Chapter - 24 Brilliance of a Blade Refined a Hundred Times (5)

When he hears the words 'Mosquito Needle', Yu DaiYan immediately reaches for the places where he thought he was bitten by mosquitoes. He instantly feels week and numb. Then Yu DaiYan realizes, "He tricked me to get closer to him, so he could have a chance to hit me with these needles. Looks like the only way to get the antidote is to grab him." He takes a deep breath, and rushes forward.

His right palm shoots out, matching the palm of the other person. This palm contains all his power, and sent the other person backward. However, he also feels a bit of pain on his palm after that exchange. For his opponent once again deceives him, by coating his palm with a type of hidden weapon, one that poisoned Yu DaiYan as they matched palms. After coughing a bit, that person says, "Your power really is amazing. But my 'Seven Star Needle' is also quite deadly. Looks like it's a tie."

Yu DaiYan quickly takes a 'Heaven Heart Antidote', but realizes that this can only delay the effects of the poison. He then tries to attack the enemy with his saber, but his attacks were easily parried.

Then he heard that person say, "Do you want your life or the saber?" Yu DaiYan says, "Fine. I'll give it to you." And throws the saber down. That person happily picks up the saber and begins to examine it. Yu DaiYan says, "Now where's my antidote?" That person laughs, "You really are stupid. Why did you give me the saber before I gave you the antidote?" Yu DaiYan says, "A man should remain true to his words. You promised me the antidote." That person says, "When you had the saber, I was afraid of you. After all, even if you can't beat me, at least you may throw the saber away. But now that I have saber, why should I still care about you?"

Yu DaiYan feels much rage coming up from his chest, thinking that Wu Dang and Heavenly Eagle Sect has never had problems before, plus this person's kung fu is quite powerful in the martial world. Why would he not keep his word? Yu DaiYan normally is quite hard to trick. But in such an unusual place, after getting poisoned twice, his mind obviously did not work as well. After gathering himself, Yu DaiYan asks, "May I ask your name?"

That person says, "I'm just a nobody in the Heavenly Eagle sect. If Wu Dang wants to take revenge, then obviously they should look for our leader. Besides, I Dubt Zhang SanFeng can figure out who killed you anyway." Yu DaiYan could only feel as if his hands are being bitten by thousands of ants, thinks, "Even though I die today, I'll take you with me." With a scream, he rushes up and attacks with his right palm. That person instinctively tries to block with the Dragon Saber, but forgot that the saber is extremely heavy. Instead of blocking, it actually pulled down his body. In a few seconds, Yu DaiYan's palm lands on his chest, pushing him into the water.

Yu DaiYan thinks, "Although you have obtained your precious saber, but now you've died along with it." Suddenly, he sees a white rope thrown down into the water, grabbing the waist of that person. Only to see a skinny green-robed person on the edge of the ship, pulling on the rope. Unfortunately, by this time, the poison has taken over his body, and he passes out.

When Yu DaiYan regained consciousness, he sees a small flag in a vase by the side, the flag shows a small fish swimming against the current. He thinks, "This must be Lin An city's Dragon Gate Escort Agency. What happened to me?" His mind is still muddy, so he does not try to think any more. He only feels as if someone's carrying him on a stretcher, into the middle of a big hall. When he tried to move, he realizes that he can't.

Only to hear two people converse, the first person in a booming voice, says, "You are?" The other person says, "Don't bother asking. I just want to know if you're going to take this delivery." Yu DaiYan thinks, "This second voice has a high pitch. It's seemingly that of a woman!"

The man with the booming voice says, "You think we don't have enough business here? If you won't give me your name, then you can take your business elsewhere." The person with the woman's voice says, "But the Dragon Gate Escort Agency is the only decent one around. I don't care for the others. However, if you can't make a decision, get your boss out here." The man with the booming voice says in an irritated voice, "I'm the boss. And right now, I have some other business to attend to. Please leave."

That person with the woman's voice says, "Oh… so you're Multi-Armed Bear Du DaJin…" After a pause, continues, "Escort Leader Du, nice to meet you. My surname is Yin." Du DaJin feels a little better with her praise, and says, "What do you need?" The customer named Yin says, "I need to first make sure that you can handle my delivery. Because it's very important."

Du DaJin says angrily, "I've delivered types of treasure in my twenty years here. Never have there been any problems." Yu DaiYan has also heard of this person, knows that he's a non-monk disciple of Shaolin. Du DaJin is proficient with both the fist and the saber, but he's most famous for his steel darts. He can simultaneously fire forty-nine darts at the same time, which is how he got the nickname 'Multi-Armed Bear'. It's just that Shaolin and Wu Dang are not really close, which is why they have not yet met each other.

The person named Yin says, "If it weren't for your fame, why would I come? I have a delivery for you to make, and it comes with three conditions."

Du DaJin says, "We don't accept any deliveries that require too much hassle. We don't accept any deliveries we don't know the background of. We don't accept any deliveries that's worth less than fifty thousand taels of silver." He didn't listen to the customer's three conditions, and instead named three conditions of his own.

That person named Yin says, "I'm sorry. But by my delivery will require some hassle. Its background is also quite muddy. As for its worth, well, that's hard to say. Plus I also have three conditions. One, you must personally lead the escort. Two, you must take the package to the Xiang Yang city without any rest, so it will arrive in ten days. Three, should there be any problems, humph, I will kill every single person in your Dragon Gate Escort Agency."

Only to hear a loud 'Peng!' sound, which must be Du DaJin hitting the table, who yells, "Had you want to ridicule someone, you should not have picked my Dragon Gate Escort Agency. If it weren't for the fact that you look way too small and skinny, I would pummel you right here."

The person named Yin chuckles, and then throws something heavy on the table, says, "This is two thousand taels of gold. It's the fee for this delivery." Yu DaiYan thinks in shock, "What? That's tens of thousands taels of silver. Normally it takes several years to make this much money for an escort agency." Only to hear Du DaJin breathing heavily, obviously staring at such amazing amount of wealth. After a while, he says, "Mr. Yin, what would you like us to escort?"

That person named Yin says, "First tell me if you're going to agree to my three conditions." Du DaJin says, "Since you are offering so much money, I'll risk my life this time to make sure it safely arrives. So where are the items you want to deliver?" That person named Yin says, "The package I want you to deliver is the gentleman on this stretcher." This really surprised Du DaJin and especially Yu DaiYan himself. Yu DaiYan can't help but yell, "Me…me…?" Yet for some reason, no words can leave his mouth no matter how hard he tries. Only to hear Du DaJin say, "This… this person?"
