Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 24 Sister Yin is really amazing

"How could you... how could you be in cahoots with Triangle Eyes!"

Zhao Youyue was trembling with anger. She never expected people to be so wicked. The kind older sister she thought she knew turned out to be in cahoots with the triangular-eyed man!

Why would they be used as bait?!
They were tricked into falling behind so they could easily rob them!

"That's not very good of you. I love your wit and courage! Let's forget about the triangular-eyed guy. Handing over the stuff will be your joining fee."

However, at this moment, Zhao Youyue could no longer trust this 'kind older sister' in front of her!

It's naive to be fooled once, but it's truly foolish to be fooled by the same person again and again.

"Do you think you can still fool me?"

Zhao Youyue gripped the sword tightly, raised it, and her eyes were filled with rage.

Meng Ge sneered, "That thing in your hand is only good for chopping tree branches and clearing a path, it's utterly useless against the Heavenly Martial Soul! Only the power of the Heavenly Martial Soul can break the power of the Heavenly Martial Soul, understand? You idiot!"

Anger flashed in Sister Yin's eyes. She took a deep breath to suppress her emotions.

The woman next to Meng Ge grabbed him and pulled him back a bit, scolding him:

"Why are you so talkative! And you're even teaching them?"

"What are you afraid of, two little brats?" Meng Ge remained unconvinced.

A flash of anger crossed Sister Yin's eyes. She shrugged and said to Zhao Youyue:

"Look, Meng Ge is such a fool! But you guys are young and clever, and you really have potential in this dog-eat-dog world! I admire you, so work hard with me from now on, and you'll have a bright future."

"Dream on! I would never associate with someone like you!"

Zhao Youyue wanted nothing more than to kill Sister Yin, how could she possibly go along with her!

Lin Xiufeng is truly grateful to this "Brother Meng"!
Otherwise, Zhao Youyue would subconsciously rely on weapons, and once she made a move, she would inevitably lose her hand first.

If you only realize what's happening when the moment arrives and then discard your sword, the difference between defeating an enemy and being defeated yourself might just be the difference between taking down an enemy and being taken down.

"Calm down, don't rush to refuse. We wanted to follow Sister Yin in the first place!"

Lin Xiufeng tried to persuade Zhao Youran, deliberately applying pressure to her shoulder.

Zhao Youyue, who was about to retort in anger, received the signal and fell silent.

Lin Xiufeng then turned to Sister Yin and said:
"If Sister Yin doesn't mind what happened to those four people with triangular eyes, then of course we're willing."

"However, Sister Yin, you don't mind if I ask about your strength, do you?"

"Hey, we heard about the different levels of Heavenly Martial Soul on the way here, but we don't know which level is considered powerful. We're just curious."

Sister Yin already knew that Lin Xiufeng was extremely dishonest and much more cunning than Zhao Youyue.

They clearly wanted to find out about their strength.

However, Sister Yin didn't care; the two newcomers were no match for them at all.

Furthermore, to subdue them, one would need to demonstrate strength.

At this moment, Meng Ge had already grabbed a piece of ice with his bare hands and smashed it onto the polished ice surface.

Then, he grabbed another piece of ice from the ground with his bare hands and smashed it onto another smooth ice surface.

Sister Yin smiled and said:
“I am at the eighth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul, so people usually give me face. Brother Meng is at the sixth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul, and his strength is outstanding. They are all at the fifth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul.”

The woman next to Meng Ge chimed in:

"Who in the Tianwu Po area doesn't know Sister Yin?"

"Why do you think no one else is eyeing you today? It's because Sister Yin has taken a liking to you. Who else would dare to snatch you away from the Heavenly Martial Souls?"

"My god! Sister Yin is so amazing! She's already at the eighth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul Realm! She'll be a Heavenly Martial Warrior soon!"

Lin Xiufeng was overjoyed and excitedly exclaimed, then quickly turned to Zhao Youyue and said:

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. There's nothing to be afraid of if you follow Sister Yin from now on!"

"What's this little thing? We're not injured!"

"Listen to me, go and get the backpack."

While persuading her, Lin Xiufeng gently pushed Zhao Youyue toward her backpack in the snow at the edge of the cliff.

"But Sister Yin lied to us!"

Zhao Youyue spoke in a reluctant tone.

There's no need to pretend; she wouldn't have wanted to in the first place.

"Don't fuss over the details. We're just two people at the zero level of the Heavenly Martial Soul realm, and we've been taken in by such a strong team as Sister Yin. What are you still complaining about? Be good—"

As Sister Yin and her group watched them talk, they walked to their backpacks.

Seeing that Zhao Youran was still holding a sword, Lin Xiufeng took one away, disassembled it, and put it away.

