Chapter 271 - Killing Intent From an Old Friend!

“Thump Thump…” Yang Dingtian heard the sound of heartbeats on Dongfang Bingling’s chest.

At the same moment, the ice energy binding Dongfang Bingling’s body had silently been shattered.

Fortunately, the third electric shock had succeeded in bringing back Dongfang Bingling’s heartbeat.

The ecstasy nearly made Yang Dingtian cry.

But that person crossing the unfreezing water was getting closer, and Yang Dingtian didn’t have time to feel happy.

Firstly, he used his body to block and helped Dongfang Bingling to wear her clothes. Otherwise, the person would immediately see every inch of her fair skin under her neck.

He then pinched Dongfang Bingling’s nose and started to perform artificial respiration.

That’s right, Dongfang Bingling’s heartbeat had returned, but she had yet to start breathing. Without breathing, she would die really quickly.

Even though he knew the timing wasn’t right, his heart still raced when he was about to place his lips on Dongfang Bingling’s lips.

But in less than half a second, Yang Dingtian quickly inhaled from outside and blew into Dongfang Bingling’s mouth.

Once!

Twice!

He then started the chest compressions.

Immediately after, he started to breathe in again.

“Bang…” There were movements behind Yang Dingtian as a figure abruptly rushed in from the unfreezing pool.

At the same moment, Dongfang Bingling opened up her gorgeous eyes and revealed a trace of astonishment, disbelief, fury, and surging murderous intent.

Yang Dingtian didn’t hesitate and didn’t explain. He used his fastest speed to dodge.

Dongfang Bingling was lying on the ground and had raised her dainty palms to strike above her.

Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to dodge to the corner.

He wasn’t afraid of death or a coward, but resisting a Martial Supreme was truly something that he didn’t want to get involved in.

After dodging to the corner, Yang Dingtian noticed that person emerging from the unfreezing pool with a pale expression at the same moment Dongfang Bingling struck out her palm. Even though that person had the demon core, crossing the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool was still a horrifying ordeal.

The instant that person emerged from the unfreezing pool, he saw the awakened Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike. The person’s handsome face revealed an unbelievable horror as he instinctively struck out a palm to contest with Dongfang Bingling.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian’s face was filled with shock.

The person that emerged from the unfreezing pool wasn’t Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan, or was it Dugu Fengwu. He was a familiar person and also an enemy to Yang Dingtian. It was Yan Bieqin, why was he here?

However, if Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan weren’t a match for Dongfang Bingling, how could Yan Bieqin be a match for her?

As such, the duo’s clash only had one undeniable outcome… that was Yan Bieqin getting crushed to death.

“Bang…” There was a sudden and loud echo.

The palm clash had burst out with a huge aftershock.

Yang Dingtian’s chest was shaken by the aftershock as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying.

But this space was too small, and there was nowhere to fly. He spun in the air and fell back into the corner.

But the outcome of the battle had stunned Yang Dingtian.

Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body was sent flying, and she violently vomited blood. Her tender body then crashed into Yang Dingtian.

How did this happen? Dongfang Bingling was so formidable, but she was sent flying?

Yang Dingtian didn’t have time to think so much as he quickly caught hold of Dongfang Bingling’s body and couldn’t help but feel the impact.

Dongfang Bingling vomited another small mouthful of blood after getting caught by Yang Dingtian and immediately fainted. It was unknown if she were still alive or not.

After taking another glance at Yan Bieqin, he had just landed and was filled with shock, but he was unscathed and didn’t have any injuries.

It wasn’t just Yang Dingtian, Yan Bieqin was stunned as well. To be honest, the instant he jumped down and saw Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike, he only had one thought in his mind, “My life is ending here.”

Yan Bieqin’s palm strike was completely instinctive.

But no one expected that Yan Bieqin’s palm strike would send Dongfang Bingling flying, vomiting blood, and be in an unknown condition.

However, Yan Bieqin was perfectly fine and didn’t even suffer any injury.

After seeing Dongfang Bingling in an unknown condition, Yang Dingtian recalled that when Dongfang Bingling executed a palm strike, she didn’t seem to have any energy at all.

That’s right, he had transfused his blood to defrost Dongfang Bingling and had also resuscitated her in a short time. But his overbearing nine yang blood had made all of Dongfang Bingling’s cultivation to vanish without a trace. Hence, her palm strike didn’t have any power and couldn’t injure Yan Bieqin.

Thus, Dongfang Bingling had only awakened for just a few seconds before fainting again.

***

Yan Bieqin took a glance at Dongfang Bingling and at his own palm. His absolutely pale face had regained its color.

Yang Dingtian placed Dongfang Bingling on the ground and drew his Sky Devil Flame Saber before standing up and asking, “Yan Bieqin, why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here?” Yan Bieqin said, “I am the Young Lord’s absolute confidant. Is it strange for me to accompany him to the East Parting Grassland?”

Yang Dingtian said, “Even if that is the case, you can accompany him to the East Parting Grassland, but there is no reason for you to be here. This place is Qin Huaiyu’s most confidential secret.”

