This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 79: Bold Blood Bodhi!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The rainy night was silent, and the lights on the riverside street were sparse.

The Blood Bodhi had brought two experts and prepared to assassinate the aunt and nephew who were having an affair on the rainy night. Before they reached the inn, they heard a warning sound from the round building in the distance.

Swish!

The Blood Bodhi thought that something was wrong and immediately wanted to escape. But after running a few steps, he realized that the shopkeeper and waiters in the inn, the waiters in the tea shop, the boatmen on the pleasure boats by the river, and even the drunkards wandering on the rainy night all made abnormal movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart was like a swarm of locusts passing through!

In an instant, everyone in sight jumped to a high place at the same time. From one end of the street to the other, it looked like a dustpan had been overturned, and the black beans inside were leaping off the ground.

Hiss!

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan gasped and retreated to the Blood Bodhi.

Even though the Blood Bodhi had been in Jianghu his entire life and was extremely experienced, he couldn’t help being stunned when he saw this scene.

His target was the man and woman who went out alone to have an affair at night. Even though he had guessed that the other party might be luring the snake out of its hole, his attention had still been on the surroundings of the inn. Who would have expected that the entire street was full of people lying in ambush?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

On the rainy night, the sound of air being torn apart was endless, and the sound coming from the round building at the end of the street was the densest.

In the blink of an eye, more than 200 people stood densely above the two-story round building. Coupled with the figures along the street, there were probably no less than 300 people.

Chen Ming looked around at the ‘heavenly net’ and whispered, “What’s going on? Were we ambushed?”

The Blood Bodhi shook his head, thinking that Ye Jingtang didn’t deliberately ‘entrap them’. After all, this trap was a little too big.

Anyone who could easily jump up two floors must have a foundation in martial arts, and it wasn’t low.

More than half of the 300 people present could fly through the air with ease. It was apparent that they were all experts of Jianghu. The round building was the most terrifying. From the movements, it was obvious that there were many first and second-rate experts. There might even be Grandmasters among them.

Against more than 300 martial artists with extraordinary skills and Grandmasters among them, even the Eight Chiefs might be in trouble if they came. Was there a need to mobilize so many people to deal with the three of them?

“Maybe we came to the wrong place. Calm down.”

The three of them didn’t dare to rashly provoke this group of Jianghu people with unknown origins. They could only stand where they were, raise their hands, and wait quietly.

The heroes of the Red Flower Pavilion came out in full force and quickly surrounded the inn.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed.

On top of the round building, the eleven hall masters stood side by side on the edge of the roof. Against the background of the lightning and rain, their auras were awe-inspiring and solemn.

Song Chi stood in the middle with his hands behind his back. He lowered his head to look at the three small fries in the alley and questioned in a low voice, “Who are you? Report your name!”

Although the Pei family had always been in the dark, the various halls outside were all far away from the emperor and openly rooted in Jianghu.

When the Blood Bodhi saw Song Chi above the round building, his heart sank. He recognized that this was the second-in-command of the Red Flower Pavilion, ‘White Buddha’ Song Chi. He was a famous fist Grandmaster in the Heavenly South, and his strength far exceeded his.

And the elegant middle-aged man standing beside him was surely the third-in-command of the Red Flower Pavilion, ‘Jiang Province Crane’ Chen Yuanqing!

If the Blood Bodhi had encountered Chen Yuanqing alone, he might be able to exchange a few moves. But with ‘White Buddha’ Song Chi and the surrounding 300 experts, if each of them spat, there were enough people to drown him in saliva. At this moment, he understood what kind of place he had touched: the Red Flower Pavilion’s headquarters!

The Blood Bodhi knew that things were bad, but he still forced himself to calm down and raised his hand slightly. “I am Wang Ying from Tu Province. We didn’t mean to offend you, but we found that something was wrong here, so we came to take a look. Please forgive us for disturbing you.”

Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing felt that these three people were strange and very suspicious.

But after thinking about it for a long time, they really couldn’t think of a motive for these three people to come to the Red Flower Pavilion in the middle of the night. They felt that they might be Jianghu people who had accidentally barged in.

But before the two of them could think of how to deal with these three rash people, a clear voice came from behind. “Blood Bodhi?”

Ye Jingtang walked out of the crowd, came to the edge of the eaves, and looked down at the alley with a very strange gaze. At this moment, he finally knew who the person who had been following him all the way was.

The Blood Bodhi’s name had a deep impact on Song Chi, who had taken root in the Heavenly South.

Song Chi sized him up carefully and realized that the old man in the lead was holding an iron cane. It indeed matched the legendary Blood Bodhi weapon. He asked in surprise, “Nephew Ye, you know this person?”

