Chapter 8: Madness

Pfft!

Two cold glints lit up; Bai Cangshu instantly let go and retreated continuously, pressing against the side of the cliff.

The woman's attack speed was extremely fast; in Bai Cangshu's eyes, they were like two vipers rearing their heads, the instantaneous speed of their strikes far exceeding his own.

This woman is strong.

The daggers in her hands kept stabbing into empty air, and venom was sprayed into the air; this made Qing She's heart sink slightly—this handsome man with a pair of peach-blossom eyes was no ordinary person.

But she did not give up, her feet sliding forward across the ground.

Although not fast, it was extremely steady, preventing her from slipping, and her center of gravity shifted with ease, allowing her attacks to continuously shroud every angle of Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu tried several times to attack the woman's lower body, but was forced back by her stabs each time.

This kind of extremely underhanded move in street fighting did not seem to have the same surprise effect when facing a truly ruthless killer like Qing She.

Bai Cangshu retreated continuously, his heart beating faster and faster; he was not the type to be tied up by nervousness.

On the contrary, the intense secretion of adrenaline made Bai Cangshu feel increasingly light.

He suddenly stopped his retreating figure, stepped onto the cliff wall on his left with one foot, and leaped directly behind Qing She.

This move was extremely bold; the mountain path here only had a cliff on one side, while the other side was nothing but mist and a precipice without even a guardrail.

The mountain path was less than a meter wide and somewhat slippery due to the rain and mist; the slightest carelessness would mean falling off the cliff and dying without a whole corpse.

Qing She had not expected Bai Cangshu to make such a bold move; she did not leap up to fight, as Qing She's movement technique was agile, and jumping up to fight was a major taboo for her.

Bai Cangshu leaped two or three meters, arriving behind Qing She, and a light flashed on his right hand as the silver-white revolver appeared.

Qing She suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart and turned around to see that Bai Cangshu had already raised the gun.

Bang! Qing She suddenly lowered her waist, and her entire body actually twisted on the ground like a nimble snake, her figure advancing a significant distance toward Bai Cangshu in a bizarre manner.

Bai Cangshu retreated under his feet and pulled the trigger in his hand again.

Bang! The gunshot rang out again, but Qing She was still clinging to the mountain path, twisting continuously, her movements impossible to predict, and 【Doom Knocking】 did not seem to trigger its special effect.

Qing She's speed was extremely fast; by the time Bai Cangshu fired the third shot, she had already reached Bai Cangshu's close proximity, a cruel expression on her face, her head swaying violently to dodge the shot while her right hand thrust straight at Bai Cangshu's face.

Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted; a fishy wind hit his face. As he tilted his head to dodge the stab, the pistol disappeared again, and he grabbed the woman's arms with both hands, suddenly leaping backward.

Ha! Exhaling to release his strength, Bai Cangshu pulled Qing She's center of gravity away in an instant, then used both hands to force a snap.

Crack, the sound of the joints popping was much smaller than expected.

Bai Cangshu sensed something was wrong and wanted to let go, but Qing She had already coiled around him.

This woman's physique was shockingly flexible; whether it was the hard snap Bai Cangshu had just pulled, or the way her legs were now wrapped around his lower body and her entire person had wound around his back, her movement technique had vaguely exceeded the scope of an ordinary person's capabilities.

"Kid, you've got some strength, struggle a bit more..."

The woman exhaled, a cruel smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

She was always dressed in a bewitching manner, but it was precisely when she was strangling these strong men that she felt the most pleasure.

Bai Cangshu grabbed Qing She's two arms with both hands to prevent those two daggers from stabbing into his body, but he was already completely entangled; the woman used her entire body to constrict Bai Cangshu's joints, and was now continuously using the strength of her body to pry Bai Cangshu's hands behind his back.

Creak~ The terrifying muscle struggle caused the joints to emit a sound of intense wear; Bai Cangshu could feel the muscles in his shoulders beginning to suffer the excruciating pain of tearing.

Once Bai Cangshu lost his strength, the daggers would instantly pierce into his neck.

The breath of the death snake was clearly audible, and the skin on Bai Cangshu's neck was bulging bit by bit.

Thump! Thump! The sound of a violent heartbeat rang out for no reason.

Qing She was startled, then leaned back with even more force.

"The heartbeat is so intense, are you... so afraid of death?"

She became increasingly excited, to the point where there was some dampness beneath her. Bai Cangshu felt his hands being bent backward bit by bit, and his neck seemed to be able to feel the cold dagger already.

His heart beat faster and faster, the sound growing louder and louder, until suddenly.

Thump! After his heart gave one heavy beat like a drum, Bai Cangshu's entire body jolted.

Creak~ The arm that Qing She had been prying backward bit by bit suddenly froze, and then began to be pulled back in the opposite direction with an unstoppable momentum.

Feeling the immense power coming from the arm, Qing She was shocked; in an instant, she released her legs that were wrapped around Bai Cangshu's lower body and stepped directly onto his back, using the strength of her entire body to pull.

This was already her full strength.

After a brief moment of stalemate.

"Ha."

A strange, light laugh rang out, followed by a surge of overwhelming power that erupted with a boom.

Qing She instantly lost her center of gravity, her entire body slamming head-on into Bai Cangshu's back; the massive force caused her nose to collapse in an instant, and the excruciating pain destroyed her nerves.

"Ah!"

She let out a miserable cry, but the next moment she felt the world spinning; amidst the rain and mist, she only felt that this man's body was terrifyingly hot, as if his whole body was radiating heat.

Boom! Qing She was grabbed by the arm and slammed violently into the ground; amidst the sound of her spine breaking, blood sprayed from her mouth and nose.

"Urgh, ah!"

The strength in her body vanished instantly, and the tightly gripped daggers fell to the ground.

In her blurred consciousness, she saw that man squat down, revealing strange eyes that were nothing but whites.

"Mon... ster..."

At this moment, Bai Cangshu's skin was flushed red, his muscles were slightly swollen, and his figure appeared a few sizes larger; he squatted down, looking at the woman who was breathing her last, the smile on his lips far more unrestrained than the expression the woman had just worn.

Bang! Bai Cangshu smashed Qing She's pretty face to pieces with a single punch, and then used punch after punch to completely cave in the other party's head.

【You have killed the killer · Qing She, obtained 200 Dimension Points】

Bang! Bang! Bai Cangshu tirelessly threw punch after punch, always feeling that this sensation was so wonderful.

He had seen many doctors; those doctors had arranged psychological counseling for him, and some had prescribed him psychiatric medications.

But in the end, Bai Cangshu was still Bai Cangshu.

He did not think he was a madman, only that he was an Outlier who was out of step with the times.

It was not that he was too crazy, but that the people around him were as docile as lambs.

Puchi—a sound like a watermelon shattering rang out, and red and white sprayed and scattered in an instant.

"Ugh!"

In the distance, the sound of vomiting arose, followed by the back of a chubby figure scrambling away from the mountain path.

Bai Cangshu paid no mind, simply rising to his feet and using the rain and mist to wash the filth from his hands.

Tang Baduan's face was deathly pale and his whole body was stiff; he did not even know how many times he had fallen, and he had not yet regained his senses even after returning to his inn at the foot of the mountain.

"Madman, that guy is truly a madman!"

Tang Baduan's hands trembled as he dialed Tao Baibai; at this moment, he just wanted to slap himself for saying a few days ago that this young man was suitable to be apprenticed under a true Martial Artist like Master Wutian.

A madman like this, apart from Tao Baibai, was likely someone no one else would take in.
