Chapter 343 A Narrow Escape from Death

Leng Changxi appeared in front of Yu Haitang suddenly like a trick. His hand was holding the rope that Yu Haitang used to threaten Qin Yunuan. With an expression in his eyes, Heiying on the tree also jumped down directly, stepped on the trunk swiftly with a few moves and rescued Maner, who was hanging. Maner was still in a coma. The long-time hanging and tight restraint made her brain a little hypoxic. There were also dark purple bruises on her arms. After handing Maner to another soldier of the Leng Army beside him, Heiying stood behind Leng Changxi at once.

“General.”

Leng Changxi glanced at Qin Yunuan with extremely complicated feelings. There was both blame and care in his eyes. It was only because he didn’t want her to be in danger alone that he had to take such an unwise decision to knock her out. However, why didn’t she understand him?

But for an instant, the two people had a mutual affinity. Qin Yunuan stood behind Leng Changxi silently and said in a low voice, “Why do you come here?”

Leng Changxi answered snappishly, “I should be the one to go back and ask you the question.” Finishing his words, he sneered at Yu Haitang, who appeared calm, “Mr. Yu, you are already so old, but you still flirt with girls. How leisure you are!”

Yu Haitang looked calm and raised his neck slightly, which was Sima Ray’s favorite movement. Leng Changxi was very familiar with it. Through the conversation between the two and the previous presumption, Leng Changxi knew that the old monster in front of him had Yu Haitang’s body and inner Qi. However, inside there was Sima Ray’s soul and consciousness. Therefore, he disgusted it even more.

“General Leng, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

“No, it’s not long,” Leng Changxi shook his head, smiling, “Your body is still lying in my camp. When I’m free, you can come over, see and mold it.” Seeing that Yu Haitang began to look a little pale, Leng Changxi said even more happily, “Mr. Yu, your words also remind me that yesterday when I was reading the report, I accidentally dropped a cup of hot tea on the body of Prince Ray. I was so anxious at that time that I forgot to wipe the tea. I wonder how the body was now.”

Yu Haitang’s face became stiff. However, soon he came to realize that Leng Changxi was trying to agitate him. He shook his head and gave out a girlish smile, which was like Qiu Shuihan’s look when she was tempting Leng Changxi, “It’s up to you. The life or death of the body is none of my business.” Yu Haitang raised his head to look at the black-armored soldiers and the Leng Army all over the tree and smiled, “It seems that you are not so sure of yourself. You’ve brought so many people here. Why? Are you afraid of losing to me?”

“Oh. No,” Leng Changxi squinted at Yu Haitang, “I’m afraid that the scene of my victory might be too bloody. In case you are torn apart by any chance, nobody will clean up the mess.”

Yu Haitang sneered, “Why are you so confident? Do you really think that you are still dealing with the incompetent whose hair was cut off by your attack on the wall? Leng Changxi, you are still the previous person, but I’m not the previous me anymore.”

Leng Changxi nodded, “Indeed. You’ve become more and more abnormal.”

Yu Haitang was irritated. He slapped the thick pine tree beside him. A long machete dropped directly from the tree, which was the world-famous Crescent Blade. It was half a foot long and weighed 38 kilograms. The double-edged blade was so sharp that it could cut iron as if cutting the mud. Because it was too powerful, once its user lack of the technology to use it, he might get hurt easily. However, as long as he could use it well, it would show endless power. Leng Changxi didn’t know when Yu Haitang changed to such a powerful weapon. He knew clearly, however, that the reason Yu Haitang chose it was that it was exactly opposite to his long black-iron spear.

Yu Haitang’s martial arts were no longer the simple combination of Sima Ray and Qiu Shuihan. It was a mystery how many people’s martial arts were taken away by him during this period. Every move of his attack seemed to be from an expert. Leng Changxi squinted slightly, pushed Qin Yunuan behind his back, and ordered Heiying, “Take care of her and ensure her safety.”

Qin Yunuan called in a low voice, “Changxi.” Before she could say “Be careful”, Leng Changxi had already jumped up the tree and took down the hidden long black-iron spear from the tree. As soon as he landed, Yu Haitang gave him an attack with full strength, which an over-90-year-old man like Yu Haitang could never have.

Apparently, after Sima Ray used his own consciousness to control Yu Haitang’s body, he absorbed many people’s martial arts again.

Struck by this sudden attack, Leng Changxi had to take a few steps backward and leaned against the tree suddenly. He had obviously come to realize that a rush of blood gushed from his internal organs, but since Qin Yunuan was looking at him, he had to swallow down the dirty blood not to make her worry. He merely smiled, “It seems that even though you’ve taken away so many people’s martial arts, you can do nothing more than that.”

“Nothing more than that?” Yu Haitang smiled provocatively, “Then why are you retreating?”

Leng Changxi didn’t speak but wiped the corner of his lips with the sleeve under his armor, “Only by stepping back can I see clearly how disgusting you are.”

Yu Haitang switched the direction of his blade and plugged it in the ground, “Leng Changxi, do you really think that I call Third Miss Qin here only because I want to get her? It’s because if I call her to come here, you will definitely follow her. Once I kill you and take everything from you, she will surely belong to me. You will die at my hands sooner or later. I know that you’ve mastered the Qigong of Tongming Gate. However, no matter how great Qigong is, can you beat my combination of so many masters’ martial arts? Next year, this day will be the anniversary of your death.”

