C33 (1/2)
The four of them moved in the same way, one hand holding the saber hilt while the other bent over. Their feet rapidly alternated as they dashed forward without making any sound.
Ninjutsu? Just as the four girls approached Yang Tian, the words' Ninjutsu 'flashed through his mind. However, if he looked closely, it didn't seem like it. It was more like the words used in the ancient martial arts of the night.
In the blink of an eye, the four girls arrived in front of Yang Tian. Among the four girls, the second woman in red suddenly leaped up and landed on the head of the first woman in white.
The first woman in white suddenly punched out and hit the bottom of her head right on top of her companion's foot. The woman in red in the air suddenly accelerated and in the blink of an eye, crossed over ten meters and arrived above Yang Tian's head.
He did not have a weapon in his hand, and his only hope lay in the long sword in the hands of the white-clothed woman who was unwilling to let him go. Yang Tian slightly tilted his body and reached out with his backhand to grab hold of the white-clothed woman's wrist.
”Clang!” With a crisp sound, the woman in red snorted. Her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. She staggered two steps to stabilize herself. She didn't expect Yang Tian to have such strength.
When the two swords collided, Yang Tian had already released his hand. The white-clothed woman was also sent flying by the powerful force. After landing on the ground, she took two steps back.
Even though Yang Tian had repelled the two girls, the moment he regained his breath, the two girls from the back had already rushed in front of him. Two swords were drawn from their sheaths at the same time, silently trapping Yang Tian in the shadows of their sabers.
Yang Tian didn't know how he did all this. He only knew that his body seemed to have started moving consciously as a bunch of unfamiliar martial arts moves flashed through his mind. Looking at the slow movements of these girls, he angrily shouted and leaped up with the help of the alley wall.
The swords in the two girls' hands immediately swept past Yang Tian's feet. At this moment, Yang Tian's feet kicked heavily towards the two girls' heads.
Ah …” ”Ahh!” The two girls were kicked and sent flying. They slammed heavily into the walls of the alleyway.
”Fourth Sister …” ”Take the jade pendant away, I'll hold him off …” The green robed girl took out a jade pendant from her waist and threw it towards the girl who was near the entrance of the alleyway. She brandished her long sword and continued to charge towards Yang Tian.
However, just as the green-clothed woman tossed the jade pendant into the air, a black figure suddenly appeared in the air. His large hand was like a phantom as it grabbed the jade pendant that was still dancing in the air.
”It's the Minister of the Left …” ”Quickly retreat …” When the black shadow landed on the ground, the four girls simultaneously shouted out a name that Yang Tian felt was strange. Lord Left Minister, who were these people exactly?
Just as Yang Tian was puzzled, the four women disappeared in a flash. Yang Tian had also clearly seen the figure of the middle-aged man who had taken the jade pendant for him, a man of 45 to 46 years of age, tall and imposing, with a square face and a pair of eyes brimming with vigor under his dark eyebrows. He wore a set of black training clothes, and with a single glance he knew that he was definitely a martial artist, especially with his stature.
”Your jade pendant?” The middle-aged man walked in front of Yang Tian and faintly smiled. He glanced at Yang Tian and revealed a disdainful expression as he placed the jade pendant in front of Yang Tian.
”Right, right...” It's my jade pendant, thank you for helping me! ” Yang Tian hurriedly took over the jade pendant from the middle-aged man. After carefully inspecting the jade pendant without any damage, he very politely thanked the middle-aged man and said, ”Uncle, thank you very much for what you did just now. If I lost this jade pendant …” ”It would be better to just kill me …”
”Oh? Why do you care so much about this jade pendant? Is it important to you? ” The middle-aged man frowned and asked in a low voice.
”Mm …” Yang Tian nodded as his expression darkened. He said in a deep voice, ”This is the only keepsake that my parents have left for me …” ”So …”
”Little brother, you better put away the 'important' things in the future. Didn't you say this? Hehe, do you understand? ”Goodbye …” With that, the middle-aged man lightly patted Yang Tian's shoulder, then turned around and left the alleyway.
The middle-aged man's words were repeated over and over in Yang Tian's mind. Although he didn't know what this meant, Yang Tian knew that this jade pendant couldn't be seen by others. If he was lucky today, he might not be so lucky next time.
On the way back to the Splendid Tower, Yang Tian carefully thought back to what happened just now. What exactly happened here?
Those four girls called him Young Master, did they know of his background? Where did these people come from? And the 'Dragon Gate martial arts' that the green robed lady spoke of, could this be the martial arts in his head?
And why would this middle-aged man help him? No matter how he thought about it, Yang Tian just couldn't understand it. It was just that he knew that this piece of jade he was carrying was related to his background. Thinking of this, Yang Tian subconsciously tightened his grip on the jade in his hand …
”Yang Tian, you're late …” Just as Yang Tian came out from the bathroom to clean up the wounds he had gotten from chasing the green-clothed girl, a familiar voice sounded out from behind him.
”Hey hey hey, Xin'er …” There are so many people in the company, why do you have to make life difficult for me? ” Yang Tian stopped in his tracks, turned around and said to Yu Xin with a faint smile.
