Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Where Is She

However, the two women opposite did not panic. They still stood in place, the smile on their faces growing even more pronounced, even carrying a hint of disdain.

Seeing Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao make a move, they not only showed no hint of panic but instead displayed a look as if watching a show.

"Humph, two overconfident fools." One of the women sneered, "You dare lay hands on us with your ability? What a joke."

The other one was equally defiant, full of disdain: "A mere Xiao Hei? Today, let me show you what we call a gap!"

Before her voice had fallen, the two simultaneously raised their hands, not retreating in the slightest, meeting Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao’s attack head-on. Two powerful surges of Spiritual Power collided in the air, stirring up a gale, and the entire side hall instantly became a scene of lightning and fire.

Ye Qingchen’s fist carried an unstoppable force, striking directly at one woman’s chest, his movements as fast as lightning, as unstoppable as breaking bamboo.

However, the woman seemed prepared, raising her arm to forcibly withstand the blow, though she was shaken back two steps, she showed no sign of fear.

"That’s all there is." She sneered, though a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, the contempt in her eyes became more apparent.

Xiao Xiao’s attack aimed directly at the other woman’s vulnerable point, her Spiritual Power transforming into a sharp blade, slicing toward the woman’s throat.

Yet, that woman merely sidestepped slightly, easily avoiding the lethal strike, then counterattacked with a palm aimed at Xiao Xiao’s shoulder.

Two forces collided once again, causing the surrounding air to momentarily freeze.

Xiao Xiao was shaken by that palm, retreating repeatedly, but she did not back down. Instead, she gritted her teeth, persisting, launching another offensive.

The two women opposite still bore mocking smiles, clearly not taking Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao seriously.

Though they were slightly inferior in strength, they managed to fight Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao to a standstill with their agile movement techniques and bizarre tactics.

Ye Qingchen’s gaze was as sharp as an eagle, he had already discerned the reality of the two, knowing they were merely relying on skillful techniques to engage him.

However, he was in no rush to secure victory, instead, he advanced steadily, step by step compressing their space of movement. And Xiao Xiao closely followed Ye Qingchen’s tactics, not giving the opponents any respite.

The battle gradually entered its climax, the vast side hall filled with intense Spiritual Power fluctuations and afterimages, the entire space trembling as if in the midst of a fierce fight.

Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao’s cooperation grew increasingly harmonious, their attacks became more and more fierce, finally causing the two women to begin showing signs of fatigue.

The two women initially full of confidence, considering Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao as mere insignificant figures, especially since they were disguised as Da Hei and Old Liu, appearing utterly unthreatening.

However, as the battle progressed, their confidence was gradually suppressed.

Despite repeatedly attempting to regain momentum with nimble movement and ingenious tactics, they found Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao’s attacks not only fierce but increasingly precise, giving them almost no chance to breathe.

As time went by, the two women started to feel somewhat powerless.

Especially when Ye Qingchen’s repeated powerful attacks numbed their arms and stirred the blood in their chests, their surprise quickly turned into a deep sense of crisis.

The scorn and disdain in their eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a hint of fear and confusion.

"How... How is this possible?" One woman couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, her tone full of uncontained shock, "How could the two of them be so strong?"

The other woman also was incredulous, hurriedly dodging a heavy punch from Ye Qingchen, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

Her gaze quickly swept over the enemies in front of her, a strong sense of unease welling up in her heart, "When did Da Hei and Old Liu become so formidable? No, they’re not Da Hei and Old Liu at all!"

The two were in disarray at this moment, no longer daring to underestimate the opponents in front of them.

They finally understood that the two people before them were by no means ordinary, perhaps not even the two they believed they knew.

"We can’t go on like this!" One of them suddenly realized the severity of the situation and hurriedly said to her companion, "If we keep fighting like this, we are bound to lose. We must change our strategy!"

They exchanged a glance, reaching the same understanding almost simultaneously.

Their figures instantly separated, no longer attempting to confront Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao head-on, but began maneuvering around, utilizing the complex layout of the side hall.

Their combat strategy clearly changed, no longer attacking blindly, but adopting hit-and-run tactics, trying to use the hall’s pillars and screens to continually expand the distance from Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao by exploiting the terrain advantage.

Their movements became faster, like two nimble foxes, constantly changing positions, sometimes feigning attacks, sometimes evading, evidently stalling for time, waiting for the best moment to counterattack.

"Be careful, they’re stalling for time!" Ye Qingchen immediately figured out their intention, whispering a warning to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao also saw through the opponent’s intent, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "We can’t let them succeed, we must finish this fight quickly!"

The two exchanged another glance, swiftly reaching a new understanding.

Ye Qingchen decisively acted, his body moving like lightning, pursuing one of the women, while Xiao Xiao closely followed, launching an attack on the other.

They didn’t give the two much time to think, once again forcing them into high-intensity combat.

Even though the opponents attempted to maneuver using the terrain, Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao’s synergy became more seamless, each strike seemed rehearsed countless times, precise and lethal.

As the fight progressed, the pressure on the two women grew increasingly intense, the surprise on their faces growing too obvious to cover.

"Who exactly are they?!" One of the women couldn’t help but grit her teeth and shouts in a low growl, fear in her heart growing ever stronger.

They never anticipated the two in front of them would be so difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen suddenly exerted force, his punch aimed at her chest, the force almost knocking her off balance instantly.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity, quickly closing the distance, driving the woman into a corner.

The two women realized they had been forced into a desperate situation and completely lost their composure.

They initially intended to turn the tide with strategy, but instead, drove themselves into a more dangerous position. These opponents were much more challenging than they had imagined.

Ye Qingchen continued pressing closer to the two of them, the two women trembling and retreating continuously.

Ye Qingchen coldly smiled at the scene, asking, "I’ll ask you again, where is the woman in the hall right now?"
