Both won were brandishing a dagger, their lithe figures engaged in battle with these four experts. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.
The two won were only at the Innate Middle Stage, while these four n were experts brought out by Fang Yan from his sect, all at the Innate Late Stage. Moreover, with four against two, they held the absolute advantage both in numbers and strength.
Bang bang!
In the blink of an eye, two dull, thunderous sounds erupted, and the won were sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, tasting saltiness in their throats as a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out.
"I really want to see who you are. What exactly do you want to obtain by infiltrating our Fang Family?"
At this mont, Fang Yan grasped the railing on the second floor, leaped down, and landed on the ground floor, his eyes twinkling with sharp light.
The expressions of the two won beca extrely solemn at this ti, exchanging a glance, they made a certain decision.
"Heaven and earth, all things begin with the five elents. With my vital blood, I invoke the art of Earth to escape!"
The two won hurriedly ford one complicated hand seal after another, murmuring to themselves, as two mysterious seals appeared in the void.
Then, both won spat out a mouthful of blood onto the seals, which imdiately erupted with a burst of yellow-brown light, enveloping them and, in a flash, the won disappeared from their original spot.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan and the four experts all changed their expressions, their gazes sweeping around, but the won were nowhere to be seen.
"How is this possible? What kind of technique is that?"
Fang Yan’s face showed shock, looking sowhat troubled and filled with deep confusion.
"Do you know what technique those two just used?" Fang Yan’s eyes turned to the four n, who were all equally shaking their heads, their faces full of puzzlent, and their hearts greatly shaken, for in their long years of cultivation, they had never seen such a situation.
"Yan’er, these two sneaked into our Fang Family, it seems they were trying to steal sothing?" Fang Rushan ca down and said indifferently.
"But what does our Fang Family have that’s worth stealing?" Fang Yan looked puzzled.
Suddenly, both father and son’s eyes lit up, saying, "That pearl!"
"It’s very likely, and judging by the figures of the two, they should be won. I recall there were two female bodyguards among Li Tiancheng’s n, perhaps it was them," Fang Rushan stated somberly.
"It seems that this pearl is indeed very important to Li Tiancheng; to secretly send two Innate Middle Stage masters to snatch it, this pearl must be no ordinary item," Fang Yan’s eyes shone with a sharp glint.
anwhile, hundreds of ters outside the Fang Family Manor, the two won appeared, spitting out another mouthful of blood, their faces deathly pale, their breaths weak, appearing to have sustained severe injuries.
"This so-called Fang Family, to actually have four Innate Late Stage experts, is truly unexpected," one of the won glanced at the distant Fang Family, expressing disbelief.
"The Fang Family is definitely not just an ordinary family in the secular world. Now, to snatch the Fire Origin Pearl, we can only rely on Li Tiancheng."
"However, just in case, we should still inform our master and make arrangents for both possibilities."
The two won discussed briefly and then swiftly disappeared from the spot.
The next day, Ye Luo awoke from his cultivation, feeling that his strength had improved substantially after his battle with Lei Ting the previous night, especially his comprehension of the Lingyun Sword Technique. It seed that indeed, battle was the best way to cultivate.
Ye Luo stepped out of the room and imdiately saw Lin Tianhai’s figure.
"Uncle Lin, you’re up so early. Shouldn’t you rest a bit more?" Ye Luo approached and said.
Lin Tianhai turned and looked at Ye Luo, his expression now seed to have recovered, and he replied with a faint smile, "My injuries are no longer a serious concern. Ye Luo, I wanted to say that I’m leaving this place today to find sowhere else to live."
"Why? Isn’t it comfortable living here?" Ye Luo’s expression was one of surprise.
Lin Tianhai shook his head and said, "No, that’s not it. This villa is filled with female family mbers, and it’s not quite appropriate for an outsider like to live here. Besides, it doesn’t feel quite right, so I’ve decided to find another place to stay. After all, I can’t live here indefinitely."
"But that Lei Ting will definitely not let this go. If you’re staying outside, I’m afraid... What about Xiao Yan?" Ye Luo looked at Lin Tianhai with a slight frown.
"My injuries are no big issue now, and even if I run into Lei Ting again, I may not beat him, but I won’t be in danger. As for Xiao Yan, let her stay here. With your protection, I can rest a little easier. Now that her mother is gone, I don’t want anything else to happen to her, so I entrust her to you," Lin Tianhai said with a serious expression.
Ye Luo pondered for a mont and nodded, "If Uncle Lin has already decided, I won’t insist. However, take this Body Tempering Pill; it might enhance your strength a bit."
"Body Tempering Pill? How do you have such elixirs?"
Lin Tianhai looked at the pill in his hand, with surprise etched across his face as he looked at Ye Luo.
"You don’t need to worry about that, Uncle Lin. Just take it and use it," Ye Luo said with a smile.
Lin Tianhai nodded, accepting the Body Tempering Pill.
At Ling Corporation, Ye Luo walked in with Xue Tu in tow.
"Boss, who is this?"
Hei Zi and Hu Zi looked at Xue Tu, both of them expressing their astonishnt, especially when they felt the aura emanating from Xue Tu; they both had a feeling of trepidation and their expressions turned serious.
"This is Xue Tu, a brother of mine. From now on, he will be your colleague," Ye Luo introduced.
"Boss, your brother seems to be quite the expert," Hei Zi observed Xue Tu, while Hu Zi’s eyes flashed with battle will as he stared at Xue Tu, who remained expressionless and unfazed.
"You better not ss with him, or you’ll regret it," Ye Luo said with a smile before he took Xue Tu to the human resources departnt to handle the formalities. When he returned to the security departnt, he saw Hou Dayong, whose eyes shifted instantly upon seeing Ye Luo.
"Director Hou, long ti no see. How have you been recently?" Ye Luo greeted Hou Dayong with enthusiasm.
"All good, all good," Hou Dayong nodded and replied.
Pointing to Xue Tu, Ye Luo said, "Oh, right, Director Hou, this is a brother of mine who has just joined the security departnt. I’ll count on you to take good care of him."
Hou Dayong glanced at Xue Tu and gave an awkward smile.
At that mont, Ye Luo received a call from Ling Qingya asking him to co to her office.
Arriving at the twenty-fifth floor of Ling Corporation, Ye Luo reached the outside of Ling Qingya’s office to find her secretary Zhou Siqi busy writing sothing. Ye Luo approached and greeted her.
