Eleven gently laughed and moved aside to watch the battle. A chilling bloodlust flashed through the woman’s eyes and she immediately swung her sword over. Ye Wei easily avoided her and the sword landed on the bronze statue of a white crane. The beak of the white crane was shaved clean off by the sword, and another artifact was also destroyed. Ye Wei, out of heartbreak for the destroyed artifacts, shook her head as she clicked her tongue. How could that woman be even blinder toward art than her?

Ye Wei was heartbroken at the number of treasures destroyed. She suddenly felt that this was not a good place to fight and took pity on the treasure. She estimated that half of the treasures here would be destroyed after the fight.

Ye Wei dodged the woman’s sword. The woman in black took smaller steps and swung her sword with a reverse grip. Her swordplay was admirable and her moves were delicate yet loaded with murderous intent. Her every move was gracious and they would have praised her if they were not going up against her.

The woman dealt her blows quickly, but Ye Wei was even quicker like a phantom. The two of them exchanged ten-over blows in the span of a few minutes, and Ye Wei seemed to be goading the woman on. She was not attacking but defending herself calmly. Ye Wei did not actively attack. The once vicious, fast, and accurate beauty in Ye Wei was now tame and gentle, as though the hot chick became a proper girl next door. As the woman made even more moves in quick succession and even more viciously, she realized that Ye Wei was dodging her. Her gaze sank and she stopped and questioned, “Why aren’t you returning my blows?”

“I fight the way I like. Do you have a problem with that?” Ye Wei sweetly smiled and flipped the bird at her. “Hey, gorgeous, what swordplay did you learn? Was it the Moves of the Lotus or the Heavenly Scatter? They did not seem to work. You’ve slashed and stabbed at me for so long and I’ve yet to lose a strand of hair. Are you sure that you are putting all your moves to good use?”

Ye Wei’s elegant smile clearly mocked her and her flipping the bird, which was generally perceived as obscene and crude, had an elegant muse to it. Her dominant streak was rarely seen, and a term came to the woman’s mind.

How despising!

She was, like a king, high above all who looked down. No, she despised her opponents with complete self-confidence and arrogance that did not show the slightest care for her opponent. Rage burned in the woman, which she quickly suppressed.

Mind games were an extremely common tactic in battles. While it was time-consuming, it, however, consumed extremely little effort.

The woman in black coldly smiled and said, “What is the use of bragging? If you have the balls, stop hiding and show me what you are capable of. Unless… you’re afraid?”

Ye Wei, as though she had heard a joke, laughed until she almost bent over. When she laughed, she had a somewhat loose elegance and sexiness. She then mocked her and said, “If I show you what I am really capable of, I am afraid that you cannot take the heat.”

The woman was also seemingly calm and able to tolerate the mocking and provocations of a higher-level opponent. She was not angry and said, “You want to take me on one-on-one, but you keep on avoiding me. If word of this duel leaks out, aren’t you afraid that you would become a joke?”

“Who’s going to leak it? You? Oh, gorgeous, oh, gorgeous, whether you are able to walk out of here alive is still unknown. Don’t look too far ahead.” Ye Wei sounded calm and slowly watched the woman. She secretly wondered to herself that she had yet to see such moves, which were characteristic amidst the chaos. While she was different from her previous opponents, she could not see whose moves those were.

The woman in black could see that Ye Wei was trying to probe her skills and background. She coldly laughed and said, “Deal your blows, or I will kill you without question!”

As she finished saying, she swept up the broken beak of the white crane and went for Ye Wei’s face. Eleven was also watching her moves and could not tell whether there were any famous moves. She plainly said, “Wei Wei, show her what true swordplay is.”

Ye Wei pushed away the pointed white crane beak single-handedly. She slightly squinted and leaned back. She clasped the woman’s swords with both her hands and slid up the sword. The woman was slightly shocked and tried to push Ye Wei away coldly.

As their palms met, her body moved aside and dangerously avoided the opponent’s sword. She deftly landed her hand on the crook between her thumb and index finger and tapped. The woman felt a numbing feeling at the crook between her thumb and index finger, only to realize that Ye Wei had taken away her sword.

She was extremely shocked. Ye Wei did somersault midair and flipped herself, her feet landing on the back of the statue. Her sword went for the throat of the woman and the woman avoided it, clipping the sword with her two fingers. Ye Wei smiled and released her fingers. The woman was shocked as Ye Wei’s palms hit her chest in succession. The sword returned to Ye Wei’s hands.

