Chapter Seventeen: Beyond the Sky Lies Another Sky

  "Soft Wrap" clings tightly to the wrist, almost becoming a part of the arm. It's been a long time since it last sucked blood, who knows who will be its first victim!

  Shen Qingyang drifted through the night, hiding in the darkness of a small alley. No one noticed him, and no one knew he was the chef from "Yishui Zhai". Even people who had seen him at the restaurant that afternoon wouldn't recognize him now, as he had completely changed his appearance. The two jowls on his face had vanished into thin air! This was a kind of disguise technique that could change a person's facial features without relying on makeup.

  Banger's information is very important: "Old Master" has already prepared something for him, but he doesn't know what it is. Even Shen Qingyang still doesn't know who this "Old Master" is until now!

  "Who cares who it is? I'll see him sooner or later!" Walking in the darkness, Shen Qingyang opened up all his senses and spiritual awareness, and any unusual movements within a hundred meters could be heard, providing him with ample time to prepare for battle. So he was able to discover the enemy at the first moment and kill him!

  The mercenary's blood isn't cold, it's his heart that is! He has killed countless people and doesn't care about adding a few more lost souls. Since the Mediterranean fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs want to challenge his patience, let them taste the flavor of "Blood Shadow".

  The small streets are almost deserted now, and the slums on both sides of the street seem to have quieted down instantly. This is the urban-rural fringe area of Zhonghai City, where people who are restless or returning home to rest, or those who are having a good time, make the main streets appear somewhat desolate and bleak.

  The familiar surroundings came into view, Shen Qingyang scanned the area with a cold gaze, his super strong memory telling him that this place was just one step away from where he had been drinking last night! Across half a street's distance, a two-minute walk, yet there was no sign of Dumbel.

  "Old guy!" Shen Qingyang swallowed his saliva, thinking about how to deal with this old rascal who had been playing tricks on him all day. He didn't want to kill Dumbel, as there was still a lot of information that hadn't fallen into place, especially regarding the "Tian Xie Alliance", this mysterious organization that had captured Shen Qingyang's curiosity like a ghostly shadow, not just because they had stolen his treasured item, but for deeper reasons, related to the ultimate goal of this trip!

  Suddenly, a breaking wind sound was transmitted into his ears, and his back immediately felt a chill! The feeling of a cold-blooded mercenary is the most acute, and even the subtle flow of air will be perceived. This sound is by no means formed by natural forces.

  Shen Qingyang didn't turn back, nor did he dodge! The excitement in his heart surged up instantly: Hehe! The opponent finally made the first move! The explosive force stored in his body was suddenly triggered, and his left foot slid sideways towards the center of the street. His body took on an "S" shape as it floated off the ground. Before he could even steady himself, two metallic clashing sounds exploded in the quiet alleyway!

  Dozens of sparks appeared in his eyes, and disappeared instantly. Shen Qingyang turned back coldly, but his body suddenly jumped forward, he had already locked onto his opponent - a person wearing black tight-fitting clothes!

  Chasing someone on the stone street was too easy for Shen Qingyang, although the dark buildings on both sides of the street were not a small obstacle, but compared to the geographical environment of the African jungle, everything here was simply flat!

  Shen Qingyang wasn't running, but flying, with an astonishing speed. Two leaps and he had already covered over twenty meters. The person in front was clearly much slower, and Shen caught up to his opponent at the corner of a small alley, launching a lightning-fast attack.

  He didn't use the "Blood Shadow" technique, but instead wanted to see what kind of person this reckless guy was! Shen Qingyang's foot exerted force, and his abundant internal energy burst out in an instant, without making a single sound. His body was like a cannonball, soaring into the air, with both legs kicking forward and both arms spread wide, locking onto its prey like a hawk!

  Before the opponent could react, his back was kicked and his entire body flew towards the stone wall on the right side of the alley like a broken kite. From any angle, once he hit the stone, he would either break his bones or lose his life!

  The opponent was apparently not as stupid as imagined, and although his body flew out, it "flew" very coordinately. Just when he was about to hit the stone wall, his body suddenly changed direction and clung to the stone wall, rising up into the air.

  Haha! The Wall-Crawling Skill isn't played like this! Shen Qingyang smelled the faint scent of blood in the air, his opponent had clearly lost seven or eight tenths of their strength, but was obviously heavily injured. As soon as Shen Qingyang's feet touched the ground, his body leaned towards the stone wall, a few meters away instantly, his hands clasped onto the stone, debris flying everywhere, his body almost stuck to the wall as he chased after his target!

