AwuGhzAQSbaapEtJinbao stared in astonishment at the man. There was something familiar about him—he had definitely seen this man before.MnRZPxasiraBrkcuhVKiNNLAJEVWSw
niYQuDeGFCyXlxNIn 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.”TNgekBYpaniXaGQPWlNitPHCaEwBZP
wFwAIbVdPCNXclbYue Siming suddenly jumped up, moving with lightning speed. His fingers turned into claws as he lunged at Yu Mingjing like a fierce beast.UehkhCHQIItuhjqYyBSuWRQjrqoMKq
EoawHXqBYUWKjsDYue 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.XdmirbfILajuEPkhZGxuXEQdkAYMse
pFOIVQVrFtiSeopHowever, 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.ECJzMYOXlnObtJOkMRyzaLSkqwVRaB
bHqOGjGUlwmJVdDWhen 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.TiFFoVpjhRsVkinHOgEVbpXYUTaDDk
arbRDQkOQoGnfggThe 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.hqYycIxFiMUpgPWXyNqmKchOOigKuL
GyqHsWHEbhBdYBtYue Siming quickly recoiled, then leaped again, flipping to Yu Mingjing’s back, his claws relentless as they aimed for his back.NnpwzYUZKNJxyGCXeaMKVMehxVjCOZ
YwDAhHtaWlrslYBThe man circled behind Yu Mingjing as well, lifting his foot to kick away Yue Siming’s hand, and engaged him in close combat.XNgvOddftRKJIZfVmtQXEjOzCsuIsk
eASArUolRojAgxsJinbao watched the fierce fight, his heart pounding in fear.xMaBTCpiJGaOmWfHjxfideXtOBnObP
aFsXKzadHMQflrmHe now believed Yue Siming’s words—the masked man was indeed a master.zAJuRzNNLmBEwUXZmurZrNNEOfzcTA
wpZKxLwwXzrJpHKThe 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.GXYdyiiHADsZxNzNaPHpfuWYdibDNX
BgNAHMuNpDlxjMGJinbao 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.FUOvyJGYRJRKtdzIuAsOZOPEieInkg
DBzGtegJPdQERQzOne of Yue Siming’s subordinates shouted, “This is bad! Young Hero Jinbao, hurry and take the young master away!”rGEbvkSiqHIGzMKTEEQexWqhqXArUK
tQlrofSvzPrNOVGJinbao quickly gathered his energy and charged towards Yue Siming, who was locked in a fierce battle.eLelHRMTyMwAHMkLQQrDrUHlltzbkV
JMNPzHUlNLTWmwRIgnoring everything, he dashed forward, shouting, “Yu Mingjing is drawing some kind of cursed symbol! Stop fighting and get out of here, now!”DHsqrKAksRlDqOLqiodiWjihyyxQbe
scxgnAazqkpaBzXYue Siming paused for a moment when he saw Jinbao rushing over, worried that he might accidentally hurt him, causing his movements to falter slightly.lthzDJKIgWVWBjcOPTKXyHMePNGAqW
PGrVNJeHcCKWXTQSeizing the opportunity, the masked man delivered a powerful punch to Yue Siming’s chest.zUrEzouPQvHRSWBoofQLQTNeuDqutX
CZocSWQcFiWLYjqYue Siming was sent flying instantly.pqRKDekvdHioLjoWknCYHXwmKdTrwi
wxNobOoOSKAfhOpJinbao hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up, urging, “We need to go, now!”OnjImBsGJASlGDssHYkiQIcEUuLnLr
VxzYJoQPxqrYhtTBlood 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.PXwcGOzCrSadGMOFIfdAjDUVMXrzLk
CyXHOnjfsOENEROFearing another attack from the masked man, Jinbao dragged Yue Siming and began to run.hfDJJpjBZENvyqRFlSnIPVULJzNzIr
exBFAGnzVxsLXfzStrangely, the masked man did not pursue them after knocking down Yue Siming. Instead, he stood still, unmoving.HhuIfsNYMDpiVLStuDTPisSyTICHkK
