Chapter 273: Chapter 159 Objective_2

These two individuals, one hand technique surprisingly multifaceted, ethereal and unpredictable.

The other was like Jinghong Fenguang, as swift as a shooting star.

In the thunderous instant when they clashed, Liu Yun Scholar crumbled upon contact, his entire body sent flying more than three zhang away, his face instantly turning pale:

“Jinghong Fenguang hand?!”

As these words fell, he turned and fled.

This strike was his premeditated plot; he knew well that the Black Clothed Man would not stand idly by.

Hence, the Liu Yun Hand Technique was kept in restraint, waiting until the Black Clothed Man made his move—only then did he boldly launch an attack, repelling the Qilin Swordsman with a palm, and immediately thereafter, leveraging the Hand Power of the Black Clothed Man to escape the battleground.

And at this very moment, as the Black Clothed Man forcefully received a blow from Liu Yun Hand Technique and the Qilin Swordsman’s inner breath ceased, it was an excellent opportunity for his own escape.

What he didn’t anticipate was that the Black Clothed Man would execute the Jinghong Fenguang hand!

A shock spread through his heart, a whirlwind of thoughts fleeting by, but this was not the time for careful contemplation. With a push of his toes, he intended to soar into the sky.

“If you’re capable, then don’t run!”

The Qilin Swordsman, furiously, couldn’t allow his meticulously planned pursuit to end in vain.

He turned to look at the Black Clothed Man and saw him holding his chest with one hand, apparently having suffered internal injuries, and thus was momentarily unable to pursue; instead, he watched over the Black Clothed Man with concern.

The Black Clothed Man quietly observed the departing silhouette of Liu Yun Scholar and slightly sighed.

Then with a flick of his fingertips, one could see the Liu Yun Scholar, who had almost run out of sight, suddenly tremble all over.

Followed by his feet, hands, wrists, ankles, chest, and back…

At least sixteen acupoints burst and bled simultaneously!

On his face was a mix of shock and joy.

And a sense of fortune that, despite imminent disaster, there still might be a sliver of hope.

But right then and there, all of it turned into a look of desperation.

Turning back to face the Black Clothed Man, he saw him standing tall; the hand previously pressed to the chest slowly lowered.

Where was any hint of injury?

The Qilin Swordsman felt as if he had been deceived, unable to help but glare at the Black Clothed Man, his earlier words of concern ready to spill, yet unbeknownst to him, all had been a pretense.

“What is the meaning of this?

“Playing what role with such… acting?”

The harsh words almost escaped his lips, but remembering the history shared between them, he dared not voice them out.

The Black Clothed Man glanced at him: “The younger generation at home is somewhat more elusive than expected. The Mandarin Duck List matters greatly; as I’ve traced this path, I have always felt subtly observed and had to check if there truly was a Huang Que following.

“If it’s really so…”

The rest of the sentence remained unsaid, but the Qilin Swordsman understood.

Immediately rolling his eyes: “That’s the difference between being cared for and neglected. We siblings are the neglected ones.”

“If neglected, back then you would have been thrown into a filthy ditch. How then could you have learned such skills to the extent of having the capability to seek revenge?”

The Black Clothed Man cast a glance at the Qilin Swordsman.

The Qilin Swordsman thought for a moment, but had no quick retort, instead, he quietly sighed:

“In this regard, indeed, we must thank you, otherwise, we two… even if we had survived a catastrophe, would not have seen this day.

“But why, since your arrival, have you mysteriously appeared and not simply captured the person.

“Was all this confusion merely a suspicion that they were following you, thus intentionally playing this release and capture ruse?”

“… Not exactly.”

The Black Clothed Man approached where Liu Yun Scholar lay while speaking: “If it really was a ’catch by releasing’, I should’ve used this individual as bait, to see if anyone would surface. Rather than just let go to the level I did now… Alas, this individual is genuinely important, even I have lost a measure of patience.”

He casually lifted Liu Yun Scholar off the ground.

Liu Yun Scholar hadn’t died, but he was completely immobile.

The Inner Strength that the Black Clothed Man had infused with his Jinghong Fenguang hand shattered his meridians as that single finger of the Black Clothed Man exploded.

Yet, the control was just perfect.

All meridians broken, but the Heart Meridian remained perfectly intact without the slightest damage.

Although incapacitated and martial arts wasted, his life was still unharmed.

This precise control was a feat unmatched by many.

Liu Yun Scholar, hanging from the Black Clothed Man’s grasp, still attempted to reach for the Black Clothed Man’s mask:

“You… you indeed are… the remnant of past years?

“Are you… are you really Yang Yizhi?”

The Black Clothed Man’s eyes remained indifferent as he calmly spoke:

“Yang Yizhi… wasn’t he poisoned to death by you?”

“…”

Liu Yun Scholar was left speechless by the retort.

Yang Yizhi had indeed taken his last breath before him, that was beyond doubt.

But if it wasn’t Yang Yizhi… Then who could it be?

He struggled to move his hand, but despite exerting all his strength, he couldn’t manage it.

He could only be carried by the Black Clothed Man, to the base of a tree.

The Qilin Swordsman, meanwhile, began to prattle as he went about cleaning up the traces of the fight…

After all, it was uncertain whether the people from Three Extremes Sect would return to inspect the scene.

The Sect of Three Extremes is always cautious, especially the Heavenly Gate Master, inscrutable, no one knows what is on his mind.

What if, driven by a sudden fancy, he decides to check if there is any continuity to this incident?

Therefore, it is a must to make sure there is not a single trace left, only then can we be truly at ease.
