QAUzZxMlprkvEgEJinbao stared in astonishment at the man. There was something familiar about him—he had definitely seen this man before.srPgYnfOMshDFXVNYmfkqxVvTZQjUJ
mRVjydvjAPYOOsKIn 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.”gUARWxvCsXRyYAGDBiYyoIuEhizoja
bAQQitRSrNOBKzmYue Siming suddenly jumped up, moving with lightning speed. His fingers turned into claws as he lunged at Yu Mingjing like a fierce beast.rIRTuCWMMjNWmzknjtPHUzlvLbWIxe
XsSAxZPZXPNTSHFYue 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.mHmNlgqVXrHAEQMqNdVRbOgNSaiYAD
mntgEFBAzwdTypDHowever, 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.SdBJAOXwlFJPbJJAjHBiujNRCPxCNY
TkPOhpPcEYUFWyBWhen 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.DqqRPzkgCmPaCZYQbAbwsRRQUDnwqm
FVNNSusFMBiJgDPThe 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.GHnBKRPYscongWamLODswgjjABnyjx
nhXDddzVDayYZRXYue Siming quickly recoiled, then leaped again, flipping to Yu Mingjing’s back, his claws relentless as they aimed for his back.sbPMTaMlvyWrElKJNSafERaRvcdFVM
sNjoDaOXPfsRXhAThe man circled behind Yu Mingjing as well, lifting his foot to kick away Yue Siming’s hand, and engaged him in close combat.mdmkcUPysBOQlMYbTetCTCbedXLAsJ
OYpTNXvnPLEswkfJinbao watched the fierce fight, his heart pounding in fear.kxSSYjetJjMNhbMHFYtvVtqyAymKbS
suiGXbzwNxOXXCTHe now believed Yue Siming’s words—the masked man was indeed a master.FnKyKjKHbkJhQbxVRASxnrgnxbBaDz
FBxVCZsLnwiYmGZThe 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.XxyVmBOmMUcjydbDqvahRhqkEpbulR
AesdUCFCnTREWeTJinbao 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.IJlUnnvrVDrgzKnNEtyyDvRzEVRbEE
JfsjmnLzYwtWLbxOne of Yue Siming’s subordinates shouted, “This is bad! Young Hero Jinbao, hurry and take the young master away!”QrzUINqWwRTrXCHOZrqZdxHBbOxDeZ
KwbKInnTKnnITErJinbao quickly gathered his energy and charged towards Yue Siming, who was locked in a fierce battle.AWTuutBgqMKSzJkKzZqoYYzhQANKCN
krpkRhStmXZfvkHIgnoring everything, he dashed forward, shouting, “Yu Mingjing is drawing some kind of cursed symbol! Stop fighting and get out of here, now!”ShruiSLvOPcukAdrDfwinswhoaPCZH
gyMAMIYRvJMdgcaYue Siming paused for a moment when he saw Jinbao rushing over, worried that he might accidentally hurt him, causing his movements to falter slightly.zaNlcEVRYdtoHNqoqduGvamdLTNfbq
VdLQXMgiwAYvEyLSeizing the opportunity, the masked man delivered a powerful punch to Yue Siming’s chest.EGXZiJyNUgVIRjLlXWZZhHkzEyoHdE
NaIErpPRFgrfKWKYue Siming was sent flying instantly.BPsqGhcrXJZIibKjdZgJifYPPOgHBg
XlYujkQpOyrszCxJinbao hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up, urging, “We need to go, now!”vtBRvfwzxduwuIIrAoLUIFnFnMxWIy
UAcHzlhHCqwYDwQBlood 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.amcDKSFzXIyAOcYiQZqtAZKyDMMyhf
oYWhFViuzPTWfSsFearing another attack from the masked man, Jinbao dragged Yue Siming and began to run.XImQsaPrfJiVfukasuaBzuNwjXTVFo
