That table was solid wood. Its weight was considerable, to say the least. Getting smashed by it would definitely hurt.
Ye Chen hastily retreated.
The table crashed into empty space and fell thunderously to the ground.
Looking at the wreckage on the floor, Ye Chen gulped.
Decisive action, ruthless and a woman of few words.
He had now witnessed this woman’s viciousness firsthand.
It seemed the intel was right. The title of Dragon Sea’s #1 Devil Woman wasn’t just hearsay.
At this moment, he could somewhat understand why Bai Jinghong would forgo such a beautiful woman and run off to find someone else.
Who could handle this?!
Jiang Yueying’s Energy Qi burst forth. Her momentum instantly skyrocketed. A knife-like whip kick shot rapidly towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen laughed easily and, acting smug, raised a hand to block it directly, attempting to neutralize her attack.
He then even feigned profound knowledge, commenting: “Miss Jiang, your technique is decent, but the power…”
Before Ye Chen could finish, he heard a sound of rushing wind by his ear.
With her left foot trapped, Jiang Yueying decisively used the leverage. Her right foot whistled through the air and slapped directly into Ye Chen’s face.
“Ah!” Ye Chen yelped.
The kick landed squarely. Ye Chen’s grip released, and he staggered sideways.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yueying lost her balance and started falling towards the floor.
Just before hitting the ground, Jiang Yueying propped herself up with her right hand, performing a neat kip-up and landing steadily back on her feet.
As Ye Chen tried to straighten up, Jiang Yueying’s elbow strike once again smashed into his face. Her moves were vicious, with no wasted words at all.
Jiang Yueying’s mentality was purely to beat him to death. How could her blows possibly be light?
Even Ye Chen found this hit hard to bear.
His head buzzed, his teeth loosened, the inside of his cheek split open. His mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.
He reflexively retreated two steps, rubbing his face.
But Jiang Yueying was astonishingly fast. Her left foot stepped forward while her right leg hooked the back of a nearby chair.
She then swung her leg up and brought it down from high above, heavily smashing it towards Ye Chen’s head.
Ye Chen was shocked and raised his arms to block.
This move would have been hard enough to take even with just a leg strike, let alone with a solid wooden chair hooked onto it.
Crash!
The instant the chair shattered, Jiang Yueying pressed forward. Her slender body spun around, and a spinning front kick slammed into Ye Chen’s chest.
Bang!
Ye Chen crashed against the wall, clutching his chest.
He never imagined this woman had such rich combat experience.
He’d been careless.
That combination of attacks had left him reeling.
However, an Earth Rank warrior wasn’t something to be trifled with.
Although injured, his condition was far from critical.
With a light shout, Ye Chen’s Energy Qi spread out, fully displaying the power of the Earth Rank Early Stage.
He looked up somewhat arrogantly, turning to Jiang Yueying.
“Miss Jiang, you’re quite impressive. But I forgot to mention, I am an Earth Rank…”
Right in the middle of his posturing, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly widened.
Because he saw Jiang Yueying, her teeth clenched, pulling a gun from behind her bodyguard’s back.
Without a second word, she raised it, aimed at him, and directly pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out. Ye Chen practically sprinted in a half-crouch, rolling and scrambling, dodging as fast as he could.
“Fuck…”
This woman was completely insane.
Didn’t she say they were sparring?
Who brings a gun to a sparring match?!
If he weren’t stronger than her, combining strikes and kicks with those gunshots—goddamn it, who could survive that?!
“Miss Jiang, don’t be rash! We’re just sparring!”
Ye Chen was close to tears.
He was relying entirely on his movement techniques, speed, and using the structures for cover.
Otherwise, with that barrage, he’d surely have been riddled with bullets.
The three bodyguards waiting outside heard the gunfire and rushed in.
Seeing Jiang Yueying’s state, they also drew their guns and started firing at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was on the verge of collapse.
“Miss Jiang, enough! Tell your bodyguards to stop! They’ve misunderstood! We’re just sparring!”
Ye Chen hid behind a load-bearing pillar, desperately clutching a solid wooden decorative column to shield himself.
“Enough!” Jiang Yueying raised a hand to signal them.
Only then did the bodyguards cease fire.
She pulled over a chair and sat down, crossing her legs.
“Mr. Ye’s strength is indeed extraordinary. My bodyguards were disrespectful. I’ll punish them thoroughly when we get back.”
