Towards Eternity
Ch 438's. Arrest (II)
After staring at Jian Qiang's face for a few seconds, Gouwang Zie fell silent in place and began to break out in cold sweat.
Previously, he could only vaguely remember who Jian Qiang was, but after looking at him more thoroughly, he was finally able to remember him clearly.
A few years ago, precisely when his name as the King of Thieves was on the rise, he had met Jian Qiang in one of the small towns in the Middle Region.
At that time, he was short of money because he had spent the theft he did in betting a fight. He spent more than 5,000 gold coins in the bet, and it turned out that the person who held the bet even brought the money that had been collected.
He could not do anything at that time because the person who organized the bet was protected by a Martial Practitioner who was in the realm of peak stage 2 Soul Unification, he said, much stronger than he was then. Therefore he can only resignedly see his money that must disappear just like that.
But it didn't last long, because within hours after he lost his money, Jian Qiang appeared carrying 10,000 gold coins which was the money he had made selling his rare items.
Back then, Jian Qiang was still selling his belongings wherever he went taking on missions from the Dragon Swordsman Group. You could say his belongings in Yulong City, are the remnants of his when he was still selling around in every area he went to.
In short, Jian Qiang, whose strength was not too far from Gouwang Zie, was robbed by him for putting all his money in the inn room where he had spent the night. When that happened, he was focused on carrying out the mission he took, so that when he returned home, after completing his mission, he only found out that he had been robbed.
Why did he leave his money in the inn room where he stayed the night? Because in carrying out the mission, not necessarily he will succeed in working on it. It was possible that he was caught and all his belongings were stripped and forcibly taken. That's why he left her at the inn. Unfortunately Gouwang Zie turned out to have noticed himself since coming to the small town where he was doing his mission.
A few weeks later, he found out the perpetrator was Gouwang Zie, after hearing that he was in the same town as him at the time.
"Hm? You seem to recognize me right away? Little thief..." Jian Qiang spoke in a soft voice before then walking closer towards him.
Buck....
Gouwang Zie was simultaneously sitting on the roof, where they were currently. His eyes trembled, and he had unconsciously moved back in fear.
The memory of Jian Qiang inside his head was starting to become clearer. He remembered that Jian Qiang and himself were only thinly adrift of their strength, and he who had above average speed was sure that if the two fought then he would come out victorious.
But it was only a memory once, now the aura of power from Jian Qiang's body was already far above him, and it was currently impossible for him to escape from it. Right now, he had truly regretted having stolen from Jian Qiang a few years ago.
"You-you?! How did you get to this town...?!" gouwang Zie said with nervousness and fear.
"You could say I was looking for you, so I came to Hundan City. The Free Martial Tournament held this year in Hundan City, you will definitely come, because this is a very good time to do your dirty work.
Luckily, you kindly sent your men to attack us for injuring one of your Thief Snake Group members, we were able to find you in this place, it's all thanks to what you did."
Gouwang Zie's mouth was open wide to hear it. He could not believe that he was the one who had dug his own grave tonight.
Biting under his lips, he planned to leave with all his might from there. Although he had no confidence that he would be able to escape Jian Qiang, but he had not tried it, so no one knew whether he could or not.
"Curtain, don't be arrogant! Not necessarily you can catch me!"
Finished saying that, Gouwang Zie took out a ball the size of his fist from inside his storage room and then threw it on the roof where they were.
Bdum!
Black smoke billowed instantaneously and covered the sight of all of them on the roof.
Pang Baicha also seemed a little surprised by what Gouwang Zie did. No he thought he would still put up a fight on them even though it was impossible to escape from them.
Fhuu
A shadow figure came out from within that billowing black smoke that was none other than Gouwang Zie.
He took out all his power and unleashed the power he had.
His running speed suddenly rose dramatically. In a few seconds, he would have reached the stairs to the top towards Hundan City.
Surely this matter was not left by Jian Qiang and Pang Baicha just like that. Taking a deep breath, Pang Baicha took out a quarter of his Qi and channeled it into both his legs and hands.
