Chapter 35 1 vs 3
Night fell completely, and a torrential downpour began.
The black luxury car drove slowly through the layers of rain into a high-end villa area in the heart of the French Concession.
The area is shaded by green trees, and each villa is far apart, creating a tranquil environment.
Apart from the beams of light from the car headlights cutting through the darkness, there was no other light source around.
"laugh--"
The vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of a European-style villa covered in ivy.
The car door opened.
Two maids, one in black and one in white, got off the car first. They didn't use umbrellas, letting the cold rain soak their exquisite maid uniforms.
Then, the two men, one on each side, half-supporting and half-carrying, helped the weak Yao Xiwei down.
Yao Xiwei's legs gave way, and she almost fell into the muddy water, but was caught by the maid named Xiaobai.
"We've arrived, Your Holiness."
Xiao Bai chuckled and whispered in her ear, "This is the safe house prepared for you. Even if there's a raging flood outside, you'll be safe here..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Because on the road ahead, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.
He was a man in a dark gray suit, with a long sword hanging at his waist and a huge black umbrella in one hand, standing quietly in the rain.
Rainwater slid down the edge of the umbrella, forming a glistening beaded curtain.
Behind the beaded curtain, a pair of dark eyes were watching them with gentle calmness.
"It's so late at night, and the rain is so heavy."
The man spoke slowly, his voice clear and melodious:
"Yao, why didn't you tell the teacher before going out to play?"
"This is not the behavior of a good student."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yao Xiwei trembled and abruptly raised her head.
When she saw the figure standing in the rain, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Su...Su Changming?!"
She cried out in disbelief:
"How...how did you find this place?"
Su Changming smiled slightly but did not answer immediately.
He simply extended his left hand, and in his palm, a yellow talisman was slowly burning and turning to ashes.
That was the tracking charm that Yao Xian had given him.
It was originally intended as a precaution, but I never expected it to come in handy now.
"Father……"
Seeing the burning talisman, Yao Xiwei instantly understood that she had always kept a similar talisman hidden in her personal clothing.
"Oh my, what a touching teacher-student relationship!"
Xiao Bai narrowed her ruby-like eyes, and the sweet smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a violent look:
"Unfortunately, you chose the path to hell when there was one available."
She turned to look at Xiao Hei beside her, and the two exchanged a glance, instantly reaching a tacit understanding.
"Kill him."
The voice just fell.
"Swish! Swish!"
Two figures shot out like arrows, instantly tearing through the rain and attacking Su Changming from the left and right sides respectively!
Without any unnecessary words, the attack was a killing blow.
Their speed was astonishing, and their fingertips extended to reveal inch-long scarlet claws that flashed with cold light, aiming straight for Su Changming's vitals.
Night Descendant, Ninth Rank: Blood Servant!
Although they were only ninth-rank, the two of them worked together seamlessly. Coupled with the Night Descendants' unique agility, an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist would probably be disemboweled in a single encounter.
however.
In Su Changming's eyes, however, this scene was completely different.
As the soul liquid between his brows trembled, the powerful perception of a ninth-rank Spirit Master instantly spread out.
The world seemed to him to be playing in slow motion.
The maids' ferocious expressions, the way their claws sliced through the raindrops, even the subtle tremors of their muscles as they exerted force.
Everything was clearly visible, leaving no room for concealment.
"Too slow."
Su Changming softly uttered three words.
Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, holding up his umbrella.
His right hand reached for his waist, and with a clang, a dragon's roar resounded.
Snow Remnant Sword, draw your sword!
A cold glint appeared.
Su Changming didn't use any fancy sword moves, just a simple horizontal sweep.
But this simple sword strike contains the instinct and momentum he has accumulated from countless sword swings in the Sword Shadow Stone!
"clang--!!!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing rang out.
Little White, who was at the forefront, felt a tremendous force coming from the claws, which made her arms go numb and caused her to fly backward uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, Su Changming twisted his wrist, and the sword tip rose, precisely blocking the sharp claws that Xiao Hei stabbed out from the shadows.
"roll!"
He let out a low shout, and his ninth-grade skin-refining mastery of blood and qi erupted instantly.
A scorching wave of heat erupted from his body, directly knocking Xiao Hei, who was trying to get close and fight, back several steps.
In just one exchange, the two Nightbred elites were forced to retreat!
"roar--!"
Just then, a roar like that of a wild beast came from behind.
The burly driver, who had been silent all along, got out of the car and tore his suit jacket open, revealing his bluish-gray muscles that bulged like rocks.
He is also a ninth-rank Night Descendant, and a tank type specializing in strength and defense!
The driver, like a tank, rumbled and slammed towards Su Changming with heavy steps.
"Three against one?"
Su Changming sneered, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, his black umbrella suddenly closing and thrusting out like a spear, aiming straight for the driver's chest.
At the same time, the Snow Remnant Sword in his right hand transformed into specks of cold stars, enveloping the Black and White Duo who were pouncing again.
If it were an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist, they would have been overwhelmed by such an attack.
But Su Changming is different.
His physical body had undergone Ling's grueling training, making his foundation terrifyingly solid.
His swordsmanship, though formless, was intentional, each move deadly.
More importantly, the Spirit Master's perception grants him a predictive ability akin to a god's-eye view.
A lone figure with a sword and an umbrella on a rainy night.
Su Changming moved like a dragon through the three men's attack, his clothes fluttering but not a single leaf touching him.
On the other hand, the three Nightborne became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
That seemingly frail scholar's sword strikes were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and every umbrella strike was cunning and ruthless.
In just a few dozen moves, the driver had several deep, bone-revealing sword wounds on his body, and the black-and-white maid was in a terrible state. Her originally exquisite maid outfit was torn to shreds by the sword energy, revealing patches of snow-white skin.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
Xiaobai finally lost her patience. She let out a sharp, piercing scream, and her once sweet face began to contort violently.
"Since you want to die, then so be it!!"
With her scream, her jawbone made a strange "crack" sound, and it actually split open all the way to her ear.
A gaping maw, covered with fine fangs and resembling that of a lamprey, peeked out from her delicate mouth!
At the same time, Xiao Hei's back bulged, and two fleshy wings covered in mucus tore through its skin and emerged.
The two ceased to maintain their human forms, directly revealing the ferocious and terrifying true nature of the Nightborne!
Faced with this scene of sanity dropping wildly.
Su Changming's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes revealed a mocking look.
"It's not your fault that you're ugly."
"However, it's wrong of you to go out and scare people."
