Chapter 102: Ambushed on All Sides

Jiang Xincheng looked at the utterly miserable Lou Haiyue with an expression of complete indifference. He stared coldly at her, showing no trace of pity in his eyes. Towards this female demon who killed without mercy, even though she was somewhat good-looking, Jiang Xincheng did not care at all.

“You bastard! You damn bastard! I will kill you! Give me back my Primordial Force! Give me back my Dantian!” After wailing miserably for a long time, Lou Haiyue, her face twisted fiercely, lunged at Jiang Xincheng. Her hands flailed, her bright red nails gleaming with an eerie light as she clawed towards Jiang Xincheng’s face.

Jiang Xincheng kicked out, sending Lou Haiyue flying directly into the wall. The pain made her clutch her stomach and collapse, unable to get up for a long time. Only then did she realize the gap between her and Jiang Xincheng. Although her face still showed intense resentment, she no longer dared to lunge at him.

“Who are you? Why are you targeting me like this? Where did I offend you? Why are you using such cruel methods against me?” Lou Haiyue stared fixedly at Jiang Xincheng, the hatred in her eyes almost shooting out.

A trace of mockery flickered at the corner of Jiang Xincheng’s mouth. “For a vicious woman like you, everyone has the right to punish you. What reason is needed?”

“You…” Lou Haiyue’s face turned cold as she glared fiercely at Jiang Xincheng. “The ones I killed were all those disgusting men who played with two women. I was eliminating scum for the people. What did I do wrong?”

“Then what about your ex-husband, his wife, and his son? Why did you kill their whole family?” Jiang Xincheng’s mouth curled with a hint of ridicule as he spoke coldly.

Lou Haiyue’s face changed. She shouted, “So you know about me that clearly. It seems you are deliberately opposing me. That ex-husband of mine was also trash who played with two women. He said he would love me forever, but he actually married another woman. So I had to kill his entire family, and I will kill all the heartless men in the world.”

“And what about you? I heard your ex-husband left you because you had an affair, which is why he divorced you. Since you were already divorced, it was only natural for him to marry someone else. How does that count as playing with two women?” Jiang Xincheng said mockingly.

Lou Haiyue gritted her teeth and said sharply, “Everyone makes mistakes. I just made a small mistake back then. It was bad enough that he didn’t forgive me, but he also divorced me and found another woman. Tell me, doesn’t a man like that deserve to die? Doesn’t his whole family deserve to die?”

“You are so shameless, what more can I say?” Jiang Xincheng no longer wanted to continue speaking with this selfish and vicious woman. He said indifferently, “Let’s go. As long as I hand you over to the Ministry of Justice, my mission will be complete.”

“The Ministry of Justice?” Lou Haiyue’s face changed again, and she looked at Jiang Xincheng in terror. “You are a lackey of the Flourishing Tang Empire?”

“I am a probationary member of the Flourishing Tang Empire. I accepted the Three-Star Quest to kill you. As long as I can collect your head, I can become a formal member of the Flourishing Tang Empire.” Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly, picked up the limp Lou Haiyue, and started walking outside. “Let’s go. So many people you killed are waiting for you underground. Come back with me to the Flourishing Tang Empire’s prison, reform for a few days, and then go meet them.”

“I won’t go! Let me go, you Flourishing Tang Empire dog! I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” Lou Haiyue screamed and struggled in Jiang Xincheng’s grasp. But given her current state, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free from Jiang Xincheng’s hold.

Jiang Xincheng pushed open the door and was about to take Lou Haiyue away from the Home Inn. But to his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a man wearing a black mask burst out from the room opposite. His fists moved like mountains, the power of Arhat Fist executed to the extreme, heavily slamming towards Jiang Xincheng’s vital core.

At the same time, from both left and right sides of Jiang Xincheng, two men wearing black masks, each at the Bone Tempering Late Stage, charged at him. One drew a long knife, the other unsheathed a sharp sword, stabbing towards Jiang Xincheng’s neck and heart.

Suddenly ambushed by three Primordial Warriors at the Bone Tempering Late Stage, Jiang Xincheng was also abruptly startled. But what a Jiang Xincheng! Truly worthy of being a battle-hardened warrior who had experienced decades of bloody storms. At this critical moment, he casually threw Lou Haiyue towards the room behind him.

On the wall of the room, accompanied by a loud crash, a person forcefully broke through the wall from the next room and charged in. With a swing of his fists, he aimed to strike Jiang Xincheng from behind, intending to kill him.

But what this person didn’t expect was that at that very moment, Jiang Xincheng threw Lou Haiyue, this human sandbag, right at his face. This Bone Tempering Late Stage masked man had not yet landed his fists on Jiang Xincheng when he was struck by the human sandbag, forcing him to retreat hastily. His punch aimed at Jiang Xincheng naturally missed.

In anger, this black-masked man kicked Lou Haiyue in the backside, sending her flying heavily to the ground with a scream.

At the doorway, after resolving the crisis of being ambushed from four sides, Jiang Xincheng was not at ease. Before him still stood three Primordial Warriors at the Bone Tempering Late Stage, each with strength not inferior to his own. The three exerted their full power, their faces cold and severe, clearly intent on killing Jiang Xincheng.

At this life-and-death moment, Jiang Xincheng did not retreat but instead advanced. Instead of falling back into the temporarily safe room, he charged forward directly. Using his shoulder, he forcibly endured a fierce blow from the Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warrior in front of him. Along with the sharp pain in his shoulder, a black-red light suddenly flashed at Jiang Xincheng’s waist, like a fluttering butterfly. Under the horrified gaze of the Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warrior before him, the fluttering butterfly landed on his throat.

Bright red blood spurted out. Jiang Xincheng, bathed in blood, rushed into the room of this Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warrior, evading the vicious knife and sword from his left and right.

But to Jiang Xincheng’s surprise, as soon as he rushed into this room, he saw two palm strikes, hard as metal, heavily slamming towards him, aimed directly at his internal organs, extremely malicious and sinister.

At this critical moment, Jiang Xincheng naturally employed the Five Elements Steps. At the last possible moment, he dodged the vital spots, but his shoulder was struck by the palm blade. His clothes were torn, and blood flew. Another large, bloody wound appeared on Jiang Xincheng’s shoulder.

After narrowly escaping this strike, Jiang Xincheng headed straight for the window. He crashed through the window in one move and disappeared from the window frame.

The man who had ambushed Jiang Xincheng in the room saw him jump out of the window and escape. His face changed, and he too rushed to the window, leaning out to see where Jiang Xincheng had landed so he could pursue and kill him.

But his act of leaning out became the last action of his life. As his head appeared at the window, Jiang Xincheng, who had been clinging to the window ledge below, suddenly surged upwards. His Mysterious Steel Sword danced, the Butterfly Sword Art executed to its peak, and with one move, he severed the man’s head, sending it dropping to the ground.

This Bone Tempering Late Stage expert became the second Bone Tempering Late Stage Primordial Warrior to fall by Jiang Xincheng’s hand.

After killing this person, Jiang Xincheng looked at the three Bone Tempering Late Stage black-masked men charging frantically towards him. A cold expression crossed his face. He circulated the Primordial Force within his body, gathering it at his feet, then leaped up and landed on the windowsill of the adjacent room.

But as soon as Jiang Xincheng’s feet touched down, he saw sword lights flickering before him. Two Bone Tempering Mid Stage Primordial Warriors swung their swords into a blur of flowers, slashing towards Jiang Xincheng’s feet.
