Chapter 81

.

“Intruder! Stop!” Someone yelled .

Mu Yi saw a few people in the distance . There was a women leading them . She looked just like the woman who had just flew through the air . The woman looked nervous and was moving fast . Qiu Yuetong was overcome with emotion . She had come with Qiu Zhu and now Qiu Mei had come with people .

Qiu Yuetong decided to trust her instinct . It was better to believe the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to be optimistic and be disappointed . The man had repeatedly failed during his life and she was convinced there was a reason for it .

The enemy who had come could maybe destroy Little Frost so it was better to be careful . She had decided to use her full strength to protect their territory . She was proud . She couldn’t help but be happy about her decision .

She just needed time . The terrifying power of the charm had made her inner strength disperse but she wasn’t injured . She sensed that she would be able to condense her strength again within a few minutes . If Qiu Mei hadn’t arrived, she would have risked her life and used her forbidden technique .

Everything that was happening currently was her fault after all and she wanted to solve the problem . She would have also been critically injured or even died if she had defeated Mu Yi with the technique . She had practiced so hard for so many years . It would have been a waste .

She would have done it only if absolutely necessary . Mu Yi frowned after noticing Qiu Mei’s speed . It would be best to ignore her and get rid of Qiu Yuetong first . She had defended the old man when he used the five thunders charm so it was her fault .

Mu Yi had already noticed that her recovery speed was incredible . If he continued to waste time, she’d recover and the consequences would be deadly for him . Therefore he decided to kill Qiu Yuetong first . Mu Yi saw light in front of him . He jumped aside and saw an arrow .

Qiu Mei had arrived in front of him . She was holding a small dagger . She ran at him using small steps to increase her speed . Mu Yi jumped backwards but Qiu Mei was extremely fast . She was so fast Mu Yi could hardly follow her movements . If the dagger stabbed him, he would be badly injured .

Mu Yi was astonished . He had made lots of progress and his perceptions were more acute now . He was able to dodge again . He released lots of mind strength into the copper lamp .

Qiu Mei was startled and shouted . She closed her eyes and felt that she was being burned . It was as if she had fallen into an ocean of flames . Her skin was turning grey . Mu Yi didn’t give her any time to react and aimed at her abdomen .

She groaned in pain and crashed onto the ground, motionless . Qiu Mei’s injury was actually less severe than Qiu Zhu’s . Qiu Mei’s body didn’t have any visible injury but she remained unconscious because her soul had been injured .

The copper lamp couldn’t harm someone’s body . It could only hurt people’s souls . Mu Yi realized that when fighting against Xugui and he knew it was an efficient technique . Soul injuries were even worse than body injuries .

“Little Mei!” Qiu Yuetong screamed .

When she saw Qiu Mei like that, she was filled with anger . Qiu Mei was lying on the ground and she was unconscious . She felt extremely sad .

Another arrow moved towards Mu Yi . Mu Yi’s perception was good, especially when he was already fighting . If someone attacked him when he didn’t expect it, then maybe he wouldn’t be able to sense the attack, but only if the person was extremely skilled .

Mu Yi jumped aside and dodged the arrow . He also turned off the copper lamp . It was nighttime and people could easily spot him with the lamp . The surrounding area became pitch-black again . The people who had come to help couldn’t see much of anything anymore .

Mu Yi put the Ghost King Banner on his body as a cape again . He quickly moved towards the people who had come to help . White lights exploded one after the other when he arrived .

He only had one five thunders charm when he came . However, he had prepared lots of evil spirit slaying charms and they worked well against ordinary people . He couldn’t destroy the whole fortified village with them but they would suffice to kill the few people who had showed up .

Mu Yi looked like a sly and cruel demon as he attacked . Bright white lights kept emerging from his hands and people screaming horribly . Qiu Mei hadn’t been able to call and wait for everyone because she hadn’t had much time . She had only gathered about eight people .

The people were already lying on the ground soon after the fight started . Their Qi was slowly dispersing . Whether they would survive or not, depended on their luck .

“Stop!” Qiu Yuetong shouted .

She gazed into the distance and saw the horrible scene . She couldn’t stop herself from shouting . She could finally condense her strength again . She moved like the wind and charged at Mu Yi . She passed by Qiu Zhu and the sword which had fallen to the side ended up in her right hand .

Qiu Yuetong changed drastically with a sword in her hand . There was a distance of a few dozen zhang between them, but Mu Yi could sense the cold killing intent of the sword . Mu Yi couldn’t act carelessly . He stared at Qiu Yuetong, who looked like a celestial being . She continued on her path towards him .

He stretched out his arm and said, “Suffer!”

Mu Yi’s cape turned into black lights and moved to attack Qiu Yuetong . The long sword and the Ghost King Banner collided in the air . Lights flashed . After that, the Ghost King Banner moved back to Mu Yi’s hand . Qiu Yuetong’s attack had been blocked and her speed had slowed .

Mu Yi put the Ghost King Banner back on as a cape and moved . He was invisible again .

“I already understand your sword techniques, Chief Qiu . In three days, I will come back . If you still refuse to hand Li Hu over, I’ll slaughter everyone in Little Frost with no exception,” he said .

The voice seemed to come from far away, especially in the middle of the night . The Ghost King Banner allowed Mu Yi to hide and move like a fish in water . He wasn’t completely invisible but it was difficult to see him .

Qiu Yuetong was still holding her sword . She looked depressed . She knew this had only been the beginning . She finally understood what Su Jinlun had meant .
