Since that battle on the Green Jade Mountain, Qin Wushuang had some experience in fighting against an elite warrior that excelled in the underground technique. He thought that if Devil Boy was to enter this forest, he would surely use the underground tactic. He would never scramble in boldly as it was equivalent to turning himself into a live target for Qin Wushuang to attack him.
For sure, Devil Boy had such cleverness.
Qin Wushuang was like a leopard cat as he jumped left and right and hid his body among the lush leaves of a large tree. From this angle, he could see all the changes around him.
Devil Boy who was underground could not observe him. This way, regarding the terrain, Qin Wushuang was taking the upper hand unconsciously.
Gracious Spiritual Bow…
Repeatedly, Qin Wushuang only had these three words.
He knew that to kill this Devil Boy, he could only use the Gracious Spiritual Bow as a surprise attack to win. Most likely, his other methods and weapons would not be enough to take down Devil Boy.
Qin Wushuang had more or less saw some tricks through the battle between the Devil Boy and Zhao Muzhi. He knew that he had extraordinary methods. If he were to fight him head on, although he might not lose, Qin Wushuang’s chance to win was slim.
In general, they were evenly matched.
That outcome would be meaningless. Qin Wushuang did not intend to come to a draw since he had lured him here. Since this Devil Boy was extremely strong and a Core disciple, he would surely be a formidable enemy in this Friendly Competition.
He needed to kill him!
This was Qin Wushuang’s plan.
He also wanted to try the power of that Gracious Spiritual Bow! On that day, Senior Brother had already demonstrated that Piercing Cloud bow’s extreme power. And he said that this Gracious Bow was much stronger than his Piercing Cloud Bow. Then, what effect would it give?
Qin Wushuang looked forward to it!
However, he was not in a hurry. Now was not the time to use the Gracious Spiritual Bow.
When Devil Boy went underground, he was also secretly feeling Qin Wushuang’s approximate location. Naturally, Qin Wushuang knew Devil Boy’s movements as everything was within his calculations.
Suddenly, Devil Boy stopped as he locked onto his enemy’s approximate location. Inwardly, he gave an eerie laugh as his body shot upwards abruptly and clawed with his hands to draw countless illusions. He clawed toward the giant tree that Qin Wushuang was hiding in.
These tens of thousands of devil claws wreaked havoc.
One can only see that rich and diverse dead leaves fall through the sky. In a moment, the previously lush giant tree had become a dead tree.
Devil Boy laughed and shouted to show his power:
Let’s see you hide! Let’s see where you can hide!

After he had finished, he waved both of his hands to sweep over.
As a strong wind rolled up, chill wind kept flipping up like the devil crying miserably from the ninth hell. He slashed horizontally with his sharp and cold claws and broke the giant tree, with the width of two humans, into halves.
Ka-la-la!
With the sound of the breaking tree, Qin Wushuang jumped a few times like a light swallow and dropped on the nearby tree. This way, birds fluttered across the sky from the tree as they were scared to the extreme and escaped through the sky accompanied with waves of miserable cries.
When Devil Boy saw Qin Wushuang did not fight with him, he was furious:
When are you going to stop running?

Qin Wushuang said coldly:
if you’ve got the skill, come at me, why do you care what I do?

Devil Boy laughed eerily:
Ok, I have more than enough tactics. Since you love playing, I will play with you!

After he had finished, he raised both of his hands and withdrew his devil claws. He rubbed his hands and again, both hands turned into two chopping blades.
Now, Devil Boy’s hands was like a mantis waving both of his hands. He coiled his legs and shot to the sky to chop toward Qin Wushuang.
This move was the
Mantis Blade
as both blades merged into one blade and emanated a cold light. With the shining, yet malevolent blade lights, it appeared as cold as the blood scythe from hell.
Like a chain, the blade moved to chop his stomach with the temperament as if he was going to slash the mountain.
Qin Wushuang only felt lights flash before his eyes. In the next moment, his body shot forward and evaded to the side.
He only had one goal and that was to make Devil Boy feel numb. He wanted him to feel that he had no power to resist against him.
When the Devil Boy saw Qin Wushuang acting like this, he gave an eerie laugh and stopped cursing. Both feet jumped upwards like a frog and his arms also flipped to wave the blade again.
This time, he used two blades. Like two dashing horse, he went to charge towards him from left and right.
Qin Wushuang lowered his body and started to drop to the ground.
When Devil Boy saw this action, he became furious while his body also dropped. He said with a furious tone:
To make one’s escape, is this all you people from the Dragon and Tiger sect know?

Indeed, this Devil Boy was simple-minded as he misidentified Qin Wushuang as a disciple from the Tiger and Dragon sect.
Qin Wushuang laughed coldly:
Besides your mouth, I don’t see any other special skills.

