Chapter 297 - 296: Just in Time
Watching Pei Wu’s face as pale as gold paper, Ding Yuejun trembled as she reached out to check his breath.
She tried to calm herself down and finally sensed a faint breath, tears instantly streaming down her face. She then looked at the few people in front of her and said, "If you want to capture me, just do it. Leave him alone; he’s still a child."
"You should have come with us earlier."
The leading man in black said and then had someone take Ding Yuejun away.
However, the elder was gazing at the sky, lost in thought for a moment, and then looked at Pei Wu with an inquisitive gaze. But unexpectedly, the oblivious Pei Wu struggled to his feet again.
"Aunt Ding... don’t worry, the Sect Leader and the others will be here soon. I... I won’t let them take you." Fortunately, he knew he was no match for the people before him, and when they attacked, he immediately sent out a signal.
Seeing Pei Wu in such a state, Ding Yuejun cried out, "Xiao Wu, don’t fight them anymore. If you keep fighting, you’ll lose your life."
"Even... even if I die, I... I won’t let them succeed."
Watching Pei Wu standing in front of her, Ding Yuejun felt hatred for the first time. Even if she was naive, she knew someone was trying to harm her. She really wanted to know who it was and return the favor, making them taste the regret.
"Stop wasting time with them. Just kill the man and then kill the woman too."
The leading man in black, slightly impatient, said this and directly waved his hand.
"Wait..."
The elder intervened, "Don’t kill them yet."
The man in black frowned and said, "Why?"
"If I’m not mistaken, the fireworks just now seem to be... from the Yin sect."
"What..."
Upon hearing this, the leading man in black was slightly startled.
"Yes, I couldn’t have mistaken it."
The elder’s expression became somewhat heavy, and he finally said solemnly, "First, take these two away."
Although the man in black was not very agreeable, he was somewhat wary of the Yin sect, so he eventually agreed with the elder’s words.
Ding Yuejun supported Pei Wu with one hand while slowly reaching into her pocket with the other, her expression tense as she watched the black-clad men gradually approaching them. As they drew near, she decisively took out a small spray bottle and sprayed it in front of her.
"Ah..."
The people didn’t expect Ding Yuejun’s move, and in a moment of surprise, they were caught off guard by the spray. Although one of them reacted quickly and dodged slightly, he still met the same fate of collapsing to the ground when touched by the liquid.
Pei Wu gazed at Ding Yuejun in slight astonishment and then relaxed a bit.
The leading man in black couldn’t help but sneer, "So, you had such a trump card. I underestimated you." He said as he stepped forward, reaching towards Ding Yuejun with lightning speed.
Even though Pei Wu was in unbearable pain and almost incapable of moving, he resolutely stood in front of Ding Yuejun.
"Bang..."
The man in black effortlessly knocked Pei Wu unconscious to the ground again.
"You... you stay back."
Ding Yuejun clutched the small spray bottle tightly. But without the element of surprise, even if she tried to use the potion her daughter gave her again, she couldn’t spray the man in front of her, and this made her a bit desperate; it seemed she and Xiao Wu wouldn’t escape today’s calamity.
"Snap..."
The bottle hit the ground, making a piercing noise as Ding Yuejun was directly seized by the man in black.
"Alright, take this woman first, lest the people from the Yin sect come knocking. As for our men, I’ll handle it." He had checked earlier and found the potion quite potent, leaving those affected completely incapacitated. He would have to get someone to come and transport them away.
"Okay, Elder Qi."
But before the two could take further action, the man in black suddenly felt a numbness in his wrists, causing him to release his grip uncontrollably. Just then, a gust of wind came over, and when he realized it, Ding Yuejun had vanished from his hands.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Yiyi looked at her mother with a face full of worry, feeling a surge of fear in her heart. What if she hadn’t arrived in time? Would she never see her mother again?
Ding Yuejun was in a sorry state, but seeing her daughter coming, her eyes were full of surprise. However, she quickly became flustered again, "Yiyi, don’t worry about Mom. Hurry up and leave, leave this place at once." Although she knew her daughter had some martial arts skills, even Xiao Wu couldn’t contend with the people before them, and her daughter’s arrival was akin to sending a lamb into the tiger’s mouth.
Yiyi didn’t say anything. Instead, she shielded her mother behind her and then glanced at the people on the ground, saying softly, "Mom, you did well. Leave the rest to me."
"Little girl, it’s dangerous here. You should listen to your mother and leave quickly."
Elder Qi said with a smile, but his expression was somewhat tense. When this little girl had come over just now, he hadn’t noticed at all, so naturally, he wouldn’t let his guard down.
At this moment, the man in black snapped out of it, shook his hands, and said with a stern voice, "You’re quite cunning, little girl, daring to use a trick. But since you’re here, stay."
His patience was entirely gone, determined to capture everyone before him.
Originally thinking it was a simple task, he hadn’t expected constant changes. If they didn’t capture them soon, and the people from the Yin sect arrived, this mission might fail. With this in mind, he used all his strength, intending to capture them at the quickest speed; if that failed, to eliminate them on the spot.
When Yiyi arrived, she noticed Pei Wu’s miserable condition and knew the people before her were formidable, so she also exerted all her strength. But she was somewhat distracted, as there was an elder standing by, and the elder didn’t seem simple either.
"Bang..."
Yiyi blocked the side kick from the man in black and landed a palm on his chest.
But the man in black wasn’t easy to deal with; he could dodge under Yiyi’s fierce offense, evidently having reached a certain level in Kung Fu.
"Watch out, Lao Liu. This little girl isn’t simple. She might be from the Yin sect."
This made Lao Liu raise his vigilance to the utmost.
Yiyi knew she must concentrate fully, or she might not be a match for the person before her. But Elder Qi still stood nearby, making her feel uneasy.
"Hahaha... Looks like today I’ll have to make an exception. Little girl, watch out, here I come."
Elder Qi, seeing Yiyi still not captured, understood he couldn’t drag it out any longer. So he dropped the pretense and directly advanced towards Yiyi.
Being attacked from both sides, Yiyi gradually felt the pressure.
