Chapter 271: Killing Intent From an Old Friend!
âThump ThumpâŠâ Yang Dingtian heard the sound of heartbeats on Dongfang Binglingâs chest.
At the same moment, the ice energy binding Dongfang Binglingâs body had silently been shattered.
Fortunately, the third electric shock had succeeded in bringing back Dongfang Binglingâs heartbeat.
The ecstasy nearly made Yang Dingtian cry.
But that person crossing the unfreezing water was getting closer, and Yang Dingtian didnât have time to feel happy.
Firstly, he used his body to block and helped Dongfang Bingling to wear her clothes. Otherwise, the person would immediately see every inch of her fair skin under her neck.
He then pinched Dongfang Binglingâs nose and started to perform artificial respiration.
Thatâs right, Dongfang Binglingâs heartbeat had returned, but she had yet to start breathing. Without breathing, she would die really quickly.
Even though he knew the timing wasnât right, his heart still raced when he was about to place his lips on Dongfang Binglingâs lips.
But in less than half a second, Yang Dingtian quickly inhaled from outside and blew into Dongfang Binglingâs mouth.
Once!
Twice!
He then started the chest compressions.
Immediately after, he started to breathe in again.
âBangâŠâ There were movements behind Yang Dingtian as a figure abruptly rushed in from the unfreezing pool.
At the same moment, Dongfang Bingling opened up her gorgeous eyes and revealed a trace of astonishment, disbelief, fury, and surging murderous intent.
Yang Dingtian didnât hesitate and didnât explain. He used his fastest speed to dodge.
Dongfang Bingling was lying on the ground and had raised her dainty palms to strike above her.
Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to dodge to the corner.
He wasnât afraid of death or a coward, but resisting a Martial Supreme was truly something that he didnât want to get involved in.
After dodging to the corner, Yang Dingtian noticed that person emerging from the unfreezing pool with a pale expression at the same moment Dongfang Bingling struck out her palm. Even though that person had the demon core, crossing the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool was still a horrifying ordeal.
The instant that person emerged from the unfreezing pool, he saw the awakened Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike. The personâs handsome face revealed an unbelievable horror as he instinctively struck out a palm to contest with Dongfang Bingling.
At this moment, Yang Dingtianâs face was filled with shock.
The person that emerged from the unfreezing pool wasnât Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan, or was it Dugu Fengwu. He was a familiar person and also an enemy to Yang Dingtian. It was Yan Bieqin, why was he here?
However, if Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan werenât a match for Dongfang Bingling, how could Yan Bieqin be a match for her?
As such, the duoâs clash only had one undeniable outcome⊠that was Yan Bieqin getting crushed to death.
âBangâŠâ There was a sudden and loud echo.
The palm clash had burst out with a huge aftershock.
Yang Dingtianâs chest was shaken by the aftershock as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying.
But this space was too small, and there was nowhere to fly. He spun in the air and fell back into the corner.
But the outcome of the battle had stunned Yang Dingtian.
Dongfang Binglingâs delicate body was sent flying, and she violently vomited blood. Her tender body then crashed into Yang Dingtian.
How did this happen? Dongfang Bingling was so formidable, but she was sent flying?
Yang Dingtian didnât have time to think so much as he quickly caught hold of Dongfang Binglingâs body and couldnât help but feel the impact.
Dongfang Bingling vomited another small mouthful of blood after getting caught by Yang Dingtian and immediately fainted. It was unknown if she were still alive or not.
After taking another glance at Yan Bieqin, he had just landed and was filled with shock, but he was unscathed and didnât have any injuries.
It wasnât just Yang Dingtian, Yan Bieqin was stunned as well. To be honest, the instant he jumped down and saw Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike, he only had one thought in his mind, âMy life is ending here.â
Yan Bieqinâs palm strike was completely instinctive.
But no one expected that Yan Bieqinâs palm strike would send Dongfang Bingling flying, vomiting blood, and be in an unknown condition.
However, Yan Bieqin was perfectly fine and didnât even suffer any injury.
After seeing Dongfang Bingling in an unknown condition, Yang Dingtian recalled that when Dongfang Bingling executed a palm strike, she didnât seem to have any energy at all.
Thatâs right, he had transfused his blood to defrost Dongfang Bingling and had also resuscitated her in a short time. But his overbearing nine yang blood had made all of Dongfang Binglingâs cultivation to vanish without a trace. Hence, her palm strike didnât have any power and couldnât injure Yan Bieqin.
Thus, Dongfang Bingling had only awakened for just a few seconds before fainting again.
***
Yan Bieqin took a glance at Dongfang Bingling and at his own palm. His absolutely pale face had regained its color.
