Chapter 1032: Chapter 1031: Escape

Yet, Yanran seemed to possess an innate mastery of these two weapons, without anyone ever guiding her. Even Jiang Cheng, during her practice, only corrected some insignificant mistakes. If not for his obsessive-compulsive tendencies, those errors could be easily overlooked.

Had Yanran not shown any other signs, Jiang Cheng might have thought that the two gods of her tribe had reincarnated in her.

Now, his female disciple once again displayed her miraculous craftsmanship, saving her teammate’s life before him. Rather than feeling displeased, he was deeply impressed.

Seizing the moment when Jiang Cheng’s thoughts wandered, the master launched another attack on this alien man in front of him.

It seemed that the man’s character was quite flawed; when facing an opponent, his first thought was always to attack treacherously.

What he didn’t expect was that the man neither resisted nor dodged, but instead turned his head to give him a cold look.

If not for the environment being inappropriate for laughter, he would have laughed out loud.

In such a moment, would a glance really be enough to stop a person?

Though he thought this in his mind, the master’s actions never stopped; his hand viciously stabbed toward Jiang Cheng’s heart.

Suddenly, to his horror, he found his movements seemed frozen. Though the tip of his blade was infinitely close to his opponent’s heart, he couldn’t close the small gap between them.

He watched in disbelief as his opponent easily took the knife from his hand and said, ”I hate sneaky people the most. As a martial artist, why don’t you have the courage to face your opponent directly?

Then he watched as his opponent slowly inserted the knife into his own chest.

He could even feel the chill brought by the dagger.

Jiang Cheng turned his head, looking at another master approaching Yanran. The attacker had already collapsed at his feet, a dagger protruding from his chest, blood gushing from the ruptured wound.

After he stopped breathing, his eyes remained wide open, seemingly unable to believe what they had witnessed.

Yanran and Ba Lv, unable to suppress their resentment, decided to head to a grand hotel where a grand banquet was being held to celebrate someone’s promotion.

Of course, the two of them were not there to congratulate anyone. They found the ethos on Delmar Planet disgusting, with the poor citizens uncared for, and even the leader of Delmar Planet’s words sounding like nonsense! What could be expected of others?

So they infiltrated the hotel, intending to capture the two main culprits and expose their disgraceful acts to the public through the media, showing the citizens who they had truly voted for.

Initially, everything went smoothly, but as two masters unexpectedly attacked them, Yanran and Ba Lv found themselves struggling to fend off the attacks while also trying to apprehend their fleeing targets.

Fortunately, in the critical moment, their teacher Jiang Cheng appeared just in time. He instructed Ba Lvluo to continue capturing their targets, while he would handle the master attacking them.

Sure enough, against Jiang Cheng’s formidable superpower, the master stood no chance. In just one encounter, Jiang Cheng easily dispatched him with ”Time Stasis.”

The man remained wide-eyed even upon his last breath, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Serves him right! As someone who enjoys sneak attacks, and his opponent precisely hating such tactics, he believed that anyone who frequently relied on sneak attacks had lost the dignity a martial artist ought to have. If such a person fell into his hands, their fate would only be—death!

After dealing with the sneaky master, Jiang Cheng turned his gaze to another master, who was currently attacking Yanran.

Every skilled master has the ability to see in all directions and listen from all around. Although this master didn’t see how his companion died, the silence that fell after their encounter suggested his companion’s grim fate.

So, even while fighting Yanran, his mind was restless, anxiously guarding against a sudden attack from the alien man.

This led to his skills, which were already only marginally superior to Yanran’s, being hindered by Jiang Cheng’s presence. His nervousness made him defensive and unable to fully unleash his abilities, causing him to be drenched in sweat under Yanran’s relentless assault, having only defensive power with no chance to counterattack.

Unlike him, Yanran wasn’t overthinking. Seeing the master unable to freely exert himself, her attacks became fiercer.

Her figure circled around him, steel claws continuously targeting his vital points.

Finally, the master could no longer withstand Yanran’s attacks. After feinting a few times, he threw the dagger in his hand at Yanran, then swiftly retreated, breaking free from Yanran’s attack range. He dashed toward a low wall, vaulting over it in the blink of an eye, and was about to disappear.

Jiang Cheng stood motionless on the side, having absolute confidence in his disciple.

Sure enough, with a ”thwack,” an arrow shot from behind, piercing the man’s neck, the sharp arrowhead protruding through.

The fleeing man waved his arms a few times, then fell forward.

Jiang Cheng gave Yanran a thumbs-up, and Yanran playfully made a face at him before going to assist Ba Lv.

Without those two masters’ interference, ordinary people were no match for her. After knocking down several bodyguards coming to help, Ba Lv blocked the paths of the two chief targets.

”Still want to run!” Ba Lv roared angrily.

The chief envoy and Shorty knew that martial artists coming uninvited weren’t here with good intentions. If they were to fall into the hands of these three aliens again this time, the outcome would not be favorable, as they were aware of their own deeds.

The two fled like dogs without homes, running anxiously away until Ba Lv’s two short knives embedded into their calf muscles, causing both to collapse, letting out cries of agony, and clutching their injured calves as they rolled on the ground.

Their sorry state made it seem as if their legs were broken.

Jiang Cheng, Yanran, and Ba Lv looked down at the two men rolling on the ground. They couldn’t believe that the ones who usually behaved so arrogantly were now crying like shrews, rolling on the ground. They thought if this scene were filmed and shown to the public, they would surely clap and cheer.

If it weren’t for Yanran stopping loudly, there’s no telling when these two would halt their drama. ”Stand up! Both of you, stand up!”

Yanran’s tone carried impatience, even a touch of menace, making the rolling men feel that if they didn’t obey the alien, their lives would be in danger. The two obeyed and got up reluctantly. Despite the intense pain in their calf muscles, compared to the threat of death, such minor injuries were insignificant.