ThWbAgXNaNgjeTaStrangely, the masked man did not pursue them after knocking down Yue Siming. Instead, he stood still, unmoving.VwnhhTmeWMVhNiQUApZZQvomLcOWnM
jVCpDSxZBEuvmrkThe 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.gxsCYamELzdexxwINvlYFwWtVvoHJM
BIHLbcscxLBbNlcSuddenly, Yue Siming let out a wild scream and collapsed to the ground.FdLDQMUOAipROWGnhkMtXtkmAgTXMY
TvvkbnSapLBBKIU“Doctor! Doctor!” Jinbao anxiously looked at the suddenly crazed Yue Siming, realizing it was the blood parasite within him acting up.KthyukQCNzUMsWefTufNWJJlbVgPCD
ILIrMKNbACgiMxGWith a hoarse voice, Yue Siming shouted, “Little Hu, get out of here, now!”CQyABjXXCKAPVBhYcmojwwRvSLFfwQ
xVtkmxHUllyRSHNWithout hesitation, Jinbao hoisted him onto his back and took off at a sprint.ZMDfCsQdLdsPPshUpKPrnmutJsQcPX
SGQdenPmgLWnpRcSure 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.sDmkJuSfkXpUbtGustsjYopXSISXQQ
HyzEfmkgwBjcQXnIt 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.FvFtUZZogJGjoncqZFEirJrsKcGpCi
JMoaDqwYeoJDFcJBack then, Zhao Cai had warned him numerous times that following Yue Siming wasn’t safe.CUFXVrERlVUbSNUQLaMFClvXXATeYF
jIwGRchGEpMBOFGHe 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.ChJohDXSHJUlVaAiUqFLNHEOJgxFDO
gWxsTlYYBOeTPKUBut now, no matter what, it was too late. Today, either he dies here, or he’ll never hand over his wife to those villains.sKVpoKgEGuOnnDbPwxuuojuEfnYZhh
WrfGluluJLYIrZrUnfortunately, his wife no longer shared his resolve.vgsWZBFFpfKvLUqbSbRpTalJSOUYni
FmJCnthqstWTKqXJinbao 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.pdHkdKnQNxvpXryOdFQCjEMsezeTRX
tvXqIZZkqwtpyIwYue Siming stood up from the ground, his face drenched in sweat, twisted in agony.jYRjjwJRjXDnJJWVOsFyiinYPNFUwf
AXcdAKgFkYTSQLfHe forced a few words out through gritted teeth, “Little Hu, run!”LMgwODXwUxJkTGKpXzrnNFUeysSIoX
qUtneQktXHLXHFmYet, instead of fleeing, he pulled out a handful of silver needles from his robes and flung them at Jinbao.raUxKEbngXEYcrDmcWijwwgLZzpPnB
QizIeqJeFdfyAULBut the needles clearly missed their mark, not a single one hit.PkaXIWcwEMZIWCTZJPXnwPRqbCwzgy
sGnDvXpWkYfNfYIYue Siming suddenly dropped to his knees, letting out a beast-like roar, “Ah—Little Hu! Go! Get out of here!”vBWEArDgVVdoZuNdrUbFfvqZPGcEVx
uWtTAVJIcBIXBaTThe 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.recbAvIfOvOvAMLNgiLiNQtqSnRfDY
ZGxSrqHRAUMpbKtJinbao moved towards him, but Yue Siming jumped up from the ground and attacked.DsAozJuntpqzFOFfEocvTfezwCVySk
uBvHGURNZeqjzlxHowever, 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!”jblAQqJPKyUEreiAbKEoJgnimiQCxW
qEPvpUDBEtUrqVJDetermined, Jinbao swiftly moved behind Yue Siming and, taking advantage of his struggle, delivered a sharp karate chop to the back of his neck.qndJnmXLoNSKIduElSmKTVRNzRjYhe
sVTNaHGvjjFyWnZYue Siming’s body went limp, collapsing into Jinbao’s arms.wrGTwrmuNdYGObpAzOOJdTmNnmdwpE
krgFjZYTcHAUzriJinbao hoisted him onto his back once again.rGwsHnIhcMwqzmRQowprWiFJtGPBdO
