Wealthy Chapter 312

“Now I really regret not killing you just now. Chen Yu Zhou, next time I definitely won’t be soft on my hands.”

“There won’t be a next time, today is the day you will die.” Chen Yu Zhou said.

The four men approached me from four directions.

I cared for the front and not the back, the most crucial thing was to take care of Chu Xiaoxiao. I held Chu Xiaoxiao’s hand tightly and comforted her not to be afraid.

“The Yin family was a prestigious family in the jianghu back then, how come they are now reduced to four against one? Isn’t the word out that they’re not afraid of the jianghu people laughing at them?”

These people were all very young, looking no more than thirty years old, they should not have been born back then when Jianghu was chasing the Yin family.

“Ignore him, let’s go together.” Chen Yu Zhou urged anxiously.

I shouted, “I’ve heard that the Yin family is ruthless and unethical, that’s why they are being hunted by the eight great families, is that really true? Oh, I originally pitied the Yin family, but now I feel that you all deserved it.”

The four men’s faces darkened, and they looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, they all wanted to rush up, but none of them rushed out first.

“What do you know, the eight great families covet our Yin family’s property and hunt us down everywhere, even the infant in swaddling clothes!”

“Isn’t that still your Yin family’s shamelessness in the forefront? You’re all in the jungle, ask around, are there four against one? If I die, there will still be eight clans to avenge me!”

The man in black gritted his teeth and stared at me, snarling, “What do you want?”

I said, “You and I will fight one on one, one on one, and if I die, it’s on me. Matters of the jianghu are settled by the rules of the jianghu.”

Chen Yu Zhou hurriedly said, “Fourth Uncle, don’t listen to him, this man is so cunning!”

I sneered, “Oh, it seems that your nephew also thinks that you can’t beat me. Forget it, your Yin family is a bunch of rabble, no wonder the other eight families look down on you.”

Chen Yu Zhou’s fourth uncle hissed and shut up, and shot a wink at the other three, “You watch from the side, no one is allowed to come up to help until I say something.”

“Fourth uncle! Don’t fall for his trick, Zhang Chao is a very treacherous person, if you listen to him you are falling for it!”

“What, do you really think I can’t beat him?” Chen Yu Zhou’s fourth uncle let out a low roar, “This is a matter for us in the jianghu, it’s a matter for the Yin family’s face, it’s not your turn to interfere.”

Chen Yu Zhou had nothing to say, so he could only retreat to the side.

I arched my hand to Chen Yu Zhou’s fourth uncle and he frowned, “What else do you have to say?”

I took a deep breath and said, “If I lose under you, please let my girlfriend live. This is a feud between me and Chen Yu Zhou, so don’t spread it to my girlfriend. And surely the Yin family agrees with the point of not killing the old, the weak, the women and the children.”

Fourth Uncle Yin snorted coldly, “Forty years ago if there was this fake Daoist study of yours, many people in my Chen family would have survived. I’m not like those dogs from the eight families, I’m letting this b*tch live.”

Chen Yu Zhou protested, “Fourth Uncle!”

Before Fourth Uncle Yin could say anything, a woman among the men in black shouted in a low, stern voice, “Shut up!” Chen Yu Zhou swallowed his words, he could ask the Yin family for help, but in the Yin family’s eyes, he, a sidekick, had no say.

I didn’t expect this Yin to be quite moral, so I said, “I also promise you that even if I win, I won’t take your life.”

I didn’t expect this to make Yin’s fourth uncle laugh, and he crossed his dagger over, his eyes looking at me from behind it, the palm-length dagger emitting a blindingly cold light at that moment.

“Kid, my Yin family makes a living from a*sa*sination, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of me.”

In an instant, his killing aura was so great that I could conclude that this man’s kung fu was definitely not weak without having to fight, just by feeling this killing aura.

I turned my head to Chu Xiaoxiao and said, “Stand back, don’t be afraid, I will be fine.”

Chu Xiaoxia’s eyes were all worried, but she also knew very well that if I didn’t fight, neither of us would be able to get out of here.

“You must come back alive. Or else I won’t forgive you.” Chu Xiaoxiao said with a sobbing voice.