MIIhPRfLTYOAgLUThe 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.ZfKXswseYhQDhWpSIGYVDrPVMZnSRK
kQsgXsSMnmBtozlSuddenly, Yue Siming let out a wild scream and collapsed to the ground.iFrifzHHMkviGhiXdqCHYLvExNSXZQ
VPAhayKOunFMefa“Doctor! Doctor!” Jinbao anxiously looked at the suddenly crazed Yue Siming, realizing it was the blood parasite within him acting up.sHaEejlpHvOquFAkRuyuIYRyHblCMU
rvLAUKgBqGpIPVVWith a hoarse voice, Yue Siming shouted, “Little Hu, get out of here, now!”qekIYDUrGYUCkvUGNpvuroflzthGyM
wubOxoydhcmfnbKWithout hesitation, Jinbao hoisted him onto his back and took off at a sprint.EfJfQWzdqRryUfXynNkKEBTKFhquxb
ZFdxLGpjBCroYzaSure 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.wPADCRrpbeTQBljyrLqlnuxIXGubwA
nBPYpeCNHOiBBCPIt 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.iIrWMJZfjCFARqWDmwamvfazjBtiNq
MsYopMiyiZmxMuzBack then, Zhao Cai had warned him numerous times that following Yue Siming wasn’t safe.dIUfHZINaqAGGhGHizlMBJiItxsFJa
NxZKMlTlkUOAuHpHe 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.lvFKEnSVUTzoaUKpVxGZAlbIdgjLII
gzBsDMZoDrLLnFvBut now, no matter what, it was too late. Today, either he dies here, or he’ll never hand over his wife to those villains.CTpBWNSzPWIKuaWnFsrpHByOlRXZBO
ChRjmKLKeLZelgIUnfortunately, his wife no longer shared his resolve.zgykelcnIetUlaFnpNJZjkxGbnXxZY
qQBEQJASaLogXlhJinbao 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.MovKFCewQzhAVygmwmwDbbGhNgybLW
SqLoMalgJnUtJPIYue Siming stood up from the ground, his face drenched in sweat, twisted in agony.DppHaoJevcbdQABsnaWIZIBXQyqRob
EAjBLklvxtnueHxHe forced a few words out through gritted teeth, “Little Hu, run!”MvmRBwGOyfooNjDrwsjltXMtCXKYli
KuQNIHhnuhmrHxNYet, instead of fleeing, he pulled out a handful of silver needles from his robes and flung them at Jinbao.ApQxoVWxImkMAFbUGZrrDSCftNjfMs
aMuKqfEsxWIuOCOBut the needles clearly missed their mark, not a single one hit.HEPyQFSRWXFtWkHISNKqRrTBRjFSLr
ICIrLgAPqsUqZfWYue Siming suddenly dropped to his knees, letting out a beast-like roar, “Ah—Little Hu! Go! Get out of here!”rDcdzQqOirAKLRKZwYacxaLSUKVrfI
QbKyDAaRuoNHPPUThe 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.ZjfRQKqWgauTNwOpsaMArPhxnLQQlm
tgKBRWbIwJilNLbJinbao moved towards him, but Yue Siming jumped up from the ground and attacked.YDdDdlCcADuLLoRyUtAvyrTgZiutbE
jPCTlFSVVSXlrIGHowever, 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!”IpnRbohlmKghPdePNTrejqKkCXMaEv
PeeTgbiFInlAsRmDetermined, Jinbao swiftly moved behind Yue Siming and, taking advantage of his struggle, delivered a sharp karate chop to the back of his neck.xtatkYSmqrOZfezEzqsyuvvzLTNnVL
FbgLKlLawXUXYljYue Siming’s body went limp, collapsing into Jinbao’s arms.pqrmiyLQfIhFbJnrNprZburpiOuAVE
lRjfhCRwCabNePEJinbao hoisted him onto his back once again.jhshxNJlRIGMNxxKiJzkXXMAKyQpXB
WRxQhxDFoLQuvIzHe 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.sQNTqRZacolcoXkngPdaxRYyyGmNnU
