C19 (1/2)
The whole Seven Stars Town had been completely burnt. Some of the wood that were not completely burned still emitted green smoke.
The upper part of the tunnel was covered with sundries, so opening it was extremely difficult. Fortunately, there was a bit of strength in the steel plate, so opening it wasn't too difficult. Ye Wen looked around, but did not see Lu Mingjie. He guessed that Lu Mingjie was not far away and immediately jumped out.
After Liu Yiyi and Monkey No Shadow came out of the tunnel, they identified the direction. The three of them didn't dare to stay any longer and prepared to head east. Just as Liu Yiyi was rejoicing over Lu Mingjie's absence, she heard his laughter.
”My luck is great, no wonder I couldn't find a single corpse after searching through this place.” Lü Mingjie's wrinkled face was full of fatigue. He smiled at the three of them. That smile made Liu Yiyi feel cold.
Ye Mo Han turned around and laughed, ”You really are a bit of a ghost that won't leave.”
Lu Mingji snorted lightly, reprimanding Ye Mo Han, ”Truly, a child without parents is lacking in manners. In terms of seniority, you should call me Master.”
Ye Mo Han also imitated Lu Ming and snorted, ”Luckily you are not my master, otherwise I would have done something disobedient and offended you. If word of this got out, it would be bad.”
Lu Mingjie did not understand the hidden meaning behind Ye Mo's words. ”You've already killed your Martial Uncle. Isn't that called disobedient?”
”I want to kill you if I can.” Ye Mo Han said word by word.
”This brat doesn't know his place, is he trying to court death just because of his injuries?” Lu Mingjie suddenly struck out with his palm, it was both domineering and sharp.
Ye Wen Han did not dare to take it head on, it was worth relying on his Qing Gong to avoid it. However, Lu Mingjie seemed to be able to predict his moves, and with another palm strike, he sealed off all paths of retreat. Ye Wen Han was shocked, he immediately flipped to the side to avoid Lu Mingjie's palms.
”Good boy.” Lu Ming praised Ye Wen as he struck out with two palms towards Ye Wen Han.
Ye Mo Han lowered his head and punched back. As the fist and palm collided, Ye Mo Han took six steps back. Lu Mingjie stepped up, his left hand struck straight at Ye Wen Han's head, while his right palm split vertically, as a Qi saber shot out towards Ye Wen Han. With his palm in the lead, the blade arrived first. If Ye Mo Han wanted to sidestep the Qi blade, the Sky Spirit Gate would definitely be opened wide, and he would perish under Lu Mingjie's palm. (TL: Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi = Qi.) It was impossible for Ye Wen to avoid this.
In that case, there was no retreat, only advance. Black dust flew up in front of Lu Mingjie. A Qi saber and a palm struck the ground, forming a pit three feet wide. Ye Mo Han continued to move forward, passing under Lu Mingjie's crotch. Although this move was a bit embarrassing, it could still be considered a bold and witty move.
When Liu Yiyi saw that Ye Han had safely avoided the attack, the stone in her heart fell to the ground. Seeing that Lu Mingjie was about to continue battling, she unconsciously felt her heart tighten.
”Stop!” Monkey Shadowless shouted.
Lu Mingjie turned his head to look coldly at the monkey, ”Don't be in such a hurry. You'll be next.”
”The map of Mount Hua is not on me. If you kill me, the secret passageway will be exposed to the public.” Of course, the map of the secret passage of Mount Hua was not with Monkey Shadow. He had burned it in the tunnel.
”What did you say?” Lu Mingjie did not quite believe it.
”I placed the map near a trustworthy person. If I am killed, he will open the map and copy it according to what I said. Then, he will give the map to Shaolin, Wu Dang, and some other small sects.” After listening to Ye Mo Han's suggestion, the monkey Wu Ying could tell that Ye Mo Han's judgement was correct by the expression on Lu Ming Jie's face.
”Are you sure that if you don't die, that person won't look at the map?”
”Of course not.” Monkey Shadowless was very sure. Ye Mo Han laughed in his heart, but his face was full of surprise, as if this was the first time he had heard about the secret passage.
