Chapter 20 - 20: 20 Jumping Back and Forth on the Edge of Death
On the seventh-floor rooftop, Lu Lian respectfully stood behind Qian Dabao.
“Mr. Qian, should we investigate this man’s background in detail?”
Qian Dabao scoffed, “Have you turned from a coward to a daredevil? Would you dare to investigate such a man?”
“He clearly does not want to reveal his identity since he wears a mask. His strength is much stronger than mine. If you are not afraid of death, feel free to go.”
Lu Lian behind him was immediately silenced and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to utter a word.
Qian Dabao squinted at the night sky for a while, then waved his hand.
“Go and tell the headquarters about the news here, and prepare for the impending big event.”
Lu Lian took his order and left with a bow.
Walking in Tianyuan City, Jiang Xiaobai had already taken off his disguise.
Having managed to escape from the dreadful place known as Long Valley, it would be a pity if Jiang Xiaobai did not take this opportunity to enjoy himself.
In no time, he was holding a variety of delicious food, his mouth smearing with oil and enjoying himself immensely.
While he was still exploring the cuisine in Tianyuan City, within a partition at a tavern in the city center.
Ao Yan was sitting opposite a man with a frivolous smile on his face, her demeanor cold.
“Your Highness, have you considered it?”
“Same as before, go back and tell your master I will not agree.”
The frivolous man’s smile slowly solidified and finally disappeared.
“Ao Yan, giving you respect by addressing you as ‘Princess’ but without respect, you are nothing. Do you really think the Dragon Clan is so powerful?”
The frivolous man sneered, “If you don’t kill that mortal, I will do it personally.”
“Then you will not leave Tianyuan City.”
“Do you think I’m scared?”
“You can try.”
Ao Yan’s expression was icy cold. She dared to guarantee that if you dare to try, you will perish.
The reason she has been so irritable lately is due to the numerous contacts and presumptuous warnings from the Gu Family.
The Gu Family has already lost patience and wants to vent their anger. Their target, naturally, is Jiang Xiaobai.
But Ao Yan will not let the Gu Family have their way.
Originally, she forcibly brought Jiang Xiaobai here just to annoy the Gu Family, and the situation in Long Valley has been stabilized by her during this period.
Moreover, regarding Jiang Xiaobai, she felt a different sentiment in her heart.
In half a month, even if the young master of the Gu Family arrives, Long Valley can delay some time. In Ao Yan’s view, as long as it can be delayed for three years, she can suppress the Gu Family with her own power!
Even though the Dragon Clan is getting weaker generation by generation, Ao
Yan still has her pride. The person across her is just a servant of the Gu Family, daring to threaten her this way.
The Gu Family keeps growing stronger, but that doesn’t mean Long Valley has to fear them.
The only pity is that some old guys in Long Valley are starting to become restless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to meet with this man from the Gu Family today!
“You would go against the Gu Family for a mere mortal?”
“You and I were mortal enemies to begin with.”
Ao Yan snorted coldly and stood up, “If you’re here just to say these words, I’m sorry, I don’t have the time.”
Ao Yan then left directly.
Inside the private room, the frivolous man’s expression gradually became ferocious. Clenching his fists, a terrifying aura vaguely began to emanate from him.
“You ignorant creature. It is your honor that the young master takes an interest in you!”
“I hope you can still say this when the young master arrives!”
He snorted coldly, gritting his teeth and standing up.
At the moment, there was a surge of anger in his heart that could not be quelled. He wished he could flatten half of Tianyuan City with a single slap.
“Damn, I can’t believe you, Ao Yan, dared to be so arrogant. Tonight, I will send someone to Long Valley to kill that kid!”
The frivolous man snorted in his heart and stormed out of the tavern.
Just as he left the tavern, he suddenly saw a figure devouring food with oil dripping from his mouth. Upon closer inspection, the frivolous man’s face suddenly went cold.
Jiang Xiaobai, who was eating skewers, suddenly froze. He felt a chill creep up his back, as if a ferocious beast was standing behind him.
A thought instantly materialized in his mind.
Run!
The aura appearing behind him was powerful, indicating a person in the late stage of Yuan Infant.
