121: Chapter 121 Save me... 121: Chapter 121 Save me... A figure emerged hastily from within the cemetery, looking slightly disheveled. After a quick glance around, the person headed straight towards Bai Xiaofan. Because Bai Xiaofan was situated in the direction that led down the mountain. Right behind the first figure, about five or six more people burst out from the cemetery. It seemed they were in much better condition than the first one, having suffered no serious injuries! No sooner had these people emerged than they started chasing after the first person. When the first figure passed beneath a street lamp ahead, Bai Xiaofan’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly with a trace of surprise surfacing in his heart, “Damn, how could it be Chu Yuyan, that girl, again?” She appeared to be a gentle and beautiful woman, so why did she always enjoy wandering about late at night? The first time was in someone else’s villa, and now in a desolate cemetery, geez, does this girl have some kind of special hobby? The most crucial point was that both encounters with her involved her being chased by others! However, Bai Xiaofan didn’t chase after the group. Instead, he waited until they were a distance away before quietly sneaking back into the cemetery to find those guys who had been injured by Chu Yuyan. “Who are you?” A few huddled assassins, looking at Bai Xiaofan who suddenly appeared, asked arrogantly. “What the hell does it matter to you, got anything valuable on you? Hand it all over!” As soon as Bai Xiaofan finished speaking, he began to search them, and soon found a black notebook on one of them. As for things like wallets, he simply tossed them aside. “Kid, you’re courting death, daring to rob someone from our King!” The man from whom Bai Xiaofan had found the black notebook couldn’t help but threaten as he saw Bai Xiaofan about to leave. “King? What’s that? Considering your threat, I’ve decided you all must die!” Bai Xiaofan murmured a response and silently noted the name of the organization in his mind. At the fall of his voice, he struck with the palm of his hand, unleashing a burst of force that instantly killed the few already severely injured unlucky fellows. In their wildest dreams, they would not have imagined that they, who could have been spared, were thoroughly deprived of their lives because of a single remark from their companion. Perhaps... if they had known that Bai Xiaofan’s actions were so decisive and ruthless, they might have tried to stop their companion’s words even at the cost of their lives. “King, Group A!” Looking at the characters on the black notebook, Bai Xiaofan realized that these people must be members of Group A from the King organization. It seemed that King had many members! On the road down the mountain, Bai Xiaofan followed the bloodstains on the ground, heading in the direction Chu Yuyan and the others had left. “Mèi Yǐng, if you want to die quickly, hand over the item now!” “Don’t even think about it, since I’ve got it, it should be mine. You people from King are shameless, failing to snatch it during the mission and now pursuing me all the way here!” “Enough talk, I’m asking you one more time, are you going to hand it over or not?” “Hmph, I would rather give it to the people of Long Lin than hand it over to you!” “You’re seeking death!” As Bai Xiaofan turned a corner, he heard the exchange and the subsequent sounds of combat from the alley, causing him to frown slightly. From Chu Yuyan’s conversation with these people, it appeared she had something on her person that the others wanted to obtain. Bai Xiaofan was just about to rush out to play the hero and save the beauty when he saw a black object suddenly appear in Chu Yuyan’s hand, seemingly a dagger. As soon as the dagger appeared, a streak of blood-red light flashed forth. “Hmph, I didn’t expect you really had it on you!” one of the men said with a sneer after his companion was taken by surprise and killed. He seemed to be the leader and threw a punch toward Chu Yuyan. Bang! Although the dagger had strengthened her, Chu Yuyan was heavily injured earlier in the tomb and was now caught off-guard, facing the coordinated attacks of several masters. She was still struck by the punch. However, Chu Yuyan was a fierce fighter. Even as she was hit, she viciously slashed the man’s neck with the dagger in her hand. In the back-and-forth struggle, when only three men were left, Chu Yuyan nearly lost all her fighting ability, and the dagger also dropped at her feet. “So this is all the ‘Phantom’ is capable of, huh? I thought you were something special. Daring to offend our King’s people, you overestimate yourself!” said one of the men as he picked up the dagger, examining it before jeering at Chu Yuyan. By then, Chu Yuyan was in extremely bad shape; her delicate face was deathly pale without a hint of color. If it weren’t for the wall she was leaning against, she might have already collapsed. But Chu Yuyan had no regrets. Even if she were to die now, it would still be the same. After all, she had already left money for her sister. “Time to die!” With a loud shout, the remaining three men attacked Chu Yuyan at almost the same instant. Forget her current heavily injured state; even at her peak, Chu Yuyan wouldn’t have been able to fend them off. And so, Chu Yuyan resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes, quietly waiting for death to come. But... After waiting a long time, she felt no pain. Chu Yuyan opened her eyes in confusion and saw a handsome face staring at her. “I’ve already dealt with them for you. How are you going to thank me?” Bai Xiaofan searched the men’s bodies and found a transparent small bottle on one of them, containing half a vial of red liquid. He pocketed it nonchalantly and looked at Chu Yuyan with interest, who was staring back in surprise. “How could it be you?” Chu Yuyan asked incredulously. “Who else did you think it would be?” Bai Xiaofan leaned against the wall and replied with a teasing smile. “Saving me...” Chu Yuyan left these words before she passed out, leaving Bai Xiaofan exasperated. Carrying Chu Yuyan in his arms, Bai Xiaofan didn’t go far. He found a small inn not too far away, rented a room, and laid her on the bed. He had already examined Chu Yuyan’s injuries. Though they seemed severe, they weren’t fatal. She wouldn’t die, and it would be all right to treat her later. What concerned him more now was the dagger he had picked up off the ground. Examining the dagger over and over in his hands, Bai Xiaofan’s doubts grew. The unremarkable black dagger didn’t seem special at all. Why had those men so desperately fought over it? After pondering over it for a while without any conclusion, Bai Xiaofan put the dagger away, deciding to use his ‘Perspective Eye’ once his Qi Cultivation became more robust and his Immortal Essence more plentiful to figure out its secrets. Looking at Chu Yuyan, who was now drenched in blood, Bai Xiaofan sighed helplessly, took off her clothes, and wiped her down with alcohol. “You’re really hurt quite badly. If the cut had been half an inch higher, it would’ve been on a vital spot!” Bai Xiaofan exclaimed, while gradually, a layer of Immortal Essence began to cover his palm...
