Chapter 131: Return Home!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tread, tread, tread!

The two of them stared at each other coldly. The man with the straight saber being carried on the burly man’s back arrived at a distance and stopped on the street with his saber in his hand. His gaze was cautious and even a little frightened.

The man’s name was Cao Aning. His original identity was a eunuch in the Imperial Palace of Great Wei and a junior commander of the secret guards.

However, after the Great Palace Gate God, Eunuch Cao, lost his power along with the deposed emperor, he, a mysterious palace expert, became an exiled wanderer.

Cao Aning had killed the low-ranking official from the Ministry of Works on Bamboo Street the other night. He had thought that there were no flaws, but he didn’t expect a mole in the government to report that a ‘Ye Jingtang’ had suddenly appeared in the Black Office, saw through that he used a straight saber at a glance, and even sensed that there was something wrong with his palm technique.

Cao Aning’s Wandering Body Palm had been taught by Eunuch Cao. He had thought that there was nothing wrong with it, but to be safe, he had still gone to the morgue at night to destroy the evidence.

However, he didn’t expect Ye Jingtang to be so meticulous that he could predict the future. He actually ambushed him in the morgue and waited for him to fall into the trap and severely injure him.

If this were all, Cao Aning wouldn’t be afraid. He would just think that he had been too careless and fallen into an expert’s trap.

But what Cao Aning couldn’t figure out was that Ye Jingtang clearly didn’t chase after him. He had also confirmed that there was no tail behind him. But after he escaped to the hiding place, a large number of Black Office constables came.

After Cao Aning was surrounded, he immediately understood that Ye Jingtang had let him go cleanly because he knew that he couldn’t escape. Ye Jingtang only treated him as prey after being injured and watched his every move in secret, waiting for him to return to his lair!

After this battle, it was imaginable what Ye Jingtang’s image in Cao Aning’s perspective was. He could grasp the situation thoroughly and had incredible foresight. Cao Aning couldn’t beat him in martial arts, and even if he wanted to escape, he couldn’t get away from the Black Office and this living King of Hell. No matter what he did, where he went, and how deeply he hid, he couldn’t escape these eyes that saw through everything!

At this moment, Cao Aning wasn’t surprised at all that he had been ambushed by Ye Jingtang again. He hurriedly reminded, “This kid is very astute and shrewd. Don’t be provoked by him. Let’s go!”

No matter what, Xu Bailin was still a formidable figure in Jianghu. He was furious that he had suddenly been severely injured by a sneak attack.

But the heroes of the Black Office would be here soon. This kid was indeed not simple and wasn’t so easy to deal with. He could only say angrily, “I will remember this!”

Then he jumped to another building with one leg and flew toward the east city wall.

Ye Jingtang wanted to catch bandits for Dumdum, so he naturally couldn’t let these bandits escape. He raised his saber and pointed it at Xu Bailin. “A man doesn’t leave an overnight grudge. With such courage, you still have the cheek to fight for a spot among the Eight Chiefs?”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Bailin, who had jumped out with one leg, stepped on the wall of the tall building and turned back. He held the Blue Steel Mace in one hand, his eyes wide open like a glaring murderous god. “Die!”

Although Ye Jingtang was reckless, he wouldn’t do something stupid like blocking a heavy bar mace head-on with his saber. He immediately retracted his saber, grabbed the long rod in Luo Ning’s hand, and flashed under the eaves.

Boom!

The Blue Steel Mace smashed the stone lion outside the restaurant. The stone lion’s head immediately exploded and shattered, sending gravel flying.

Ye Jingtang seized the opponent’s weakness of moving with one leg. He stopped at the main corridor pillar and violently swung the rod with both hands!

Smack!

An explosion rang out.

The tip of the rod swept across Xu Bailin’s left leg.

As soon as Xu Bailin landed on the ground, he was sent rolling horizontally. But before he fell, his left hand slapped the ground, and he bounced up. The long mace in his hand whipped toward Ye Jingtang again.

Crack!

Ye Jingtang was behind the waist-thick red-painted pillar and raised his rod to block. But even so, under the heavy attack, the wooden rod in his hand was instantly broken, the pillar cracked, and even the roof beam swayed a few times.

“Die!” Xu Bailin seemed really infuriated. After breaking Ye Jingtang’s weapon with his mace, he raised his hand and stabbed the pillar.

Plop!

