Chapter 444: So What?

Zhou Shu Yu never thought that Sima You Yue would have a whip that was almost as great as hers. She tried to move, but realised that her whip had been completely encased by Sima You Yue’s whip. And so the two were held at a standstill like this.

“I never imagined that someone as young as you would be stronger than I thought.” Zhou Shu Yu said. “But we won’t know how skilled you are exactly at yielding a whip!”

With that, she exerted some strength and her whip started to move once again, splitting away from Sima You Yue’s whip. She then cracked her whip again, and the whip seemed to come alive, charging towards Sima You Yue once again.

Sima You Yue had to admit that Zhou Shu Yu was indeed very skillful with her whip. It seemed as though she was using a sort of technique that will allow the opponent to be unable to hide from the whip, which made it even more threatening. However, her own whip was not far behind. Although she had never formally trained her use of the whip, she had an edge for the fact that Ling Long was an antique divine artifact and had spirit energy. She could stretch and extend at will, bringing a large advantage. With Ling Long, her spirit energy changed, and Sima You Yue ducked from Zhou Shu Yu’s vicious attacks, causing her to be unable to unleash her final attacks, and the whole fight became chaotic.

“Ah!!” Zhou Shu Yu got struck by a whip, and it tore a hole in her dress, while also slicing her flesh, drawing blood. If it was an normal whip, there was no way that such a thing could have happened to her.

SNAP– With another lash, Zhou Shu Yi’s clothing got ripped open so badly that almost her entire back was exposed.

“How could this be?” Zhou Shu Yu had been attacked twice, causing great shock to her. Her skills at the whip was the greatest amongst all that she had encountered. How was she unable to attack the other party, and even get hit by her opponent? She saw that Sima You Yue’s whip was just lashing about randomly, and there was no technique for her to observe. But that whip was extremely tricky to be able to avoid her own whip and get close enough to attack her.

“Do you know where your brother is right now?” Sima You Yue suddenly asked.

The moment she heard this question, Zhou Shu Yu’s heart froze. In the past few days, she had been looking for her brother to discuss a matter, yet she had perpetually been unable to contact him. Even when she had sent servants to look for him, their efforts were always to no avail.

“You know about by brother?”

“Of course I do.” Sima You Yue smiled evilly. “Because your brother had spent his last days with me.”

Zhou Shu Yu was utterly shocked. She struck Sima You Yue aside with her whip, screaming, “What have you done to my brother?!”

“I’ve killed him.” Sima You Yue spat out those words nonchalantly, as if this was completely normal to her.

“You’ve killed my brother?” Zhou Shu Yu lost her mind. “I had wanted to keep you to by my plaything, but you’ve killed my brother! Now I will have your life!” With that, she brandished her whip again, and was even faster than she was previously. The whip carried more spirit energy, and was even more dangerous that it had been. Sima You Yue retaliated by lashing Ling Long out at a higher speed as well, so fast that even the people watching from the side were at a blur as to what they were really doing.

With a few rounds, Zhou Shu Yu and Sima You Yue’s feet both landed on the ground.

“Ugh..” Zhou Shu Yu spat out fresh blood and collapsed on the ground, releasing more breath than she was able to take in.

Sima You Yue walked over to her side and said, “I don’t care how much trouble you have caused other people, but you should not have come to touch us.” With that, she took out a flame and burnt Zhou Shu Yu into ashes.

“He’s killed Hall Leader Zhou?!”

“He… Is he not afraid of revenge from the Heavenly Tiger Hall?”

“He’s so young, yet he’s so powerful!”

“His followers are rather mighty too! I bet the Heavenly Tiger Hall never saw it coming!”

“Who is he? He’s definitely rather young, yet he is that good at fighting!”

“I am rather curious about what is going to happen to them after this. The Heavenly Tiger Hall will definitely not just let this matter rest.”

“That’s right, I wonder if they are really powerful enough to deal with this, or if they are just fearless.”

“I think they should be rather powerful.”

“But do you think they could be more powerful than the Heavenly Tiger Hall?”

The innkeeper saw the crowds of people and overheard their discussions. His eyes turning, he leaned over and whispered, “Hey hey, would you like to take a bet? I’ll be the guarantor. We can bet on the final outcome of this group. If they are killed by the Heavenly Tiger Hall, it’s a tenfold win. If they end up fine, then it’s a fifty-fold win. If they destroy the Heavenly Tiger Hall, then it’ll be a hundred-fold win. How about it? Does anyone want to bet?”

“Are you for real?”

“Of course I am!” The innkeeper cackled. “When I return, I will set up a booth for the bets, if you would like to do so, you can come and participate!”

“Heh heh, there hasn’t been this much excitement in the Great City for the longest time.”

“This is a bet without any risk, so let’s go place our bets after this, anyway it’s a sure win!”

“Let’s go too!”

While they were discussing the idea of betting on the outcome, Sima You Yue’s team had taken down the entire troupe from the Heavenly Tiger Hall. Even while seeing the bunch of bodies on the floor, they were not moved, because if they were weak at all, they would have been the ones lying dead on the ground instead! Sima You Yue saw that the townspeople were eagerly placing their bets, and broke into a smile. Everything had broken out in his premises, yet he was not afraid of being dragged into the mess, and is even taking bets on this issue?

“I say, innkeeper, If you’re going to be taking bets on our lives, shouldn’t we get a margin of the money?”

The innkeeper looked at Sima You Yue and smiled, saying, “Well, if you you emerge alive, then it’s only right that I give you some of it.”

Sima You Yue said nothing in reply, but waited for Sima You Le and the rest to deal with the corpses before they returned to the inn.

“Is he going back just like that?” The crowd was shocked to see him simply return to the inn. He was that unbothered by the entire matter?

Now it wasn’t anything to worry about, but when the Heavenly Tiger Hall takes its revenge, perhaps then he would start to be afraid.

Only the innkeeper was smiling as they watched Sima You Yue walk away. Seeing his servants staring blankly, he smacked them on the head and said, “Why are you still standing here? Go and set up the booth for the bets now!”

“Oh, oh, right. We’re going! Why did you have to hit us?” The servant grumbled as he returned to the inn. He took out a board and wrote down the rates of the gamble and placed it somewhere on the table, therefore creating the gambling spot.

The news of a few individuals killing off the Leader of the Heavenly Tiger Hall spread quickly throughout the Great City. At first, most of the people thought that it was a joke and did not take it seriously. However, as the news spread further and further, and the information about the bets had emerged, people started to believe what they had heard, and rushed down to bet as well.

CRASH– In the Heavenly Tiger Hall meeting room, the middle-aged man at the Head Seat slammed his fists angrily on the table as he glared at those who brought the news to him, saying, “Is what you said true?”

“Vice Hall Head, it is definitely true. Vice Hall Leader Zhou has been killed by those people. And there’s also news that they have killed Hall Leader Zhou as well.”

“What did you say?!”