Ye Chen’s face was filled with bitterness. This Jiang Yueying was truly terrifying.
He finally stepped out, but for some inexplicable reason, his right eyelid twitched madly.
And based on his knowledge of physiognomy, he felt a very uneasy premonition, as if something was about to happen.
Just then, his eyes widened in shock.
Because as he stepped out, he saw Jiang Yueying’s gun had been fitted with a fresh magazine.
“Shit!”
Ye Chen cursed inwardly and made a desperate dash for the window to escape.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yueying had anticipated his move and fired rapidly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The gunshots echoed.
In mid-escape, Ye Chen was hit in three places: his back, shoulder, and arm.
“Ugh… Ah!” Ye Chen cried out in pain.
He completely understood now. ‘Stop’ meant lowering his guard so she could shoot him.
Despite having three bullet wounds, Ye Chen still managed to burst out the window and leap down.
Relying on his powerful physique and Earth Rank Martial Artist strength, he rolled once on the ground and fled.
He was grateful the private room was only on the third floor. Otherwise, he’d be dead for sure.
Jiang Yueying looked down from the window. Seeing Ye Chen disappear into the crowd, she snorted coldly.
“Send men to search for Ye Chen with full force. Kill on sight!”
“Yes, Eldest Miss!”
The bodyguards immediately began to mobilize.
Jiang Yueying kicked aside some debris and her stunningly beautiful face instantly reverted to that of a girlish young woman.
“Bai Jinghong, you damn lecher. You dragged me into your mess. Next time I see you, I’ll bite your tongue off for sure!”
She wiped her hands and walked towards the door of the private room, saying flatly, “Clean up this mess before you leave.”
“Yes, Eldest Miss!”
The bodyguard hastily responded.
As for the escaped Ye Chen, he was currently slumped in a pile of garbage in a corner of an alley.
Wounded as he was, if Jiang Yueying’s people caught up, he’d be finished. So he could only temporarily hide here.
Shot once in the back, once in the shoulder, and once in the arm—
the wounds were almost in a line.
Even as an Earth Rank warrior, he was struggling to bear this pain now.
With a trembling left hand, he fumbled for his phone.
He had to call someone to pick him up right now, or it would be trouble.
His first call was to Wen Chunyu.
Wen Chunyu lived right next door to him. It was best to ask her for help.
If he called anyone else, word might leak.
He had to understand that undercurrents surged within the Dragon Gate. Many people weren’t exactly convinced by him, the new Dragon Lord.
He hadn’t even gotten around to subduing those people yet. Now he was injured.
If those with ulterior motives found out, they’d inevitably stir up trouble.
The phone rang and rang, but Wen Chunyu didn’t answer.
This left Ye Chen somewhat baffled.
Before, if he called, it would definitely connect within five seconds.
Left with no choice, Ye Chen could only dial Wen Tailai’s number.
Fortunately, Wen Tailai answered.
Ye Chen quickly sent his location and then quietly waited for Wen Tailai’s men.
“That crazy woman was so ruthless!”
“It seems her falling out with Bai Jinghong was just a facade. How insidious!”
“Bai Jinghong is a madman, and this Jiang Yueying is the same. Damn it, a pair of lunatics! They really are a match!”
Inexplicably, an image of Bai Jinghong and Jiang Yueying both pointing guns at him flashed through Ye Chen’s mind.
This made him shiver uncontrollably.
Injured as he was, Ye Chen could only accept this reality: the Jiang Yueying route was a dead end.
While he was waiting, he suddenly heard footsteps coming deeper into the alley.
He thought it was Wen Tailai’s people.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t. It was just someone coming to dump garbage.
The man dumping the garbage was muttering to himself: “Ah, the pressure of being a dad is immense. Can’t even afford enough diapers.”
With that, he tossed a dark, bulging bag aside and turned to leave.
Splat!
With the momentum of the toss, a white diaper flipped out and landed directly on Ye Chen’s face.
Ye Chen was instantly hit by a foul stench.
He frantically tore it off, only to feel something sticky and yellow all over his hand.
“Urgh~”
Ye Chen retched, quickly throwing it away, and then touched his face.
He nearly had a mental breakdown.
His face was covered in mush.
Damn it, sure, it was a diaper. But the diaper was full of baby shit.
Still warm!
Now it was smeared all over his face. It seemed… some had even dripped into his mouth.
