Chapter 1209: Intensified Battle (1)

"Assassins protected by the underground city won’t betray people to you, you wouldn’t have forgotten this rule so quickly, right? Although I’m not in the underground city, it doesn’t mean this rule is voided. I’m still the City Lord of the underground city." Lao Jiu’s provocation undoubtedly pushed this unknown battle to an inevitable level.

Gray eyes flashed with cruelty, Lucifer’s lips curled into a cold smile. "So, you plan to interfere after all?"

"This depends on your intentions. If it’s to protect the seventh-level Soul Keeper, we are the same kind of people and naturally will help. But if you’re here for Consort Ling, then it’s risking life for a noble cause."

"What if I want both?"

Lao Jiu glanced at the Magician and Angel, weighing the odds of three against their four. The chance of victory was only fifty percent, and the hidden Clown wasn’t too concerning; she was the weakest among the five. The other was Wing, who hadn’t appeared for such an important matter as the super-soul, which meant either they were hiding or had more important things.

"Wing is not here!"

"Bringing up Wing at this point is rather disgraceful."

"Lucifer, if you want the seventh-level super-soul, you have to wait until Xiao Lin returns. The one who started the trouble is him and the Clown; Consort Ling took the drastic step to kill him to protect the master." Yelu Shou pulled Lao Jiu back from behind, still wanting to delay the timing a bit.

"That’s a separate matter; the seventh-level shouldn’t die, if anyone should die, it’s the Clown."

"Damn it, what kind of talk is that!" Lao Jiu’s anger flared up, wanting to rush forward, but Yelu Shou stopped him. "Are you truly clueless or pretending not to know? The seventh-level’s death under Consort Ling’s hand inadvertently gives the Clown a chance to live. We’re all on the same side, why not wait for Xiao Lin to come back?"

"Waiting for him to come back—is that even possible? Without support from the Xiao Family, how can he take down Robert alone? Even if he could kill that fool, what about Mu Rongyun’s men? Not to mention Fourth Master, he might not even get past the Assassin Group. You’ve put too much trust in his abilities." Lucifer looked disdainfully at the expressions of the people around him. "You look regretful, don’t you? But it was you who pushed Xiao Lin into the trap, and yet he foolishly risked everything for a woman. For an heir like him who doesn’t prioritize himself, we ’Black Crow’ won’t acknowledge him. A ruler who can’t take care of himself cannot bring a sense of security to those who follow him."

"What does that mean?" Murong Lengyue, situated upstairs, heard clearly and suddenly grabbed Hua Qingyi to question.

Hua Qingyi shook his head, casting his gaze on Yelu Shou, whose expression was grim. "Perhaps only he knows," Murong Lengyue looked towards Yelu Shou.

Lao Jiu couldn’t hold onto Yelu Shou, his fingertips brushing the latter’s clothing, and then he was gone from his side. The person least wanting to start trouble was now the first to charge forward. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly headed towards Angel’s direction.

"You finally couldn’t hold back, huh? Dark ruler." Lucifer retreated continuously, showing no contempt at Yelu Shou’s life-risking approach.

"Haven’t you waited long enough for this day? Then let’s settle it today; allowing you to linger outside is not beneficial for Lin!" Steel Claw formed two silver lines in the sunlight, and graceful arcs shot dozens of silver lights towards Lucifer.

Hidden within the Steel Claw were Silver Needles. After dodging left and right, Lucifer swiftly elevated his stance, stepping mid-air, producing a steel whip in his hand. It turned out the metal belt around his waist was his usual weapon. With a tremor from his right hand, the long steel whip struck the ground flexibly, stirring dust and producing a heart-pounding reverberation sound. The whip head turned like a nimble giant snake on the ground, shooting towards the empty space in front of Yelu Shou’s chest.

The whip head’s rotation carried the sound of breaking wind, arriving in the blink of an eye, and Yelu Shou fearlessly met it with one hand! Clang! Clang! Clang! Though the collision of Steel Claw with the whip head didn’t spark, the friction between metals grated on everyone’s ears like the severing sound of gears.

Holding the whip head with his right claw, Yelu Shou and Lucifer were at a stalemate, while Black Doctor and Troy didn’t rush in like the two; instead, they automatically directed their gaze to the person five steps away. Lao Jiu didn’t attack Angel, he just quietly stood in front of her, waiting for her to move first.

The Angel coldly watched the stalemate between Lucifer and Yelu Shou. She stepped back from the battle circle, just as Lucifer said, ’Black Crow’ and ’Darkness’ were bound to face each other eventually. Lao Jiu made a sound of surprise, feeling doubtful about the Angel’s retreat.

