Chapter 230 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

You want my life, but I won't give it to you. You say I'm disrespecting you?

There's no logic to that in the world.

Qiao Yu looked blank. This was the first time he'd met someone even more outrageous than himself.

Seeing the Skinning Ghost rush into his attack range, Qiao Yu directly slashed with a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, catching the Skinning Ghost off guard.

Clang!

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade struck the Skinning Ghost, but Qiao Yu felt like he was hitting a piece of refined steel.

The strike didn't injure the Skinning Ghost's body, but the baleful aura on the blade intensely burned the Skinning Ghost's already hideous skin, emitting sizzling sounds.

The Skinning Ghost advanced instead of retreating, its sharp fingernails stabbing towards Qiao Yu's heart.

It seemed he couldn't win against this thing without entering a state of berserk rage.

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. The Skinning Ghost's movements instantly slowed down. The brief exchange had allowed Qiao Yu to make a judgment. He slightly dodged to avoid a fatal blow, preparing to take the hit head-on.

"Mystic Ice Shield!"

A delicate shout rang out from not far away, and a semi-transparent mystic ice shield condensed in front of Qiao Yu, blocking the Skinning Ghost's attack.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly. He turned his head to look to the side. A group of five people was walking towards him.

Among them were two acquaintances of Qiao Yu's, Qin Ke, whom he had just parted ways with, and Qin Xuan...

Qiao Yu didn't recognize the other three, but their auras were all those of mid-level players.

Aside from the Qin family, the head of the four great families, there probably wasn't another family that could mobilize four mid-level players under the age of 20 in one go.

"Friend, let me help you!"

The leader of the Qin family was a man wearing square glasses, looking very refined.

He drew a long sword as bright as autumn water and easily left a wound on the Skinning Ghost's body, from which a dark green pus immediately flowed.

Qiao Yu was a little speechless at how high this man's attack power was.

Moreover, Qiao Yu keenly observed that Qin Xuan was half a step behind this man, clearly with this man as the leader.

This surprised Qiao Yu even more. Who was Qin Xuan? Ji Pingyang's nephew, an arrogant and conceited person.

Would someone like Qin Xuan actually admit that he was inferior to his peers?

Taking advantage of the time that the refined man was entangled with the Skinning Ghost, Qiao Yu took the initiative to ask Qin Xuan.

"Xuan'er, who is that person? He seems very powerful."

The veins on Qin Xuan's forehead twitched a few times, and he directly turned his head away, unwilling to pay attention to Qiao Yu.

"His name is Qin Hao. He is the number one genius in our Qin family under the age of 20, known as the Little Sword God."

Qin Ke, who was on the side, proactively answered Qiao Yu's question, revealing a kind smile to Qiao Yu.

Little Sword God?

Qiao Yu was slightly stunned. The title of Sword God undoubtedly belonged to Ji Pingyang, the number one swordsman.

This Qin Hao being called the Little Sword God clearly meant he had some skill.

"Bullshit! Qin Hao is only a year older than me. If I were the same age as him, would he be the one with the title of number one genius?"

Qin Xuan clenched his fists on the side, clearly very dissatisfied with Qin Ke's words.

Qin Ke didn't say anything, but another girl on the side became unhappy.

"Qin Xuan, if you were really that capable, the Skinning Ghost wouldn't have escaped from the direction you were responsible for just now."

"Qin Xin'er, are you looking to die?!"

Qin Xuan was furious, looking like he wanted to fight.

The girl called Qin Xin'er curled her lips into a sneer.

"If you really have so much energy, you might as well save it to deal with the Skinning Ghost."

After speaking, a staff appeared in Qin Xin'er's hand, and she stepped forward to assist Qin Hao, unleashing flames everywhere with her every move.

"Escaped?"

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Have you encountered the Skinning Ghost before?"

"Yes." Qin Ke replied, "We received news before that this Skinning Ghost has a ghost eye on its body. When we wanted to eliminate the Skinning Ghost, it ran away. We tracked it all the way here..."

"Qin Ke!"

Qin Hao's voice was deep from not far away.

"You're talking too much."

Seeing this, Qin Ke hurriedly closed her mouth, casting an apologetic glance at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu was stunned.

No wonder this Qin Hao was so eager to help. Wasn't this the same script he used to snatch the ghost eye from the Xiao family?

First, jump out and shout "Let me help you!", then take away the ghost eye, and leave without a trace, hiding his identity and name.

It was just that this time, he had become the one being helped, oh no, the sucker being helped!

How could Qiao Yu tolerate that?

"Brother Qiao Yu, since someone is dealing with the Skinning Ghost, let's go first."

Zhang Erhe retracted his peach wood sword. The human skin lanterns made by the Skinning Ghost had all been destroyed by him.

"Daoist Zhang, you go first, I'll be there soon." Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes. Now that he knew the Skinning Ghost had a ghost eye on its body, he couldn't leave even more, or else wouldn't he really become a sucker?

"This..." Zhang Erhe's expression was a little troubled.

"Don't worry, Daoist Zhang, I'll be fine." Qiao Yu grinned.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you ahead."

Zhang Erhe wasn't one to dawdle either, and with a few flashes, he went into the depths of Ghost Mountain.

Afterward, Qiao Yu watched the show with peace of mind.

That Qin Hao truly deserved the name of Little Sword God. After several attacks, the Skinning Ghost was already covered in wounds.

No wonder the Skinning Ghost wanted to escape when facing the Qin family's five-person siege just now.

"The Human Sovereign Sword of the Three Sovereigns Sword of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

Qin Hao shouted sharply, and the sword in his hand rang with a low sword hum.

The Skinning Ghost didn't wait to die either. It slapped Qin Hao's head with a claw. If this blow landed solidly, Qin Hao would definitely end up with his brains exploding.

But a strange scene occurred. The moment he struck with his sword, the Skinning Ghost's claw, which was less than five centimeters away from his head, suddenly stopped.

The next second, the Skinning Ghost's entire hand was cleanly severed from the shoulder and fell to the ground.

Dark green pus gushed out of the wound non-stop. The Skinning Ghost clutched its wound and let out a miserable scream, its pair of cyan-red vertical pupils filled with resentment.

"Qin Fengluo, Qin Xuan, take action! Don't let this Skinning Ghost run away again! Qin Xin'er, Qin Ke, use your fusion skill!" Qin Hao shouted. His chest rose and fell continuously, obviously using this move took a lot out of him.

Qiao Yu raised his head with some curiosity. Fusion skills were a special use of skills.

It referred to the terrible effect of one plus one being greater than two when two skills collided together. For example, Yang Xiangdi's Sand Binding combined with Earth Explosion Art was, in theory, an application of a fusion skill.

He wanted to see what kind of fusion skill Qin Ke and Qin Xin'er would use.

He saw Qin Ke and Qin Xin'er standing on the left and right sides of the Skinning Ghost respectively. Their movements were almost exactly the same, and even their expressions were extremely unified. They both stepped forward and then waved their staffs.

Under the moonlight, the two girls with exquisite appearances were as fascinating as two dancing goddesses.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, a fireball like a vast sun appeared from behind Qin Xin'er, releasing scorching heat waves.

At the same time, an icy cold air like a cold moon appeared from behind Qin Ke, freezing thousands of miles and exuding a biting chill!

The interweaving of ice and fire, like the yin-yang symbol, composed a song of ice and fire.

The two girls shouted at the same time.

"Fusion Skill, Ice and Fire Twofold Heaven!"
