Chapter 1781: Killing with a borrowed knife is also a skill

Min Jin and the other man followed behind, a cold smile on their faces. “We’re going in. Let’s see if the City Lord’s Mansion dares to protect him.”

The two of them followed closely, their Killing Intent surging, breaking through countless guards one after another.

Ye Bufan entered the mansion gate without any hesitation, rushing directly towards the woman’s room.

Seeing that Lei Yang and the other man had already caught up behind him, he crashed through the door with a bang and rushed into the room.

“Dr. Ye!”

At this moment, Zhai Tianfang and the others had already sensed that something was amiss outside. Just as they became alert, they saw Ye Bufan rush in.

“Boy, no one can protect you today!”

Lei Yang roared, raising his hand to strike Ye Bufan’s back.

“How dare you!”

Zhai Tianfang and Zhai Lingxiu both roared at the same time, drawing their sabers from their waists and slashing forward.

Unfortunately, their Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, while impressive in front of others, seemed too weak when facing two Middle Stage Soul Transformation experts.

Min Jin waved his wide sleeve, and an invisible surge of Qi sent the two flying with a bang.

Lei Yang, however, was unaffected. His massive palm slammed heavily towards Ye Bufan’s back.

A cold sneer hung on his lips. What if it was the City Lord’s Mansion? What if he had gone to great lengths to escape here? In front of him, no one could save this boy.

Just as he was feeling immensely pleased, a huge sense of crisis suddenly struck. Immediately after, a long sword appeared out of thin air on his left, stabbing towards his ribs with the speed of lightning.

“There’s an expert!”

Lei Yang’s expression changed drastically. The opponent’s cultivation was not inferior to his at all; in fact, it was even stronger.

He couldn’t understand when the small Tianlang City Lord’s Mansion had gained a Divine Rank expert.

But at this moment, he had no time to think carefully. Under the immense crisis, he quickly retracted his right palm, tipped his toes, and used all his strength to dodge backward.

Even so, it was still a little late. The opponent’s sword technique was simply too fast, directly cutting a long, thin bloody wound on his lower abdomen, and fresh blood splattered.

That wasn’t all. Another figure flashed to his right, then slammed a palm onto his chest.

The already injured Lei Yang had no power to resist and immediately flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood in mid-air.

What astonished him even more was that within his sight, Protector Min Jin had also been defeated by two other Black-Clothed Men, his left arm falling to the ground.

“These are Shadow Guards!”

The two of them recognized the opponents’ identities and dared not stay for another moment. They turned and ran, fleeing in disarray towards the outside of the mansion.

Looking at their retreating figures, Ye Bufan called out mockingly, “Two Protectors, don’t run! Didn’t you just say that even the King of Heaven couldn’t save me? Why are you fleeing now?”

Lei Yang and the other man were furious, but they dared not stop for a second, disappearing outside the City Lord’s Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Ye Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten rid of these two annoying guys; otherwise, today would have been truly troublesome.

At the same time, he was secretly shocked. He had known that this woman’s identity was not simple, but he hadn’t expected her to have four such powerful guards by her side.

He glanced at the woman behind the curtain, unsure how to address her, and finally said, “I thank you for saving my life!”

“You treat my illness, and I save your life. We owe each other nothing!”

The woman’s voice was very calm, seemingly without any emotional fluctuation, but it made things clear. The implication was that her intervention this time counted as payment for his consultation fee.

Zhai Lingxiu stepped forward with concern and asked, “Dr. Ye, are you alright?”

Ye Bufan chuckled, “I’m fine, thankfully I ran fast.”

Hearing him speak like that, the four Black-Clothed Guards beside them all showed a hint of disdain in their eyes, clearly despising his act of seeking shelter just now.

Ye Bufan saw it clearly but didn’t care at all. At critical moments, preserving one’s life and strength was most important. Moreover, using others to achieve one’s goals was also a skill, and not everyone could do it.

Zhai Tianfang stepped forward and asked, “Divine Doctor Ye, who were those two people?”

Ye Bufan said, “This is my first time seeing them too. I heard they are the Left and Right Protectors of the North Sky Sword Sect, helpers brought by the He Family.”

Zhai Tianfang knew a little about the grudges between him and the He Family, and also knew that the North Sky Sword Sect was the He Family’s backer, so he was not surprised by this.

Zhai Lingxiu smiled, “Dr. Ye, you’re really unlucky. Every time you come to treat an illness, you encounter someone chasing you.”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Let’s hurry up and treat the illness.”

Ye Bufan was also not one to procrastinate and began his second acupuncture treatment for the woman.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, the treatment was also easier compared to yesterday. After about 20 minutes, he had completely cleared the cold Qi from the woman’s Lesser Yin Meridians.

“Alright, continue to take the Medicinal Pills for nourishing the Meridians according to the prescription. I’ll come back to treat you at this time tomorrow.”

After speaking, he left and found a quiet room to recover his cultivation.

Today’s situation was much better than yesterday. After about ten minutes, he was fully recovered and then left the City Lord’s Mansion.

Originally, he and the He Family had settled their previous grievances, but now that the other party was relentless and had even invited experts to deal with him, this debt naturally needed to be properly settled.

Also, the Fang family. Previously, he hadn’t had time to deal with them because he was busy with the Kyoto Li Family’s people. Now that even the two Protectors of the North Sky Sword Sect had been dealt with, there was no need to let others do it.

As the saying goes, even a landlord’s family has no surplus grain. The people of this guild cost money, and no matter how much money he had, he couldn’t waste it casually.

The Fang family was the closest to the City Lord’s Mansion, so he didn’t hesitate at all and went straight to the Fang family as his first stop.

At the Jubao Pavilion, Luo Yudie sat in her room, tidying her hair in front of a dressing mirror.

“This Little brother, I wonder where he got this mirror. How can it be so clear? It’s much better than the bronze mirrors we have now.”

After a moment of emotion, she looked up at Fu Haishan, who was standing beside her.

“How are things? Is there any movement from the Li Family?”

“No!” Fu Haishan said with a solemn expression, “Last night, the Li Family’s people stayed at the Fula Inn. They were fine originally, but for some reason, they all disappeared this morning, and no one saw where they went.”

“Disappeared?” Luo Yudie frowned slightly. “Could they have secretly left the inn to deal with Little brother?”

“Our people have been watching outside, and they haven’t seen any signs of them leaving. At the Taiping Medical Center, there’s no sign of the Li Family either.”

Fu Haishan said, “I suspect that the expert behind Dr. Ye made a move and silently eliminated all seven of them.”

“That is indeed possible.”

Luo Yudie nodded, her expression also becoming serious. After all, the Li Family’s strength on this trip was much stronger than the Shang Family’s.

Two Soul Transformation Realm experts, plus five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, were eliminated so silently. It was truly terrifying.

“What about the Taiping Medical Center? How are things there?”

She had just received the news and immediately sent a message to Ye Bufan, but she didn’t know if he could handle it, after all, those were two Middle Stage Soul Transformation experts.

The incident happened suddenly, and if his Master wasn’t by his side, the situation would be very dangerous.
