Jiang Yunqing climbed out first and then pulled me out. I was too badly injured in one leg to stand up, so I had to let Jiang Yunqing hold me up.
There was dead silence all around, no police had arrived yet, and it didn’t look like much time had passed since the explosion, probably only a minute or two had passed.
Jiang Yunqing’s injuries were more serious than I thought, blood kept seeping from the corner of his mouth, which was definitely an internal injury.
“Are you alright?” I said worriedly as I looked at him.
He shook his head and looked around, “Han Kun and your friend, I didn’t see them.”
They had jumped out before me and should have been in a little better shape than us.
But really, I didn’t even dare to think about it now, I could only pray that they were okay.
There was no way Jiang Yunqing and I would be able to dig someone out in the condition we were in.
I tugged on Jiang Yunqing to keep him from digging the people out, “Don’t move, you sit here and wait for the ambulance to come, I’ll go get them.”
“They, will die ……”
Didn’t I want to save the people more than he did?! But, I couldn’t be impulsive. Jiang Yunqing was too badly injured, and blood was dripping down his shoulder and soon flowing in a puddle.
Han Kun and Snow Leopard were my closest relatives, and I hated to be able to lie under the floorboards in their place!
I tugged on a table leg and managed to take a few steps. I guessed that Han Kun and Snow Leopard were not far from me, but it was not easy to find them as there was no sound at all under this vast rubble.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunqing whispered, “Be careful.”
I followed his line of sight and looked over. There seemed to be a figure in the dust and mist.
I was excited, thinking it was Snow Leopard or Han Kun, but on second thought I thought it was impossible, this man had a steady pace and did not look like he had been injured.
Jiang Yunqing came up next to me, his face already white beyond recognition.
I whispered, “Who is he?”
Jiang Yunqing said, “The visitor is not good.”
This man came out of the dust that had been raised, with a murderous aura all over his body. He was wearing a mask, about five feet nine, a little taller than me, wearing a navy blue coat and carrying a black knife as a walking stick, and walked in step by step.
I couldn’t recognise who this man was, but my instincts told me that he was stronger than anyone I had just met.
We were no match for him.
If Jiang Yunqing was still his opponent, he wasn’t now. Jiang Yunqing was badly injured and couldn’t even stand very steadily.
I laughed helplessly, “Old Uncle Jiang, your nephew is really a layer on a layer, he won’t stop until he kills us today.”
The left side of Jiang Yunqing’s face was covered in blood, and his one-eye was seriously affecting his vision.
He said nothing, his killing aura rising in all directions, ready to fight.
But I didn’t want them to fight, we would definitely lose in a fight.
I was busy saying, “Hey, I think you are a good kung fu master, you must be famous in the jianghu. Isn’t it too shameless to bully us two seriously injured patients like this.”
People in the jianghu world value the face thing, especially those masters, who value honour more than life.
I had no intention of convincing him, I just wanted to stall for time. My Bluetooth headset had been blown out by the blast and I couldn’t reach Meng Meng, but with such a big incident, the police would be on the scene within minutes.
All we had to do was stall for a few minutes.
Before I could see what was happening, Jiang Yunqing had already rushed up and caught the knife he was throwing with one hand.
With my reflexes, I couldn’t believe I didn’t see his movements.
Not even a shadow could be seen!
And when Jiang Yunqing caught the knife, it was just five centimetres from my throat after that.
I stumbled, and it was only at this time that I felt the terrible smell of blood from the blade.
Jiang Yunqing said, “Ah Ming told you to come and kill me, don’t hurt the innocent.”
The man shook his head and said in a shrill voice, “You will all die.”
Jiang Yunqing said, “There is a life and a death, but my life is up to me and not to you.”
The man’s voice sounded deliberately pinched out, definitely trying to hide his identity.
There were only a handful of people in the Jianghu who were high enough to barely match Jiang Yunqing, and as soon as he spoke, he would definitely expose himself.
Jiang Yunqing was so badly injured, he was no match for him. I was anxious, so it was best not to fight, but to delay for a while.
I said, “Hey, you’re pinching your voice and talking like a woman because you don’t want us to know who you are. You still know shame! But when a man walks in the world, he doesn’t change his name, and if he dares to do something, he dares to do it.
