“Second Master!”
Soon, these black-clad martial artists all showed a respectful demeanor. From another side, three martial artists surrounded and approached, with a robust man wearing a blade at his waist in the middle.
This sturdy man was exceptionally burly, his black hair casually draped, his entire body emanating an aura that gripped people’s souls, as if a single roar or glance from him could make one’s heart skip a beat!
Seeing this black-haired robust man, the woman’s body obviously tensed even more, her hand clutching the blade grew tighter.
“Miss Yu Jiao, you sure can run. I’ve been chasing you for more than a hundred li.”
The black-haired robust man said, cracking a grin as he saw the woman.
Yu Jiao clenched her teeth: “Second Master Cao, why must you force things to such an extreme? We have no grudge between us. If I have offended you in any way, I’m willing to apologize and make amends!”
“No grudge? Your White Jade Gang people killed my eldest brother’s only son. The hostilities between our two gangs have long been like fire and water; where’s the absence of grudge?”
The black-haired robust man said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“Huh? They’re from the White Jade Gang and the Black Cavalry Gang?”
In the bushes, Su Changkong, who had been holding his breath and even slowed his blood flow to an extreme crawl, was somewhat surprised as he overheard the conversation between the two parties.
The woman being pursued was named Yu Jiao, a member of the White Jade Gang, while the black-haired robust man pursuing her was from the Black Cavalry Gang, and based on Yu Jiao’s address, the man was Cao Hong, the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang!
Initially, the White Jade Gang and the Black Cavalry Gang were like two tigers on one mountain, not tolerating the other. To avenge his comrades from Black Iron Manor, Su Changkong had disguised himself as a disciple of the White Jade Gang, and had assassinated Shi Hanshan, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Cavalry Gang, which had completely torn apart the facades between the two gangs. Over the recent years, the skirmishes between the two had seen casualties on both sides.
Yu Jiao, being a member of the White Jade Gang with not a low status at that, was being hunted by Cao Hong!
“It’s better to resolve enmity than to hold it. My father is Yu Sha, the Deputy Gang Leader of the White Jade Gang. I will make him order the disciple who killed Shi Hanshan to come forward and apologize to the Black Cavalry Gang,” Yu Jiao said through gritted teeth.
Most people believed that Shi Hanshan’s killer was a disciple of the White Jade Gang, but Yu Jiao, as the daughter of the Deputy Gang Leader, knew otherwise. The real identity of the killer had not been unveiled by the White Jade Gang.
Right now, Yu Jiao was making empty promises she couldn’t fulfill, solely to fight for a chance to save her life.
“Humph… The war between our two gangs has started not just because of my nephew. Unless the White Jade Gang is annihilated, the war will not stop!”
Cao Hong remained unmoved. The animosity between the two gangs had flared into true hostilities, becoming a fight to the death. War would only end if one side was consumed or destroyed!
“And this Blade Nurturing Art… extremely precious, originally intended as a birthday gift for the Gang Leader. I can give it to you as well!”
Yu Jiao desperately fought for a chance at survival, hastily making her offer.
“That’s enough, Yu Jiao. Stop with these useless tricks in front of me. I know you’re a ruthless woman, as vicious as a serpent. For the sake of this ‘Blade Nurturing Art’ manual, you wiped out the entire family of Broken Blade Guest. Now you only have two choices: fight back and be killed by me or drop your weapon, seal your dantian, and surrender! Out of consideration for the fact that you are that old guy Yu Sha’s daughter, I might spare your life for the time being!”
But the corners of Cao Hong’s mouth twitched slightly, with no intention of humoring Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao’s pretty face grew uglier and paler by the moment.
In just a few days, it would be Bai Tianhao’s, the Gang Leader of the White Jade Gang, fiftieth birthday, and Yu Jiao had put some thought into a present.
In Clearwater City’s vicinity, there was a famous blade expert known as the Broken Blade Guest, whose very name made the martial world of Clearwater City tremble with fear and respect.
This was because the Broken Blade Guest seldom fought, but once he did, he would invariably cut down his opponents with a single blade strike, even including one or two experts of the Divine Strength Realm, which, without a doubt, made his reputation soar and his name widely feared.
Rumors said that Broken Blade Guest’s formidable blade technique was due to his accidental acquisition of a certain “Blade Nurturing Art.”
Yu Jiao set her sights on the Broken Blade Guest, intending to obtain this “Blade Nurturing Art” as a birthday gift for the fiftieth birthday of the White Jade Gang’s Gang Leader.
Yu Jiao didn’t directly confront Broken Blade Guest; instead, she took several subordinates, kidnapped his wife and child, and easily forced him to give in and hand over the “Blade Nurturing Art” manual.
Afterward, Yu Jiao eradicated all traces by secretly dealing with the entire family of Broken Blade Guest. Everything seemed quite smooth.
Unexpectedly caught in the middle, like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of the oriole behind, Yu Jiao and her party were targeted by Cao Hong, the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang, on their way back. They were relentlessly pursued, and all of Yu Jiao’s entourage had died. Only Yu Jiao kept fleeing, but she still ended up trapped in this forest.
Yu Jiao’s complexion shifted. Fight back? She had no chance of winning against Cao Hong alone, let alone with the ten-plus elite members of the Black Cavalry Gang nearby.
As for surrendering… Yu Jiao saw those eyes around her, like those of ravenous wolves, unabashedly roaming over her shapely figure. She knew all too well that if she surrendered, her fate would be worse than death!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Yu Jiao’s mind. She looked towards a clump of bushes and shouted, “Run! Go back and tell my father that the one who kills me is Cao Hong, the Second Master of the Black Cavalry Gang! Let him avenge me!”
“This despicable woman!”
Hidden within the bushes, concealed and holding his breath, Su Changkong’s face suddenly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he cursed inwardly.
This sudden outcry from Yu Jiao had revealed his hiding place, clearly intended to drag him into the fray to create chaos, drawing Cao Hong and the others’ attention. This might also afford her a slim chance of survival!
