Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Everyone immediately became alert, and Gao He and Xu Youliang gripped their weapons tightly and stood in front of the convoy.

A group of people slowly emerged from the dark, tree-lined path.

The leader was a dark-skinned, thin young man with a pointed face and monkey-like features. Yet, he wore a priceless gold brocade robe and had a large jade pendant hanging from his waist, exuding an air of nouveau riche wealth.

Beside the young man in brocade stood a man dressed in black robes, holding a sword in his arms.

The black-haired man had an extraordinary air about him; his eyes were slightly closed, giving him the air of a master.

"Haha! Brother Wang You truly lives up to his nickname, 'Invincible Wind-Listening Blade,' his hearing is superb!"

As the young man in brocade robes walked, he loudly flattered the man beside him, "I didn't expect you to actually be in this valley, able to hear so many people from so far away!"

The black-clad man, known as Wang You, smiled slightly, revealing a hint of arrogance: "Of course. Young Master Shen, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and negotiate with them! I'm sure they know the way."

Shen Wanqian was taken aback upon hearing this. He glanced at the menacing Salt Gang members opposite him and hesitated before saying, "This... Brother Wang, those people over there look fierce and are not easy to mess with. How about... I go over and talk to them politely? I'll just give them some more silver. It's just a matter of pointing out the way."

Upon hearing this, Wang You's face immediately fell, and he coldly snorted, "Does Young Master Shen think that I, the Invincible Wind Blade, don't have the face in this martial world? A mere group of passersby dare to disrespect me?"

"No, no, no... Everyone knows that Brother Wang is a master among men, but..."

As Shen Wanqian was speaking, by the light of the torch, he clearly saw two enormous creatures, each as thick as a water vat, lying haphazardly at the feet of the group opposite him!

Those were two giant steel pythons, dead beyond any doubt!

Even more terrifying is that the heads of these two enormous venomous snakes were cleanly and efficiently severed!

Thick, black blood was still gushing from the smooth, mirror-like cut.

"this…………"

Shen Wanqian gasped, his lips twitched violently a few times, and his legs inexplicably felt weak.

It's obvious that there's an extremely terrifying and top-tier expert among that group of people!

It is said that the Invincible Blade of the Wind has poor eyesight and cannot see very far, but his ears are exceptionally sharp. Now that I see it, it is indeed true.

If Wang You were to see two giant snakes dead there, he would probably have to think twice.

"Brother Wang... Brother Wang..." Shen Wanqian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, chuckled dryly, and tugged at Wang You's sleeve, "How about we just forget about it? Let's not go and cause trouble..."

Shen Wanqian regretted coming over.

If there's a tough guy on the other side, what if you foolishly go over there and he's difficult to talk to?

Although his side has decent combat strength, they haven't found the rare treasure yet, and he doesn't want to waste manpower here.

But at this moment, Wang You was immersed in his arrogance and self-satisfaction.

In addition, he was extremely nearsighted and didn't see the two giant snakes not far away at all.

He waved his hand and said, "No need for further words, Young Master Shen, just watch and see. I'm going to meet them!"

After saying that, Wang You pressed the sword at his waist and strode towards Chen You, Gao He, and the others.

Seeing the black-robed man approaching with his hand on his knife, the Salt Gang members tensed up instantly, quickly huddled together, drew their swords, and stared at him warily.

Tang Yan stood beside Chen You, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at Wang You, who was walking over on his own. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This person... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Chen You turned her head and raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Who is he?"

"I remember now!" Tang Yan clapped her hands and whispered, "Tingfeng Dao, Wang You! He's a wandering swordsman with some reputation in the martial arts world. It's said that he was born with extremely poor eyesight, almost blind, but his hearing is terrifying. He boasts that he can hear sounds from a thousand miles away clearly."

Upon hearing this, Chen You calmly asked, "Very strong???"

