Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 266 - 269 That Person

Xiao Yi wasn’t foolish. The moment he entered the villa and heard Lord Hong speak, he had already understood that he had misunderstood the monk that morning; the monk wasn’t the Jianghu Sorcerer he thought he was. His warning that morning had an implication!

And that implication was undoubtedly the man before him...

Although he didn’t recognize the monk and didn’t know why the monk knew these people were after him, or why he had kindly warned him, or even why he had told him to stay in school, there was one thing he was sure of. That was, earlier in the day, he had mistaken the monk’s kindness for malice. This monk bore no hostility towards him, only goodwill!

So, seeing the monk appear, Xiao Yi’s mind immediately relaxed.

"Kid, are you alright!"

The monk, who had been readying himself for an intense fight, was shocked to see Xiao Yi suddenly coughing up blood and collapsing. He immediately reined in his combativeness, forgetting his desire to settle the score with the beardless pale-faced man. He rushed over to Xiao Yi’s side with a look of panic, picked him up, and cried out anxiously.

As the monk withdrew his fighting intent, the beardless pale-faced man suddenly felt a weight lift from him, but before he could enjoy the relief, a pained expression crossed his face. During the clash with Xiao Yi, he had been gravely injured due to a moment of carelessness. Even though he had managed to recover slightly after a short respite, the True Qi in this young man’s body was bizarre and overwhelmingly dominant. He had struggled immensely and still couldn’t erase it, as it solidly damaged many of his meridians!

Therefore, before the monk arrived, he was already at the end of his rope, only marginally better off than Xiao Yi. Although the monk hadn’t gotten a chance to strike him, the sheer intensity of his combativeness had already aggravated the near-exhausted man’s injuries.

But at this moment, he didn’t dare to pay attention to the pain, not even daring to show a hint of it, his gaze carrying a tinge of regret as he glanced at the monk and the young man lying on the ground, pale as paper. His eyes then flashed with a fierce determination, and with a whoosh, he dashed out of the villa’s entrance and disappeared into the night like a bolt of lightning.

Lord Hong hadn’t yet managed to grasp what was happening. Seeing the pale-faced man take off, he quickly followed suit despite the tumultuous feelings in his chest, disappearing at the doorway.

The monk held Xiao Yi tightly, his face filled with anxiousness as if he were about to go mad, completely ignoring the departure of the two.

"Such serious injuries, what to do now!"

After carrying Xiao Yi around for a bit, the monk finally thought to lay him down in a comfortable spot. But after scanning the room and finding the living room in complete disarray, with everything broken into fragments, including the comfortable genuine leather sofa, he looked upstairs.

Only then did his eyes brighten. He carried Xiao Yi upstairs swiftly. His steps seemed normal, but each covered a distance of three to four meters. Within a few strides, he was upstairs. Finding an empty room without caring if it was Xiao Yi’s, he gently laid Xiao Yi on the bed. He then reached out to grasp Xiao Yi’s wrist with a sense of urgency and started to probe.

"Eh?"

As soon as he took Xiao Yi’s hand and listened for a moment, the monk’s face involuntarily showed surprise and shock.

Good heavens, what has he discovered?

This young man, he actually had a breakthrough?

The monk thought he was mistaken, blinked hard, refocused, and once again a stream of Qi Mechanism slowly probed into Xiao Yi’s body...

Condensation Initial Tier!

The monk’s eyes widened, his face showing disbelief.

This kid, he must be around twenty, right? To have reached the Condensation period already?

That damned Lin scoundrel!

He truly intended to be this deadly!

But soon, the extreme surprise in the monk’s eyes vanished, replaced by a glint of intense anger and a sharp killing intent in those eyes that were always full of compassion.

He discovered that Xiao Yi’s injuries were much more severe than he had imagined! Inside his body, it was like a junkyard, all his internal organs were seriously damaged, and the injuries were severe throughout his meridians...

He had never imagined that a person’s injuries could be this grave!

And it was without a doubt the handiwork of that pale-faced man just now!

You Lin, you are truly ruthless!

