Chapter 1604: Let's Be Fair

"That's right, are you ready?" Si was also very confident. A faint green glow appeared in his eyes; clearly, he had pushed his power to the limit. As long as Chen Yu nodded, he would immediately launch a lethal attack on Chen Yu.

"You are an assassin, and your specialty is assassination. To be exposed like this under my target, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid you won't succeed." Chen Yu shook his head slightly and looked at Si with interest. "If we are going to fight, I think it should be a fair fight."

"This is a fair fight right now. It doesn't matter to me. It's true that I specialize in assassination, but..." At this point, a faint glint appeared in Si's eyes: "When it comes to a direct head-on confrontation, there aren't many people who are my match."

"Quite a confident person. Alright then, for the sake of fairness, I will close my eyes." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "You can use your greatest strength to attack me. As long as you can touch me once, it will count as your win."

"That won't be necessary, because if you weren't someone invited by Mr. Jingtian, you would already be a corpse by now." Si grinned, and in an instant, he suddenly vanished from the scene.

Where he had been, only a wisp of blue smoke remained, while the air around Chen Yu twisted rapidly, with blue smoke appearing incessantly.

Every place where the blue smoke appeared was where he had acted. This guy understood assassination, and he also understood evasion; he was indeed a very formidable existence.

Chen Yu had indeed closed his eyes. He did not look in front of him at all, because Si's speed was too fast; even if he looked, he could not capture the location of his figure. Battles at this level relied on speed, Mind Power, and attacks on the spiritual level.

With a flash of blue smoke, Si had already closed in on Chen Yu. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he raised the blade in his hand and attacked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had originally been keeping his eyes closed and was not watching the situation in front of him at all, but just as Si's blade slashed over, Chen Yu seemed to have some sort of perception. His figure moved, and he stepped back slightly.

Although it looked like a simple step, it was perfectly timed. Si's blade narrowly grazed Chen Yu's neck; his strike had actually missed.

Si was taken aback and paused for a moment, but as an assassin who specialized in killing, he knew this was not the time to be surprised. He immediately moved his body and followed up by attacking Chen Yu from another angle. This time, his speed was clearly faster than the last, and his blade momentum was more urgent.

Blue smoke flickered incessantly in mid-air. This time, he was attacking Chen Yu's right hand.

However, just as his blade was about to touch Chen Yu, Chen Yu moved again. This time, Chen Yu's figure tilted slightly to the left.

The range of his movement was not very large, at most just a slight shift, but it was precisely this slight shift—still more than half an inch—that allowed him to dodge this blade from Si.

This mercenary squad already felt that something was wrong, because every time Chen Yu moved, the span was not very large, but coincidentally, he was able to narrowly dodge the blade every single time.

More importantly, he had his eyes closed and did not open them at all.

One must know that Si was the most formidable assassin in their team. His speed was fast, and his strikes were ruthless. If he launched an assassination on a target, he could basically resolve the target with a single blade.

But this time, facing Chen Yu, Chen Yu had narrowly dodged two consecutive blades. This showed that Chen Yu was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Si had failed twice in a row, and the expression on his face was already vaguely unable to hold up. A ghostly glint flashed in his eyes as he pushed his strength to the limit in an instant, and then he transformed into a trail of blue smoke again.

The blue smoke kept swirling around Chen Yu. This was Si circling Chen Yu incessantly; he was looking for Chen Yu's weakness. As long as he could find Chen Yu's weakness, he could strike to finish off his opponent.

Suddenly, another flash of blue smoke passed, and Si attacked Chen Yu's back.

Chen Yu shifted forward and dodged again.

Si could no longer hold back. He gave it his all, spinning rapidly around Chen Yu, and every time he grazed Chen Yu, he would strike with his blade.

Chen Yu also kept stepping around, to the left, to the right, forward, and backward.

Every time he moved his feet, it was only a slight shift forward, but coincidentally, every one of Si's attacks was in vain.

"Si, stop." Liu finally couldn't help but shout. She knew that Si was no match.

But the proud and arrogant Si would not accept it. He pushed his power to the limit, turning into an afterimage as he circled Chen Yu rapidly. Moreover, his attacks became increasingly dense, like a storm, almost without stopping.

Chen Yu simply stopped moving his feet, the corners of his mouth lifting to reveal a smile.

To Si, this smile was contempt. His actions couldn't help but provoke Si into a great rage. Si roared, then suddenly lunged, attacking Chen Yu with both his body and blade.

Chen Yu retreated and tilted his body. With a *shing* sound, the two blades in Si's hands struck a large tree behind Chen Yu that was as thick as a man could embrace.

With a *boom*, the tree fell to one side. Just at this moment, Chen Yu also made his move. He brought his right hand together, forming a Sword Finger, and pointed it at Si from a distance.

Primordial Qi condensed into a sword in this instant, bursting forth with Sword Qi. *Shing*... The white Sword Qi streaked through the air, rushing toward Si. Si hurriedly brandished the sword in his hand to parry, then couldn't help but retreat backward.

With a *thud*, Si fell to the ground. He was panting heavily, and both his hands were trembling slightly from the impact of the Sword Qi.

"Si, how are you?" Wu walked up and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Si gritted his teeth and stood up, but his legs went soft, and he nearly fell to the ground again.

Just now, he had pushed his power to the limit, yet he couldn't even touch the corner of Chen Yu's clothes. This made him feel extremely frustrated.

Moreover, he himself specialized in assassination—taking advantage of the unexpected to kill with one blade—and was not suited for prolonged entanglement with others. Fighting Chen Yu for so long had already consumed too much of his strength.

"Is there anyone else who wants to try?" Chen Yu looked at Yi: "You are the leader of the team and also the most powerful one. If you still have questions, we can still play around now."

"No, I can't beat you." Yi admitted it quite straightforwardly: "You are a Dharma Cultivator."

"Yes, I am a Dharma Cultivator," Chen Yu said.

"I have seen Dharma Cultivators, but none as powerful as you," Yi said: "Thank you. You taught me a lesson today, letting me know what a true expert is."

"Dharma Cultivators are also divided into levels, just like the strong ones in your West," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "The Dharma Cultivators you have encountered were not of as high a level as me."
