Ye Jingtang shook his head secretly. He felt that this fake sister was inferior to Dumdum. Dumdum liked to play, but at least she knew her limits and wouldn’t cause trouble. This sister was completely like, ‘I have suffered a loss, but I refuse to admit it and refuse to change my ways’. It wouldn’t be strange for her to play herself to her death one day.
The two of them jumped onto the mountain ridge and arrived near the entrance of the cave where the Prince of Wu was hiding.
Bai Siming walked out of the cave with the thought of fighting to his heart’s content and dying a spectacular death. Just as he turned around, he saw two figures walking over from the corner of the narrow path.
In the back was the King Ye of Hell, whom he had met a few times. He was a worthy opponent for the last battle of his life.
In front was a woman in white…
!
Bai Siming’s sorrowful and resolute face twitched. He wanted to retreat quickly into the cave, but he immediately realized something. Daoist Xuanji was personally blocking the door. Where on earth could he hide?
Bai Siming’s expression was stiff. Afraid that Daoist Xuanji would insta-kill him with a raise of her hand, his first reaction was to say anxiously, “Wait!”
Daoist Xuanji was still trying to identify the dirty man in front of her. Seeing the man immediately beg for mercy, she didn’t attack and walked forward unhurriedly. “Are you Bai Siming? Why are you wearing red clothes? If you surrender, you won’t have to suffer any pain.”
Bai Siming’s body was stained with Guan Yujia’s blood, and he looked quite disheveled. But in this desperate situation, his aura was still quite strong. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, “The crime of rebellion is death. 1’11 die no matter what, and the Imperial Court can’t forgive me. Since I’ve embarked on this path, how can 1 grovel before 1 die?!”
Daoist Xuanji nodded slightly. “You’re a man.”
Then she prepared to draw her sword.
“Hold on!” Bai Siming raised his hands to stop her, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. “It’s indeed my honor to be able to die under the hands of the imperial teacher. But the gap in strength between you and me is too great. Fighting against you is no different from stretching out my neck for you to kill me. Ms. Imperial Teacher, I wonder if you can give me a chance to fight Sir Ye to my heart’s content?
“Sir Ye has chased after us relentlessly. First, he ruined the heir’s plan in the capital, and then he made His Highness fall to this state. As a retainer, I’ve been treated well by His Highness. If I never fight against Sir Ye from the beginning to the end, I will really be letting His Highness down, and 1 won’t be able to die in peace.”
When Daoist Xuanji saw the other party was at a dead end and wanted to choose a more dignified way to die, she wasn’t unkind. She turned around and stuck to the mountain wall, making way for Ye Jingtang. “I’ll leave him to you.”
Ye Jingtang turned his body and brushed across Daoist Xuanji’s clothes as he passed through the narrow path. He looked at Bai Siming, whose eyes were grim and full of tragedy. “You don’t use weapons?”
Bai Siming took a deep breath, looked at the clouds in the sky, and raised his right hand slightly. “I don’t have a sect, so I’m self-taught. When I was young, I admired the former Fist Chief, Liu Qiansheng, and learned from his palm technique to create my own Flowing Cloud Palm. Sir Ye, since you can compete with Guan Yujia, your unarmed martial arts skills shouldn’t be bad. Do you dare to compete with me?”
Hearing this, Ye Jingtang took off his saber and handed it to Daoist Xuanji behind him. He raised his right hand and beckoned.
Whoosh!
A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the cliff fell into dead silence.
The two top experts stood at both ends of the two-foot-wide narrow path, looking at each other. The atmosphere gradually became oppressive.
Bai Siming had seen Ye Jingtang fight in the past few days and knew that Ye Jingtang was about 20% stronger than him. If the opponent used a weapon, he would have no chance of winning. But in a competition of fists and feet, he was confident that he could have an evenly matched and earth-shattering battle. Even if he died in the battle in the end, he could at least show the demeanor that the number one expert under the Prince of Wu should have!
“Sir Ye, watch carefully!”
