Chapter 481: If You Stop Me Again, I’ll Kill You!
Qi Qingfeng’s disciple had been attacked halfway through his journey.
However, before the other party could finish speaking, the phone was hung up. The situation was very dangerous. During such a dire situation, the Tang family had to utilize their energy and resources to identify the location of the other party based on the most recently communicated address of the phone.
…
Pearl River, on a private yacht from Macau to Hong Kong.
At the moment, the yacht was brimming with bloodthirst. Two groups of people were attacking each other, with continuous screams being background to the blood-soaked deck and surrounding river water.
“Who are you people? Why are you attacking us?”
A young man in a black suit was holding the copper box in his hand to his chest in an effort to protect it. His eyes were wide as he kept his gaze trailed on the men in black who had them surrounded.
His name was Yu Yang.
He was Qi Qingfeng’s eldest disciple. He had been raised by Qi Qingfeng from a young age and was taught all his skills. Therefore, after receiving Qi Qingfeng’s call, he took the token and made his way to Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, when the yacht was halfway through its journey, a group of people had suddenly ambushed them by surfacing from the river. Their figures were ghost-like as they surprised them.
However, the other party had advantage in numbers. Witnessing the tragic deaths of the people he had brought with him one after another, it pained his heart so much that he could barely breathe.
“Senior brother, you must leave first. We’ll stay behind to fend off the attackers!”
“You must complete the master’s mission!”
A man in a black suit gritted his teeth, before suddenly pushing Yu Yang into the river. Then, he pulled out a grenade and charged at the group of black-clothed people in front of him with a crazed expression.
“Hahaha, let’s die together!”
“No! No!” Yu Yang shrieked repeatedly.
Boom!
In a series of loud explosions, the entire yacht was immediately engulfed in huge flames The flames shot up into the sky, resembling a huge mushroom cloud.
The scorching heat from the explosion assaulted him. Yu Yang held back the grief that weighed his heart down and dived into the water. He kept swimming towards the east side of the Pearl River estuary.
Escape!
As long as he could escape to the port, he would have a way out!
However, when he had reached an open area, his entire body was frozen still in response to a black shadow who was faintly running towards him from afar. It was as though the shadow was gliding over the river water.
Could it be the master?
Yu Yang’s heart was filled with pure joy. However, when he saw the other party’s face clearly, his heart sank.
It was a young man dressed in black. The other party looked sickly, gray hair framing his temples. He held a piece of tissue in his hand and covered his mouth. Every few steps he took, he would cough, as though his voice had worked a heavy bellow.
However, Yu Yang knew better than to underestimate him.
This was because anyone with the ability to walk across the river was either a martial arts grandmaster or an Illuminating God expert. Regardless of whatever he was, it was not someone that he, a Dao entry cultivator, could deal with.
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed young man appeared in front of Yu Yang. The other party coughed a few times before lowering his head to look at Yu Yang in the water. “Hand it over and I will let you go!”
“Senior, I’m Yu Yang, the disciple of Master Qi Qingfeng from Macau and Hong Kong…” Yu Yang involuntarily gripped the copper box in his hand tightly, attempting to intimidate the other party by revealing his master’s name.
“Qi Qingfeng?”
The young man’s face was sickly red. “I’ve never heard of him. A mere ant from the secular world thinks he’s worthy of calling himself a master?”
Seeing the other party’s arrogance, Yu Yang’s heart sank completely.
The young man coughed non-stop, extending a hand towards Yu Yang. “Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I can only take it by force!”
His hand looked like dried tree bark, black and wrinkled. It did not look like a young man’s hand at all, more so the hand of a hundred-year-old man.
They were very cold, very cold!
Yu Yang wanted to resist.
However, he was shocked to find that he could not move. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had binded him!
The next moment he knew, the copper box in his hand had fallen into the hands of the young man. The copper box shattered, revealing a black token. Written on it was a large, twisted character: ‘Si’!
Yu Yang closed his eyes in despair.
His group of more than ten had convoyed the copper box there, having to pay the price of many lives. He was the only one remaining. Who would have thought that it would still be in vain!
‘Master, what exactly is this copper box? It has intrigued so many mysterious people and experts!’
“Your surname is Yu, it sounds like Yu’er. I won’t kill you…”
Yu Yang was already prepared to die.
However, shortly after, he realized that there was no movement beside him. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the young man from before had already disappeared. There was not a single person residing on the surface of the river.
At that very moment, a piercing light ripped in the distance and was carried over by the wind. Moments later, the piercing light had halted right beside him, and from the light three figures landed from above him.
They were Ye Chen, Qi Qingfeng, and Yinshi.
“Yang’er!”
Qi Qingfeng hurriedly scooped Yu Yang up from the water. He was worried as he examined Yu Yang’s body before looking around.
“Master, your disciple has let you down!”
Yu Yang fainted on the spot.
…
On the vast river.
The black-clothed young man coughed as he walked. In the presence of the vicious sea’s winds, he looked lonesome. However, one of his hands continued to hold onto the token tightly.
He muttered to himself, “Yu’er, fifty years have passed. I have finally obtained the key. Wait for me, for I will come and find you very soon! ”
At that very moment, three ghostly figures materialized on the surface of the river, surrounding the young man closely. The leader was a menacing old man. “Shi Qianhan, you have gone overboard with your mischief. ”
“That’s right. We’ve painstakingly cultivated our powers for decades to obtain that netherworld token. We were about to have our way with it, yet you had the gall to stop us!” The old woman from the three figures looked especially miserable.
“Shi Qianhan, hand over the Netherworld token and I’ll spare your life!”
“…”
The three people were fuming.
The black-clothed man coughed violently. His gaze was extremely clear, as if he did not see the threat of these people. His footsteps did not stop, and he continued walking into the distance.
“Alright! You actually have the gall to ignore us!”
The three of them flew into a rage, launching a coordinated attack against him.
In the end, they discovered that the young man had actually phased through their bodies. In the blink of an eye, he appeared a thousand meters away.
“I only want to see my Yu’er. If you stop me again, I’ll kill you!”
The three of them were dumbfounded.
Inside the Tang family’s villa in Hong Kong.
Ye Chen looked at Yu Yang who had regained his consciousness, frowning, “In other words, the copper box in your hand was stolen by that black-clothed man, and in reality, he hadn’t killed you?”
“Yes!”
Yu Yang nodded. His face has gone pale. “We met two groups of people. The first group killed everyone they saw without a word. It was only that young man who spoke to me.”
“Who exactly are they? Didn’t you ask at all?”
Qi Qingfeng was extremely distraught.
This was because more than ten people on their side had died, one of them being his disciple.
What enraged him the most was…
After Yu Yang and the others had revealed his identity, the other party still had the gall to make a move. It was evident that they did not take him seriously.
“I asked, but they refused to answer.”
Yu Yang shook his head, a bitter smile playing on his lips. “But I’m certain that the young man in black is not from the same group as the first. Their method of doing things is different.”
At that point, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Qi Qingfeng, looking as though he had something to say, but hesitated instead.
“If you remember anything, just say it. There’s no need to hold back.” Qi Qingfeng was obviously impatient.
Yu Yang hesitated one more before speaking, “Master, when I met that young man in black, I exposed your name, but he said he had never heard of you, and… said that a mere ant in the secular world was not qualified to call himself a master.”
Qi Qingfeng was furious at first, but looked as though he had recalled something crucial. “Could the other party be…?! “
