The Four Blood Children and the Bald Bloody Hand blocked Chen Yu and Tong Yu Ling from leaving, flanking them on both their front and back sides.

No other silhouettes could be seen inside the silent and shabby villa.

It was said that many robberies occurred in this place before, so the majority of people in the villa moved away. Only a few old, weak, sick, or disabled people remained.

The Bald Bloody Hand licked his lips like an insatiable person raring to devour a snow-white sheep.

The Four Blood Children and him used this environment to subdue and kill their enemies and hunters, who tried to capture them for the bounty many times.

At this moment though, two fatter and inexperienced sheep were standing before his eyes. They were mischievous children hailing from sects.

The Bald Bloody Hand already had a plan in mind. After he finished dealing with this group and enjoyed the young lady from the sect, he would immediately move his base. Sects weren’t parties he could fight head-on.

“Younger Martial Brother, this is my mistake this time. The intelligence wasn’t accurate.”

Tong Yuling had an ashamed look on his face.

“Elder Martial Sister, what mistake have you committed? They are nothing more than four tiny shrimps,” Chen Yu said, not nervous in the slightest.

Four tiny shrimps?

Once those words left his mouth, the Four Blood Children across from him had a gloomy look on their faces as a surge of cruel and murderous intent locked onto Chen Yu.

Even the Bald Bloody Hand’s expression stalled.

“Baby, be mindful of your words. Let Elder Sister tell you what it means to wish that you were dead in an instant,” said the woman in bloody robes.

The woman in bloody robes was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She had the highest cultivation amongst the Four Blood Children.

There was a hint of mockery and coldness on her brilliantly beautiful face. She intended to capture that young man alive and give him a good round of torture.

“Then I’ll deal with the Bald Bloody Hand, Younger Martial Brother.”

Due to Chen Yu’s words, Tong Yuling slightly relaxed, only becoming slightly tense.

Chen Yu’s words gave her confidence. If Chen Yu could stall the Four Blood Children, there would be great hope.

“Sure! Look at these four tiny shrimps, they’re itching to get on with it already,” Chen Yu said with a slight grin.

When his words fell, the Four Blood Children attacked him amidst their startled and angry shouts.

Towering Cloud Step!

Chen Yu laughed out loud as his figure turned into a blur on the spot, dodging the Four Blood Children’s attacks with his surprisingly quick and strange figure.

He was only a tad weaker than Le Feng in terms of martial arts form.

At this moment, Tong Yuling’s delicate body flashed as a soft sword appeared in her hands. It transformed into a ball of floating spirit sword light and hastily attacked Bald Bloody Hand soon after.

Huh?!

A soft sound of surprise could be heard from Bald Bloody Hand. He could not help but move a few steps back as he contended with Tong Yuling.

Tong Yuling’s strength was higher than he imagined. She had extraordinarily formidable power, with her being at the late Connective Meridian stage, as well as having nimble and crafty swordplay.

The important thing was that she didn’t lack actual combatting experience, surpassing that of Chen Ying’er’s.

From a simple confrontation, one could see that it was very likely that Tong Yuling possessed the strength of the top fifteen in the outer sect.

On the other hand, Chen Yu had a determined look on his face.

That beautiful woman was the strongest amongst the Four Blood Children. She waved a fine long sword, specifically attacking Chen Yu’s eyes, throat, and privates.

Even Chen Yu couldn’t look down on her due to her superior cultivation as a martial artist at the late Connective Meridian stage.

The three other Blood Children were using a broadsword, a whip, and a concealed weapon respectively.

The four of them joined hands and gave rise to astonishing formidable power.

For a moment, it seemed like Chen Yu was surrounded to the brim with perils as he drowned in the four kinds of weapons.

“I really did look down on these four little bandits,” Chen Yu muttered to himself.

The joint attack of the Four Blood Children was too tight. Once he attacked one of them, he would suffer the retaliation of the other three immediately.

Naturally, he didn’t unleash the strength of the [Bronze Statue Technique] at this moment, only relying on his superior martial arts form and speed to contend with the Four Blood Children.

“Baby! Your martial arts form is pretty good. But…I wonder how long you could last?”

As the beautiful woman in bloody robes smiled, there was a hint of cruelty in it.

Even though Chen Yu was quick, he was still dealing with four people alone after everything was said and done.