The bar mace actually pierced through the waist-thick pillar, and the tip of the mace stabbed at Ye Jingtang’s head.

However, Ye Jingtang didn’t use the pillar as a shield. He had already tilted his head to dodge. Seeing that the bar mace had penetrated through the pillar, he immediately grabbed the bar mace with his hand and yanked with all his might.

Crack!

The bar mace was inserted into the pillar until it stuck at the hand guard.

The mace couldn’t be used by those without strength. Xu Bailin didn’t think much of it at first, but when he pulled hard, he realized that something was wrong. The mace seemed to have been welded to Ye Jingtang’s hand. The strength was unbelievable, and he couldn’t pull the mace out at all.

“Haa!

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Xu Bailin held the bar mace with both hands and pressed it to the side, instantly tearing apart half of the pillar.

Crack!

The bar mace was out of the pillar, but Ye Jingtang was still holding it with both hands.

At this moment, Luo Ning seized the opportunity to raise her sword and stab at the back of Xu Bailin’s head.

Swoosh!

Xu Bailin sensed that something was wrong. His robe immediately swelled and tore the seams. He erupted with all his strength, wanting to pull out the mace and sweep it at Luo Ning.

But the young man in black in front of him was unbelievably strong. He pulled with all his might and pulled Ye Jingtang forward, but he couldn’t pull the bar mace back.

Shock flashed in Xu Bailin’s eyes. He had no choice but to let go of the bar mace. He turned around and clamped the sword blade between two fingers of his left hand. Then he threw a punch with his right hand at Luo Ning’s face.

Bam!

Wind erupted from the punch!

But Luo Ning wasn’t stupid. She was guarding against her opponent’s ‘Returning Horse Mace’. When she saw that her opponent was already retreating after exerting strength, she suddenly withdrew her sword and drew a bloody wound between Xu Bailin’s fingers.

After snatching the bar mace, Ye Jingtang immediately flipped it over and smashed it forward. Luo Ning raised her sword to intercept and lock Xu Bailin’s position.

Xu Bailin was unarmed. Facing the combined attack of the two of them, he could only retreat. But at this moment, an angry shout came from behind. “Ah!”

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the burly man in the distance had already rushed over with his podao. He rushed between Luo Ning and Ye Jingtang and slashed wildly with his saber while roaring, “Go!”

Clang!

Ye Jingtang swung the bar mace at the podao and drew his saber with his left hand at the same time, opening a bloody wound on the burly man’s chest.

Xu Bailin knew that he had been careless. But his right leg was injured, and there was nothing he could do. Under the cover of the burly man, he could only jump wildly on one leg on the street, catch the saber thrown by Cao Aning in the air, grab Cao Aning, who had no combat strength, with one hand, and fly toward the city wall.

Clang! Clang!

The commotion on the street continued, but the man with the podao was much weaker than Xu Bailin.

Ye Jingtang flipped his saber in his left hand and held it straight. He held the bar mace in his right hand and struck violently in turn. In just a few moves, he broke the podao.

Several saber wounds appeared on the man’s body. His eyes were like copper bells as he threw away the wooden handle, hugged Ye Jingtang’s right arm, and pushed forward like a bull.

Ye Jingtang raised his saber in his left hand and only needed one move to sever the man’s spine. But for the sake of a confession, he finally hit the back of the man’s neck with his elbow.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound!

The burly man knelt down and lay on the street. His movements stopped abruptly.

“Huff… Huff…” Ye Jingtang carried the two weapons and chased after Xu Bailin for a few steps.

Luo Ning reminded, “Be careful of Xu Bailin coming back to silence us.”

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang stopped and stood in front of the captive. He was panting like an ox, and his strong heartbeat could be heard from a few steps away.

Luo Ning still had lingering fear, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She leaned her back against Ye Jingtang’s back and carefully looked at the surroundings.

Ye Jingtang waited for a moment. Seeing that Xu Bailin didn’t return to silence them, he threw away the bar mace and sheathed his saber. “Xu Bailin is indeed something. He’s so fierce with one leg. Won’t he take off with three legs?”

?

Luo Ning blinked and felt that the effects of Ye Jingtang’s medicine hadn’t worn off yet. She turned around and looked at his bruised arms. “Be more serious! If your attack fails, quickly retreat. You even chased after him to slash…”

“Didn’t 1 chase him away? 1 even caught the criminal’s accomplice. It’s a great merit. At least I’ll be worshiped by Dumdum for half a day.”

