Chapter 81 Rescue
The man tied his shoelaces, stood up, and walked into the crowd. In a flash, only a glimpse of his clothes could be seen.
Yu Che's heart was filled with alarm, and he turned to Mu Feng and said, "I have something urgent, I'll contact you by phone later." After that, he chased after him without looking back.
Mu Feng held the white porcelain bottle, looked at the receding figure, and scratched his head.
Yu Che followed the mysterious man closely, passing through waves of people and arriving at an abandoned, unfinished building on the edge of the ghost market.
At the ground entrance, there were two people whose eyes were always wandering around, as if they were guarding. The mysterious man walked forward, lifted his mask, revealing a face he knew, and the two people let him pass.
Yu Che didn't want to alert the enemy, so he circled the unfinished building from a distance. The entire building had only one entrance and exit, but windows were pre-opened on the stairs on each floor at the back.
There was no leverage on the wall, and it was even covered with slippery moss, making it impossible to climb up.
Behind the building is a patch of woods and thickets, with vines entwined around the walls. No one is managing them, so they grow wildly.
Yu Che climbed up the tree trunk closest to the building, then turned around and jumped onto the second floor.
Inside, the walls were made of lime, a rough rough. Apart from the supporting columns, the entire structure was clear at a glance. He followed the faint sounds of conversation and crept all the way to the top floor.
Sometimes, spiritual exploration is even more acute in the perception of a cultivator. Yu Che chose the most unpretentious way, peeking out from the stairs.
Five people gathered on the rooftop, including the mysterious man from before. He had taken off his mask, revealing the face of an unfamiliar middle-aged man, slightly thin and with a gloomy expression.
He moved his mouth and was saying something to the four people.
The distance was still quite far, and Yu Che could hardly hear what the mysterious man said. He frowned slightly and glanced at the place diagonally in front of the stairs.
There was a pile of scattered red bricks, half a meter high, enough to hide a squatting person.
Yu Che bent down and took small steps forward, concentrating on paying attention to the movements of the five people. In a moment, he was careless and stepped on a stone, making a tiny sound.
The person closest to Yu Che suddenly turned his head, glanced behind him, and narrowed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Shhh."
At this time, there was another noise.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
"Fuck, it's huge! Cockroaches also mutate, there's no need for that."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and someone shot out a magic arrow. The cockroaches on the ground instantly broke into pieces, and yellow-white blood plasma burst out.
When Yu Che heard the noise of the stones, he didn't wait for them to react. He rolled over without hesitation and hid behind the pile of red bricks, lying motionless.
Hearing their conversation, a cold sweat broke out on my back. I opened my mouth slightly and tried hard to regulate my breathing and slow my racing heartbeat.
As if their doubts were dispelled, the five people continued with the previous topic.
The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "A kid publicly said that there was something wrong with the magic weapon refined by the master, which attracted a lot of attention. It seems that we can't stay in this ghost market any longer."
"What? Who is so blind as to ruin our good thing?" a fat and strong man shouted angrily.
"Just moved here, and it's ruined like this, damn!"
"We must teach him a lesson. Lao Wu, can you still find that kid?"
The mysterious man nodded, "I've placed a locating spell on him. He'll definitely pay the price. Let me see where he is... huh?!"
As he chanted the spell, his face suddenly changed as he finished speaking, "The mark senses him, he's within a hundred meters!"
The four of them were extremely surprised when they heard this. Their eyes moved rapidly, and finally they stared at the direction of the red brick pile where Yu Che was hiding.
One of them said, "Block the stairs!"
The big guy pushed with both hands, and a flash of inspiration appeared. In a few seconds, a thick earth wall grew out of thin air at the entrance of the stairs, which was airtight.
Ever since the mysterious man began to cast the spell, Yu Che thought to himself that things were bad. He had not expected the situation to change so suddenly. Just as he was about to leave, the earth wall was already formed in front of him.
The mysterious man smiled grimly: "Boy, there is no escape for you. Get out here and we will leave you with an intact body."
Yu Che's heart raced. This was the most thrilling challenge he had faced since his rebirth. Five enemies against one, and he hadn't yet fully grasped their strength. His chances of victory were slim.
