Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

"I suggest you not to move," Xu Tong's voice carried a hint of coldness, "Swords have no eyes, and it's also coated with the world's number one poison. If you're not careful, you might end up dying young."

Upon hearing about the world's number one poison, Ye Caiyao immediately exclaimed, "The world's number one poison? Could it be the legendary Soul-Melting Powder?"

Xu Tong: "...You're right, it's the legendary Soul-Melting Powder. It only needs to draw blood to kill instantly, so you better not act rashly!"

Ye Caiyao: "I was lying to you, there's no such thing as Soul-Melting Powder. I made it up."

Xu Tong: "..."

Ye Caiyao: "..."

Readjusting the sleeve sword in his hand, Xu Tong's expression turned serious, "What, do you want to gamble with me? It doesn't matter to me whether I win or lose, but you only have one chance. Once you lose, your life is gone."

What Xu Tong said was indeed true. Regardless of whether the sleeve sword in his hand was actually poisoned or not, Ye Caiyao didn't dare to gamble. Winning the gamble would be fine, at most she would end up with an unsightly scar, but losing the gamble would mean her life would be gone forever.

"I understand," Ye Caiyao said in a deep voice, "It seems your martial arts are indeed extraordinary. No wonder he wanted me to come and test you out. I didn't expect that this test wouldn't reveal your abilities, but instead revealed mine.

"Since that's the case, I can't hide anything anymore, I have to bring out all my trump cards!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud noise was heard, and Xu Tong suddenly felt a strange tremor coming from beneath his feet, even causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Ah ha! Take your life! You lecherous man!"

Ye Caiyao shouted, and her twin daggers had already pierced towards Xu Tong's throat.

The latter, however, remained calm, because he already had several countermeasures in his mind.

However, before Xu Tong could actively make a move to respond, a second person appeared in his sight, stopping Ye Caiyao's actions with thunderous means.

Boom—

Like a cannonball, Bai Xia charged over and directly kicked Ye Caiyao in the spine, sending her flying hundreds of meters away!

The power of this kick was so great that even describing it as a missile would not be an exaggeration!

After Ye Caiyao's figure flew out, she was already paralyzed on the ground, completely motionless. This kick directly killed her.

Bai Xia stabilized his figure in place, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"You, dare to snatch people from me?

"Don't you even look at what level you're at!"

After speaking, Bai Xia looked at Xu Tong, who had already stabilized his figure to the side, and grinned.

"Am I just in time?"

Xu Tong glanced at Ye Caiyao, who had been kicked into a dog lying on the side of the road, and didn't know how to answer.

"I hope you'll be a little slower next time."

Bai Xia: "..."

---

In the Imperial City, although Xu Tong was abducted by Ye Caiyao, the Demon Fox Guard still dutifully brought Shen Yu to the front of the East Depot's main hall.

It wasn't because Shen Yu was also someone they were looking for, but because Shen Yu could testify for them, saying that he was kidnapped by someone else. Otherwise, relying solely on their one-sided statement would be somewhat unconvincing.

"Subordinate, Demon Fox Guard Captain, reporting!" The Demon Fox Guard Captain took a big step forward and knelt on one knee in front of the main hall's door. "Subordinate performed poorly, the target was abducted, only bringing back an eyewitness. Please forgive me, my lord!"

At this time, Shen Yu had already prepared his countermeasures, holding his spear in his hand, ready to strike at any time to avoid being taken advantage of.

However, the person who came out of the main hall gave Shen Yu a strange feeling.

"Damn it, is there anything you guys can do right? I'm really impressed. What's the use of bringing back an eyewitness? Why not go find the person!"

Muttering, Yan Yichen walked out of the main hall.

He originally had some other things he wanted to say, but the moment he made eye contact with Shen Yu, all the words were swallowed back.

Yan Yichen: "Why are you here?"

Shen Yu: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question? Why are you here? And... are you the Director of this East Depot or something?"

After a moment of silence, Yan Yichen roughly understood what had happened, waved his hand, dismissed the Demon Fox Guard in front of him, and ordered them to search the entire city for Xu Tong's whereabouts.

"You come in first, I'll explain it to you slowly," Yan Yichen beckoned Shen Yu to come in. "We're not enemies right now, at least not until the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament. Speaking of which, did you see who abducted Xu Tong?"

Shen Yu naturally clearly saw what Ye Caiyao, who abducted Xu Tong, looked like. After describing her to him in the simplest language, Yan Yichen immediately reacted.

"Isn't that Ye Caiyao, one of the experts recorded on the Heaven Ranking? This is troublesome..."

Shen Yu didn't quite understand what Yan Yichen was troubled about. He was a simple-minded person who only thought about completing the main quest when entering a dungeon, and didn't care about the side quests or the dungeon background at all. Anyway, he just relied on his martial strength to clear the game.

"So what's so troublesome?"

Scratching his head, Yan Yichen said, "Ye Caiyao is mainly from the West Depot. This Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament was organized by the West Depot, so it can be said that all the initiative is in the hands of the West Depot.

"As long as the West Depot doesn't want to hold it, this Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament will never be held! And our main quests are related to the Imperial City Martial Arts Tournament, which means that as long as the West Depot has the intention, our main quests will never be completed."

As soon as Shen Yu heard Yan Yichen's explanation, he immediately understood the seriousness of the problem, and immediately raised the spear in his hand, "Then why don't I just go and kill the Director of the West Depot right now?"

Seeing Shen Yu so excited, Yan Yichen immediately stopped him, "Wait, wait, it's definitely no problem for you to have this idea, but the Director of the West Depot is extremely strong, even surpassing the level of experts on the Heaven and Earth Rankings. The reason why I wanted to call Xu Tong over was because I hoped he could contribute and work with you to defeat the West Depot Director.

"With the two of you working together, I believe you will definitely be invincible!"

Shen Yu thought about it and felt that there was no problem.

"So the question is," Shen Yu asked, "Where should we go to find Xu Tong?"

Yan Yichen: "I'm also thinking about this question. The Director of the West Depot has probably realized that Xu Tong's strength will pose a threat to him, so he's deliberately trying to get rid of him. We must rescue Xu Tong!"

As he said that, he patted his chest.

"I'm naming this plan..."

"The Xu Tong Rescue Plan!"
