Chapter 235: 235 The Middle-Aged Man Appears_1
The strength of the Black Blade martial artists still seemed to be slightly inferior to that of the Flame Dragon Organization. With the addition of Chou Jiukun, who had stepped into the Qi Drawing Realm for over a decade, Jin Gang and Chou Jiukun stood back to back and, to everyone’s surprise, matched several attacking Black Blade martial artists blow for blow, just managing to fend off Black Blade’s assault.
Seeing that Jin Gang’s situation had stabilized, Fei Ying let out a loud shout, popped a medicinal pill into his mouth, and within a few seconds, his aura surged tremendously. Even the blue dagger in his hand seemed far more captivating.
Xiao Bai, seeing this, casually took out an identical medicinal pill and, after tossing it into his mouth like Fei Ying, also experienced a massive increase in momentum. The soft sword, which had previously been somewhat strained, began to swing with newfound ferocity.
“So, the Flame Dragon Organization already has an alchemist?” A note of surprise flashed in the young man’s eyes who had been blocking the way. Picking up his curved blade, he began to attack Fei Ying desperately.
Unfortunately for him, Fei Ying, after consuming the medicinal pill, had his strength so greatly enhanced that even with the combined forces of the young man and another master at the Physical Conditioning realm, they found it hard to suppress him.
In the midst of the fight, Fei Ying feinted at the young man with a slash, then instantly flung his blue dagger, sending it flying amidst those who were besieging Xiao Bai.
One of the Black Blade martial artists attacking Xiao Bai, a Physical Conditioning realm practitioner, never anticipated that a dagger could come flying at him from behind. He was pierced straight through by the sudden dagger, collapsing to the ground.
After Xiao Bai took the medicinal pill, his strength was no less than that of a Qi Drawing Realm martial artist. Combined with the power of his mysterious soft sword, he actually began to overpower the Qi Drawing Realm Black Blade martial artist before him.
And on Fei Ying’s side, with the strength boost provided by the medicinal pill, he effortlessly withstood the advances of two Black Blade martial artists on his own.
The three members of the Flame Dragon Organization, together with Chou Jiukun, the patron of the Qin Family, incredibly managed to hold off the frenzied assault of over a dozen Black Blade martial artists.
Just then, from the darkness of the distant night, suddenly emerged a middle-aged man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, with a sinister expression on his face. This man was none other than the middle-aged man Xu Fan had encountered after the auction concluded.
“A bunch of trash, taking so long to handle a few riff-raff from the Flame Dragon Organization!” The middle-aged man coldly commented as he looked at the group from Black Blade.
The young man in charge of stopping vehicles turned around, and upon seeing the middle-aged man, a sudden shock rushed through him.
“My apologies, sir. We will dispose of them immediately!” the young man stammered to the middle-aged man, a hint of panic in his voice.
“No need, by the time you guys deal with them, Flame Dragon’s reinforcements will probably have arrived!” The middle-aged man said calmly. His figure moved, and like a bolt of lightning, he cut into the battlefield.
The first to bear the brunt was Fei Ying. As the leader of the Flame Dragon organization’s trio and the strongest among them, the middle-aged man aimed directly for Fei Ying without deviation.
The youth responsible for stopping people and another Black Blade martial artist assaulting Fei Ying, seeing the middle-aged man personally join the fray, nearly by instinct, moved aside.
For this middle-aged man, their presence was not assistance, but merely a burden.
Fei Ying merely grasped the blue dagger in his hand because he had already sensed the powerful aura emanating from the middle-aged man, an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man had moved from several dozen meters away and appeared instantaneously beside Fei Ying. He didn’t even take out a weapon; he merely clenched his fists and threw a punch at Fei Ying.
A terrifying grey Qi Force burst forth from his fist, carrying a momentum that could shatter anything in its path, and it violently collided with Fei Ying.
Fei Ying’s blue dagger burst into the most dazzling blue light and ferociously sliced into the grey Qi Force released by the middle-aged man’s fist. However, after merely two seconds, the blue light in Fei Ying’s hand was completely devoured by the grey Qi Force.
With a “boom,” Fei Ying’s body was propelled by the Qi Force, flying more than a dozen meters before crashing into a lamppost’s iron pole, nearly bending it.
Gushes of fresh blood poured out of Fei Ying’s mouth as if it cost nothing. At this moment, even the blue dagger had been knocked out of his grasp, landing who knows where. The weapon was Fei Ying’s lifeline, and it was the first time in history it had been knocked away during a fight.
“Qi Force externalized; he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster!” This terrifying thought flashed through Fei Ying’s mind as he spat out blood and shouted to Jin Gang and Xiao Bai, “Take the Blood Bodhi and run! As far as you can!”
“Captain, what about you!” Jin Gang fired a shot, blasting away two approaching enemies, and urgently spoke to Fei Ying.
“Don’t… worry about me, the mission… is what’s important! Go now! That’s an order!” Fei Ying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to his feet.
With a casual beckoning, the blue dagger in the nearby flower bed flew back into Fei Ying’s hand, though its blue glow was no longer as bright as before, appearing as if it might extinguish at any moment.
“You go! I’ll cover our retreat!” Fei Ying shouted wildly, then leapt back into the center of the battlefield.
Tears started to form in Xiao Bai’s eyes, but Fei Ying’s words were clear. As a member of the Flame Dragon Organization, she had to obey the captain’s orders unconditionally.
So, Chou Jiukun and Jin Gang, after flinging aside the Black Blade martial artists, nimbly hopped onto the Hummer. Xiao Bai swiftly leaped through the window lowered in the back row, squeezing into the rear seat. Chou Jiukun, who was next to the driver’s side door, slid straight into the driver’s seat. He slammed on the accelerator, and with a roaring sound, the Hummer shot off the ground and sped away instantly.
A few Black Blade martial artists originally wanted to intercept, but Fei Ying, seemingly throwing his life away, flung his blue dagger once again. The spinning blue dagger, like a razor, held back all those who tried to block the vehicle.
Fei Ying was now weaponless, and the middle-aged man who had knocked him away with a single palm appeared in front of Fei Ying once again.
“Kid, you want to die, huh? I’ll grant your wish!” The middle-aged man revealed a venomous smile and slowly raised his right fist.
At that moment, from the window of the Hummer, suddenly protruded the muzzle of a gun. It was an automatic rifle that Jin Gang had taken out from the vehicle, aimed at the middle-aged man, and he opened fire in a sweeping motion.
Martial artists typically seldom use guns because they have a strong aversion to such hot weapons.
However, seeing that Captain Fei Ying was about to be blasted to death by the middle-aged man, Jin Gang could not care less and angrily handled the only automatic rifle in the vehicle, firing a burst of shots at the middle-aged man.