"Why don't you come out honestly? Then don't blame us for being rude." The big guy lost his patience, strode forward, and waved his hand, trying to throw the man and the brick away.
Just before he was about to unleash his spiritual power, Yu Che stopped being silent. He took the initiative and stretched out his palm. The brick pile suddenly exploded, and the broken pieces scattered to the ground like flowers scattered by a fairy, raising dust.
At this moment, Yu Che leaped up, his fist wrapped in lightning, and smashed hard into the left chest of the big guy whose vision was suddenly blocked.
“Uhh—”
A sharp pain came over him, and his spiritual power turned into an electric current, which continued to destroy the blood supply to the heart, and white light flashed before his eyes.
The big guy staggered and fell to the ground, his body curled up like a shrimp, his hands clutching his chest, his mouth wide open as if he couldn't breathe, his face turning blue.
"Old Four!"
“Damn it!”
It happened so fast that the other four people watched it with bloodshot eyes, and immediately reacted with a few howls.
The four of them surrounded and pounced, the evil energy surged, and the battle was about to break out.
Yu Che's eyes were cold, knowing that this battle was inevitable, so he took the initiative to attack. He took the initiative to meet the two attackers from the left, intending to break the siege.
However, the four of them had perfect tacit understanding. As soon as Yu Che moved, they immediately moved their feet and stood in the corresponding positions.
The evil energy in his body gathered into a bundle, weaving into a blue-gray spiritual net, and Yu Che in the center was the little bug waiting to be caught.
The formation was complete, and the pressure was increasing layer by layer. Yu Che's body felt heavy as if filled with lead, and his every move became slow, and the circulation of spiritual energy in his body was also extremely sluggish.
He tried his best to remain calm, looked around, and deconstructed the key nodes of the formation.
Holding his right arm with his left hand for leverage, Yu Che shouted angrily and tried to perform the Thunder Art. However, the lightning was like a drop in the ocean, and most of its power was absorbed by the evil formation and merged with it.
The big guy also slowed down at this time, his eyes flashing green, and he joined the center of the formation while panting. He raised one hand, and evil energy flowed out from his palm, adding more fuel to the evil formation.
Only at this moment did the formation enter its final deadly form.
"Don't struggle in vain! It's your luck that you can enjoy our soul-devouring formation before you die." The mysterious man laughed.
As they were talking for a while, the formation glowed brighter, the wind howled, and the scene was very strange.
The pressure from all directions made Yu Che feel as if he was being crushed, causing his soul to ache dully.
Streaks of light emanated from the center of the formation, entangling Yu Che and absorbing the spiritual power from his sea of consciousness. Yu Che struggled continuously, lightning flashing all over his body and making crackling sounds.
Although he shook off the intrusion of the dark light, he was still unable to break free from the shackles. He felt that his spiritual power was being consumed rapidly.
I can't just sit there and wait for death. Yu Che's eyes turned fierce, and he urged his blood to flow backwards. He sprayed a mouthful of blood into his palms, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Boom—"
A vast thunderous force burst out from his body, forcibly expanding a small vacuum zone.
Yu Che took advantage of this opportunity and rushed towards the side of the formation where the energy was relatively weak - that was the side of the newly joined big guy.
"Stop him!" the mysterious man shouted.
The others frantically mobilized their evil spirits, strengthening the formation once again and converging into a concentrated beam of energy. Yu Che had no time to break through the massive figure and was forced to face him head-on.
He circled his palms, forming a ball of purple lightning. The purple light reflected on his face, and the madness in his eyes flickered.
"Bang--"
Two energies, one good and one evil, collided, and the air waves were overwhelming.
Two light sources with completely different auras collided with each other, lightning wrapped around black fog, and the black fog wrapped around lightning, tearing it apart, causing the air to distort.
Yu Che held his breath and stared, his eyes fixed on the scene. This was already his full-strength attack.
However, as the flames from both sides faded, the combined strength of the five men was ultimately superior.
After the purple lightning ball was destroyed, although the evil energy had its power reduced by half, it was still as powerful as breaking through the ground, shattering Yu Che's protective barrier and hitting his chest directly.
Yu Che felt a fatal threat and quickly crossed his arms, trying to form a shield with his spiritual power.
Under the powerful impact, the hastily constructed lightning shield flickered, but ultimately collapsed under the weight. The remaining evil energy slammed into Yu Che's chest.
