Translator: 549690339

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Shi Ruifeng brandished his spear, lunging out once again.

“Humph! ”

Pei Xuanjings eyes hardened, and he unsheathed his sword, accompanied by the forces of wind and thunder.

“Take this!”

Qiu Xingwen and Feng Hongfei, each launched their attack, trying to block Pei Xuanjing’s escape route.

The two men moved simultaneously, one on each side of Pei Xuanjing, launching their attack with fury to form a pincer movement against him.

However, Pei Xuanjing clearly anticipated their strategy. He maintained his sword stance and with his left hand rapidly unleashed a series of palm strikes, an unending wave of energy blasting towards the two men.

Clang!

The Shenxiao Sword clashed with the long spear. Even the Divine Weapon, fashioned from the superior Mysterious Iron and pure gold, was left with a shallow scratch by the sword.

Hum!

Whoosh!

Without sparing a glance, Pei Xuanjing swept his Shenxiao Sword backwards. The fierce sword edge forced Qiu Xingwen and Feng Hongfei to retreat who were preparing for another joint attack.

His feet abruptly stepped onto the shaft of the spear held in Shi Ruifeng’s hands.

Boom!

The immense force smashed the ground, generating wave after wave of tremors.

Shi Ruifeng roared, his veins bulging, and channeled his full strength into his spear, seemingly intending to topple Pei Xuanjing.

Yet, Pei Xuanjing had anticipated this. He leaped gracefully into the air and landed tens of feet away.

“Heh, heh.” He glanced at the crowd and once again dashed off into the distance.

“Damn!”

“We’ve been tricked!”

Only then did they realize that Pei Xuanjing had planned this, using their own attacks to facilitate his escape.

But by the time they realized it, their opponent had already fled far away, leaving them to bemoan their incompetence.

The men shared a glance and sighed helplessly.

“With the three of us, it will be tough to capture him.” Shi Ruifeng stood holding his spear, speaking with a grave expression.

Faced with his demoralizing words, the other two didn’t oppose them but nodded slightly instead.

From this exchange, they had a first-hand experience of Pei Xuanjing’s formidable strength.

They recognized that Shi Ruifeng’s words were a face-saving gesture for them.

Capture him?

What a joke! If not for Pei Xuanjing evading the fight for some unknown reason, some of them might have lost their lives today.

In that moment, they understood that this man, whose name was held in high prestige by many, didn’t exaggerate his capabilities.

Considering his track record, they were in no mood to become his stepping stone to further glory.

After all, no first-grade martial artist wanted to throw away their lavish and comfortable lives here, even if they were despised as stooges.

“Why not invite a few more experts?” suggested Feng Hongfei.

Shi Ruifeng and Qiu Xingwen nodded in agreement.

Despite their apprehension, they still had duties to fulfill.

They started to arrange for their deceased companion’s bodies to be taken away and ordered their subordinates from Hejian Mansion to search the whole city for signs of Pei Xuanjing.

Leaving aside the fact that Shi Ruifeng and the others were starting to regard Pei Xuanjing as a formidable foe, and decided to call for reinforcements…

Soon after escaping, Pei Xuanjing quickly moved between several locations. By the time he emerged from somewhere, he had changed into a youthful outfit, looking completely different from his previous appearance.

Pei Xuanjing walked down several streets, following the markings on the road, and eventually arrived at the back door of a house.

Creak.

The back door of the house opened, revealing a bright-eyed, lean young man.

“Sir, please come in.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded and followed the man into the house.

This house was obviously of affluence, with all the pavilions and kiosks one could think of. After several twists and turns, Pei Xuanjing was led to a pavilion.

“Sir, please wait here.” The young man said. Pei Xuanjing nodded and entered the pavilion alone.

“Master.”

Pei Xuanjing hadn’t been waiting long when he heard a call from behind.

He turned to see Pang Hong, his face lit up with joy. He immediately ran towards Pei Xuanjing.

In the short span of two years, the once skinny Pang Hong had grown healthy and strong after starting his martial arts training. It had been nearly a year since Pei Xuanjing had left Tiandu and Pang Hong alone.

In that time, Pang Hong had grown taller and his face had shed some of its youthful innocence. The only thing unchanged was his bright eyes.

“Salutations to my master.” Pang Hong halted a yard away from Pei Xuanjing and dutifully bowed his head in greeting.

Pei Xuanjing’s face adorned a small smile as he replied, “You’ve already broken through to the ninth grade, well done. It seems your dedication to martial arts has not slackened.”

Pang Hong’s voice was filled with emotion. “All my achievements today are due to your help, Master. I will never forget your kindness.”

Pang Hong felt an indescribable amount of gratitude towards the man before him.

He knew that if it wasn’t for him, he would still be the same insecure boy who didn’t know if he would survive another day, maybe dying like a dog one day.

Without him, he wouldn’t have been able to start practicing martial arts, much less be where he was today.

His words were heartfelt, and there wasn’t a trace of insincerity in them.

When he heard about the troubles his master had encountered, it spontaneously worried him, and he wanted to take his master’s place in it.

Having grown up in the tough streets of Tiandu, he Imew the cruelty of those people only too well.

His greatest fear was those people coming after him, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid they would use him to coerce his master, thereby hurting his master. He was ready to lay down his life to make a statement.

So, when Lin Qingyi asked him if he was willing to leave and follow his master, Pang Hong agreed without hesitation.

He thought that any hesitation on his part would be disrespectful to his master.

“Congratulations to Brother Pei on your reunion with your disciple.” A man clad in a brocade robe appeared in the distance, it was none other than Lin Qingyi.

Pei Xuanjing patted Pang Hong, who was slightly shaken, to soothe him.

Then he turned and bowed his head to Lin Qingyi, “Thank you, Brother Lin for your help.”

“Brother Pei, you’re being too polite. Compared to the help you’ve given me, this is merely a trivial matter.” Lin Qingyi modestly declined.

He was being honest; compared to the assistance Pei Xuanjing had provided him, this matter was trivial.

Even though people knew that Pei Xuanjing had given martial arts instructions to Pang Hong, nobody would believe that a fierce and decisive person like him would go out of his way for an ordinary youth.

However, this very fact confirmed to Lin Qingyi that Pei Xuanjing wasn’t the heartless kind, and he was willing to take a risk for this.

Pei Xuanjing just smiled and didn’t linger on the matter.

He turned to Pang Hong and said, “Go pack your things. I have some matters to discuss with Brother

Lin..”
