Chapter 355 - 355 355 The Fellow Wearing a Bamboo Hat

Chapter 355: Chapter 355 The Fellow Wearing a Bamboo Hat Chapter 355: Chapter 355 The Fellow Wearing a Bamboo Hat “Grandma San Ying, you haven’t forgotten that three months ago, at the Extreme Combat Association, you slapped our Extreme Combat Association’s Ran Qi, did you?” Ding Qiniang asked, looking towards Grandma San Ying.

Grandma San Ying’s murky eyes suddenly focused, staring intently at Ding Qiniang.

Three months ago, she did visit the Extreme Combat Association and indeed slapped Ran Qi, the manager there, over a trivial argument.

She had almost forgotten about the matter, never expecting Ding Qiniang to come to settle accounts now.

“Ding Qiniang, let’s talk about this matter later; today this old woman has no time to deal with such trifles,” Grandma San Ying said with a frown.

“Hehe, this is no trivial matter.

Ran Qi is a member of my Extreme Combat Association, and you hit her for no reason.

As the president of the Extreme Combat Association, I, of course, have to intervene and resolve this issue.

You hit my person, and you need to give me an explanation,” Ding Qiniang said with a smile.

Ding Qiniang kept saying he wasn’t helping the Jing Family, but at this point, anyone present who wasn’t a fool could see that he was indeed aiding the Jing Family.

Otherwise, why would Ding Qiniang choose to confront Grandma San Ying over Ran Qi being slapped, and at this particular time?

And considering that the incident occurred three months ago, did Ding Qiniang just remember it today?

Clearly not!

Ding Qiniang was merely looking for an excuse to lend the Jing Family a hand!

This made the onlooking adventurers all the more astonished.

None of them had expected the president of the Extreme Combat Association to side with the Jing Family, choosing their camp.

The Jing Family’s seemingly inevitable downfall now seemed to have taken a new turn.

With Ding Qiniang preoccupying Grandma San Ying, the Zhao Family camp was left with only Zhao Dangyuan, a powerful Dao Spirit Realm expert.

On the Jing Family’s side, Jing Chengye and Jing Tianying, two Peak of Innate Realm experts, had yet to take action.

These two, along with several Late Innate Realm Martial Artists working together, could hold off Zhao Dangyuan for some time.

Of course, the Zhao Family camp still held an absolute advantage.

Whether in terms of Postnatal Martial Artists or Innate Martial Artists, they far outnumbered those of the Jing Family camp.

“Ding Qiniang, what exactly do you want to do?” Grandma San Ying asked angrily.

“Grandma San Ying, my request is simple.

Follow me and apologize to Manager Ran Qi.

If you can do that, this matter will be resolved.

If you cannot, then I will have to take a tough stance.

Today, I must have an explanation!” Ding Qiniang said with a smile.

“Haha, you want me to apologize to an upstart girl?

Ding Qiniang, you’re dreaming!

If you want to fight, just come on; I, Grandma San Ying, will take you all on.

Hmph, do you think I’m afraid of you?” Grandma San Ying grew increasingly angry.

“Then I must apologize for the offense!” Ding Qiniang made his move towards Grandma San Ying.

In reality, Ding Qiniang had known from the start that Grandma San Ying would never apologize to Ran Qi.

His clash with Grandma San Ying was well within expectations.

“Whoosh!”

Two Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses made their move, fighting fiercely above the sky.

The brilliant Martial Arts Light Halo illuminated the entire sky!

“Hm?”

Jing Yan’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he sensed a surge of energy stealthily approaching at high speed.

This aura was somewhat familiar.

“A Dark Night Assassin?” A flash of brilliance passed through Jing Yan’s eyes as he focused on one spot.

An ordinary person would likely not detect this faint breath, but Jing Yan’s senses were extremely sharp, and his experience dealing with the Dark Night Assassins allowed him to identify it immediately.

Indeed, a Dark Night Assassin had joined the fray.

“Clan Leader, be careful, there’s an assassin!” Jing Yan’s body leaned forward slightly.

This Dark Night Assassin was incredibly fast and his skill in concealing his energy was unrivaled.

By the time Jing Yan sensed the assassin, he was already within ten meters of Jing Chengye.

The Dark Night Assassin’s target was clearly Jing Chengye, the Jing Family Patriarch.

If it hadn’t been for Jing Yan’s presence, Jing Chengye would have almost certainly been doomed.

Even if Jing Chengye could have detected the assassin, it would have been too late.

Hearing Jing Yan’s warning, Jing Chengye’s Primordial Energy vibrated violently.

At the same time, a dark shadow suddenly emerged, its black curved knife stabbing viciously towards Jing Chengye.

“Despicable creatures who fear the light, dare to show yourselves?” With a sidestep, Jing Yan swept out his Skyfire Sword, slashing towards the dark shadow.

Unfazed by Jing Yan’s Sword Light, the dark shadow moved its black short sword with a light flick, not abandoning the attack on Jing Chengye.

Perhaps, in his view, Jing Yan’s attack wasn’t worth considering, let alone something that could interfere with his mission.

“A Gold Medal Assassin!” At this moment, Jing Yan caught sight of the gold skull emblem on the chest of the dark figure and also sensed the aura of a Dao Spirit Realm expert.

Another Gold Medal Assassin!

The one who had previously attempted to assassinate Jing Yan in the Splendid Pill Tower was also a Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin, and now another appeared.

“Hm?” The Gold Medal Assassin initially disregarded Jing Yan’s attack but only became alert when he encountered the Red Sword Light.

The power and killing intent contained within that red sword light exceeded his expectations.

He halted in midair and swiftly retreated, narrowly evading the Red Sword Light that would have cleaved him midsection.

The assassin’s movement technique was indeed much more agile than that of ordinary Martial Artists.

If it had been an ordinary Martial Artist, even at the Dao Spirit Realm, it would be hard to dodge this strike; they could only forcefully activate their Primordial Energy to defend.

Jing Chengye’s gaze shifted, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the Dark Night Assassin’s short sword hadn’t made contact, he could feel the murderous intent; he knew that even with Jing Yan’s warning and his preparation, it would still be difficult to block the assassin’s fatal blow.

“Who are you?” the Gold Medal Assassin asked, his eyes behind the mask locked on Jing Yan.

He sensed a threat emanating from Jing Yan.

“Hmph, does a creature who fears the light deserve to know who I am?” Jing Yan didn’t hesitate and launched a second attack with his Skyfire Sword towards the assassin.

The Gold Medal Assassin retreated once more!

“Hm?”

Zhao Dangyuan also noticed this change, deeply shaken.

He was aware that the Gold Medal Assassin would make a move.

As the assassin acted, Zhao Dangyuan was also paying attention.

Originally, he thought that Jing Chengye was as good as dead, but he didn’t expect a person in a conical hat next to Jing Chengye to actually hold off the Gold Medal Assassin.

Who was this person?

Zhao Dangyuan was well aware of the Gold Medal Assassin’s capabilities.

Even he, if not careful, might die by the hands of the assassin’s sneak attack.

Yet, that person in the conical hat managed to detect the Gold Medal Assassin in advance?