Yu Che groaned, his body dominated by this huge thrust, flying backwards, his blood surging in his body, and his vision went black.
He had already retreated to the edge of the rooftop, with half of his foot hanging in the air and gravel falling down.
"Goodbye, kid," the mysterious man said with a sinister grin. The five of them simultaneously formed hand seals, and a dark light condensed in the center of the formation, dashing towards Yu Che's heart.
With his life hanging by a thread, Yu Che's eyes flashed with determination. He used up all his remaining spiritual power to gather it in his arms and rushed forward to meet the enemy head-on.
The terrifying pressure came first, and Yu Che's hair stood on end. The dark light followed closely behind. Yu Che felt as if he was run over by a huge truck, and his whole body was in great pain. He was knocked over by this force and fell straight out of the building.
It was difficult to perform lightness skills in mid-air. He half-closed his scarlet eyes, and the building passed by his eyes quickly. The sound of wind in his ears was like a roar of drums.
Countless dry branches broke with a crackling sound, and Yu Che fell into the bushes downstairs.
The night was dark, and looking down, the weak figure disappeared under the lush branches and leaves.
If they were alive, they would see the person; if they were dead, they would see the body. The five people on the rooftop blasted open the earthen wall and immediately rushed downstairs.
However, unexpectedly, they turned the area upside down and found no other clues except for some bushes with marks on them and a spurting trail of blood.
The young man who was seriously injured and fell from the building disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
The cooked duck can still fly away. The five people exchanged glances and were all furious.
"He was so badly injured, how could he escape right under our noses!" The big guy was puzzled.
The mysterious man who had been sensing with his eyes closed suddenly opened them: "...The locating spell has been lifted."
He looked around and said sternly, "Use this place as the center and expand the search area. He won't be able to get far!"
…
Yu Che's consciousness seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and he struggled to float up. First, he felt a persistent dizziness, followed by a dull pain that felt like his whole body was falling apart.
Yu Che slowly raised his eyelids, and was dazzled by the crystal chandelier above his head. He blinked a few times before gradually adapting.
The memories before he fell into a coma gradually pieced together. He looked around. It was a luxuriously decorated bedroom. He stroked the quilt and sheets, which felt smooth, like the legendary silk.
Yu Che guessed: Normally, prisoners don't get this kind of treatment. But now...
At this moment, Yu Che heard the bathroom door open. A man in his thirties or forties came out. Seeing that the person on the bed had opened his eyes, he smiled and said, "Awake?"
The man was wearing a long gown and had an elegant demeanor. Yu Che tilted his head and asked, "Did you save me?"
Hearing this, the man pondered for a moment: "Hmm... yes and no, Young Master Chu asked me to heal you."
After saying that, the man walked towards the desk in the bedroom. Yu Che only then noticed that there was a medicine box on the desk.
Young Master Chu...Chu Yanxing?!
Yu Che's pupils shrank slightly. How could it be him?
Unaware of the surging waves within Yu Che, the man stepped forward, cyan spiritual energy emerging from his palm. He sensed it carefully for more than ten seconds, then withdrew his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
He first asked: "Are you dizzy now?"
Yu Che hummed, looking up at the man.
The man said gently, "This is normal. I heard from the young master that you fell from the top floor. A CT scan of your head showed that you have a mild concussion. You will be fine after three to five days of rest."
Hearing this, Yu Che couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
How did Chu Yanxing happen to be there? How much did he see?
What was his purpose in saving me?
A thousand thoughts came to my mind, and at that moment, my brain felt like it was being pierced by a needle.
"hiss--"
Yu Che couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing this, the man seemed to see Yu Che's problem and sighed.
"You shouldn't think too much now," the man put the scattered instruments back into the medicine box.
"The rest of your injuries have been treated. This is a residence of the Chu family. The young master has instructed that you rest well here. I will take my leave first."
Yu Che thanked the man and watched him leave after closing the door. The bedroom was completely silent, with only the chirping of birds outside the window.
He blinked hesitantly, his mind groggy.
Forget it, we will just fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.
Yu Che adjusted his lying position, buried half of his chin in the quilt, closed his eyelids, and fell asleep again.
