Chapter 723: Chapter 695 An Qin VS Jiang Bingyu

Looking at Wang Qianqian, fear flashed across each man’s eyes.

Initially, they thought she was just an ordinary girl, easy prey for them to handle.

Furthermore, once they captured this girl, they could use her to threaten Li Chen to release their people and maybe even extort some money from him.

But at this moment, they realized they had truly picked the wrong target.

"Who exactly are these people..."

One of them swallowed hard, fearfully looking at the harmlessly appearing Wang Qianqian.

They had watched from a distance as Li Chen had dealt with their men, watching how he easily overthrew more than a dozen of them.

And this woman, why was she also so monstrous?

A gentle push, and she sent someone flying ten meters away?

"You..." Wang Qianqian saw that the men were silent and subconsciously took a step forward, intending to speak.

However, as Wang Qianqian moved, the men screamed sharply and turned to run.

They felt they had made an incredibly foolish decision.

Watching the fleeing men, Wang Qianqian’s face was full of confusion.

...

"Who exactly are these people?" Walking on the streets of Linchuan, the woman’s face was filled with puzzlement.

She had received some information but up to now, she had not seen the person she was looking for.

"How could an ordinary woman have removed my poison?"

Upon entering a restaurant, Jiang Bingyu’s gaze drifted unintentionally toward a nearby place.

There, sitting on the other side, was none other than Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s secretary was also sitting across from him, and the two were discussing work matters.

Although Jiang Bingyu despised what Song Zhe had done, she still could not understand how such an ordinary woman could have removed the poison she had administered.

"The Lin Family... is but an ordinary family outside, it shouldn’t be possible for them to have someone capable of removing the poison I administered, so, who exactly can it be?" As Jiang Bingyu continued her investigation, her curiosity about Lin Yi only deepened.

However, what she didn’t know was that the person she was looking for had already left Linchuan.

"It seems I’ll have to stay in this place for a while." After drinking some tea, Jiang Bingyu stood up and left the restaurant.

Despite having left the Pharmacist Clan a long time ago and refusing to acknowledge her connection with the family, she was still someone who came from the Pharmacist Clan.

In the family, there were clear rules that they were not allowed to strike ordinary people frivolously.

"Has something happened in this place?"

Jiang Bingyu had traveled many places, but this made her even more curious about Linchuan.

Because she discovered that in this city, there were many skilled individuals. Though these people appeared ordinary, her keen sense allowed her to recognize their uniqueness.

Yet, she had not seen any overly conspicuous powerful figures.

"It’s really strange."

Shaking her head, unable to comprehend the situation, Jiang Bingyu continued to wander the streets of Linchuan.

Suddenly, a figure in white appeared within her sight.

"Hmm?"

Approaching her head-on was a woman dressed in white who, even to her scrutinizing eyes, seemed to have no obvious flaws.

This was a very beautiful woman, as could be deduced from the gaze of the men around her.

Similarly, Jiang Bingyu was also a very beautiful woman.

Beautiful women, they always tend to strike sparks off each other easily.

At that moment, their gazes met.

Almost simultaneously, both women slightly frowned.

The next moment, they both disappeared into the crowd.

"Hmm? Where did they go?"

"Huh? I just saw two beautiful women standing here, how come they’ve vanished all of a sudden?"

"Strange!"

However, what they didn’t know was that at this moment, the two beautiful women they had seen had already reached the rooftop.

The dangerous heights were seemingly no obstacle at all; both women had lightly touched the walls a few times and reached the roof.

"Who are you?" Jiang Bingyu frowned as she spoke to the woman before her.

"That question should be directed at you, shouldn’t it?" An Qin’s gaze also locked onto Jiang Bingyu.

"Who I am is none of your business. I just want to ask you one thing, did you dissolve my poison?" Jiang Bingyu spoke coldly.

However, the response she received was even colder, "Don’t know."

In terms of temperament, An Qin was apparently even colder; this woman, who came down from Holy Mountain, had a face as constant as the perennial snow on the mountain’s flanks, never showing any change.

"Then do you know, who exactly dissolved the poison?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Bingyu’s frown deepened even more.

"I don’t know," An Qin said calmly as she looked at Jiang Bingyu. "If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving."

As An Qin spoke, she turned to leave.

However, just at that moment, Jiang Bingyu suddenly blocked her way. "You think denial is enough? Today, I must get an answer!"

"You think you can?" An Qin slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Bingyu and the next moment, she struck out with her palm directly at her.