“You!” Luo Ning didn’t know who Dumdum was. She thought that Ye Jingtang was spouting nonsense and said angrily, “You fought earth-shatteringly from the beginning to the end and struck with all those weapons, but in the end, the only time he got hit was by me…”

“Yes, yes, yes. Heroine Luo is the best… Phew…” Ye Jingtang had unleashed his full strength and consumed a lot of energy. After saying a few words, he sat on some steps and wiped the sweat off his face.

Luo Ning half-squatted in front of him and raised her hands to check his arms. Because she had also exercised vigorously just now, her cheeks were flushed red, and her forehead was covered in fragrant sweat. Her breath smelled like orchids, and the little watermelons under the clothes of her chest were undulating…

Ye Jingtang blinked and couldn’t help moving toward her red lips.

Muacks-

?!

Luo Ning’s red lips were kissed, and she was instantly stunned on the spot. But this time, she didn’t raise her sword to slash Ye Jingtang. Instead, she leaned back a little and said coldly, “Little thief, are you heartless? I’m checking your injuries!”

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly. “This medicine is really fierce. I can’t suppress it after a fight. It’s getting stronger and stronger. 1 feel like I can break the bed…”

Luo Ning was really annoyed by these dirty words. “You just said that you were joking with me and that there was nothing wrong with your mind…”

“I was prioritizing business. If 1 had said there was something wrong with my mind, would you have let me go block them?”

Luo Ning frowned, and her eyes became serious. She was angry and anxious. “In a fight between experts, a single thought is the difference between life and death. You clearly know that your body isn’t right, but you still came here to fight and kill? What if something happened to you?”

“That’s the way it is in Jianghu. Things won’t come when you’re fully prepared. I’m just trying to make more contributions so that Qiu Tianhe can regain his freedom as soon as possible.”

Luo Qinqi said, “1 think you’re working so hard because you want to claim credit with the princess!”

H

A twofer with one cannon—Bah. Two birds with one stone. I can’t keep a distance from the princess while trying to save someone…”

While they were talking, a sound came from the sky.

“Chirp chirp chirp-” The bird flew over the street like a white cannonball, then turned back.

Several figures followed closely behind and landed on the street. She Long and Shang Jianli were in the lead.

When She Long saw the broken walls on the street and the burly man lying on the ground, his eyes were a little shocked. He turned around and saw Ye Jingtang. He quickly walked up to him. “Young Master Ye, you are too fierce… Are you alright?”

Ye Jingtang waved his hand slightly. “It’s Xu Bailin. They went to the east city wall. This is their accomplice on the ground. Hurry up and chase after them.”

Shang Jianli and the others had important work to do. They cupped their hands and thanked him. One of them took the burly man who had fallen to the ground, and the rest chased after him toward the city wall.

Before She Long left, he reminded, “Her Highness the Prince of Jing is right behind us. Seeing your bravery, Her Highness will definitely give you a lot of praise.”

Then he jumped onto a house and disappeared from the roof.

Ye Jingtang turned around and looked at the street. “The Prince of Jing is here too. She’s just right in time to touch Bah…”

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was gradually turning into a lecherous ghost, Luo Ning thought that this situation wasn’t good.

When the princess comes, she will definitely pull Ye Jingtang away. I won’t dare to say anything…

Then the princess will discover that Ye Jingtang is drugged and extremely hungry. Naturally…

Even if the little thief weren’t drugged, he would definitely go with the flow…

I will probably have to wait outside the door…

Luo Ning’s eyes flickered. After some deliberation, she grabbed Ye Jingtang’s left arm and placed it on her shoulders. Then she held him and walked toward Dye Workshop Street. “Little thief, don’t even think about taking advantage of the princess with the excuse of being drugged. I’ll take the medicine for you to see later. I don’t believe that this medicine can’t be suppressed. If I find out that you used it as a pretext… Hand!”

Ye Jingtang leaned against Heroine Luo and wanted to lean down. When he heard this, he realized that there was a little watermelon in his hand. He hurriedly let go, gently smoothed her clothes a few times, and said apologetically, “Sorry. Right now, my boobs—pfft… brain…”

Luo Ning looked askance at Ye Jingtang and pretended not to hear the dirty word.. She lowered her head and held him to return home…
