Chapter 1858: Chapter 680: You Come Out, I Go In_2

“The gains for both were slightly lesser.

“However, if you consume it, indeed, I will be killed by you.

“But then, all the experts from the Imperial Dao will be buried with me.

“Weighing the pros and cons, the Guard can make a decision with one word.”

Lu Ming’s face wavered between dark and light.

Finally, with a sudden smile:

“Everyone below Dongmen Yong in the Jinglong Association is nothing but a charlatan.

“You seem to have grasped the essence of it.

“You want to gamble with me, so how about I gamble with you?

“In the Imperial Dao, is there anyone afraid of living or dying?”

As these words landed, there was already a Bilu Pill in his palm, and he opened his mouth, about to swallow it.

But just at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from afar.

With this sound, the rain curtain trembled, the fine raindrops scattering in all directions, making the rain seem to intensify.

Ren Piaoling’s expression changed:

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Three words suddenly reached his ears as if spoken right behind him.

Ren Piaoling, having traveled the Jianghu for many years, knew it was unwise to turn around rashly at such a time. Enduring the prickling of his scalp, he gritted his teeth and said:

“Your Excellency has high martial skills, are you afraid to show yourself?”

“Are you blind?”

The voice suddenly came from the front again; Ren Piaoling looked down and saw a man already in the scene.

This person appeared rather rough.

It was unknown when he had appeared beside Lu Ming.

Smacking his lips, he looked up at the rain, muttering:

“What lousy weather… This is the downside of Xizhou, it rains for no reason.

“The moisture in Nanhai is abundant, but I didn’t expect it to be even more humid here…”

Shaking his head, he pulled a copper tobacco pipe from his coat and said to Lu Ming:

“The Thousand Insect Thousand Corpse Pill isn’t so easy to eat, and if you’re going to eat it, someone needs to watch over you.

“Eating it now would mean wasting manpower to kill you.

“It’s a huge loss, inside out.

“You reckless child, you don’t know how to account for the expenses. You should save for Lord Jiang.”

“Lord Jiang!”

Upon seeing the man before him, Lu Ming immediately knelt on one knee, his expression somewhat excited.

“Jiang Lan!?”

Ren Piaoling, on the other hand, stared at this person, his face turning even darker:

“So it’s you?

“We’ve been hunting you for months; indeed, your escaping skills are top-notch.”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Lan pressed his finger on the bowl of the pipe, exhaling with Inner Strength; sparks faintly appeared. He covered the rain with one hand, took a deep puff of smoke, then exhaled a long cloud, smiling as he said:

“The first lesson in traveling the Jianghu is learning how to escape.

“My skill in this is naturally top-tier, one of the best in the entire Imperial Dao.

“I don’t know, how is your escape ability?”

“…I have never learned to escape.”

“That’s a pity.”

Jiang Lan sighed:

“You’ll soon need to run; trying to learn now might be too late…”

As he said this, the previously silent human shame suddenly moved.

Clank, clank, clank.

Without any hesitation or the slow leisure from before.

As soon as he moved, he directly revealed the chains hidden in his sleeve.

Aiming to tear Jiang Lan apart on the spot.

Jiang Lan glanced at them, suddenly reaching out to seize, his single hand a blur, rapidly overlapping. In mere moments, these intersecting hook chains were gathered into a metal ball, which he held in the palm, shouting lightly:

“Rise!!”

With a step, a turn of the figure, and a forceful upward movement of his arm, he directly lifted these human shames.

Human shame after human shame was pulled off the ground, swinging half a circle in midair, then Jiang Lan shouted again:

“Go!”

His palm halted momentarily, and with the subsequent whooshing sounds, all these human shames were thrown into the main hall.

Smashing the main hall into fragments.

Ning Xiyin, above, dodged repeatedly, narrowly avoiding collateral damage.

He watched Jiang Lan’s maneuvers, his heart startled.

Who is this again?

Why do these masters keep appearing one after another?

Yet it’s said, these past names were unheard of.

Where have they all been hiding?

And Jiang Lan’s display of Divine Skill also changed Ren Piaoling’s expression.

Months ago, rumors of an expert from the Imperial Dao appeared suddenly in Xizhou.

Xizhou, considered Jinglong Association’s backyard, couldn’t tolerate Imperial Dao people causing mayhem inside their territory.

They immediately began investigating, eventually finding out that it was Jiang Lan who had come.

Jiang Lan, a well-known figure in the Imperial Dao.

Since he was visiting Xizhou, Jinglong Association had to extend their hospitality, otherwise, it would be discourteous.

But the ensuing disturbance lasted several months.

At that time, Jiang Lan’s martial skills were nowhere near as formidable as they are today.

Did this old guy have another encounter in these months?

With this thought, Ren Piaoling gazed at the night sky.

It was already past midnight.

The ones who should have arrived, why haven’t they come yet?

Instead, the ones who shouldn’t, keep coming.

Thinking this, Ren Piaoling was about to speak, only to lift his head and find Jiang Lan somehow already before him.

With a light smile:

“Seeing your calculating look, it’s clear you have bad intentions. Yet in this situation, you still have the mind to plot wildly, surely… there’s another plan. Indeed, there’s no time to waste; I should capture you and interrogate you with severity.”

At these words, the large copper pipe in his hand spun and tapped precisely at Ren Piaoling’s vital point.

Ren Piaoling evaded while reaching to grab, his moves sharp and brisk.
