I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 71 - 65: Night Assassination (Part 2)

Qin Yuesheng’s attitude was extremely firm. After leaving these words, he seized the Evil-Subduing Saber from Cao Zhengchun’s hands and then used the Spiritual Swallow Body Technique to swiftly run towards where Li Tianle was standing.

Even though there was a throng of people around, exceedingly crowded, Qin Yuesheng still moved like a nimble swallow flying through the hall, progressing at an undiminished speed. Soon, he reached the street side, kicked off a pillar to the rooftop, and quickly closed in on where Li Tianle was.

"Go!" shouted Li Tianle.

As soon as he spoke, ten men dressed in black suddenly appeared on the rooftops of the surrounding houses. They all wielded iron sabers and charged towards Qin Yuesheng, instantly engaging in a fierce battle on the rooftop.

These ten men were all Wang Meng’s subordinates, skilled hands. This time, Li Tianle received the mission to deal with the Qin family, so Wang Meng dispatched these subordinates for Li Tianle to command, to assist him.

Even Li Tianle himself did not expect that the ten men, who should have appeared when dealing with the Qin family, would reveal themselves while trying to kill Qin Yuesheng.

He reversed his hand, drew three arrows from his quiver, and quietly took aim at Qin Yuesheng.

Hundred Steps Piercing Yang Archery Technique — Double Swallows Around the Beam.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Qin Yuesheng was entangled in battle with the ten men when he suddenly heard the swift sound of arrows approaching. He instinctively acted before even looking, swinging the Evil-Subduing Saber horizontally to deflect and cut two arrows, neutralizing the threat completely.

Unexpectedly, a shadow slipped silently past the Evil-Subduing Saber, heading for Qin Yuesheng’s throat. The area between Qin Yuesheng’s eyebrows tingled instantly, goosebumps involuntarily rising all over his body.

With a swift motion, he hurled the arrow he had caught earlier to collide with the incoming one, forcefully batting it aside.

"Three arrows?" Qin Yuesheng finally realized.

The archer had shot three arrows as if they were two to confuse the enemy and create a surprise attack effect.

This move indeed worked. If not for Qin Yuesheng’s high agility of 15.0, with quick reflexes that surpassed ordinary people,

an average martial artist would have already died under Li Tianle’s ’Double Swallows Around the Beam’ archery technique.

Seeing the opportunity slip away, one of the men in black attempted to sneak up on his waist from behind. Qin Yuesheng countered with a Tiger-Crane Plum Blossom move, twisting around the opponent’s wrist and fiercely gripping his joint, giving it a powerful toss.

The man’s entire arm was instantly dislocated by Qin Yuesheng, who then forcefully thrust the arrow in his hand into the man’s chest. The scene was quite bloody.

"He actually blocked it!" Li Tianle was secretly shocked. To achieve this level, one’s strength must surely be above the Hammer Tendon Realm, and even in that realm, not many could accomplish this.

"Young Master Qin from the Qin family is actually of the Hammer Tendon strength!" Li Tianle’s face was solemn.

He was originally a street beggar until one day he encountered Wang Meng, who saw his potential and took him in as a disciple, teaching him martial arts.

Li Tianle had been practicing martial arts for years, yet he was barely at the stage of strengthening bones, just a step away from touching the Hammer Tendon Realm.

But the young master of the Qin family before him, clearly looking younger than himself, was already of the Hammer Tendon strength?

What remarkable talent and aptitude.

Li Tianle couldn’t help feeling some jealousy, silently drawing four more arrows and stringing them, ready to launch a deadly strike at Qin Yuesheng.

Although an external martial artist has strong hard skills, unless they’ve reached perfection, there must inevitably be a weak spot on their body.

No matter how strong the skill, it’s useless before a weak spot. If your weak spot gets hit by someone, the outcome will surely be unfavorable.

Li Tianle drew his bow and gathered strength, beginning to judge the possible location of Qin Yuesheng’s weak spot.

No one noticed a short distance away from the pawnshop entrance, a young man with a scholar hat, dressed in a dark robe, and black cloth shoes, was standing there watching.

Nimbly retrieving a writing brush and ink from a bamboo case, he started writing in a blue-cover notebook.

"Little Dao has good luck, coming here and encountering a martial world clash this soon. Hmm... this archer should be Li Tianle from the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List. Although he’s masked, I distinctly remember that ’Hundred Tempered Nine Curves’ bow in his hands.

Who is this young man in a black robe? His blade skill is extraordinary, and he seems quite proficient in grappling as well. No, that’s not grappling. It seems like a fusion of fist and palm techniques, wonderful! I’ve never seen such a martial art, but it’s quite exquisite. The one who created this martial art must be tremendously talented."

Qin Yuesheng strode atop the tiles, swinging his blade fiercely in all directions. Although those around him had decent skills, in Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, they were far below his level.

"Ah!" A man in black used a series of rapid blade techniques, producing dazzling arcs of steel.

Qin Yuesheng squinted his eyes, using his left arm as a shield to block the blade assaults one by one. Although his clothes got slashed, his skin remained unharmed.

After parrying several strikes, Qin Yuesheng darted forward in a sudden, rapid move, getting close to the man’s chest at lightning speed and stabbing directly at the opponent’s heart.

The Evil-Subduing Saber’s sharp edge met no resistance.

Indeed, the black blade went in, and the red blade came out. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Puff!" The man in black spat blood, veins bulging on his forehead.

With a kick from Qin Yuesheng, the man toppled down, rolling off the roof and landing lifelessly on the cobblestone street below.

Witnessing Qin Yuesheng battle ten men at once, while outnumbered, they were no match for him. Soon, like dumplings, they were chopped down and thrown off the roof by Qin Yuesheng one by one.

The youth carrying the bamboo case saw the casualties yet remained unfazed. Instead, his expression grew increasingly excited. He swiftly dipped his brush in ink, fervently recording the entire process of the clash.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The ten black-clad men were simply not opponents for Qin Yuesheng. Qin Yuesheng could have slain them faster if not for Li Tianle’s incessant arrow attacks, which forced him to divert some attention to keeping an eye on him, thus causing a delay.

Li Tianle certainly lived up to his reputation on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, his archery skills were formidable. During the process of analyzing Qin Yuesheng’s weak spot, Li Tianle indeed found one or two locations, making the situation slightly perilous.

Archers are vastly different from ordinary martial artists as they stand farther away, posing greater danger and higher cunning. To restrain them, one must close the distance to render the bow ineffective.

This is precisely what Qin Yuesheng did. The moment all the men in black were killed by him, he charged directly at Li Tianle.

The earlier battle hadn’t drained much of Qin Yuesheng’s strength; instead, it made him even more invigorated.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng approach, Li Tianle momentarily felt dazed, as if he witnessed a black tiger with crimson eyes leaping towards him.

But it was merely a fleeting illusion; soon, it faded away, and before him was still the silhouette of Qin Yuesheng.
