Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 23 Hunter, Prey

The four men with triangular eyes, who had come with great momentum, walked up to the summit from the direction they had turned back down the mountain, heading straight for Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue.

"coming."

Zhao Youyue tensed up and reached out to the snowman.

"Don't worry."

Lin Xiufeng whispered a word of dissuasion, then drew back the assembled recurve bow and fired another arrow downwards.

"It's crooked!" Zhao Youyue shouted in agreement.

When the group of four with triangular eyes stopped, a snowman stood between them and Lin Xiufeng.

Lin Xiufeng was drawing his bow and arrow, searching for targets outside the cliff, seemingly unaware of them at all.

Zhao Youyue turned her head casually, then jumped in surprise and exclaimed:
"Lin Xiufeng!"

Lin Xiufeng then turned around, looking anxious, and asked:
"What's wrong with you?"

"Hand over all the food, clothes, and useful tools and weapons in your bags."

Among the group, there was a short, stocky man of ordinary appearance who seemed to be the leader and spoke first.

The man with the triangular eyes sized up Zhao Youyue, his lewd gaze undisguised, and added:

"Take off all your clothes and bring them over! Hey, nice girl, from now on you'll be fine following us, you won't be bullied."

"I think if I follow you guys, I'll just have to get bullied by you every day!"

Zhao Youyue was very disdainful. These four ugly freaks, who weren't even as tall as her, were so wicked. They were like toads trying to eat swan meat!

"If you're obedient, I'll cherish and love you; if you're not, I'll bully and humiliate you."

Wow, it actually sounds pretty good!

The other two people smiled mockingly, completely disregarding the two newcomers.

Lin Xiufei looked flustered and spoke somewhat incoherently.

"But, but we don't have any! We don't have any food or extra clothes. We were tricked away by people who used the guise of a seaside home when we came here."

"Look at you, so cowardly!" Zhao Youyue chided angrily.

She felt like she was becoming a drama queen in order to cooperate with Lin Xiufeng.

Fortunately, at that moment, she saw Sister Yin and her group of six walking out from beside the ice stone.

The man with the triangular eyes seemed to sense something amiss from Zhao Youyue's gaze. He suddenly turned his head, glanced at her, and shouted angrily:
"Great! There's an ambush! Let's take them down!"

Zhao Youyue was full of doubts. Her gaze was fixed on the four people in front of her, not on Sister Yin and the others!

'Where did I go wrong? How did he notice?'

But the enemy had already made their move and had no time to think about it!

The four people took a step and landed on the ice, only to slip immediately.

Three people lost control and fell forward. One was forced into a split and hurriedly braced himself with his hands, but the smooth ice surface still made it difficult for him to put weight on it!
The man maintained his splits position, slid forward, and passed by Lin Xiufeng, hurriedly reaching out to grab him for leverage.

The man was surprised to find that the panic on Lin Xiufeng's face had disappeared, and he looked at her as if she were a fool.

Lin Xiufeng stepped back and kicked the enemy who passed by.

The force propelled the man forward, sending him hurtling off the icy cliff. His terrified screams faded into the distance...

One less enemy.

After Lin Xiufei spun around and kicked, the arrow she was holding shot towards the back of the head of another person who had fallen!

The opposing team has many members, their strength is unknown, and they are full of malice.

The pressure made Lin Xiufeng not think twice, and he instinctively aimed for the most dangerous spots!
The arrow struck its target!
However, when it hit the target, it made a striking sound and the arrow bounced off!

And the spot where it hit only seemed to break the scalp?

Lin Xiufeng was secretly surprised by the Heavenly Martial Soul's ability to withstand blows, but he did not hesitate for a moment before swinging the bow in his hand.

The person who rushed forward and fell was hit in the back of the head by an arrow, and only felt a blow to the head.

The man had no time to pay attention; he struggled against the sliding force and finally stopped when he reached the edge of the cliff!

The man breathed a sigh of relief, only to be suddenly struck on the back of the head by a recurve bow!

