Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Lightning Monkey VS Leng Ying_1
"President, Zhang Group, Bi Group, and Glorious Group have now allied with Century Group to suppress us comprehensively. It won’t be long before they launch an attack on our stock market. We simply have no means of mobilizing funds to help others at this time. Please consider the Qin Clan’s situation," Xiang Tiandong stated directly.
Qin Yuru’s eyes narrowed, her gaze flickering as she said, "Investigate the movements of these four companies again, and keep a constant watch on those old fellows’ situation for me."
"Yes, President," Xiang Tiandong said before he left.
Qin Yuru let out a small sigh...
As night fell, at Luo Jingxuan’s villa, Yan Ling, Lin Xiaoyan, and Luo Jingxuan returned here after spending a whole day at the police station and had finally come back.
Luo Jingxuan looked somewhat exhausted and did not appear well, sitting on the couch with her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
"Jingxuan, what should we do now? If this continues, Mei Yue will be finished. All the partners and franchisees who previously signed agreements with us are demanding compensation," Yan Ling said worriedly.
Luo Jingxuan’s eyes showed a helpless expression as she replied, "All of this is someone deliberately targeting Mei Yue, and their power is substantial."
"Could it be the Wang Family?" Yan Ling blurted out.
"Even if they’re involved, there are certainly others, and they’ve utilized government power. We have no way to resist right now. To save Mei Yue, we must start with the five deceased," Luo Jingxuan spoke in a low tone.
"Ah, if only Ye Luo were here, he would definitely have a solution for the current crisis," said Yan Ling involuntarily, turning to Lin Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, have you gotten through to his phone?"
"No, it’s been out of service the whole time. It seems Ye Luo must be in a place with no signal," Lin Xiaoyan replied.
Yan Ling pursed her lips and said, "What’s the use of him running around all over the place? He’s not here when we need him the most; it’s so frustrating."
"Stop, who are you?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the villa, startling the three women.
"What’s the matter?"
"Let’s go out and check."
Upon saying this, the three women got up and walked toward the villa entrance; when they opened the door, they saw a man and a woman standing in the courtyard, confronting each other.
The woman was dressed in black, clearly Leng Ying, while the other person was the Lightning Monkey, who had been instructed by Ye Luo to protect the three women.
"Who are you?" Luo Jingxuan asked forthrightly, the expressions of all three women changing slightly.
"Ladies, I have been sent by the Young Master to protect you," Lightning Monkey said to the three women with great respect.
"Young Master?" The three women looked puzzled.
"Are you talking about Ye Luo?" Luo Jingxuan couldn’t help but say.
Lightning Monkey nodded.
"Then who is she?" Luo Jingxuan’s gaze shifted toward Leng Ying.
"I don’t know, but she undoubtedly has an ulterior motive," Lightning Monkey said with a cold gaze fixed on Leng Ying.
"Step aside, I’m just looking for something," Leng Ying said indifferently.
"If you want me to step aside, beat me first," said Lightning Monkey.
The Lightning Monkey snorted coldly and charged toward Leng Ying, his Semi-Saint realm’s imposing aura bursting forth.
Ever since his strength had broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, the Lightning Monkey had yet to truly fight. He could sense that Leng Ying’s strength was in no way inferior to his own, so he wanted to use this opportunity to gauge his own current power.
Speed was the Lightning Monkey’s forte, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Leng Ying, throwing a punch that carried the weight of a thousand jun.
Leng Ying’s eyes narrowed as he dodged with a flicker of his figure.
The Lightning Monkey’s body zipped around continuously, unleashing attacks on Leng Ying, who responded by forming hand seals. A powerful aura of flames enveloped his body, turning his True Yuan into fire.
Countless sparks shot out like rockets toward the Lightning Monkey, whose body kept dodging swiftly while his fists waved in defense against the onslaught of sparks.
At this point, the expressions of the three ladies had turned utterly dumbfounded, as if they were watching an action movie, completely failing to react.
Then, Leng Ying switched his attack method, casting the same Blazing Prison he had used against Ye Luo before. Endless searing flames formed a prison around the Lightning Monkey, burning his body and pressing down on him.
The Lighting Monkey spurred his True Qi throughout his body to withstand the fiery prison, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, his eyes shimmering with a resolute glint.
Although the Lightning Monkey was a Half-Saint Realm powerhouse, just like his opponent, both his True Qi strength and technique execution seemed hardly comparable to the latter. After all, he wasn’t as freakishly overpowering within the same realm as the berserk bear.
"Ha!"
After enduring for several minutes, the Lightning Monkey suddenly let out a ferocious shout, his expression revealing a trace of madness as he burst forth all his strength, forcefully breaking free from the Blazing Prison. Leng Ying staggered backwards from the impact, his gaze flickering as he leaped away and vanished from sight.
Spurt!
Following that, the Lightning Monkey spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, stumbling forward and half-kneeling on the ground, his complexion deathly pale, with his body obviously having suffered heavy damage.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing this, Luo Jingxuan and the other two ladies quickly approached, their eyes showing a hint of concern as they looked at the Lightning Monkey.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Yan Ling asked.
"Ladies, there’s no need. I’ll just regulate my breath and recover with my practice. You all should go back," the Lightning Monkey said directly, rising to his feet before quickly disappearing from their sight.
"Didn’t expect that guy to be so considerate, actually sending someone to protect us," said Yan Ling, her lips pursed as a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Let’s go inside," Luo Jingxuan said, her gaze flickering slightly.
Miaojiang.
In the room where Nie Yuntian and the others were held captive, Nie Wenling’s brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry as she spoke, "How is Ye Luo doing now? Not a single piece of news, it’s maddening."
"Wenling, don’t worry, he will definitely be fine," said Wen Yu with reassurance.
"Yeah, I also believe that Ye Luo isn’t someone who’d easily run into trouble," Nie Yuntian nodded in agreement.
"Right, Father, tomorrow is the day the Second Elder mentioned. Are you really going to endure that Thousand Gu Heart Devouring torture?" asked Nie Wenling, her gaze inevitably turning towards Nie Yuntian, her complexion extremely solemn.
Nie Yuntian seemed quite composed as he replied, "Alright, you two don’t need to worry about me. This is something I must bear. It was because of my mistake that the Second Elder endured the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person. My life rightfully should be returned to her. After my death, you must live well. Wait for Ye Luo to return and take you away. Wen Yu, from then on, you need to take good care of Wenling."
"Father!" Nie Wenyu’s gaze shimmered, a pained expression showing on her face.
Nie Wenling’s eyes brimmed with tears that fell drop by drop.
