Chapter 422
"Go, go, go, go!" The extras and crew members scrambled away quickly.
However, some of them, after running a distance away, picked up their phones to call the police.
Feng Feng Yuxiu ignored them and instead looked at Hong Ye, holding his long blade as he said:
"The martial arts masters I know, once their cultivation reaches a high level, they always keep their skills hidden!"
"You, a generation's King of Weapons, wish to disguise yourself as a stuntman. Who would have thought that an actor's martial arts were not just for show? Feng Feng Yuxiu is here to learn." Feng Feng Yuxiu held his blade and cupped his fists.
Hong Ye's expression turned solemn.
He took a precious sword from a nearby motorcycle. Knowing this person came with ill intent, he returned the salute to Feng Feng Yuxiu before drawing his sword to engage him in battle.
Clang! Clang!
Blade and sword clashed, the crisp and rapid sound of metal striking metal ringing out incessantly.
Hong Ye slashed with his sword, Feng Feng Yuxiu raised his blade to block; Hong Ye retracted his strike and thrust forward, Feng Feng Yuxiu retreated rapidly...
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a dozen moves.
Hong Ye held a slight advantage, the tip of his sword wounding Feng Feng Yuxiu, but because he did not want to kill, he held back. Feng Feng Yuxiu found an opening and launched a fierce counterattack.
"Clang!"
Feng Feng Yuxiu stomped down, snapping the sword in Hong Ye's hand, and at the same time, the blade in his own hand thrust downward, piercing into Hong Ye's back.
In the critical moment, Hong Ye rolled backward to escape.
The sword in his hand was broken. Without hesitation, Hong Ye threw the broken blade aside, picked up a three-meter-long steel pipe as thick as a bamboo pole, and used a ferocious staff technique to knock the precious blade from Feng Feng Yuxiu's hand.
So it is said: one inch longer, one inch stronger.
Feng Feng Yuxiu was forced to retreat rapidly by the shadows of Hong Ye's staff, then seized the opportunity to pick up a utility knife from the ground.
The audience was instantly filled with question marks.
Hong Ye was using a three-meter steel staff, while Feng Feng Yuxiu was using a utility knife shorter and thinner than a dagger—how could he fight with that?
"Holy crap!"
"Awesome!"
"Damn!"
"..."
The next second, in the cinema, the audience let out gasps of shock.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
They saw Feng Feng Yuxiu not retreating but attacking, waving the utility knife and using his clothes to press against the long staff as he charged at Hong Ye.
Once close to Hong Ye, he unleashed a flurry of wild slashes with the utility knife.
Hong Ye retreated repeatedly, lost his footing, fell to the ground, and scrambled to crawl back up.
Yet, at this moment.
Feng Feng Yuxiu performed a stylish side-step, standing right beside Hong Ye, still holding that utility knife.
The camera zoomed in for a close-up: the utility knife was already covered in blood.
The audience widened their eyes.
Could it be?
Clatter!
Feng Feng Yuxiu threw away the utility knife and limped away.
The camera cut to a front view of Hong Ye.
A long, bloody gash appeared on his neck, blood flowing out incessantly—he had been slashed across the throat!
He widened his eyes, clutching his neck with both hands, seemingly unable to believe it before he died.
Thud.
Hong Ye's body collapsed to the ground, becoming a corpse!
In the cinema, the audience gasped, their scalps tingling, goosebumps erupting all over their bodies.
"Oh my god, Feng Feng Yuxiu killed Hong Ye with a utility knife!!!"
"Holy crap! That's too strong!"
"This fight scene is truly spectacular!"
"What a fast blade!"
"Brother Xiu is awesome!"
"After killing someone, he just limped away without looking back—so domineering, so ruthless!"
"Actually, Feng Feng Yuxiu crushed the first three people, but only Hong Ye could trade blows with him. Hong Ye's skill with weapons should be about the same as Feng Feng Yuxiu's, it's just that Feng Feng Yuxiu had the intent to kill, while Hong Ye did not!"
"Yeah, who would have thought that in a modern society ruled by law, someone would actually kill for the sake of martial arts."
"Feng Feng Yuxiu has four kills! First fists, then legs, then grappling, then weapons, then internal arts—five in one. The fifth kill must be an internal arts master! And Sister Ying must be a powerhouse at the 'Unity' level!"
"Time is running out for Sister Ying!"
"..."
The audience was shocked by Feng Feng Yuxiu's ruthlessness and began to worry for Cao Ying.
At the same time, they looked forward to the final showdown.
Although everyone could guess that Cao Ying would ultimately win, her fight with Feng Feng Yuxiu would definitely be the most spectacular part of the entire film...
In the movie.
The police brought Hong Ye's body back to the station for an autopsy.
Cao Ying clenched her fists as she watched another friend die.
Just then.
A police officer entered, saying they found a piece of fabric with bloodstains on the sword Hong Ye had used. Lu Lu Xuanxin told them to continue the analysis.
She then looked at Cao Ying: "Fists, legs, grappling, weapons—from external to internal. The external ones are finished, what is the internal one? Who is next? Why is he so obsessed with killing all these people?"
Cao Ying took a deep breath and said: "How could there be such a person in this era? Unless he is a fanatic—a martial arts fanatic!"
Lu Lu Xuanxin: "So you killed your opponent?"
Cao Ying did not evade: "That's why I went to prison. You have to pay for doing wrong things, and I am still paying."
In the car.
Cao Ying stared blankly out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Lu Xuanxin received a call from her superior, who reprimanded her.
They said it was understandable that the first three murder cases made the news headlines, but now that it was on the entertainment headlines, it was absurd. They gave Lu Lu Xuanxin three days to solve the case, or she would be replaced.
The audience laughed.
Making the entertainment headlines—that's something.
But they also understood that the police were under immense pressure to solve the case.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be Hong Ye who died. I was in prison for three years, and many things have changed," Cao Ying said to Lu Lu Xuanxin.
Lu Lu Xuanxin took a deep breath and said: "If there is another murder, not only will I be transferred, but you will also be sent back to prison. I hope that with the clues we have, we can catch the killer before he strikes again."
Cao Ying thought for a moment and said: "There was blood on Hong Ye's sword, so Feng Feng Yuxiu must be injured. He shouldn't strike again in the short term. I still need time to find out who the number one internal arts master is."
The plot grew tense once more.
What the audience did not expect was that Feng Feng Yuxiu's fifth kill would come so soon.
Only.
This time, the person he killed was not a martial arts master, but his wife—Shen Xue.
He could not bear to see his wife continue to suffer from cancer, so he killed her himself.
After killing her, Feng Feng Yuxiu had no more attachments, and only one goal remained—to become the best in the world and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!