“I do. A few days ago in the capital, he tried to assassinate the Prince of Jing, and I happened to be by the Prince of Jing’s side. I helped protect her and fought with him. He likely followed me all the way here to take revenge on me… 1 just didn’t expect him to follow me to this place.”

When the Blood Bodhi saw Ye Jingtang come out of the Red Flower Pavilion, he knew that the information his employer had gathered was utterly faulty. Other than his name, not a single word was true.

After being seen through by Ye Jingtang, the Blood Bodhi knew that he couldn’t escape this calamity, so he no longer hid his identity. With both hands on the iron cane, he looked at the top of the round building and said unhurriedly, “I knew it. How could an escort from a border town and the adopted son of a merchant family know so many profound martial arts? Young Master Ye, you have hidden deeply enough. White Buddha, Jiang Province Crane… It looks like all the hall masters of the Red Flower Pavilion are here. What a large formation.”

Although the interior of the Red Flower Pavilion was not very harmonious, ‘internal disunity dissolves at the threat of external invasion’.

When the hall masters saw that the person below was indeed the Blood Bodhi and was here for their nephew of the Red Flower Pavilion, their expressions turned cold.

Song Chi took half a step forward and narrowed his eyes. “Are you here to deal with Nephew Ye?”

The Blood Bodhi’s expression was fearless as he said calmly, “I am a member of the Green Cult, and I’ve been ordered to eliminate the people around the Prince of Jing. This matter has nothing to do with your Red Flower Pavilion. Ye Jingtang is a member of your Red Flower Pavilion. Considering that the higher-ups’ information was wrong and there was a misunderstanding between us, I and even the higher-ups won’t make a move against him again in the future. I hope everyone can give the Green Cult some face.”

The Green Cult was the Green Bandits. Although they rarely mingled in Jianghu, they were extremely notorious. Not only did they have countless experts, but they even had a powerful backer. They dared to confront the Imperial Court directly and were existences that people in Jianghu kept a respectful distance from.

Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing frowned when they heard the name of the Green Bandits.

Chen Yuanqing deliberated for a moment and said, “You barged in here today, so you clearly didn’t know that this was the headquarters of the Red Flower Pavilion. You didn’t even know of the existence of the Red Flower Pavilion here before this. If we kill you, how will the Green Bandits know who killed you?”

The Blood Bodhi spread his hands fearlessly. “The Green Cult rarely asks about the matters of Jianghu, but for anyone who dares to obstruct us, we will exterminate their entire family to make an example of them. If you have the guts, you can try.”

Song Chi and Chen Yuanqing were both veterans of Jianghu. The core strength of the Red Flower Pavilion was present. If they could be intimidated by these words and didn’t dare to take action, they might as well retire from Jianghu.

After thinking for a moment, Song Chi wanted to send these three rash people away.

But beside him, Ye Jingtang raised his hand. “The three of them came for me. It’s a personal grudge. Uncles, there’s no need for all of you to help me settle the matter.”

Chen Yuanqing frowned. “Nephew Ye, you’re from the Pei family. If anyone dares to attack you, it’s equivalent to hurting the family of our Red Flower Pavilion. How can you say that it’s a personal grudge? Come back.”

The hall masters also spoke up to stop him. After all, in front of everyone, if the opponent came and they let their nephew deal with the matter himself, where would they, his uncles, put their face in the future?

But at this moment, Pei Xiangjun appeared on the roof with a bamboo hat covering her face. Standing behind everyone, she said in a hoarse voice, “Let him go.”

Hearing this, many hall masters frowned, but they had no intention of disobeying the pavilion lord and stopped talking.

Thud!

Ye Jingtang jumped down the round building and landed in the alley behind the street. He raised his hand, took a spear from a house, and looked at the Blood Bodhi in front of him. “The Red Flower Pavilion is a famous force in Jianghu. We don’t bully others with numbers. Since you’ve dared to come, I will give you a chance. It’s actually very simple to leave alive. If you can restrain me as a hostage, the elders above will definitely not act rashly. Do you dare to try?”

The three of them slowly turned around and faced Ye Jingtang.

The current situation was very clear. No matter how skilled the three of them were in martial arts, it was impossible for them to walk out of this alley alive. Their only hope of survival was that Ye Jingtang was giving them a chance to capture him and take him hostage to break out of the siege.

But if the three of them rushed forward, the heroes of the Red Flower Pavilion above would realize that the situation wasn’t right, and hundreds of people would definitely jump down.

The Blood Bodhi knew how domineering Ye Jingtang was. His eyes darted around slightly, and he pretended to have a Jianghu air about him. “Young Master Ye, you are indeed a character. The Red Flower Pavilion doesn’t bully others with numbers, so we naturally won’t fight against you with numbers. I only hope that our friends above can follow the rules of Jianghu.”

He tilted his head to signal. “Lu Ruan..”
