Yellow Spring Handwritten Notes

My name is Duan Shenxing, a pawnshop owner. I thought I would live an ordinary, uneventful life, but the dragon-patterned jade pendant and handwritten notes left by my grandfather led me to uncover...

Chapter 702 Mission Accomplished

Duan Jinyan is a skilled fighter. The moment he raised his arm to block his view, he guessed that I was going to attack him. Even without looking at me, he instinctively took a step back to prevent my surprise attack.

Although my kung fu skills are not as good as Duan Jinyan's, I was still able to seize many of his weaknesses when he lost sight. After missing with my stab, I flipped my wrist and slashed at his leg.

Duan Jinyan saw the trajectory of my knife through my arm, and used his other hand to deliver a short punch to my arm joint.

My attack on his lower body was a feint. While Duan Jinyan made his move, I held a throwing knife in my other hand and slashed it directly at his arm that was blocking his view.

Duan Jinyan was caught off guard by the attack. He turned his body to the side in pain and stared at my body out of the corner of his eye. He began to fight me with one arm.

Seeing that I was entangled with Duan Jinyan, Jiang Man held the powerful flashlight in her hand and kept shining it on Duan Jinyan's face to cover for me.

With Jiang Man's help, Duan Jinyan was unable to turn around at all. After exchanging seven or eight blows with me, he was at a disadvantage.

Seeing that Duan Jinyan was gradually losing ground, I delivered a whip kick to his face, forcing him to turn his face to the side.

As Duan Jinyan turned his head, Jiang Man's flashlight beam shone directly on his face, causing him to close his eyes.

Seeing that Duan Jinyan had lost sight of me, I grabbed his arm, threw him over my shoulder and pinned him to the ground, then punched him in the face.

Duan Jinyan anticipated my attack trajectory, grabbed my wrist, flipped me over and pinned me behind him, while I grabbed his clothes and we began to struggle.

The hall was pitch black except for our side, which still had lights on. I was afraid that if we delayed any longer, the light source would attract attacks from others and also draw Duan Jinyan's men over. So, I used all my strength to hold onto his body, lifted him up, and turned his back to Jiang Man: "Fire!"

Jiang Man had already realized that I was no match for Duan Jinyan, and upon hearing my shout, she rushed forward with her gun.

"Bang!"

Just as Jiang Man made her move, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and kicked Jiang Man's wrist, knocking her gun away.

Immediately afterwards, that person rushed towards Jiang Man.

After Jiang Man fought with another person, her flashlight was quickly knocked away, and my surroundings were plunged into darkness again.

Duan Jinyan seized the opportunity, broke free from my arms, flipped over and pinned me down, raining down punches on me.

I bent my arm to withstand Duan Jinyan's attack, and in the chaos, I pulled out a throwing knife and stabbed it straight at Duan Jinyan's body.

"Pfft!"

After I stabbed him, a stream of warm blood sprayed directly onto my hand.

In the darkness, I had no idea where I had stabbed Duan Jinyan. To prevent Duan Jinyan from escaping, I drew my knife and prepared to stab him a second time.

At the same time, another flashlight beam shone in this direction, hitting my face directly.

Taking advantage of my brief moment of blindness, Duan Jinyan grabbed my hand holding the knife, punched me to the ground, and then pulled out a throwing knife from my waist, slashing it towards my neck.

Seeing Duan Jinyan's actions, I quickly grabbed his arm.

"Crackling and popping!"

Just as I was struggling with Duan Jinyan, a blue bolt of lightning flashed past me and then struck Duan Jinyan.

The power of the electric baton knocked Duan Jinyan off me in an instant.

I saw Duan Jinyan fall, so I pressed down on his face and slammed the back of his head against the ground.

When an ordinary person is attacked with an electric baton, their body will be paralyzed for a long time. However, Duan Jinyan is clearly different from ordinary people. After being attacked by me, he put his palm behind his head and punched me with his other hand.

Before I could even make a move, a figure pounced from the side and pinned Duan Jinyan down.

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see who was rushing at me. We ended up on top of Duan Jinyan together.

Duan Jinyan had just been stabbed by me and was now hit by an electric baton, but he was still incredibly strong. The people who rushed up and I pressed down on him, but even the two of us couldn't defeat him.

Just as Duan Jinyan was about to break free, Jiang Man finally freed herself from her opponent and rushed up to pin down Duan Jinyan's legs, completely restraining him.

The man who had helped me pressed down on Duan Jinyan and gritted his teeth, saying, "Big brother, tie him up!"

I recognized Lin Que's voice and glanced at him in the dim light: "How did you get to this place?"

Lin Que held Duan Jinyan's arm tightly: "Tie him up first, I can't hold him down anymore!"

I saw Lin Que's face turn red from holding back, and she pressed down on Duan Jinyan tightly. She took the rope that Jiang Man handed her and wrapped it around his arm.

"Let me go!"

Seeing my movements, Duan Jinyan began to struggle violently, shouting, "Leopard, come save me!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As soon as Duan Jinyan finished speaking, the gunfire in the distance suddenly intensified, probably because Leopard, who was fighting against Ping'an Village, was trying to break through.

I heard loud gunfire, tore a strip of cloth from Duan Jinyan's clothes and stuffed it into his mouth, then dragged him toward the exit: "This is no place to stay. We came here through a secret passage. That's where we can leave this place. Hurry up!"

Upon hearing my words, Lin Que and Jiang An dragged Duan Jinyan towards the exit and fled in the chaos.

For the people of Ping'an Village, our grudges were completely irrelevant to them. They only wanted to eliminate us all to prevent future troubles. Meanwhile, Hua Bao and the others were trapped on one side of the human face statue and had no way to break through.

Soon, we led Duan Jinyan out through the stone gate at the back.

I shone Lin Que's flashlight through the tomb passage outside to make sure there was no danger, then quickly walked towards the entrance of the secret passage, asking Lin Que, "Why are you all alone here? Where did everyone else go?"

"It's a long story. We were stuck in a secret passage, so we took turns clearing the obstacles. Following the marks you left, we found a house with many doors. However, the passage you marked was blocked, so we decided to split up to search for you. I was in a group with Lord Hou, but we got trapped in a tomb passage soon after entering. The passage was like a maze, and we quickly got separated."

Lin Que pulled Duan Jinyan along and continued, "I was originally looking for the Marquis, but somehow I ended up in this tomb passage. In order to find the others, I had to go further in. I just heard the explosion and gunshots, so I came here."

I suddenly realized: "So the flashlight beams that Duan Jinyan and the others saw earlier were caused by you."

Lin Que looked at me with a blank expression: "What light?"

I shone my flashlight on the secret passage we had come from earlier and quickened my pace: "It's nothing. Let's take Duan Jinyan in first. That secret passage connects to the tomb passages along the way, and we can also find a way to rescue the others."
