yJaKKZCdwIlUUZPJinbao stared in astonishment at the man. There was something familiar about him—he had definitely seen this man before.rmblfSoxKhBsVrzABvDpXxVvkSJaSI
efpOPkeMlAPsWEVIn the past ten years, Yu Mingjing’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but his eyes had grown much more world-weary. He looked at Yue Siming and gave an inexplicable smile, “Young Master Yue, you’ve grown up.”cDGLKctCnOHgeFMSJMhPluYQUUxAGs
YYwJeAmvfdoUoMxYue Siming suddenly jumped up, moving with lightning speed. His fingers turned into claws as he lunged at Yu Mingjing like a fierce beast.PIxsQpNIIdYfRlZWXmoHaYPJshPWGN
qYyVhYZZftjYXWxYue Siming was different from ordinary martial artists; he never carried heavy weapons, usually attacking with silver needles. But his hands were as sharp as blades, capable of tearing enemies apart with ease—though he found it dirty and rarely resorted to it.jTjMZzwTZDTqLyUMrWxdnBglmqbhLA
gsqjDWDvyVuQqIbHowever, he was desperate now. He held onto a sliver of hope that if he could kill Yu Mingjing before the man could control him, he would accept living with the blood parasite for the rest of his life.ULWpsScCprCSiFvryOdGbnDfcIMxak
hpFBcIwONIZlXmYWhen Yue Siming unleashed his power, his speed was astonishing. No one present could clearly see his movements. The seven or eight zhang between them seemed like mere steps. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yu Mingjing, his iron-crushing hands poised to snap his neck.jcoXCmVhzBRjLNVrmvVBFvBiHNxiLf
GqBKovOfHYZmsnsThe person who had been standing silently behind Yu Mingjing moved as soon as Yue Siming made his move. His figure blurred as he flashed in front of Yu Mingjing, but it was too late to draw his sword. He could only raise the scabbard to block Yue Siming’s hand.PzSFktxxAaohXpnfEEZXXVrabXGKUr
GtRlpljftOpTILRYue Siming quickly recoiled, then leaped again, flipping to Yu Mingjing’s back, his claws relentless as they aimed for his back.zLadGQwfHEFqkWnVHXLvCtIYVsLikH
WwvGMLOCiFZzVNCThe man circled behind Yu Mingjing as well, lifting his foot to kick away Yue Siming’s hand, and engaged him in close combat.vbeXujxBoBSxDlsSXVPiXBOqPjdLeo
kIgPBkTtTxqiUUQJinbao watched the fierce fight, his heart pounding in fear.zWwOmETAViIPBDbjJENnrZnWfNHyMy
lxsmMnuhCPkqEibHe now believed Yue Siming’s words—the masked man was indeed a master.WYVCKQGOfKIhsQAxscgLsKQPyUaWJA
IyWTAYYlfhupGtuThe man was quite tall, his muscular body tightly wrapped in a fitted outfit. His movements were as swift as a tiger, but his eyes were incredibly calm, devoid of any human emotion. Compared to him, Yue Siming seemed a bit reckless. The angrier Yue Siming became, the more impatient he grew, and the less he could focus on his opponent. In just a few moves, his attacks became disorganized, leading to repeated failures.HrLrtURBdcyRTVvtkhkIyuQFAjLrQP
zBJeedsnYHeIexsJinbao caught a glimpse of Yu Mingjing being surrounded by several Wu clan members. He raised his arm, chanting under his breath, and began drawing something on his arm with blood-stained fingers.OZDYNjhaKOAYWjIsJaLmSHCFqrFJWC
yYKJcWoTmsOnFrNOne of Yue Siming’s subordinates shouted, “This is bad! Young Hero Jinbao, hurry and take the young master away!”gcPibJzMHBdGaHBMKiIAEMoBResTbl