After saying that, I whispered to Jiang Yunqing, “Don’t fight him, the police will be here soon.”
Jiang Yunqing shook his head, “I’m afraid I can’t help it.”
I was about to continue cursing for a while to distract him, but at that moment, the man swooped, his figure like lightning, and rushed towards us frantically.
In this instant, Jiang Yun list with a sword in his hand, also changed abruptly, from a seriously wounded patient who was about to die, to a god of killing, his killing aura rose in all directions.
Bang!
Only then did I see that the man was holding two short swords in both hands, clashing with Jiang Yunqing’s long sword, and the fierce clash of killing qi alone almost made me vomit blood.
Damn it, how can you start a fight at the drop of a hat!
I guess the man was afraid of the police and wanted to kill us quickly before they came. Jiang Ming was a brute, he would do anything to kill someone.
I wanted to help Jiang Yunqing, but the fight between these two was so fast and simple, there were no fancy moves at all, just the simplest clash of power and strength.
Jiang Yunqing was worthy of being the number one in the jianghu, he was able to withstand his opponent’s full attack with one hand! This was still when he was seriously injured, if it was at full strength, dealing with absolutely only enough to be killed by him in seconds.
In an instant, the two of them went through dozens of rounds, standing on opposite sides, Jiang Yunqing gasping for breath, his figure already shaking.
“Worthy of being the number one expert in the jianghu, it is not an insult to your prestige to die by my hands today instead of those of the curmudgeons.”
“You hide your head and face, you are also a rat.”
Without a few words of nonsense, Jiang Yunqing yelled down to me, “You go now.”
Then the two instantly fought again.
The man then realised that he was really no match for Jiang Yunqing and violently reversed his attack and struck towards me.
Jiang Yunqing hurriedly came over to block the blade for me, and the blades clashed, sending up a blinding flash of sparks.
“You go!” Jiang Yunqing shouted to me anxiously.
“Jiang Yunqing, you are so kind to the Ji family. But even if you are good, the Ji family will not bear your love, and they will hate you forever when you stirred up the great chaos in the Jianghu forty years ago.”
As they spoke, the two men exchanged a dozen more moves, the piercing sound of metal clashing in my ears.
Bang, bang, bang! The killer’s movements were very fast, so were Jiang Yunqing’s, so fast that it seemed as if the two were not fighting, but rather like a pre-practiced performance, absolute attack and absolute defence, this was how masters and masters overcame each other!
Stab!
Suddenly, the man’s short knife slashed through Jiang Yunqing’s lapel, almost bleeding Jiang Yunqing’s throat.
“You’re dying.” The man said.
Jiang Yunqing wiped the beads of blood off his neck and shouted at me again, “Go!!!”
There was no way I was leaving, what the f*ck was I if I did at this point?
The ruins were so high and low that I accidentally fell and was about to get up when I touched a gun handle!
It was definitely the rifle those killers were holding earlier, and it was good to have it.
But the rifle was stuck in the floorboards and I couldn’t pull it out, so I had to move all the rocks around to get it out.
“Jiang Yunqing, this is not worth it. You’re bound to die today. But you and I have been friends for many years, so if you are willing to kill Zhang Chao, I can plead for Jiang Ming on your behalf.”
Jiang Yunqing said, “Old friend, heh, you don’t deserve it.”
The man was a little annoyed and said, “Zhang Chao is not your Jiang family, what does his death have to do with you?”
“You don’t understand even if I talk to you about big ideas, why bother with nonsense!”
“Then don’t blame me for not being polite!”
I was so anxious that I tried desperately to shave the gun, but the barrel was stuck in the steel and I couldn’t pull it out, so I used all my strength to pull it out.
Jiang Yunqing’s strength was also down to the extreme, his movements were not as fast as earlier, and he could not afford to block the attack any longer, several knives were not blocked, and several more wounds were instantly inflicted on his body.
Bang, his knife was swung away by the man, Jiang Yunqing did not dodge, and then the short knife stabbed straight into his chest.
Bright red blood, all at once, gushed out and Jiang Yunqing’s figure swayed as he slowly collapsed forward.
