Chapter 71

So You Really Are the Attacker [果然是攻子 Guǒ Rán Shì Gōng Zǐ] is the seventy-first chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Hiding in the bushes, Wuren comments that how rare it is to see Li Lingbiao angry, and attributes it to his bond with Che Yongtai. He further notes that the potential of Spiriters are indeterminable, and thus they are likely to acquire incredible power in a life-and-death situation. Li Lingbiao proceeds to warn Yue Wushuang about his anger, causing her to become cautious of the Spiriter. However, instead of fighting, Li flees and threatens to call more people to fight her. Yue Wushuang immediately catches up to him and jumps on him, squeezing his head between her knees to prevent him from turning his head before bending over her body to kiss him. Just as Yue Wushuang is about to kiss Li, he is struck in the face by a punch from Wuren, saving him.

Landing on the ground, Yue Wushuang berates Wuren for interfering before realizing that his bloodstone would be of higher quality and charges towards him instead. As Yue Wushuang's hands near him, Wuren uses Slippery Oil Hands and redirects her arms away. Turning his body around, Wuren prepares to grab her left arm and exercise a joint lock grapple when he suddenly notices Yue Wushuang's kicking towards his head, forcing him to hastily guard it with his right arm and leg. The force of the strike launches him across the sand for some distance before stopping. Bruised, Wuren commends Yue Wushuang for her kicking skills, who responds that the Attacker isn't limited to using their hands. Li Lingbiao compliments Wuren's defense form. He smiles before falling to the ground, confusing Li. Wuren notes that his right arm and leg bones are fractured, and that Yue Wushuang's attack strength is simply absurd, much to Li's dismay.