In the next instant, another explosion occurred, and Pang Baicha's body flew at a speed much faster than Gouwang Zie's speed running above the ground.
"You won't be able to escape, Gouwang Zie!!!" exclaim Pang Baicha.
Above the air, he created two Qi ropes from his hands which he then Taped towards Gouwang Zie.
Gouwang Zie had absolutely no intention of turning around and seeing what Pang Baicha had created. He kept running, and accelerated his pace.
A small smile and glimmer of hope appeared in his heart, just as he had already stepped on the first rung of the stairs. In one step, he immediately jumped high on the stairs, and managed to dodge both Qi Pang Baicha ropes.
"Exit!"
Jian Qiang who was in pursuit of Gouwang Zie pointed his right hand forward, and in the next second more than ten chains of Qi came out from his palm.
The Qi Chain moved very quickly up the stairs, and chased after the figure of Gouwang Zie who was almost at the end of the stairs.
"Here we go! I succeeded!" gouwang Zie.
Taps....
He stepped his foot into the outside of the stairs, which was none other than the dark passageway in Hundan City.
However, his happiness did not last long. Just now that he was intending to go further than that, Jian Qiang's ten Qi chains had already reached him first.
Srrrrr!!!!
Krrrrrccckkk.....
Ten chains of Qi wrapped around his body, from the tip of his foot to the end of his head, were all wrapped around Jian Qiang's Qi rope. Only the nose and eyes are left open.
He did not give up just like that, in an instant, strength overflowed from him and he rebelled. The chains wrapped around his body started to tremble violently, and from behind it, Gouwang Zie's body let out a bright light.
It was his Qi. He released everything he had in order to escape from the twists of the Qi chain, but unfortunately his hope of escape had already vanished. Jian Qiang's figure had already reached his place with his right hand firmly clenched.
"Shut up there, goddamn it!"
Brack!!!
Strongly, Jian Qiang hit Gouwang Zie's head and made him bump on the ground and created a small crater.
Gouwang Zie's mouth and eyes opened wide, the next second he was unconscious again because of the blow and the hard impact.
SHUU
"How?!"
The figure of Pang Baicha appeared out of the stairs towards the black market. He reached beside Jian Qiang and searched for the whereabouts of Gouwang Zie.
"I've got. He won't be able to escape anymore" said Jian Qiang who kicked Gouwang Zie's unconscious body on the ground.
Pang Baicha turned his head down and saw the figure of Gouwang Zie.
"Hmp! Damn bastard, you think you can run away from us?! You're the big wrong bastard!!! I've been training like crazy for three weeks to catch you!!"
Exasperatedly he kicked the already unconscious Gouwang Zie and was not stopped at all by Jian Qiang beside him. In fact, Jian Qiang looked like he wanted to kick Gouwang Zie like Pang Baicha did, but he was aware of his age and it was unwise.
"Let's go home, there's a lot I'd like to ask of this guy."
Jian Qiang also stepped back to their inn while dragging Gouwang Zie's body on the ground. Pang Baicha nodded and then walked following him on the side.
"Stop you!!! I won't let you go take the boss!!!"
From the previous staircase, the female figure that was tied by Pang Baicha earlier had already managed to follow them because Pang Baicha released the Qi rope that he had created to hold her back.
Pang Baicha turned around and looked at him, a small smile appeared on the tip of her lips.
"You'll come with us too. Don't forget, you and your boss are robbing me together, so I'm not gonna let you just walk away." Finished saying that, Pang Baicha darted quickly towards the woman, and was already back wrapped around her with her Qi rope.
The woman was surprised because of that, but she could not put up any resistance at all due to the far-reaching difference in strength between the two.
"You-you?! Release me!!" exclaimed the woman right in Pang Baicha's ear.
But Pang Baicha did not budge at all. He already knew that this woman would scream in his ear, therefore he had already coated his ears with the help of his Qi.
"You should just shut up, Mi'er," said Pang Baicha who immediately made the woman speechless and looked at Pang Baicha in disbelief.
"You...what do you mean?"
