Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 343 - 145: Genius and Cross-Level Combat (Part 3)

Chapter 343: Chapter 145: Genius and Cross-Level Combat (Part 3)

While speaking, his movements didn’t stall at all, in fact, his attacks became even more fierce.

The words just now, although they reflected his inner thoughts, the man in black said them to provoke the woman in the green dress.

Even though the woman in the green dress was at a disadvantage, facing the attacks of the three, she stubbornly held her ground without showing any signs of defeat.

The man in black was worried that if they continued like this, something unexpected might happen.

However, to the man’s verbal provocation, the woman in the green dress remained unmoved, expressionlessly wielding her longsword to block the attacks.

Clang, clang, clang——

The sound of metal clashing rang continuously, the battle was extremely intense.

Lin Zheyu operated the Turtle Breath Skill with all his might, silently lurking in a nearby tree, watching the intense battle with great interest.

"What superb swordsmanship, what a beautiful woman!"

Lin Zheyu secretly admired.

Even in a tense life-and-death battle, the swordsmanship of the woman in the green dress was still full of grace and beauty.

Such graceful swordsmanship, wielded by a beautiful woman, was highly entertaining to watch.

"Such a beautiful woman, it would be a pity if she died here, should I rescue her?"

Lin Zheyu pondered privately.

He assessed his strength and felt quite confident.

The woman in the green dress and the three men in black were all very powerful, even among those in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, they were exceptional.

If before advancing to the Qi Blood Six Transformations, Lin Zheyu did not use the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, he would not be their match.

After advancing to the Qi Blood Seven Transformations, Lin Zheyu’s Qi Blood and physique underwent a transformation, greatly enhancing his strength.

Now, even without using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, he could hold his own in the realm with his sixfold Qi Blood burst and the threefold power of the Wild Bull Fist.

"That woman in the green dress has the surname Lee, could she be from the Lee Family in Wuling City, the same family that held the auction?"

"If I save her and make a connection, I might enter the social circle of the noble families through her."

Lin Zheyu pondered privately.

Even if it didn’t work out, he could still receive some reward from her.

If she is indeed a member of the Lee Family, a lifesaving grace might not demand her hand in marriage, but should at least be rewarded with ten thousand silver taels as thanks?

...

Whizz——

The woman in the green dress, by accident, was slashed by the blade of the man in black, leaving a long cut on her back.

Her green dress was dyed crimson with blood.

"Heh heh, such white skin, so tender and smooth, must feel great to touch."

"After capturing her, once we brothers are tired of playing, we’ll take her back for the others to enjoy, taste the delight of Lee Mengqi, the sixth ranked beauty of Wuling City."

"Kekeke..."

The man in black laughed monstrously, full of obscene and filthy words to provoke.

"Hmph!"

"Before I die, at least one of you will accompany me to the grave!" Lee Mengqi’s icy voice came, her longsword becoming even more lethal.

Her body was slashed with over a dozen wounds, her clothes stained red with blood.

However, Lee Mengqi seemed unfazed, exuding an incredibly cold presence, her gaze filled with killing intent.

Even in death, she aimed to take one or two of them down with her!

"Haha, die? How could we bear to let you die!"

The men in black laughed loudly, swinging their broadswords, aiming at Lee Mengqi’s head.

Clang——

A crisp sound rang out, and Lee Mengqi swiftly blocked with her longsword, the force from the broadsword pushing her back two steps.

The other two men in black stepped forward in extreme tacit understanding, swinging their swords at Lee Mengqi from different angles.

"Not good!"

Lee Mengqi thought to herself, alarmed.

Faced with the coordinated attacks of the three, she had nowhere to dodge, only able to withstand them directly.

But after such a prolonged battle, her Qi Blood and stamina were almost depleted, she could barely hold up.

Gritting her teeth, Lee Mengqi forced herself to mobilize her Qi Blood power, intending to take one down with her before she died.

"Hey, catch me if you can..."

The man in black quickly retreated two steps with a sniggering smile, continuously provoking Lee Mengqi.

They knew what Lee Mengqi wanted to do and deliberately avoided giving her the chance to go all out with them. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lee Mengqi was clearly at the end of her rope, they just needed to drag it out until she was exhausted, no need to go all-in.

"Second brother, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, one of the men in black shouted to his retreating companion.

But it was too late.

The second brother heard the warning, sensed the danger, and his steps halted as he changed direction, swinging his broadsword backward.

But the force behind him was faster than his blade.

A fierce gust came, accompanied by a powerful momentum pressing down on him.

Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his back.

With a muffled sound, a large fist pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.

"Uh..."

The second brother’s eyes widened, filled with fear and unwillingness.

Bam!

Lin Zheyu struck successfully, flinging the man in black away; the not-yet-dead body landed with a dull thud.

Lin Zheyu silently gazed at the remaining two men in black, noticing the gravity and intention to retreat in their eyes.

Lee Mengqi glanced at him, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she quickly moved beside Lin Zheyu, holding her longsword while facing the two men in black.

"Damn!"

The men in black glared venomously at Lin Zheyu, swiftly turned and fled, without even collecting their fallen companion’s body.

When fighting Lee Mengqi alone, they couldn’t win smoothly, and now with such a strong Martial Artist added, there’s even less chance.

If they continued the fight, they might be wiped out.

"Phew~~"

Seeing the men in black retreat, Lee Mengqi sighed slightly in relief, her aura quickly diminishing.

She had just been forcing herself; after any more fighting, she wouldn’t have lasted.

Seeing the men in black retreat, Lin Zheyu chose not to chase them, and he glanced at Lee Mengqi. Seeing she was fine, he approached the body of the man in black.

He rummaged around but found nothing.

"..."

Lin Zheyu was speechless, the guy didn’t even carry a penny.

"Are you alright?"

"Why were they chasing you?"

Lin Zheyu walked over to Lee Mengqi, curious, after she tended to her wounds.

He had been hiding in the dark, overhearing some conversations, it seemed the three men in black were chasing her for something.

"I am Lee Mengqi, thank you for your help, sir."

Lee Mengqi didn’t answer Lin Zheyu’s question, instead, she stood up and cupped her hands in thanks.

"No need to be polite, just doing the right thing when seeing injustice." Lin Zheyu smiled and replied courteously.

"I do not carry any valuable items on me as thanks; could I trouble you to accompany me to the Lee Family, where I must properly thank you with a generous gift."

Lee Mengqi spoke with a tone and demeanor that felt sincere to others.

Unlike during the battle, with no fights, Lee Mengqi appeared less icy and intense, showing a hint of feminine grace.

The sight of her blood-stained green dress presented an exotic beauty that Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but glance twice at.

"No need for a reward."

"However, as you are heavily injured, I shall escort you back to the city." Lin Zheyu said.

"May I know how to address you?" Lee Mengqi asked.

"I am Yu Zhe, Miss can feel free to call me Mr. Yu."

Lin Zheyu randomly made up a name.

Having discarded Zhao Hao’s appearance, he assumed a new disguise, looking slightly younger, around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

"Then I shall trouble Mr. Yu." Lee Mengqi said.
