Chapter 17 (1/2)
The group of bandits surrounded the knives that eerily reflected the light, along with the light reflected by their bald heads
Zhao Ying had garnered enough confidence beforehand, but she still was not counting against being outnumbered
”Let's get out of here, Chu Li!”
Zhao Ying muttered
Chu Li shook his head ”We'll cut them down first!”
If these bastards were left alone, there would be no telling how many others will suffer!
”Alright,” Zhao Ying nodded
She also believed that these bandits deserved to die If she happened to have subpar martial arts, and was taken by theht of it nuoosebumps, she did not even want to think about it
The knives flashed, and four knives descended upon them
Chu Li lightly parried his blade It shi+ned and pierced the wrist of two bandits He i Zhao Ying to focus on one bandit
”Argh!” Three bandits screamed as their wrists were split, their knives fell on the floor
Zhao Ying and the final bandit were in a heated duel, clashi+ng steel against one another
This reat skill with the knife He had perfect control, being able to co's S Reversal Chu Li did not rush to assist He planned on letting Zhao Ying gain experience
He pulled out his sword and struck the three bandits once h the neck and blood spurted out They convulsed as they glared at Chu Li, who did not even show a bit cowardice
Chu Li shook his blade to boost erous the longer you take to kill him! Hurry up!”
”Very well,” Zhao Ying replied softly Her swordplay becahter and faster The speed and intensity were alainst
”I'd like one of you to turn into e er, and his face beca' strike and went for a reckless attack, atte to create a lose-lose situation
Zhao Ying dodged and escaped
Chu Li realized what the ht in the middle of the chest
The largewound on his chest He pointed at Chu Li before tilting his head and falling over
Chu Li took a deep breath
Zhao Ying turned her head and looked at him, puzzled
Chu Li investigated the body of the large nal arrow on the man If he had struck any later, the arroould have been already shot into the sky
”Zhao Ying, the next time this happens, don't take a step back”
Zhao Ying nodded, feeling embarrassed
She almost made a fatal mistake earlier If the man had actually shot the arrow, both her and Chu Li would most probably be doomed
The innate master would make their way to them, and they would be killed for sure
”Your move was one of instinct It should be clear now that experience is very important,” Chu Li nodded
”H was off
”But isn't this your first time outside the Public House too?”
”I learned all of it from the books,” Chu Li pointed at his head and smiled, ”This is e should read a lot more, it saves lives, sometimes!”
”M nodded
She held the belief thatThat she could deal with any situation with strongwas pointless and was a waste of time that could be spent on martial arts If one's martial arts were not adequate, there would be no point in studying
But she had realized that her thoughts were shallow She should read so with her self-cultivation
Chu Li bent down and grabbed a knife He beheaded all the corpses clean, as if he was slicing pork meat
Zhao Ying beca watched Chu Li behead corpses of their fallen ene too cruel They were already dead, all the hatred should have disappeared already
He tossed the knife away, clapping his clean hands He realized Zhao Ying atching him He shook his head and smiled,”You think I'm cruel?”
”They are already dead, what for?”
”Soateway techniques related to the heart If they did, they could easily be able to fake their death”
”Is that so?”
”Zhao Ying, you've followed Zhuo Fei Yang for far too long, you've beco that martial arts are all you need to be theall your problems”
”Is it not true?”
”This ht!” Chu Li pointed at one of the corpses, pricking his sword right after, and sliced off thehis heart
Zhao Ying shook her hand in an attelance at the heart, it was truly on the right side
”Zhuo Fei Yang thinks of hienius, and the one ill be the best in the world, is it?” Chu Li asked
”Brother Zhuo Fei Yang is truly a genius,” Zhao Ying nodded
”Naive! How is it possible to be the best by just training in the Public House?” Chu Li broke into laughter
”Why? Is it because of his heart technique?” Zhao Ying asked in surprised