She raised and then swung the sword down with immense force.

There was virtually no pausing in her fluid actions that carried an air of supremacy. The woman dodged it and the pointed white crane beak was slashed into two by Ye Wei. Ye Wei, totally different from her previous defense-only moves, went wholly on the offensive.

She attacked the woman with the sword, thrusting, waving, picking, and slashing. All her moves were lethal and the woman was avoiding these attacks scornfully. Ye Wei’s swordplay was not as unpredictable as the woman’s, merely revolving around those few moves. The woman’s moves, in contrast, had a life to themselves amidst their unpredictability. Ye Wei’s moves, on the other hand, were loaded with murderous intent. The moves were the most direct moves killers would use to take a life. They were substantial, weighty, and free of fluff.

After ten-over blows, Ye Wei shredded the woman’s sleeves beyond recognition and there were a few trails of blood on her pale arms as well as a few drops of blood on the sword. As it was not in Ye Wei’s character to bully an unarmed person, she threw the sword away. She wanted her to be convicted of her loss.

“How does it feel? Do your arms ache? I can allow you to patch yourself up before we carry on fighting.” Ye Wei smiled. She smiled arrogantly.

Eleven recalled Old Witch’s comment about Ye Wei: a fighting Ye Wei is the most beautiful Ye Wei!

It was indeed so. Who else would be as despising and as arrogant as her? And who else would have her elegance and sexiness amidst her violence? She was like the most beautiful rose that would endure the test of time.

The woman’s eyes were sinister and she roared while she threw a punch at Ye Wei. Ye Wei smiled, and without avoiding her, deftly moved forward like lightning and the two women tangled together in a vicious fight. As Eleven watched on, she frowned at how fast the woman was compared to Ye Wei. Despite the numerous punches and kicks exchanged, she did not seem to be on the losing end.

As the two women exchanged blows in quick succession, she frowned. Both of them were slightly wounded, and Eleven clenched her fist. The woman in black landed a punch on Ye Wei’s chest. Ye Wei, however, smiled. The woman backed off a tad too late and Ye Wei swung her feet at the woman in black, scoring a kick on her right waist. The woman flew from the kick and viciously landed against a statue, then on the ground. Ye Wei paid a price for the move as well. Her lips were slightly white. The woman was that strong, and no typical person could withstand her blow to the chest.

Ye Wei did not say a word and Eleven did not help out. The woman leaped up from the ground and wiped away the blood trickling from the corners of her lips. The bloodlust in the woman’s eyes intensified as she roared and threw a punch at Ye Wei.

Ye Wei ducked the punch and grabbed her wrist. As she reverse-twisted it, the woman ingeniously broke free, went behind Ye Wei, and slammed down her shoulders. Ye Wei, without looking back, jabbed her elbow into the woman’s abdomen viciously.

The two of them grunted at once. The woman pulled her arm back on Ye Wei’s neck and Ye Wei felt difficulty breathing for a moment. The woman coldly smiled and continued exerting force back, each time harder than the other.

The woman kept on tugging her backward until their backs were against a stone statue. A willow leaf blade suddenly appeared in the woman’s hand that went for Ye Wei’s throat. Eleven, in shock, called out, “Wei Wei!”

Ye Wei headbutted the woman with force. As Ye Wei was taller than the woman, her headbutt nailed the woman in her forehead and the woman felt dizzy for a moment and her hand slowed down for that moment. In that decisive moment, Ye Wei grabbed her wrist and pushed it backward. The willow leaf blade savagely slashed against the stone statue behind them.

Ye Wei broke free and leaped up into the air. As she rotated in the air, she threw several kicks at the woman. Ye Wei’s kicks were much harder than her punches, yet elegant. They were nothing short of vicious and fully exploited the idea of ‘beautiful violence’. The woman in black let out a few agonizing screams and coughed a few mouthfuls of blood onto the ground. The woman landed hard against a metal frame and knocked a carpet off it. Although the carpet helped buffer her fall, she still sustained substantial injuries in the process.

Ye Wei’s few kicks accurately landed on the chest, and the woman’s face turned pale.

The blade left an extremely fine mark on Ye Wei’s neck and there was a little blood on it. Ye Wei touched the mark and raised her eyebrows at the blood on her hands and seemingly smiled. Had that willow leaf blade been a tenth of a second earlier, she would have been dead.