FTeKfsvCfpxzAWYJinbao quickly gathered his energy and charged towards Yue Siming, who was locked in a fierce battle.YJXkLVUkMqlKMHFepssrKKTWjwmgKg
OORQumUHhOZBZkDIgnoring everything, he dashed forward, shouting, “Yu Mingjing is drawing some kind of cursed symbol! Stop fighting and get out of here, now!”UuASMRdwDlzEAjUauHdjmNWMUEGbRD
vjPIFUlDCfBppCoYue Siming paused for a moment when he saw Jinbao rushing over, worried that he might accidentally hurt him, causing his movements to falter slightly.aOuPYafFpnkDNCYEuqwoSfoEuywHwI
OwHXmKuDhBjCfpPSeizing the opportunity, the masked man delivered a powerful punch to Yue Siming’s chest.KtastMmiajbDLcDJHkSkZYDvDCisah
IkmsfObBDCdXreYYue Siming was sent flying instantly.gGbQYGcOOiRcnIeNwIrdJLuPeQldcq
CEEIbHRQVgxyIijJinbao hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up, urging, “We need to go, now!”pPNYvCjmejKfCCUdawmSzlhQYdFrNE
toDdaMwpmdHASbxBlood trickled from the corner of Yue Siming’s mouth. The punch had been incredibly heavy; if he hadn’t protected his heart in time, an ordinary person would have been killed on the spot.aubidxJZnMBHqrYFOnrHoFfLmnQfTS
OGTlVFVEaVdVqYmFearing another attack from the masked man, Jinbao dragged Yue Siming and began to run.CsQzKOGmfhuGsKHrjbKirLnsIgBNGo
HrZLcDZIHtgZCgfStrangely, the masked man did not pursue them after knocking down Yue Siming. Instead, he stood still, unmoving.RWheOXTEYhfUrRvshnPPGgofGERdtp
UqxWTvJmRmiTZFWThe sounds of battle erupted behind them. Unable to resist, Jinbao glanced back. Two groups had started fighting, with Yu Mingjing still chanting, and the masked man had returned to stand beside him, as motionless as before.NccTUTfiOruBvZGLnefQIjZlHeADIH
QQrxjJOPPGWxsgaSuddenly, Yue Siming let out a wild scream and collapsed to the ground.OOCkMeHtVgWulhWHTsUrmsNclccLgU
SamqjrbLphGeTgq“Doctor! Doctor!” Jinbao anxiously looked at the suddenly crazed Yue Siming, realizing it was the blood parasite within him acting up.IumCUlrlbcDJoqHrsJGBfrPTKoslbL
kSELEtpVfDwxoiAWith a hoarse voice, Yue Siming shouted, “Little Hu, get out of here, now!”riNAedUuOHuCUWWjNBArcIzmdVqdOc
XjtaNKHrgWPUmkMWithout hesitation, Jinbao hoisted him onto his back and took off at a sprint.IIBesbngBHPAxDeNUxsahWKtBuiRAl
ParevfsTHDLtvTYSure enough, ever since he started following Yue Siming, his luck had taken a nosedive. Two outings, and both times they were ambushed on the road, with him ending up carrying Yue Siming to escape each time.OcPuQEwdDHGKivqDgMVNBbdlgcjREc
ZQTVUNITGQaWPORIt had to be some kind of karmic debt he owed Yue Siming. Other people might get to enjoy the warmth of a newlywed bed, but for him, after much coaxing, he’d finally found someone, only to be constantly surrounded by life-threatening dangers.TWXkFlveNQjmrpuLlDmxWxlDjrloZG
UBHRPCSpkEDPalTBack then, Zhao Cai had warned him numerous times that following Yue Siming wasn’t safe.ZtNmjSOHthIUmQVwUzALjnZLHxSrFa
PtCtDnObwHADqhwHe hadn’t even dared to tell Zhao Cai everything about Yue Siming. If he had spilled the whole truth, Zhao Cai would have gone to any lengths to prevent him from staying with Yue Siming.gAgjQnkarmmFToLytORCFitRmxELtI
OALyAePWSdsJnTPBut now, no matter what, it was too late. Today, either he dies here, or he’ll never hand over his wife to those villains.SoEBFgmdawhpYvapKjjGFICbGBrWDx
XVSvrjskgUHXNGjUnfortunately, his wife no longer shared his resolve.VWskmfwUfIFKzcezRCSOUfVYeCEJCd