ShZwRALArbwEamHHe 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.FrbAnNnZxHaihdHUozHtDrDFdRMWAB
jtdfWAnmmlpaAZSSeeing 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.”gcGxlxjFGpmdDpzQQhApKoMXDrSHTe
jzLeWMCwUaJnYziThe masked man, previously motionless like a statue, immediately sprang to life upon hearing the order, channeling his energy as he pursued the fleeing pair.VFLCFpQzUDNxvKfJEFYxMDoEVfXydN
rVDERrcEEikGClvThe 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.VerppmmSJUDlVPTszKmEIGQeksuBaw
aeRgNUpNsvnrOFcJinbao, with the unconscious Yue Siming on his back, sprinted desperately through the dense forest, his heart filled with despair.sszHFprCQhgKtJsYFLXQJryOnqJtyG
lfVVOwFKVyeMpsWThis 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.cuAMCHfJqWXuxZMjFXCNYryrqlgBbP
yuoUBHWnulGmkJDCarrying 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.aTlbpwEtgnxDztUzPCkwUZunVUkWag
ZQyVFcnDpkTFjIHThe forest was dense, making it impossible to tell direction, and Jinbao, fearing they’d get lost, could only follow the sound of running water.ZWlqGcNJTqIdZNHAiWejDZGDkWwiri
vEtlIeYQYWsuAWqSuddenly, after pushing through layers of trees, the forest opened up before him—to reveal a sheer cliff.CAYhIkoSJQVQFxqJdZtFaahwMEJVeJ

ilCYnbUsMPVCPBnGritting his teeth, Jinbao dropped Yue Siming to the ground, swiftly drew his sword, and, with a loud shout, charged at the masked man.LCwhBbYGhngVrtMKXnIMjSEqbcyQkZ
ScATJqerJdgTkevJinbao 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.WskimbOtlJhKFFvQorYTrYWzkqKXNL
qLJyQGuBOYlApZDThe masked man’s skill was unfathomable. Jinbao felt like a child in his presence, utterly insignificant.mUnxIZcqFfYtadZiRagUpwZvOznjVk
srfGYgHEkUZFdhVThey 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.ygoAjNNLOIxmQZwwFPNxcnUGTvyJjr
OjkVmTnAlRjkAcVThe pain in his stomach was excruciating, making him feel as though his insides were churning. Yet, he stubbornly tried to push himself up.JEswNWybkVUmJzAUdhdgfdFJLBlUgB
twlnxIQWzedYrBqBut 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.”UbhLWrhaBmDuRBIfOZJFRWDSmqBGsi
pceczUpzDfkJVahJinbao stared at him in shock.euntQFcofxdHDZmCwfqDKgbWgexHMA
yJebNuxkgGeNwFaThe masked man’s voice was as cold as ice, completely devoid of emotion.pkfDNUwwwUyfIvSqlHnkLlgEbnAOPd
LzLyNBkrraCsVweHe repeated, “Take him and jump.”niQIPBmsKuWWtMHHskPQzBmTEhPSmP
kkXmZKfdjVWOHIpJinbao 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.SjyoYDYeuHWuPtdXLaZqNlYqiJbNKX
vqWgoChcVEvVMgVWiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jinbao looked at the masked man with suspicion.UGIXZVbmVVLhGYuEwfCBHykvnxZyOc
GztIEMSSEZfnriPThe masked man took a step closer, commanding, “Jump.”VQJENxnWsstiafOyeuyfexPvTpgFro
gdZrPXrcjfRNtGFThere was an undeniable authority in his voice that sent a chill through Jinbao, leaving him secretly unnerved.rdkUrtvZzZIWgOLghRTVJBrtOcSlwg
zovvmGMzbKanFizGritting 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.KWlcsIlKhQpmNcydpPAFBtyHykAxrb
