Chapter 90: Suffering Double the Blow

  Silently and quietly leaving people's perception range, quickening pace and rushing forward.

  Although 16 arrows weren't many, it still took some time. The wind was blowing gently as he sent a message to ask where Liu Ruoxue and the others had gone, but there was no response. A bad premonition floated up in his heart.

  The figure swiftly darted between the trees, then suddenly stopped. He looked at a tree with something stuck on it: a willow leaf dart. The Wind Sough took his hand and pulled it down.

  The wind was blowing gently as he carefully examined the dagger, and clearly saw a small "Liu" character on the hilt. He then took out another one from his pocket to compare, and they were exactly the same. This was already sufficient proof that this was left behind by Liu Ruoxue.

  This certainly can't be the mark left by Liu Ruoxue, because in the game, ordinary items left outside would be refreshed away by the system. So there's only one explanation - Liu Ruoxue and the others must have encountered an enemy again.

  It can be inferred that they are still fighting since Liu Ruoxue hasn't replied to her message, and she saw the remaining darts when she arrived, which means they were just fighting here not long ago, and the darts haven't refreshed yet!

  Since the person hasn't gone far, or is still nearby, there's a simplest and most effective way to find her. The wind was blowing gently as she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly: "Liu Ruoxue! Where are you?"

  As expected, Liu Ruoxue's voice floated over from a short distance away: "Over here!"

  The wind whispers, listen carefully to determine the location, adjust direction and gallop swiftly.

  Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of me, and the wind had already drilled out of the forest. In front of me was another cliff. Liu Ruoxue, Xian Le, and others were standing at the edge of the cliff, while I was still on the ground, not yet awake. There was also someone else, facing the crowd, with his back to the wind, holding a long sword with a blue glow, wearing golden armor - Treasure Hunter's Scheme. The wind sucked in a breath of cold air, this person had actually caught up.

  The wind was blowing strongly and didn't have time to ask more questions. The treasure thief had already turned around, staring at the Wind.

  The wind whistled as he avoided his gaze and asked Liu Ruoxue, "How are you?" This question was quite redundant, no need to look to know that the situation must be bad, otherwise why would they be forced to the edge of the cliff. However, in this situation, not asking would be impolite. Liu Ruoxue replied with a sob, "One person has already been killed by him!"

  The Treasure Hunter suddenly spoke up, saying to the Wind Sough Sough: "I recognize you!"

  The gaze turned back to Treasure Hunt.

  "Duobao Qimou continued: 'You are a friend of the聚宝盆! On that day, I invited you all to Hengshan, but only he came alone in the end!'"

  Everyone was stirred up, not for anything else, but for the name "聚宝盆" (Treasure Basin). Thanks to the previous Basic Martial Arts event,聚宝盆 made a fortune and then went all out in real estate, becoming the richest synonym in Jianghu. Now his reputation is no less than that of 一剑冲天 (One Sword Charging Heaven), who is the number one martial artist, while he is the richest man in Jianghu.

  The wind was blowing gently when I heard a familiar name, but it didn't trigger any big reaction, and I just said calmly: "You remember correctly!"

  "Duobao Qimou stared at him and said: 'The one who shot and injured my helper in the woods just now was you, wasn't it?'"

  The wind was blowing, and he didn't deny it, nodding in agreement. In his heart, he also understood how the treasure-hunting plot had led to this point, and it must have been someone from the forest who reported back to him, so he took a shortcut through the woods and happened to intercept Liu Ruoxue and the others. If that was the case, then hadn't he already lost?

  The wind was blowing fiercely, and there was no chance to think more. Du Bao Qi Mou continued: "In the face of Ju Bao Pan, I won't pursue you for this matter, it has nothing to do with you, go!"

  The wind whispered a smile and said: "This matter is related to me, looking at the face of the gathering treasure basin, I won't make it difficult for you either, go!"

  A "poof" sound was heard, and Liu Ruoxue burst out laughing.

  "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

  The wind was laughing and said, "It's best if you can let me have my way!" Before the words were out of his mouth, he raised his hand and threw a dart, shouting, "You guys get out of the way first!"

  He easily dodged the treasure-snatching trick and sneered, "A minor skill, do you think it can stop me?" He then ignored Feng Xiao Xiao and charged forward with his sword to intercept several people who were trying to pass by him.

  Xian Le swung his sword to block the attack and said to Liu Ruoxue: "You take him away first!" The "him" in his mouth was of course referring to me, from where I came.

  "It's not that easy!" Treasure Snatcher shouted, turning around to dodge the sword thrust by Xian Le, and then swung his sword at the person who had brought me here.

  He drew his sword in the midst of chaos and charged forward, but this resistance seemed to be nonexistent. With a "clang" sound, the incoming sword was cut off, but the sword's momentum did not slow down at all, and it continued to slash straight onto the opponent's body. The opponent let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, although he had not died, he had already suffered serious injuries.

  At this time, Xianle had already launched another sword attack, and Feng Xiaoxiao also flew over with a throwing knife. At the same time, holding "Ruoxue", he rushed up.

  Duobao Qimou still wore a disdainful cold smile, and with a quick turn of his foot, neither the sword nor the dart hit their target. Duobao Qimou glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao again, sneering: "Huashan Swordsmanship?" He said, raising his sword to meet the two of them.

