Chapter 120: I'm Sorry, the Gun Went Off! (Part 1)
"I didn't expect that I would be this powerful now."
Wei Yuan had long realized that these people were different from the classmates he usually fought with at school; they had at least undergone special training. Based on his previous strength and Kung Fu skills, he estimated that even two of him wouldn't be able to withstand them, let alone easily take down one.
It seemed that after the process of absorbing Spiritual Energy, which cleansed his Dantian and permeated his entire body, he had indeed changed. Coupled with the set of boxing techniques Yang Ying had taught him and over a decade of continuous physical training, after this round of real combat, Wei Yuan finally understood that he was indeed somewhat different now.
"Cross the pond and chase that woman."
After witnessing Wei Yuan's ferocity, the three individuals decisively chose to pursue another target, presumably believing that the woman would be easier to handle. Given her evening gown, she certainly looked elegant; however, it was ill-suited for escaping. Such attire made even running a simple task seem difficult, not to mention self-defense.
Having assessed his own strength after this practical experience, Wei Yuan felt a surge of confidence. Seeing the others cross the pond to chase Yuan Ziyi, he shouted boldly, "Trying to run?"
He hadn't anticipated that the next move of these three would be to cross the pond, and for a moment they had gotten ahead of him. However, he quickly chased after them. Since their speed was insufficient to increase, Wei Yuan took the opportunity to grab the last person's back.
At this moment, Wei Yuan had no idea about their background or whether the leader in the distance with a gun intended to intimidate or was genuinely willing to shoot. In any case, his position was extremely dangerous, so Wei Yuan had no choice but to resolve things quickly.
The person grabbed by Wei Yuan turned around and swung a punch in retaliation. Wei Yuan dodged his fist and then applied several weak point techniques Yang Ying had taught him. First, he struck down with a knife-hand blow to the back of the man's neck, then transformed that knife-hand into a sharp fist aimed directly at his heart from behind.
At this point, Wei Yuan's strength was incredibly fierce. Coupled with targeting two weak points on the human body, the man collapsed to the ground unconscious from Wei Yuan's strike.
When the two individuals in front noticed that Wei Yuan was catching up and realized that their companion had fallen victim to him, they quickly rushed toward Yuan Ziyi.
"I didn't expect this kid to be a master."
The leader standing at a distance fully understood Wei Yuan's techniques at this moment and suddenly revealed a smile before running toward Wei Yuan's direction.
As Wei Yuan prepared to cross the shallow pond in front of him, he discovered that the ground beneath his feet was soft mud, which slightly hindered his movement. He could only watch as the two individuals rushed toward Yuan Ziyi, while he slowly lifted his foot out of the mud. At that moment, he felt the leader approaching him.
Meanwhile, the other two had gradually caught up with Yuan Ziyi. Given her current attire, it was nearly impossible for her to escape. However, holding the phone that Wei Yuan had given her, Yuan Ziyi quickly stood up and began to run while loudly reporting her location into the phone once the call connected. There was no time to explain; she could only shout, "Hurry and send someone to rescue me!"
Yuan Ziyi held a very important position within their group, and it was likely that the person who answered her call was someone she trusted. Therefore, it was easy to imagine that upon hearing her voice, they would immediately jump into action and gather people to come.
If Wei Yuan could just endure this period of time, he would be able to escape danger. However, the soft mud beneath his feet was slowing him down, forcing him to lift his foot slowly from the ground. Little did he know that the leader in black had taken a shortcut through the fields and was now approaching him from the side. Taking advantage of Wei Yuan's immobility, the leader kicked him.
Unexpectedly, this kick sent Wei Yuan flying out of the mud. The guy was indeed much stronger than he appeared. After taking a hit, Wei Yuan immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm but gritted his teeth and ran toward Yuan Ziyi, with the leader still in pursuit.
"Get moving! Don't let her escape!"
Although Yuan Ziyi looked vulnerable in her evening gown, these two had underestimated Wei Yuan before. When they finally caught up with her, they hesitated to act; who knew if this woman might be even more formidable?
"Why aren't you going? Why don't you make a move?"
To their surprise, after chasing down Yuan Ziyi, they started pushing responsibility onto each other instead of acting decisively. In such a dangerous moment, Yuan Ziyi couldn't help but want to laugh at their antics. However, their delay meant that Wei Yuan was getting closer.
"That guy is coming! Hurry up and catch her!"
One of them shamelessly took a step back and pushed his companion forward toward Yuan Ziyi. The man lunged at her.
