Martial Research Master

205 NIGHT ATTACK-Lu Ming’s upper torso had suffered quite some injuries. The first few were mostly caused due to haphazard dodging from the continuous word swings from the two Qi Kings. The veterans were quite great at using swords, but Lu Ming was having problems getting injured. The amount of body cultivation he went through had already promoted his physical strength to another level. The Qi Kings were mostly practitioners who cultivated human laws, the lowest kind. The attack couldn’t leave any injuries.

“Adjust the flow of your Qi properly. You need to utilize your Qi to affect certain regions of your body. Use it to sync the attacks. I will help with the flow; you just need to concentrate on the regions.”

Lu Ming followed the Keeper’s plan and soon enough his body was riddled with blood.

“I need to restrict your body’s healing power to let the blood flow, although the overpowered body does slow the speed of the blood flowing. You shouldn’t get scared of losing too much blood, your body wouldn’t allow that.”

“I guess I need to come in contact with a grievous attack and the scene would-be set-in-stone.”

Lu Ming instantly backed off from either of the attackers. He utilized the moment to act out a sequence of him trying to revolve his Qi to heal his body.

“Don’t let him catch his breath.”

The two attackers moved out instantly. Both of them utilized their respective sword arts to execute a powerful move onto Lu Ming’s body. Lu Ming decided to dodge from between the attacks. Although he was successful in dodging the first one, the second one made contact, and his body was directly blasted out, with his stomach gaining an additional line of a deep cut. Blood was flowing out, and Lu Ming’s facial expression was pale.

He instantly vomited lots of blood onto the ground and his body visibly collapsed as if losing consciousness. The team leader saw the whole scene and had a satisfied look on his face. The two subordinates of his managed to execute the task perfectly. He was just about to jump out when a sudden feeling from behind changed his expression.

.....

“So, they finally decided to take action.”

...........................

The two QI Kings were about to move out when multiple figures appeared within the alley.

“I thank the two friends for their efforts. We would be taking the boy with us. I hope you will back off unless you don’t want to return alive from this shady alley.”

Another man came forward and looked at the person who had just spoken. “don’t count your eggs before they are laid. The brat is yet to fall into your hands. Why should we let you make acquisitions of him?”

The leader of the squad who ambushed Lu Ming arrived at the location. “I hope you fellows can recognize the fact that my team was the one who took care of him. Naturally, we have the right to take him with us.”

“An advance Qi general is no big deal for either of our teams. You just did what was inevitably about to happen. We don’t need to hand him over for such a petty reason.”

The atmosphere was slowly turning serious. Every single practitioner began to release their aura and multiple clashes occurred.

“I guess you wouldn’t go down without a fight. I would be happy to satisfy your demands. I just hope you don’t regret your decision.”

A three-way brawl began, while Lu Ming was lying on the floor of the alley.

..................

“Didn’t you confirmed that there were four groups following me?”

“The group from the merchant guild seems to be hiding in the dark waiting for the other three teams to tire themselves out.”

“Trying to use the same tactics as me. How could I let that happen?”

Lu Ming began to crawl on the flow towards one of the exits. The other three teams were engaged in a serious fight to have noticed this activity. He hoped that the fourth group would be tempted by his attempt and try to capture him.

...................

“He is trying to crawl away from the three groups, madam. What are your orders?”

“Let him put some distance between himself and the fight. We would move out swiftly and capture him.”

“The three groups are going to notice his actions soon. We should move out now.” The group members were getting impatient.

“Fine, let’s move out.” The girl spoke out.

.....................

“They are approaching from the north alley. You should be careful of the two figures coming from above.” The Keeper instantly notified Lu Ming,

Lu Ming simply raised his head and coughed out real loud. While vomiting another jug of blood. His face was paler than ever. This sound managed to attract the attention of the other three groups, who first saw Lu Ming’s figures crawling through the bloodied floor towards the exit, as well as the figures approaching him from above.

“Another group of snakes dared to snatch my prey.” The group leader who was a peak initial QI King instantly waved his sword to send a swift attack towards the two people approaching Lu Ming’s figure. They were caught off guard and would have been slain if not for another person intervening mid-way and canceling the sword aura.

“You are quite ruthless to attack two of your juniors.” The person who fended the sword attack spoke out.

“So says the guy who just tried to sneakily snatch my prey right under my nose.”

The four groups were facing each other. The tension in the atmosphere seems to have risen up by a notch. Four groups of people with the same objective were confined to the space of this alley. Their movement was limited and sooner or later they would have to confront the enemy on the other side.

The leader of one of the groups pointed at the other. “Let’s team up for now and take care of the other two. We can then decide on how to proceed with the situation.” The newly arrived team agreed and a two-way fight soon began.

The results were quite obvious. The team which pursued Lu Ming and the newly arrived group managed to kill most of the enemies.

“I guess we managed to take care of the situation. There is hope for you two to return alive if you give up”

.......................

It was at the exact same moment when the person who was lying on the flow suddenly stood up. He stretched his arms and leg out. The four leaders were surprised by this event and started at Lu Ming with caution.

“I guess all the rats are assembled. We can start with the final act.” He turned towards the leader of the group who ambushed him.

“As for your statement earlier, none of you is leaving this place alive.”
