Chapter 19: Blood Shadow’s Elusion
“What, you have nothing to say? Then you’re admitting you’re guilty!” At this moment, Qin Biao saw Qin Yu was silent and stepped forward, taking the opportunity to say something.
Qin Yu smiled, laughing weirdly. “Which ear did you hear that this young master was going to plead guilty?”
Qin Biao suddenly raised his voice and said, “Your silence is already tacit approval, so do I still need to listen?”
“If you want to blame me, what can I say? However, I just want you to know that this young master has no interest in such a rubbish woman. Just looking at her is dirtying my eyes. But would you guys believe that?”
“Ha! Of course I don’t believe that! Everyone knows how much you admired Miss Wushuang before and how you followed her every day. Even if I believe your words, other people wouldn’t.”
What Qin Zhao said was true. Qin Yu had no choice but to admit that the previous Qin Yu truly was infatuated and head over heels in love with Lu Wushuang, as if he had never seen a woman before. But that was the former Qin Yu, the current Qin Yu truly felt disdain and contempt toward such a trashy woman.
Naturally, he couldn’t explain his situation to others and even if he did, very few would believe it.
“Since you don’t believe it, what do you want me to say?” Qin Yu spoke the words indifferently as he turned his body to look at Wang Murong behind him with a determined expression. “Miss Murong, I wish you well.”
Wang Murong’s delicate body trembled. From beginning to end, she had stood behind him and never said a word but in fact, she had always been thinking of a way to help Qin Yu escape from such a hopeless situation. In the end, she could only think of one way and that was to expose her identity to help Qin Yu. Once she showed them proof of her identity, nobody in the entire Qiongxi Country would dare to not give her face.
However, up til now, her whereabouts had always been kept hidden. Exposing her identity now was equivalent to revealing her location which would be extremely detrimental to her.
But she had no other choice. It was either help Qin Yu or watch Qin Yu die.
She had experienced it before when she saw Qin Yu unyieldingly stand there so proudly and arrogantly in Tie Shou’s Craftsman Shop and now, she was seeing it once again. She could tell by the resolute and determined expression on his face that if she didn’t step in now, anything could happen.
Wang Murong made a firm resolution. She couldn’t just continue to watch on helplessly as a talent was slain. She had to reveal her identity to save him. She stepped forward. First, she needed to calm Qin Yu. “Qin Xiong, calm down first. I have a way to help you.”
Qin Yu laughed before immediately shaking his head. “Miss Murong, many thanks but it’s not necessary.”
“Qin Xiong, please believe in me! I can help you!” Wang Murong emphasized her words and stepped in front of Qin Yu. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she swept her gaze through the crowd, which ultimately landed on Lu Wushuang.
Wang Murong’s beauty and temperament suddenly made countless young men feel a rush of excitement. After Wang Murong swept her gaze across the crowd, each and every one of them subconsciously fell quiet. They stared at the beautiful young woman as they let their imaginations roam freely.
“Everyone, please listen to me! I 1 am Wang Murong. I accompanied Qin Yu as a friend. My tent was set up right beside his, so I am especially clear as to what happened earlier between Qin Yu and Miss Wushuang.”
Wang Murong’s words made many people interested. They were all curious about the truth. Wang Murong was the only witness at the scene. They wanted to know what actually happened.
Wang Murong suddenly raised her voice. “She’s lying! What she said is slander!” Her words resonated crisply in the night sky, clearly spreading into every person’s ears.
“I can testify that Qin Yu didn’t commit any improper actions toward Lu Wushuang. What really happened was…”
“Shut up!” Lu Wushuang suddenly screamed, interrupting Wang Murong’s speech. She naturally couldn’t let Wang Murong reveal the truth. “Everyone, don’t listen to that slut! That woman is Qin Yu’s companion and they’re working together! Neither of them are good people! In fact, they’re the definition of a dog couple! Everyone, kill them together; exterminate evil for the good of everyone…!!!”
Lu Wushuang’s words were incomparably malicious and nobody in the crowd, including Wang Murong’s admirers moved. They thought that Lu Wushuang had gone a bit too far.
Qin Yu deserved death for sullying you, but Wang Murong didn’t sully you as well, right? So why are you going so far as to ruthlessly kill others? There were even some who questioned Lu Wushuang’s actions. Wang Murong was standing there and giving her testimony, but couldn’t even finish before being interrupted by Lu Wushuang who was yelling to kill her. Was this killing somebody to keep their mouth shut? If so, then it seemed like the truth wasn’t what they thought it was.
“Slut, just go die!”
Before Lu Wushuang could finish her words, a roar shook the night sky. The figure turned into a shadow that was similar to a ghost. Sounds of thunder rang in the air from the figure’s palm as he charged at her with the intent to kill.
Everyone was alarmed, their faces changing greatly.
“Qin Xiong, wait a moment!” Wang Murong wanted to block him, but it was already too late.
“Shuang’er, be careful!” Lu Jing shouted loudly while simultaneously throwing out a ferocious palm strike.
*Bang* Qin Yu’s palm strike hit Lu Wushuang’s body first. A painful scream sounded as Lu Wushuang’s body was sent flying into the night sky and over the crowd. Streaks of blood soon rained down from the sky.
The crowd was shocked by Qin Yu’s actions. This time while facing such a situation, they really hadn’t thought that Qin Yu would still dare to attack so fiercely. His guts were far beyond anyone’s expectations!
If Qin Chong had anticipated Qin Yu’s attack, he would’ve been capable of stopping Qin Yu. After all, he was a powerful Transformation Realm cultivator who stood near Lu Wushuang. However, he truly hadn’t expected Qin Yu to do such a thing and by the time he reacted, Qin Yu had already struck. Furthermore, Qin Yu’s speed was extremely fast and his footwork was also strange, which gave him no time to respond.
According to any normal person’s train of thought, if they still wanted some hope for survival, they should’ve acted meek. But instead, Qin Yu fought back.
