MARTIAL PEAK 4818

Yin Zhiyong broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not know that Yang Kai had just saved his life?

In just a few breaths’ time, Yang Kai had already saved him twice, so he couldn’t help feeling somewhat ashamed, quickly raising his sword and following Yang Kai.

Being able to serve as a guard for the Meng Mansion for more than ten years, his strength was naturally not bad, and the repeated dangers he had encountered had caused him to feel a bit of anger, making him especially ruthless.

These people who had come to attack were generally not very strong, only relying on the cover of the night and their numbers. Now that their whereabouts had been exposed, how could they be their opponents?

A moment later, some died while others fled. The courtyard where the two of them were standing suddenly became quiet.

However, the battle outside was still raging.

A sharp cry rang out as the guard leader sent out a signal to gather his men.

Yin Zhiyong shouted to Yang Kai, “Follow me!” Carrying his Sword, he jumped over the courtyard wall and led Yang Kai to another courtyard.

More than thirty guards had gathered here, all of them covered in blood, some of them seriously injured.

The situation was urgent, the guard leader didn’t have time to say anything. He simply said, “The people from Treasure Field Peak have come down the mountain. There are many of them, but there’s no need to be afraid. The City Lord’s Mansion must have received the news and sent reinforcements. As long as we can hold them off for a while, we’ll be safe. Right now, we’re all in the same boat. If we can’t hold them off, we’ll all die.”

After a few simple words, he began issuing orders.

Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong were still partners, so he had arranged for them to block their retreat from the Meng Mansion. Now that Treasure Field Peak’s bandits had infiltrated the Meng Mansion, no matter what their purpose was, once they succeeded, they would definitely leave. This was an opportunity to weaken Treasure Field Peak, the Meng Mansion’s appetite was not small. Not only did they have to resist this attack, but they also had to cooperate with the City Lord’s Mansion to suppress the bandits!

The others also had their own tasks.

Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong received their orders and left.

On the roof of a tall house, two people were quietly lying in wait, like shadows in the night. If one didn’t get close enough, it would be impossible to detect their presence.

Occasionally, a lone bandit would pass by, but before they could react, they would die.

The powerful strength Yang Kai displayed made Yin Zhiyong admire him even more.

The chaos in the Meng Mansion was still ongoing. Yang Kai’s eyes were fixed on the Inner Court. There was a fierce battle going on there, but it was happening on the periphery.

The real Inner Court, on the other hand, was completely quiet and the lights were all off.

A moment later, a large number of bandits who had infiltrated the Meng Mansion flew out and were killed by the guards guarding the main road.

Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong’s side was especially lively. Yang Kai didn’t feel anything, but Yin Zhiyong’s pressure was like a mountain. His thigh had been slashed and blood was flowing out.

However, since Yang Kai was guarding this place, he seemed to be able to hold his own, acting like a mountain. As long as there weren’t dozens of bandits attacking at once, no matter how many came, they would all die.

There were more than twenty corpses piled up on the roof.

The uneasiness in Yang Kai’s heart grew stronger, as if something was wrong!

After killing a bandit who was charging towards him, Yang Kai suddenly realized what was missing.

When everyone had gathered just now, he hadn’t seen Lu Anguo’s burly figure! Logically speaking, he was also a newly arrived guard, so unless he encountered some kind of accident, he would definitely have been summoned, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Looking towards a certain spot in the Inner Court, Lu Anguo had been hiding there for several nights.

Under the light of the flickering flames, a tall and sturdy figure emerged from the inner courtyard’s walls and headed towards a certain weak point.

On the other side, there seemed to be a number of people supporting the burly figure and quickly retreating!

Yang Kai turned around and jumped down. Yin Zhiyong was stunned for a moment before asking, “Brother Yang, where are you going?”

There was no response, but several bandits rushed over from the side, wanting to escape.

Yin Zhiyong couldn’t help shivering. His thigh was injured, and without Yang Kai’s cooperation, facing these enemies would be a disaster.

However, leaving just like that would be akin to leaving one’s post, and if the Meng Mansion were to pursue this matter, they would definitely be punished.

Between death and punishment, Yin Zhiyong decisively chose the latter, leaping off the roof with Yang Kai in hot pursuit.

In front of them, Yang Kai chased after the burly figure and soon left the Meng Mansion.

From behind him came the sound of a large group of people moving, most likely reinforcements from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Yang Kai’s eyes were fixed on the burly figure. It was only at this moment that he could clearly see that the burly figure’s shoulders seemed to be carrying something. Although it was carrying something, it didn’t affect his movements in the slightest. His iron tower-like figure was as agile as a rabbit.

Beside him were several companions.

Faintly sensing the pursuit behind him, Lu Anguo turned his head and glanced back, but he didn’t stop, instead his two companion turn around and rushing towards Yang Kai.

The two sides quickly closed in, and a dozen meter away, the two men raised their weapons and attacked from both sides.

Yang Kai flew between the two of them, his blade flashing faintly.

When Yin Zhiyong arrived, he saw two corpses lying on the roof.

