EwaaERpAnIRgnreJinbao stared in astonishment at the man. There was something familiar about him—he had definitely seen this man before.PJWRRPLPusCYrlNgCUhhfdausBDOUo
IwIcfcGlLvjsKhbIn 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.”NHJzZrEUGqeZZccCcsdYbQUfgtvPdQ
rDVIoCOPQypnoDDYue Siming suddenly jumped up, moving with lightning speed. His fingers turned into claws as he lunged at Yu Mingjing like a fierce beast.oTRdheuXScrpyyqioVGtOHClpgbaoK
SRcjGVpWfJRBaotYue 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.kcwyoPRsoDbMBSjgbpmoNHCRgrrBAz
pltZjzBqIJnXDKcHowever, 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.LznRKXUJgFiGVKtNJDMCmhBXGQqHQv
SpwRFJpAHXdmpWBWhen 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.ybYmGvfGrhKLwXqyQgVzyvbffGQKoH
uILddOUiYkFPMYwThe 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.bufTZEwkOFAEBUfIWxPyDRcopraORd
BvnLDXofDQqKepGYue Siming quickly recoiled, then leaped again, flipping to Yu Mingjing’s back, his claws relentless as they aimed for his back.PzZBJzbjTZcDlapXWHlhbGEYgIELwq
vkBcbKfqibPFAXLThe man circled behind Yu Mingjing as well, lifting his foot to kick away Yue Siming’s hand, and engaged him in close combat.USSLBKpqrqXCqneTMcLmSTPQvLzixp
YBZwBXdRbnXNrmVJinbao watched the fierce fight, his heart pounding in fear.CnFDieIQHYIManZYVwLidfuTqnfCnh
vTzZBNAFCGfeNmMHe now believed Yue Siming’s words—the masked man was indeed a master.grrlaDpqcODWYzqPziBGAfmTesLMec
wfRibCVAhlrlzSZThe 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.IsSGwykjlbyotgsTlvLPRUoPwnWAEA
lHrqesrCGldqkVSJinbao 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.DplHXDAsAaKFdrecxUUzGIjeHHwuiI
JIpBsbotKsLkKoKOne of Yue Siming’s subordinates shouted, “This is bad! Young Hero Jinbao, hurry and take the young master away!”pjjBfvOrnQzRZdjjfwtKkUIpOnRkkK
rVnbSsabMiiWomaJinbao quickly gathered his energy and charged towards Yue Siming, who was locked in a fierce battle.WkPNlCJIgmlJwKgSJrBaXSrqOIksYe
XcdVKzufbZmGrDdIgnoring everything, he dashed forward, shouting, “Yu Mingjing is drawing some kind of cursed symbol! Stop fighting and get out of here, now!”pPEsfqZwnVbPVykPYqFVyRoHasfwYL
yCrqpLgRHqDfYbKYue Siming paused for a moment when he saw Jinbao rushing over, worried that he might accidentally hurt him, causing his movements to falter slightly.JzAJNBDkFByJPsxkWYAJTutZutlBWj
jHvmQILgsKEuhEsSeizing the opportunity, the masked man delivered a powerful punch to Yue Siming’s chest.HNjyXPOtHuOFjtCkJpfQXeEofCWdnV
kFNIlElZgvrHZDoYue Siming was sent flying instantly.KPQxQiRbvZtkzmhUdPtiSDUMRUUUmd
pZTuPZBlOGtOVcQJinbao hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up, urging, “We need to go, now!”KCDVCplSIKVcgunCooshZJwUbleTho
gvcIEIdnFPXwFcSBlood 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.RpjuWSCeYtyecPkQKWWHdCTkrqWVJK
KaYTgFyAXzlZoOkFearing another attack from the masked man, Jinbao dragged Yue Siming and began to run.ORQrRdXuAZvwFqxPzPkxzcnUEAvaAI
LSyYxdvXFbaQBbJStrangely, the masked man did not pursue them after knocking down Yue Siming. Instead, he stood still, unmoving.wQzXyJcSUBikoDHyXJJfIyQqOwTYih
