Chapter 44: Strike when necessary

  Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying, both of them displayed their lightness skill by flying over the eaves and walking on the walls, advancing quickly on the narrow mountain path.

  On a steep slope with lush grass and trees, Qiu Yu Ying saw Xin Yuan below her. She intentionally made a fake move as if she was going to fall, her whole body leaning forward down the mountain, and shouted at Xin Yuan: "Xin Gege, quickly save me, I'm going to fall into the ditch!"

  Xin Yuan walked down the mountain slope, intentionally protecting Qiu Yu Ying, fearing that if something unexpected happened to her, he could lend a helping hand. Sure enough, Qiu Yu Ying's foot slipped and Xin Yuan caught it, Qiu Yu Ying's body leaned towards Xin Yuan who was below, Xin Yuan quickly used his "Golden Embrace" move to wrap his arms around the falling Qiu Yu Ying. Qiu Yu Ying achieved her goal and burst out laughing "heh heh heh" in Xin Yuan's arms.

  "Brother Xin, if you hold me like this for the rest of your life, how great would that be!" Qiu Yu Ying said in Xin Yuan's arms, making a silly face at him while her arm tightly wrapped around his neck.

  "Oh, I see! So you're doing it on purpose, huh? Hmph! Are you being naughty or what? Believe me, I'll throw you into the ditch at the foot of the mountain!" Xin Yuan also pretended to scold her, then spoke in a negotiating tone, "Yu Ying, sister, let's take a break and walk properly. This slope is so steep, do you want to exhaust me?" Indeed, on such a steep slope, carrying someone while walking, even with high agility, was not an easy task.

  "No, Brother Xin, I can only come down and walk myself if you agree to one thing." Qiu Yu Ying wanted to take the opportunity of being with Xin Yuan to make her thoughts clear to him.

  Xin Yuan is so clever, he has long seen through Qiu Yu Ying's various expressions and knows what she wants to say. But at this moment, a person's voice and smile suddenly appeared in Xin Yuan's mind, making his whole body think of that person, who was none other than his childhood friend and junior fellow disciple Yao Feng Lan.

  Xin Yuan was always thinking of Yao Fenglan, and when he held Qiu Yu'ying in his arms, he didn't have any feelings for her. Because Xin Yuan's heart was filled with Yao Fenglan, there was no room for a second person anymore.

  Xin Yuan didn't want Qiu Yu Ying to say it, afraid of making things awkward for both of them, so he came up with a plan and suddenly shouted at Qiu Yu Ying: "Don't talk, there are devils!" Then he quickly put Qiu Yu Ying on the grass slope and jumped forward, running towards the front.

  "Where is the devil?" Qiu Yu Ying rolled over and hid behind a clump of grass, cautiously looking around in all directions. Qiu Yu Ying had excellent eyesight, but after searching for half a day, she didn't see even a shadow of a devil. She looked towards the direction where Xin Yuan ran off to, and saw that he was already far ahead of her. Qiu Yu Ying immediately understood that Xin Yuan was deceiving her, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising up, making her pretty face even redder.

  "Scoundrel, you deceived me! Wait for me!" Qiu Yu Ying hastily employed her lightness skill and urgently chased after him.

  Xin Yuan deliberately made trouble in front. Qiu Yu Ying was fast, he was also fast, Qiu Yu Ying was slow, and he was also slow. Xin Yuan's lightness kung fu was better than Qiu Yu Ying's, always keeping a certain distance from Qiu Yu Ying. Qiu Yu Ying got angry and simply sat down on a large bluestone by the side of a small road, refusing to move.

  Qiu Yu-ying was sitting on a large bluestone by the roadside, looking angry. From the other side of the small road, four Japanese soldiers walked over. These four Japanese soldiers seemed to have just finished their mission and were hurrying towards the direction of Cangmen City. Suddenly, they saw in front of them, by the side of the small road, a young and beautiful girl sitting on a rock, lost in thought.

