He Yiming also appeared. He only paused for a moment before nimbly leaping onto the wall. He glanced around and immediately caught sight of the black-clothed man's figure.
With a slight push from his legs, he dashed out and chased after the man as quickly as he could.
If it was the short and thin drunkard, He Yiming would still be wary of him and might not be willing to provoke him because of this matter.
After all, the drunkard was a customer of the Xu family. If he was discovered to have ambushed him, he would not be able to explain himself.
However, the one who was escaping was not the drunkard, but the other black-clothed man who had contacted him. Thus, He Yiming had less to worry about.
He was pressed for time and naturally did not want to drag this out too long. The other person was also very cautious, not daring to take the main road and only daring to pass through small alleys. Furthermore, his speed was not fast and could be said to be extremely cautious.
When he was a hundred meters away from the Cheng family, He Yiming suddenly sped up and appeared behind the black-clothed man like a whirlwind. His inner strength surged like a tide. At the same time, he extended a palm and the eighth layer of the Soft Palm silently slapped towards the man in front of him.
The biggest characteristic of Water-type Cultivation Techniques was that apart from having endless inner strength, it was also very light and soft. It was basically the best choice for sneak attacks.
However, the black-clothed man was very careful when he walked. Although He Yiming's appearance was rather abrupt, he still noticed that there was something strange behind him. The man's reaction was as fast as lightning. He exerted force from his legs and immediately dashed out like lightning. At the same time, he turned around in mid-air and glanced at He Yiming with a lightning-like gaze.
He Yiming frowned slightly and was secretly shocked. The man's strength might not be as good as the drunkard's, but he had obviously cultivated an extremely brilliant Light Body Cultivation Technique. He even had a feeling that if he let the man escape without caring about anything, it would be very difficult for him to catch up.
With a thought, He Yiming immediately withdrew his palm. It was a good thing that the Water Cultivation Technique was condensed and not released. Before the true inner strength was released, the other party would not be able to see the great power of this palm.
He Yiming coldly snorted, raised his head, and said in a condescending tone, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with the drunkard from the Xu family? Tell me honestly."
Sure enough, the black-clothed man's expression suddenly changed, and a sharp cold light shot out from his eyes.
When he saw He Yiming, he was also secretly shocked. This young man was actually able to silently sneak up behind him. Naturally, he was extremely shocked. Moreover, this place was not far from the Cheng Residence. If a fight broke out, it would definitely alarm the people of the Cheng Residence. Therefore, his first thought was to get as far away as possible from this place.
However, when He Yiming said those words, he immediately understood that there had to be an end to this matter. If the young man was allowed to reveal the drunkard's identity, it would also be a disaster for the black-clothed man.
When the black-clothed man glanced at He Yiming again, he instantly made up his mind. As powerful as the young man was, he could not be stronger than the black-clothed man. Since the young man wanted to court death, the black-clothed man would fulfill his wish.
"Your Excellency, who are you? What are you talking about? Please forgive me for not understanding." The black-clothed man lowered his voice and spoke nonsense with a hoarse accent, but he slowly inched forward.
He Yiming was relieved when he saw the black-clothed man's movement, but his expression did not change. "You don't need to care about who I am, but since I saw you colluding with the drunkard, you must return with me." A thick smile flashed across the black-clothed man's face. "If the Xu family finds out that I've found their traitor, they'll surely reward me."
As the black-clothed man said that, he thought, 'Who cares if there's a traitor in the Xu family? The more traitors there are, the better.' Besides, even if the black-clothed man went to the black-clothed man's house to correct him, the Xu family would not appreciate it.
That said, the black-clothed man did not know what the black-clothed man was thinking. He mumbled a few words, then he suddenly exerted force through his legs and pounced on He Yiming at the speed of lightning. The black-clothed man raised his hands at the same time, where the 5 fingers on each hand were put together to form a sharp awl. The black-clothed man's arms swayed strangely and unpredictably as if they had no joints. He looked like 2 venomous snakes that came out of their holes, and he attacked with a gloomy and cold air.
He Yiming's face suddenly revealed a look of shock. He didn't put on any pretense at all.
