Chapter 211 Fighting to the Death to Protect Each Other
Qin Ke knew that Niu Buyue's arrival was not accidental, and now every word he said was directed at Zhong Min, and his intention was obvious.
Seeing this, Qin Ke's face darkened. He was no longer as polite as before. Instead, he replied in a very cold tone, "Brother, you are meddling too much. I don't need you to worry about Qin Ke's affairs. Brother, what is the important matter that brought you here today? Please tell me frankly. If there is nothing else, I am sorry that Qin Ke has important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."
"What are you so anxious about, Junior Brother? Look at you. I just mentioned the woman behind you, and you're acting like a hedgehog. What are you doing? Women, there are plenty of them in this world. With your abilities, you can get whatever you want. There's no need to hang yourself on this one woman, right?"
Nian Buyue obviously didn't take Qin Ke's change of expression to heart and continued, "Don't blame me for not warning you. In my opinion, that woman and you are not on the same path. You care about her, but she may not have you in her heart. Don't be silly. What's the point of staying with a woman who doesn't care about you all day? It's useless. It's better to let go of what doesn't belong to you and look for something better. Isn't that a good thing?"
Qin Ke knew what was going on. He was afraid that Nian Buyue had come here on someone's orders to capture Zhong Min. These people really had good intentions. To deal with him, they even found someone like Nian Buyue. It really took a lot of thought.
However, no matter who it was, he wouldn't back down. If they wanted to take Min'er away from him, they had to ask the sword in his hand if it agreed. So what if Nian Buyue was here? Even if his master came, he wouldn't obey. Even if it meant his death, he would protect Zhong Min!
"Nian Bu Yue, just say what you want to say. You know my personality. I'm not the type to beat around the bush!" There's no need to call him "senior brother" anymore. Anyone who dares to touch Zhong Min's thoughts is Qin Ke's enemy.
"Boy, you're really stubborn. Well, since you called me your senior brother earlier, I won't bother with you too much!" Nian Buyue put away his previous good expression and said contemptuously, "If you know what's good for you, leave quickly. My goal is just to take that girl away, not to embarrass you."
"Everything else can be discussed, except this one!" Qin Ke said without hesitation, the sword in his hand ready for battle.
"You think you can stop me?" Nian Buyue laughed heartily, looking at Qin Ke with a joking look. "Even though you are Master's most proud and most trusted disciple, you are still a little too young for me. Not to mention that you are missing an arm now, even if you had all four limbs, you would not be my opponent. If you fight me head-on, you will definitely lose!"
"Win or lose, you'll know once you try. I won't let you take her away! No one can!" Qin Ke's face was as cold as ice, and he ignored Nian Buyue's threats and disdain. A huge energy surged in his heart, like the blood-red sunset in the sky, emitting a magnificent light.
Seeing this, Nian Buyue knew that it would be impossible to convince this stubborn guy in front of him just by talking, but it didn't matter. Soon, he would use his actions and strength to prove to everyone that ruthlessness can be expressed with more than just words.
"In that case, it seems that a battle today is inevitable! Come on, junior brother, let me see how many real skills the master has taught you!" Nian Buyue drew out the sword in his hand as he spoke, and suddenly the sword energy was like a tide, sweeping towards Qin Ke.
Seeing this, Qin Ke was not to be outdone. He drew his sword and went forward to meet the enemy. The two men soon started fighting, and a tough battle began.
Zhong Min was stunned watching from the side. She had long guessed that this Nian Bu Yue must have come for her, but she never thought that this person was Qin Ke’s former fellow disciple. No wonder Qin Ke had come to the conclusion before even meeting him. It seemed that this person’s power was really great.
She was utterly nervous, staring intently at the two men fighting in front of her. However, both men were incredibly agile, their attacks many times faster than those of ordinary people, so she could only see the flashing of swords and shadows, and nothing else. Who was stronger, who had the upper hand, and whether Qin Ke could withstand them? She had no idea. Apart from nervousness and worry, she felt like she couldn't help at all.
While Nian Buyue and Qin Ke were fighting, some of the secret guards who had been following them secretly arrived to protect them. They protected Zhong Min to the side and also observed the fight between the two people in front of them at any time. It was obvious that this was definitely a contest between top masters. Even if they wanted to step forward to help, they seemed powerless because the airflow formed by the internal force of the two was too strong, so strong that ordinary people could not easily approach it.
Therefore, they had no choice but to hold back and protect Zhong Min as Qin Ke instructed. They would have to wait until the situation became clearer before making any other plans.
"Xiao Liu, you are familiar with martial arts, so you must be able to see it clearly. Why don't you tell me who has the upper hand now?" Zhong Min couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to ask Xiao Liu who was standing beside him.