“That’s right. It is supposed to be like this.” Yan Bieqin said, “But, I coincidentally encountered the Foxman experts that were pursuing Young Lady Dugu Fengwu, and I joined in the battle to help her escape. We have been fighting and running; hence, I followed her to the Burial Land’s central lake.”

Yang Dingtian asked, “Even so, you shouldn’t be the one to kill Dongfang Bingling and me. Why isn’t it Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan?”

Yan Bieqin said, “Because the Foxman Race’s absolute expert had also pursued over here. That person is very powerful and can even contest against two Martial Supreme experts. Hence, to not be defeated, Young Lord Qin is required to work together with Young Lady Dugu and Mister Gudu. Among the four, I am the one with the weakest cultivation; therefore, I’m here to kill you.”

No wonder.

Yang Dingtian asked, “Who is the absolute expert from the Foxman Race?”

Yan Bieqin replied, “The Foxman chieftain. Because Dugu Fengwu snatched their race’s thousand-year fire attribute demon core, hence, he had pursued all the way here.”

Yang Dingtian’s eyes contracted, “Who exactly are you? Why are you Qin Huaiyu’s confidant?”

“I am just Yan Bieqin.” He laughed and said, “Why am I his confidant? I have been following him for over ten years. Is this reason enough?”

Yang Dingtian questioned, “Then why doesn’t the Qin City know of your existence?”

Yan Beiqing explained, “Because I am my Lord’s most important chess piece. It is why almost no one knows of my existence. Of course, the function of this chess piece is something you will soon understand.”

“Then what is your objective for getting close to Qin Mengli?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Yan Bieqin said, “Qin City’s Lord dotes on his younger sister. Thus, he gave her a shocking amount of wealth. However, Young Lord wants to get a share of this wealth for himself. Is this reason enough?”

Yang Dingtian nodded. This reason was very ample.

“What is your cultivation?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“1-star Martial Supreme.” Yan Bieqin answered.

Yang Dingtian was appalled as he didn’t expect this person to be so formidable.

Yang Dingtian had guesses about this mysterious Yan Bieqin previously. But he merely guessed that Yan Bieqin was a Martial Ancestor and never expected Yan Bieqin to be a 1-star Martial Supreme.

This person might be far inferior to Dongfang Bingling, but to kill Yang Dingtian, it was as easy as blowing dust. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had exhausted most of his mystic qi and had lost a third of his blood. Even if Yang Dingtian’s opponent were a 9-star Martial Mystic, he wouldn’t be a match at all.

Right now, Yang Dingtian’s opponent was a 1-star Martial Supreme, and his cultivation was several times superior to Yang Dingtian. It was truly a battle that didn’t have any possibility of resistance.

To be truthful, even if Yang Dingtian took the risk of being annihilated to attack Yan Bieqin with the vicious sword spirit, it still wouldn’t do any harm to Yan Bieqin.

Of course, Yang Dingtian could also use the Evil Soul Art, but the soul tool no longer had the powerful puppet battle soul.

There was only one method for Yang Dingtian to deal with this person. The method was one that Yang Dingtian had used to deal with Wu Xingwen.

“Shall we make a deal?” Yang Dingtian asked slowly.

Yang Dingtian was almost certain that no evil person would be able to resist the temptation of the Evil Soul Art.

Back then, Wu Yingwen was turned into an idiot after getting backlashed by the modified Soul Burst Art. Right now, it could also be used on Yan Bieqin. Even though he was Qin Huaiyu’s confidant, Yang Dingtian could still feel his exuberant ambition.

Since there was no longer any powerful puppet battle soul in the soul tool ring, Yang Dingtian would have to modify the Soul Assimilating Art. He would need to make Yan Bieqin extract his own soul.

Of course, this was extremely difficult. Unlike the time with Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian simply had to show Wu Xingwen the power of the Soul Assimilating Art before convincing him to use the modified Soul Burst Art.

Right now, he wanted to make Yan Bieqin use the modified Soul Assimilating Art to extract his own soul. It was probably going to be very difficult.

Yang Bieqing was probably much more crafty than Wu Xingwen too.

When Yang Dingtian spoke about making a deal, Yan Bieqin didn’t respond.

Yang Dingtian repeated once more, “Yan Bieqin, shall we make a deal?”

“A deal?” Yan Bieqin sneered and said, “Are you going to use the soul tool ring or the Evil Soul Art to entice me and deal with me by using the method you used against Wu Xingwen? Are you trying to make me turn myself into an idiot? Do you think I am that foolish? Yang Dingtian!”

Yang Dingtian was speechless.

He had yet to even speak of his plan, but it had been seen through by Yan Bieqin. Yang Dingtian had never encountered such a situation before.

It seemed like Yan Bieqin was indeed Qin Huaiyu’s trusted confidant as he even knew of such a confidential incident that involved Wu Xingwen.

Furthermore, it seemed like Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyu’s relationship had reached a certain extent. Wu Xingwen’s incident and Yang Dingtian knowing the Evil Soul Art was something that only Dugu Fengwu knew. She had actually divulged such a secret to Qin Huaiyu too.

Yang Dingtian let out a helpless laugh and said, “It seems like Young Lord Qin and Demon Woman Dugu have a relationship that is far more intimate than I imagined.”
