THE SCORPION TAIL NEEDLEWhen Qin Wan’er returned, the very much alert Qiu Yan had already awakened. Closely following those several footsteps that barely made any noise actually caused Qiu Yan to have reason for surprise. Xu Yun didn’t hear one bit of Crimson Scorpion’s appearance, perhaps because the naked as snow Qin Wan’er in front of him was dividing his attention.
“Heh heh, I hadn’t thought that after the event had happened so long ago, the venerated Fox would still be able to be so wholeheartedly dutiful.” Crimson Scorpion faintly laughed, then lightly said, “I am truly envious that Millennium Feng could have you as a helping hand.”
Qiu Yan’s angrily rebuked that vague silhouette of Crimson Scorpion before her in the midst of darkness. Even though by tonight she was certain that sooner or later Crimson Scorpion would find this location, but she hadn’t thought it would be that quick!
Crimson Scorpion continued, saying, “Who would have thought that after you took the 7-Absolute Palm you could still live? This is simply a miracle. Boss Blue Ghost at the moment feels sympathetic for you. As long as you submit, I think that he wouldn’t trouble you. We absolutely won’t pursue the matter of you killing Gong You and the other two.”
“You’re dreaming!” Qiu Yan’s entire body was tense. Her gaze didn’t have a trace of daring to leave Crimson Scorpion; even though she was ready to die, she absolutely wasn’t about to retreat half a step.
Even though Crimson Scorpion’s face seemed calm, but his body also didn’t drop a bit of alertness. He was very clear that even though Qiu Yan was injured, she was still a 1st-tier elite. “Venerated Fox, what I was supposed to say I have said. If you don’t know how to appreciate favors, then don’t blame me, Crimson Scorpion for dropping my nice face.”
Qiu Yan coldly laughed. “I also want to see what skills you have!”
Negotiations broke down, and in Qiu Yan’s hands appeared a thread of silver shine – the supple Dragon Abyssal Blade explosively shot out like an arrow for a frontal a.s.sault towards Crimson Scorpion! Crimson Scorpion had long prepared for Qiu Yan’s attack, and he suddenly jumped backwards, directly stomping on the hallway window sill. With a dark laugh he flipped backwards out, his whole body landed softly on the ground.
Crimson Scorpion just landed, and Qiu Yan already leapt out from the window. She didn’t want to exchange blows with Crimson Scorpion in the building, as she was worried of wounding the others.
“Venerated Fox, you’re determined to fight?” Crimson Scorpion coldly smiled. Qiu Yan’s lightning attack just now indeed gave him a bit of fear, after all, Blue Ghost personally said that she had taken the 7-Absolute Palm. Why would she still be able to have such fast movements?
Qiu Yan had already recovered a lot from Xu Yun’s Nine Revolutions Revival Pills, only she was clear about this matter – even though it couldn’t be said it was completely cured, but at the very least it recovered 90% of her fighting strength.
“I will slowly settle the debt with Millennium Feng with you all.” From within Qiu Yan’s body, boundless killing aura suddenly exploded. A few days ago when Gong You and those little shrimps came, she completely didn’t have the ability to emit strength, but right now was different.
Crimson Scorpion was shocked inside – how was this like someone who took a hit from the 7-Absolute Palm? No wonder those three guys would lose here!
The supple Dragon Abyssal Blade in the light of the night was like it was veiled, hiding. Containing Qiu Yan’s bitingly cold killing aura, the Dragon Abyssal became a cold force that threatened people, as though Qiu Yan’s body had been draped over with a demon’s semblance. This was the power of a 1st-tier elite of the Underworld!
“Hmph.” Crimson Scorpion put away the smile, and his two cold eyes became exceedingly harsh, and shone like electric. “Since you’re so uncooperative, then I have no choice…..”
Two 1st-tier elites suddenly attacked with force like the Yellow River’s waters falling from heaven!
The supple blade in Qiu Yan’s hands moved like a silver serpent, moving with a whoosh towards Crimson Scorpion’s vitals, with the tip of the blade leaving behind images like abstract art. Crimson Scorpion keenly evaded. Even though it looked dangerous, not one blade landed.
