Soon, a soldier rushed in and reported, âReport, a few minutes again, Dongfang Advisor had left through a helicopter. As for where he went, we donât know yet.â
âWhat?â Qian Longtouâs face was pale. He didnât expect that Dongfang Xi actually dared to run away. He planned more than 90% of the tactics for Nan Qing, and he knew everything about Nan Qing. This Dongfang Xi was almost like the second-in-hand of Nan Qing, but he actually ran away.
Qian Longtouâs face kept changing, but he eventually calmed down. He knew Dongfang Xiâs wisdom all too well. If he could betray him and run away, it meant that Dongfang Xi no longer had any hopes for him? But he still had an army of 2000, was that not enough for a mere Ye Mo?
However, Qian Longtou was still sane. He immediately thought that Dongfang Xiâs tactics rarely failed. Even his viewpoints were mostly correct. Did he have to leave? Dongfang Xi could run, but where could he go? What place was safer that Sai Na for him?
Suddenly, he felt his control wasnât strong enough. There were too many loopholes in the chain of command. If one needed to contact him before using the helicopter, then Dongfang Xi wouldnât be able to run away as well. Moreover, he found that a few of his trusted men didnât need to be reported to come in. This was also a loophole.
Dongfang Xi was his advisor. There was no way he didnât know these loopholes, but he never reminded him. This meant that he was prepared to run a long time ago.
âGood one, Dongfang Xi, even if I look through the entire world, I will capture you back.â Qian Longtou said between clenched teeth as he smacked on the table.
âNo, I want to see how many heads and hands this Ye Mo has that forced even Dongfang Xi to betray me. Someone investigate the contents of that call. I will capture this Ye Mo. Iâll let him know that I, Qian Baihe, hasnât aged yet.â Qian Longtou didnât feel the pain in his hand at all and yelled once again.
âNo need, Iâm here already,â Ye Moâs plain voice sounded in the meeting room.
Qian Longtouâs voice came to a sudden stop. He looked at the door in astonishment. He had multiple levels of guards, so how did Ye Mo reach him without any sound?
Soon, he saw Lang Ji and his face became green again. âLang Ji, you heartless animal, you dare to betray me too. I will kill you.â
Qian Longtou was going to reach for his gun, but in his astonishment, he found that his wrists could no longer move. A bloody red color was spreading across it, yet he didnât even feel pain. Metal nail? The metal nail of the legends?
Lang Ji didnât say anything.
Qian Longtou saw his wrist was shot by a metal nail and his heart went cold. He knew he was gone today, but he didnât think Ye Mo would be this strong. He could come in front of him without him noticing at all. This was too absurd. Even with Lang Jiâs help, Lang Ji couldnât bring a stranger into his territory. Was his invisibility real?
Qian Longtou had calmed down and he looked slowly at Lang Ji and then Wu Qiang. He knew the only chance he had at living was for Wu Qiang to hold Ye Mo there, or perhaps get Lang Ji to turn sides again.
A teen in his 20s, however, came running in and didnât even care about Qian Longtou because he was Lang Jiâs close man; someone who Lang Ji brought into Nan Qing after he joined. He gave a letter to Lang Ji, saying, âBefore Advisor Dongfang left, he told me to give this to you, saying it can save your life.â
Lang Ji immediately opened the letter and there was just one line of words: âWhen you were surrounded and attacked at Macau those years ago, it was planned by Qian Longtou.â
Lang Jiâs face immediately changed. He didnât think that Qian Longtou, whom he had been so loyal for all this time, would use this type of means. Funny how he still worked with his life for more than a decade. He was worse than a pig.
No wonder every time he said he wanted to annihilate his adversary, Qian Lontou would just say that the time wasnât ready yet. So this was it. No wonder when he was running away, he just happened to meet Qian Longtou at Macau.
This was no coincidence; Qian Longtou liked to gamble, but he would never go to Macau to gamble.
When he first started working for Qian Longtou, Nan Qing wasnât as big as it was now. It could be said that there was a major share of work from him in Nan Qing. It could be imagined that Qian Longtou heard about his name. Although Lang Ji offended someone strong and ran to Macau, he still used means to get Lang Ji to work for him.
