Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Chapter 14: Suddenly Heard a Shadow

Qiao Rui turned around and looked at the woman in the blue skirt, smiling, "Tian Jing, long time no see!"

The woman in the blue skirt brushed her bangs and smiled shyly: "Long time no see, Brother Qiao Rui, thank you so much for today!"

"It's just a small favor. As a friend, how can I just stand by and watch him die?" Qiao Rui waved his hand and said.

"I still have to thank you. It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's a matter of life and death for me!" The woman named Tian Jing spoke sincerely, her voice soft and sweet, so pleasant to the ear.

"Haha, okay, if there's nothing else, we'll say goodbye now. Goodbye!" Qiao Rui saw Liu Xinyue open her eyes and looked at him, obviously finishing her martial arts training, so he said goodbye. He turned around and asked, "Tian Jing, have you seen Xueyun these two days? I got separated from her two days ago..."

"Sister Xueyun? I seem to have seen her. Was she wearing a white T-shirt and blue denim shorts?" Tian Jing thought for a while and said.

"Yes, yes, where did you see her?" Qiao Rui originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that she actually knew it. So he became anxious and quickly walked up to Tian Jing, grabbed her hand and asked.

"Ah... it hurts!"

"Qiao Rui..."

"What are you doing? Let her go!"

Three voices rang out one after another. It was Qiao Rui who hurt Tian Jing in his excitement. Tian Jing cried out in pain. Liu Xinyue saw that Qiao Rui was in a bad mood and hurried over to call out to Qiao Rui. Tian Jing's boyfriend, the man in the white shirt, scolded him and approached to pull Qiao Rui away.

Qiao Rui reacted first. He let go of Tian Jing's hand, then took a step back and apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Then he asked nervously and expectantly, "Tian Jing, where did you see Xue Yun? Is she okay?"

Tian Jing frowned slightly, rubbed her wrists with both hands, and then smiled and said to Qiao Rui: "Brother Qiao Rui, don't worry, it's like this, I saw a girl wearing a white T-shirt and blue denim shorts on Zhoujiang Road yesterday afternoon. She looked a lot like Sister Xueyun, but she ran so fast, it seemed like she was very good at Qinggong. I didn't have time to say hello before she ran away. There was a bald man chasing her from behind, and he was also very fast. The bald man had a ferocious look on his face, which looked quite scary. They chased and fled and seemed to be heading towards the square. It was a mess at the time, so I didn't look closely."

Qiao Rui was happy at first, as he finally got news about Jiang Xueyun. But when he heard that a hideous-looking bald man was chasing her, he became worried again.

"Being chased? Yes, she must have run into some trouble or offended someone, and she was afraid of bringing trouble to me, so she didn't dare to go home, and just relied on her Qinggong to get around..."

"Why must she face danger alone... this silly woman... I want to find her... she must have suffered a lot these past few days..."

While chattering on, Qiao Rui didn't say hello and turned away with a dazed look on his face.

"Qiao Rui!" Liu Xinyue called out, and when she saw that he didn't seem to hear her, she was about to chase after him, but then she turned around and said to Tian Jing, "Tian Jing, right? My name is Liu Xinyue, and I'm Jiang Xueyun's best friend. If you see her again, please be sure to tell her that Qiao Rui and I are looking for her, and ask her to go home and wait for us. Qiao Rui's martial arts are very powerful now, and he can solve any problem for her, so that she doesn't have to worry about anything alone!"

"Yes, I will!" Tian Jing nodded in agreement.

"Goodbye then, take care!" Liu Xinyue waved goodbye to Tian Jing, and ran after Qiao Rui. Under the moonlight, the two figures gradually walked away...

Late at night, in the center of the square, a large pile of corpses were lying on the ground in a mess. Many light balls were floating around, emitting attractive light. Most of them were energy balls, and there were also a few martial arts light balls.

Two children, a boy and a girl, were wandering and stopping at the edge of the square, but they did not dare to enter the square. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, fair-skinned, and of similar height and appearance, looking like a pair of boy and girl twins.

"Sister, should we collect those light balls?" the little boy asked his sister.

"Aren't you afraid of encountering the God of Death?" my sister asked back, her tone very frightened, as if the God of Death would appear immediately.

"We just take it and run, it should be quick, right? Besides, we haven't offended him, will he kill us?" The younger brother was very brave, or maybe he was greedy for those balls of light, and tried to convince himself and his sister.

"You've heard about that killer. He kills anyone he sees and hacks anyone he meets. He has been killing people from the new district all the way to the square. Wherever he passes, blood flows like a river. Does he need a reason to kill us?" my sister retorted.

"The square is so big, maybe he is not here?" The younger brother found another reason. Seeing that his sister was still hesitant, he said crisply: "No matter what, I must go and get it. I will either die here or learn powerful martial arts and go back to seek revenge on those evil people!"

Speaking of revenge, the elder sister's eyes gradually brightened, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Well, I'll take you there, and if you die, we'll go to see mom together!"

The brother and sister looked at each other and rushed out at the same time. The distance of a hundred meters was reached in an instant, and the two were about to collect those light balls.

"hehe!"

At this moment, a soft laugh came from the darkness beside, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

The brother and sister froze and stopped moving at the same time, becoming fully alert. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman sitting on the steps of the base of the stone tablet in the square not far away. There were swords and backpacks on the ground, all covered in blood. It was horrifying.

"Kill...kill...kill God?" My sister said with chattering teeth, stammering.

"God of Death? Haha!" The man on the steps chuckled, slowly stood up and walked over. But that smiling face combined with the bloodstains on his face made him look like the God of Death from the endless blood hell.

Seeing the God of Death getting closer, the younger brother was trembling violently, but he still pulled his sister behind him with difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you don't come over!"

"Why do you call me the God of Killing?" The man's voice was cold.

"Others...others say this about you...They say you kill people without blinking an eye!" The little sister poked her head out from behind her brother and said something, then met the man's cold gaze and shrank behind her brother again.

The younger brother protected the twin sisters and slowly backed away, saying tremblingly: "What...what are you going to do? My sister is still young, please...please let her go, if...if there is anything...come to me!"

"Coming for you? Can you handle it?" The man couldn't help but smile. It was funny to hear the younger brother say that his sister was still young, but the little girl did have some responsibility.

"Qiao Rui, stop scaring the kids!" At this time, the woman on the steps also stood up. It was Liu Xinyue. She rolled her eyes at Qiao Rui, smiled softly and said to the two siblings, "Little sisters, what are your names? Don't be afraid, he is trying to scare you. We are not bad people, let alone killing gods. We only kill those bad people who do evil!"

"My name is Huang Jingyu and my brother's name is Huang Jingxuan. You are really not bad people? Then, why is he so fierce?" The sister came out from behind her brother and asked. Perhaps Liu Xinyue's comfort worked, or perhaps a sweet and beautiful woman herself could make people feel at ease. The brother and sister calmed down a little and even spoke fluently.

Liu Xinyue glanced at Qiao Rui coquettishly again, and Qiao Rui could only smile awkwardly, then turned to the brother and sister and asked, "Since you knew the God of Killing was here, why did you take the risk to come here?"
