4 CHEN MIN

The Masked Swordsman instantly increased his vigilance. He felt a murderous aura being deliberately released.

"Watch out!"

Liu was taken aback and realized something was up. Everyone panicked at the Swordsman's screams including Liu who had increased his vigilance.

"Down!"

Immediately they ducked down, covered their heads with their hands and no one dared to look.

Liu sensed a threat coming. However, so far he had not seen the presence of the enemy until the Masked Swordsman had finally taken him by surprise.

He jumped as high as he could. There was a sound like something speeding up coming from the south. The Masked Swordsman showed rapid hand movements as if he was catching something.

Liu didn't notice the attack coming from the South and in the end the Swordsman came back down, showing his catch.

Liu widened his eyes, what the Swordsman caught was the same needle as the needle that came out of the girl's body.

Xio Chen was no less surprised. The Masked Swordsman managed to catch several fast-moving needles with one bare hand. However the Swordsman's abilities were not to be taken lightly. From the way he moves and displays abilities, he doesn't seem to be from this Kingdom.

"Who did this? Get out you coward! Don't just play behind the scenes, you! Your little needle can't hurt me, Coward!"

After he shouted, Liu realized that the enemy was already there and the weapon used was the Needle.

The same needle, which managed to make humans fall. The swordsman looked all over the place. However, before he managed to find Liu already shouted.

"Chen Min!"

Liu had been suspicious from the start of the incoming enemy. When he saw the needles in the Masked Swordsman's hands, Liu already knew the owner of the needles.

Who else if not Chen Min, who was famous as a poison expert. No one has ever survived his artificial poison, even though his opponent is a titled Swordsman. Even the King's Swordsman couldn't neutralize his artificial poison and often ended up paralyzed.

"Unlucky!"

Chen Min cursed in annoyance, as the scented needles he threw out couldn't actually hurt the Masked Swordsman. Instead, the Swordsman shattered the Precious Needles like tearing paper.

It wasn't just the Masked Swordsman who noticed his presence. However, Liu, who was also there, noticed and made Chen Min take quick action.

A while ago Chen Min had indeed been on the roof to watch the Masked Swordsman expel the poison from the girl's body. In fact the needle was successfully removed and he was annoyed that Chen Min finally threw a few of the same needles at the Swordsman.

Unexpectedly, the swordsman managed to catch him easily. Liu also knew Chen Min's whereabouts, which made him immediately run away.

"Don't run you Chen Min!"

Liu couldn't help but give chase. He jumped up and chased Chen Min.

The swordsman saw Liu who was chasing Chen Min. He didn't know their names. However, it could sense that the man who was supposed to be the owner of the needles had the same strength as a Titled Swordsman and so did the man who was chasing after him.

After the Needles shattered into dust flakes, the Swordsman wearing the mask immediately chased after the two. His steps were so fast that everyone could no longer see his figure.

***

In fact, Chen Min's escape came to a bamboo forest which was far from the market. The bamboos here grow big, thick and tall. Its location far from residential areas makes the bamboo forest often used as a base for robbers. I don't know how many reports have been from traders who met robbers when they were about to pass through the forest.

Chen Min didn't care about all that, he purposely lured Liu into the bamboo forest. Not without reason, Chen Min is very familiar with the intricacies of the forest which makes him confident to beat Liu. While the young man from Dao Bao Hu did not know the forest area that could be Liu's weakness when fighting.

Yes….

Chen Min immediately threw some poison needles at Liu and of course the young man managed to dodge the attack.

Chen Min cursed in annoyance as the fragrant needles could only hit the bamboo stalks and not Liu's head. However, Chen Min didn't just stop, he again threw a few needles at Liu. This time one of Liu's hands almost hit the needle, but he was still able to dodge.

Chen Min was indeed at the level of a Titled Swordsman. However, Liu is also at the same level, in the end Liu can only be on the defensive.

Even so, Cehn Min's attacks always missed. The needles he threw never hit Liu, instead destroying the bamboo tree massively.

The poisonous needle that Chen Min created has extraordinary power if the needle were to hit a human, then all existing nerves would die and end up with a life that could not be saved.

This can happen to Xio Mi, Xio Chen's daughter who managed to escape death thanks to the help of the Masked Warrior.

Liu kept jumping from one bamboo stick to another. Every time the needle hits a bamboo stick, the tree instantly melts into dust.

Liu, who witnessed firsthand the prowess of the needle, could only swallow his saliva. Can't imagine if a needle managed to pierce him? Chances are he'll end up the same, like that bamboo stick.