Suddenly Crimson Scorpion flipped backwards out, his two hands suddenly spread out with his arms, and from two directions two sharp tips flew out from his hands! Qiu Yan’s face was shocked, and quickly pulled back several paces, with the supple Dragon Abyssal Blade blocking her front. Crimson Scorpion’s hidden weapons directly hit the body of Qiu Yan’s blade with a *~pah*, banging out fiery sparks.
Qiu Yan’s face changed, these were the Scorpion Tail Needles!
This was Crimson Scorpion’s hidden weapon that made him famous in the Underworld. After forty nine days of feeding the poison to the needles, they would be thoroughly soaked in venom. The toxicity of these needles was no trifling thing – just sticking onto skin it could make people seem like they were dead, and to pierce through skin was even more sufficient to kill. To have the body pierced by a needle someone fundamentally had no chance of surviving.
“Venerated Fox, since you don’t know how to appreciate favors then I don’t need to be polite with you.” Crimson Scorpion’s voice was cold and dark, as though it came from h.e.l.l. “You really think that because Blue Ghost esteems your abilities that I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
Even though just now was a short round, but Qiu Yan was very clear that she was absolutely not a worthy opponent to Crimson Scorpion. She had just used all her might, but had no way of coming close to wounding Crimson Scorpion, and Crimson Scorpion easily threw his Scorpion Tail Needles and she was forced to retreat from her all-out attack.
Just in that brief moment, Qiu Yan was thinking of how she could restrict Crimson Scorpion’s Scorpion Tail Needles fed with poison, and Crimson Scorpion suddenly launched a frontal attack! His terrifying side was his right leg – this was the place he truly launched his Scorpion Tail Needles!
Crimson Scorpion jumped soaring along with several cold needles flying out, and his whole body landed like it could crush Mt. Tai in a pounce!
Qiu Yan was alarmed, quickly dancing with the Dragon Abyssal in her hands at several lightning flashes, the ringing chaos of steel colliding made her not even know how many Scorpion Tail Needles she was blocking with her blade. Even like this she had no way to intercept a poisonous needle coldly sc.r.a.ping across her ear!
Impatiently Qiu Yan quickly stepped to the left, dodging the remaining Scorpion Tail Needles that she hadn’t blocked. She was very aware of her abilities – perhaps even if she was fully healed it was very hard to guarantee that she could evade all of the Scorpion Tail Needles of an attack! These kinds of poisonous needles were simply too small, the speed was simply too fast!
Facing these kinds of dangerous hidden weapons like Scorpion Tail Needles, what was best!?
Suddenly Qiu Yan felt a ma.s.sive pain from her left side! Solely focused on avoiding the Scorpion Tail Needles, Crimson Scorpion launched a right palm strike containing internal energy and her whole body was interrupted for a breath. Quickly retreating several paces, with her meridians in disarray, Qiu Yan had a mouthful of sweet, fresh blood rush up.
“Hmph hmph….” Crimson Scorpion proudly laughed. “Everyone knows that I, Crimson Scorpion’s Scorpion Tail Needles have unparalleled poison, and people that are hit are absolutely dead, but everyone overlooks I, Crimson Scorpion’s other skills eh? Hahaha, venerated Fox, actually my palm techniques and fist techniques also are not at all weak.”
Qiu Yan indeed hadn’t thought that with hidden weapons as good as Crimson Scorpion’s, he would have such harsh palm techniques. Inside she secretly regretted, but right now everything was already too late. Her forcing herself would absolutely be unable to block 20 moves from Crimson Scorpion.
“But right now you knowing is no use, because you’re about to turn into a dead person!” Crimson Scorpion again rose up forcing his way over – his fist and palm with howling wind directly headed towards Qiu Yan’s front.
Qiu Yan strongly forced down a mouthful of blood, and again and again retreated in evasion. The supple Dragon Abyssal blade in her hand also quickly waved into a dance – even though she was losing, but Qiu Yan still didn’t give up the attack.
But Crimson Scorpion’s attacks were like a tide becoming more and more fierce. Each time Crimson Scorpion raised his right leg, it would be followed with Scorpion Tail Needles flying out and Qiu Yan was finally overwhelmed with no escape, but still had poisonous needles swiping open her skin.
By now Qiu Yan already had no energy to think about her life or death. She didn’t care about her own life, but she cared about GuoGuo’s fate……
Boom-! Dodging poisonous needles, Qiu Yan’s chest again took another palm. She rapidly completely retreated, with footprints in the ground drawing out a path of obscure marks. Qiu Yan told herself she absolutely couldn’t go down. Once she fell down she would turn into Crimson Scorpion’s target for needles, and she directly would be turned into a pincushion by Scorpion Tail Needles!