  Duobao Qimou single-handedly fought against two, but didn't fall behind. However, it was enough to keep Duobao Qimou busy and unable to pay attention to anything else. Liu Ruoxue and several others supported the injured and dazed ones as they prepared to leave, but before they took a few steps, they retreated back out. The 17 people who were intercepted by Feng Xiao earlier had arrived.

  The wind was blowing and scolding himself for acknowledging that the ambush was his own, allowing the Treasure Hunter to call them over without any worries. Among the 17 people, only a few had lost their combat ability due to being stabbed, and the remaining number was enough to surround Feng Xiao Xiao's group.

  At this time, Feng Xiao's first thought was to call for help, but facing the level of a master thief like Duobao Qimou, there was no time to send a message.

  Glancing at Liu Ruoxue and the others, they had already been forced back to the edge of the cliff again, desperately resisting. In terms of numbers and strength, they were at a disadvantage, and being defeated was only a matter of time. Feng Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and shouted to Xian Le: "You go help them, I'll deal with him!"

  Xian Le also saw that the situation on the other side was precarious and didn't bother with courtesy, making a false slash with his sword before turning around to attack in another direction.

  Only the wind was left, and Duobao Qimou faced off against Xiāo Xiāo. Duobao Qimou sneered, "You think you can take me on alone?" With that, he raised both hands, sword flashing in the air as he brought it down in a strike - a move he had used countless times already today.

  Feng Xiao Xiao didn't dodge or yield, and with both hands holding the sword, he charged forward. Not long ago, he had just made some repairs to his sword, which gave him a lot of confidence.

  The two swords intersected, emitting a hoarse sound that didn't seem like the collision of metals at all. However, the fact that "Ruo Xu" sword completely withstood this blow was an undisputed fact, and Du Bao Qi Mou's face also revealed a look of surprise.

  The sword may be useless, but Feng Xiao's arms have already gone numb, after all, strength is not his strong suit. Nevertheless, the expression on Duobao Qimou's face still gave Feng Xiao a thrill, a sense of accomplishment that was more than enough.

  The Treasure Thief's plan wouldn't wait for the wind to die down, and the second sword was already on its way, with a move that was identical to the previous one.

  The wind was blowing gently, and his mind was still clear. He had witnessed me coming from somewhere, brandishing a dozen or so swords in a miserable state. Who would still dare to stand firm against this? The wind blew gently, and with one misstep, the person was already by Duobao Qimou's side, the sword slashing towards Duobao Qimou's waist.

  At this time, Feng Xiao Xiao deeply felt how terrifying the step of Duobao Qimou was. His sword had only gone out halfway when Duobao Qimou's body had already turned around. The sword that had been chopping towards Feng Xiao Xiao's head earlier had changed into a slanting chop towards his left shoulder with the turn of his body. The change in Duobao Qimou's figure was actually faster than his moves.

  Feng Xiao Xiao hastily moved to the right again, her sword still slashing towards Duo Bao Qi Mou's waist, and getting even closer. Feng Xiao Xiao's speed was a bit higher than Duo Bao Qi Mou had imagined, but Duo Bao Qi Mou's speed in changing his body shape was even higher than Feng Xiao Xiao had imagined.

  He twisted his foot, and his body had already turned around. The previous slanted slash could now be considered a horizontal slash. What's more, with this turn, the wind whistled as his sword suddenly missed by just a tiny bit.

  It's just this little bit, if Feng Xiao wants to reach this point, he undoubtedly has to move forward a little bit first, but it's just the time it takes to move this little bit, and Duobao Qimou is enough to cut him in two.

  The wind was swift and didn't linger on this point, he chose to retreat. He decided quickly, retreated quickly, but the sword tip of the treasure-seeker still slashed through his clothes, the treasure-seeker wasn't slow either.

  The wind whistled as he retreated, backing off about two meters. He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, so much that he was panicked. To be strict, the two had only exchanged one move, but just this one move made Wind Whistle feel: he had encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat.

  Just now, Feng Xiao Xiao unconsciously used the method of using a sword to counter the Treasure Snatching Mysterious Strategy: displaying lightness skill and Treasure Snatching Mysterious Strategy are faster. But undoubtedly, he has already failed, the speed at which the Treasure Snatching Mysterious Strategy's footwork twists and turns, moving the body, is much faster than his own movement, his sharpest weapon all along has been restrained.

  Feng Xiao Xiao stood two meters away, the Treasure Thief didn't follow him, but instead coldly stared at him. Feng Xiao Xiao suddenly realized another disadvantage for himself, which was that in this battle, he must defeat his opponent.

  Feng Xiao Xiao had twice defeated Long Yan and also defeated Liu Yue, but at that time, he didn't have any must-win reason, yet he still managed to defeat his opponents. However, now when he really needed to win, he encountered an opponent he couldn't defeat. Feng Xiao Xiao thought to himself, could this be the legendary "Heaven's Will"?

  The wind was blowing suddenly and found that when he defeated Longyan and Liuyue, it was under the opponent's frantic attack, and a moment of carelessness appeared in the gap, and he grasped the gap to win. But at this time, what is urgently needed is his own frantic attack.

  The wind was blowing and I suddenly realized that I was actually making excuses for myself for not being able to defeat the Treasure Hunter!

  There is another thing that he has not noticed: his fighting spirit, his confidence, have disappeared unknowingly. Although it's a game, this is a simulated martial arts game, in martial arts, aren't fighting spirit and confidence very important factors?

  A tiger without fighting spirit and confidence, and has also lost its sharp claws and teeth, can it still hurt people?
