Chapter 378: Chapter 92: Interception and Assassination

“I didn’t expect you to have another expert by your side.”

Accompanied by a cold voice, someone slowly emerged from the darkness.

Feng Boyi!

According to Shen Che, this person is a Third Grade Martial Artist.

The expert Feng Boyi mentioned was Ye Yushi beside Chen Tang.

Clang!

The Night Rain Sword was unsheathed, a cold gleam flickering under the chill moonlight.

Ye Yushi held a flute in her left hand and a sword in her right, stepping forward half a step, the tip of the sword pointed toward the ground, ready to strike at any moment.

“Nice sword!”

With keen eyes, Feng Boyi immediately recognized that Ye Yushi’s weapon was no ordinary armament.

Chen Tang said, “You came quickly enough.”

With Feng Xing dead at his hands, Feng Boyi naturally wouldn’t let it go.

It’s just, Chen Tang didn’t expect him to come so quickly.

“How could Shen Che’s little trick deceive the Military Lords?”

Another voice rang out from the darkness.

An elderly man with a long knife at his waist, wearing samurai armor, slowly approached from the other side, standing with Feng Boyi on either side, blocking the path of Chen Tang and Ye Yushi.

Chen Tang had seen this old man during the genius battle, had some impression, and knew he was from the Moon Night Race.

“I am a Moonlit Guard, and today I’ve come to claim your life!”

The old man had a somber expression and spoke with a cold tone.

Chen Tang looked around, raising his voice, “How many more of you are hiding? Show yourselves, no need to lurk.”

“The two of us are enough.”

Feng Boyi sneered slightly, saying, “To kill you, we don’t need that many people!”

The night was deep, with only the sound of the sea breeze sobbing, indeed no other silhouettes visible.

Ye Yushi glanced sideways slightly, speaking softly, “I’ll hold them off, you get on the boat and have the skipper set sail, I’ll follow soon.”

Chen Tang pondered briefly, then understood her intention.

Both opponents were Third Grade Martial Artists; engaging them directly, the odds were slim.

Without crossing blades, it was unclear how many meridians they had unblocked.

Unblocking one or two meridians and all Eight Meridians are worlds apart in combat effectiveness!

The safest plan was to separate the two Third Grade Martial Artists, just like the strategic retreat from Hermit Continent.

If the sea vessel departed the harbor and Feng Boyi and his companion pursued, Chen Tang could be the first to board, taking advantage of the terrain, and attempt to shoot one of them down into the sea with the Flood Dragon Bow.

Thus, he could replicate the situation from Hermit Continent’s Upper Concealment slaying.

Ye Yushi would hold one off, while Chen Tang dealt with the other by the river.

“Alright!”

Decisively, Chen Tang didn’t waste words with Ye Yushi, nor did he hesitate, but directly dashed towards the sea vessel at the harbor.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Feng Boyi immediately took action, slashing towards Chen Tang with his blade, an aura bursting forth, inner Qi enveloping the blade, making it even more fierce!

Woo woo!

A plaintive flute wail sounded.

Ye Yushi came wielding her sword, though disguised as a country woman, her first strike revealed her profound martial arts foundation, her body technique agile and ethereal, her entire demeanor transformed!

Clang!

Blades and swords clashed, sparks flew, erupting with a metallic clang.

Both were jolted all over.

Feng Boyi’s expression slightly changed, secretly shocked.

This woman appeared ordinary, yet how was her Sword Qi so refined and she also understood the Sound Rhythm Law?

Ye Yushi felt reassured.

Through the previous exchange, Feng Boyi should have unblocked five meridians, one more than her, with more abundant inner Qi.

But her cultivated inner Qi was more refined and pure.

Comparing the two, she actually held the upper hand.

With her current means, even facing a Six Vein Martial Artist, she had a seventy percent chance of victory!

Ye Yushi blocked Feng Boyi’s blade, her figure swayed, borrowing the force of the rebound from his blade, she instantly moved to the other side, striking again with her sword.

Clang!

A flash of sword light just intercepted the Moonlit Guard’s blade edge!

Ye Yushi sank her wrist, the sword slightly lowering.

This Moonlit Guard was a Seven Meridians Martial Artist!

A Third Grade Meridian Passage required unblocking the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Among the Eight Meridians, the hardest to unblock were the Ren and Du Meridians.

Many martial artists were stuck at this juncture their entire lives.

Some martial artists even attempted to forcefully charge through the Ren and Du Meridians, only to meet with failure.

At best, they fell into Qi deviation, at worst, their power was entirely wasted, and their lives could be at risk!

However, unblocking the Ren and Du Meridians significantly enhanced combat power, their inner Qi would see a huge surge!

If one’s Dantian was an ocean, the Eight Meridians were the rivers.

Within them, the Ren and Du Meridians were the broadest and most important rivers!

Even unblocking just one of the Ren or Du Meridians brought significant combat power improvement.

Ye Yushi had tested the opponent’s power as soon as she engaged with the Moonlit Guard.

Facing a Seven Meridians Martial Artist, even with her flute sound and exquisite Swordsmanship, her odds weren’t high, only barely coping.

“Hmph!”

The Moonlit Guard coldly sneered, momentarily abandoning Chen Tang, his eyes narrowed, a blade light flashed with astonishing speed as his wrist flicked!

Ye Yushi seemed to anticipate his reaction, retracting her sword before the Moonlit Guard struck, her sword sweeping open and bursting into a dazzling array of sword shadows, like a Milky Way falling from the heavens, forming a sword shadow water curtain.

Clang!

The Moonlit Guard’s blade light slashed at the sword shadow water curtain.

With just one strike, he shattered it.

But Ye Yushi had already used the force to retreat, stabbing once again at Feng Boyi, who was about to pursue Chen Tang.

Feng Boyi frowned deeply, forced to turn back into battle.

Clink clank!

The clash of blades and swords was incessant, accompanied by intermittent flute sounds, the battle was exceptionally fierce.

Ye Yushi fought two opponents at once, showcasing her life’s learning, entangling with Moonlit Guard and Feng Boyi as much as possible, fighting while retreating.
