"Your opponent is me."
Liu Yunqing easily parried the attack, while the two red-haired villains attempted to grab Si Youfeng and the others.
As he said this, he turned his palm in a different direction and gently pushed Si Youfeng and her companions away.
Hunting down is something the Red-Haired Duo must have long been used to.
Aside from some initial anger, after a few more times, I felt mostly excited.
The two had experienced countless chases, both big and small, but no matter how formidable the pursuers were, they always won. In fact, they even amassed a considerable fortune by turning the tables on their pursuers.
In recent years, as their cultivation level has increased, fewer and fewer people have been taking orders to hunt them down. The two of them haven't made money by killing others for a long time, so you can imagine how excited they were to see Liu Yunqing.
After Liu Yunqing pushed Si Youfeng and the others away, without even the most basic and hypocritical greetings, the two exchanged a glance and swiftly attacked Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunqing unleashed both palms simultaneously, a fiery red aura deflecting the attacks of the two, while also taking advantage of the moment to observe the two evil red-haired men.
The Red-Haired Twin Evils are both rogue cultivators and tribulation cultivators, and the kind of tribulation cultivators who are flexible and ruthless.
Since the two of them advanced to the Golden Core stage, countless outstanding young talents have fallen victim to them.
The two of them disregarded cause and effect and committed countless evil deeds. Even in the cultivation world, where might makes right, people would look down on their character.
These two people, who were utterly devoid of any moral character, never had any disagreements; their partnership was unbreakable.
Liu Yunqing didn't know why before, but now that she saw the two of them, she understood.
The two looked exactly alike, but their fighting styles complemented each other.
It seems that what binds the two together is either the bond of twin blood or the indispensable complementarity.
Their natal magical weapons were also quite unique; one used the Five-Claw Soul-Chasing Rope, and the other used the Crescent Moon Golden Wheel.
Liu Yunqing was not originally a close-combat fighter. In the past, when she needed to fight, she would be accompanied by some companions. When the fight started, someone would hold off the opponent for her, making it easier for her to use her archery skills.
After the last battle with the cultivators from the outer sea, although it ended in an absolute victory, Liu Yunqing still felt that he should perhaps prepare more melee skills and weapons.
Seeing the two evil red-haired figures attacking from the left and right, attempting to lock him down with their magical treasures, Liu Yunqing made hand seals, simultaneously conjuring two small but lifelike fire dragons in his palms, which wrapped around the two magical treasures like vines.
While the two dragons were locked in combat with the two evil ones, Liu Yunqing flashed and moved to the side of the person using the Five-Claw Soul-Chasing Rope. With a clench of his hands, a pair of mandarin duck blades twisted towards one of the evil ones like two wheels.
The Five-Clawed Soul-Chasing Rope was locked in combat with the fire dragon and couldn't defend itself in time, so the Red-Haired Evil had to free up one hand to fight.
Meanwhile, although the fire dragon caused a lot of trouble for the evil one who wielded the crescent-shaped golden wheel, it eventually lost its master's control and could not match the golden wheel, and soon dissipated into the air.
"Brother! I'm here to help you!"
As he spoke, the crescent-shaped golden wheel split in two, hurtling towards Liu Yunqing's back with the force of thunder and lightning.
Meanwhile, Liu Yunqing, taking advantage of the moment when the first pair of mandarin duck swords broke through the opponent's defenses, used one of the two swords to strike the opponent's left shoulder.
Feeling a chill in my back, I shot straight up into the sky, perfectly upright.
Then, the twin blades were filled with fire elemental power, causing the blades to vibrate and scorching with heat that made the air crackle and pop, as they attacked the two of them respectively.
Enraged by Liu Yunqing's attack, the two evil men with red hair exchanged a glance and unleashed their Soul-Chasing Rope and Golden Wheel simultaneously.
The crescent-shaped golden wheel headed straight for Liu Yunqing's vitals, while the five-clawed soul-chasing rope bypassed Liu Yunqing, circled around her from behind, and quickly wrapped around the crescent-shaped golden wheel from the other side.
Seeing this, Si Youfeng, who was watching from a distance, noticed that Liu Yunqing seemed unaware of the hidden meaning and couldn't help but shout anxiously:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, be careful!!!"
Seeing that Liu Yunqing remained unmoved, Si Youfeng's worry deepened, and he paced back and forth.
None of Si Youfeng's friends recognized Liu Yunqing. Only when Si Youfeng addressed him as "Fellow Daoist Zhenru" did some of them realize who he was, and they exclaimed in surprise:
"Junior Sister Feng, you call her Fellow Daoist Zhenru. Could this person be the famous rogue cultivator Zhenru who dared to challenge the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune?"
Si Youfeng nodded, his eyes fixed on Liu Yunqing, and said perfunctorily:
"Who else could it be but her?"
Aside from the freaks of the Wuji Sword Sect, who else would be as foolish as Liu Zhenru, who, with only early-stage Golden Core cultivation, would hunt down the late-stage Golden Core Crimson-Haired Duo?
Although these two are independent cultivators and cannot compare to the solid foundation of disciples from major sects, the fact that they have survived until now means that they possess solid skills in killing and escaping.
Si Youfeng admitted that Liu Yunqing was very strong, but she was not very optimistic about him defeating the Red-Haired Duo.
Unfortunately, she could only remain pessimistic; with her current cultivation level, she couldn't help Liu Yunqing in the slightest.
It is also possible that after Liu Yunqing's pursuit fails, it will attract the revenge of the two evil men with red hair.
Thinking of this, Si Youfeng frowned quickly and turned to her fellow disciples, saying:
"Why don't you leave first? I'm afraid the Red-Haired Duo will seek revenge later."
The other companions glanced at the scene and instantly understood Si Youfeng's thoughts. They exchanged glances and then took their leave one after another.
The last person to reach the end saw that Si Youfeng was not leaving and offered a few words of advice, but Si Youfeng politely declined and then turned and left.
After everyone had left, Si Youfeng thought for a moment, then concealed himself even more, and focused intently on the situation in the arena.
Little did Si Youfeng know that he couldn't see the situation clearly at all.
The only thing visible was the Soul-Chasing Rope and the Crescent Moon Golden Wheel, which had ensnared the souls of countless cultivators, like a net that firmly locked a ball of golden-red light.
"What should we do? Are we really going to lose?"
Si Youfeng was anxious. She wanted to ask for help but didn't know who to turn to. She wanted to help but felt that she wasn't good enough.
Just as she was pacing around in the shadows, taking out the communication talisman several times and then taking it back, hesitating and not knowing what to do, she suddenly felt the earth tremble and her head spin.
Forcing himself to look towards the center of the battle, he saw something about to break free from the light cluster that the two had locked up.
Si Youfeng opened her mouth, but before she could utter a sound, the ball of light exploded completely—
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
"puff--"
"puff--"
The moment the ball of light exploded, the two red-haired villains were sent flying backwards. The Soul-Chasing Rope and the Crescent Moon Golden Wheel in their hands disappeared without a trace. The two were left only with the strength to lie on the ground and spit out blood.
Immediately afterwards, a series of clattering sounds rang out as the two red-haired villains once again coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
White smoke suddenly appeared from their dantian, as if a strange fire had descended from the sky, precisely burning their dantian.
The exploding ball of light had now turned into a sea of fire.
