Bab 68: Two Powerful Fighters
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
She had not expected that the bounty for her head had shot up all the way to be the third highest. Tsk tsk, what a surprise!
She was still absorbed in her own thoughts when voices of people talking reached her ears.
"How did that girl in that portrait shoot up into the top three? The bounty has actually reached five hundred thousand! ?"
"You just came back and you must not have been aware. No bounty hunter dares take up that mission now."
"Why is that?"
"Because none of the mercenaries that have taken up that mission had come back alive. In just about two shorts weeks, quite a number of the guys had succumbed to that girl in the portrait."
As the two men conversed, they looked at the flamboyant man dressed in all red and they became curious where one of the men asked: "Is Sire looking to put out a bounty?" Afterall, only the black market mercenaries are able to accept the missions put out on the board.
Feng Jiu turned her eyes back to look at the two men and shook her head with a smile, seeing from out of the corner of her eyes the middle aged man was already walking towards the exit and she walked off to follow behind him.
After she left, the two black market mercenaries looked at each other and said in a low voice: "That man looked like it was his first time here. There was an enchanting air all around him, wonder what kind of a person he is?"
"We don't have to bother who he is. Come, I'll buy you a drink." The other man slapped his companion on the back, and put his arm around his friend as they walked away.
Walking back towards the inn, the middle aged man suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he turned to look behind his back, his brows knitting up close together. He sped up and walked into an alley before he stopped once again and shouted out.
"Who is it? Show yourself!"
A figure in red stepped out, his steps filled with grace. He was dressed in a full suit of bright brilliant red, his black hair held together by a red silk ribbon. But what was slightly different was that the face was hidden behind a golden mask, decorated with mandala blooms, the flowers of Hell.
Staring at the person slowly walking out, the middle aged man's eyes narrowed, an initial guess surfacing in his head, but he quickly rejected it.
[No, it shouldn't be that woman. The man before his eyes was taller than that woman and it couln't be her.]
"It's been some time since we last met."
Feng Jiu's tone was lazy, tinged with mockery and a chilling air of murder.
"It's you!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the expression on his face changed slightly and his voice quaked faintly. The sudden instinctive fear he felt made him fall back two steps immediately, and his entire body to tense up in defence. Before the fight had begun, cold sweat was already running down his back.
You can't blame him, a mystical Warrior who was so fearful of a mere Warrior, but as he had fought the girl before and was well aware of her skills. When he thought back to how he had nearly been killed under her hands, and having lost the use of an arm, a unconscious terror had crept in, gripping his heart.
That was the reason why he had gone to the black market to put up a bounty on her, and did not dare confront her directly instead.
Seeing the man's reactions, Feng Jiu could not help it but laughed aloud and said: "If you are so afraid of me, why would you still put a bounty on my head?"
She walked slowly forward, closing the gap between them one step at a time. "I had almost forgotten that a man such as you still existed. Who would have thought, that you would come running to appear right before me again."
The moment she spoke those words, she heard some noises behind her. Her eyebrow lifted as she turned her eyes back to look.
She did not know when another middle aged man and an old man had appeared behind her. Both of them were commanded a strong presence, their gazes sharp and penetrating. A wave of oppressive aura flared out from the two newcomers and the air was filled with a murderous scent, filling up the entire alley.
"Hahaha! You want to kill me? That will depend on whether you possess the capabilities!" The first middle aged man had lost his previous panic and fear and his eyes were now sparkling with excitement at seeing the two men on the other end of the alley.
"Chief Elder, Fourth Elder, this is the person. The one who killed Little Peng!"

Elder?
Her eyes glinted and she pushed her consciousness outwards in a probe. The other two men were full Master Warriors, having fully completed the levels. No wonder they had been able to appear behind her without her noticing.
Compared to just facing the first middle aged man where victory was certain, these two men, Senior Elder and Fourth Elder were different as they gauged the devilishly alluring figure of Feng Jiu dressed fully in red.
If they had not been told beforehand, they wouldn't have been able to tell that the figure looking like a man dressed in male clothing was actually a girl.
Even the two of them who have seen and experienced much of the world had to admit to themselves that the person before them possessed an energy that was indistinguishable as neither male or female.
And….. it felt so deep it was unfathomable.
With their level of cultivation, they were not unable to see through her levels? What else could you call that but unfathomable?
From the moment they had appeared, they had not seen her exhibit a single trace of shock or fear. The lips that were exposed outside the mask had a faintly sinister smile playing across them, that caused the two of them to have their hearts filled with caution and wariness.
"Just who are you really? Why do you choose to go against our Xu Family?"
The Senior Elder asked in a deep voice, his penetrating gaze staring right at the red figure.
Feng Jiu glanced at the Senior Elder a moment and her tone was quizzical: "Go against you? Come on! It was you guys who have been persecuting me all this time, when have I initiated a fight with any of you?"
She paused a moment and she turned her gaze to the front towards the first middle aged man with a mirthless smile and said: "If not for this Second Master from your family running to the black market to put a prize on my head, how would I even be able to find him?"
"Even so, you killed our Xu Family's Young Master and crippled one of our Second Master's arm. Those are facts that you cannot deny."
"Oh? From what you are saying, when you guys are trying to kill me, I should just extend my neck and offer it to all of you on a platter?" She asked with an eyebrow raised, the faint smile still on her face, but the glint in her eyes was chill and frosty.
The Senior Elder's face darkened and he said with a cold laugh: "Then you can only blame your fate to have offended people you should not go against in the first place! Our distinguished Xu Family with almost a century's standing is not something you can stand up to. If you know what's good for you, surrender yourself to us or….."
"Or?" Feng Jiu curled up the ends of her lips and laughed wildly, and then she asked in a highly inquisitive tone: "Or what? Kill me?"
"Or we'll bring just your head back in answer for our mission!" The Senior Elder spat out, his fingers immediately curling up into claws, showing his high proficiency in the art of grappling and seizing.
"Then let me respond in kind and see how you fare!" She laughed out coldly and her body moved immediately to confront her opponent in battle.
The Senior Elder imbued his hands with thick robust mystical power and grabbed onto her wrist, thinking to twist it backwards, but Feng Jiu was slippery as a snake as she broke free of his grip and reversed her wrist to grasp onto his wrist instead, immediately pulling him forward. His lower body lost balance and he felt a surge of power from her hand still holding onto him, suddenly finding himself being lifted off the ground and thrown back.
The Senior Elder then dispersed his power and fought to find his balance as he flipped himself to land on the ground. His face was dark as he said: "I see that you do know a few moves. A pity, that death will be the only outcome here today!"
"It's really a pity." She nodded in agreement, looking at him with regret and sympathy, as if she had already ascertained that the one who would die would be the Senior Elder.
Her rueful and sympathetic gaze greatly infuriated the Senior Elder and he pulled out his long sword to point it directly at her, roaring out loudly: "Frivolous brat! You shall pay heavily for your condescending manners! Your head is mine to take today!"
The sword's point pointed forward, as thick robust mystical energy flowed from the body like the tide as it surged out, gathering over the sword's sharp edge. In an instant, a malicious aura filled with sinister oppression shot out from the sword! The Senior Elder charged in an instant, bringing with him his terrifying murderous rage as he moved faster than the speed of sound as he charged at the red figure.
'CLANG!'
A long sword glowing blue at the edges blocked his attack before him. The sword clashed against each other, the razor sharp aura from the swords neither giving in an inch. At that same moment, several gasps of shocks sounded as well.
"Blue….. Blue Edge Sword!"