Xiao Liu knew that Zhong Min was worried, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. Hero Qin is not at a disadvantage at the moment."
Since he was not at a disadvantage, it meant that the two of them were now evenly matched. In this case, Zhong Min would definitely be worried. Qin Ke would certainly not dare to underestimate his enemy. I think he would give his all without reservation when he went up, but that Nian Buyue did not necessarily give his all at the beginning.
"Then tell me the truth. How much of your strength did Brother Qin use, and how much did Nian Buyue use?" Zhong Min didn't look at Xiaoliu, but his tone was irresistibly firm.
"This..." Xiao Liu didn't know whether to tell the truth for a moment when he heard it. After watching them fight for a while, he had a clue in his mind. If Qin Ke hadn't lost that arm, he might be able to fight Nian Buyue to a draw, but now, it was hard to say.
"What's this? Just tell me quickly! I want to hear the truth!" Zhong Min was extremely anxious. She knew Qin Ke's character very well. For Li Jin'er, he would even give up his life. Even if he knew that he was no match for Nian Buyue, he would never abandon her.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu couldn't hide it any longer. Even if he didn't say it now, Zhong Min would sooner or later see the problem as the fight continued. So, after hesitating for a moment, he finally told the truth: "Hero Qin has already used all his strength, but Nian Buyue didn't use his full strength, and..."
Before he could finish his words, Nian Buyue suddenly leaped up and shouted at Qin Ke, "Junior brother, if this is all you can do, then I'm doomed to fail today!"
As he spoke, Nian Buyue swung his sword, clearly infusing it with more internal energy than before. With a single swing, he thrust it directly at Qin Ke. His internal energy was so formidable that even Zhong Min and Xiao Liu, who were some distance away, could sense its terrifying power.
Seeing this, Qin Ke also summoned his inner strength and swung his sword to meet the attack. There was a loud bang as the two swords collided. In an instant, two huge air currents formed around them, counteracting each other. For a moment, it was as if there was a suction force that sucked up the sand and dust on the ground, causing them to collide and fly everywhere. The scene was very scary.
"Girl, be careful!" Xiao Liu said as he used his body to block Zhong Min and used his internal energy to dissolve the extremely destructive internal energy coming towards him.
At this moment, there was a loud bang and another loud noise. Zhong Min looked over quickly and saw that Qin Ke seemed to be hit by something. He suddenly lost his balance and took four or five steps back. However, Nian Buyue was standing there without any problem, looking at Qin Ke and laughing.
But soon, Qin Ke actually knelt on one knee on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood without saying a word. He looked very scary.
"Brother Qin!" Zhong Min was terrified. He pushed aside Xiao Liu, who was protecting him, and ran towards Qin Ke without hesitation. Seeing this, Xiao Liu quickly followed with his men to protect Zhong Min and Qin Ke.
"Brother Qin, how are you?" Zhong Min hurriedly helped Qin Ke up. Looking at his pale face and the blood at the corner of his mouth, she felt like she was about to hold back her tears.
Qin Ke struggled to stand up. Seeing Zhong Min so worried about him, he felt indescribable joy in his heart. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook his head and comforted Zhong Min, saying, "Silly girl, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."
"Just a minor injury?" Nian Buyue couldn't help but laugh even harder when he heard that. He said disdainfully, "Junior brother, I think you've really been poisoned. What kind of drug did this girl feed you that you're willing to sacrifice your own life? Is it worth it for a woman?"
"Whether it's worth it or not, I know it in my heart, but how can someone like you understand it!" Qin Ke replied coldly: "Nian Bu Yue, don't be complacent, I won't lose to you!"
"Really? Boy, you really don't know your place. I only used 70% of my strength just now and you couldn't hold on. If you keep fighting, you'll be dead! Get out of the way if you know what's good for you. I still say the same thing. As long as you ignore this matter, I'll let you go for the sake of our fellow disciples." Nian Buyue narrowed his eyes and said cruelly, "Otherwise, I'll deal with you first today, and then I'll deal with these guys. Then this girl will still have to come with me!"
"Dream on! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" Qin Ke suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Master also taught me a unique skill. Today, I will let you open your eyes!"
After saying that, Qin Ke pushed Zhong Min back and stepped forward again with the sword in hand. Nian Buyue also laughed and walked forward nonchalantly, and the two started fighting again.
Zhong Min was even more worried and subconsciously wanted to step forward. Qin Ke was already injured, and further fighting would only make things worse. However, Xiao Liu and the others were already on guard and surrounded her. "Young lady, please don't step forward for now, or you might get hurt by the internal force!"