Lucifer’s right hand reached back, the direction of the whip’s tip remained unchanged. He smiled indifferently, as the long steel whip suddenly retracted under the force of the pull. The vibration of holding the tip stirred Yelu Shou’s heart. Due to his craze for cold weapons, Lucifer’s steel whip’s agility was far more than it appeared, making him anticipate Lucifer even more.

In a flash of thought, Lucifer’s body flew towards him like a soaring eagle, swinging his left fist towards Yelu Shou’s right hand.

With a bang, the two of them simultaneously flew backward. Yelu Shou’s feet dragged on the ground for four or five steps before stabilizing, while Lucifer merely retreated two steps, the whip’s tip returned to his hand, stopping his movement. He raised the long whip again, resembling a snake, swung it down towards Yelu Shou’s groin from above at a tricky angle.

The tightly packed attacks left Yelu Shou no time to regroup his attack routes. He slapped the ground with one hand, quickly countering the whip tip with his left hand, while leaping forward towards Lucifer.

The long whip’s line served for long-range attacks, so Lucifer stretched the battle line from the start, preventing Yelu Shou from approaching him. This was a disadvantage for him; if constantly entangled by this guy, he would eventually defeat him.

Yelu Shou’s self-sacrificing approach caused others to exclaim. The force bouncing back from the palm aimed at the whip’s tip was twice as strong as when Lucifer initially struck. Meanwhile, as the whip’s tip lost control, Yelu Shou just happened to seize the opportunity to enter the steel whip’s inner circle. Of course, the result was that he could potentially be struck on the back by the recoiling whip tip.

Lucifer was also taken aback by Yelu Shou’s almost reckless approach, knowing that the whip tip’s power was beyond what the flesh can endure.

Yelu Shou’s speed was swift, yet the whip tip following him was even faster. As he rushed forward at high speed, the whip tip had already reached his back.

"You’re crazy!" Lucifer yelled at Yelu Shou, who had already reached him. Even if he wanted to recall the steel whip now, it was impossible.

"Hehe!" Yelu Shou grinned at Lucifer, unfazed by the whip tip behind him. "Only then is the fight worthy; what’s the point if there’s no bloodshed? Let’s settle this fight to decide victory or defeat. If I win, you and your people will leave Black Street, I’ll let you take back the seventh-level ashes, and as for the clown, I can guarantee Xiao Lin won’t pursue any issue."

Lucifer glanced at Yelu Shou without saying a word and suddenly flashed to the right side, disappearing from Yelu Shou’s front. In a blink, he appeared behind him, and so did the following whip tip, disappearing from behind Yelu Shou and simultaneously appearing behind him with its master.

"As you wish, come back and talk conditions when you can beat me!" Don’t think Lucifer was kind. As soon as he finished speaking, the whip tip shot towards Yelu Shou’s right side, drawing a semicircular arc in front of him and striking his right shoulder directly.

With his left claw gripping the whip tip forcefully, his entire body was knocked away. At this moment, Lucifer behind him was waiting for this, his right hand shockingly releasing the steel whip, his right leg bending, the protruding knee targeting Yelu Shou’s back fiercely crashing.

Bang! His back felt like it was breaking, and Yelu Shou, still resisting against the whip tip, unleashed the suppressed bloody maw from behind due to the heavy strike. However, Lucifer’s attack did not end there; the disoriented whip tail reversed direction from behind during his strike against Yelu Shou, heading in front, only accompanied by the hissing sharp rotation sound, scraping past Yelu Shou’s neck. It made a three-hundred-sixty-degree arc in mid-air, ultimately returning to Lucifer’s hand.

"How do you feel?" His left claw pressed against his neck, preventing the steel whip’s grinding from entwining his flesh painfully. Lucifer’s voice came from behind, while Yelu Shou appeared like a lamb awaiting slaughter, unable to move due to the butcher’s control. "With just your skills, you’re far from winning against me."

The not-so-loud voice was heard by everyone, allowing each one to hear clearly. Five steps away, the Magician brushed off the dust on his body, the falling black feathers fluttered everywhere, he turned, preparing to leave.

"It’s not over yet!" Yelu Shou’s shout halted the Magician’s departure. Just as he was about to turn back, he saw Lucifer’s body flying backward, leaving everyone shocked and uncertain how to react to this sudden turn.

Hehe! Yelu Shou hung his shoulder at an angle, his left arm, soft like boneless, dripping blood. Exclamations from the two standing on the building erupted. Perhaps those below could hardly discern how Yelu Shou accomplished this, but the two above saw it clearly—without a word, Hua Qingyi rushed down. (To be continued.
