Chapter 29: Encircled.

There were shouts and screams everywhere as the demonic beasts howled painfully. The crimson tide of sword qi devastated the land.

When the crimson tide of sword qi finally dissipated, the dreadful act had finally finished.

Blood… there was blood everywhere. The blood of both humans and demonic beasts merged together as it slowly flowed down the yellow earthen streets.

The team of pursuers from the Yi Family were annihilated in an instant. Many of the remaining pursuers were left injured. Only a few experts had escaped unscathed.

Seeing the ground filled with bloody corpses, the crowd was filled with terror. So people who were from the land above were actually this frightening?

The leader of the Yi Family group of pursuers seethed with anger, roaring for Qin Yu’s body to be dismembered into ten thousand pieces. However, there was no sign of Qin Yu anywhere. Qin Yu had long since disappeared down the street along with the chariot. Even Ruo Ji had disappeared too.

On the outskirts of the Demonic City was a dark cave. Qin Yu, Ruo Ji, Mu Rongyue and Yi Fei were hiding inside.

The girl named Yi Fei was wounded. A sharp arrow had pierced through her shoulder from behind and the pain had made her faint several times.

“Miss Yi Fei! Miss Yi Fei! You can’t die! You absolutely mustn’t die!” Ruo Ji seemed to care for Yi Fei very much, hugging her body as he sobbed.

Qin Yu carefully inspected this girl from the Underground City and found that she actually looked very different from the citizens of the Underground City. In fact, she looked almost the same as people from above ground.

She seemed to be at least 1.6 meters tall. Although she wouldn’t really be considered tall compared with other above-ground humans, in the Underground City, her tall and straight figure would definitely classify her as a “giant.” Her appearance was very beautiful with the exquisite and mellow features of an above-ground human but the same complexion as the people down here; pale skin and pointed ears. However, compared to the long pointed ears of many underground citizens, her ears were clearly much smaller and more delicate.

It seemed like she was the offspring of an above-ground human and an underground human.

“Da Ge, do you have a way to save her? It was thanks to her that I managed to escape, so if something happens to her I…” Mu Rongyue glanced at the unconscious Yi Fei again with tears in her eyes.

“I’ll try my best.” Qin Yu wasn’t certain she would survive, after all, her injuries were quite serious. The arrow had almost pierced through her heart.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. Give her to me.” Qin Yu stepped toward Ruo Ji.

“No! I won’t allow you guys to touch her! I won’t let anyone touch her! It’s all because of you that she’s hurt!” Ruo Ji hugged Yi Fei tightly, crying with grief and indignation.

“Damn you! This Laozi wants to save her! Do you want her to die?” Qin Yu retorted angrily, itching to slap this scoundrel away.

“I don’t care! I won’t allow you guys to touch her no matter what! Get lost!” Ruo Ji snarled back.

“You imbecile!” Qin Yu charged forward and picked up Ruo Ji by the neck. He wanted to fling Ruo Ji out of the cave, but he was tenaciously holding on to Yi Fei, refusing to let go even if he was dead. If Qin Yu threw him out, Yi Fei would be flung out too. Qin Yu was helpless and could only release his grip as he sternly shouted, “You really want her to die?”

“Even if she dies, then I’ll follow her and we’ll together! Nobody can ever separate us!” Ruo Ji’s face was decisive, facing death with equanimity.

“You…!” Qin Yu was extremely frustrated. How could such a strange man exist in this world? What was wrong with this world?

Mu Rongyue was also worried as she saw what was happening. She hurriedly stepped forward to advise Ruo Ji saying, “This big brother, we just want to save Yi Fei Jie. 1 Please release her. If we delay any longer then—”

Ruo Ji didn’t even let Mu Rongyue finish her words as he roared, “Scram!”

Mu Rongyue couldn’t help but blurt out, “You! What kind of man are you?! It’s fine if you can’t save her but why aren’t you letting others save her? You—you’re really useless and abominable!”

*Boom* Qin Yu couldn’t hold it in any longer and took action. He released a palm strike aimed at the back of Ruo Ji’s head, which left Ruo Ji unconscious. Then, Qin Yu directly picked Ruo Ji up, raised his foot, and kicked him out of the cave like he was a ball. The whole process was quite brutal.

“Da Ge, this…” Mu Rongyue couldn’t bear to see what was happening.

“Don’t worry about him. Laozi is already being quite lenient with someone like him by not killing him. Let’s hurry and help Yi Fei.” Qin Yu quickly squatted down and laid Yi Fei on the ground before pressing on the Cun and Guan acupuncture points on her wrist 2. He released a trace of internal strength to probe inside her.
