481: Lin Xuan’s crisis? Don’t come over here!!!

“Ah… this?!!!”

Suzaku War General kept rubbing her eyes, utterly incredulous, as if she had fallen into an absurd illusion.

How could Jiang Yangping, who had already shaken the world and gained fame decades ago, be fleeing in such a pathetic state?

And being relentlessly pursued by a young man, as if his life depended on it?

But this unbelievable fact was clearly laid out before her, leaving Suzaku War General no choice but to believe it.

Just as she was dumbfounded, questioning reality… “Kid, you’re going too far!!!”

“I’m only eighty this year, just entering my twilight years, with plenty of youth left.”

“The humiliation I suffered today, I will make you repay a hundredfold in the future! If I, Jiang Yangping, don’t avenge this, I swear I’m not a man! Don’t bully an old man when he’s down!!!”

“…”

Jiang Yangping roared threats, his voice hoarse.

His voice was like rolling thunder, echoing through the town, shaking the leaves from the trees along the street, as if a sudden downpour had begun.

But Su Fan remained expressionless, like a fierce beast that had locked onto its prey and would not give up, pressing closer with every step, getting nearer and nearer.

He kept repeating, “Give me back my sister.”

Seeing this, Jiang Yangping was so frustrated he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Even now, he still had no idea who the “sister” Su Fan was talking about actually was.

But he knew very well that if he couldn’t quickly shake off Su Fan’s entanglement and find a hidden place to heal… he might actually lose his old life here today?!

Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Jiang Yangping’s eyes. With a hardened heart, he decided to risk further aggravating his injuries and burn his potential again.

Immediately after, his hands formed seals with dazzling, lightning-fast speed, and he chanted incantations at a pace so rapid that even the wind couldn’t keep up.

The next second, Jiang Yangping’s eyes widened, and he bellowed like a great bell.

“Blood Burning Technique!!!”

“Blood Escape!!!”

No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Yangping’s entire network of meridians bulged, like twisting earthworms.

Beneath his skin, blood vessels protruded, and fresh blood surged wildly like a raging tide.

Soon, a thick, inky, leaden blood mist completely enveloped his body.

The blood mist churned and rolled, emitting a nauseating, stomach-churning, bloody stench.

And Jiang Yangping’s aura instantly became extremely violent, like a peerless fierce beast that had broken free from its cage and gone berserk.

Suddenly, his figure flickered, and with a “whoosh,” he transformed into a twisted, strangely shaped, dazzling blood-red light, rushing towards the town entrance.

His speed was astonishing, yet he appeared extremely disheveled, like a rabbit desperately fleeing from a vicious dog, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it!”

Gazing at the disappearing blood-red light, Su Fan angrily smashed the stone pillar in his hand onto the ground.

“Boom!!!”

The earth trembled violently, dust rose, and sand and stones flew.

After all, with his cultivation realm and some mysterious martial arts, if Jiang Yangping was truly determined to escape, Su Fan couldn’t catch him for a while.

Two and a half minutes later, a calmer Su Fan finally noticed the red-haired woman not far away.

Sensing the faint Grandmaster aura emanating from her, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly,

“Who are you? Why are you lurking around?”

Facing the inquiry, Suzaku War General, as if waking from a dream, snapped out of her shock and looked at Su Fan with an expression of utter disbelief.

Am I seeing things?

This young man? He actually forced Jiang Yangping to flee in disarray?

Among all under heaven, besides General Ye, is there actually someone else who can achieve this?

It seems I underestimated the people of the world… This person’s strength is unfathomable~~ Truly terrifying~~~

“How dare you! I asked you a question, why don’t you answer?”

Seeing the red-haired woman remain silent, Su Fan thought she was looking down on him. Just as he was about to get angry (•́へ•́╬)… Da da da——

Behind him, a series of hurried and messy footsteps approached.

Su Fan turned back in surprise, only to see over a dozen soldiers in military uniforms, who had luckily survived, jogging over with great excitement.

They stopped in front of the red-haired woman and gave a military salute with standard, uniform movements.

“(｀･ω･´)ゞ (｀･ω･´)ゞ Suzaku War General!”

Hearing the soldiers’ address, Su Fan raised an eyebrow. He couldn’t help but think of the deceased White Tiger General.

So… this red-haired woman is also one of the God of War Who Protects the Nation’s subordinates, one of the Four Great War Generals?

Although he had never officially met Ye Junlin, this God of War Who Protects the Nation was a household name to Su Fan.

This was because his Master had, on more than one occasion, praised Ye Junlin’s talent without reservation, marveling that this person, like himself, was a born martial arts prodigy.

He even stated directly that Ye Junlin would undoubtedly be one of those capable of contending with him for the title of the world’s strongest in the future.

Recalling his Master’s confident demeanor, Su Fan curled his lips, completely unconcerned. (￣_ ,￣)

Hmph!

If Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang also born?

I will definitely take the opportunity to prove to my Masters… that the number one martial artist is none other than me, who else could it be!!!

