Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Bang!

With a loud bang, the two men each took three steps back.

Lin Xuan's feet left deep footprints, stirring up the soil.

He steadied himself, his chest rising and falling slightly, his gaze fixed on Xia Yu opposite him.

His right arm was slightly numb. He had used almost all his strength in that punch, while his opponent clearly still had energy left.

Xia Yu smiled again, a smile tinged with appreciation.

He shook his hands and moved his wrists, his knuckles making a soft cracking sound.

"Not bad, you've actually learned a bit of Wang Dali's style. Although it's still far from perfect, it's quite interesting."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xuan from shoulders to waist and legs, a smirk playing on his lips.

"It's a pity you're injured, otherwise we could have played a little longer today."

Lin Xuan remained silent.

His mind went blank for a moment, and he sensed something.

The mark of the Soul-Chasing Technique has already been planted.

During those few exchanges, he subtly injected a wisp of true energy into Xia Yu's body.

Very faint.

He was also somewhat worried about being discovered.

After all, previous successful examples were either An Lan or the two puppet slaves.

One ordinary person, two... who are not human.

He didn't know if he would be discovered when facing a successor of ancient martial arts.

But now, it seems he hasn't discovered it.

He gained a deeper understanding of this little skill.

Xia Yu suddenly turned his head and glanced into the distance.

His ears twitched, as if he had heard something.

Then he shook his hand and said with a bored expression:

"I'm not fighting anymore, that woman is coming. If she catches me, it'll be a whole lot of trouble, so annoying. Last time she caught me doing something wrong, and my family nagged me for half an hour. I'm sick of hearing it."

He looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"By the way, I'll come find you again once you've recovered from your injuries. We'll have a good fight then, and we won't stop until one of us is defeated."

Lin Xuan's face remained expressionless as he calmly said, "Don't worry, I'll find you first."

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, great! I like this personality! It's got a temper!"

He turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at Lin Xuan.

"Oh, by the way, as a reward for you, I have some news for you."

He had his hands in his pockets, looking completely casual.

"The Ancient Martial Arts Alliance should be trying to recruit you soon; they're very interested in a wild kid like you."

"However, I hope you can pass the test. Be prepared, so you won't be caught off guard."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the dense forest in a few bounds.

The leaves rustled, then quickly fell silent, as if he had never been there.

They're leaving already?

Lin Xuan was a little confused. Why did this guy go to so much trouble to play some kind of bullshit game with him?

It only lasted a few minutes before it was over?

What brain circuit?

He waited a while, and only after confirming that Xia Yu had left did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

I almost lost my balance when I breathed a sigh of relief.

My whole body started to burn.

Shoulders, arms, chest—all covered in hidden injuries from the fight.

The pain was so deep it went to the bone marrow; every breath aggravated the injury.

This kid is really something, no wonder he was able to defeat Wang Dali!

Those few moves just now, each one was imbued with hidden force. If I hadn't unexpectedly recovered a trace of my true energy last night, I probably would have been lying down already.

He leaned against a tree trunk, panting heavily.

Meanwhile, Su Yurou slowly recovered.

She stood up, leaning against the tree trunk, and moved forward.

My legs were still weak, and I swayed three times with every step, like a child who had just learned to walk.

She glanced cautiously in the direction Xia Yu had disappeared, making sure the red-haired man was really gone, before turning to Lin Xuan and asking in a low voice:

"Are you... alright?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "It's nothing."

Su Yurou breathed a sigh of relief, then a barrage of questions came flying at her like a machine gun:

"Who exactly are they?!"

"Why is Tian Youcai in such a state? Blood is flowing from all seven orifices, it scared me to death!"

"And that redhead, why did he fight you? Do you two know each other?"

"And another thing, how did you find me? This place is so remote, how did you know I was here?"

......

Lin Xuan was at his wit's end by her question, and waved his hand dismissively:

"I'll explain the details to you later. But..."

He paused, his tone becoming serious, tinged with guilt:

"I'm sorry, this time I made you suffer for nothing!"

Su Yurou was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Lin Xuan, and seeing the apology and self-blame in his eyes, her doubts deepened.

What do you mean by "because of her"?

But seeing Lin Xuan's serious expression, she nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure burst out of the woods!

It moved extremely fast, creating a gust of wind that swept up fallen leaves before they fell again.

Ye Jin!

Her police uniform was covered in leaves and dirt, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her cheeks were slightly flushed from the strenuous exercise.

Upon arrival, she quickly scanned the room, her gaze lingering on each person for less than a second, revealing her professional alertness.

When she saw Tian Youcai lying on the ground, she frowned and quickly walked over to take a look.

"It really was that madman!"

She reached out to check Tian Youcai's breath, then flipped his eyelids to check his pupil response.

With all their potential tapped, while their lives aren't in danger, the rest of their lives won't be easy.

She stood up, patted the dirt off her hands, and turned to look at Lin Xuan.

Are you alright?

Lin Xuan shook his head: "It's alright, he wasn't serious, he was just playing around. If it really came to blows, I wouldn't be able to hold out for long in my current condition."

Ye Jin nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Su Yurou, sized her up, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on the scrapes and bruises on her body, and then at the mud and scratches on her clothes.

"This must be Ms. Su. Are you alright? Do you need an ambulance?"

Su Yurou shook her head: "No, it's nothing... I was just a little dizzy, but I'm much better now."

Her gaze also swept over Ye Jin.

Ok?

Another one?

Lin Xuan, you're really amazing!

They are beauties with different styles.

He was capable and dashing, tall and with delicate features. He wore his police uniform crisply, exuding a cool and handsome aura.

Especially his clear and sharp eyes, which clearly showed he was a trained fighter.

She glanced at Lin Xuan subconsciously, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Lin Xuan noticed her gaze, coughed lightly, and pretended not to see it.

Ye Jin didn't notice their subtle movements. She gestured for Lin Xuan to come with her.

Lin Xuan understood and told Su Yurou to wait where she was, then followed Ye Jin to the side.

The two stood behind a large tree, about ten meters away from Su Yurou.

Ye Jin spoke in a low voice, making sure only the two of them could hear: "There's something I need to tell you."