"Put away your weapons, okay? I'll put away the bow too."

Finally, Lin Xiufeng turned to Sister Yin and shouted:
"Sister Yin, wait a minute, I'll pick up the bow and put the weapon away. Xiao You is alright, I'll be able to calm her down right away!"

"We're waiting for you." Sister Yin smiled warmly, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Xiufeng.

Seeing Zhao Youyue's reluctant expression and pout, Lin Xiufeng secretly praised her for her good acting.

"Okay, here you go, give me this sword too, you take the bag."

"Hmph!" Zhao Youyue pretended to be unwilling, but was forced to bend down and pick up her backpack.

Lin Xiufeng swiftly disassembled the longsword's handguard. The handguard extended section by section, and the folding pieces at the ends snapped and locked, allowing the slender blade to fold inwards. The hilt also served as a grip, and with the lock closed, it became a trekking stick. Finally, he tucked it into the side of his backpack.

Lin Xiufeng slung his bag over his shoulder, saw Zhao Youyue standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down, and turned to shout to Sister Yin:

"Sister Yin, wait a moment, let me talk to her some more."

Lin Xiufeng went to Zhao Youyue's side and asked her in a low voice:
"are you ready?"

"Is this okay? It's just one shovel?"

Looking at the large shovel that the combination tool had transformed into, Zhao Youyue felt a lack of confidence.

"Don't be afraid, carry your backpack. I'm in front."

"Trust me with yourself when it comes to skiing! You should carry the backpack."

"Ready—"

As Lin Xiufeng spoke softly, Sister Yin sensed something was amiss and stepped towards them.

Just as I passed by the snowman, I heard Lin Xiufeng count to three.

"Catch them—"

Sister Yin rushed out, her outstretched right hand narrowly missing the bag on Lin Xiufei's back.

The voice of "Three" rang out.

Zhao Youyue immediately grabbed the short handle of the shovel and sat down.

Lin Xiufeng sat close to Zhao Youyue on the shovel, gripping the short handle.

The large shovel slid down the ice cliff.

The steep ice cliff face, after sliding down for a short while, has protruding ice rocks.

Zhao Youyue has extensive skiing experience and had planned this section of the route moments before.

She calmly gripped the short handle, adjusted her center of gravity, and used her legs to exert force, managing to dodge in time.

The rate of decline is accelerating!
Zhao Youyue said urgently, "Don't grab the short handle! It's getting in my way!"

"Then where should I grab it?"

"Don't grab the short handle! Let go!"

Seeing that the direction ahead needed to be adjusted continuously, Zhao Youyue's voice became even more urgent.

Lin Xiufeng quickly let go, feeling as if he was about to fall backward. He quickly grabbed Zhao Youyue, not caring where he was holding her, and hurriedly used his strength to hold on and stabilize his body.

"Where are you going to grab me?!"

Zhao Youyue was both angry and anxious.

Lin Xiufeng realized something was wrong and quickly moved his right hand down to hug her waist.

Zhao Youyue didn't have time to lash out; in that short time, she dodged three protruding surfaces in succession.

She also had to observe the terrain below and plan the sliding route in advance.

Before long, Zhao Youyue saw that something was bound to fly up ahead.

"You're going too fast! Help me slow down!"

Lin Xiufeng quickly used his feet to slow down.

The large shovel flew up and was thrown into the air!
Lin Xiufeng hugged him even tighter.

Zhao Youyue, on the contrary, became increasingly calm.

When the shovel fell again, it did not exceed Zhao Youyue's expectations, and she became more and more confident.

Have they caught up with us?

Seeing that there was no danger ahead, Zhao Youyue became worried about the pursuers behind her.

Lin Xiufeng turned her head and looked at him for a moment.

"We didn't see them. They wouldn't risk that much just to chase us!"

"That's good, we can skate more steadily now."

Zhao Youyue felt relieved.

At this moment, Sister Yin, who was on the summit, was furious and out of control, shouting and yelling down the ice cliff.

"You damned brat! Come back! Come back here!"

"You can't escape! You can run for a while, but you can't run forever!"

"Once I catch you, I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead!"

Meng Ge and the other four people behind him remained silent, trembling with fear. No one dared to persuade them, for fear of going up and incurring bad luck.

The two skated for a while longer. Lin Xiufeng turned her head to look again, but the summit was only an outline. She suggested:
"Why don't we put our palms together and try to become the Armadillo King? They can't see us from the summit anymore, we're so far away."

Seeing that the slope ahead was not very dangerous and not nearly as steep as before, Zhao Youyue freed her hand and raised it above her right shoulder.

Lin Xiufei extended her right palm and pressed it down.
