Xu Bailin didn’t even stand still for a moment. His entire body was blasted away at the same speed. In the air, he raised the bar mace and prepared to receive the second saber move.

But Ye Jingtang didn’t continue attacking. Instead, he retracted his saber. Then like a dragonfly skimming water, he jumped onto a roof and scanned his surroundings to avoid being ambushed.

Whoosh!

In an instant, broken wood flew in the alley, and the screams of countless men and women sounded.

Xu Bailin’s feet landed on the ground, but he still maintained the posture of blocking. Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn’t continue the attack, he turned around and fled without hesitation.

When Ye Jingtang realized that no one was ambushing him and could hear the sound of rushing wind from afar, he knew that he had really dug up the hiding place of Xu Bailin and the others. He immediately shouted, “Keep an eye on the fleeing person. Don’t easily engage the enemy!”

Hearing this, Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun rushed out of the carriage and quickly jumped onto a house.

While speaking, Ye Jingtang had already rushed across the roof with his saber and chased after the escaping Xu Bailin.

Xu Bailin didn’t have any desire to fight to begin with. Seeing that there were still experts from the Black Office behind him, he directly gave up the idea of meeting up with Cao Aning and flew toward the city wall. Along the way, his right foot kicked away bricks and tiles at the commoners running in the alley.

“Ahhhh!”

A few running commoners immediately fell to the ground with blood on their heads.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang flew into a rage. It was impossible for him to ignore it. His body exploded like black lightning, and he moved left and right in the alley, blocking the bricks and tiles with his blade and gravel.

Bricks and stones flew everywhere in the old street, and screams soared into the sky, sounding like boiling water suddenly exploding in a pot.

Xu Bailin relied on creating chaos to escape. Although this method had no morality at all, it was indeed effective against the constables of the Imperial Court.

Bricks and stones were thrown into the distance. Even though Ye Jingtang’s movement technique was superb, under the situation of jumping left and right, he would definitely quickly fall behind.

Ye Jingtang knew that if he continued to chase after him, Xu Bailin would be driven into desperation and kill people indiscriminately. He immediately wanted to stop and turn around to chase after the bandits on the other side.

But what Ye Jingtang and Xu Bailin didn’t expect was that just as some distance opened up between them, a sharp arrow pierced through the clouds from the dark and headed straight for Xu Bailin’s next landing point!

Swish!

Xu Bailin was caught off guard. He retracted his legs in the air and smashed the hidden arrow aimed at his legs with his mace. But his fleeing figure paused slightly, and he landed on an old limestone street.

Plop!

Although Xu Bailin bounced up after landing, Ye Jingtang’s reaction wasn’t slow. When the hidden arrow came, he knew that Xu Bailin would definitely dodge. His figure had already rushed to the old street, holding his saber and waiting to attack.

Although Xu Bailin wasn’t afraid of hidden arrows coming from afar, blocking them would definitely interfere with his movement technique. Under the circumstances of being chased by Ye Jingtang, this was almost a matter of life and death. After getting up, he quickly moved. With his back against the pillar of a restaurant, he blocked the archer’s vision and faced the formidable Ye Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang thought that the constables of the Black Office were secretly shooting arrows to intercept Xu Bailin. He wanted to attack again, but when he moved his feet, he felt that something was wrong.

Tread, tread, tread…

Two hurried footsteps came from the side of the street. From the direction they were moving, they were circling behind him.

??

After sensing that something was wrong, Ye Jingtang immediately raised his saber in front of him. From the corner of his eye, he locked onto Xu Bailin outside the restaurant and the alley behind him.

Xu Bailin was a little confused. Seeing that the opponent wasn’t blocking his way, he wanted to escape, but he was afraid that there would be another ambush, so he could only sense the surroundings carefully.

Tread, tread, tread!

But in an instant, a short and burly man rolled out of the alley. He was holding an iron shield and a saber in his hand as he half-crouched on the old street, locking onto Ye Jingtang in front of him.

As for the other taller man, he landed on a roof, holding a strong bow in his left hand and a seven-foot-long spear in his right hand. After appearing, he leaned the spear on his leg and nocked an arrow on the strong bow.

Under the moon, the old street fell silent.

Ye Jingtang wasn’t blind. From the size and compatibility of these two people, he recognized them as the professional murderers who had tried to assassinate him at the Baoyuan School a few days ago. He was a little puzzled. How did these two discover his Ye Silang identity?

Xu Bailin was rather dumbfounded. He looked at the man in black holding the strong bow on the roof, recalled for a moment, and asked in shock, “Mountain Collapsing Tiger? Have you become a lackey of the Imperial Court?!”

Wang Chengjing and his brother were wanderers from Yan Province, while Xu Bailin was a wanderer from the Heavenly South. Although Xu Bailin was more famous, the Wang brothers had always fought two against one, and their overall strength was very high. Their status in Jianghu was on par with his. They moved around Jianghu all year round, so it wasn’t strange for them to hear about each other.

Wang Chengjing had recognized Xu Bailin just now, so he had shot an arrow to block his way. “No. I took a job to take this kid’s head.”

?!

When Xu Bailin heard this, his face turned green. “Why did you shoot me when you came to kill him? Can’t you see that I’m being chased by him?”

Second Wang held his shield with a cautious gaze. “This kid’s martial arts skills don’t seem low, and he even wants to kill you. The two of us will help you kill him.”

“F*ck you!” How could Xu Bailin not understand that these two people wanted him to be cannon fodder in the front? He immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

Swish!

Just as he took a step forward, Wang Chengjing drew his bow and shot an arrow toward Xu Bailin’s path. The arrow exploded in midair, turning into thousands of poisonous needles.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Xu Bailin’s expression changed drastically. He flew back to hide behind the pillar and said angrily, “Wang brothers, are you f*cking crazy?”

Ye Jingtang was also a little confused. While being cautious, he frowned and asked, “Did you two provide the tip that Xu Bailin hid here?”

Wang Chengjing was quite honest. “At first, I didn’t know it was Xu Bailin. Otherwise, I would have discussed it with him in advance.”

“You f*cking directed him to me?!” The blood vessels in Xu Bailin’s head almost exploded from anger..