Qiu Yan’s mind only flashed one thought: Xu Yun!!! Just what are you doing!?!
Qiu Yan practically used all of her strength to again dodge ten Scorpion Tail Needles, closely followed with her body again taking a punch. Her hands slackened, and the Dragon Abyssal Supple Blade directly clattered onto the floor! This time she really couldn’t do it – a mouthful of blood rushed up from her heart and she directly spat it out.
Those who practice martial arts all understand that once they have no way of suppressing a mouthful of blood, then they will soon be defeated and fall to the ground.
Qiu Yan’s body already was scratched with wounds from who knows how many times by Scorpion Tail Needles. With the poison already starting invading her body, that she could persist up till now already far exceeded what ordinary people could accomplish. Finally Qiu Yan’s legs went soft, no longer able to support her own body.
Crimson Scorpion coldly laughed, “So the venerated Violent Fox was only this much. Hmph, seeing that you in the Underworld were also considered a first-cla.s.s person, today I’ll give you some happiness…..”
As he spoke, Crimson Scorpion suddenly soared in a leap, and his whole body somersaulted away. Suddenly lifting his leg up highly he loudly yelled, “Silver Needle Horde!”
Qiu Yan quietly closed her eyes. She was very clear with this move of Crimson Scorpion, she would become pincushioned by poisoned needles. Death was just death, and Qiu Yan only hoped that GuoGuo could escape from this disaster. Xu Yun, I believe in you…….
……
Xu Yun was naked in the bath tub, watching the just now “dressed the same” Qin Wan’er now bundled in a bath towel. With a head of cold sweat he asked, “Can you give me my clothes?”
Qin Wan’er had throbbing killing intent in her eyes. “……”
“Um, just giving me pants is fine.” Xu Yun said, trying again.
“……..” Qin Wan’er still stared at Xu Yun.
“Help with the underwear?” Xu Yun was about to weep, he wasn’t going to have to get up naked right?
Qin Wan’er gnashed her teeth saying, “Xu Yun, you are a pervert! I…… I absolutely won’t forgive you.”
“Can we settle the debt for this matter again tomorrow?” Xu Yun speechlessly said, “Outside a ‘guest’ has arrived, and it was your current fantasy that you wanted to arrest that wanted criminal.”
What?! Qin Wan’er’s exceeding expression of hate in her eyes just a moment ago immediately became flurried all of a sudden.
Xu Yun with a serious face said, “I swear, I absolutely didn’t guess incorrectly.”
Then why did he come here looking for trouble with Qiu Yan? Qin Wan’er’s expression was full of doubt, and why was Xu Yun so sure?
“Then, how about you first give me my pants?” Xu Yun again requested. “If you’re not willing to give it over, then can you stop staring at me? I’ll get shy.”
Pooh! You think your great aunt wants to look at you!? Qin Wan’er almost spit out blood, she hurriedly turned her head away to go. d.a.m.n Xu Yun! No matter what Qin Wan’er also decided to go back to wear clothes to take a look outside to see just who it was!
Regardless of whether or not it was an S-cla.s.s wanted criminal, Qin Wan’er also absolutely couldn’t let off this kind of thief that slipped into homes at midnight! In addition she also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to figure out just what kind of person Qiu Yan was in the end, and why were there so many enemies.
Qin Wan’er walked out, and Xu Yun immediately and handsomely left the bath. He already didn’t have time to wipe his body – directly grabbing pants to cover his lower body, he immediately rushed out. Xu Yun was very clear how dangerous Crimson Scorpion was. Qiu Yan who still hadn’t completely recovered from her serious injury was even more clear about how dangerous he was.
Just as Crimson Scorpion’s densely covered silver needles were on the verge of attacking Qiu Yan, Xu Yun pounced like lightning out of the window, his fist tight with bitingly cold Qi like an eagle striking with thunder smashed onto Crimson Scorpion’s right leg!
Boom——!
Crimson Scorpion was blasted out by the bang more than several meters out. His body heavily struck the st.u.r.dy side of a willow on the street, and the thick and solid willow that would be hard for a person to wrap around fell over with a loud bang!
