A Fisherman's Immortal Journey

"Are you playing? Or really not from the 'Royal Mirror Hall'?" Ye Sha's voice and tone darkened.

"I don't understand what you are saying?" Ren Wei shrugged.

Then, without warning, he struck.

In the blink of an eye, Ren Wei disappeared from the rooftop and appeared behind Ye Sha.

Whoosh...

"Heavy Ice Fist." Using a simple yet dominant fist technique, he punched aiming for the Ye Sha's back.

As expected, feeling the sense of danger from behind his back, Ye Sha quickly turned around trying to defend himself.

And he succeeded.

"Blood Cross Defense." Ye Sha also channeled his Qi and used his defensive technique.

He crossed his both hands in 'x' shape put up in front of him. As he did that, his hands turned into bloody hands.

Boom...

The sound of the heavy fist landing on the bloody hands, echoed inside the courtyard.

As he was a little bit slow to use more force, Ye Sha took more than 5 steps back when Ren Wei's fist struck him.

Tap..tap..tap...

But Ren Wei didn't take a single step backward.

Very quickly, he followed up his attack, not wanting to give Ye Sha a chance to retaliate. Because he knew if Ye Sha ever got that chance, the fight will get more complicated.

Running towards Ye Sha, Ren Wei rained down a continuous fist attack on him.

Boom boom boom boom boom.....

Unable to get a hold of himself as he faced the continuous fist attacks, Ye Sha gritted his teeth and defended himself.

But with no room to strike back, he continued to retreat backward.

Even though he was having the upper hand at the time, Ren Wei could not see a single opening for a critical hit. And he also knew if the fight goes on for a long time, eventually he would be the one to fall into the disadvantage.

Only at that time, Ren Wei understood the difference between a wild cat and a domesticated one.

Like a big house cat fighting a smaller wild cat.

However, his strength made up his lack of experience in the fight.

Even so, it was to difficult to take down a melee combat assassin like Ye Sha, who has years of experience.

As Ren Wei continued to attack and Ye Sha continued to defend himself and retreat. They eventually reached the end of the courtyard and Ye Sha's back met the wall. There was no more space to retreat.

Ren Wei also knew it.

Trying to take the advantage of the situation, he struck a powerful strike. Not with his fist, but using his dominant right leg.

"Glorious Iron Ice Leg." This time, his leg was not coated with a layer ice. Instead inside his leg was harden using icy iron. Making if practically indestructible at the moment.

Aiming for his chest, the strike arrived quickly.

Having no time to change his defensive technique, Ye Sha met the powerful leg strike using the same defensive technique. "Bloody Cross Defense."

Boom....

The powerful foot met the cross forearms.

This time, even though he successfully defend the strike, enough damage was done. On the front, he met the strike. But the impact of the force still forced him back.

And since there was no room to retreat backward, his back hit the face of the sturdy wall.

Boom...

Crack...

Simultaneously, as Ye Sha hit the wall, instant cracks appeared on the face of the wall.

"Argh..." Ye Sha groaned in pain as he hit the wall.

But Ren Wei didn't give the time for that.

His attack continued.

First it was the fist, but the second time was the powerful leg.

His right leg didn't touch the ground as he continued to kick him.

Thud...thud.. dum.. dum...

Even with his years of experience, Ye Sha could not escape the harsh attacks from Ren Wei. Part of it being weaker than his opponent.

If they were in the same level of strength, he could have done something. But the gap of 3 level difference made it difficult and impossible for him.

As the force of those kicks continues to forced him to hit the wall, more and more cracks formed.

His only hope at the moment was to pray that the wall breaks down, so that he could retreat away.

But it was like an indestructible wall, even with the numerous cracks, it still didn't go down.

'Who the hell made this wall?' Frustrated yet helpless, Ye Sha cursed the wall maker.

At the same time, Ren Wei was also wondering. He didn't expect the wall he made using tricks he saw in his dream would be so string that it could hold on to the force of Innate Qi Realm expert.

Seeing Ye Sha showing no sign of backing down, Ren Wei decided to use some tricks.