mNsVtiVSIaCzvWeSeeing 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.”UHpsxiSBPRTRldQxnTyZEbdszZrbQI
mzdIQNmKbAqkoXNThe masked man, previously motionless like a statue, immediately sprang to life upon hearing the order, channeling his energy as he pursued the fleeing pair.hRBioXTqlxWESTHbqOwvwVSXirMICq
vQpxxfEByaBkBCyThe 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.OBpxZRNJPvDWqHLOocDSiciCTDRrLX
hESEOmzdNCYKTzgJinbao, with the unconscious Yue Siming on his back, sprinted desperately through the dense forest, his heart filled with despair.ELJDVXQsrDAhtowGpfdjagkMldvpgT
tOYegcIvlfiLbajThis 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.kRNZcVpyNlCIwCSlyMOVoDgFQOWyBx
djzvzBxHUIsnHFUCarrying 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.alINjIfGBKKluyPPHSNXMKkPSubfrm
DuHIeMwOSodvRpPThe forest was dense, making it impossible to tell direction, and Jinbao, fearing they’d get lost, could only follow the sound of running water.qZitnFbNQJEAcDEzvNhwCENzjMuYRz
agBqhCUOQncYVVKSuddenly, after pushing through layers of trees, the forest opened up before him—to reveal a sheer cliff.bORzhPlypJQIyrfinbKUgJvPWmjaSP
lVRFkPkqSKdsGrgJinbao’s face paled as he turned back, only to see that the masked man had already closed in with a few agile leaps.nXOWvlABpjnWoYlBxVjRdxNCQzsyyx

obSirbEHuvFjkBSGritting his teeth, Jinbao dropped Yue Siming to the ground, swiftly drew his sword, and, with a loud shout, charged at the masked man.jBTeXtAlalMijndkWKKwmSSJxfTMwt
yPpYIOMQniHptKLJinbao 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.xyQCFIGsIegykQUHlwERDFNSqNnRHc
gZPimKofjLbtacmThe masked man’s skill was unfathomable. Jinbao felt like a child in his presence, utterly insignificant.StJjQdZYwgTsmQUbuzkQmltSyfXpWT
xtrWnTZWhIOcbbGThey 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.DgwaDQgRmWXLJIDesundtWhuuslGDn
zuBBHGltaACPvTDThe pain in his stomach was excruciating, making him feel as though his insides were churning. Yet, he stubbornly tried to push himself up.uFRMNDzKDmNDaxJbpqykYorgVfRdHU
ZzpOTccjWbvNScyBut 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.”gvzpotalgIfHrDPtsocwDYmjBuyZbh
afRoWiGuZowqKRdJinbao stared at him in shock.bPgkBQCAIeQDnDTFczChXaeGqlxJkZ
wJlGbCDqwAZKZzUThe masked man’s voice was as cold as ice, completely devoid of emotion.WLoeONMeFSRjgOKNKLMHbLIzYIJBgg
fbOkbKPjLSOjOMmHe repeated, “Take him and jump.”DvkRJVBLYLDWDfVVIwnfEFyhQcaXCT
AXWbBTGkPTMmnMhJinbao 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.VMpwWvjvtRfxRklOWfHHsyqYwcsiIb
shDIXquBUkqsSVNWiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jinbao looked at the masked man with suspicion.omWIFusjgfRdtZXTeqoiyFVboSrFRL
WZYbVoCunNXdRRIThe masked man took a step closer, commanding, “Jump.”CMSuhgvzNXiDCLqpnsoiUVmteSHKiw
MOnzybFWbfstzwrThere was an undeniable authority in his voice that sent a chill through Jinbao, leaving him secretly unnerved.vhiuLohGnjTSWyiKSCaWGyfpnJEVLD
GyxgRyAmqKnfekLGritting 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.pZHlsxjLcDTiPLhngJNcXnoTKgcNcE
