steps forward and carefully looked at that face. Her eyebrows raised as she said, "I know this person. His name is Mo Kun. He's an expert on inner stage. I didn't expect him to die here."
"Hump, the Devil Shadow Sect has always been against our Profound Martial Sect. They deserve to die …" A person gloated.
"Enough. If he dies, so let it be. It has nothing to do with us. Everyone, continue searching for Qin Hao." Ye Siyu interrupted that person.
After saying that, Ye Siyu was about to leave, but then she stopped and looked backward. "Someone's coming."
As expected, a dozen or so people rushed over from the other side of the grass patch with clatter.
"Devil Shadow Sect?"
"Profound Martial Sect?"
The two groups of people did not expect to meet each other at this place. The two sects had a strained relation, so when they saw each other, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Everyone was in a state of war, ready to fight at any moment.
At this moment, they were still in a state of tension. However, when the people from the Devil Shadow Sect discovered the corpses on the ground, the fuse of battle was lit up.
"That's senior brother Mo Kun. You actually dared to kill our people. Damn it, kill them and avenge for senior brother Mo Kun." The members of the Devil Shadow Sect were all filled with anger. Without any hesitation, they rushed towards Ye Siyu's side and even didn’t give them a chance to explain. However the explaining was useless, as the two sects had a deep grudge.
For a time, the grassy area had become a battlefield for slaughter. The two sects were like water and fire, attacked merciless. One was more vicious than the other, screams and blood filled the air very soon.
Not far away, Qin Hao was hiding in the underbrush, paying attention to the battle. He was originally planning to leave, but after hearing Ye Siyu's voice, he stopped and decided to hide to the side to see what this woman was doing. Unexpected, another group of people come and they started to fight very soon.
Obviously, Ye Siyu's side was at a disadvantage. There were only five or six people on her side, whereas the Devil Shadow Sect had a dozen or so people, which was twice as many as Ye Siyu's side.
Very soon, two people on Ye Siyu's side had been injured. The situation was critical.
Qin Hao was in a dilemma. Should he help her or not? He had helped her once, however, as a result, she didn’t thanks for the help and didn’t show him any good will.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a scream. It was from Ye Siyu. She was hit, and her body had been hurt as well.
Ye Yiyu was the strongest member from the Profound Martial Sect side and was also the backbone of the group. When she was in trouble, it would inevitably cause panic in the hearts of the others. As they were in panic, one of them was immediately stabbed to death, and very quickly, two more people died in battle. At last, there were only two people left on Ye Siyu’s side. They were surrounded by more than ten people from the Devil Shadow Sect, and the leading person was extremely excited.
"Haha , kill the man and capture her alive. Let us enjoy the number one beauty from Profound Martial Sect tonight." As soon as these words were spoken, the Devil Shadow Sect's villains desperately rushed towards Ye Siyu, like they didn’t care about their lives.
"You dare to have idea about my woman?" Qin Hao was infuriated by what he had just said. In his heart, no men would be allowed to touch Ye Siyu, and he was the only one who could touch her. Swoosh, Swoosh, countless silver needles shot out from behind to those people from Devil Shadow Sect in the dark night.
No one from Devil Shadow Sect could expect a sneak attack from behind. The silver needles were so small and the speed was so fast, in the dark night, they were like killing ghosts. In an instant, four people fell to the ground.
"There's someone behind us." Someone shouted, and some of them immediately scattered and looked around. Their reactions were extremely fast, "Who is it, come out."
Another dozen of needles come to them as a reply. This time, even if they were on guard, three people still fell. It was hard to guard against the tiny silver needles. Even now, they still did not know what they had died from. They felt fear due for they didn’t know the reason. This place was already gloomy and terrifying, and the people around had mysteriously died, making the atmosphere more terrified.
Seven people died, there were only six people left on Devil Shadow Sect’s side. The remaining people gave up attacking Ye Siyu, and quickly gathered together, leaning on each other, staring in horror at the wild grass swaying in the night wind with wide eyes, as if there was something hidden underneath the wild grass.
"S-senior brother, what should we do?" A few of them asked the leader of the group with trembling voices.
"Is … is there a ghost here …?"
"Shut up." The leader who’s in black stopped that man, "There is no ghost in the world, there must be someone playing tricks in the dark. I feel that it is tiny concealed weapon which is very hard to detect, everybody be careful."
Just as he finished speaking, whooshing sounds rang out as a few more silver needles shot out.
"Be careful!" With a loud shout, the black clothed man brandished his sword to create a sword wall in front of him, blocking all the silver needles aimed at him. At the same time, he discovered the target that attacked them, "Over there?" As his just finished his words, he dashed in the direction of Qin Hao with a monstrous killing intent.
Not only did he block Qin Hao's silver needles, but discovered Qin Hao's location, and instantly rushed over, it proved that this person's strength was extraordinary.
