Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills
Chapter 74 - 74 74 A Grim Victory

74: Chapter 74: A Grim Victory 74: Chapter 74: A Grim Victory The “Wandering Around the World” move from the Quanzhen Sword play is a slanting strike, while in the Jade Maiden Swordplay, it’s a direct hack.

Despite the shared name, the two moves vary greatly in action.

One is a powerful attack from the Quanzhen Swordplay, the other is a dangerous move from the Jade Maiden Swordplay.

Under the state of “Twin Swords United”, their inner strength even resonates with each other, allowing all their attributes to exceed their normal levels.

Any one of these moves forces Yu Canghai, the masked leader of Qingcheng, to stay alert.

When the two combine their attacks, he can’t find a countermeasure and can only retreat quickly while guarding his whole body with his sword.

After one move, Ye Weiming took the opportunity to leap up, shouting the name of another move: “Moon Under the Blossoms!”

After speaking, his bamboo sword slashes obliquely downward from above, like a moon of ice spanning the sky and cool light filling the ground.

On the other hand, Little Bridge brandishes her longsword, which shakes as if it’s a blooming flower in the wind.

Although both of these moves are called “Moon Under the Blossoms”, in reality, one is under the moon, and the other is in front of the flowers.

Only when they cooperate with each other can they perfectly simulate the scenery of these four words.

Faced with the relentless pursuit of the pair, Yu Canghai only feels at a loss.

Particularly, the green moonlight simulated by Ye Weiming’s bamboo sword makes him feel extremely uneasy.

Even though he was clear that it was just a temporary measure, Yu Canghai was forced to brandish his sword upward and continue to retreat.

While this move managed to fend off Ye Weiming’s bamboo sword, he still couldn’t cover all his bases and was caught off guard to be stricken on the ribs by Little Bridge’s sword.

-1223!

This is the terrifying power of the combined attack of two swords, even an ordinary attack delivers a near-critical hit damage!

“Sip of Clarity!”

Of course, the real twin sword combination doesn’t require one to call out the name of every move, like Ye Weiming does.

Partners can naturally communicate with each other, without needing even a single glance.

But if Ye Weiming and Little Bridge, who have just met for less than a day, were to rely on this kind of understanding, only heaven knows what sort of comedic outcomes could arise.

It’s not that Ye Weiming wanted to do this, but he had no choice but to do so.

Losing his footing, Yu Canghai was hit by the “Sip of Clarity” technique.

His longsword was entangled by Little Bridge’s treasure sword, while his shoulder was stricken by Ye Weiming’s sword.

-1365!

Poisoned!

Although he was poisoned, Yu Canghai’s combat power remained extremely terrifying.

It seemed that he was not affected by the poison at all.

After blocking their sword, his body shivered violently and a -1121 red number floated up.

A jet of blood burst out from his wound.

He used his own strong inner strength to suppress the poison before forcing it out of his body!

Once a martial artist reaches a certain realm, poison is no longer a magic weapon for easy victory.

However, after this tussle, Yu Canghai finally realized a terrifying fact.

That is, with his strength, he can’t withstand the combined attack of their two swords!

As the leader of a faction, Yu Canghai is someone who knows when to let go.

Under the circumstances of known defeat, he immediately abandoned his original plan.

He stomped his feet hard, leaped into the air, and tried to use his advantage in Qinggong to make a quick escape.

However, at this stage in the fight, it’s not so easy for him to simply walk away!

Just as Yu Canghai leapt up and prepared to flee, Yomi had already rushed towards him again.

At this point, she had already put away her hand crossbow.

She stretched out both her hands, attempting to grab Yu Canghai’s ankles on either side.

This was not a martial arts move recognized by the system, but a capture technique she learned in the special forces before entering the game.

The moves are simple and straightforward, without any attribute bonuses.

But if she manages to get a hold of him, even Yu Canghai would need some time to break free.

Left with no choice, Yu Canghai had to change his stance and abruptly kicked out, aiming at Yomi’s chest.

Yomi crossed her arms over her chest and took the heavy blow.

“Bang!”

After one hit, Yomi was blasted away, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Her health dropped again to just above the safe line.

“Painting a Brow!”

At that moment, Ye Weiming and Xia Qiao launched their kill move once more, with Xia Qiao slashing diagonally and directly striking Yu Canghai’s recently kicked-out right leg, achieving the effect of hamstring severance.

However, Ye Weiming’s sword, which was initially meant to be thrust into the enemy’s chest, stabbed Yu Canghai straight into a fatal spot between his legs due to his opponent’s mid-air leap, leading to a horrific scream.

-1253!

Tendon Severance!

-2641!

Poisoned!

This Yu Canghai, who’d tried everything to acquire the Lin family’s ancestral “Devil-Repelling Swordsmanship,” ended up being critically hit by Ye Weiming at the last juncture.

Could this be a case of divine justice in action?

With Yu Canghai’s legs injured, the outcome of the battle became clear.

Yet Ye Weiming continued to command the battle rigorously, affording Yu Canghai no opportunities.

“Crosswind Drizzle!”

“Evening Cloud Willow Smoke!”

“Peach Blossom Rapids!”

…

Under the gradually synchronized Twin Swords, Yu Canghai’s health plummeted fast.

His impressive 25,000 hit point health pool dwindled to around 3000 points in under three minutes.

Seeing that a final push could finish off this level 40 Boss, anticipation surged through even Ye Weiming.

However, at death’s door, Yu Canghai abruptly spun around, allowing Ye Weiming’s longsword to pierce through to the vital point in his back, at the same time launching himself forward to crash through the wall of a nearby residential yard.

By the time Ye Weiming and Xia Qiao caught up, they found no trace of Yu Canghai.

Using the passive skill Autopsy, Ye Weiming followed the traces left by Yu Canghai to the street on the other side of the courtyard before completely losing track.

At that moment, the rest of the God Catcher Squadron arrived, with Feiyu stating in conclusion, “Yu Canghai is badly wounded and couldn’t have gotten far.

Plus, his injuries aren’t something that can be easily healed.

He’s probably hiding somewhere nearby.

Let’s split up and search.

It would be such a waste if he escaped after all the effort we put into almost defeating the Boss.”

Given that Captain San Yue was now dead, Ye Weiming automatically became the new captain, changing the distribution method within the group from the original captain’s distribution to a contribution-based system.

Upon hearing Feiyu’s certain words, Ye Weiming curiously asked, “Are you sure he can’t quickly restore his health after disengaging from combat?”

Feiyu did not respond but shared a screenshot in the team chat.

Yu Canghai is gravely injured and can’t recover on his own for a short time (58 minutes 12 seconds).

With his current injury status, he definitely couldn’t have gone far.

Seemingly in a hurry, Feiyu’s screenshot was not fully captured.

However, combining it with his previous words, it was not hard to guess that this must have been a system prompt brought to him by the God Catcher Squadron’s “earth” skill.

(Last week and the week before, Dragon God and Zi Ye were on the same recommendation list as me.

Although the two of them outshined me, I was still a little proud, for I have battled with these heavyweight figures before, and not just from hundreds of miles away.

However, when the recommendations changed this week, I found that Dragon God and Zi Ye had moved up to San Jiang, leaving me alone and helpless…

Truth be told, I was happy for the two of them being able to make it to San Jiang so quickly.

But thinking of myself, I couldn’t help feeling a bit desolate…

Perhaps at times like this, some recommendation votes or collections could provide some warmth to my fragile heart…

I’ve said so much.

As mature readers with robust health, happy lives, radiant and handsome as you are, you should know what to do.
