Chu Yunxuan''s voice was slightly muffled, but in thatrge open space, it could be heard in every corner.


    As he spat out one number after another, Cheng Nuo didn''t panic, because he totally didn''t believe that Chu Yunxuan had the means to find them out. Even if the pawnshop owner had followed Chu Yunxuan here, most likely he wouldn''t recognize them since the residents here all look almost the same except for their eye and hair color. Fortunately, Chang Chun''s hair and eyes were the mostmon colors in the world.


    Chu Yunxuan slowly counted up to ten. The crowd below was still silent and you could hear a pin drop.


    Cheng Nuo held his breath and nervously looked straight ahead of him. Did Chu Yunxuan feel that he had lost face? Would he leave now?


    Chu Yunxuan was still smiling, and there was nothing unpleasant in the expression on his face. He sighed and said, "Really not here? Then now I can only use my sword to avenge these two ipetents. If this child hade out then he could have followed to the camp but now… you must all know that I have a talent called ''shadow tracker''."


    His eyes were blue but as he spoke they turned a strange blood-red color. The people standing in the front row became nervous.


    Chang Chun''s face became tense, and he subconsciously shrank back until he was close to Cheng Nuo.


    The smile on Chu Yunxuan''s mouth was very strange. His eyes, like searchlights, shot two red beams of light that fell on the jade ornament. Then an amazing thing happened - in the air above the jade ornament, the blurry outline of an illusory figure started to appear!


    Cheng Nuo was stunned and his hands turned cold. How could this mysterious skill appear in this ****ing world?! What made him even more nervous was that the blurry figure was bing clearer and that three-dimensional figure was clearly Chang Chun''s!


    If this continues, the residents will surely recognize that the illusion was showing Chang Chun!


    Various thoughts passed through his mind. His talent must be to track the people who had touched the jade. The other people who touched it did not appear in the illusion so he knew who the culprit was. What should they do now?


    Chang Chun was frightened and subconsciously touched the knife in his pocket.


    Suddenly, a silver light flew from a distance, and hit the jade, breaking it. The illusion in the air vanished instantly.


    This happened too fast for most people to understand it. Cheng Nuo hurriedly looked behind him and saw a small figure with dazzling silver hair sh in the air. It was … … Bai Rui!


    He was shocked. Bai Rui actually took the initiative to help them?


    Chu Yunxuan, who was using his shadow tracking skill, was momentarily overwhelmed by the bacsh of his skill being forcibly stopped. His blood surged in his veins. He saw that the sh of silver was made of condensed light that slowly dissipated into the air. His pupils suddenly shrank - it was a rare light energy user!


    Bai Rui slowly moved away from the houses and said in a very calm voice: "Don''t check it."


    He jumped down andnded lightly, slowly walking towards the crowd.


    Cheng Nuo waspletely dumbfounded. He thought that Bai Rui had broken the jade ornament then fled. What does Bai Rui mean to do? The crowd made way for him until Bai Rui''s little figure waspletely covered by the people in the front row. Cheng Nuo couldn''t help but push his way forward, easily making his way to the front row.


    Seeing Bai Rui''s appearance, Chu Yunxuan was also shocked. He hated the boy immediately. So young yet he could use a rare light ability…


    Bai Rui stood at a distance of five or six meters from him. He lifted his eyes and said in a casual tone of voice: "What did you just say earlier?"


    Chu Yunxuan smiled and said: "What do you mean?"


    Bai Rui''s speech was concise: "You said that if one of the ten is defeated, the challenger can take his position."


    Chu Yunxuan smiled. He pulled out a folding fan out of his sleeve and fanned himself a little. His attitude was really like that of a wealthy family''s gentlemanly young master. "So, you want to enter our Lan Yue Camp?"


    Bai Rui shook his head: "I just want to know what will happen if you defeat one of your leaders."


    Chu Yunxuan hand that was waving his fan stopped moving and he almost lost his smile: "I admit that you are a talented child but don''t say you want to challenge big brother. You did not kill Shang Wu and Zhu Liu; the wounds on their bodies were clearly caused by a group of people."


