Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Zhu Wenjing Injured (4 Updates)
“What, don’t believe it when I call you a small fry?”
Ye Haochuan pulled the stunned Zhu Wenjing behind him and looked at Young Master Ding with disdain.
This guy was already bothering him at the elevator door. If he hadn’t wanted to avoid a scene, he would have acted then. And afterwards, Zhu Wenjing kept interrupting, preventing him from saying anything to this guy.
“Ding Er! Kill him! I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens!”
Young Master Ding, both angry and embarrassed, pointed a finger at Ye Haochuan and shouted furiously.
Whoosh~
The people around quickly stepped back upon hearing these words. Getting involved in such an internal conflict could lead to huge trouble.
Swoosh~
With a soft sound, Ding Er, who was at Core Formation Late Stage, drew out a strange weapon and aimed it at Ye Haochuan’s neck, slashing fiercely, as if he intended to kill with one strike.
Trivial tricks!
Ye Haochuan, who had killed Nascent Soul Stage experts, didn’t regard this Core Formation Late Stage guy seriously. He stood there unperturbed, waiting for Ding Er to charge at him.
He was even considering whether to block him with the Tortoise Pattern Shield or just kick him down. As for killing him, Ye Haochuan hadn’t thought of that.
Because there were just too many people here; Ye Haochuan didn’t want to bring trouble on himself and attract the Xuanmen’s Inspection Group. If they found out he was connected to the Bai Family business, he’d be doomed.
“You dare!”
However, Ye Haochuan’s calm demeanor appeared to Zhu Wenjing and the crowd as if he was scared stiff. So without thinking, Zhu Wenjing rushed out.
Buzz~
Caught off guard, Zhu Wenjing didn’t have time to act. She gritted her teeth and suddenly churned out her Spiritual Energy, spreading like waves, forming a light shield around her.
“Come back!”
Ye Haochuan was shocked and quickly reached out to grab Zhu Wenjing, but she dashed forward too fast for him to catch her.
“Oh!”
The crowd also cried out in surprise, with many closing their eyes unwilling to watch. Even Young Master Ding was shocked; he hadn’t intended to harm Zhu Wenjing.
Ding~
Zhu Wenjing, at Core Formation Early Stage, was sent flying by Ding Er, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. The bright blood beads starkly contrasted against her fair skin.
Boom~
The next second, Ye Haochuan’s foot fiercely kicked Ding Er’s chest, sending him flying back faster than he had come.
“Who told you to go up! Eat this!”
Ye Haochuan turned and caught the airborne Zhu Wenjing, letting her lean slightly in his embrace. He frowned while angrily whispering and fed a Revival Pill into Zhu Wenjing’s mouth.
“I…”
Seeing Ding Er kicked away by Ye Haochuan, hearing Ye Haochuan’s angry growl, Zhu Wenjing felt like a child who did something wrong, unsure how to respond. Even she didn’t know why she reacted so suddenly. And despite her severe injuries, she did not regret it at all.
At this moment, Zhu Wenjing felt as if intoxicated, listening to Ye Haochuan’s heartbeat, breathing in his scent, finding a sense of warmth.
Hearing his voice, filled with care and anger, and the pill fed into her mouth, her heart beat erratically.
She didn’t know what was happening to her, but she felt good, comfortable, like the feeling of resting in her mother’s arms when she was young.
“Get up and quickly adjust your breath!”
Ye Haochuan didn’t think too much about it. After feeding Zhu Wenjing the Revival Pill, he checked her condition. Seeing she was only slightly chaotic in her energy but otherwise fine, he helped her up.
“Oh!”
Unwillingly, Zhu Wenjing straightened up from Ye Haochuan.
“Ye Haochuan, you coward, hiding behind a woman to ambush. I… I’ll kill you!”
Young Master Ding didn’t look at Ding Er. He stared fixedly at Zhu Wenjing, lying in Ye Haochuan’s arms and looking infatuated, anger raging in his heart.
So, before Ye Haochuan could respond, he leaped high into the air, flipped his hand, and a sword glowing white light slashed toward Ye Haochuan’s forehead.
“Xuanwu Force Vein, open!”
“Eight Extremes Palm!”
Ye Haochuan elegantly stepped forward, dodged the sword, and pressed his palm onto Young Master Ding’s chest.
Plop~
In the shocked gazes of the crowd, Young Master Ding fell into the swimming pool, splashing water everywhere.
Meanwhile, Ye Haochuan, using the Great Yan Step, walked upon the ripples of the water droplets all around, returning to Zhu Wenjing’s side.
“So handsome!”
Ye Haochuan’s performance made the women present exclaim in admiration. Many had eyes full of affection, wishing they could rush to pursue him. Some even flirted covertly, hoping for a fling with Ye Haochuan.
“Wow! Ye Haochuan, you’re amazing!”
Seeing Ye Haochuan put the annoying guy into the pool, Zhu Wenjing could not contain her excitement and threw herself into his arms.
Boom~
The water from the pool was suddenly sent soaring into the sky, and then, under gravity, it turned into a heavy rain pouring down.
“Great Yan Step!”
Ye Haochuan shouted low, holding Zhu Wenjing, stepping on the ripples, leapt above the countless water droplets.
“Wow, so fun!”
Zhu Wenjing laughed gleefully while watching the people below scrambling to avoid the water droplets. She still had a childlike heart, knowing nothing about being reserved.
“Ah…”
A howl like a wounded beast rose from the pool. Zhu Wenjing turned to see that it was Young Master Ding whom she disliked.
Young Master Ding was completely soaked, even his eyes were blood-red. He was utterly disgraced today, not only being rejected but also watching someone else embrace the girl he liked right in front of him.
Moreover, this person was an outsider, without strength or influence. That aside, this person even knocked him into the pool.
This turned him, who always paid attention to his image, into a drowned rat, while that person enjoyed himself with the girl he loved in mid-air. How could he not be furious?
“Die!”
Young Master Ding was utterly furious. He formed a Seal and released his best move, a thick sword light shooting from his hand, racing toward Ye Haochuan.
The power of this strike was too terrifying; even the falling water droplets got pulled back, flying upward towards Ye Haochuan.
“Ah! Run!”
Zhu Wenjing, in Ye Haochuan’s arms, shrieked in fright at the sight of this move, hurriedly trying to escape with Ye Haochuan. All because she had seen this move before and knew its formidable power.
She still remembered encountering a Core Formation Peak Demon Beast on a mountain outside Xuantian City. At the time, Young Master Ding used this move to instantly cleave the beast in half.
And now, this move was coming at her.
