Chapter 164: Chasing the Killer

Slash!

The leaf struck his waist.

This time, it was a real Autumn Leaf Blade.

"Hiss!" Qing Huai suddenly gasped, and his whole body tensed up.

It hurt so much!

The waist muscles were the most difficult to strengthen, especially near the back waist. He wanted to use his muscles to clamp the Autumn Leaf Blade, but he failed.

Fortunately, his C-rank physique was indeed strong, and the Autumn Leaf Blade could only pierce through less than half an inch of his flesh.

But Qing Huai knew that the teenager's goal was not to kill himself with the Autumn Leaf Blade but to slow down his speed.

As time passed, more and more poisonous insects followed Qing Huai. The dark cloud was just a small clump at first, but now it looked like a huge thunderstorm cloud, making it seem extremely terrifying.

Hearing the buzzing sound approaching from behind, Qing Huai felt that he might have attracted all the poisonous insects from the edge of the Forbidden Land!

He bent down all of a sudden. His thighs, calves, and feet activated like a burning machine.

As a C-level master, this was his last potential!

He could feel the very little amount of fat in his body being burnt, turning into fuel for his body.

A leap forward.

Like an arrow taking off, he quickly broke away from the giant cluster of insects around him.

However...

This was the moment that Qing Chen was waiting for.

Qing Chen, who had been keeping a steady distance, looked calm, calm as the surface of a lake, and his eyes were crystal clear like the water in the lake.

Just as Qing Huai was about to land from his leap forward...

Qing Chen released dozens of leaves on his left hand. The leaves fell down slowly as if they were sending Qing Huai off, at the same time, they blocked Qing Huai's view.

As the leaves were falling, Qing Chen's right hand which was behind his back the whole time suddenly exerted power on three Autumn Leaf Blades.

At the speed of lightning...

In Qing Huai's eyes, three Autumn Leaf Blades pierced through the gaps of the falling leaves and locked onto three vital points on his body.

Heart, spleen, and abdomen!

Qing Huai started leveraging the strength of his waist and hips again, trying to turn his body so he could use his stronger muscular groups to take the hits.

But just as he turned his back to Qing Chen, Qing Chen picked out another piece of leaf from his hair and shot it toward Qing Huai's neck!

This was exactly what Qing Chen wanted.

Mom Ye once said that if not protected, one's carotid arteries on either side of the neck would be the weakest part. It was being exposed to the open air and only protected by a thin layer of skin.

Once pierced, within seconds the brain would stop functioning from lack of oxygen.

An enemy would generally subconsciously protect there, but if one day you could learn to let your enemies open their vital points to you, the neck would be a fine choice.

Time seemed to have slowed down.

No, time couldn't actually slow down.

But just as Qing Chen released his Autumn Leaf Blade, the cloud chasing after Qing Huai stopped and slowly dispersed.

They didn't seem to need to check whether the Autumn Leaf Blade would hit Qing Huai or not. The terrifying Forbidden Land already knew the result.

The person who broke the rules would die soon, and there was no need to chase further.

Qing Chen's pupils shrunk into a vertical oval, like a beast's His eyes tracked the Autumn Leaf Blade as it left a clear trace among the falling leaves.

Then, it also left a thin line of blood on Qing Huai's neck.