ReWOtOhauFCxoLYJinbao was running for his life when suddenly, a heavy blow struck his side. He screamed in pain as the force sent him tumbling to the ground. The unexpected punch had paralyzed half of his body, leaving him lying there, unable to recover for a long time.JynxQsTlstRMJBALtnqdOwQbfQoaNn
fsbamvszYtkgfHEYue Siming stood up from the ground, his face drenched in sweat, twisted in agony.yBfoROxMmhAMYakorLYZPtDcgIQPQG
HUrhGckvZwIfnFwHe forced a few words out through gritted teeth, “Little Hu, run!”saucAVsOwhTEfPmTyfJXiwnMTPpfzF
xUVdUZgLtlwPzekYet, instead of fleeing, he pulled out a handful of silver needles from his robes and flung them at Jinbao.SIomAlUGkgGUKGMuIkpllOEVOoUwYE
qyBePpiAblhGaWEBut the needles clearly missed their mark, not a single one hit.FuxkpXjGQKHKNjpjCXVwmCtRGwjEvo
JnTGmErfCqUQhVNYue Siming suddenly dropped to his knees, letting out a beast-like roar, “Ah—Little Hu! Go! Get out of here!”ZBivcgMcIvqFJZeiNNcBloUPwqgdJi
qDwIEnYXYCxTXUjThe sight of this brought tears to Jinbao’s eyes. He saw Yue Siming’s trembling shoulders and the blood dripping from his tightly clenched fists, knowing he was struggling in unbearable pain.TppzwKoeASQvjmPovoZzvEaYwwICdV
jPqKTfnJylEImghJinbao moved towards him, but Yue Siming jumped up from the ground and attacked.oFxUafnDCZoHqGlIvQPWiTDOyVAyHH
PvDPMQFgpzcvwkYHowever, midway through his strike, he froze in the air, unable to complete the move. Yue Siming’s throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, veins bulging on his forehead, “Go!”tZyphELUdbVAYvonKTrWgmglvoUwAE
neMyaNrqbuXBngFDetermined, Jinbao swiftly moved behind Yue Siming and, taking advantage of his struggle, delivered a sharp karate chop to the back of his neck.qZvQXuvrYCUwAEfHisNsUqkNHrJpKc
diDfQzpgGjFivlsYue Siming’s body went limp, collapsing into Jinbao’s arms.XNfNenhYnMEZqyCjQUssfttLauxAqa
umEtAAnRMZDpcdsJinbao hoisted him onto his back once again.BWxjYkXXCoKBJGNjVEfAMjbVVCarGG
wQFEoyCUIDIryjKHe didn’t dare to seal Yue Siming’s acupoints, fearing that if he lost control of his internal energy and his acupoints were blocked, it could be fatal.zWKGzdDPpBCQkRIoUGIQHisAlfdkTl
BZHKRgRbxPUnlEESeeing this, Yu Mingjing lowered his blood-stained arm, watching coldly as the two gradually disappeared into the distance. He quietly instructed the masked man behind him, “Go after them.”OMGXVIinZXlAgseiAiFMSobfsEmlQl
ejHpoNgQAkrwbuDThe masked man, previously motionless like a statue, immediately sprang to life upon hearing the order, channeling his energy as he pursued the fleeing pair.jXPpPQbWEWLmOzTDuUaVoCcLyJNLXD
JjjLbJwEHiMPetqThe Yue family’s guards, seeing this, quickly moved to intercept him, but they were no match for the masked man. He effortlessly defeated them one by one. However, their efforts bought some time, and Jinbao had already carried Yue Siming past the bend and out of sight.YOXLTAftGzACjloWBfmWCotGNEmHOH
eyicAcIXukarKMqJinbao, with the unconscious Yue Siming on his back, sprinted desperately through the dense forest, his heart filled with despair.IgfIwsThdQQpepDgARYULGZeKqwXUm
KITqxNQmMKYbIZPThis situation was eerily similar to the last time—they were being pursued again. But this time, he wasn’t sure if they would be as lucky and escape unscathed.WjSoXkQwsnoJBwHfRlyDBVJpHhyoWI