"Hmph!"

Seeing An Qin’s palm strike coming, Jiang Bingyu did not dodge or evade, and directly countered with her palm.

"Bang!"

Jiang Bingyu stood still, but An Qin was pushed back several steps.

"Yellow Rank?" An Qin’s expression changed. She was not far from reaching the Yellow Rank, but, after all, she was not yet at that level. Facing Yellow Rank’s Jiang Bingyu in a direct exchange had put her at a disadvantage.

Seeing An Qin step back, Jiang Bingyu immediately pursued her. In her view, this woman’s strength was decent, but there was still a significant gap between them. If she could capture her, she might get the answers she wanted.

However, just as Jiang Bingyu was closing in, a burst of cold light suddenly flashed by.

"Ping!"

Feeling the strong aura contained in the cold light, Jiang Bingyu instinctively retreated explosively without thinking.

After she stabilized herself, she noticed the cold light in An Qin’s hand and her expression subtly changed.

"Frost Sword!" Jiang Bingyu’s eyes narrowed slightly. "You are a person from the Holy Mountain! What is a Holy Mountain’s person doing here?"

"Whatever we from the Holy Mountain do, do we need to report to you?" An Qin spoke indifferently.

"Fine!" A cold smile curled up at the corner of Jiang Bingyu’s mouth. "Then today, I really want to see what people from Holy Mountain are capable of!"

After speaking, in the next instant, Jiang Bingyu charged towards An Qin.

An Qin’s face remained unchanging, as she struck out with an even sword strike.

An Qin’s strength indeed didn’t compare to Jiang Bingyu’s, but from appearance, An Qin also knew that Jiang Bingyu was a few years older than her.

She was at a disadvantage due to her age.

Without using the Frost Sword, perhaps Jiang Bingyu could easily defeat her.

But now, with the Frost Sword in her hand, it was a completely different matter.

The sweep of cold light passed, and even Jiang Bingyu, facing the sharp edge of the Frost Sword, could only evade and dared not confront it head-on.

For she could clearly feel the great threat the sword posed to her.

Even if An Qin was weaker than her, she was only slightly weaker.

And with the Frost Sword in An Qin’s hand, Jiang Bingyu could not act recklessly.

Dodging An Qin’s sword, Jiang Bingyu, using her speed advantage, suddenly circled to An Qin’s back and reached for her wrist.

If she could seize An Qin’s hand, then the Frost Sword would pose no threat.

But just as Jiang Bingyu made her move, another icy chill streaked past her ear.

"Swoosh!"

The flash of cold light passed by and landed on the ground nearby, producing a clear and audible noise.

Jiang Bingyu slightly turned her head, and on the ground, a deep and black mark appeared.

Meanwhile, the Frost Sword again thrust out, aiming straight at Jiang Bingyu.

From start to finish, An Qin’s face remained very calm. Her personality was such that even if there were any emotional fluctuations, they would not show on her face.

During so many years in the Holy Mountain, she had mastered the art of not showing joy or anger.

However, compared to the Holy Mountain, she still preferred being here, feeling unrestrained in wearing dresses.

She, after all, was still a woman, having pretended to be a man for many years, she could deceive others, but not herself.

The radiance of the sword flashed, surprisingly forcing the stronger Jiang Bingyu into a corner, while An Qin’s face remained composed.

"Now, I’ll give you a chance, tell me who you are, why you’re here, and I might consider letting you go," An Qin said coldly.

However, upon hearing An Qin’s words, Jiang Bingyu laughed.

"Let me go?" Jiang Bingyu pointed at An Qin. "You should worry about yourself first."

"What do you mean?" An Qin was about to speak, but her face suddenly changed. Her originally rosy cheeks suddenly lost their color and turned pale.

"You poisoned me?"

Jiang Bingyu leaned against the wall, watching An Qin with a cold laugh. "You were asking who I am? I can tell you, I am now a free person. Well, although, I used to be part of that Pharmacist Clan."

"Pharmacist Clan?" Hearing Jiang Bingyu’s words, An Qin’s face drastically changed.

Almost without thinking, An Qin immediately raised her hand and sent a sword radiance slashing toward Jiang Bingyu.

"Boom!"

As the sword radiance fell, the ground burst open, and debris flew everywhere.

But as the dust and debris gradually cleared, An Qin had already vanished.

Jiang Bingyu looked at the now-empty rooftop, her smile growing even richer.

"It seems this time, I might be able to reel something in."