Lang Ji couldnât think why Qian Longtouâs advisor would give him this hint, and he didnât have the time to think. He just scrunched up the paper and threw it at Qian Longtou. âQian Baihe, no wonder youâre always delaying my revenge. It was done by yourself. F*ck, and I still say that I am indebted to you. Iâm going to kill you myself today.â
Ye Mo didnât look at the letter but he could see from Lang Jiâs infuriated expression that Qian Longtou seemed to have tricked him. He was thinking if he should kill Lang Ji after he was finished with his things, but now, it seemed that it was no hurry. Perhaps there was more use for Lang Ji.
Seeing Lang Ji charge towards Qian Longtou, Li Sandao immediately stopped Lang Ji. âLang Ji youâre injured now, youâre no match for me, I donât want to attack my brother.â
âBrother, f*ck off. Qian Longtou stabbed me in the back in order to get me to work for him, and I really thought he coincidentally saved me. Li San, are you also tricked by this bastard like me.â Lang Ji was furious.
Li Sandao shook his head however. âThe chairman did indeed save my life. I wonât let you attack.â
Li Sandao was very clear how Qian Longtou was like to him. When he was begging on the streets, if Qian Longtou didnât take him away, he wouldâve starved to death. He swore he would serve the chairman his entire life. However, his character was a bit clumsy, and there were many things he couldnât do. Although he was Qian Longtouâs most trusted man, he could only help lead Qian Longtouâs army, however, he didnât need to have the wisdom of Dongfang Xi to lead a hired army.
Ye Mo watched as Lang Ji and Li Sandao started fighting. They were actually evenly matched. It seemed that this Li Sandao was not bad.
Wu Qiangâs eyes turned. He wouldnât be loyal to Qian Longtou, but he still needed to test Ye Mo.
Although he felt he was no match for Xian Daoist, but he felt he wasnât far off. After all, he was only 30 or so, meanwhile this Ye Mo seemed younger than him. He didnât believe everyone had the same fortune as him. When he was 10, he met a master at Miao Jiang. He had been practicing martial arts for 26 years now, and was working very hard. He wouldnât be distracted due to other things. He loved women, but for martial arts, he could even refrain from sleeping with one for 3 years.
He didnât believe that Ye Mo, a mere 20 years old, could be a match for him.
âIâm Wu Qiang; although I know you have some powerful weapons or artefacts, but I still want to try if youâre really as strong as they say...â Wu Qiang smiled faintly and said. But before he finished, his leg had kicked out.
All of Wu Qiangâs power was on his legs, but his killing move wasnât on his leg. No one knew his killing move because those who knew were already dead. Although he just fought with Xian Daoist for a few rounds, it was just a test battle, so he never used his killing move.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The wind brought by his legs had a rhythm. Other than Ye Mo, no one could even feel it, but as soon as Wu Qiang attacked, Ye Mo knew he was much stronger than Lang Ji.
For someone like Wu Qiang, his invisibility was useless because he was only Stage 3 Chi Gathering. If he went invisible and used his chi, then Wu Qiang would feel it. However, invisibility without any chi and killing intent had no attacking effect.
Moreover, Ye Mo wanted to test how strong the masters here were, so he also kicked out.
Seeing Ye Mo actually kick to his leg, Wu Qiang surged with excitement. Even when Xiao Daoist was fighting him, he didnât dare to use his leg to clash with his. This Ye Mo was so naïve; he would certainly break his leg.
Bang! Bang! Bang! After a few clashing sounds, Ye Mo just felt his leg bones were a bit painful, but he stood where he was without moving. This was the first time he saw a normal martial artist train his leg to such a degree.
Wu Qiang took a few steps back. Although his legs didnât break, but that bone wrenching pain almost made him yell out. He looked at Ye Mo in shock. It was just a quick clash, but he already kicked more than 20 times. However, Ye Mo didnât even move and just used his legs to kick him away.
He never wouldâve thought that his legs would be kicked to pain by someone else. He already spent more than 20 years training his leg. Even if Ye Mo was training in his motherâs womb, he couldnât train his leg to be stronger than his.
As Ye Mo mobilized his chi, the pain disappeared. Wu Qiangâs leg was this strong. This was greatly out of Ye Moâs expectation, but Ye Mo didnât want to waste time. He flung out a metal nail casually.
Clink. Almost at the same time Ye Mo shot out the nail, a white light flashed at Wu Qiangâs sleeve, and the nail was blocked. However, Wu Qiang stumbled back a few steps and spat out blood.
Ye Mo was shocked. It was the first time his metal nails were blocked.