The city gates of White Jade City had already been sealed, but it was not difficult for an expert like Lu Anguo to climb up. He had long since made preparations and used his flying claws to leap down from the city walls.

When Yang Kai arrived, his two remaining companions were climbing the city wall.

Yang Kai leapt up like a great roc and instantly appeared above the two men’s heads. With a single kick, he sent one of them flying while the other one fell to the ground.

Climbing up the city wall, Yang Kai’s face sank as he heard the neighing of a horse from below. Looking down, he saw Lu Anguo riding a tall horse.

Raising his eyes, Lu Anguo stared at Yang Kai on the city wall, grinned maliciously, turned his horse around, and rode away!

Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai leapt off the city wall and ran as fast as he could. However, although his strength in the Samsara World was not low, how could his foot strength compare to that of a strong horse? He could only watch as Lu Anguo got further away from him.

However, he didn’t give up and simply chased after the horse.

After half a cup of tea, Lu Anguo had disappeared, causing Yang Kai’s heart to burn with anxiety!

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind!

Yang Kai turned around and saw Yin Zhiyong riding a tall horse towards him. The horse stopped in front of Yang Kai and Yin Zhiyong gasped, “Eldest Young Lady has been captured!”

When he saw Yang Kai chasing after someone and leaving the Meng Mansion, he wasn’t sure what had happened, but soon, the Meng Mansion became flustered because while everyone was fighting the bandits, someone had snuck into the Inner Court and captured the Eldest Young Lady.

He immediately thought of Yang Kai chasing someone, but he didn’t have the time to report it, so he rushed to the stable and rode a horse straight towards Treasure Field Peak. When he passed through the city gate, he encountered some resistance. The city gate had already been closed, and the one guarding it was the City Lord’s Mansion. It was almost impossible for him, a guard of the Meng Mansion, to open it.

Fortunately, the guard leader at the gate knew him, and Yin Zhiyong had told him the truth and promised him great benefits in the name of the Meng Mansion, allowing him to pass.

He felt that if his guess was right, Yang Kai should be chasing after the culprit.

Just as he had expected, after chasing for so long, he finally saw Yang Kai.

Finished speaking, Yin Zhiyong dismounted from his horse and said in a low voice, “Brother Yang, it’s all up to you. If we can achieve great merit, we brothers will be able to live happily ever after.”

He had seen Yang Kai’s abilities before, so he was confident in him. On the other hand, he only had one horse, and now that he was injured, he didn’t want to drag him down.

“Don’t worry!” Yang Kai nodded, mounted his horse, and rode off at lightning speed.

Yang Kai didn’t know where Treasure Field Peak was located, but fortunately, Lu Anguo hadn’t been gone for long, so there were still some traces along the way.

On top of that, Lu Anguo was a tall and strong man, and he had taken the Eldest Young Lady of the Meng Mansion hostage, so the speed of his horse naturally couldn’t compare to Yang Kai’s.

At dawn, Yang Kai felt that he was getting closer to Lu Anguo.

After running for a few more kilometers, he saw Lu Anguo’s fleeing figure.

The movement behind him made Lu Anguo extremely vigilant. Looking back, he saw someone chasing after him and couldn’t help feeling surprised.

As the distance between them grew closer, Lu Anguo turned his head several times and finally saw Yang Kai’s face, his killing intent surging!

In the arena battle, Yang Kai defeating him with a single blow had left a deep impression on him, but he hadn’t shown it on his face for the past few days. After all, he still had important matters to attend to after infiltrating the Meng Mansion, so how could he have the mood to argue with Yang Kai?

However, at this moment, Yang Kai was chasing after him like a maggot in his bones, making him furious.

With the difference in the strength of their horses, it was impossible for him to escape, so after a moment of silence, Lu Anguo slowed his horse and turned it around, quietly waiting.

A moment later, Yang Kai arrived a few dozen meters away from him.

As their eyes met, Lu Anguo grinned maliciously while Yang Kai’s eyes flashed like water.

“Brat, you’re quite bold, actually daring to chase after me alone!” Lu Anguo twisted his neck, releasing a crisp sound.

Yang Kai turned his gaze towards the horse’s back and saw a pitch-black sack. Inside the sack was a person struggling and squirming, perhaps because her mouth was blocked, making some muffled sounds.

“You want to save the damsel in distress?” Lu Anguo teased.

“Release her!” Yang Kai’s left hand pressed down on the narrow saber at his waist, his expression cold.

Lu Anguo smiled lightly, “You’ve only joined the Meng Mansion for a few days, yet you’re already so loyal? Boy, your skills are not bad, why don’t you follow me up the mountain? Money and women, you can have whatever you want, it’s better than being a guard in the Meng Mansion!”

“Release her!” Yang Kai repeated.

The smile on Lu Anguo’s face gradually faded, “Since you’re a promising talent, I’d like to promote you. Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly leapt up and the horse he was riding couldn’t bear the impact. All four of its limbs were broken and it let out a miserable cry.

In mid-air, Lu Anguo grit his teeth and shouted, “Do you really think that just because you won against me in the arena, your strength is higher than mine? This is my true strength!”

The two fists transformed into a fist shadow and smashed towards Yang Kai’s head!
