Chapter 612 - 612 598 Escape from Death

Chapter 612: Chapter 598: Escape from Death Chapter 612: Chapter 598: Escape from Death Yuan Menhai had no choice but to move a group of men to the right to deal with the people from New City Sect.

Once a large group of people moved away, Yang Jing saw an opportunity. Like a revived fish, he bit and tore frantically. He knew that if he didn’t escape, he would die here. Other people might have the option to surrender, but Yuan Menhai would never accept his surrender.

The same goes for Gui Lang. He fought back desperately and finally managed to carve out an opening.

On the other side, Ye Chen was watching Yuan Menhai’s men closely. Taking advantage of their taut muscles, his blade sliced through, causing blood to pour out continuously. He unleashed lightning bolts everywhere, reminiscent of the night when Tianle City was breached.

So furious he was at a loss for words, Yuan Menhai saw Yang Jing and part of his group break out through the opening, like they had gone mad. What could be more important than escaping? The flame of hope spurred them on to charge ahead.

Jiang Zhuge came to Ye Chen and said, “I think it’s about time.”

“If it’s about time, let’s get moving.” Ye Chen quickly led his men to take advantage of the Winged Dragon and the Demonic Beasts’ attack. While Yuan Menhai was indecisive between the left and the right side, they escaped towards the direction they had prepared earlier.

They weren’t caught.

Although Yang Jing had managed to tear open an opening from the other side, not all of them escaped. Some were still entangled, but the opening had been made.

Yuan Menhai called out to Ming Bei, “Ming Bei, you and Luo Hai go after New City Sect. I’ll deal with Yang Jing’s men.”

He knew there weren’t many people in the New City Sect. Although their encirclement had been broken and some of his men were killed, Yuan Menhai was not willing to give up because they still had the upper hand.

Ming Bei immediately went after New City Sect. But Ye Chen was prepared. Before they could catch up, a group of monsters ambushed them midway. This effectively blocked Ming Bei and Luo Hai’s men. If they wanted to catch up, they would first need to defeat the swarm of beasts. By then, Ye Chen and his group had successfully shaken off Ming Bei.

Over an hour had passed, and the sounds of fighting behind them had gradually subsided.

Can Mo came up and said, “We’ve shaken off Ming Bei and his men. We’re safe.”

“That damn Yang Jing should thank us for saving his life,” said Li Mo.

Ye Chen glanced at the panting Rong’er. “Never seen anything like this before, have you?” he asked.

Rong’er shook her head.

Ye Chen chuckled. “You’ll get used to it,” he said.

Rong’er gulped down some water.

“Let’s rest for a bit, then move on,” said Ye Chen.

Guo Yuyun, on the other side, was surprisingly calm, clearly having experienced these situations before.

Ye Chen also expressed his concern towards her.

“You should be worried about that little girl instead,” Guo Yuyun replied sarcastically.

“I care about both of you,” Ye Chen said, covered in a sheen of sweat.

Guo Yuyun said, “We just exposed ourselves. Yuan Menhai’s men will definitely be after us, will they retaliate against us?”

Ye Chen laughed softly. “Are we scared of their retaliation?”

“Let’s find a place to rest soon. I don’t want to sleep in the wilderness tonight.”

“I thought you liked to stir things up. You weren’t afraid of venturing into the Wastelands with He Xibai, and now you’re scared of sleeping in the wilderness?”

Guo Yuyun found a rock to lie down against.

Yuan Menhai was still pursuing Yang Jing, refusing to give up.

Yang Jing had been running with his group for over two hours. It was almost dusk, but Yuan Menhai refused to back down, clinging on like a rabid dog.

Yang Jing was feeling uncomfortable, but now that he had broken out of the encirclement, he wouldn’t stop no matter what happened. Escaping was his priority.

Still cursing under his breath, “Damn Yuan Menhai, playing this game with me. Just you wait. Once I get free, I’ll deal with you.” Anger fueled his resolve.

Even if Yuan Menhai couldn’t catch Yang Jing, he would give him such a scare that he would never dare to cross Third Demon again.

Just then, from a turn in the valley, Shi Mu and a large group of people suddenly charged out, striking Yuan Menhai’s pursuers.

Although Yuan Menhai’s forces were strong, they were as exhausted as Yang Jing’s men at this point.

However, the ambush led by Shi Mu from the sides of the valley were still fresh. Even though they only had a little over two hundred people, they had a considerable number of beasts at their disposal. They surged forward like a pack of wolves, fiercely attacking their enemies.

Yuan Menhai was taken aback. He’d just surrounded the No. One Heroes, and now they were ambushed midway. Their vicious attack caused him to shudder, and he wasn’t even sure of what was happening.

This was Shi Mu’s chance to prove his worth to Yang Jing, and he banked everything on this attack.

Yang Jing was also unsure of what was happening. He asked, “Have they run into the New City Sect again?”

