Chapter 8, This Killer is a Bit Small (2)

The final move, "Shocking Sky Force," excels in striking from a distance, emphasizing the importance of launching an attack from above. The invisible force reverses direction and strikes upward with the speed of lightning. If Su Li were to seize the opportunity to target her energy center while simultaneously attacking her lower stance, Hua Yiwei would undoubtedly be unable to manage both. However, on the other hand, if Hua Yiwei were to take the initiative and deliver a decisive blow from a higher position, Su Li would either be dead or severely injured.

In an instant, a flash of brilliance appeared in Su Li's eyes, and another bold idea emerged in his mind

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianlan smiled, a glint of brilliance flashing in her eyes. At the same time, the girl in black swept her sleeve, and everyone felt a flash of white light before them. They then saw a sword radiating cold light already pressed against Xue Qianlan's throat

The girl in black felt somewhat awkward, but after a moment, she smiled and said: "Killing Detective, that name is quite amusing. After several days of tracking and investigation, you can barely be considered to have passed the preliminary test. If you wish to enter the gates of the Ancient Intent Pavilion, you still need to..."

Su Li was acutely aware that in the battle between the two, if he did not catch his opponent off guard, he would undoubtedly be defeated. Therefore, he had no choice but to take a gamble

The girl in black glanced at Su Li, accepted the sword, and smiled: "You are indeed an interesting person, facing death without the slightest fear. That said, with the intelligence network of the Ancient Intent Pavilion, finding the person you mentioned should not be difficult. As for what the Ancient Intent Pavilion wants you to do, it depends on their intentions, and I am merely responsible for bringing you into the Ancient Intent Pavilion"

So, beautiful sister, I wonder how you plan to test me tomorrow? If it's a physical examination..." Su Li's expression changed to a usual one, and he said with a mischievous grin.

It is rumored in the martial world that two years ago, the master of the side building of Gu Yi Tower, Ying Yu, single-handedly defeated Long Zhan Ye, the third master of the renowned organization Jiu Yuan Pavilion in the capital, using this footwork. This forced the second master and eight elders of Jiu Yuan Pavilion to join forces and employ the Jiu Yuan Formation, barely managing to repel Ying Yu. Although Hua Yi Wei can only create a shadow, the mere fact that she has learned this technique speaks volumes about her status within Gu Yi Tower

He paused for a moment and suddenly said coldly: "I fear it is merely to lower my guard, so that you can better test me."

Hua Yiwei saw Su Li fall to the ground and launched an attack, the moves were extraordinarily strange, and she suddenly became genuinely interested in the match. No longer underestimating her opponent, her movements became swift, with internal energy circulating beneath her feet, her figure surged towards Su Li like layers of ocean waves. At first glance, it appeared as though there was an additional shadow, and it was unclear how many times she had shifted her position.

Hua Yi was taken aback by Wei Wenyan's sudden action, as the edge of his hand was poised just an inch away from Su Li's face

Su Li smiled even more brightly, staring at her intently and saying: "Well said, well said. However, beautiful sister, having followed me for many days, you must have seen my appearance long ago. This morning, you called me an old immortal."

Su Li has indeed gained a lot from this battle, as many questions that were difficult to understand in daily life were answered through practical experience. Fortunately, Hua Yiwei, in her pursuit of a complete victory over Su Li, found herself consistently at a disadvantage under the overwhelming pressure of Su Li's nine attacks and one defense.

These sisters, one after the other, have come to launch a night raid on this young master. Su Li smiled and suddenly spoke seriously: "I wonder what the beautiful younger sister intends by sneaking into a good family's young man's bedroom at night?"

Su Li suddenly said: "In my hometown, there is a profession called a talent scout; it turns out you are a killer scout"

Is there any need to say more—death? The girl in black casually remarked, as if it were a perfectly normal matter. "Of course, this also includes you two," she said with a smile, glancing at Xue Qianlan and Xue Xiaoyou.

The girl in black smiled and said, "Recruitment is good, but you are still a long way from becoming an assassin."

Why is Gu Yi Lou not focusing on my abilities? Why go through so many unnecessary formalities? Wouldn't it be better to admit me directly, like a picture or a book? What if I end up being blinded by someone?

