Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 115 The Murder

"Did we encounter any Heavenly Warriors?" Lin Xiufeng asked as he continued running in the direction Zhao Youyue's team had gone.

"We drove them away." Lin Qiru's tone was calm, as if the victory was nothing to brag about.

Lin Xiufeng said, "Look at Ren Xing and Fang Yuan, and I'll go support Zhao Youyue."

"Mmm." Lin Qiru agreed and changed direction without hesitation, running away, her long hair flying in the wind, slightly asymmetrical.

Lin Xiufeng noticed that some of the hair on the left side had been cut off during the previous battle.

'What kind of opponent is so powerful? How could they possibly damage Lin Qiru's hair?'

Lin Xiufeng was very surprised. After all, he had been stubbornly sparring with Lin Qiru for hundreds of matches, but they hadn't even touched a hair on each other's heads!

Lin Xiufeng was surprised, but he did not stop running.

He hadn't gone far on the water when he suddenly noticed a change in the force feedback from his feet.

If it was originally roughly equivalent to moving on water, then at this moment it is truly walking on water.

Lin Xiufeng was wondering what was going on when he saw the Heavenly Martial Souls locked in battle ahead.

Then, more and more.

These days, the martial spirits move around on the water's surface, rarely letting their feet sink into the water.

Lin Xiufeng glanced at the water and the ground in front and behind, but found no difference between them. However, the buoyancy of the water was obviously abnormal.

Lin Xiufeng was puzzled, but had no time to ponder it. He drew his sword to attack the approaching enemy, Tianwu Po.

But when he got closer, he discovered that the Heavenly Martial Soul was actually passively taking hits and parrying.

One of Tianwu Po's legs was unable to move and was being dragged along.

'Xiao You's resorting to her old tricks too...'

Lin Xiufeng stopped worrying about the battle between the Heavenly Martial Souls, but as he ran past two fighting Heavenly Martial Souls, he casually pulled one of them down to the ground.

The dozens of Heavenly Martial Souls who were fighting dispersed, and further ahead, there were two figures engaged in fierce combat.

Zhao Youyue raised her crimson Heavenly Martial Sword in front of her and fought the enemy to a standstill, even being forced to retreat.

'Is the enemy that powerful?' Lin Xiufeng was just wondering when he saw Zhao Youyue glance over, her expression relaxed, and her eyes were full of smiles.

'So they were also trying to lure the enemy away, feigning weakness to prevent them from escaping...'

Seeing Lin Xiufeng approaching from behind the enemy, Zhao Youyue's attack suddenly became fierce, causing her opponent to be overwhelmed and forced to retreat repeatedly.

Lin Xiufeng couldn't see the flow path of the Heavenly Martial Power within the female Heavenly Martial Warrior's body. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the female Heavenly Martial Warrior's tight-fitting top was actually made from the scales of a mutated beast from the Northern City.

The mutated beast's scales are infused with Heavenly Martial Power, creating a better concealing effect than Heavenly Martial Armor.

Lin Xiufeng had no choice but to gesture to Zhao Youyue.

While maintaining her offensive, Zhao Youyue couldn't attack too fiercely and scare her opponent away. At the same time, she looked at Lin Xiufei's posture description, which clearly indicated that she should destroy the enemy's soft scale armor!
"What's wrong with you!" Zhao Youyue was furious, feeling that Lin Xiufeng was being incredibly disrespectful to her!
But then I thought again, Lin Xiufeng doesn't seem like that kind of person.

'He said it was intuition, but is that just an excuse? Did the soft scale armor prevent him from grasping the position of the Heavenly Martial Heart...?'

Zhao Youyue had a guess in mind, but she didn't hesitate to activate the red-light Heavenly Martial Sword in her hand.

Poor opponent, who thought he was more skilled, was suddenly suppressed by Zhao Youyue.

Just as he was feeling immense pressure, he was shocked to see Zhao Youyue's sword thrusting towards him swiftly and continuously, like a red rain of swords. There was no time to block it, and he had to rely entirely on instinct to parry.

In just two seconds, Zhao Youyue pierced and cut through the female warrior's scales, causing them to scatter like flower petals.

The female warrior felt something was wrong with her body, but she was only focused on dealing with the rain of swords. She was under pressure and was ready to launch an unstoppable escape at any moment. She didn't have time to look down at herself.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly accelerated, and before he even arrived, he stretched out his left hand, and a ball of black light shot towards the female warrior's back!
Meteor Chasing the Moon suddenly exerted its force, instantly pulling Lin Xiufeng over.