The pressure from behind suddenly decreased, and at this time, San Gui ran over and said, “It’s not New City Sect’s people, it’s ours.”

“Our people set up an ambush for them?” Half of the resentment in Yang Jing’s heart suddenly disappeared.

Someone else came from behind and said, “It’s Shi Mu and his men.”

“Good, so good. Very good.” The ambush relayed their worries and scattered Yuan Menhai’s team instead.

Seeing the tide turn, Yang Jing was intent on revenge. The Third Demon’s men had stopped pursuing him, and were instead caught in the valley by Shi Mu’s men.

Yang Jing immediately turned around and cried out, “Don’t stand there, why are we sparing these bastards? Were they following me? Kill them all!” The opportunity had suddenly reversed.

They turned back and went after Yuan Menhai’s team in the valley. Boom, boom, boom!

Cooperating with people on both sides, they had Yuan Menhai lost and confused.

Yuan Menhai’s team was suddenly scattered and could only flee in disarray.

Yang Jing was not yet satiated, but this slaughter exhilarated him. Looking at the bloody bodies of the Third Demon disciples, he regretted not killing that bastard Yuan Menhai.

Shi Mu quickly came over to pay his respects to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing was greatly surprised and asked, “Shi Mu, how did you get here?”

“My subordinates apologized. They were supposed to be guarding the city, but last night I had a dream where I thought it was an ambush. I brought people out this morning fearing you might be surrounded so I came over to save you, disobeying the Lord of the city’s order. I shouldn’t have, please punish me.” Shi Mu said.

Yang Jing was saved and had a good fight against Yuan Menhai, venting his hatred. Even though many disciples died, he regained his honor, so there was nothing to blame. He said, “You did a good job, a very good job. Your timing was perfect, get up. My team needs more talents like you.”

Shi Mu stood up and immediately asked, “Is the city lord alright?”

“I’m fine. You’re very good.” Yang Jing continued, “Damn it, we didn’t catch that bastard Yuan Menhai.”

“We’ll have chances in the future. It’s good enough that the city lord was able to escape. If you couldn’t, I would have come to Bishui City to save you.”

Yang Jing said, “Hmm, that’s my good brother.” He patted his shoulder and added, “I need more people like you. From now on, you and Gui Lang will be my right and left hands.”

Shi Mu quickly kneeled down again, saying, “I’m not worthy. City lord, you have many talents under your command, how dare I accept this.”

Yang Jing said, “Listen, in the future anyone with talent should use their abilities. I, Yang Jing, do not favor relationships, I reward based on merit.”

At this time, San Gui walked over and said, “It’s a pity. The lady was captured by them and hasn’t been released yet.”

Shi Mu quickly said, “No, the lady wasn’t captured.”

Yang Jing paused for a moment, and asked, “The lady wasn’t captured?”

Shi Mu quickly explained, “Just yesterday, some of my men found the lady passed out in the horse carriage near the place where they ambushed the day before yesterday. She was returned to Ghost City this morning and has been sent home.”

When Yang Jing heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, “She wasn’t injured, was she?”

Shi Mu quickly said, “No, she should have been startled by the horses the night before, and ran off with them.”

“That’s just great,” Yang Jing was extremely relieved and delighted. Although he barely escaped an ambush, he managed to heavily defeat Yuan Menhai, and the lady was safe. He suddenly had newfound respect for Shi Mu.

Gui Lang was watching. He was surprised that a man under Jue Ming’s command had such capability. He said, “City Lord, we better hurry back. I don’t know if they will join forces with Ming Bei and attack again.”

“Let them come, I’m waiting for them here,” Yang Jing said defiantly.

Shi Mu looked over and said, “There’re quite a few people injured. City lord, it’s best to lead the team away. I’ll cover our retreat. If something happens, we can discuss it when we’re back in Ghost City.”

Yang Jing calmed down a bit and said, “All right, let’s return to Ghost City.”

Escape from death and defeating Yuan Menhai was enough to quench his thirst for vengeance. The lady was safe too, how could he not be happy?

After this battle, Yang Jing was lucky to have survived.

On the way, Yang Jing was a little puzzled and said, “I can’t believe the New City Sect would save us.”

After hearing this, Gui Lang said, “If we were really destroyed, the Third Demon would only deal with the New City Sect next. At that point, the New City Sect wouldn’t resist, and he could live happily. Of course, he hopes we keep the Third Demon occupied.”

After hearing this, Yang Jing immediately understood and said, “Yes, if we were exterminated, they would be doomed too. They don’t want us to be destroyed. You are absolutely correct.”

Er Gui was surprised and asked, “I just don’t know how the New City Sect knew that the Third Demon had set up a trap for us.”

“Perhaps it was a coincidence.” Gui Lang said.

“That Yuan Menhai is really cunning, he even set up such a big scheme for me.”