Yuan Ziyi remained cautious; seeing him charge at her, she decisively extended her two strongest fingers toward his eyes in a double dragon grabbing pearl maneuver aimed directly at his eyes. Following that, she executed Yang Ying's signature move—the devastating kick aimed at his vulnerable area.
It was indeed a kick to the groin; some referred to such moves as "kicking off descendants," which hinted at its incredible power. More importantly, because she wanted to match her evening gown, Yuan Ziyi was wearing high heels.
Wei Yuan had been rushing over to rescue Yuan Ziyi and felt relieved when he saw her successfully defend herself with such an impressive technique. However, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Why do women from Purple Robe Pavilion always resort to this move? Do they have some deep-seated grudge against men's vital parts?"
At that moment, when he turned around, the leader in the Black Jacket was already preparing to draw his gun. Wei Yuan quickly took a running start, using his jumping ability to leap forward and grab the person standing behind Yuan Ziyi.
Meanwhile, Yuan Ziyi was not idle either. She opened the packet of powder in her hand and, taking advantage of the fact that the guy she had just blinded was still tearing up, she resolutely threw the powder at his face.
At this moment, just as Yuan Ziyi had explained to Wei Yuan earlier, the powder reacted immediately upon contact with his tears. The man suddenly felt an intense pain; the pain in his lower body was nothing compared to this. Covering his face with his hands, he began to roll on the ground.
After grabbing the man, Wei Yuan struck him on the back of the head with the same technique. Although he did not intend to knock him out, the opponent had already lost his ability to resist. Wei Yuan dragged the man's body, which was large enough to shield both him and Yuan Ziyi from any potential gunfire.
Who would have thought that at this moment, two people suddenly jumped down from the truck that had been blocking the road. They quickly ran towards Wei Yuan's direction.
Their running movements were extremely fast and stable on this narrow dirt road, clearly much better than those four previous useless individuals who had stumbled along. At this point, a smile appeared on the lips of the leader in the Black Jacket as he holstered his gun.
"What the hell are you doing?" One of the two men who jumped down from the truck clearly held a higher position in their organization, so when he spoke, there was no restraint.
The other glanced at several people lying around in disarray and then kicked one of them lying next to him. The person who had been unconscious flipped over onto his back and noticed blood pooling near his ear and a dislocated jaw. He licked his lips and asked, "Who did this?"
The man in the Black Jacket nodded, and then the Bearded Man laughed mockingly, "Five people couldn't handle this pair of lovebirds and even planned to draw their guns. You really are a bunch of useless fools."
"You dare say that again?" The man in the Black Jacket's eyes narrowed like a venomous snake upon hearing this.
The other man shouted back, "Shut up! We haven't even caught them yet and you're already making noise. Are you all brain dead?"
Wei Yuan noticed that the man in the Black Jacket had holstered his gun, which made him feel somewhat relieved. However, with those two men who had just jumped down from the truck, although Wei Yuan had sensed someone on it earlier and thought it was just a lookout, seeing them together now indicated that these three would definitely be difficult to deal with.
"Do you see that wooden house behind us?" Wei Yuan whispered urgently to Yuan Ziyi, sensing that they might rush over.
"Run to the back, I'll lift you over."
After saying this, Wei Yuan quickly grabbed Yuan Ziyi's hand and ran backward. The three people initially thought they were already trapped with no way out, so they stood there without urgency to catch them.
However, at this moment, Wei Yuan had to take a risk. Behind him was a Wooden House, built by the locals next to the farmland for raising chickens and pigs. Occasionally, someone would watch over it to prevent thieves from entering, so the Wooden House was surrounded by high fences. No one could jump over them, not even Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan had already figured out that if the two of them stayed together, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape. He could only lift Yuan Ziyi over first; after she got away, she might be able to bring help. Moreover, their target was Yuan Ziyi; if she ran away, they might not do anything to him.
Of course, this thought was fleeting. At this moment, he simply felt that this place was not suitable for Yuan Ziyi to stay any longer. So he led her to the edge of the Wooden House, lifted her onto his shoulder, and shouted at her, "Step on my shoulders and get over."
Wei Yuan looked up and saw that Yuan Ziyi had successfully climbed onto the roof of the Wooden House. He finally felt relieved. A thought flashed through his mind when he had lifted her earlier; it seemed he had accidentally touched her body. As she stepped on his shoulders to climb up, Wei Yuan looked up to check on her situation and noticed that under the long skirt she was wearing, it seemed something was exposed.
Although the light was dim, Wei Yuan's angle allowed him to see clearly: "Oh wow, it's actually purple lace."
