Chapter 640: Chuyi is Severely Wounded


    I couldnt countthe number ofcuts Zen MasterBaimeimadebefore he finally stopped. I felt my eyes wateryas I countedthirteen jujube-sized ironcaltropstaken out of Chuyis flesh!


    Chuyis back didnt have a square inch of intact skin.It could be worse, though.At least,thecaltropscouldnt release any more toxins after they were taken out.


    Zen MasterBaimeitook out some ointment from Chuyis bag and applied it on his back. Most of the ointments Chuyi created weremultipurpose. At the moment of contact, Chuyi whimpered. His back fumed white smoke. I instinctively wanted to wipe the ointment away. Zen MasterBaimeipushed me awayand hissed, Dont disturb me if you know nothing!


    I was baffled. I had known him for a long time, and it was the first time hed talked to me like that. Then, he continued to smear the ointment all over Chuyis back, which made the man fall unconscious,then wakeupfromthe pain.


    I couldnt stand itand leftthe room. If it werent for me, Chuyiwouldnt haveneeded toe here. He wouldnt haveto endure such pain! At this moment, Iknew I had to bestronger. The feeling was stronger thanever before.I finally recognized how weak I was.Ipledgedto be as strong as the Demon King. I would never let anyone who cared about me get hurt, even if I had to die!


    When Ireturnedto the room, Zen MasterBaimeihad finished applying the ointment. Chuyi was sleeping.


    I should have gone with you guys. Zen MasterBaimeimed himself.


    I thought I could stay to provide you withinformation.Butas soon as you two left, I couldnt see the imageson thescreen anymore. I went downstairs to ask the people what they saw,butthey couldnt see me.I couldnt hear them,either!


    He had confirmed my guess. The Ghost Markets bosses had used their supernatural powers toistethesixof us. Anyway, everything was somehow rtive. If we couldnt get useful information, of course, Yi Zhangqing couldnt,either.


    Although the Ghost Cutter was fierce, it had a big w. Its range was limited, which wasdifferent from the Invisible Needle that could go everywhere. Itmeant that Yi Zhangqingwasntfar from usback then. It was just thatwe hadnt been able to see her.


    Chuyi woke up in the afternoon. Although he was free from the toxin, the wounds on his back werestill there. He looked pale.When he woke up, the first thing he didwas ask if I had heard any informationabout Yi Zhangqing.


    Yin-YangTiger and One-Armed Dragonhave left. It seems Yi Zhangqing has returned to the vige, Zen Master Baimei said with a dark face.


    He stood by the window andhad put onaface ever since he knew Chuyiwasseverelyinjured. Zen MasterBaimeiand Chuyi were like me and Li Mazi. They had beenthroughmany deadly situations. I understoodhow he felt.


    Chuyi closed his eyes for a few minutes. When he opened his eyes again, he said, Ivegot a solution.I cant engage in a fight with her, though. We have to find a chance to catch her. Otherwise, Ill lose this match.


    Chuyi turned to Zen MasterBaimei and gavehim a wry smile. Old monk, please help me run some errands.


    Zen MasterBaimeinodded and left the inn. A momentter, Chuyi said that he was hungry.While carryingthe bronze whip, hestarted to headdownstairs to eat something.


    Why dont you bring the Han sword? You never fight without it.


    No need.Jiulin, because of you, I wont lose.


    Ismiled at him and saidnothing.


    We went to the same private roomfor atelunch. Theinnkeeperbrought us the samedishes. I didnt know why, but as soon as the food was served, Chuyi started to wolf down his food while urging me to hurry.


    Around two minutester, he had finished his bowlwhileI had just moved my chopsticks. Hiscell phonesuddenly vibrated. He dropped his chopsticksand pattedme. Stop eating.


    Then, he pointed behind his back. I got it now.Zen MasterBaimeihad gone out to watch out for us. I ced my chopsticks on the table and drew out the Emei Piercer. Ivigntlylookedat the window. Soon, a wisp of imperceptible Yin energy moved through the windowand flewtoward thedisheson our table.


    I smiled at Chuyi sitting opposite meand raisedmy hand. Right after that, chicken drums, braised pork, and stir-fried kidney flew toward us one after another. Although I was prepared, I was still surprised. There was a lot offoodon our table, andit wassmaller than the bats we had encountered before,whichI couldnt avoidatall.


    Fortunately, Chuyi showed his magnificent speed one more time. He spun the bronze whipand createda tight circle in front of us, which shielded us from thefood.


    Instantly, the walls and ceilingof the private dining room got all kinds of meat stuck on them. A small cube of braised porknded on my face.AsI knew that Chuyi had smashed away the Yin energy from the Ghost Cutter, I calmly extended my tongue and rolled the meat into my mouth


    The Ghost Cuttercantpare toyour Invisible Needle. Yi Zhangqingcanonly control it barely.Sinceher previous ambushwasunsessful, Im sure shes received a bacsh.


    Chuyipaused, thensneered. Weveexperiencedtwo waves of her attacks. It should be my turn now.


    I was a little bewildered. Until now, Chuyididnt know much about the bronze whip. He couldnt control it yet. Where did his confidencee from?


    Without giving me time to ask, Chuyis phone vibrated again. He checked it, then said coldly, Zen MasterBaimeihas seen Yi Zhangqingleavingthe vige. Im sure she knowsthatwere looking for her. ShellgotoYin-YangTiger and One-Armed Dragon for help. Zen MasterBaimeiis after them. We should hurry!


    Chuyi pulled me. Together, we left the vige.We were ina new world, butI wasnt worriedabout gettinglost this time. Just like the tacit understanding between me and Li Mazi,Chuyiand Zen MasterBaimei alsohadamutual understanding that other people couldnt understand.


    Indeed, not long after we had entered this strange space, Yi Zhangqing appeared in our vision. She was limping.


    Chuyi sneered. It seemsthebacshwasmore serious than I thought.


    Yi Zhangqing was startled. She turned andlooked atChuyi. Haha. Iveunderestimated you! Youwere able togeton your feetin such a short time. But Im sure your back is hurtinglike hell, right?


    She was trying to provoke him. After talking, shughed crazily.


    My face turned sullen. My Invisible Needle was ready. Chuyi stopped meand loweredhis voice. Just stand and watch the fun.


    You see, this ce isnt bad.Why dontyou tworestforever? Yi Zhangqing barked. Then, she threw some hidden weaponsatus.


    Id expected herto throwthe hidden weapons. I moved aside, butChuyi didnt move. Hedidnt want to move, to be exact. Yi Zhangqings hidden weapon hit his stomach. Chuyi halted for a moment, but he continued to moveforward.


    Yi Zhangqing hesitated for a moment. Then, shethrewmore hidden weapons towards him. Chuyi didntdodge even thoughhed lost a lot of blood.


    Aftergetting hit, he shook a few times. He almost tumbled. I rushed to support him. He pushed me aside and nodded at me. Persistently, he walked toward Yi Zhangqing.


    Yourecourtingdeath!


    Yi Zhangqing thought that Chuyihad done thatto insult her. She was mad. Holding the Ghost Cutter, she sat down cross-legged. It seemed she wasgoing for the kill!