This account, we’ll settle it sooner or later!

In the wake of his raging anger, the monk ultimately calmed down. At this critical moment, the most important thing was to find a way to save Xiao Yi.

But... how to save him?

Under the current circumstances, Xiao Yi was already no different from dead, with only a single breath still hanging on!

The monk released Xiao Yi’s hand, continually furrowing his brow, pacing back and forth in the room with a desperate look. In his mind, he was ceaselessly, bitterly meditating on how exactly he should save Xiao Yi. He himself wasn’t the Saint Hand of Apricot Grove; the little medical knowledge he possessed was simply acquired during his cultivation process to resolve problems that arose from it. Even if the Saint Hand of Apricot Grove, let alone a saint, even if a god arrived, facing Xiao Yi’s current condition, they might not necessarily have a solution...

Could it be, that this young kid really couldn’t escape this calamity and was going to vanish within it?

After a long while, the monk finally stopped pacing helplessly, looking at Xiao Yi with a face full of reluctance. Thinking about how his own momentary lapse had led to such consequences, a sense of panic instantly rose in his heart, and a strong sense of anger emerged in his chest. It was all because of that Lin! That Lin was too abominable!

But little kid, why didn’t you listen to my advice and insisted on leaving that school? As long as you were in the school, even if Lin had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t be able to touch you, right?

What to do now! If something truly happened to you, how could I, a poor monk, explain this to that person?

The monk, annoyed and helpless, stared at Xiao Yi, lying on the bed with only a wisp of breath that was almost non-existent.

School, school...

That’s it, school...

The monk’s eyes gradually brightened, becoming more and more luminous, and his expression also became increasingly excited...

Yes, the school, that person, he must have a way to save the young kid!

In this world, only he could save him!

But the monk’s excitement didn’t last long. Soon, his excited expression cooled down as if drenched by cold water. He was reminded of a realistic problem—would he... would he reach out to save him?

No matter what, if there’s a way, it must be tried!

At any cost, he must be asked to save the young kid!

He, Flying Monk, absolutely could not break his word, absolutely could not let anything happen to this young kid!

In the monk’s eyes, a resolute look flashed; without any more hesitation, he reached out, scooped up Xiao Yi, did not bother going downstairs, and leaped out of the second-floor window like a giant roc, merging into the night.

.........

At Fenghua Bar, Sun Hao was contentedly sitting in the corner where he usually sat, in a posture that was most comfortable for him, smoking a high-quality cigar brought by a friend, watching the colorful bustle inside the bar.

These days, it was rare for him to have such a relaxed moment.

His darling mistress, Hua Qingqing, also had matters to attend to and had gone out busily.

Actually, he was far from tired of this mistress; he could say he loved her to the bone now, even feeling a bit dependent on her. She was able to handle many things for him neatly and always provided timely assistance at critical moments.

But in the end, there’s no such thing as a perfect person in the world.

She was too clever, which undoubtedly put some pressure on him...

What’s more, even if the most perfect person in the world, Marilyn Monroe herself, were by your side every day, you’d still feel a bit stifled and yearn for some personal space, especially for a man...

And most importantly, those two mighty figures from Glass City had set out early today!

Ever since Lord Hong had returned from Glass City and brought with him someone who was said to be extraordinarily terrifying, even more formidable than Lord Hong, reaching the legendary Condensation Tier, he felt more pressure than excitement!

Whenever he thought of them, he felt an inexplicable pressure, living in constant fear...

Whether that person was stronger than Lord Hong, he didn’t know, but that man’s aura, those eyes, were definitely more intimidating than Lord Hong’s. Those seemingly calm eyes unnerved him; Sun Hao himself was no ordinary man, having weathered many storms and seen all kinds of characters, not in the least Lord Hong, a reclusive expert. In front of them, he could maintain his composure.

But every time he saw that beardless, pale man, he couldn’t help feeling a tremor in his heart, his legs starting to shake, especially when those eyes looked at him, as if... as if the light in those eyes could physically pierce through his soul, seeing through all his thoughts!

He had never seen such terrifying, such powerful eyes...