Yang Dingtian placed Dongfang Bingling on the ground and drew his Sky Devil Flame Saber before standing up and asking, âYan Bieqin, why are you here?â
âWhy canât I be here?â Yan Bieqin said, âI am the Young Lordâs absolute confidant. Is it strange for me to accompany him to the East Parting Grassland?â
Yang Dingtian said, âEven if that is the case, you can accompany him to the East Parting Grassland, but there is no reason for you to be here. This place is Qin Huaiyuâs most confidential secret.â
âThatâs right. It is supposed to be like this.â Yan Bieqin said, âBut, I coincidentally encountered the Foxman experts that were pursuing Young Lady Dugu Fengwu, and I joined in the battle to help her escape. We have been fighting and running; hence, I followed her to the Burial Landâs central lake.â
Yang Dingtian asked, âEven so, you shouldnât be the one to kill Dongfang Bingling and me. Why isnât it Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan?â
Yan Bieqin said, âBecause the Foxman Raceâs absolute expert had also pursued over here. That person is very powerful and can even contest against two Martial Supreme experts. Hence, to not be defeated, Young Lord Qin is required to work together with Young Lady Dugu and Mister Gudu. Among the four, I am the one with the weakest cultivation; therefore, Iâm here to kill you.â
No wonder.
Yang Dingtian asked, âWho is the absolute expert from the Foxman Race?â
Yan Bieqin replied, âThe Foxman chieftain. Because Dugu Fengwu snatched their raceâs thousand-year fire attribute demon core, hence, he had pursued all the way here.â
Yang Dingtianâs eyes contracted, âWho exactly are you? Why are you Qin Huaiyuâs confidant?â
âI am just Yan Bieqin.â He laughed and said, âWhy am I his confidant? I have been following him for over ten years. Is this reason enough?â
Yang Dingtian questioned, âThen why doesnât the Qin City know of your existence?â
Yan Beiqing explained, âBecause I am my Lordâs most important chess piece. It is why almost no one knows of my existence. Of course, the function of this chess piece is something you will soon understand.â
âThen what is your objective for getting close to Qin Mengli?â Yang Dingtian asked.
Yan Bieqin said, âQin Cityâs Lord dotes on his younger sister. Thus, he gave her a shocking amount of wealth. However, Young Lord wants to get a share of this wealth for himself. Is this reason enough?â
Yang Dingtian nodded. This reason was very ample.
âWhat is your cultivation?â Yang Dingtian asked.
â1-star Martial Supreme.â Yan Bieqin answered.
Yang Dingtian was appalled as he didnât expect this person to be so formidable.
Yang Dingtian had guesses about this mysterious Yan Bieqin previously. But he merely guessed that Yan Bieqin was a Martial Ancestor and never expected Yan Bieqin to be a 1-star Martial Supreme.
This person might be far inferior to Dongfang Bingling, but to kill Yang Dingtian, it was as easy as blowing dust. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had exhausted most of his mystic qi and had lost a third of his blood. Even if Yang Dingtianâs opponent were a 9-star Martial Mystic, he wouldnât be a match at all.
Right now, Yang Dingtianâs opponent was a 1-star Martial Supreme, and his cultivation was several times superior to Yang Dingtian. It was truly a battle that didnât have any possibility of resistance.
To be truthful, even if Yang Dingtian took the risk of being annihilated to attack Yan Bieqin with the vicious sword spirit, it still wouldnât do any harm to Yan Bieqin.
Of course, Yang Dingtian could also use the Evil Soul Art, but the soul tool no longer had the powerful puppet battle soul.
There was only one method for Yang Dingtian to deal with this person. The method was one that Yang Dingtian had used to deal with Wu Xingwen.
âShall we make a deal?â Yang Dingtian asked slowly.
Yang Dingtian was almost certain that no evil person would be able to resist the temptation of the Evil Soul Art.
Back then, Wu Yingwen was turned into an idiot after getting backlashed by the modified Soul Burst Art. Right now, it could also be used on Yan Bieqin. Even though he was Qin Huaiyuâs confidant, Yang Dingtian could still feel his exuberant ambition.
Since there was no longer any powerful puppet battle soul in the soul tool ring, Yang Dingtian would have to modify the Soul Assimilating Art. He would need to make Yan Bieqin extract his own soul.
Of course, this was extremely difficult. Unlike the time with Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian simply had to show Wu Xingwen the power of the Soul Assimilating Art before convincing him to use the modified Soul Burst Art.
Right now, he wanted to make Yan Bieqin use the modified Soul Assimilating Art to extract his own soul. It was probably going to be very difficult.
Yang Bieqing was probably much more crafty than Wu Xingwen too.
When Yang Dingtian spoke about making a deal, Yan Bieqin didnât respond.
Yang Dingtian repeated once more, âYan Bieqin, shall we make a deal?â
âA deal?â Yan Bieqin sneered and said, âAre you going to use the soul tool ring or the Evil Soul Art to entice me and deal with me by using the method you used against Wu Xingwen? Are you trying to make me turn myself into an idiot? Do you think I am that foolish? Yang Dingtian!â
Yang Dingtian was speechless.
He had yet to even speak of his plan, but it had been seen through by Yan Bieqin. Yang Dingtian had never encountered such a situation before.
It seemed like Yan Bieqin was indeed Qin Huaiyuâs trusted confidant as he even knew of such a confidential incident that involved Wu Xingwen.
Furthermore, it seemed like Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyuâs relationship had reached a certain extent. Wu Xingwenâs incident and Yang Dingtian knowing the Evil Soul Art was something that only Dugu Fengwu knew. She had actually divulged such a secret to Qin Huaiyu too.
Yang Dingtian let out a helpless laugh and said, âIt seems like Young Lord Qin and Demon Woman Dugu have a relationship that is far more intimate than I imagined.â
