As the cold light met him head on, it almost brushed the tip of his nose and scared Xu Qingmo to the point that he was covered in cold sweat.
He had always felt that the person behind the screen was faintly discernible, sometimes even disappearing. It must have been an expert who had practiced the 'restraining breath technique', so he was very curious, which was why he decided to meet him. However, he didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive and would attack him without even seeing his face.
Judging from the bone-piercing cold light, it was not a test, but a test! It went straight for Xu Qingmo's life.
In that moment of life and death, Xu Qingmo exerted force in his hands and crushed the screen. He then threw the piece of wood in his hand towards his opponent, and at the same time, he turned his body, dodging that cold light.
But when the cold light missed, it unexpectedly released a second cold light that once again slashed at Xu Qingmo's neck!
Dual blade!
This guy was actually a rare double-edged blade.
To a martial artist, the more blades they had in their hands, the more powerful they would be. Only by being proficient in them would they be considered the king of the road, so a martial artist that dared to take out two blades must be confident that they had practiced their own twin blades well.
The cold light was just like a trend, heading straight for Xu Qingmo's neck.
Xu Qingmo didn't have time to praise him and brazenly counterattacked.
The current Xu Qingmo was no longer the Xu Qingmo who just pushed aside the screen, and was suddenly attacked. The moment he turned his body, he was already prepared to counterattack.
The moment the blade light touched Xu Qingmo's neck, it stopped, as though time had stopped in that instant.
Xu Qingmo's left hand had grabbed the blade light!
Empty Claw and White Blade!
Xu Qingmo used his four fingers to grab onto the blade, and actually grabbed onto the biting cold blade.
That person was also extremely surprised. No one had ever been able to catch her saber light with just their hands!
Only then did Xu Qingmo have the time to look at the mastermind of this underground place.
Woman, beauty, a great beauty!
In front of Xu Qingmo, there was actually a great beauty.
This woman was wearing a tight silver suit. She looked like a search officer in some movies. However, her black clothes had turned silver!
Her hair was even silver!
As he was retreating, his blade was grabbed by Xu Qingmo and caught on Xu Qingmo's shoulder. His peerlessly beautiful face was covered by his fluttering silver hair, but his pair of eyes, although somewhat empty, seemed even more innocent.
Just from her eyes alone, it was hard to imagine that she was the mastermind behind this place. If one were to say that she had the eyes of a junior high student, it would be believable.
"Interesting."
Xu Qingmo slowly raised the corner of his mouth.
After being surprised, the silver haired beauty immediately pulled back her blade. Xu Qingmo smiled, strength, however, he was a little bit stronger, in the past, there were a lot of people who wanted to pull back their blades from his move, but in the end, they were unable to do so.
As long as this silver haired beauty held up her blade for a moment, Xu Qingmo would be able to grab onto her exposed weakness and defeat her in one move.
But at the next moment, a surprised expression appeared on Xu Qingmo's face.
The saber light had slipped out of his hand!
The silver haired beauty's strength was unexpectedly great as she suddenly pulled out a blade from Xu Qingmo's hand.
But Xu Qingmo's reaction was also fast, his left hand immediately followed up the retreating blade light and went straight for the silver blade light.
The blade in the silver-haired beauty's hand instantly lit up, and slashed towards Xu Qingmo's left hand.
Xu Qingmo knew that he had the power, so he did not take it head on.
The silver-haired beauty seized this momentary opportunity to retreat. Suddenly, she broke through the window beside her and ran out.
Xu Qingmo looked at the remaining three people who were trembling in fear in the room, then chased after them as well.
Leaving the window was the riverbank. It was really hard to imagine that there would actually be a golden market in such a place!
The sound of police sirens and the shouting of the police came from the other side. Presumably, Xie Hongli had already led his men to launch an offensive, he did not bother about them and stared at the silver-haired beauty who was trying to escape.
The silver-haired figure charged straight into the river below the dike, determined to escape by relying on the river water.
Xu Qingmo did not immediately give chase. Instead, he jumped onto a large rock beside the river and stood still.
"Plop!"
The silver figure dove into the river, making very little noise. If it wasn't for the fact that he was listening carefully, he might have even thought it was a big fish jumping out of the river and making a somersault.
However, Xu Qingmo's lips curled upwards. The silver-haired beauty had just exchanged blows with him and his aura had not stabilized. Then, he hurriedly escaped and dove into the river.
That was why Xu Qingmo did not chase after his just now because he knew that he might not be able to catch her when she jumped into the river. If he were to fight with speed, he might as well occupy a high point and be able to see the river flowing several kilometers away. As long as the silver haired beauty appeared, he would be able to catch up immediately and defeat the exhausted silver beauty.
Xu Qingmo stood on top of the boulder, his heart taking his time. He was clear that even if the silver-haired beauty was cultivating a technique, she would not be able to hold her breath for a long time.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes
Xu Qingmo was focused, his gaze sweeping across the river, as long as there was any movement, he would be able to see it clearly.
