Chapter 81: Midnight Massacre (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
The black sky thundered, the windy clouds moved, and the torrential rain swept through the old street on the riverbank.
The numerous shops were closed, the multitude of alleys were washed, and the rain poured down on the river and boats like the heavens weeping blood!
Three figures were confronting each other at both ends of the long riverside street.
At the same moment that Ye Jingtang hooked his finger, the hunched Blood Bodhi stepped forward and swung the iron cane in his hand.
Swish!
The black iron cane turned into a crescent moon in the rain. Three dark red beads flew out of the hole at the bottom of the iron cane and tore through the air, striking at Ye Jingtang’s glabella, throat, and heart!
The speed of the Blood Bodhi’s hidden weapons was terrifying. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to parry them with a spear, but the Overlord Spear’s fighting style had never been delicate.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Jingtang didn’t even have any intention of blocking or dodging. He held his spear with both hands and directly used a sweeping move.
Boom!
This move was the most iconic move of the Pei Family’s Overlord Spear, the Overlord Opening the Sea. This was where the spear technique’s name came from. It vividly displayed the Pei Family’s spear’s boldness, fierceness, and domineeringness.
The moment he raised the spear with both hands, the rain stirred up around him.
When the spear swept past in front of him, the rain ten feet around him was actually shattered into mist by the sharp spear tip, forming a mist ring.
Bam!
Waves of air surged, and the rain and mist torn apart by the spear tip spread out, engulfing everything like a tornado.
The three dark red beads shooting over were instantly brought off balance and scattered to the side.
As for the Blood Bodhi opposite him, he wasn’t surprised by this terrifying scene. He seized the opportunity to attack with all his might.
“Haa!”
Ye Jingtang’s spear swept from the right to the left. Taking advantage of the momentum, he dashed forward and unleashed another Yellow Dragon Crouching.
But when experts fought, it was a consensus in Jianghu not to use a move twice.
The Blood Bodhi was extremely experienced and had calculated Ye Jingtang’s consecutive moves. He raised the iron cane to block, but he didn’t exert any strength. Instead, his body moved sideways as he flipped the iron cane.
Bang!
The powerful and heavy spear tip smashed toward the iron cane without any resistance. The iron cane turned around and slammed down toward the blue bricks on the street.
Boom!
The street bricks instantly shattered, and a five-foot-long groove was smashed out.
The Blood Bodhi hooked the spear shaft with his cane and pressed down with all his might!
And Chen Ming, who had been following Ye Jingtang like a shadow, finally appeared at this moment. He jumped over the Blood Bodhi’s head and grabbed Ye Jingtang’s forehead with the iron claw in his right hand.
The two of them cooperated smoothly. Although their physiques were inferior to Ye Jingtang’s, they were relying on their experience and skills to forcefully kill him in one strike.
The expressions of Song Chi and the others above the round building changed drastically. They could tell that Ye Jingtang wasn’t familiar with the spear technique yet. He had used too much strength, and the Blood Bodhi managed to catch his move and break it.
Ye Jingtang’s spear was being pressed down too heavily, so he seemed to have no choice but to abandon the spear and use his saber.
But Chen Ming, who was already close to him, wouldn’t give him a chance at all. Even if Ye Jingtang quickly blocked Chen Ming, the Blood Bodhi would make up for the finishing blow at the same time. With the two of them joining forces, Ye Jingtang was almost certain to die.
This scene made Pei Xiangj tin’s expression change drastically. But she was too far apart to help.
Song Chi wanted to shout, “Show mercy!” But before he could open his mouth, his eyes bulged!
(0-0;)!
Ye Jingtang, who seemed to have no way to use his spear, didn’t choose to abandon his spear and retreat when Chen Ming’s claw attack arrived. Instead, he unshackled his explosive power to the limit, pressed down his left hand on the end of the spear, and raised his right hand that was gripping the spear.
“Haa!
With a loud shout, Ye Jingtang’s sleeves were torn apart, and his spear collapsed into a semicircle.
This move was not a spear move of the Overlord Spear but a simple brute force move called ‘the Overlord Lifting the Cauldron’. The spear forcefully picked up the Blood Bodhi, who had erupted with all his might in the desperate situation, and smashed him into Chen Ming above!
Bam!
The two figures collided in the air, and Chen Ming’s figure was sent flying into the sky.
This scene really stupefied the heroes of the Red Flower Pavilion on the round building.
After all, Ye Jingtang’s physical strength was already so strong that it was completely unreasonable. He could defeat ten martial artists with his absolute strength. It was meaningless to look at his moves anymore. Even if he smashed around with an iron rod, he could make it difficult for a Grandmaster to get close.
