Chapter 73.1

“I’ll give you the jade, I’ll give you the jade…” The leader of the kidnapper stretched out his hand and handed the jade strip to the man in black, “Please let me go, I don’t want anything else, I’ll give it to you…”

The leader of the kidnappers is not an easy person to be able to sit in his current position. He even has a lot of lives in his hands but he never thought that one day he would meet someone this powerful,  who would take the lives of so many people at the mere touch of a finger.

The gradual amplification of panic stretched the kidnapper’s pupils to the limit, and he couldn’t tell whether the liquid on his face was tears of fear or sweat.

His hand holding the jade bar was sore but the man in black still had no intention of taking the jade bar.

The leader of the kidnappers begged desperately: “Please…”

The man in black lowered his head, his cold eyes swept over the almost wrinkled face of the leader of the kidnappers and then he looked at the jade bar held by the leader of the kidnappers.

The leader of the kidnappers stared at the man in black.

But the man in black said, “Dirty.”

The leader of the kidnappers understood immediately and hurriedly wiped the jade strip on himself and then handed it to the man in black: “It’s clean now, I wiped it clean.”

“Dirty is dirty. With your dirty hands holding it, it will never be clean.” The man in black said coldly, then raised his hand.

A strong gust of wind swept through.

Before the leader of the kidnappers could dodge, his body stiffened, and then he fell straight to the ground.

Scarlet blood flowed from the broken neck of the kidnapper leader and it spread all over the ground in the blink of an eye. The jade bar in his hand also slowly rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound when it hit the ground…

The next moment, the man in black stepped on it.

The jade strip, which was as thick as a baby’s wrist, was stepped on by the man in black and it unexpectedly shattered into several pieces.

The rest of the hostages stared at this scene with wide eyes and the fear lingering in their eyes almost dripping out of them as they moved backwards until they were pressed against the wall behind them.

It’s a pity that their mouths were all blocked and they could only make helpless murmurs.

Only Hua Zi Zang watched the man in black approaching with complicated eyes. He sat on the ground without moving and looked up at the man in black who had already walked in front of him.

The man in black looked at the wooden box he had been holding all this time: “Is this yours?”

Hua Zi Zang stared at the black-robed man closely, his pretty face turned white to green then blue to red. After a long while, he seemed to gradually understand something, gritted his teeth and squeezed out one word: “Yes.”

The man in black chuckled lightly: “How about giving it to me?”

Hua Zi Zang remained silent for a long time, his voice was like a mosquito’s cry: “You can take it.”

After accepting the wooden box, the man in black threw down a small and exquisite dagger, which happened to land on Hua Zi Zang’s tied hand behind him. He looked down at Hua Zi Zang who looked embarrassed and said, “This is your thank you gift.”

Hua Zi Zang guessed what the black-robed man dropped and even though he had gone through such a shameful thing just now, he restrained his messy emotions and said sincerely, “Thank you very much.”

But the man in black didn’t appreciate it and mocked him unceremoniously: “You can’t even handle a few people who don’t practice martial arts. How can there be such a loser in the famous Hua family?”

Hua Zi Zang explained embarrassingly: “I’m ashamed to say that I don’t practice martial arts…”

The man in black interrupted him: “Don’t make excuses for your own uselessness.”

Hua Zi Zang choked suddenly and his speech came to a screeching halt.

The man in black didn’t intend to stay but he didn’t rush to leave either. Instead, he suddenly raised his eyes to look forward to the right and took a few steps in that direction – that was the direction where the remaining hostages were. .

The hostages hid in the corner tremblingly, looking at the man in black with horror on their faces.

The murderous eyes of the man in black swept over them and some who couldn’t bear it shed tears of despair and everyone felt that death was imminent.

Seeing this, Hua Zi Zang couldn’t help but say, “That…”

The man in black stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Hua Zi Zang.

Those black eyes hidden under the mask were like a pool of stagnant water without any fluctuations, staring at Hua Zi Zang for a moment, as if they could see through Hua Zi Zang without any effort.

Hua Zi Zang was overwhelmed by those slightly familiar black eyes and a sense of shock involuntarily arose in his heart.

He guessed right, it was indeed Shi Ye…

Isn’t Shi Ye far away in the capital? Why did he come to Jinzhou all of a sudden?

And–

Shi Ye’s feet.

Hua Zi Zang’s eyes fell from Shi Ye’s face to Shi Ye’s legs. Only then did he belatedly realize that those legs could stand straight on the ground without any external force, and that Shi Ye’s killing movements were so swift and agile that he didn’t look like someone whose legs had been crippled for years ……

Hua Zi Zang was shocked beyond words, his mind was in a mess.

No, that’s not the point…

The point is that Shi Ye will definitely kill those hostages.

Although Hua Zi Zang and Shi Ye hadn’t met many times, he knew this legendary figure of the Hua family very well, he knew Shi Ye’s character, he knew the way Shi Ye handled things, and he knew Shi Ye’s psychology at this moment.

Since Shi Ye’s disguise is so tight, it shows that Shi Ye doesn’t want others to know his true identity.

Hua Zi Zang may be able to escape the catastrophe by relying on the face of the Hua family but the same could not be said for the hostages.

Hua Zi Zang is a doctor. He has traveled among the people for many years. It is his nature to save lives and heal the wounded. If it was some other person in front of him, even if he does not want this life, he will try to persuade him but the person in front of him now is Shi Ye…

He is nothing more than an ant in Shi Ye’s eyes and what he said may not even be a puff of wind passing the ear 1(unheeded advice) to Shi Ye.

Hua Zi Zang’s face was pale, the words of persuasion circled around on the tip of his tongue but he finally swallowed it back.

Seeing Shi Ye approaching the hostage, he couldn’t bear it anymore and closed his eyes.

However, the killing sound he imagined did not come, instead it was replaced by a sudden retching sound not far away.

Hua Zi Zang was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes to look where the sound came from and saw the other black-robed man who had not spoken all this time was propped on a tree with one hand, retching with his head buried and dry heave.

This voice attracted Shi Ye’s attention.

Shi Ye immediately turned around, strode towards the man in black robe, picking the man up horizontally and then disappearing into the hazy night in no time.

Until they disappeared, Hua Zi Zang still stared in that direction blankly.
