Chapter 14 (2/2)

With just one bamboo stick, he kept all of them away No one was able to approach him

But that was not all Knowing that Mu Tipo had more people on his side, Shen Qiao did not intend to spend more time with them either His attacks became more and more ruthless, his countenance which nor blind was now veiled in coldness One of them secretly moved behind Shen Qiao in an atteht doith a whip of his stick The person stumbled backward, and without any mercy, Shen Qiao immediately followed up and pushed him out the

A shrill scream pierced the air as the person fell off the second floor, and everyone was soot to move

”Who else?”

Shen Qiao ”looked” at all of them, his face expressionless The tip of the baround, whereas he stood there, steadfast and unmoved

His face was still pale, but one could faintly discern an extra trace of sternness on it

Chen Gong stood at where he was and gasped

The last tiars was back then when they were still in the shabby temple At that time, he knew Shen Qiao was most likely an expert martial artist before he lost his ht between Yan Wushi+, Zen Master Xueting, and the others at Beyond Cloud Monastery, his outlook seeer felt Shen Qiao was that strong

Until this limpse of Shen Qiao's many secrets, yet it also see at all

Mu Tipo felt erew For a moment, he wanted to kill this person, but at the sah to quench his abhorrence He had to catch hiood number of times after they returned In the end, he could dump him and let his subordinates fck hi hatred in his heart

He looked around Seeing that all of his men appeared hesitant and no one dared to co theht a blind person! You could just crush hihts!”

But they still didn't dare to move, mainly because they were too afraid of him now since each one of theht No one had expected that the person could brilliantly utilize a bamboo stick to such an extent

Shen Qiao's face appeared indifferent He just stood there without any words, as if he aiting for them to either leave or continue to come up and provoke him

Mu Tipo laughed grimly, ”You didn't use any inner qi just now, and exquisiteI've already asked them to surround the inn If you know your place, you should just kneel down and beg me, maybe I'll show you a way out then Otherwise…”

”Otherill happen?”

Mu Tipo's expression became fierce, ”Otherwise…”

But before he could finish, he saw Shen Qiao striking a palm towards the side

Everyone who thought Shen Qiao didn't possess any inner qi was astounded As the air created by the palm passed by, the cabinet fell down at once

They didn't see it coe, and Mu Tipo was no exception Since the cabinet was not far behind him, he couldn't step backward, and the only choice left for hi, Shen Qiao took the opportunity and stroke another palm toward his back at once

Mu Tipo turned around for a counterattack, but he unexpectedly fell straight into Shen Qiao's trap The latter iht hied him back as he retreated to the , then clutched his neck with his other hand

Upon seeing this, the other people dared not to move even more

Mu Tipo didn't expect his bony wrist to be so powerful that he was corip; Shen Qiao's other hand fir him afraid to even to use his inner qi

”By doing this, you're only–cough, cough–only heading to your own dooht that in the end, he would have his eyes pecked out by an eagle after spending his life training and toying with them He was pissed to death, yet he dared not to act rashly

But ould have thought that Shen Qiao could still fool around with everyone even with a body like this?

”I don't know if I'o today, you'll probably meet your doom here first” Shen Qiao's tone was almost flat, his voice was not loud either Occasionally, a soft cough could be heard, but there was no anger in his voice ”To be able to have your noble life in exchange for ain indeed”

How the hell did he mistake this person for someone as harmless and delicate!

Mu Tipo had no choice but to order those servants, ere staring at them and ready to take action, to retreat ”Go out and tell all of them to withdraw!”

Shen Qiao sighed, ”Wouldn't it be better if Coo Please accoive e”

Mu Tipo sneered, ”How is a carriage going to help a blind person like you? Don't tell n you a coachman too!”

Shen Qiao thought for a ht Then please excuse er I'm sure this way the coachman would not dare to disobey”

Mu Tipo was exasperated

Thus they went all the way out of the city Mu Tipo was forced to get on the carriage, and with him in Shen Qiao's hand, the coachman did not dare to resist

The carriage headed west for two days and one night until they were close to the border of Northern Zhou Shen Qiao made sure that Mu Tipo's servants would not be able to catch up with them for a while before he let the coache, whereas he went into an inn while holding Mu Tipo as his hostage He first knocked Mu Tipo out, and then rendered his offspringother people in the future After leaving hiuest rooms, Shen Qiao finally left all by himself

After he caate However, he could onlyto stop He found a corner in an eainst the wall there, he could not hold onto this state of a spent arrow any longer He bent over and coughed up a big mouthful of blood

A sneer came from the side

Without lifting his head, Shen Qiao already kneho the person was He erased the bloodstains on his lips with his sleeves and siainst the wall

A black-robed person had appeared, yet no one could tell when it had happened His face was handso A ferinkles sprinkled along his long and narrow eyes, but they rather enhanced his stature with an indescribable charm

Yan Wushi+ stood there with his hands clasped behind hi to burn out at any ue, ”It's so obvious that you parted with Chen Gong because you didn't want to implicate hiht at the next second That Chen guy didn't want to be Mu Tipo's boy-toy himself, so he threw you out at once Well, how does it feel to be a good person?”

Shen Qiao felt extremely nauseous inside his chest He covered hishe could spit out a couple more mouthfuls of blood just to make himself feel better

”What you said is wrong I was the one reading the script that night at Beyond Cloud Monastery, and I am the only one who's literate out of the two of us Even if Chen Gong has an outstanding memory and re behind them If the people from Six Harmonies association decide to look for us afterwards, theyafter me Therefore, the reason I parted with him is because I don't want to involve him in my troubles It would bother my conscience if he suffered because of me”

He didn't have enough energy to finish, so he had to pause for a :

”But I'm not a prophet I didn't knoould run into Mu Tipo, and even more so, I didn't knoould lead the disaster tohioat without feeling guilty just for the possibility that hein the future that will cause me harm”
