OPHMLZHvwHHrvmqJinbao stared in astonishment at the man. There was something familiar about him—he had definitely seen this man before.EqswssEYTsDGccmjVPvMheqVNhGVKq
CSQxtxzPeEnMeaoIn 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.”QCISEtoLocKlTTAsZXtpFrDIGLUSWb
SHucdLUKhaIYwehYue Siming suddenly jumped up, moving with lightning speed. His fingers turned into claws as he lunged at Yu Mingjing like a fierce beast.lDlVdHgmkYyMyEIdhOnxJemiLwlamR
ehJnIqLHChVaFSUYue 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.MHexYIeonSVQxikRFepNyEjOmDvSZk
xQQTPisWQtlOFLjHowever, 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.gORmlhFmvHkYumoyaBXudSZHGKorCp
DSiTYxVYdJGMJRlWhen 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.BBgzQmhzVRottkItsyRLUQBJYICYoL
NwWuEEIAPnIINDBThe 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.NBgcvFcWRMqUAyZItEjNsOZsCZoABd
oQptugbnvCaYOCTYue Siming quickly recoiled, then leaped again, flipping to Yu Mingjing’s back, his claws relentless as they aimed for his back.JdPEiELLuifRkduGalewOuNBLKCCnD
yalguvnBvZmSOcWThe man circled behind Yu Mingjing as well, lifting his foot to kick away Yue Siming’s hand, and engaged him in close combat.KgMmwcsmVdMkDeHEeyGNBwerhdevqO
ngcBuoBamACHoSVJinbao watched the fierce fight, his heart pounding in fear.AWkMftksnhgaYTAcfTiunkBDArFfXW
ColkaRqytloLPyMHe now believed Yue Siming’s words—the masked man was indeed a master.HlzsPdyfhTSPLXlqkJJniXgTZJMFZV
GwdmJYrcWNtKrGpThe 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.OWuwlqDGDGUycXxNKrAkQvITDjKYLn
GkSYYdjlMkkCLYQJinbao 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.kEOhtIgKfWmATpINRdxPQNSkVbnjEF
wsKWDKJwnOFuzpOOne of Yue Siming’s subordinates shouted, “This is bad! Young Hero Jinbao, hurry and take the young master away!”zMwIwCNmPwAjhfufbecuvUouPocqQD
XAHJdTdwAvxoXFAJinbao quickly gathered his energy and charged towards Yue Siming, who was locked in a fierce battle.GZEsYAbkEZqvukXgpdqrIpZoKkTrpJ
rIqAanyPRMkrNgcIgnoring everything, he dashed forward, shouting, “Yu Mingjing is drawing some kind of cursed symbol! Stop fighting and get out of here, now!”XvneEDQYPSNqfAtOlOCDiuGokbVipW
lECpxvqrMWkdlwkYue Siming paused for a moment when he saw Jinbao rushing over, worried that he might accidentally hurt him, causing his movements to falter slightly.KsMGqsOTqCGGvfFBAzXjvzsalYCQZx
MddGryewBcvGFEeSeizing the opportunity, the masked man delivered a powerful punch to Yue Siming’s chest.QyzlNmDoWZFyCORdZvPeRfBGArjEFE
VyMtLUwrjfXtWkeYue Siming was sent flying instantly.gtiXbDdbriYwiJobuYuZeSKwnGbNHf
AmIJklazHdJFBXjJinbao hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up, urging, “We need to go, now!”rMDNzXHWlPUYKIoRVikCUMMODIGgOC
ebaZRMfKrsuvNWTBlood 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.OaBOGMOEMNFnjyGUZtTurnqnZWPlOm
YDLCNJOnlilPrMaFearing another attack from the masked man, Jinbao dragged Yue Siming and began to run.ztkbUdSIDLraMEtfqBVlwmDiCWzhqS
PsBgMuHliHnTotyStrangely, the masked man did not pursue them after knocking down Yue Siming. Instead, he stood still, unmoving.aPphxODfnlbWkpeUIBsFloNcHfzJdw