Yu Haitang’s words seemed to show that he was ready to spread all the humiliation and anger he had been suffering in this confrontation. Leng Changxi took a deep breath, running all the genuine energy in his body immediately. It was a great taboo to run genuine energy all over his body at a moment, but Leng Changxi had no other choice now. The man in front of him was so terrible. His ability had gone beyond human. He was a monster that could never be defeated.

Yu Haitang raised his lips. Using the strength of his five fingers, the Crescent Blade plugged from a distance directly fell into his hands. He was exercising all his strength. Just now, he merely used 70 percent of his strength to beat Leng Changxi into such a situation. Now he wanted to hit Leng Changxi’s to make him die directly with one single attack.

When the two were about to fight against each other, Leng Changxi seemed to have felt Yu Haitang’s powerful area eroding every inch of his skin and cells. At the very moment, Leng Changxi felt that Yu Haitang’s Crescent Blade stopped over the top of his head. He looked back, only to find that Heiying, coming at an unknown time, had already blocked Yu Haitang’s powerful attack with the long sword inherited from his ancestors. Heiying seldom used this sword because he loved it so much. Besides, it was so hard that someone must get hurt the moment it was used in a fight. However, at that time, the ancient sword of Cang Family faintly made a sound as if it would be broken the next moment. The cracking sound made Heiying uneasy.

“General, hurry to go away,” Heiying used all his strength to resist Yu Haitang’s overpowered attack. Immediately he vomited a big mouthful of blood and said while trembling, “Just now, the spy came to report that Yu Haitang had an ambush around. There’s also a formation on our way back. I’ve used some talismans to suppress it, but the time is limited. We’ve only had the time to burn out incense. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late.”

It turned out that Yu Haitang had already made the preparation for both sides. He didn’t expect that Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi could come back alive.

However, how could Leng Changxi leave Heiying here alone? Not to mention him, even though Heiying, Leng Wu, and he cooperated together, they still wouldn’t be able to beat Yu Haitang now. Leaving Heiying alone was equivalent to pushing him to death.

“General, please go! Go before it’s too late,” Heiying was still struggling. Yu Haitang’s face had already changed slowly from pale to a slightly scary red. There was also a powerful wind behind him, causing the fallen leaves to roll and turn.

Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan were still hesitating. Leng Changxi had always been the calmest one in the past. He could always weigh the pros and cons at the most critical time and made decisive decisions. However, having got along with Heiying for such a long time, his heart also softened.

No. Everything should serve the overall situation.

Leng Changxi led Qin Yunuan to leave. The moment Qin Yunuan turned to leave, Heiying smiled bitterly, “Madam, please tell Leng Shuang for me that if I can return alive, I will marry her.”

“All right,” Qin Yunuan turned her head. To save time, Leng Changxi directly carried Qin Yunuan on his back. On the other hand, Maner was carried on the back of the person who was best at light skills in the Leng Army. The group of people ran quickly along the high pine tree and the previous marks.

Seeing that the group of people was about to leave, Yu Haitang really wanted to kick Heiying in front of him directly. However, Heiying suddenly got the mysterious strength to block him.

Yu Haitang kicked in the heart of Heiying, but Heiying only trembled slightly twice, then the look in his eyes became firmer. Yu Haitang got angry. He continued to kick Heiying in his heart several times, but Heiying still didn’t move.

“You’re asking for death,” Yu Haitang exercised his genuine energy silently and slapped directly on the top of Heiying’s skull. Even though Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi had gone far, they could still hear the screams behind them through the overlapping leaves. Leng Changxi frowned, and Qin Yunuan had already closed her eyes unbearably.

The wind by their ears was like helping them to accelerate. Soon, Leng Changxi carried Qin Yunuan on his back to a relatively safe place. At least they had stepped out of the formation set by Yu Haitang previously. Through visual inspection, Yu Haitang wouldn’t chase them here any longer. After all, it was too close to the camp of West Xia. If Yu Haitang brought people here rashly, even though he had the ability to reach the sky, there was still more harm than good to him.

Leng Changxi put down Qin Yunuan, turned his head and said, “I’ll rescue Heiying.”

“Changxi,” Qin Yunuan blocked him subconsciously. However, feeling that Leng Changxi was determined to leave, Qin Yunuan opened her mouth but said a sentence only, “Be careful.” Then she remained silent.

Leng Changxi nodded, then jumped up and left. Looking at Leng Changxi’s back, Qin Yunuan sighed. Having fought against Yu Haitang today, she had deeply realized how terrifying Yu Haitang was.

“Okay. We shall go back first. But remember, the news that General doesn’t come back should be kept as a secret. Everything should go on as usual. If I ever hear any message that the military is unstable, none of you can escape my punishment.” Now Leng Changxi was the soul of the army. He couldn’t have any accident. Otherwise, once the unity of the army was destroyed, it would be a great problem.

Just when Qin Yunuan reached the entrance of the military camp, she found that Leng Shuang was waiting for her anxiously. Thinking that Heiying could hardly escape the disaster, there was guilt in Qin Yunuan’s eyes when she looked at Qin Yunuan. To her surprise, Leng Shuang stepped forward and said, “Madam, it can’t be worse! Sima Ray’s body has disappeared!”
