Chapter 47 (2/2)
He Yiming quickly left the courtyard with the red box. However, he heard a furious roar followed by a strong Internal Energy piercing the air and coming towards him.
With just a glance, he recognized this man. This was precisely the number one expert in Xu family’s second generation whose Internal Energy had already attained the peak of the eighth layer, Xu s.h.i.+ne.
However, at this moment, from his wretched appearance, anyone could tell that upon hearing the commotion here, he must have thought about his Lord Master and the thousand-year blood ginseng. Thus, he rushed over here without thinking about his appearance.
He Yiming inwardly cursed at his bad luck. If the former had come just a moment late, he would have escaped.
While Facing a strike from a eighth layer expert even He Yiming couldn’t be careless in the slightest. However, as soon as he lifted his palm, his mind was immediately struck by a thought of pa.s.sing the impending calamity onto someone else.
The Blazing technique began to operate in his body and instantly reached the realm of the ninth layer.
He Yiming lifted his right palm. Both of his palms had already turned completely scarlet as if they had been painted by a red, seeming extremely vicious.
At the same time, his palms began to emit an intensely scorching heat wave. This represented the peak of this technique. Only after one completely grasped this technique’s essence could such an exhibition be accomplished.
For an instant, Cheng s.h.i.+ne’s face became appalled. As the number one member of the Cheng family’s second member, he only needed a glance to tell the origin of this technique. Moreover, he also determined that the strength behind this palm was not something he could handle.
However, this moment, he resembled a man riding a tiger; dismounting means death. He didn’t have the option to retreat.
A loud explosion.
He Yiming’s body faintly shook at its original position before he dashed ahead like an arrow.
Cheng s.h.i.+ne flew backward. After knocking over two small trees and flying through the rare herbs and plants in the garden, he severely collided with a courtyard’s thick wall.
However, as he watched the grey-clothed figure, he didn’t chase after the latter. Instead, he hurriedly retreated and let out a breath of relief. After this exchange, not to mention he had received an Internal Energy, even if he had been as good as before, he wouldn’t have the courage to chase.
He inhaled a few breaths, pacifying the burning sensation in his body before he gnashed his teeth and aroused his Internal Energy, forcing down his injuries. He quickly went to the Inner courtyard. As soon as he entered, his eyes immediately turned scarlet. However, it seemed far more vicious than He Yiming’s palms a moment ago.
Suddenly, he turned. He didn’t rush to his father. Instead, as if lightning, he arrived in front of those four big grey-clothed men who seemed to have gained an advantage. In front of an eighth-layer expert, the four fifth-layer cultivators had no way to fight back. They were sent flying in a single exchange along with their weapons.
They spurted blood in mid-air and died there itself.
Subsequently, Cheng s.h.i.+ne’s figure flickered, and he arrived before the wall. Trying his hardest, he managed to pull out the Lord Master’s staff. After accomplis.h.i.+ng all this, his body faintly shook. Just now, the strength he had to exert in order to pull out the staff was extraordinarily high. He almost felt like no longer being able to suppress his Internal injuries.
The leader coldly snorted and put his blade back. Slightly exerting his feet, he swiftly escaped. He came to the Cheng Residence in order to seize their treasure, not to annihilate the entire family. Since his underling had already left with the treasure, he would naturally not continue to engage here.
This change came as a surprise to the Cheng Lord Master. His vision followed the leader for a long time. His vision contained extreme hate but his body remained firmly planted on the ground. He had no intention of chasing.
A loud whistling sound echoed in the Cheng Residence. Those pillaging and murdering grey-clothed men everywhere, upon hearing this whistle, whistled back in a chorus and retreated simultaneously.
The entire Cheng Residence reeked of blood. After being completely prepared beforehand and catching the opponent unprepared, obtaining such a result was not strange at all. The most important point was that these men seemed extremely familiar with such fighting tactics. As soon as the leader commanded, anyone who could still move, regardless of whatever he was doing, left without the slightest hesitation.
On the other hand, Cheng family’s people were feeling anxious. Since these fiends had decided to leave on their own, naturally no one dared to chase.
They didn’t stay in the county town. Instead, they gathered at the town’s west gate. After all of them a.s.sembled, they stormed the west gate and escaped.
With a ninth-expert as the leader, taking control of an insignificant and defenseless city gate was as easy as lifting one’s hands.
They left the town through the west gate and went deep into the mountains.
Among the fifty plus men, eleven died in the battle. However, these were the men who licked blood from their blades. Although faces of some seemed heavy, no one said anything. They already knew this result before they started.
After a.s.sembling all the men, the leader swept his glance. Suddenly, his complexion changed. It was becoming increasingly ugly with every pa.s.sing moment.
The two men standing beside him puzzledly asked, “Quidui, what happened?”
The leader said with an ashen complexion, “Sixth seized the case, but he is not here.”
Complete silence. If the sixth truly escaped with the case, the only thing left for him was a never-ending chase and ultimately, death.
After a while, a ferocious expression flickered in the leader’s eyes as his mouth opened and two words managed to escape through his teeth, “Find him…..”