hdIfvCkIBFeFDrPThe 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.rQeozYHLRHycgCzGJwMnuNGCbmEFFZ
zkBRspKUURtPKUnSuddenly, Yue Siming let out a wild scream and collapsed to the ground.OvKsFgqtUqdrPebZdBToeDebdgbPRA
TOlTsAsAypcwhGo“Doctor! Doctor!” Jinbao anxiously looked at the suddenly crazed Yue Siming, realizing it was the blood parasite within him acting up.dhMCiWSLxYBCekuStEQaFGzcvYIlIS
UNWHtWydMbfneupWith a hoarse voice, Yue Siming shouted, “Little Hu, get out of here, now!”pSjOQbpsDxXycxXjTTQvlBSRyiYPbW
yMszxbEIYaigjkrWithout hesitation, Jinbao hoisted him onto his back and took off at a sprint.cPprjSqiHxCDKGtUCQxfqunUaFYfHI
KbNtUpItgpBKXbzSure 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.RYDrTiVhrRyMCaFUqXoaAQQRGjBxKU
TfQcOeBibPdhyPdIt 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.PmThkBxXcDnaWFlhgXwKSAjrUqqyGq
tSOjewMutdvtyAwBack then, Zhao Cai had warned him numerous times that following Yue Siming wasn’t safe.fDPPgdUvgQPnHIIJlUgysyugPAXSSN
GVsvFNpfBKOjlBEHe 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.BhPImqZgrjrAloHaRrHfoNMUdWElNF
UyPuKsHXfwAwYlxBut now, no matter what, it was too late. Today, either he dies here, or he’ll never hand over his wife to those villains.gEVnURLIsaoFRHxCtHliirmafCduJi
fLkAWHZprdgDJWPUnfortunately, his wife no longer shared his resolve.VHBOFzcFOvidixPNXyRaZhkkPlndhW
zIwEYqbJChFkszlJinbao 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.afbzyqYdGHThCRpflMgfWQObbuVOYl
siWziTflBhXPggRYue Siming stood up from the ground, his face drenched in sweat, twisted in agony.SRUlJugJXLqKWKIjDMuyFSFDhzeRuH
VhvjRaOXnCDLWYTHe forced a few words out through gritted teeth, “Little Hu, run!”byRyNWYAOmeKylfBvrVzjBRtvHYqMs
bDXZEtOGCvXQseSYet, instead of fleeing, he pulled out a handful of silver needles from his robes and flung them at Jinbao.ponSOrRVLCxWkjrAwQOJhMkwHvQazO
XTlSumeFcYsBlXnBut the needles clearly missed their mark, not a single one hit.VNaNxQzNVIyoPUIixidmRuwKetlbLe
kGqScKHOQYviNjiYue Siming suddenly dropped to his knees, letting out a beast-like roar, “Ah—Little Hu! Go! Get out of here!”KeTDOJYfdMVWBrfVdZNdbtHGCHDLGG
LOgMbTaiqqXXgVPThe 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.wDmJOuVUzbADyzgFgvRcTJARTCriwd
ZOjPjDwNeMLTbOIJinbao moved towards him, but Yue Siming jumped up from the ground and attacked.BeuwBEgbJGWJAQZROROMtqmmSSCxst
iKPUTjbwFhEarCCHowever, 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!”OVjjUhiBxrQvavcZzgzKADCsOivUbU
RfzqActcUHRDXsZDetermined, Jinbao swiftly moved behind Yue Siming and, taking advantage of his struggle, delivered a sharp karate chop to the back of his neck.gLhTKfaPMsAxyeokghvAiurOfeOlDc
OPetBwErjgBUtLlYue Siming’s body went limp, collapsing into Jinbao’s arms.VckZUSaxQCjNEGYZegfDJAhAtXXFfr
NaYtNpcQBaUBNKuJinbao hoisted him onto his back once again.RuTmTsBoveWiGiODqXLDMJgmksrGBp
ixubIvMYHCVUrheHe 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.VcToUXkArCEXJuSVxzIBRIfwqCwVql
OQpwccKdGQCriCDSeeing 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.”UPFPJsRiivnzxZzUhoblUiNDdJYWvt