XxxlyFWohmDatgJThe 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.dUksrbELGRlgBNSSAswnNQUAYvonpp
XgsuCYNRyCTeZrPSuddenly, Yue Siming let out a wild scream and collapsed to the ground.OlVmPmDmMyiTtMmVrwcuaYNpvAOEEb
iemlXTjkcYqXxpQ“Doctor! Doctor!” Jinbao anxiously looked at the suddenly crazed Yue Siming, realizing it was the blood parasite within him acting up.luheKLmcZximIEBxJOeMxfkPCoryau
jufOXmzsurQXdbkWith a hoarse voice, Yue Siming shouted, “Little Hu, get out of here, now!”lBGbngYqjsRlRqJqsIfDfLExRraAxn
TMRoLlOEXjTVQygWithout hesitation, Jinbao hoisted him onto his back and took off at a sprint.ckSCxsupgBSOkahbInkUIPveccOUWN
ypyQphdlDJUiHoZSure 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.dMdxnuDDcQZwTIKCZilKIGPgmnYzhl
ldqKOJcWJCUvQXrIt 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.VNVieTYasbwqXNphuxPiLFdeUtVKFc
OpDerQOrIpBBrCcBack then, Zhao Cai had warned him numerous times that following Yue Siming wasn’t safe.irFeWaathmPzOLxsrkzNfLjQWOIZyo
VUMfHzZxouNHQQiHe 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.NRFZaJlbdYIVkgjFjpoCMvbDBJQbEX
SFxTnOYznpLCyeCBut now, no matter what, it was too late. Today, either he dies here, or he’ll never hand over his wife to those villains.XodkpuymsKcxEJgmYBuWHPpvDIADQl
CxWbCoicDedQREGUnfortunately, his wife no longer shared his resolve.YBgFxydbgGgnJkILZRPSdhmDOARjja
MfTiFDXnElOatotJinbao 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.tTrMtujmVERwwtdwpMnTBmsnyqnomI
MkQglhGiOwGKREbYue Siming stood up from the ground, his face drenched in sweat, twisted in agony.RvcVpIlFCJLDZFXnszTuWeqQXqZloI
GcYvihganZbNFrpHe forced a few words out through gritted teeth, “Little Hu, run!”gGtKqtkgYCiXVUNRBTvxbAKpVqkfxi
sfkCeQJtMQGFWRvYet, instead of fleeing, he pulled out a handful of silver needles from his robes and flung them at Jinbao.HJgpzlQCwjhqZbjRXPttiPCuDYJGfw
JQCgWUTMKFfQJrJBut the needles clearly missed their mark, not a single one hit.WDipXngiLQprOXeUYotWdLuVlVamgf
OAGoGnKuGEVxhUUYue Siming suddenly dropped to his knees, letting out a beast-like roar, “Ah—Little Hu! Go! Get out of here!”lHWahAaxvApJeDVYWDyeUqLGgJhahE
jGoSkKOTezBCQTgThe 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.sOWMBXzCvAeLNVmpEjudJEEKVgCngQ
TqEzeMfruAnJoSPJinbao moved towards him, but Yue Siming jumped up from the ground and attacked.ALMMldiKOnKmkKUiIRbzGfuwsniqDR
tGNNmXWxIZdlHgTHowever, 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!”IXsgLVZjKtpabpTxraGUlqZtVcNQOT
HyHLhCdcWWvAYWODetermined, Jinbao swiftly moved behind Yue Siming and, taking advantage of his struggle, delivered a sharp karate chop to the back of his neck.nLwVzkqgjhBdQAJcgjnzXNBmOnukTB
wxBvjSrKTboxTxhYue Siming’s body went limp, collapsing into Jinbao’s arms.xrUKgfUoUOyzeDmTLHAgnAJzUZRHFs
KMIGUkqCXtisBFqJinbao hoisted him onto his back once again.icACUwztRJptvkgMSjBGGiXmkkBvEF
ckzzZwNseOGvqTNHe 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.npFXBPLOPURsmVLvgkauGaEyIhudng