However, other than natural movements, there was no other movement.
Oh, the silver-haired beauty's cultivation technique is quite profound, and her Breath Suspending Technique is quite impressive.
Four minutes, five minutes, six minutes
Xu Qingmo frowned, he felt that something was amiss. It was impossible, the silver-haired beauty would not be able to hold her breath for so long.
All the way until ten minutes had passed!
Xu Qingmo was completely shocked. He was even more surprised than when he saw the silver-haired beauty being able to withdraw her blade from his hand in the room.
Impossible!
Even if Xu Qingmo were to dive into the river without stopping, after fighting to the death with a practitioner stronger than himself, it would still be impossible for him to stay still for ten minutes without making any movements!
But Xu Qingmo had indeed not seen any movement at all.
Xu Qingmo observed for a bit more before finally giving up and jumping down from the boulder.
For such a long period of time, the silver-haired beauty either died at the bottom of the river, or had some kind of secret technique that Xu Qingmo didn't know about, allowing her to swim a few kilometers in one go and escape.
Xu Qingmo shook his head. This silver haired beauty had given him too many surprises.
It always gave him a strange feeling, as if she wasn't really that close to this underground club. Was she just waiting for him behind the screen?
With that thought, Xu Qingmo immediately raised his head and looked towards the dilapidated building.
Although the silver-haired beauty had run away, elder sister Hong and the others could not run away. Perhaps, they could learn something from their mouths.
Xu Qingmo jumped into the house from the previous exit, but the house was already empty. Seeing Xu Qingmo leaving from this direction, the three Red Sisters did not dare to follow him out, but instead walked out of the house from the door, looking for another way out.
"Don't move!"
"Get down!"
"Squat on the ground and hand over your weapon!"
Just as Xu Qingmo walked out of the door, he saw several policemen pointing pistols at him.
Xu Qingmo did not want to accidentally injure him, so he could only do as he was told. Squatting on the ground, he held his head with both hands and said: "I am not a criminal, you can ask Xie Hongli!"
"Shut up!"
"The name of the red carp is yours as well?"
A police officer walked over aggressively with a baton, and smashed it towards Xu Qingmo's head.
Xu Qingmo could not take it anymore. He reached out and grabbed the baton, and with a slight force, he snatched it away.
"What are you doing!"
"Stop!"
"Let go of those who don't want to die!"
The policeman was shocked, the policeman behind him also pointed his gun at Xu Qingmo and shouted.
Xu Qingmo stared at the policeman, the situation was urgent and it could happen at any moment.
"What are you doing?" Xie Hongli's clear and cold voice sounded, and upon seeing Xu Qingmo, he immediately exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "He's my friend, without him, our trip wouldn't have been so smooth."
When Xie Hongli said this, the policemen were half convinced and half doubted him. When they recalled what Xu Qingmo had said before, they immediately moved their guns away.
Only the policeman who was robbed by the police said, "He appeared here in a very suspicious manner and still attacked me. We have to restrain him until after the end of the operation."
Xie Hongli shouted loudly: "Let him go!"
With that, Xie Hongli walked to the other side of the corridor. There were still some people resisting her, so she didn't have time to talk any further.
The rest of the policemen also wanted to go, but they still looked at Xu Qingmo and the policeman at the same time.
Both of Xu Qingmo's hands exerted force, bent the baton, and then threw it onto the ground as he chased after Xie Hongli with large strides.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The batons were all specially made and were made of special materials, yet this guy could actually bend so easily. Just how much strength did he have?
"Fortunately, he didn't attack us in the beginning."
"Even if he couldn't subdue us in an instant, he would still have escaped. If he did, he would have crouched down to avoid us."
"Wanting to attack him is simply courting death!"
A few policemen said with lingering fear as they ran after him.
Only the policeman stood on the spot with an embarrassed face.
"Three main forces are hiding in this secret chamber. They have a hunting rifle, so it will be difficult to break in."
Arriving at the end of the corridor, Xu Qingmo saw a police officer reporting to Xie Hongli about the situation.
"What about a side breakthrough?" Xie Hongli asked.
"This won't do. This secret chamber is built underground and is surrounded by mixed mud. There's no way to penetrate it unless we use explosives. However, we didn't bring any this time."
Explosives weren't something that could be taken out easily, and to use them, one had to go through strict application procedures.
"No grenades?" Xie Hongli said again.
"No, the wall is too thick."
"Then apply for specialized explosives." Xie Hongli said.
Xu Qingmo suddenly said: "Let me try."
Xie Hongli looked at Xu Qingmo in astonishment: "They have hunting rifles."
"I know." Xu Qingmo said.
Xie Hongli lost her voice upon hearing this, looked into Xu Qingmo's eyes, thought, and then nodded.
Xu Qingmo strode towards the door of the secret room.
"Here you go!" The policeman passed the explosion-proof shield in his hand to Xu Qingmo.
"No, thank you." Xu Qingmo said, and then, he pushed open the heavy door to the secret room.
