Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 104 - 0102 evenly matched

Arrogant, domineering.

The man dressed as a samurai displayed strong self-confidence. Yet Ye Zi knew it wasn’t overconfidence, but true strength that he possessed.

Ye Zi was eager to join forces with Ye Qiu to deal with this guy, but Ye Qiu stopped her.

"Leave it to me," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"But... I’m afraid..." Ye Zi hesitated.

You don’t trust me, or do you think I’ll definitely be defeated by him?" Ye Qiu’s tone changed.

Ye Zi shook her head quickly, saying, "No, I’m just worried about you..."

"Don’t worry, this is a battle among men. Just watch from the side," Ye Qiu stepped forward, shielding Ye Zi behind him.

At that moment, Ye Zi looked at Ye Qiu’s silhouette, wanting to say that she was no longer the powerless little girl of the past. Now, she could protect him even if she couldn’t do anything for him – at least she could contribute her strength.

Ye Qiu couldn’t guess what was in Ye Zi’s heart, and he didn’t have time to guess; his attention was entirely on the person in front of him.

"What a statement, a battle among men!" The samurai-clad man clapped his hands and smiled faintly, "Well then, I’ll grant you a clear understanding of death today. Everyone calls me the Reaper, and that’s my codename too."

Hearing the title of Reaper, Ye Zi’s face changed completely, no wonder why the opponent was so unbelievably strong. It turned out he was a top figure in the assassin world, a golden-level assassin.

Ye Qiu’s expression didn’t change, and he was not as shaken as Ye Zi; he too knew what that codename implied.

"Reaper... specializing in reaping other people’s lives, but unfortunately, I won’t hand my life over to you," Ye Qiu said. He then released his aura, confronting the Reaper.

Both men exuded an eagerness to engage in combat, each waiting for the right moment.

In a fight between experts, timing is critical.

Ye Qiu stood there casually, without making any move, yet to the Reaper it felt terrifying. It seemed he was utterly unguarded, but in reality, his whole body was on alert, turning the formless into form, with techniques hidden everywhere.

As an expert, he had a keen awareness of his opponent’s strength, and the reason the Reaper was talking so much to Ye Qiu was that he realized Ye Qiu was very strong, and the more he observed, the less simple he found Ye Qiu to be.

The two faced each other, Ye Zi’s palms sweated as she was entirely focused on Ye Qiu.

After about ten minutes of standoff, suddenly, they both moved.

Deep footprints were left by both of them, as each transformed into a streak of light and shadow, leaving behind a chain of afterimages, and the sound of fist meeting fist crackled through the air.

Too fast!

Ye Zi couldn’t clearly see their movements, only shadows clashing together.

The Reaper’s punches were lethal, each one capable of killing a cow, and the strength of his fists brought about fierce winds. Moreover, his moves were brutal, targeting vital spots for attack. If Ye Qiu made the slightest mistake or was caught off guard, he could be killed instantly.

The fists roared like tigers, as if countless bombs were exploding around him.

All pores on Ye Qiu’s body opened up, his opponent’s strength kept him constantly astonished. Agile, swift, ruthless – these words could all be applied to the Reaper.

From his skills, he was undoubtedly a king among assassins. Ye Qiu knew there were a few legendary figures within the assassin world, those who stood at the top of the food chain. He had only met one of them, and this Grim Reaper was definitely among those legendary figures.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Ye Qiu was completely focused, his heart stirring with excitement—he had finally met someone who posed a threat to his life, an expert he had longed to face.

Every pore on his body opened, Ye Qiu controlled his body to a delicate extent, sensing the dangerous aura of his opponent at the greatest distance in order to adjust his state of mind and make the quickest reactions.

Fighting was an instinct; it had long been ingrained deep in Ye Qiu’s bones.

He did not use any True Qi, fighting the Grim Reaper purely with his physical strength.

He had to admit, the other’s strength surpassed his; if it weren’t for his swift speed, he might have been killed within a few moves.

To counter the Grim Reaper’s ferocious attacks, Ye Qiu responded in kind, using lethal moves that also aimed at the Grim Reaper’s vital points.

As the two exchanged blows and defenses back and forth, they fought over a hundred rounds without a clear victor.

Ye Zi stood rooted to the spot, stunned. She had experienced the Grim Reaper’s skills firsthand and knew he was a terrifying figure. Yet Ye Qiu had been exchanging blows with him for so long without being at a disadvantage. After a fierce battle, he was still standing tall.

It was at that moment Ye Zi realized just how strong Ye Qiu had become, far surpassing the Ye Qiu of the past in her memory.

With her eyes wide and mouth agape, Ye Zi watched, and at the same time, a micro drone, hidden above the leaves of a tree, captured the scene of their battle.

As an unbeatable figure under Cha{:}i’s command, the Grim Reaper’s battles were already being reported back.

Cha{:}i, sitting on a genuine leather sofa in front of a large screen, was watching the two combatants in the footage with keen eyes.

"This man’s skills seem somewhat familiar, do you feel the same?" Cha{:}i, staring at Ye Qiu, observed every move he made while fighting the Grim Reaper.

"Duke{:} if you say so, I do recall someone," said an elder standing behind Cha{:}i.

"This young man’s skills resemble those of someone who should no longer be in this world. Could it be that they are related?"

"That man caused our family great losses back in the day. If this person is truly related to him, I believe our family would go mad upon learning of this news," said Cha{:}i.

"That’s also thanks to your achievements, Duke. I’m sure the family would be willing to pay a price for this information," the elder complimented.

"Haha..." Cha{:}i laughed twice before continuing, "There’s an old Chinese saying, ’Once bitten by a snake, one is scared of well ropes for ten years.’ That’s probably what the family feels right now."

"Duke, your understanding of Chinese culture is truly profound. It appears that your years of effort have been very worthwhile."

"Continue watching. If he is indeed related to that man, his strength is certainly not just this. Even the Grim Reaper might not be his match," Cha{:}i stated indifferently, yearning to see if Ye Qiu would reveal what he had been eager to witness.

The elder behind him remained silent, standing quietly.

After a strike, Ye Qiu and the Grim Reaper separated, both of them panting, their eyes revealing different emotions.

The Grim Reaper stared at Ye Qiu. The man he thought he could quickly dispose of was becoming stronger, and having fought him for so long, this man should have been renowned in the assassin world by now. Yet, he had never heard of Ye Qiu before.

At that moment, Ye Qiu appeared even more mysterious in the Grim Reaper’s eyes.