…Two and a half minutes later.

Under the soldiers’ concise summary,

Suzaku War General learned of Su Fan’s heroic actions in turning the tide, ∠(°ゝ°) and sincerely thanked him:

“Hello, Mr. Su. Thank you for stepping forward and saving the townspeople, as well as the soldiers. Otherwise, their fate…”

“Don’t be so self-important! The reason I attacked Jiang Yangping was purely out of personal grievance, and it had nothing to do with saving people.”

Su Fan’s expression was as cold as frost, his hands in his pockets, exuding a chilling aura that pushed people a thousand miles away.

Hearing this.

Suzaku War General paused, then unconsciously touched her nose with her red-painted fingernails, giving an awkward smile.

If it were anyone else who dared to speak to her with such an attitude, Suzaku War General would have already given them a big slap.

But facing this formidable man who had driven Jiang Yangping into a corner like a stray dog, she could only humbly smile apologetically.

After all, Su Fan didn’t look like the type to be gentle with women. →_→

【But where did this person come from?】

【His martial arts cultivation is so powerful, he couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air… Wait, could he be…】

Suddenly, Suzaku War General’s pupils contracted sharply.

Combining some intelligence she had recently received, a name quickly flashed through her mind… Heavenly Killing Hall!!!

…Outskirts of Magic City.

In the dense forest, beneath a giant ancient tree, Jiang Yangping was covered in blood, leaning against the tree trunk, barely alive.

At this moment, he felt every breath was incredibly difficult, like a worn-out bellows struggling to pull air, as if it would completely stop at any second.

His originally rosy and full face was now like a withered autumn leaf, completely devoid of color.

His eyes were deeply sunken, filled with exhaustion and unbearable pain.

His meridians were like withered vines burned by raging fire, shattered and utterly lifeless.

His internal organs felt as if they were being cut by countless incredibly sharp blades.

Excruciating pain constantly assaulted his nerves, a torment like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart.

Every muscle involuntarily spasmed and twitched, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead like rain.

The reason he had become so horribly disfigured… was primarily due to the severe after-effects of forcibly using the Blood Burning Technique and Blood Escape, which tormented him relentlessly like a parasitic disease.

Jiang Yangping knew that what he urgently needed most… was to absorb the blood energy of others to restore his depleted qi and blood, and heal his injuries.

This was the fastest shortcut to recovering his cultivation, and his only chance at survival.

“If I don’t avenge this, I, Jiang Yangping, swear I’m not a man!!!”

“And that sister the kid mentioned, she must be a very important relative to him.”

“Once I find out who she is, I will definitely capture her and bring her before that kid, and personally twist her neck in front of him.”

“I’ll make that kid feel pain!!! Make him understand the consequences of offending me, Jiang Yangping!!!”

“…”

Jiang Yangping’s face was filled with malevolence as he squeezed out these few words through gritted teeth, his tone brimming with endless killing intent and fury.

The hatred was like a raging inferno, almost incinerating his last shred of sanity.

He clenched his fists, the fire of revenge in his heart burning ever more fiercely, supporting his crumbling will.

Suddenly.

Jiang Yangping heard several voices not far away. Realizing something, he abruptly turned his head, a grin spreading across his face, revealing his stark white teeth.

He knew that many stragglers had escaped Bu Jiang Town earlier.

And these people were now scattered throughout the forest, moving in twos and threes.

For now, as long as he didn’t run into that little monster, everyone else was just a “lamb” for him to slaughter… Soon.

Screams of incomparable agony began to echo through the forest.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah——

And at this moment.

A man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dignified, elegant, graceful, gentle, handsome, fair-skinned, bright-eyed, fresh and refined, a man of outstanding talent, refined and profound, of extraordinary appearance and character, talented and handsome, like Xu Gong of the North City, as handsome as Pan An who received fruits, upright, towering, heroic and spirited, of extraordinary bearing, full of vigor, awe-inspiring, radiant with heroism, with the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, extraordinary, like a jade tree in the wind, red-lipped and white-toothed, head and shoulders above others, refined and courteous, generous and natural, handsome and bright, full of spirit, in the prime of his life, walking with the stride of a dragon and tiger, graceful and elegant, with the demeanor of a forest scholar, a gentle and noble man, seven feet tall, a burly man, with a powdered face, beautiful as a jade crown, with a face like a hibiscus, like He Lang with powdered face, with the grace of clouds and moon, with the three blessings of Hua Feng, with a rhinoceros-like skull and jade-like cheeks, of astonishing talent and elegant demeanor, heroic and mighty, graceful and charming, a talent above the common, graceful and charming, handsome and dashing, romantic and unrestrained… after hearing the screams, he unconsciously raised his head and looked around in confusion.

“Hmm? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a What happened? What happened? What’s that sound?”

…Back then, Hong Kong goddesses were abundant, but it seems the new generation can’t surpass them… Good night, asking for gifts! Begging for ‘power for love’~~~