YZiEpGvYunxDiiJSeeing 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.”iOOuxGssgPKcwksGcoyyTTmIcpnpqF
ulfTUJYSqDDlxGMThe masked man, previously motionless like a statue, immediately sprang to life upon hearing the order, channeling his energy as he pursued the fleeing pair.IWfVFbREVzmuexdomFzuHrHzWjzabk
mAjoBjkfMxpbyzfThe 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.puwYDJrdPSmoIHpyJzwGNRLiuOFOAb
FwTEqrccHnhJXRfJinbao, with the unconscious Yue Siming on his back, sprinted desperately through the dense forest, his heart filled with despair.WXmsNFwDVWOgfOzZyhNZTEYIsSEruy
AYazyxokNIBdJqPThis 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.cfMufgiNJeHvuchqnYoiRwYQLwkzkx
veEKtWroyCQrxriCarrying 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.xKwEiaOJZLwaAZQDEfqWDwQRuHVYpB
IPSonUFwJJFxKEvThe forest was dense, making it impossible to tell direction, and Jinbao, fearing they’d get lost, could only follow the sound of running water.FejwIldOVaAIhaTZXCobAPmKvKNhuv
oRpLgbjApchmonQSuddenly, after pushing through layers of trees, the forest opened up before him—to reveal a sheer cliff.mEVXdgqsYlzOiLCBhGGyMiKuNwOOur
QToorEXZPyjUtZIJinbao’s face paled as he turned back, only to see that the masked man had already closed in with a few agile leaps.SriHHhlGJsieFiBtvjBeynZDhoxXpb

izvTMnDjjCzLRsGGritting his teeth, Jinbao dropped Yue Siming to the ground, swiftly drew his sword, and, with a loud shout, charged at the masked man.mYXDNuWCEDtHKFRZaGIqSKockAfiNa
rSnrpaHZEkuNMtpJinbao 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.sDXMdqhRdibSexWmoYwOlGJqdBUKyp
phbiKkcArTGNYVRThe masked man’s skill was unfathomable. Jinbao felt like a child in his presence, utterly insignificant.qmtgVTqxGvyBUQEKYEVbgNQHaHvJqu
eCikXhCSSICmPTxThey 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.NAziNutycevPczmSbAFrtQykpgTjvD
lIOJTqGzQOXCtoaThe pain in his stomach was excruciating, making him feel as though his insides were churning. Yet, he stubbornly tried to push himself up.LQRTumzxsWseFDViHrsrdAsaxKtENo
liznKoLncvooBHzBut 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.”wWkpGgXchjquejBQNPppOmLwFbnXwX
gRElPLGSeeLouNnJinbao stared at him in shock.zqDWJObgsiVqtxEhgXgVvVbbJHhwQS
vFJaPLBGOGQNDomThe masked man’s voice was as cold as ice, completely devoid of emotion.IDWGRzTgFIUVDwFrtAXvaJRcNOpDxk
DspQYrKWsReUukVHe repeated, “Take him and jump.”alLExzpcabyoZesCWMkddWxkZftMlP
SpTlkOKHIXRxkCsJinbao 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.LntLRcNdNMyvaCLTiEdLbYLCljQdDC
LVFQxglkfizMzfaWiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jinbao looked at the masked man with suspicion.VTiVacEgZDyYYradmvhIzgJDlxEdfe
snVqVDWSEfXDNSiThe masked man took a step closer, commanding, “Jump.”dmOlcmtYfRwTmKTgMxhiPTvpkYKXrq
BgeQtkcdbepwToJThere was an undeniable authority in his voice that sent a chill through Jinbao, leaving him secretly unnerved.uNRAhPAUolgDieQPZsFtmSNOCAFgcH
MyZcQNHSasOSypsGritting 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.mTVqaWfWhjYpKzxyJoQuHzBQHGCQCo
