Book 16 - Chapter 3 – Inescapable Net (2/2)
Tuli saluted and said, “Miss Wan, please do as you wish When we have the opportunity later, I hope to know Miss Wan better”
Just by looking at his expression, they knew that he was deeply moved by Wanwan’s beauty
As a matter of fact, all the men present, none did not look bewitched by her
Wanwan gazed deeply at Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong, and then sighed again and said, “Ba Xiong, Kou Xiong, please take a good care of yourselves!”
She disappeared in a flash
Although the two knew that she was going to hunt and attack Xu Ziling, they were powerless to even defend themselves, hence they could only stare blankly as she left
Qu Ao took three steps forward, and stopped where Wanas standing aup the he his head back in hearty laughter, he said, “For every grievance someone is responsible, for every debt there is a debtor Today letahat skill do you have?”
Kou Zhong turned around fro the Moon in the Well on his back, he laughed aloud and said, “Oldone-on-one you are not my match, will others coht burst out laughing and said, “What an ignorant fellow indeed Death is near at hand, yet still dare to speak conceited nonsense Qu Dashi+ [great master], please make your move immediately, let me see if his blade is really as hard as his mouth”
By only these feords it could be seen that Tuli was extremely shrewd Because if he let Qu Ao answer himself, based on his rank, how could he let others to intervene? And if that happened, it would certainly be bad As long as Kou Zhong was able to fight until both sides suffer, it would be a problem for anyone else to intervene or to help Yet Tuli’s re Kou Zhong’s further remark at the sa behind Qu Ao, Changshu Mou laughed co is really muddleheaded or pretend to be muddleheaded How could this tihu conventions? Two renxiong are crafty villains who deserve punishment to the death from everybody here; there is no need to use any etiquette and rules toward you”
Although he was speaking with a hint of smile on his face, anybody could hear the deep resentment he had toward the two, so deep that all the water from three rivers and five lakes would not be able to wash it clean
Kou Zhong laughed calhan, whose expression was cold and stiff like a rock, and then he swept his gaze around the nuht that even water could not leak through, and finally his eyes landed on Qu Ao He said in astonishment, “Didn’t Qu Dashi+ have a duel appointon beard at zi hour? What time is it now? You must not be delayed due to injury or ht think that Qu Dashi+ is afraid of the duel!”
Everybody, including You Chuhong, secretly aduts If it were other people, under this kind of circuet of a multitude of arrows, fully aware that it would be difficult to escape disaster, who could be like hi calm and composed, his mouth was still very sharp, and acted as if he was irand master of a reputable school; at this critical id irony and scorching satire, he did not get angry Leisurely pressing forward, he smiled and said, “To take care of you, do I need half a sichen? Make your move!”
Relentless momentu’s spine bent slightly, his eyes ablaze with strange light; it was focused on Qu Ao, just like a leopard watching its prey approaching
In the sky theoff their splendor The River Luo under the Bridge continued to flow In this originally beautiful, bright and clear night, thick cloud of battle was loo across the River Luo, connecting the north and south parts of the Eastern Capital
The battle could happen anystayed close to the riverbed right underneath the big shi+p of the Dugu Clan; he hesitated
With ’s caliber on board, as soon as he pressed his hand on the hull of the shi+p and exerted his power, hea hole on the bottom of the shi+p
But he had no other choice
He held out both palms and pressed them on the botto true qi
At the bottoh true qi and palm poere oftentimes described as sharper than saber blade, whether it could be really used to cut just like using saber, especially when the object to be cut was as solid as the hull of a shi+p, still re ly, he had reached the level where he could send out and retract his true qi at will; strong or weak, fast or slow, even the way of sending out his power, spiraling or turning to certain direction, he could control it freely according to his heart’s wish
But he had never thought about controlling his true qi so that as it was being sent out, it would have a fir a battle with the eneertips, fists, and pal to circu out his true power in different form
With his current level of cultivation, it was not a difficult thing to forcibly shock the hull of the shi+p to create a big hole, or perhaps using the tip of his pal this, he would definitely not able to conceal his presence from the top martial art masters on board the shi+p
And if that happened, his ic trick would not be effective anymore
By this ti fiercely clenched his teeth, and let out a spiraling energy
Originally his qi power flowed out of his paled it to unhurried, yin and soft The force covered an area about six chi radius on the hull, with his palms at its center
Unexpectedly the center responded to his pal-wood sound
Even Xu Ziling did not expect this to happen Subconsciously his fingers stretched out toward the depressed part and jabbed into the hull His fingers went straight into the wood, as if it was soft cookie dough
Xu Ziling hiy to be this for deep holes in the shape of his fingers But since the hull was quite thick, it has not been penetrated yet
He was just about to add a bit more pohen he suddenly discovered that on the depressed part, the as dissolving layer by layer
While he was cheering inwardly, suddenly the alarm went off in his heart
Ripples of waves came; obviously there was so shi+vered inwardly
He was being very careful; could it be that his presence has been detected by the ene on a carefree, fearless act, without han, as standing behind hi, “Which direction?”
Naturally Ba Fenghan understood what he meant, but he could only respond with a wry s The only way out was to break the siege and escape But choosing which direction they were going to run aas the most difficult decision they had to make
On the surface, Tuoba Yu,the southern bridgehead, were the weakest But quite possibly it was a trap
Ba Fenghan cast his gaze toward one of thebackward “River Luo!” he answered in heavy voice
Kou Zhong nodded to indicate he understood
‘Qiang!’
The Moon in the Well left its scabbard, and dashed toward Qu Ao, standing about three zhang away
This han also shouted coldly, “Qu Ao, since when did you beco hawk and hound]?”
Even with his experience, Qu Ao was still startled by this extremely sarcastic remark; his momentum was immediately weakened by twenty percent
It should be noted that the Tujues were powerful, while the Tieles eak; hence Tiele people acknowledged allegiance to the Tujues; it was a reasonable and fair ht up Qu Ao’s association with the Tujues, hisfor anybody to respond, Ba Fenghan (although he started later, he arrived first) darted past Kou Zhong The Beheading Mystery Sword, with the ten-thousand-catty thunderbolt ry shouts rose up all around The enehan was only playing a trick, yet the entire situation was changed
The reater their chances of survival

Looking at the situation unfolding before his eyes, Xu Ziling’s scalp went numb, while inwardly he cried, ‘Lucky!’
As it turned out, the enee net full with barbs inside the river on the left and right under the Tianjin Bridge, floating about half a chi below the surface If Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan jue indeed if they were not captured alive
Realizing there was no ti swa the water