“Very remarkable indeed. Apart from Mo Jue, you are the second person to draw blood from me,” Ye Wei said as she smiled gorgeously. The woman covered her wounds and looked at her in hatred.

With her properly out of the fight, victory and defeat were clear.

The woman in black looked on with a razor-sharp gaze that did not recede. She was extremely unconvinced but was still coughing blood and suffering major injuries. Her coughing blood made her razor-sharp gaze and coldness less substantial. Even as Ye Wei gently smiled, Eleven was sensitive enough to notice Ye Wei’s left hand slightly trembling.

She suddenly recalled how the two of their fists had met when they were fighting. As Ye Wei’s arm strength was not as good as that of the other woman, her arm must be numb. She saw how Ye Wei’s entire arm was frozen stiff. Ye Wei did not show the slightest trace of it, and her hand was already clenched into a fist despite the trembling.

It was also a good thing that Eleven discovered it. If it had been somebody else, they would not have discovered that something was amiss with how gorgeous Miss Ye was smiling eminently.

“I do not want the painting anymore. Just let me go,” the woman in black coldly said. She was already serious while Ye Wei seemed fine. Even if the woman was slightly wounded, she could still take on Ye Wei.

However, there was an intact Eleven and the situation was not in her favor. She could not continue fighting for the painting.

With the painting in Eleven’s hands, a murderous intent came into her mind. The woman in black had injured Ye Wei. Ye Wei could tell what was on Eleven’s mind and had no second opinion. Leaving somebody who could still be a threat alive was no good idea.

They could only call somebody else an equal match only after assessing how the other person fought. While she would consider Mo Jue an equal match, he would not consider her as such. If Mo Jue were in this situation, he would have fought to the very end and not concede defeat.

She could not be kept alive!

The woman’s wrist suddenly moved, and Ye Wei and Eleven were eagle-eyed enough to immediately pull their guns. Ye Wei and Eleven aimed at the woman in black whilst the woman in black aimed at Ye Wei. Ye Wei gently smiled and said, “Gorgeous dearest, I should advise you not to see who has the fastest fingers. You will lose terribly.”

The woman was seemingly confident and coldly smiled. “I forgot to tell you that my gun is not suppressed. I may not have the fastest finger, but once this gun of mine goes off, people below will realize that somebody’s up there and we will not have a chance to escape and die here. There are magnetic waves all around the place, and I am sure you two do not want to perish with me.”

She had a cold look in her pitch-black eyes.

Eleven frowned whereas Ye Wei smiled. “You can have a go and learn whether you even have a chance to fire.”

She knew that she was saying the truth and she could not afford any mistakes lest all her earlier effort end up for naught.

“I know that your fingers are extremely fast, and you can test me to see whether I can pull the trigger. If I die, the two of you will die with me. That makes for a worthy proposition, and I will not be losing out in any way.” The woman in black coldly laughed as she tried hard to bear the taste of rust that trickled down.

The three of them stood off coldly. A moment later, Eleven said, “We’ll let you go!”

Apart from here, she would still die and nobody else could dream of saving her. If she was hell-bent on dying, there were ways aplenty and she did not need to die here. They could also tell that the woman did not want to die as well.

The woman in black looked at Ye Wei coldly and Eleven kept her gun. Ye Wei gently smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go!”

As Ye Wei kept her gun, the woman also slowly kept her gun.

“Thank you!” she softly replied. Ye Wei smiled and did not reply whereas Eleven remained cold.

Ye Wei and Eleven each walked next to the woman, and Eleven suddenly flung her hand to the right and three silver needles shot into the woman’s arm from her side. The woman, caught off guard, screamed in pain. Ye Wei quickly took out her gun and searched the woman once before her mind was at ease.

“How scheming of you!” The woman in black scolded.

Eleven’s lips curled into a smile as she held her arm hard enough to want to break it. Suddenly, the stone door revolved and the few of them were stunned. The woman, about to escape, was yanked back by Eleven and the few of them took a few steps back.

They saw two tall figures in black sports attire step through the stone door.

The stone door then closed.

The already sinister and cold secret room felt even more sinister. The man in front tucked his behind him and looked at the chaos in the room with his cold, purple eyes. His eyes eventually landed on Ye Wei.

She gorgeously laughed and said, “Dear gorgeous Mo Jue, why do I end up meeting you wherever you go? We are really rivals…”