The Black Light Heavenly Martial Sword pierced through the female Heavenly Martial Warrior's body in one strike. Lin Xiufeng hurriedly shouted:
"Sun and Moon Points!"

Zhao Youyue understood, and with a flash of sword light, she pierced through!
The female Heavenly Warrior hastily launched an attack that no one could stop, but it was too late. Her Heavenly Martial Heart was attacked, and the Heavenly Martial Power accumulated in her body leaked out wildly!
"Why is this happening..." The female warrior never understood until her death.

But Lin Xiufeng was already used to hearing such questions.

The vast majority of the Heavenly Martial Power was absorbed by Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue, with each of them absorbing nine layers.

The remaining Heavenly Martial Power scattered in all directions. The group of Heavenly Martial Souls who were fighting were all pleasantly surprised.

However, the enemies of the Tianwu Group only enjoyed their joy for a short while, because they were about to die.

None of them can escape.

"Qin Yong said there were at most three Heavenly Martial Warriors. I took care of one, and when I came here, I ran into Lin Qiru who said she had driven one away..."

Before Lin Xiufeng could finish speaking, Zhao Youyue made a sarcastic remark.

"Oh! Lin Qiru came looking for you right after driving off the enemy?"

"She came to see you, and I told her I was coming instead. I told her to go and see Renxing and Fangyuan, and see what kind of heart you have—"

Lin Xiufeng shook his head and sighed, but suddenly remembered that Lin Qiru's hair had been cut off.

"Ah—" Zhao Youyue said with some shame, "It's my fault for being so petty. I didn't expect her to care about me the most. I thought she would be willful."

"We all know how much effort Renxing puts into her, so how could Lin Qiru not know? Putting that aside, she's probably the most compatible with you, right?"

As soon as Lin Xiufeng finished speaking, he saw Ren Xing, Lin Qiru, and Fang Yuan rushing over from afar.

And the Heavenly Martial Souls they led joined the battle, besieging those Heavenly Martial Soul enemies who had difficulty moving their legs.

When they met up, Lin Xiufeng noticed that Ren Xing looked depressed, and Zhao Youyue noticed it too, asking him with concern.

He stubbornly replied, "It's nothing!"

"What happened? We're worried about you." Zhao Youyue became even more concerned.

"What's there to worry about! I said I'm fine, so I'm fine!"

His willful tone suddenly became very impatient.

Seeing that her unpredictable temper had flared up again, Zhao Youyue became somewhat angry and said:
"Fine! We'll talk about it when you're ready. I won't ask anymore, okay? I shouldn't have made my concern a burden to you. I was wrong!"

"..." He remained silent, seemingly oblivious.

Lin Xiufeng stopped asking and secretly questioned Renxing's reaction.

It's like when someone has made a mistake, feels embarrassed and doesn't want to talk about it, and doesn't want Fang Yuan and Lin Qiru to talk about it, that they will show this kind of aggression.

Fang Yuan indeed refused to mention it.

Lin Qiru watched the ripples on the water's surface as the torrential rain fell.

Lin Xiufeng looked at the water and said, "The buoyancy of this body of water is very strange, it's exceptionally strong."

Fang Yuan absorbed the Heavenly Martial Power surrounding his feet, and when his feet were submerged in the water, the buoyancy was enough to support him.

"It's really strange."

"Let's spread out and look around, maybe we'll find something."

Lin Xiufeng and his group walked back and forth in the water.

But in this area with its strange buoyancy, there weren't even any mutated fish swimming around.

"How strange..." Lin Xiufeng was wondering when a group of Heavenly Martial Souls came shouting and looking for him.

Before long, Qin Yong and several other groups also gathered over.

Qin Yong said with great joy:

"I've heard about it! You took down three Heavenly Warriors, Fantian and Nitian! Impressive! These three were the ones who had been ambushing and hunting the mutated fish!"

A martial artist looked at Renxing with a complicated expression and said:

"The Blood Hand Puppet is too fierce! In order to kill the heaven-defying martial artist, it actually used its unstoppable attack to chase him for a full thirteen seconds!"

The crowd erupted in uproar...

He maintained a nonchalant, indifferent expression...

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue understood; this was what it meant to be willful, unhappy, and unwilling to talk about.
