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

Having landed a successful blow, Hu Han didn't hesitate at all. He pushed off with his feet and, like a hawk pouncing on its prey, rushed straight towards Zhao Zi!

In his calculations, as long as he could capture Zhao Zi as a hostage, he could escape unscathed today.

However, he secretly regretted it.

He doesn't understand!

My identity was so well hidden. I could have easily gotten close to Luo Haitang by using Zhao Zi and Luo Haitang's relationship, and then poisoned her... How did I get exposed?

Hu Han was both shocked and furious, but he had no time to think. His fingertips were only a few feet away from Zhao Zi's throat!

"Miss!!"

"Protect the young lady!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Bai and the remaining two guards were so shocked that their eyes widened in horror and their expressions changed drastically!

Who would have thought that this honest and unassuming man would suddenly attack someone like this?

Too close, too fast—this is terrible! Miss is in danger!

At this moment, Zhao Zi's mind went blank. She watched helplessly as the cold light carrying the threat of death approached, her body frozen in place, unable to move.

At this critical moment, Chen You's eyes suddenly sharpened, and with a barely perceptible flick of his wrist, a throwing knife shot out as a streak of light!

"puff!"

A muffled thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh suddenly rang out, followed by Hu Han's agonizing scream.

Hu Han's right hand, which had been firmly gripping the knife, was suddenly pierced through by a fine steel throwing knife, the tip of the blade protruding through his palm and spraying a blinding spray of blood.

The short knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Ahhh!" Hu Han grimaced in pain, his facial muscles contorted.

He clutched his crippled right hand, abruptly turned his head, and stared intently at Chen You with his triangular eyes filled with resentment.

He didn't know who this person was.

All I know is that this person ruined his big plan and has now seriously injured him!

This is simply unreasonable.

Chen You remained expressionless, his right hand once again resting on the scabbard at his waist, and another throwing knife whistled out!

This time, Hu Han was on guard. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his hand, he forcefully twisted his body and retreated rapidly, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

But because of the brief moment that Chen You bought, Bai Lao and the others, who were initially in a state of panic, finally came to their senses.

"How dare this traitor harm my lord!"

Old Bai's beard and hair stood on end, and his entire body erupted with terrifying energy.

His powerful aura as a third-rank martial artist was unmistakable at this moment, and the bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered into pieces instantly under the terrifying explosive force.

The old man took a step forward, instantly covering several meters, and with a violent roar of wind and thunder, punched Hu Han in the chest.

With nowhere to dodge, Hu Han could only grit his teeth and use his left arm to parry.

However, how could a third-rank martial artist's angry strike be easily countered?

With a sickening crack, Hu Han’s left arm snapped instantly.

Old Bai's punch, however, still possessed considerable force, slamming heavily into Hu Han's chest.

With a muffled thud of bones breaking, a large section of Hu Han's chest visibly caved in, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Before Hu Han could land, Bai Lao followed closely, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air, and unleashed several more violent punches.

Heavy punches rained down on Hu Han's face and body, each punch accompanied by a dull thud of flesh colliding.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

When Hu Han fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog, he was barely breathing.

His once honest face was now covered in bruises and swelling like a pig's head, with broken teeth spitting out blood, his chest caved in, and he had completely lost the ability to resist.

at the same time.

The Hu Han who had fallen to the ground suddenly developed strange wrinkles on his face.

It turned out that the human skin mask on Bai Lao's face had loosened and fallen off due to the violent and powerful impact of Bai Lao's attack.

Chen You's eyes narrowed, and he took a step forward, reaching out and tearing the mask, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, off.

Beneath the mask lies a completely different true face!

"It's Yang Shuqing!!" Zhao Zi exclaimed in surprise after seeing the face clearly, completely stunned.

Everyone present gasped in shock.

During this period, Yang Shuqing's wanted posters were everywhere in the city, and his portrait was plastered all over the streets and alleys. Therefore, everyone recognized the face of the wanted criminal on the wanted poster at a glance.

"Cough cough..."

After his true identity was exposed, Yang Shuqing coughed violently a few times, and blood foam mixed with fragments of internal organs kept gushing from his mouth.

He stared intently at Chen You, his eyes filled with resentment. However, his injuries were too severe, and his vision gradually blurred. His head lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.

"Take the injured away and treat them," Zhao Ziqiang suppressed his shock and quickly turned to instruct the remaining guards.

"Yes!!" The guards rushed over.

"Wait...wait a minute."

As Ma Feng was lifted onto the stretcher, his face was deathly pale. Enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, he looked at Chen You with shame and weakly called out, "Brother Chen... I was blind just now. It was my fault. I'm sorry..."

Seeing his miserable state, Chen You lost interest in arguing and said calmly, "Focus on healing your wounds!"

Hearing Chen You's words, Ma Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and let the guards carry him away.

After the wounded and Yang Shuqing's body were disposed of and taken away, the courtyard returned to quiet.

Old Bai wiped the blood from his fist, walked up to Chen You, his tightly furrowed brows filled with lingering fear: "Young Brother Chen, we owe you a great deal for your keen observation this time. I truly never imagined that this Hu Han was actually that scoundrel Yang Shuqing in disguise!!"

Zhao Zi, having recovered her composure, said with a grim expression, "I'm afraid... he's trying to exploit my trust in Hu Han to get close to my senior sister, and then seize the opportunity to strike!"

"I didn't expect him to be Yang Shuqing. I only saw him before, and his face looked strange, and he was acting suspiciously..."

Chen You said it deliberately.

"No matter what, I'm so grateful to you this time. I'm going to see my senior sister right away. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see Yang Shuqing's body."

As they spoke, Chen You noticed that Zhao Zi's affection for him was also increasing.

It quickly reached 61!

Come to think of it, I really did save her just now.

It's perfectly normal to develop feelings of goodwill towards someone who saves your life.

The rosary beads turned, displaying Zhao Zi's desires.

[Desire 1: Locate the Black Shark Gang members and capture them all. (Completion rewards 1000 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 2: The fish soup you cooked last night was delicious; I want to eat it again. (Completing this will earn you 50 Desire Points.)]

"The Black Shark Gang?"

Upon seeing the first desire, Chen You was startled.

That's a whopping 1000 desire points!

There are so many.

But then I thought about it again, and there are probably quite a few members in the Black Shark Gang.

Dealing with a large number of people naturally leads to a higher level of desire; isn't that normal?

After a while.

Luo Haitang's residence.

At this moment, Luo Haitang was cultivating in the courtyard. When she saw Yang Shuqing's body being carried in by Zhao Zi's men, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she was stunned.

"Senior sister, it's all thanks to your subordinate Chen You; he's the one who discovered the problem with the people around me..."

Zhao Zi gave a brief explanation.

Luo Haitang took a deep breath, looked at the corpse on the ground, and her eyes reddened.

He murmured, "Little brother, your great revenge has finally been achieved!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen You received the desire points from Luo Haitang.

A full 300.

And the favorability rating for him actually soared to 89!

[Luo Haitang's Desire: I want to reward you. (Completion will grant 30 Desire Points.)]

Are you trying to reward me again?

After weighing the options, Chen You decided that this time he wouldn't hold back.