He felt his head buzzing and didn't understand what was happening for a moment.

When she finally came to her senses, she was shocked to find herself spinning in mid-air… “Aaaaaah—”

The second enemy was hurled off the ice cliff by Lin Xiufeng's recurve bow.

Enemy number reduced by two.

As Lin Xiufeng made his move, Zhao Youyue swiftly grabbed the two sword hilts on the snowman's belly with both hands.

With a flash of light, the sword pierced the backs of two enemies who slipped and fell forward!

Swift and precise!
The sword tip encountered great resistance as soon as it pierced the skin, and could not penetrate further!
'A topological nano-Dalstone sword with a Mohs hardness exceeding 50% of diamond and a Vickers hardness of 9,000!'

'It won't go in!'

At that moment, Zhao Youyue truly experienced the capacity of her cells to withstand the power of the Heavenly Martial Force!

She then realized just how powerful a superhuman the evolved Tianwu Po was!
Zhao Youyue pushed the sword with all her might, but the tip of the sword could not advance an inch.

The two people who had fallen were slid forward by the sword, and Zhao Youran focused on thrusting the sword in, following along without thinking.

He hadn't gone more than a few steps when the tip of his sword suddenly lost its resistance.

Zhao Youyue suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was standing on the edge of a cliff.

The two men, pressed against the sword tips, were pushed off the icy cliff and screamed in terror as they plummeted to their deaths!

'I... I killed someone...'

Zhao Youyue swayed and almost fell.

Lin Xiufeng reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and reminding her:

"Grip your sword firmly and step back!"

Zhao Youyue was pulled back to the snowman by Lin Xiufeng. Lin Xiufeng placed his hands on her arms and whispered:
"Calm down immediately! Our crisis is not over yet!"

"Huh?" Zhao Youran was confused. There were enemies?

Then she saw Meng Ge squatting behind the snowman, touching the smooth, mirror-like ice surface, and saying with a smile:
"Those two little rascals are really cunning! They were just pretending to ski, and they had a frosted surface on the back of their shovels to make the ice so slippery."

The tone, the choice of words...

Zhao Youyue was both shocked and furious, and for a moment she was so angry that her voice trembled.

"Sister Yin, why is Brother Meng swearing..."

Sister Yin's smile still looked warm, and her tone remained gentle.

"That's just how Meng is, you'll get used to it."

"Sister Yin! What are you doing playing house with them? They've already taken down the Triangle! If we don't give them a good beating today, we'll be letting our brothers down!"

Meng Ge never liked that kind of long-winded talk. If it weren't for Sister Yin's insistence on making things complicated, the four of them wouldn't have ended up in this mess.

Now that all his plans have failed, he doesn't want to keep dawdling.

Anger flashed in Sister Yin's eyes. She took a deep breath, slapped Brother Meng across the face, and angrily shouted:
"Is it so hard to shut up? Can't you even use your brain? You're as stupid as a pig!"

"Are you brainless or doing this on purpose?! You've left me completely speechless!"

As Sister Yin spoke, she slapped Brother Meng across the face!
Meng Ge was clearly angry at being beaten, but he didn't dare to retaliate. Instead, he lowered his head.

"Weren't you always so talkative? Why are you so quiet now?"

"I'm asking you—was this done on purpose?!"

Sister Yin slapped him harder, her gentle demeanor from moments before vanished, and she had become a violent maniac who seemed to be mentally unstable!
"I didn't mean to think the plan had failed."

Meng Ge was unwilling, but dared not refuse to answer.

The woman next to Meng Ge only dared to speak kindly after Yin Jie vented for a while.

"Sister Yin, don't be angry. Brother Meng has always been a bit thoughtless. Don't scare the little brothers and sisters."

Sister Yin took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and put on a warm smile again.

His tone also returned to its previous gentleness.

"Xiao You, don't be afraid. Your sister Yin is just a bit silly, I'm not usually like this."