    Bai Rui ignored his words and insisted: "I challenge you. How about it?"


    Chu Yunxuan burst outughing. He had studied martial arts at a renowned school for many years. If people thought he was afraid of a child, he would have to abdicate his position as second-inmand. Even though the child''s affinity for light energy was one in a million, he was too young. The force of that light arrow earlier was very weak.


    He snapped his folding fan closed and sneered, "If you win, my ce as the second-inmand will naturally be yours."


    Bai Rui shook his head: "If I win, people from the Lan Yue Camp will never set foot in this vige again. We will sign a blood-curse contract."


    "Alright," Chu Yunxuan said, smiling slightly. "If I win, you will let me handle this matter as I see fit."


    This new development was totally beyond Cheng Nuo''s expectations. He asked worriedly: "What is a blood-curse contract?"


    Cao Tou and Chang Chun were also stunned. Chang Chun didn''t expect that Bai Rui would actually bear this task for him. His feelings were veryplicated.


    The blood-curse contract was a kind of contract between two martial artists. Once the two sides signed a blood-curse contract, they will not be able to go back on their promise or they will be killed by the curse.


    Chu Yunxuan was talented in letters and unconventional in lifestyle, a person confident and at ease in all situations. He had pen, paper, and an inkstone in his storage bag that he took out to write a contract. In spite of his words, he kept his eyes on Bai Rui, coldly vignt.


    Both sides checked the contract then put their fingerprints on it to signal their agreement. Chu Yunxuan waved his folding fan and the people around them were pushed back until there was an open space. Bai Rui held his breath, keeping his blue sword in his hand. Suddenly, his breathing changed.


    Chu Yunxuan''s scalp tingled when he was stared at by that pair of abnormally focused golden eyes. He was stunned and used his folding fan to attack Bai Rui with three wind des, rushing towards him to block Bai Rui''s possible escape routes.


    Bai Rui was lightning fast. His feet shed and he kept changing his position to avoid the three wind des but Chu Yunxuan was already in there to hit him on the head with his folding fan.


    This fan looked light but in fact, it was a third-grade weapon made of golden energy and wind energy stones. It was an iparably tough weapon that can split rocks or even cut open a mountain. If a martial artist was hit by it, his bones would be broken and his tendons cut.


    Bai Rui heard the wind of his movement and lifted his blue sword to block the attack. The nging sound of weapons shing was heard. However, he really was too young. The force of Chu Yunxuan''s blow was too much for him to easily handle. His legs were bent and his skeleton creaked.


    Cheng Nuo watched nervously, gnashing his teeth. He secretly touched the hatchet that was hidden at his back. All the blood in his body seemed to have surged into his brain, making him feel dizzy.


    How did this happen? This matter has nothing to do with Bai Rui. He can''t stop these two people from dueling but if Bai Rui was in danger, he would never stand idly and ignore it!


    Cao Tou was also dumbfounded. They had always been incapable of understanding Bai Rui. Now he couldn''t help but worry about his safety.


    Chu Yunxuan looked down at Bai Rui and added a bit more force. He looked into the other''s eyes and smiled: "You''re Bai Rui, right? This is too disappointing for me."


    A bit of sweat was pouring down from Bai Rui''s forehead and his hands on his sword were trembling but he still looked calm. He said softly: "You talk too much crap."


    Chu Yunxuan was furious. He added even more force to his arms andughed: "How are you going to away now?"


    Bai Rui''s hands can''t rx at all. If he let go, then the folding fan would cut him. At the very least, he will get bloodied.


    Bai Rui stared at Chu Yunxuan and the expression on his face showed no timidity. He quickly gathered light energy and countless tiny arrows shot out from his sword.


    Chu Yunxuan was shocked and used his folding fan to block the attack. Bai Rui seized this opportunity to smoothly step back.


    Those light arrows may have seemed ferocious, but their energy was low. Chu Yunxuan effortlessly fended them off and he felt relieved. Heughed. "I see, next time I won''t be fooled so easily."