"Strong my foot!" Before Tang Yan could answer, Gao He couldn't help but sneer, lowering his voice, "Brother Chen, you don't know, I've heard of this guy too! The reason he's famous isn't because of his amazing swordsmanship, but because once when he was fighting with an enemy, he didn't see who he was fighting and actually injured his own men... Haha, so ever since then, nobody dares to team up with him, and he never goes out alone, for fear that this guy will suddenly go berserk and kill his own people!!"

Tang Yan nodded, unable to suppress a smile.

"So that's what the Listening Wind Blade is." Chen You felt relieved.

Gao He wiped his mouth and laughed, "But we're all from the same old world, we don't hit a smiling face, let's keep things peaceful."

Having said that, Gao He strode forward, clasped his hands in a polite gesture, and said, "Brother, please stop! I am Gao He, the leader of the Salt Gang. May I ask what brings you here?"

The man in black robes, Wang You, straightened his chest, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, his head slightly raised, a proud expression on his face: "I am Wang You, the Invincible Blade of the Wind! Behind me is the eldest young master of the Shen family in the provincial capital, Young Master Shen Wanqian! We have unfortunately lost our way in this great valley. Seeing that you all have a complete group, why don't you lead the way, and we can travel together?"

He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, even with a hint of condescending charity.

However, before Gao He could figure out how to refuse, Chen You, standing behind him, spoke coldly and bluntly: "Sorry, I don't want to team up."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere turned cold.

Chen You glanced indifferently at the group of men led by Shen Wanqian not far away.

There were quite a few people on the other side, and several of them exuded considerable power, indicating that there were many skilled fighters among them.

Therefore, in Chen You's view, agreeing to their request would simply be asking for trouble.

There must be a great treasure deep in this valley. If we bring along this group of wealthy families and martial arts masters with ulterior motives, we'll inevitably have to fight tooth and nail to seize the treasure if we find it later.

What's more... this "Invincible Blade of the Wind" in front of us has extremely poor eyesight, and when he goes berserk, he even cuts down his own people.

Having such a perpetually blind person by your side is simply asking for trouble.

Therefore, Chen You answered very decisively, without leaving any room for politeness.

"Huh??" Wang You was taken aback, frowning. "You haven't heard of me?"

Chen You couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He figured it out.

This King You of the Wind-Listening Blade is said to have excellent hearing, but in reality, it's just so-so.

After all, this person hadn't heard them whispering just now.

"I've heard about it, but I just heard about it."

"Hmph, ignorant." Wang You snorted coldly and said to Tang Yan, "I know your concerns, that you are worried we might do something to you. Please rest assured, both I and Young Master Shen are upright gentlemen."

Chen You said, "Even if you do this, I don't intend to cooperate."

"Huh? You really won't give me any face at all?" Wang You felt a little angry.

I am, after all, the invincible swordsman, King You of the Wind!

They didn't even give me face.

"Ahem..." At this moment, Shen Wanqian braced himself and led his men up, cupping his hands and saying, "Brothers, I am Shen Wanqian, and I am quite wealthy. As long as you take us with you, money is not a problem."

As he spoke, he prepared to take out his banknotes.

At this moment, Tang Yan whispered, "Chen You, the Shen family and my Luoyue Manor are on good terms. This Shen Wanqian is a reliable person, and we can cooperate."

"Understood."

Chen You nodded, agreeing that it would be for Tang Yan's sake.

"So it's Young Master Shen. Forget about the money. My friend Tang Yan said she knows you. Let's go together."

"Thank you!" Shen Wanqian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Tang Yan.

Feeling humiliated, Wang You snorted coldly and approached Tang Yan: "What's your name? See if I've ever heard of you!"

Tang Yan: "…………"

Tang Yan thought to herself, "Could this guy have mistaken someone's location?"

Chen You also had a strange expression on his face, and replied, "Chen You!"

"So it's Chen You." Wang You said to Tang Yan, "I've never heard of you before."

Then, he looked at Chen You and said, "Miss Tang Yan, I've heard you're from Luoyue Manor. I've heard so much about you!"

Chen You: "..."

Tang Yan: "..."

Not only them, but everyone else also figured it out.

This Wang You not only has poor eyesight, but his hearing is also just so-so!