The depletion in his energy would definitely be great if things would last in this manner.

The beautiful woman in bloody robes assessed that, at most, she could persist under such circumstances was the time it took to burn half an incense stick, with her being at the late Connective Meridian stage.

Besides, his body was still at the initial Connective Meridian stage.

However, what the Four Blood Children were most surprised by was that Chen Yu’s martial arts form seemed to become increasingly calm as he shuttled through the attacks from the four of them.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Chen Yu was sometimes slow yet sometimes fast, occasionally jumping high up in the air a few times as he completed a few martial arts movements in the [Towering Cloud Step] one after the other.

This wasn’t how he normally practiced, but rather, it was him improving his martial arts form through fighting at close quarters for his life.

Usually, one could boost their progress in martial arts by improving themselves in actual battle, let alone a genius like Chen Yu in physical techniques.

After the time it took to boil half a pot of tea.

The Four Blood Children had somewhat grave and aghast looks in their faces.

The young man in front of them had a profound martial arts form, appearing to become increasingly graceful and relaxed.

“I can’t hold him down anymore!”

The bloody robed person wielding the broadsword amongst the Four Blood Children was breathing roughly.

“Fuck! I’m about to use up all of my concealed weapons, yet not a single one hit him. What kind of freak is this fellow?”

The bloody robed person using concealed weapons whined.

With just the martial arts form he utilized, Chen Yu incomparably oppressed the four of them.

At this moment, a strange laughter from Bald Bloody Hand could be heard coming from the other end.

“Baby doll, it’s best if you have your hands tied up and wait to be captured like an obedient girl. This old man might let you live after feeling refreshed from playing with you. I really would hate deflowering you.”

Changes occurred in the confrontation on the other side.

The Bald Bloody Hand boldly advanced with large attacks. A heatwave rose as an indistinct dark red energy spread through his palms, even going so far as his arm.

Clank, ding, ding!

That striking dark red arm was actually as hard as metal. It carried a strange surge of Inner Breath and bounded Tong Yuling’s soft sword away time and time again.

“This is bad.”

Tong Yuling was breathing rapidly as beads of sweat seeped out of her delicate and pretty face.

She realized that she had been duped!

In the beginning.

The Bald Bloody Hand was concealing his strength, but his martial arts form was pretty good. He wasn’t fighting back a little as he fought Tong Yuling at a distance.

Tong Yuling wanted to behead this baldy and avenge her clansmen as well to complete the assassination mission. As such, she was naturally attacking violently with all her might without end.

However, the series of violent attacks didn’t injure the Bald Bloody Hand in the slightest, but rather depleted her Inner Breath and strength massively.

When her momentum faltered, the Bald Bloody Hand unveiled his true strength and started attacking wildly.

The Bald Bloody Hand’s true strength was more powerful than she anticipated. His deep and resounding Inner Breath was already close to the Visceral Tempering stage.

Secondly, the maturity of the [Bloody Hand Technique] he cultivated was more astonishing than his cultivation.

His strength absolutely suppressed Tong Yuling’s by a stable chip.

“Bloody Tiger Capturing Hand!”

The Bald Bloody Hand closed in on her all of a sudden and blocked Tong Yuling’s sword. On the other hand, his other bloody hand grabbed at the young lady’s shoulder.

Shrrp!

Tong Yuling’s clothes were ripped open, revealing her appetizing warm and red shoulder, as well as her snow-white skin.

A bloody scar appeared on her shoulder.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly, the Bald Bloody Hand might have already captured her.

“Haha, tender young girl. This old man can’t wait any longer…”

The Bald Bloody Hand licked his dry lips as he stared at the young lady’s tender skin and undulating supple breasts.

The Four Blood Children, on the other side, were exulted by the progress of the battle on this end.

“Hold on!”

“When the leader captures that girl, this boy will have no way out.”

The Four Blood Children burst out in malevolent laughter.

Hmm?

Chen Yu suddenly sensed Tong Yuling’s detrimental situation while he was immersed in the realm of his martial arts form.

“It’s almost there,” Chen Yu muttered.

Under the “Four Blood Children’s” tight besiegement, his [Towering Cloud Step] greatly improved and almost reached perfection.

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly streaked across as an afterimage at an astonishing speed as he charged toward one of the Four Bloody Children.

For some unknown reason, Chen Yu especially liked to make a move on people who used whips.