Upon hearing the words, Devil Boy became furious as his anger intensified. He rolled both of the blades and kept chopping, slashing like the snowflakes falling to cover the roof.
Blade lights filled the sky. It was as if the silver bottle had become damaged as that miserable blade light emitted a sonorous sound. These blade lights covered Qin Wushuang within the attack zone and exploded.
Qin Wushuang knew that most likely, this Devil Boy was going out of control.
By going out of control meant he had lost control of his power and it would be the moment to counterattack. With rich combat experience, Qin Wushuang had understood this reason clearly.
Indeed, Devil Boy was going out of control. He always enjoyed killing. During the battle, he had especially enjoyed seeing the cruel scene where his enemy’s blood was flowing to the ground. This way, he would enjoy a refreshed feeling. This time, while he was fighting with Qin Wushuang, he felt that he had no place to unleash his power. Everytime, his attacks could not hit their target. It made him feel extremely depressed and stupid.
He had these feelings not because he was weaker than his enemy, but because the opponent did not even fight him. He felt powerless.
He needed to tear Qin Wushuang into pieces. Only this way, it could relieve his hatred.
Suddenly, Devil Boy felt a blur before his eyes as a wave of sharp torrent shot at him. he felt that vaguely, it was a wave of Spiritual Qi? Instead of feeling angered, Devil Boy was overjoyed.
A counterattack?
Devil Boy was extremely happy. He was not afraid of a counterattack, but afraid that the opponent would only dodge and run!
He withdrew both blades to protect his chest!
Clang! With one explosive sound. Qin Wushuang’s <Coagulated Sword> had hit the body of the blade. Instantly, the body of the blade had caved in.
However, Devil Boy gave a vicious laugh as he waved his palm and brushed it across that hand blade hit by Qin Wushuang. Marvelous lights flew out and one looked again, that disfiguration had returned to normal!
One did not know how this hand blade had such outstanding regeneration ability!
Of course, Qin Wushuang’s sword attack a moment ago was only an ordinary
Seeded Sword
. He did not use the
Ice Sword Qi
that he had comprehended in the cave.
Currently, they were in the middle of the hot summer and it was not suitable to unleash this
Ice Sword Qi.
Qin Wushuang knew this principle well and did not force himself to use it. After all, that method would take away too much Spiritual Qi. Since he was not in the best environment, it would be best to not force himself to use it.
Or else, the result would not only be bad, but would also make him lose his tempo.
He decided to use the Violet Sun Sword!
In a flash of red light, the Violet Sun Sword appeared in Qin Wushuang’s hand.
Devil Boy waved both of his blades and shouted:
Would you dare to fight me head on?

However, Qin Wushuang was not scared :
Initially I only let you get away, do you truly think I am scared of you, you dwarf?

Being someone with the mutated Spiritual Roots, Devil Boy had always had a tender spot over his strange looking face and body. When he was walking on the road, whoever dared to looked at him more than others, he would torture them to death. Not to mention that Qin Wushuang who had openly called him a dwarf.
He became furious instantly and letting out a growl, he moved to chop with both blades.
Qin Wushuang did not back up with the Violet Sun Sword. He shot the sword to the sky and slashed out three waves of sword Qi and clashed with that blade light.
Boom!
The clash of the powerful red and white light had forced the Spiritual Qi everywhere. Like countless concealed swords, it had slashed the leaves falling to the ground like a rain of falling leaves.
After this head on attack with Qin Wushuang, Devil Boy also felt extremely refreshed. He realized that this opponent was not ordinary as his strength was much more powerful than that Zhao Muzhi.
This opponent would make Devil Boy feel excited and joyous. He would feel even more refreshed by torturing such an opponent.
When he thought here, suddenly, Devil Boy rolled his body into a meatball covered by white lights. Then, he charged at Qin Wushuang directly like a cannonball. Both blade hands waved like flying snowflakes and his entire body balled up like a porcupine covered in sharp spikes.
Qin Wushuang clenched the Violet Sun Sword and with a loud roar, he also slashed down the middle.
With a whoosh, a dragon like Sword Qi rushed out to hit the body of Devil Boy. Currently, Devil Boy was like a spinning wheel as he had rolled up sneakily and went around that wave of Sword Qi. Then, he charged at Qin Wushuang again.
Qin Wushuang did not fear as he suddenly threw his left hand and whipped out six circles from small to large to hold Devil Boy.
The length of the snake shaped soft whip had its advantage. With this attack, it seemed like six circles that was gradually becoming larger. In fact, it was six sharp and tight binding forces. As long as Devil Boy got hit by one of the coils, he could only wait to be captured.
Devil Boy knew the tricks of it as he did not dare to move forward when he saw six rotating binding coils moving to hit him. He sprung his body into the air and opened the shrunken meatball body. Then, he flipped his blades to catch the snake shaped whip.
While he was going to take this whip, a trace of a strange smile emerged on the corner of the Devil Boy’s mouth. Suddenly, in a white flash, these two blades had changed back to that pair of cold claws as he grabbed the handle of the snake shaped whip.
Qin Wushuang seemed to have realized Devil Boy’s methods as he did not dodge. Earlier, he had also witnessed how Devil Boy had cut the Magistrate Brush by using his sharp claws.
However, Qin Wushuang had his own methods…
Inwardly, Devil Boy felt joyous when he saw that Qin Wushuang did not take back his long whip as he went to tear it off. At this time, Devil Boy felt as if he had gotten shocked as his entire body trembled violently. He only felt as if something had seized his sea of Spiritual Qi viciously as a wave of strong discomfort emerged!
What is going on? Inwardly, Devil Boy was shocked.