wNFLOWUlyQTJnwTThe masked man, previously motionless like a statue, immediately sprang to life upon hearing the order, channeling his energy as he pursued the fleeing pair.iQzsYNemsNsOBDBeEXclGrKHCGKznV
BXocnJhWClXPeeeThe 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.sMSVfbeSsCYhXYVRjmGcQDYNZzDvfD
JbVwFnBeDxVshijJinbao, with the unconscious Yue Siming on his back, sprinted desperately through the dense forest, his heart filled with despair.oumvtpQZKxAktzpbMtTBpbtHNFwKOg
nqYokckVYwISJMcThis 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.rKWrEkSLTIbSLiEGNTcBlPstWzrKaK
sHzjuCtoOiieZSxCarrying 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.sFvuUqqzlVLEdrWzXdmaOdBoxiNfcb
vUobIcUGvxmbYTzThe forest was dense, making it impossible to tell direction, and Jinbao, fearing they’d get lost, could only follow the sound of running water.nllJoNLxIrouLWhFoffwOqwGTSKPdm
RhRbqWGdcDVMiJaSuddenly, after pushing through layers of trees, the forest opened up before him—to reveal a sheer cliff.UjamsUluUrLdVTWNDLUEWFEKluRmIF
RQMDhmTZAusZiEaJinbao’s face paled as he turned back, only to see that the masked man had already closed in with a few agile leaps.SnDZzufOvSfwGlaTveGjSaKOBmaThw
RJBzVDEyIagnRWbIs this really the end for us?WBAMWIaueqPlcTJTczeeYzhFWCYLcj
ECtBfxixeJFNrfPGritting his teeth, Jinbao dropped Yue Siming to the ground, swiftly drew his sword, and, with a loud shout, charged at the masked man.ydrtilsVzyYlmEPNfvGJPYdCaYWFpA
DbaUqxndYnqOLTcJinbao 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.sVlYjMfrNEoCnMFypOvGZYCVvCYgOW
MFUYiIipEgAlrbYThe masked man’s skill was unfathomable. Jinbao felt like a child in his presence, utterly insignificant.VsFrKmqzeQNdcVvYYwfuDzZEjRiUSJ
RZzzdpbMeVePdJjThey 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.bMtEFkRmdtgkOWUVJrzfsACzHezKJS
mpQNjwowRWVgTunThe pain in his stomach was excruciating, making him feel as though his insides were churning. Yet, he stubbornly tried to push himself up.vdNSeNXwTBhyCBIyYBNivFcADYKfXF
JbPgJBqEAQonlSbBut 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.”cQRyPuKNhfXCySCExXtvBtIWbgGnXa
tqwuttOcrZjmglvJinbao stared at him in shock.KMJFZwvfATEPeFMDCJyuFrnPjtoknW
QUKIpuocSCpNgcqThe masked man’s voice was as cold as ice, completely devoid of emotion.fZcISLuzNqCtdelBuwYRWVOpDGEpyj
JaQRNCPXWGWADgVHe repeated, “Take him and jump.”olTWYMhOPAwVmOSujVhxtJHHWIqWHJ
vXscQvpolnCbPvQJinbao 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.kBcBVsAswMKIvVopURXcNzjcYhghTa
IBhjUvkeSPIzmPWWiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jinbao looked at the masked man with suspicion.OGdHiwtDERIwDiTxymfsAiNXvKUobm
GPTDeBrApCehkmhThe masked man took a step closer, commanding, “Jump.”mPvsGayWCynXlhFYTyFpDVgoeMNhQS
zdvkDMyDHGbPofdThere was an undeniable authority in his voice that sent a chill through Jinbao, leaving him secretly unnerved.MTrnEcUXCNxfLbSyjIXvMMlsorsmQm
HTLirNrVKFJfjszGritting 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.kOeYodRgDdPwtCKoCEUBKTmyXdpzkT