  A shocking scene! If someone witnessed all this, they would certainly think that two superpowered guys were playing a game of racing, but this deadly game is not something that anyone can play!

  Shen Qingyang's attack was fierce and his opponent dodged cleverly, even the low-level move "Climbing Walls" was played with astonishing skill!

  He had already escaped tens of meters away, and it seemed that his kung fu was quite good. This was the strongest opponent Shen Qingyang had seen in years, although he was injured, his speed did not slow down at all, and there was no sign of slowing down!

  Shen Qingyang let out a long whistle that pierced through the night sky——Aoooouuuu——like a wolf's howl, but those who knew about the battle in this place understood that this whistle was even more deadly than a wolf's, because Shen Qingyang's speed became even more astonishing within the whistle, almost as if he was flying through the air!

  In the Bambusa forest, he could climb to a height of over 20 meters on a giant tree in ten seconds, and also fly back to the ground in five seconds without any damage, unfortunately, those who saw that scene had already died!

  They flipped over the stone wall, one in front of the other, flying up and down on the wall, as if everything around them didn't pose any obstacles. The distance was constantly being shortened, chasing out for more than 300 meters, ahead was Dong Xi Street, where the crowd grew thicker, Shen Qingyang furrowed his brow, staring intently at his opponent who was just inches away.

  It's a principle not to pursue an enemy too closely. The opponent seems to be familiar with the environment here, at least more than himself, and Shen Qingyang is slightly inferior. Although his feet are still moving at the same speed, his will has wavered for a moment, just once, and the opponent has merged into the crowd!

  Shen Qingyang stood on the high wall, and almost no one on the street noticed him until he fell from the sky, causing people to scream and scatter in all directions, thinking that another fight had broken out. No one stayed to watch the commotion, because life only happens once!

  The street was very familiar. Shen Qingyang turned his head to look at the street, where people were whispering to each other, old high-rise buildings were sprawling there, dark and devoid of any vitality. However, on the opposite side, it was bustling with high-rise buildings standing tall, a big street separating two worlds!

  Across the street is a modern city, and here is a deserted alley. A hundred meters away, the resplendent sign of "Tianze Garden" dances alone in the wind, with several high-end cars parked in front of the hotel, no different from daytime.

  Shen Qingyang exhaled a mouthful of turbid air: This is the street in front of "Yi Shui Zhai", it's just separated by two small alleys. Shen Qingyang patted his clothes, pinched his "Chinese collar" and disappeared into the crowd.

  "The opponent's skills are excellent, and they're evenly matched with me!" Shen Qingyang felt a slight sense of loss. This was his first time engaging in a fierce battle with an opponent in the Central Sea, although it was just a covert struggle. The opponent's strength had already made everything clear: the enemy's power was extremely strong!

  Who cares about themselves like this? Is it the Tianmeng thief alliance? Shen Qingyang doesn't know. There are still five minutes until the appointment with Dumbel, and as soon as he thinks of that old man, Shen Qingyang gets angry: Everything started because of him!

  Now Hubert has become the prime suspect for stealing things from him last night, all signs indicate that the old guy not only knows the underground room of the Mediterranean very well, but also knows his own weaknesses. So he can successfully tease me!

  Is he a member of the "Thieves' Alliance"? Or is he that cripple? If so, why does he dare to appear in front of me again? If not, then why did he ask me to go to that place? What does he want to do?

  There is one kind of person in this world who is not easy to mess with: a superior being!

  Everything that Dumb shows is consistent with the characteristics of a "high man": hiding in the city, mixing in the rivers and lakes, deeply hidden and not exposed, with many tricks and some skills! Although Shen Qingyang had never confronted Dumb directly, but from the fact that he escaped from under his own eyelids in "Yishui Studio", it is enough to explain the problem!

  Shen Qingyang sneered: "This is really strange!"

  He was convinced that what Banji said was true, Banji encountered a strong enemy and was almost crippled. Was the killer called "Tú" who just ambushed me? Or is it simply an old trap set by the old man? He was convinced that Ou Bo didn't have such skills, although he could slip away under his own eyelids, just lucky!

  "Damn it! Missed again!" Shen Qingyang cursed, quickening his pace, causing the people passing by to scurry away in fright. He didn't have time to care about that now, with the cover of night, no one could recognize his true face.

  Two minutes later, they arrived at the place where they were ambushed earlier. The stone wall was still there, and Shen Qingyang took a glance at the blood splattered on the wall, feeling a little bit of satisfaction in his heart: That kick "Flowing Star Chasing the Moon" just now wasn't bad, if it were those old guys, they would have seen King Yan's ghost already!