Although Jiang Xiaobai was at the mid -Yuan Infant stage in power, his combat methods were far too limited, and he didn’t even have a single treasure.
Though he had Starsword of Nine Heavens to assist him, he had never fought like this before!
Moreover, before knowing the true capabilities and identity of the opponent,
Jiang Xiaobai would not be reckless.
Hadn’t those villains in the novels he read in his previous life all died due to their recklessness?
Anyway, the priority should always be to escape first, then strike when the opportunity arises!
He didn’t think he could execute an out-of-level counter-kill in his current state, so the moment he felt something off, Jiang Xiaobai started to flee at a full pace.
In his view, this wasn’t humiliating. On the contrary, it would be truly stupid to go head to head with the enemy when lacking the power. Behind him, a frivolous man was grinning manically.
“Run, let’s see where you can go,” he sneered.
In his eyes, a mere mortal like Jiang Xiaobai could absolutely not escape his grasp.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai was running away, a system choice suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Congratulations, host, for triggering a choice!”
“Option one: Dodge pursuers for one minute, reward is 24-hour Breath Hiding, Earth Fiend 72 Changes, Divine Escape Skill!”
“Option two: Turn around and fight, reward is 10 minutes of Virtuous Body (if you kill the opponent, the reward will increase to a full strand of Virtue).”
“Option three: Sit down and negotiate, reward is a random pre-existing spirit treasure! ”
Jiang Xiaobai was not a dunce and immediately chose the first option.
The one pursuing him had an unknown identity, and even if he was to fight back immediately and obtain the Virtuous Body, becoming invincible, what use would it be?
He didn’t even know who his enemy was, and it was only a body-protection skill. He couldn’t kill the enemy, and he might be finished after ten minutes.
The first option was obviously the best one for now.
Given the large crowd and the many capable individuals in Tianyuan City, the enemy couldn’t act recklessly and could only chase him on foot.
Fortunately, the crowd and many corners bought Jiang Xiaobai a good deal of time.
Finally, a minute was up!
Jiang Xiaobai’s figure and breath suddenly vanished on the spot.
The frivolous man’s face suddenly turned from smiling to shocked. How could a mere mortal escape his detection?
He stood where Jiang Xiaobai’s breath had disappeared, narrowing his eyes as he surveyed his surroundings.
Meanwhile, not far away in the shadows, Jiang Xiaobai was hiding and watching him.
He was an unknown man in the late Yuan Infant stage with unknown intentions for stalking him. It was indeed troublesome.
However, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t worried at the moment.
The system’s offerings were always top-notch, and the opponent would certainly not be able to detect the Breath Hiding ability granted by the system.
The fool stood in place for a long time, confused about how he had lost Jiang Xiaobai.
Only one blink before, he could feel his presence!
Eventually, he concluded that he couldn’t find Jiang Xiaobai, and was furious inside.
“Damn it, damn it!”
First, he was humiliated by Ao Yan, then he was made a fool by a mere mortal, Jiang Xiaobai. The frivolous man felt utterly humiliated.
He was the negotiator dispatched by the Gu Family, representing them!
Luckily, this incident wasn’t known to a second person, otherwise, the Gu
Family’s face would be completely lost, and he might not be able to go back.
He might as well find a cool place to lie down and die a little more peacefully.
Shaking with fury, the frivolous man twisted his face into a grotesque expression, wanting to kill!
Not long after he turned and walked away, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly emerged from the shadows and followed him.
Ignoring attacks was never Jiang Xiaobai’s style.
He had to figure out who was trying to mess with him so he could pay them back with a big surprise.
The frivolous man who had not gone far suddenly stopped.
The breath of the mortal was present again!
The frivolous man didn’t hesitate and instantly teleported towards Jiang Xiaobai’s direction.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai was also at the mid-yuan Infant level, although he didn’t have any movement techniques, his speed was not slow either.
The moment he felt the enemy turning back, Jiang Xiaobai activated Breath Hiding again, then shifted into the shadows once more.
The frivolous man stood dumbstruck on the spot, in utter disbelief.
“Where did the person go, what the hell is going on!”
