Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
Halfway down the hill.
Everyone from the Eight Trigrams School ran for their lives down the hill. But as they were carrying Rao Aimin, they could not go too fast and were already at their limits. If anyone were to pursue them, they would definitely be unable to escape. At this moment, their hearts were heavy with sadness. Just before they escaped down the small pathway, the last words they heard from Zhang Ye were "whomsoever crosses the line—dies." At that instant, they realized that Zhang Ye intended to take their enemies down with him!
"Teacher Zhang!" Yan Hui's eyes were filled with tears!
A female disciple of the Eight Trigrams School was unable to stop herself from crying. She kept wiping away her tears while saying, "Zhang Ye chose to stay behind so that he could save us! He sacrificed himself because of us!"
Lu Yuhu roared with rage, "I, Lu Yuhu, swear that I will absolutely avenge Teacher Zhang within this lifetime of mine!"
"Right! Avenge Teacher Zhang!"
"We must take revenge for him!"
"We can't allow Teacher Zhang to sacrifice himself for nothing!"
"That bunch of bastards from the large sects! When Eldest Senior Sis has recovered, we must exterminate them all!"
"Exterminate them all! Avenge Teacher Zhang!"
"Revenge or die!"
"Revenge or die!"
The Eight Trigrams Palm's people started shouting rallying cries in grief.
But at this moment, the footsteps of someone running could be heard coming from behind them. A figure was sprinting toward them at a speed that was at least three times faster than their group's pace!
"Ah?"
"Someone is catching up to us?"
"This is not good!"
"Let's run faster!"
"That doesn't feel right. Why does it sound like it's only one person?"
"Who is it?"
The figure was getting closer and closer!
When they saw managed to make out who this person was, the disciples from the Eight Trigrams School were stunned and stood rooted in place!
It turned out that it was Zhang Ye!
"Zhang, Zhang Ye?"
"Teacher Zhang?"
"Damn, how are you still alive?"
"Where are they? Where are the people of the large sects?"
Zhang Ye bellowed as he ran madly for his life, "What do you mean why am I still alive? Let's hurry the fuck out of here! Stop staring! They will be catching up to us soon!"
Lu Yuhu said in a stunned manner, "Weren't you going to sacrifice yourself to stop them from advancing?"
When Zhang Ye heard that, he nearly tumbled to the ground. "I'll sacrifice your sister! Are you cursing me?"
"No, I didn't mean that. I, I…" Lu Yuhu did not know what to say anymore and just asked, "Then where are they? Why aren't they chasing us?"
Zhang Ye replied, "I stopped them!"
Song Jiao, who was carrying Rao Aimin on her back, exclaimed, "How did you manage to stop them? Did you beat them all into the ground?"
Zhao Yunlong was greatly surprised. "Y-You're that amazing? Even our Eldest Senior Sis couldn't do that!"
"What do you mean by beating them all into the ground? There were over a hundred fucking people back there! Do you guys think I'm Iron Man? Even if there were only a third of them, I wouldn't be able to beat them!" Zhang Ye said matter-of-factly.
Xu Fan gaped. "Then how did you stop them?"
Zhang Ye explained, "By using my mouth of course!" Then this fellow even proudly related the happenings back there instead of being ashamed. "Those idiots, they think they can fucking argue with me? I frightened them with just a couple of words!"
Did they really think that I was injured?
Did they really think that I couldn't beat all of them?
Yes, I! Really! Couldn't! Beat! Them!
Those who knew him knew that Zhang Ye was not known for his excellence in martial arts, but for that mouth of his! If he couldn't beat them? Then he would outtalk them!
The Eight Trigrams Palm's disciples were extremely astonished as they ran down the hill together with Zhang Ye!
Just you alone? Someone who had been seriously injured? Could rely on your mouth to stall over a hundred martial arts experts, masters, and sect leaders from the large sects?
Fuck!
How could your mouth be so damn powerful!?
Chenchen cried out, flustered and exasperated, "Zhang Ye!"
Zhang Ye was given a fright. "Whoa, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Lu Yuhu gave a wry smile. "The child was frightened just now."
"Here, let me carry her." Zhang Ye took Chenchen from Lu Yuhu's hands. "There, there, your Uncle Zhang is fine. Didn't I tell you all that I would hold them off for a while? I said that I be right behind, how did that turn out to become me sacrificing myself and taking them down with me? Do you guys think that I'm an idiot?"