  Four Japanese soldiers had not touched a woman for a long time, and when they saw such a beautiful girl, how could they hold back. They shouted "Wah wah wah" loudly: "Hua Niang! Hua Niang!" The four devils threw down the military bags on their backs and rushed towards Qiu Yu'ying together.

  Qiu Yu-ying was furious, but she played along with Xin Yuan's flirtation, her entire nervous system on high alert.

  As soon as the four devils appeared, Qiu Yu Ying discovered them. Qiu Yu Ying knew that she couldn't run away, because if she did, the Japanese devils would definitely open fire. Therefore, Qiu Yu Ying remained calm and continued to sit steadily on the large bluestone. After the four devils walked behind her and threw down their things, Qiu Yu Ying thought: Now it's easy to deal with them.

  The first devil pounced, Qiu Yu Ying lightly dodged, and the devil pounced into thin air, ending up with a mouthful of dirt. The second devil arrived, and Qiu Yu Ying used his momentum to kick him in the stomach, sending the little devil flying high into the air, hitting his head on a rock by the side of the road, letting out a blood-curdling scream before his soul returned to Japan. The other two Japanese devils, who were about to pounce, saw that this beauty was so agile and quick-witted, she must not be just an ornament for their amusement, but rather a member of the guerrilla or the Eighth Route Army. The two devils hastily retreated to fetch their guns.

  At that moment, Qiu Yu'ying shouted: "Where are you going!" With a swift movement, she had already rushed to the back of the two Japanese devils. With one arm exerting great force, Qiu Yu'ying grasped each of them with one hand and lifted them up. She let out a loud cry and threw the two devils into the deep ditch by the side of the road. Accompanied by their mournful cries, the two devils went to meet King Yan.

  At this time, the Japanese devil who pounced on him pulled out his war sword and slashed at Qiu Yu'ying. Qiu Yu'ying made a 360-degree turn, kicked up a stone by the side of the road with her flying foot, and the stone wrapped in hatred hit the hand of the Japanese devil holding the knife. The Japanese devil let out a loud cry of "Ah!" and the dagger in his hand was knocked to the ground. Qiu Yu'ying made a beautiful fish jump, kicked up one foot, and just kicked the devil's waist, the devil was kicked into the air, and fell into the deep ditch by the side of the road, chasing after his two companions.

  "Good! Well done! You're indeed a heroine of the girls' school! I admire you! I admire you!" Xinyuan had already stood behind Qiu Yu Ying.

  "This damned ghost, I'll take care of it." Xinyuan moved his body towards the ghost's corpse and used the "Mountain-Sea Reversal" move from the "Floating Extreme Fist", pushing out with both palms. The ghost's corpse floated up, and with a bit of effort from Xinyuan, it flew into the deep ditch by the side of the road.

  At this time, another group of devils came from the small road.

  "Yu Ying, little sister, we're moving the devils' backpacks and guns into the woods."

  "Good!" Qiu Yu-ying had killed four devils, and was excited.

  Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying moved those four devils' marching bags and guns together to the woods to hide.

  The group of devils on the small road was getting closer and closer. When this group of devils passed by the big green stone beside the road, they found bloodstains next to the big green stone and a Japanese military sword in the grass. The Japanese devils suddenly became alert.

  The little team of devils "yelled" loudly, holding their guns and searching in the grass and by the side of the path. Xin Yuan and Qiu Yu Ying held their breath, squatting behind a clump of trees, closely watching the devils' every move.

  Suddenly, a devil on the edge of the ditch discovered something and shouted "yi li wa la" all at once. He saw four dead bodies in the ditch.

  The little devil drew his sword and shouted, eight or nine devils went down to the bottom of the ditch and carried up four dead bodies.

  The little devil's leader was furious, drew his saber and pointed it in all directions. The devils fired randomly at the hillside, ditches, and bushes, then carried four corpses away towards the direction of Changmen City.