Bai Siming’s eyes were extremely focused. He raised his right hand slightly and drew his five fingers across his body. The trajectory carried a unique rhythm. After staring at Ye Jingtang for a moment, he quietly took a step forward with his right foot!
Bain!
A thunderous sound suddenly came from the silent cliff.
Ye Jingtang’s right foot moved slightly, and his figure broke through the hundred-foot-long mountain wind. When he stopped, his left foot was in front of him, and he strode forward. His right hand immediately clenched, causing his right arm to bulge under his robe. Then he sent a punch that shook mountains and destroyed cities toward Bai Siming.
??!
Bai Siming’s pupils immediately constricted, and before he could react, a fist suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes!
Ye Jingtang punched out with all his might. When he saw that Bai Siming was motionless and ‘going to die calmly’, he immediately stopped the heavy punch, which was enough to pulverize Bai Siming’s upper body, half an inch in front of Bai Siming’s nose.
Although the fist stopped, the vast qi contained in the fist still poured out like a tsunami.
Boom!
Under the violent fist wind, the crown on Bai Siming’s head directly exploded. His long hair blew straight behind his head, and even the skin and flesh on his face trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, his mind turned blank.
In the eyes of outsiders, there was only the sound of muffled thunder on the cliff. By the time everyone saw clearly, Ye Jingtang was already standing in front of Bai Siming, maintaining the posture of punching without moving.
Bai Siming had his right hand raised in the same posture.
Seeing that Bai Siming didn’t react, Ye Jingtang frowned and said, “What do you mean by this? Do you want to die at my hands?”
H ii
Bai Siming’s long hair fell down as he stared blankly at Ye Jingtang in front of him. After he was flabbergasted for a long time, his eyes turned into disbelief. “How… how can you…”
At this point, Bai Siming suddenly recalled something. Yesterday, the Heavenly Carnelian Bead in the medicinal furnace had been snatched away by Ye Jingtang. Then Ye Jingtang’s strength soared to this extent…
Could the Heavenly Carnelian Bead really be useful?!
No, it must be useful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown to this extent in just one short night!
When Bai Siming thought of this, his eyes were full of mixed emotions, ranging from disbelief to regret!
Seeing Ye Jingtang stop, Bai Siming reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly retreated. An Earthly Carnel Bead slid out of his sleeve, and he slapped it toward his arm!
“Huh?!”
When Ye Jingtang saw that Bai Siming was determined to commit suicide, his expression changed drastically. He immediately raised his hands to stop Bai Siming’s wrist and snatch the Earthly Carnel Bead. “Don’t! Stop!”
Bai Siming was already a little hysterical. Holding the Earthly Carnel Bead and blocking Ye Jingtang’s hands, he said angrily, “Sir Ye! You’ve already taken it and gained an advantage. Can’t you let me use the medicine and fight you fair and square?”
“You can’t use—”
“Why can’t I use it? Sir Ye, you’re also a hero of a generation, but you even want to destroy the last wish of a dying person. Don’t you think it’s against martial ethics…”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The two of them quickly exchanged blows with their hands on the narrow path. Bai Siming was trying to break the Earthly Carnel Bead, while Ye Jingtang was trying his best to stop him.
Daoist Xuanji was standing at the back, her eyes filled with bafflement. She thought for a moment and flashed forward. Her scabbard rushed out from under Ye Jingtang’s armpit and accurately tapped Bai Siming’s chest.
Boom!
Bai Siming’s movements came to an abrupt halt. Then his eyes were full of unwillingness and grief as he slowly collapsed. From the looks of it, he felt that these two top experts were clearly far stronger than him, but they didn’t even give him a chance to take the drug. They were too inhumane.
After Daoist Xuanji knocked Bai Siming down, she frowned and said, “What are you doing?”
Ye Jingtang shrugged slightly. “Preventing him from committing suicide. Speaking of which, the experts recruited by the Prince of Wu can’t rebel. When it comes to giving away their lives in vain, each of them is more powerful than the other.. It’s really not easy for them to last until now…”