Hua Yiwei initially intended to exploit his opponent's lack of internal strength by attacking, but unexpectedly, Su Li targeted the Qihai acupoint, sealing off his own internal energy. If this turned into a mutual attack, it would undoubtedly result in both sides suffering injuries. Hua Yiwei, determined to achieve a complete victory over Su Li, had no choice but to withdraw his hand to block, inadvertently falling into a trap once again.

Xue Xiaoyou, her face pale, said: "Young master, be careful!"

"Why are you here?" This time, the voice was faint, yet it carried an undercurrent of chill.

"Testing?" The girl in black chuckled, "Think what you will, but you should know our purpose."

Su Li followed Hua Yiwei's gaze and saw that the stunning young woman from the morning was now dressed in a black fitted outfit. Her figure was graceful and curvaceous, and although her chest was bound by a belt, it still appeared magnificent, evoking endless imagination.

Little girl, you have only roamed the martial world for a few years, so naturally you do not know the consequences of provoking me, Granny Xue" Xue Qianlan said with a cold laugh, even responding with a question.

Su Lisi laughed heartily, his feet moving swiftly as his entire body collapsed like scattered sand, falling flat against the ground, sliding to within a foot of Hua Yiwei. Suddenly, pivoting on his left foot, he unleashed a continuous force, while his right foot swept out like thunder, and his hands executed the third form of the Thousand Gods—Zhenhe * Tu * Shukong energy

Is that so? Su Li carefully scrutinized her, his cold gaze seemingly piercing through her entire being. However, the girl maintained a faint smile on her face, hollow and frigid.

The girl in black, with a blank expression, coldly said: "Grandma Xue, you have traversed the martial world for decades, you should know the consequences of offending the Ancient Intent Pavilion"

The so-called Thousand Gods Three Styles refers to gambling skills, thus the entire skill lies in the hands. The myriad transformations are solely in the two hands, but what if the feet are added? Wouldn't the variations increase significantly?

Senior Sister... why are you here again?" Hua Yiwei maintained a calm expression, yet her palms were sweating. She finally managed to convey the response she had been taught by that person.

In the midst of the confrontation, Su Li shook his head and said, "Let's all back off. If we are to enter, then let us enter. It's just an Ancient Intent Pavilion, isn't it?" He thought to himself that even if his abilities were valued by the Ancient Intent Pavilion, they wouldn't just watch him die for no reason. He then asked, "But may I ask, beautiful sister, what does the Ancient Intent Pavilion want from someone as insignificant as me?"

The girl in black shot Su Li a glance, her expression changing as she laughed sweetly, "Regarding the matter of sneaking in at night, I hope you can forgive me. Moreover, esteemed Lord of Gambling, please refrain from calling me 'beautiful little sister' at every turn; I am of the same stature as you." Her demeanor was far from the earlier reproachful look she had directed at Hua Yiwei.

Hua Yiwei was extremely pleased, observing Su Li as he watched the grand scene of the Qi Dynasty, his eyes dazzled. Seizing a flaw, he unleashed a palm strike, akin to a rain of pear blossoms, aimed directly at Su Li's face

Xue Xiaoyou exclaimed, "Ah!" and hurriedly stood up, saying, "How can the young master become an assassin?" Xue Qianlan restrained Xiaoyou, signaling her to continue speaking.

Senior sister

Su Li interrupted, saying: "Hold on, you haven't mentioned what would happen if I do not wish to join the Gu Yi Building or if I fail the assessment?"

Wei, how did you come to be here

Xue Qianlan sighed deeply, thinking to herself that her foundation was indeed lacking too much. After contemplating this, she was just about to take action.

The girl in black was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, she coldly smiled and said: "Enough, little girl, we will settle this later; come to me first."

Xue Qianlan initially saw Su Li's strange and exquisite move and nodded in approval. However, when Hua Yiwei's technique was revealed, she couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment: "Could it be that the 'Great Unified Step' from the Ancient Intent Pavilion draws its essence from the 'Primordial Mysterious Realm', transforming the whole into unity, with phantoms appearing as one"

Hua Yiwei raised her head and saw a hint of coldness mixed with the smile of the young girl, causing her heart to shudder. She recalled what that person had said and, not daring to defy it, could only respond softly with "yes" before lowering her brows and standing behind her senior sister.

"Are you trying to recruit me to become an assassin?" Su Li said淡淡道, speaking without any reservations

Meanwhile, Xue Qianlan pressed the short dagger in her hand against the girl's heart