As he continued to attack, the force behind his attack started wear down bit by bit, but at the rate that Ye Sha would not suspect a thing.

As he thought, Ye Sha felt the changed in his attacks.

Inwardly, he thought. 'This guy must be someone with little experience. He is wearing down. I should take this chance and strike back before it's too late.'

As the force behind the attacks gradually got weaker and weaker, so is the countering force of defense.

Both Ren Wei and Ye Sha could feel the change. And both had each own thoughts.

Finally, Ren Wei struck his last attack with the weakest force.

Ye Sha easily defended it with his now somewhat exhausted hands.

At the same time, he smiled and tried to strike back as he thought Ren Wei exhausted.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ren Wei was also showing the same mocking smile under the hood.

Using his faster and powerful speed, Ren Wei struck his final strike. Behind it was his all strength and force he could gather.

In a split second, his strike at the front chest of Ye Sha.

Caught off gaurd, Ye Sha was still showing his smile when he felt the destructive force on his chest.

The force stuck his chest along with his exhausted crossed hands.

Together, the force spread throughout his whole torso.

Boooom....

Hhh..ghk...

When the powerful force hit his chest, Ye Sha coughed up blood.

The force not only broke his whole torso bones, it also destroyed his internal organs. Turning the whole things inside, upside down.

With Ren Wei's foot pressing him against the wall, Ye Sha stood weakly in between.

As soon as Ren Wei retracted his foot, Ye Sha's leg gave out.

Leaning against the wall and blood continuously flowing out from his mouth, Ye Sha slowly slid down. And finally his butt hit the ground.

Cough...cough...

He slowly coughed up a little more bloods.

Gradually, his muscular body changed back to normal body, Ye Yu. But the damage was still there.

It seems that Twin Body doesn't meant two separate body but rather two type of body integrated into one.

Too weak and unable to stand up, Ye Yu slowly raised his head.

Looking at the man in dark cloak, he said weakly. "Wh-who ..are y-you..?" Even at that moment, he was still asking asking same question he asked the first time.

Ren Wei slowly lifted hood, revealing his face in the soft moonlight.

When he saw the face, Ye Yu smiled weakly. "Of course, it ..is you. I should have.. known." He mockingly murmured to himself.

Seeing the situation, Ren Wei didn't show any sympathy. Because he was sure for one thing that Ye Yu came to town with the intention to bury it.

"I want to one thing. How did you know my identity?" Ye Yu asked with difficulty.

"I have my ways." Ren Wei didn't bother to explain it.

"Now, let me ask you something before you go away. Why are you here?" With a calm face, he asked.

"Hehe...if you can find out my identity, you should know about it too." Ye Yu responded mockingly.

"So, to get my treasure?" Ren Wei said as he took out his fish pot from the dimensional inventory.

Ren Wei knew the moment he saw the information sent by his subordinate. Because there was no cultivator which can afford to own a powerful treasure that even the famous 'Blood Mist Hall', except him.

And Ren Wei determined it was not the rod as it was not must of useful to others. He also didn't consider the 'Black Scale Carp' treasure too, as it would have long gone if someone knew about it.

So, the only remaining he could think of was the fish pot, a dimensional space treasure, capable of supporting life inside it.

When Ye Yu heard Ren Wei and saw the treasure in front his eyes, his face showed a rare surprise. What he said was a final mocking before he ultimately leave.

"So, you knew all along..?" Ye Yu said dejected.

"I want to know if our meeting was planned or just..." Ren Wei asked the one last thing that he wanted to ask.

"Huh.. it was just all a coincidence...." Ye Yu said as he slowly closed his eyes and his dropped down. His body could not hold anymore.

Seeing the dead body in front his eyes, Ren Wei let out a deep sigh.

"How cheap of a human life." He commented softly.

Then, he started the process of clean up.

-----

During all those time of them fighting, none of his surrounding neighbors seemed to heard it. That was because Ren Wei had already prepared and drugged them so that they would instantly went to sleep once the sun set. And for mortals, they would be inside inside house before the sun set. Which worked out perfectly for Ren Wei.