“Silly girl ……” I wanted to say a few words to comfort Chu Xiaoxia, but I actually had little chance of winning myself, and the words to comfort her froze in my mouth.

I don’t want Chu Xiaoxia to find out that I don’t have a bottom in my heart, I hastily turned around.

He gave me a fist bump and the rest of the group backed away to make way for the two of us. Although Chen Yu Zhou was not happy about it, he was still pulled back by the rest of the Yin family.

Fourth Uncle Yin said in a low voice, “Here it comes.”

These words were the opening words of the duel, and as soon as the words left his mouth his whole body was as fast as a bolt of lightning, stabbing straight towards me. I took several steps backwards to avoid his attack. Uncle Yin’s dagger flew fast and the shadow of his blade wove a web in the air. I didn’t counterattack but kept backing up, dodging his attacks. Soon, he ran out of momentum with one move and stopped, waiting for his chance to strike a second time.

Although this time, Yin Siji had struck dozens of strokes, it seemed to the onlookers that it was only a matter of seconds, as if we had separated as soon as we made contact, and people like Chen Yu Zhou and Chu Xiao Xiao, who were not practising no, could not even tell that we had exchanged blows.

This time, Uncle Yin didn’t attack again, but stopped and sized me up, and I was sizing him up too.

In this short exchange of blows, it was already clear to me that his strength was far above mine.

But the Yin family is known for a*sa*sination and a*sa*sination, not for frontal attacks, otherwise I would have been killed on the spot with those few dozen moves he made just now.

But although he is fast, he is not very strong. a*sa*sinations are mainly sneaky, aiming to kill the enemy with a single blow, and there are very few head-to-head a*sa*sinations. After the two of us had just fought, his breathing had become noticeably shortness of breath, which is why he had to stop and take a break.

Specialists are not the same as experts in the jianghu. We specialists may not have the same unpredictable kung fu as the jianghu experts, but we can observe the environment and the enemy, which is an advantage these jianghu experts cannot compare with.

According to the speed of Yin Siji, as long as I kept more than five metres from him, I could guarantee my safety, if I let him invade within five metres, my life would be in danger.

He was as fast as a ghostly lightning bolt, I could defend but barely, and as my physical strength declined, the gap in defence was sure to grow.

I was just thinking this when his figure shifted and disappeared directly in front of my eyes.

I drew in a breath of cold air, and my instincts, honed from countless births and deaths on the battlefield, made me turn around quickly, only to see that Uncle Yin had somehow managed to appear behind me, jumping up and raising his dagger to slash down on my head.

I didn’t dare to meet his edge, so I rolled on the ground to avoid the five slashes that came after me, and a three- or four-centimetre-deep groove appeared on the concrete floor.

She didn’t dare to scream for fear of breaking my heart. Only when she saw that I was fine did she put her hands down and prayed for me with folded hands.

He was carrying his dagger and looked like a hunting wolf, panting heavily and circling around me, his prey.

I patted the dust from my body and stood up, cursing in my mind but smiling on my lips, “The name is true.”

Fourth Uncle Yin smiled fiercely too, “You’re not bad either. Worthy of dying under me.”

“Dare I ask what to call you, and if I die, let me die too.”

“I am Yin Qiang.”

I didn’t expect the name to be quite ordinary, perhaps after the Yin family had disappeared from the jianghu, in order to remain anonymous, the descendants were given rather ordinary names.

“Fourth Uncle Yin be merciful.” I laughed.

Those two attacks just now had consumed Yin Qiang so much that he didn’t dare to attack rashly. For an a*sa*sin, not being able to kill the enemy twice could mean that the mission had failed, and if he didn’t relent it might be the end of the line.

But this time was different, he was one-on-one with me and retreating would mean admitting defeat.

“Fourth Uncle Yin, your Yin family is at least a prestigious family in the jianghu, just forget about taking money for your work in the past, now you’re standing up for a kid like Chen Yuzhou, won’t you lose the Yin family’s status?” I asked, also in a roundabout way.

In fact, I just wanted to take advantage of the talk to distract him a little.