Pap!

In a moment, Chen Yu grabbed ahold of the other party’s whip.

Ah?

The bloody robed person holding the whip practically didn’t have time to react. Chen Yu was too quick and sudden as he attacked him so openly.

Afterwards, a tremendous force assaulted him along the whip as he was hauled up in midair all of a sudden.

“This is bad!”

The expressions on the faces of the other three Blood Children changed drastically.

The beautiful bloody robed woman reacted the quickest as she pierced Chen Yu with the thin sword in her hands right away.

Thump!

Chen Yu jumped high up in the air and dodged her sword.

Fiendish Cloud Fist!

A punching force that was fiendish and tyrannical lingered on the Bronze Fist, striking the bloody robed person wielding the whip right on his head.

Kerchack!

The head of the bloody robed person wielding the whip exploded in midair.

This scene alarmed and frightened the other three Blood Children at the same time, their faces incomparably aghast.

In just a single face-to-face confrontation, Chen Yu killed one of them.

If so, what was his goal behind contending with four people before this?

“Heh! Thank you for being my sparring partners until now.”

Chen Yu’s laughter chilled the trio’s hearts.

So that was it. This person actually confronted them many times in order to upgrade his martial arts form.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu just landed on the ground when he turned around with unusual speed and arrived in front of another person dressed in bloody robes.

“Fiendish Cloud Fist!”

A surge of frightening and fiendish might paired with explosive sounds of whistling bombarded another bloody robed person.

This bloody robed person’s chest immediately exploded.

Run! Hurry!

A frightened look covered the beautiful bloody robed person’s face.

However, she had only taken a few steps back when a tall shadow beside her blocked the sunlight.

Soon after, the sight before her eyes went dark, sinking into borderless darkness soon after…

At the same time.

“Girl, where are you running off to——”

The Bald Bloody Hand smiled lewdly, forcing Tong Yuling into a forest.

Tong Yuling was deathly pale while she was gasping for breath.

Her hair was scattered while her clothes were torn in many places, revealing her snowy skin, which cased the Bald Bloody Hand to quack out in peals of laughter.

Bathump!

The Bald Bloody Hand’s palm sent Tong Yuling and her sword flying immediately.

Tong Yuling almost spat out blood. She had almost exhausted her energy from the beginning of the fight up till now.

“Come, baby.”

The Bald Bloody Hand closed in on her at every step. He stretched his hand out but grabbed at Tong Yuling’s soft and plump breasts this time.

Tong Yuling subconsciously backed away but bumped into a tree as her face turned pale.

She was done for!

Her face was like dead ash, as though she had seen her own fate.

Whoosh!

A young man’s silhouette suddenly approached this forest at lightning speed.

The Bald Bloody Hand laughed grimly as he still grabbed at Tong Yuling.

“This is bad!”

Chen Yu was extremely anxious in his heart.

His figure abruptly became light in that crucial moment. The mental technique and footwork in his [Towering Cloud Step] suddenly transformed, his movements becoming like a river breaking a dike.

In an instant, the speed of his martial arts form had entered a whole new level —— Perfect [Towering Cloud Step].

Tai!

His heart palpitated with sudden force as a surge of brilliant vigorous energy was stimulated from within his body as it was released.

Whoosh!

A series of afterimages appeared on the spot.

The Bald Bloody Hand’s hand was about to touch Tong Yuling when he felt the assault of a strong wind.

So quick?

Bald Bloody Hand was startled.

Tong Yuling was pleasantly surprised, but she was stunned even more.

He really was too quick!

So much so that the young man in his field of sight even jumped up as well. His martial arts form and speed were no different from Le Feng’s [Towering Cloud Step].

It was similarly the perfect [Towering Cloud Step], but the speed that exploded from Chen Yu at this moment had completely exceeded Le Feng’s.

“Get lost!”

An ominous glint flashed in the Bald Bloody Hand’s eyes as he activated his [Bloody Hand Technique]. A dark red layer appeared on his entire arm as it became as hard as metal.

However, a smear of a mocking smile appeared on the corner of the young man’s lips as he was in mid-air while a dagger that was as sleek as a mirror appeared in his hands.

The sound of space being ripped out coming from the dagger was followed by the soft cry of the wind beside his ear, its speed as fast as lightning.

Puchi!

Blood light splashed as an arm fell to the ground.