JYhTlIvOkJuORgaCarrying someone heavier than himself, Jinbao couldn’t run fast, and the masked man was incredibly skilled in light-footed martial arts. Jinbao could already hear the wind stirred by the man’s rapid approach.yzBGAPzQJibdIomuMdqjkYUdnViNXt
ubNJabRGhrgcMJIThe forest was dense, making it impossible to tell direction, and Jinbao, fearing they’d get lost, could only follow the sound of running water.zPqABAUPuOGFInAsXxFSwbaKVdoqhu
KZncPgUhIahjjHQSuddenly, after pushing through layers of trees, the forest opened up before him—to reveal a sheer cliff.MYMixqNDRMFhTAesoaufuxpngfIVwX
NJaVaCuQVwNenCQJinbao’s face paled as he turned back, only to see that the masked man had already closed in with a few agile leaps.blYpKXBDGRTGdBaSPGgbrixRsiRDMH
gCddNKiSdtGYMTLIs this really the end for us?frXnlniZLXPdXTPWnujtnjodlbgFKX
DegNVxRfrWIeXoEGritting his teeth, Jinbao dropped Yue Siming to the ground, swiftly drew his sword, and, with a loud shout, charged at the masked man.AjRZFOsuEnVAaOdmexUqCrPPOSVPkx
SgnULlJMphLLMvvJinbao had grown up in the martial world, but he was utterly inexperienced. He had always heard the saying, “There’s always someone better,” but it was only now that he truly understood the reality of those words.rHfFpJEwXbmcImMMkazrKUVAXdXkEE
pVHltnHeKAPezfQThe masked man’s skill was unfathomable. Jinbao felt like a child in his presence, utterly insignificant.dAAhJsigufkfBORVQCCFXzvgSzYSsm
NGWCkNMIdkHCKpqThey exchanged no more than three moves before the masked man struck Jinbao in the abdomen, sending him flying. He landed heavily next to Yue Siming.icAmrxrairUgjqzohpMspZKOKNauUj
vluEoSYryMcoMTIThe pain in his stomach was excruciating, making him feel as though his insides were churning. Yet, he stubbornly tried to push himself up.QBXOqHqsMKlYeEvODVJITSMINxxuWc
cGXFJNlcHmMJgOsBut the masked man did not attack again. Instead, he kicked the sword away from Jinbao’s reach, then stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching the two of them lying on the ground. Suddenly, he spoke, “Jump.”tPVwgdMydVZuZZByxFozUOdDkMLaEe
yktZnUXcDGQdUjSJinbao stared at him in shock.KiiepwMMpzqQyXGmkQUGxiOuKrzXey
InOfdBjSqtbzZubThe masked man’s voice was as cold as ice, completely devoid of emotion.SJMzSfbIkyMFzBJvtkIQiROSNVjGAF
CUBbrasmJDetbneHe repeated, “Take him and jump.”LblyzyJrNjlTjFeHuvBQNRiomuugHs
bjAYWAMnOTNPoFfJinbao glanced back at the cliff. It wasn’t terribly high, and below was a fast-flowing river. He was a strong swimmer, and if they jumped, there was a chance they could survive.mdsIPhnxXCzBNxgYhdTGfAHbegPpJv
UXEkiCkhFWJIAlcWiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jinbao looked at the masked man with suspicion.NphGCCMyFmVrLfXlIRwqDAxvTHwwYF
XQoxMFvutiiTbeaThe masked man took a step closer, commanding, “Jump.”FyzCLgrUDtSlWDDvnJwWmExytUHaNj
sKWDNrMukOAneGMThere was an undeniable authority in his voice that sent a chill through Jinbao, leaving him secretly unnerved.mccIAXAXnGJQberDMhkxvNJVYglhWE
dcxIUHMhOpQLGQgGritting his teeth, Jinbao lifted Yue Siming, afraid the man might change his mind. He slowly backed toward the edge of the cliff, his eyes fixed on the masked man. Then, with a quick glance at the rushing water below, he shut his eyes and leaped into the void.lHyWRhlyyuFQLspwEfPwMXzniLyRFP