    Bai Rui looked solemn and didn''t make a rejoinder. He stood in a defensive position, watching the other''s every move.


    Chu Yunxuan slowly walked forward step by step, fanning himself. He sighed. "My Lan Yue Camp has always cherished the talented. Your martial arts skills and light energy are all very good. It''s a pity that next year, this date will be your death anniversary!"


    When he finished speaking, he quickly sprang forward and the two of them exchanged a few blows. Chu Yunxuan used the gap between his folding fan''s metal ribs to hold Bai Rui''s de. He had many weapons and used a dagger in his left hand to cut towards Bai Rui''s wrist, trying to force him to abandon his sword.


    Bai Rui moved quickly, using both hands to turn the fan. The interlocked sword and fan actually flew up, out of the two people''s hands. Bai Rui didn''t retreat. Instead, he took two steps forward.


    He gathered the energy from his whole body into his palm, condensing into a spear of light. He threw it at Chu Yunxuan and pierced his abdomen.


    At the same time, Chu Yunxuan''s dagger flew toward Bai Rui''s heart. Bai Rui quickly dodged and the dagger struck the right side of his chest.


    Both of them were injured at the same time. Chu Yunxuan shouted but Bai Rui had just tightened his lips as if he didn''t feel anything. He suddenly jumped up and stepped on the still-solid light spear to catch the folding fan and sword that were still in the air. The force of the jump agitated Chu Yunxuan''s internal organs, worsening his injury.


    Chu Yunxuan was a veteran fighter of a hundred battles and quickly adapted. He reached for Bai Rui''s feet. The wind des from his hands made numerous cuts on Bai Rui''s feet. Bai Ruinded on Chu Yunxuan''s his shoulders. The short sword in his hand touched Chu Yunxuan''s neck.


    The air seemed to be stagnant. For a long time, no one spoke, but only a breathed quickly. Just now, the speed of events was too fast. Cheng Nuo and the other ordinary people couldn''t see what had happened clearly.


    "You lost." Bai Rui''s tone was emotionless. It was still the same as before.


    Chu Yunxuan was seriously injured. His handsome face was pale and distorted. After a long while, he smiled and said: "Yeah, I lost. Then, ording to our agreement, I will leave."


    Bai Rui slowly put his sword back into its sheath. He pulled out the dagger from his chest and put it down along with the folding fan. He slowly walked away. Since they had made a blood-curse contract, he was not afraid of the other person ying tricks on him.


    Chu Yunxuan''s eyes shed with bloodthirsty light. The light spear on the abdomen had already dissipated into the air but the blood flow hadn''t stopped. One of his subordinates ran towards him to treat his wound and he angrily kicked him away. He panted and leaped on a leopard beast, shouting, "Let''s go!"


    This group of bandits quickly left, their attitude much less arrogant and more gloomy than before.


    Bai Rui was wearing a light blue robe that was patched. He was now covered in blood and pale as a sheet. His usually rosy lips had lost all of their color. The residents of the slums and Bai Rui made no contact with each other. They made way for him, admiration and awe in their eyes.


    Cheng Nuo squeezed forward and anxiously eximed: "Bai Rui, how are you feeling?"


    Bai Rui looked at him coldly, and said the same thing as before: "Nosy."


    "…" Cheng Nuo was once again dumbfounded and speechless. Bai Rui walked forward, his face staunchly showing no pain. Because his feet were hurt, he had stumbled slightly. He clenched his teeth.


    How is this blood not a debt?


    Cheng Nuo couldn''t help but run over to him. Holding Bai Rui by his shoulders and waist, he shouted: "Cao Tou, bring me all the things in my house that I use for wounds!"


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd of people, Bai Rui''s pale face turned green. Even though he had bled so much that his body felt limp and weak, he quickly pulled out his short sword and ced it on Cheng Nuo''s neck. His voice that was always calm now revealed anger: "Let go of me or I''ll kill you!"
