Chapter 118: Rescued
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A twinge seized Lao Meng’s rib and spread throughout his body. He lost control of his body out of a bewildering sudden as he collapsed right onto the lying beggar. And that was the moment when he realized the fact that the half-dead looking beggar actually had his eyes opened, glaring right into his soul!
The cold classic stare from Ye Chong caused Lao Meng’s heart to twitch.
Back in Black Coves, perhaps Ye Chong was not able to master the greatest assault, however he did learn a few of one-hitting techniques to hold the foes. The one occurred before was a strike to the target’s spinal cord to disable the target’s control to the body. It sounded all powerful like a technique from the martial arts tales, however as a matter of fact this was the most fundamental move in the Black Coves. Ye Chong did hear about other skills that were more tormenting and overwhelming back then, which some of them being truly bizarre!
Ye Chong used the technique when the foe let his guard down. A perfect one-hit strike!
He laughed bitterly in his mind. The move seemed simple, yet it consumed a majority part of his charged stamina. His breathing became hasty again.
Habitually, the following procedure could have been the killing. Ye Chong would hardly leave a living foe to spread his words around. The strike before was fatal enough to take this buffed man out, but Ye Chong simply did not have the stamina to kill this guy!
This technique could have been both efficient and effective. The effect was only temporary nonetheless. After a certain duration had passed and that duration was not long in actuality, the enemy would retrieve control of his body without any wound. And the one who would suffer the worst fate would be Ye Chong himself!
Ye Chong hoped that he could regain his stamina in time to at least launch one last strike before the enemy could move again. Once and for all!
Ye Chong’s eyes looked bloodthirsty!
As Lao Meng saw every expression on Ye Chong, out of fright, he screamed on top of his lungs, ”Yikes! Why the hell can’t I move anymore? Holy Haleyson! Lao Ping, Lao Pi, get yourselves over here and save me! F*cking hell! I got set up! Quick! Get yourself here already!” Lao Meng’s coarse voice roared harshly.
Ye Chong flinched - he did not come alone? He was no longer concerned on his energy-saving plan as he pushed the beefy man to the side - Ugh, I thought I was moving a whale or something! Ye Chong stood up frantically on his weakened limbs - assuming the foe had mates behind, then I would surely lose in the end if I kept lying on the ground! He took a look at Nan Nan, who was covering her eyes and squatting on the ground, shivering. Somehow a hint of warmness rushed through Ye Chong’s body upon seeing her.
I’ll just do my best, thought Ye Chong. The situation was not as optimistic however.
Obviously he was thrown into a nasty situation, where the odds were all against him. Nonetheless, he did not rant or show grudges!
Providing that he would be killed in the end, he had to make the kill cost them a lot at the very least! Violence flashed in the dark pupils of his eyes, which frightened Lao Meng who had been watching this fierce beggar the whole time. His voice rang drastically, ”Lao Ping, Lao Pi, be careful! This is a savage one!”
Lao Ping and Lao Pi inched towards Ye Chong sluggishly, as their faces were fixed with grim.
The sudden collapse of their friend was more than shocking. Till he made that SOS shriek, they were not aware that Lao Meng had fallen prey to a set-up.
The fact that the beggar stood up weakly was comforting to the two. At least he looked fragile as if he could fall in a breeze! Even so, thinking back of how desperate Lao Meng’s reminder sounded, their expressions turned grave once more, as they knew Lao Meng well. He might be a man who was all rough and tough but he had some real sensibility.
The beggar’s indifference even in such a nerve-wrecking situation justified Lao Meng’s reaction. It was then the two noticed the strangeness in this foe.
”Hey friend!” Lao Ping was acting kind as he spoke slowly, ”This… This was just some misunderstanding, right? This friend of mine found the girl rather adorable, so he wanted to play with her. I know his jokes were pretty bad…” Lao Pi in the meantime shifted to the back of Ye Chong and started inching towards him. This was the 3 mousy-tears’ way of resolving issues after running business in the Orbits for years. They were a flawless team - Lao Ping first would use words to hold the foe, while Lao Pi would strike from the back. It always worked! Even if the foe did not fall for the strike, at least it would hold the foe throughout the entire conversation.
Unfortunately… What they had encountered was an oddity. Ye Chong was that one major who went against chattering during combats!
Ye Chong did not bother to carry on listening as he turned to his back, lifted his leg and launched a kick right into Lao Pi, which shocked the heck out of Lao Pi. It was a rare occasion to have a foe who wanted to fight right away. However, the kick gave no effect. It felt as weak as the beggar. And Lao Pi was relieved.
Seeing how the dirty beggar wanted to pick a fight for real, he decided to stop blabbering and give a kick to his back as he lifted his foot.
Lao Pi sneered as he felt harmless of the beggar’s kick. He moved faster towards Ye Chong.
Out of the blue, that feeble leg of Ye Chong's sprang, like a serpent ready to take a bite. Fearsome it looked! The target was the neck! If the kick landed on point, the throat would shatter and the man would be dead! Lao Pi did not manage to react in time to dodge, as he covered his head with his arms crossed.
Thup! The kick hit Lao Pi’s arms. That was when Lao Pi was astounded by how much heavier the blow landed than it appeared! Ye Chong’s leg was stuck on the arms. He exerted more pressure on Lao Pi’s arms, the arms went closer to the face. Outrageous! Lao Pi used all his strength to force Ye Chong away. As adrenaline rushed on such a dead-or-alive situation, Lao Pi’s strength was amazing. Lao Ping was relieved seeing this.
Who knows!
Thup!
Ye Chong used the push by Lao Pi, as he fired himself towards Lao Ping.
Lao Pi’s leg was already lifted and he could not react in time. He only saw how Ye Chong was lifted by the force of Lao Ping and sank into Lao Ping, like a snake slithering over Lao Ping’s leg, raising his upper body alarmingly.
Lao Ping’s right leg was crushed as he lost balance. How else could he react?