Song Jiao: "…"
Lu Yuhu: "…"
Xu Fan: "…"
Yan Hui could only think about how he had cried for nothing!
Zhang Ye naturally would not go all-out with those large sects at such a time. As he and Rao Aimin were injured, and Chenchen was also with them, what he needed to do now was not to take revenge, but to recuperate. After Zhang Ye recovered from his injuries, he would settle this score properly with those people one by one. No one was going to escape from that! Therefore, Zhang Ye was just bluffing the entire time when they were on the hilltop. He had thought of an escape plan beforehand and relied on the game ring to do so. This time, he had used the right to activate an item from the Special Category that he obtained a very long time ago. It had performed outstandingly!
Invisibility Effect (Upgraded)!
Zhang Ye had tested this item from the merchant shop before and it was quite awesome, though he had not officially used it. But today, he used up the last of his remaining Reputation Points on it and was able to escape under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people!
Although he had played the lottery draw many times yesterday and purchased about 2,000 Taiji Fist Skill Experience Books today, there was still a tiny amount of Reputation Points left over. On top of that, Zhang Ye was an A-list celebrity and his Reputation Points would constantly increase. For example, if the news mentioned him, or if someone watched A Bite of China, or maybe there was a leak about Zhang Ye being involved with the Central TV Documentary Channel's upcoming documentary on air pollution issues. All of this exposure would give a continuous stream of Reputation Points to Zhang Ye. Although the accumulation per day was not considered much, he still had enough Reputation Points to activate the "Invisibility Effect" for a while and run out of the bathroom!
"How is Old Rao?" Zhang Ye asked.
Irritated, Song Jiao said, "She has internal injuries, so I'm not sure!"
Lu Yuhu said, "We must find a hospital as soon as we get to the bottom of the hill!"
Zhang Ye spoke again. "Call the police first!"
"On our way down, I contacted the local authorities, but I don't know whether that will help much!" Lu Yuhu said with a dark expression, "The National Martial Arts Association is quite influential and have people within the ranks of the relevant authorities! Why else do you think that the deaths that occur every year within our martial arts world never get exposed?"
Suddenly, shouts calling for a massacre could be heard from afar!
"Chase them!"
"Capture Rao Aimin!"
"Kill Zhang Ye, that thieving bastard!"
"Let's catch up to that shameless person!"
"They won't be able to fight back anymore!"
"Don't let them escape! Let's attack together! We have more people anyway!"
"Right, we have more people!"
The Eight Trigrams Palm's disciples immediately paled from the shock!
Song Jiao said while panting, "They've almost caught up!"
Zhang Ye decided, "We can't keep running like this. We simply can't outrun them! Since there is still some distance and they haven't spotted us yet, let's hide in the hills!"
"Hide in the hills?"
"I suppose that's the only way out now!"
"Let's hide in the hills first, then find an opportunity to contact someone from the outside world!"
They turned around. At a forked path, they did not run down the stairs but went straight into the forest and deeper into the hills!
"Little Junior Bro, try to contact your friends at the Public Security Bureau again!"
"I've already contacted most of my friends in Beijing!"
"What do we do now?"
"Even if we continue downhill off the beaten path, what if those people waiting for us at the bottom are also from the large sects?"
"No one's ever been caught halfway!"
"They have too many people!"
"Eldest Senior Sis and Teacher Zhang are injured. We won't be able to stop them if we bump into them!"
"The local authorities might not necessarily help us either! The police tend not to concern themselves with the majority of feuds occurring within the martial arts community and the National Martial Arts Association! It's the same everywhere!"
No one knew what to do. They could only run blindly in the hills, but what lay ahead was uncertain!
They had more people?
Comparing who has more people?
Zhang Ye's face darkened. "Where are my clothes?"
Yan Hui was startled. "Ah? I'm wearing them."
This was the down jacket that Zhang Ye threw on the ground back before he went up into the fight ring. It was later picked up by Yan Hui, who was wearing it.
Yan Hui took off the down jacket and passed it back to him.
Zhang Ye felt the pockets of the down jacket and took out his cell phone. When he saw the Eight Trigrams Palm's disciples looking at him in confusion, he said, "I'm posting on Weibo!"
Competing with me on who has more people?
Motherfuckers!
Let's see who has more people today!