But the Blood Bodhi was indeed an old Grandmaster of Jianghu. The moment he was forcefully lifted, he didn’t panic. Instead, he actually raised his hand in the air, grabbed Chen Ming’s belt, and threw him forward.
Chen Ming took the opportunity to close in and swipe his claw at Ye Jingtang’s chest without hesitation.
Crack!
The iron claw swept past, bringing with it an explosive sound!
Ye Jingtang was fighting fiercely in the rain and was drenched. With this claw attack, water vapor could be seen steaming on his black robe. The robe in front of his chest instantly tore, and a large hole was scratched diagonally from his left shoulder to his ribs.
And then…
The gleaming silver soft armor was revealed!
F*ckyou!
In this desperate situation, Chen Ming had risked his life to close in and launch a surprise attack, but he had grabbed a piece of soft armor and barely damaged the opponent. His mood was no less than tearing open the pants of beauty and discovering a chastity lock. Even though he was in a fierce battle, he still cursed in his heart.
The next moment, Ye Jingtang raised the tip of the spear and hit Chen Ming’s waist.
Bam!
Chen Ming instantly turned into a bent shrimp and was smashed directly into the street under him along with his spear.
Bang!
The water on the street shook, and circular ripples appeared.
Chen Ming, who had been thrown onto the stone bricks, immediately sprayed out blood from his mouth and nose. His waist was twisted, and his lumbar spine was broken.
Cough!
As a bandit of Jianghu, Chen Ming aroused his ferocity when he was bound to die.
Chen Ming, who had lost all feeling below his waist, still roared loudly. Ignoring the spear piercing his body, he grabbed his spear shaft with his left hand and swept his right claw forward with all his might toward Ye Jingtang’s arm.
“Ah!”
This move was to restrain the weapon and give the Blood Bodhi, who had just landed, a chance to attack from behind. Even if he died, he had to bring Ye Jingtang with him.
Unfortunately, the Blood Bodhi was not trustworthy.
The Blood Bodhi had fought against Ye Jingtang before. Just now, after being forcefully raised by Ye Jingtang, he sensed that Ye Jingtang’s brute force had advanced to another level in just a few days.
These changes were completely illogical. The only possibility was that he had practiced the Roaring Dragon Chart.
Those who had practiced the Roaring Dragon Chart either had thick skin and thick flesh, or their vitality was so strong that it made one’s hair stand on end. If they were not killed on the spot, it would basically be doing useless work.
Moreover, the Blood Bodhi had never thought of exchanging lives from the beginning. He had come to the river to fight for a chance to escape. After throwing Chen Ming out as a meat shield, he rushed toward the nearby riverbank.
Plop!
Chen Ming had risked his life in exchange for an opportunity, but when he heard the sound of splashing water, his eyes showed shock and anger. There was a spear stabbed into his chest, but his bulging eyes still turned to the water on the riverbank. He cursed angrily with blood foam in his mouth, “You f*cking…”
Pfft-
His words came to an abrupt halt.
Ye Jingtang’s spear had pierced through Chen Ming’s chest and abdomen. He took the opportunity to slash horizontally and tear Chen Ming’s upper body. Before blood splattered on his robe, he flew toward the riverbank.
But there were countless uncles from the Pavilion here present, so there was no need for him to personally chase after the deserter.
Before Ye Jingtang could jump into the river, a figure passed by him and dived into the dark water. Like a torpedo silently penetrating through the bottom of the water, he instantly went forward dozens of feet.
Swish!
The Red Flower Pavilion relied on shipping to make its fortune. The hall masters had all been ship gang bosses, and their swimming skills were their ability to make a living.
If the Blood Bodhi escaped from the shore, he might have had a chance. But since he was escaping from the water, it could only be said that he had really been forced into a corner and couldn’t think straight.
Ye Jingtang stopped on the shore. The next moment, water exploded into the air from the river surface more than 100 feet away.
Boom!
The fleeing Blood Bodhi flew out of the water.
Chen Yuanqing followed like a shadow. His figure was like an eagle soaring through the sky as he grabbed the Blood Bodhi’s neck with one hand.
As for the White Tiger Hall’s Song Chi, he crossed the distance of more than 100 feet like a dragonfly skimming on water. His tiger eyes were wide open, and he was about to kill this shameless bandit who had fled at the last minute with a punch.
Ye Jingtang hadn’t figured out which leader of the Green Bandits was connected with the Blood Bodhi yet, so he immediately shouted, “Wait!”
Hearing this, Song Chi hurriedly stopped in midair and grabbed the Blood Bodhi’s shoulder.
When the Blood Bodhi was at his peak, his martial arts skills couldn’t hold back the current second-in-command of the Red Flower Pavilion, not to mention that Chen Yuanqing, who was also a Grandmaster, was still here.. He could barely resist before his left and right arms were grabbed by the two of them and he was directly lifted to the shore…
