Chapter 113 – Bai Jiang (1/2)
A head flew off abruptly, and it caused the woman and the remaining black robed man to be stunned. After a short while, the woman recovered from her shock and glanced deeply at Yang Ye. She felt that she’d still underestimated this man. Because the speed of this sword strike was something that even numerous First Heaven Realm experts were unable to attain!
The black robed man that remained had recovered from his shock as well, and then he gazed at Yang Ye with terror. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the two of them had offended someone they couldn’t afford to offend.
The two of them had frequently robbed and plundered others in this area, and they naturally selected targets with weak strengths and had come to the Shang Dynasty Ruins for the first time.
There was no doubt that Yang Ye and the woman conformed to their criterion, but reality….
After glancing at Yang Ye with terror, the black robed man didn’t hesitate at all to turn around and flee.
Fight Yang Ye? What a joke! He wasn’t even able to discern how the young man before him had struck just now! So how the heck would he fight the young man? Presently, all he wanted was to grow two more legs and run faster.
Right at the instant that the man turned around, a sword light flashed. The black robed man seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes opened wide. “Save….”
His cry stopped abruptly as a golden strand of sword qi pierced through his chest, and it instantly destroyed the vitality within him.
Yang Ye sheathed his sword, and then he glanced at a stone house on the right and said in a cold voice, “Are you still not going to show yourself?”
Actually, he knew that they were being followed since a long time ago, and these two black robed men were merely two p.a.w.ns that this person had sent to probe Yang Ye and the woman. This person had concealed himself very well, but with the little fellow present by his side, that concealment was merely a joke before him.
When she heard Yang Ye, the woman glanced at Yang Ye with a curious gaze. She was naturally aware that someone was hiding in the surroundings, but she was very curious about how this man had noticed that person as well. Because Yang Ye was merely at the Mortal Realm!
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Ye finished speaking, a young man around the age of 20 walked out from the corner of that house. The young man glanced at the corpses of the two black robed men on the ground, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes. After that, he turned around to look at Yang Ye and the woman, and a wisp of an unusual expression flashed in the depths of his eyes when he looked at the woman.
His gaze stopped briefly on the woman before he looked at Yang Ye and said in a cold voice, “Your sword is really swift. Are you a disciple of the Sword Sect?”
Yang Ye didn’t answer. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman instead, and he said, “You’ve taken a living to her, right?”
Both the young man and the woman were stunned, and they didn’t understand what Yang Ye meant.
Yang Ye sneered and continued. “Isn’t it all because you took a liking to my concubine and weren’t aware of our ability, so you sent them to probe us? Now you’ve got your answer, right?”
A wisp of ghastly killing intent flashed in the young man’s eyes from being exposed in such a direct manner by Yang Ye. But he quickly turned this expression into a smile and said, “You’re overthinking things. I’m Bai Jiang. I noticed that both of you were new to the Shang Dynasty Ruins and were followed by those two brothers, and that’s why I followed you with the intention of lending a hand. However, now it would seem like my actions were unnecessary.”
“Is that so?” Yang Ye smiled, and then he said, “Then now that we’ve dealt with the two of them, Brother Bao can leave!”
Bai Jiang’s smile froze. After a short while, he smiled and said, “Both of you’re new to the Shang Dynasty Ruins, so I presume you’re extremely unfamiliar with it. Why don’t we form a group?”
Even though he was speaking to Yang Ye, his gaze had been constantly locked onto the woman by Yang Ye's side.
Yang Ye looked at the woman and said, “He’s inviting you. What do you think?”
The woman glanced at Bai Jing, and then she stretched out her hand to embrace Yang Ye’s arm. She revealed a charming smile and said, “I naturally intend to go with you, my Husband.”
Yang Ye shrugged toward Bai Jiang and said, “Brother Bai, you can leave!”
Bai Jiang slowly clenched his fists together. He’d been following them for a long time, and he was clearly aware that they weren’t a pair of husband and wife. The reason the woman called the young man husband was mostly that she hoped to obtain the young man’s protection. After all, in a place like this where there were no rules and everything was decided by strength, it was impossible for a weak woman like her to survive.
Of course, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Bai Jiang had taken a liking to the woman that stood before him. This woman was simply countless times better than the women he’d played with in the past, and that was the reason why he’d sent those two subordinates of his to deal with the young man. However, he’d never imagined that this young man’s strength would actually be so formidable and would be enough to deal with his two subordinates in an instant.
This caused him to be unable to help but feel slight fear in his heart!
“Could it be that Brother Bai really intends to seize my concubine?” Yang Ye spoke with a smile on his face when he noticed the man refused to leave. Since the young man before him was able to order First Heaven Realm experts around, then the young man’s ident.i.ty would definitely be extraordinary. He could boldly kill those two black robed men, but he wouldn’t be stupid enough to kill this young man for the woman who stood by his side.