The black-clothed man's speed was faster than the black-clothed man had expected. The black-clothed man utilized the speed to the extreme, causing him to feel a real chill. Moreover, the black-clothed man's combat skill was so strange that the black-clothed man's arms actually carried a slight hissing sound.
The black-clothed man felt as if the black-clothed man's arms were two huge pythons that bared their venomous fangs, which made his hair stand on end.
He was certain that he had never heard of such a combat skill before. It was definitely a secret of a certain family. However, it was definitely not owned by any family in Taicang County. Otherwise, his father would have mentioned it to him long ago.
He Yiming was certain that the black-clothed man was a cultivator at the eighth level of inner strength when he felt the pressure from the black-clothed man's all-out attack. However, by relying on his elusive lightness technique and this strange combat skill, he could escape even if he encountered an ordinary expert at the ninth level of inner strength.
His mind raced as he suddenly raised both of his hands above his head and displayed the tenth form of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms without holding back.
However, when he used this innate combat skill, it was very different from before. His body lacked a strong aura that could split mountains and split the earth. Instead, it carried an inexplicable feminine aura.
It was this strange change that gave people a very uncomfortable and discordant feeling. It was as if one was tasting a feast and suddenly ate a fly in the middle of it.
Although the black-clothed man also had this feeling, he was already like an arrow on the bow and had no choice but to release it.
If He Yiming's Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms really had the same world-shaking aura as before, then he would definitely withdraw his attack and flee in defeat. However, now that he was displaying it in such a strange manner, he was determined to give it his all and fight.
In the next moment, the two men's four palms suddenly collided.
The black-clothed man's expression changed slightly. He had just tried his best to adjust the direction of his attack, wanting to avoid his opponent's palms and directly hit his body. However, he suddenly realized that the two palms coming down from the young man's head contained some kind of incomprehensible feeling. No matter how he changed, it was useless. In the end, he still collided with the two palms.
He was secretly shocked. 'What combat skill is this?'
However, just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he no longer had the time to be distracted. This was because the formidable power that came from his opponent's palms had made him lose all thoughts.
The surging power that was as mighty as a mountain instantly drowned him.
His body flew backward at a speed that was not inferior to when he came. He flew straight from one end of the street to another and heavily crashed into a wall.
He Yiming hurriedly dashed over. With a swipe of his hands, he had already pulled this person out of the broken bricks and tiles. Moreover, he ran away with the fastest speed possible.
100 meters away from the Cheng Residence. Although the person who lived there was not a wealthy family, he was still considered a top figure in Taicang County. Naturally, the residence was equipped with powerful guards, but by the time these people arrived, the house was already empty.
He Yiming was carrying a person, but it was effortless for him. He was not familiar with the county, but it was easy for him to find a deserted place in the wealthy district.
Soon enough, he arrived at a place that was similar to a woodshed. He Yiming placed the black-clothed man in a dark corner at the back of the house and could not help but smile bitterly after inspecting him.
More than half of the man's bones were broken. In particular, his hands, chest, and abdomen were shattered by the power of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms. When lifted slightly, the man was like a mollusk, where he lay on the ground without any support.
When Ou Yangming reached out to check, he found that the man's breathing had been cut off. If he could survive such a serious injury, he would not be human.
After searching the man's body for a while, Ou Yangming found some silver taels and books. Among them, the oilcloth bag that he missed the most naturally fell into his hands.
In addition, there seemed to be a book, but at this moment, Ou Yangming did not have time to look at it. He stuffed all these things into his arms and hurriedly placed the corpse in the woodshed. After covering it with a layer of firewood, he turned around and left.
At night, there was basically no one here. If even this place was discovered, then he would have nothing to say.
When he climbed over the wall and returned to the Cheng Residence, his heart was suddenly shocked.
Tonight, he had killed a person, and it was a stranger that he had never met.
However, there were not many ripples in his heart. Even after he had plundered the other party's secret book and returned to the Cheng Residence, he remembered that it was actually a person …
His expression instantly changed, and he remembered the pain when he killed Hu Bin. He had to admit that he had changed. Compared to the past, his mentality had undergone an earth-shattering change.
He did not know what this change meant, nor did he know what this change would bring him, but he knew that he was really different from the past.
Touching the secret book in his arms, a deep sense of helplessness emerged in his heart. Could it be that after gaining something, he had to lose something …
