As if they had practiced countless times, when Ji Yunkai bent over, Xiao Jiu'an leaned back against Ji Yunkai's back, and borrowing the strength from Ji Yunkai's back, his feet were suspended in the air and kicked toward Ye Cang Qiong.

*Bam!* Ye Cang Qiong was hit and fell back uncontrollably. However, Xiao Jiu'an was unwilling to let him go. After both of his feet landed on the ground, Xiao Jiu'an's wrist moved, and three silver blades, that were sparkling with light, shot out toward Ye Cang Qiong.

The three throwing knives had already arrived in front of him. With their speed, he could only send one flying and avoid the other.

*Pah!*

*Dong!*

The silver knife was as thin as a cicada's wing and about the size of his pinky. It was only a blade and had no handle. After it hit the calf, the whole blade went in, leaving only a slender cut in its wake.

"Damn it!" Ye Cang Qiong lowered his head and looked at his wound. He knew that this wound was extremely troublesome, but he no had time to deal with it.

Raising his head, he saw Ji Yunkai pulling Xiao Jiu'an and running away, and they were just about to go out from his sight.

However, he did not know how Xiao Jiu'an's throwing knife did it, but with every step he took, his calf felt as if it was being pierced right through. It felt as if there was a sawtooth that drilled into his calf relentlessly.

"Xiao Jiu'an!" He had no choice but to stop and pull out the knife. He cut open the wound on his calf to take out the throwing knife that was embedded in his flesh.

The throwing knife was stuck in his flesh. Ye Cang Qiong cut a finger-long knife wound in his calf and tore it open. Only then did he find the throwing knife. However, finding the throwing knife did not mean that he could take it out.

Xiao Jiu'an's throwing knives were double-edged and were serrated. Once stuck, it would be hard to take it out.

"Xiao Jiu'an, you deserve to die!" Ye Cang Qiong looked at the throwing knife stuck in his blood vessels. His anger rose greatly, and his delicate face became twisted and terrifying because of it.

But, no matter how angry he was, it would be useless. Unless Ye Cang Qiong did not want his leg and did not want to chase after Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai anymore, he had to take out the blade stuck in his flesh.

Ye Cang Qiong was not a doctor nor was he a patient person either. He extended his finger into the wound, pinched the blade, and then pulled it out.

"AHH!" Blood instantly spurted out. Ye Cang Qiong was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat as he cried out uncontrollably.

"Ugh!" Ye Cang Qiong bit his lips and casually tossed the blade aside. He took a few deep breaths before suppressing the pain.

The throwing knife was pulled out by brute force which caused several blood vessels to be cut. Without any signs of stopping, blood continued to flow out from the wound. Ye Cang Qiong took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and poured it all over the wound. Soon enough, the wound was completely soaked in the medicine, and the blood, that continued to flow, came out slower than before.

Ye Cang Qiong looked at it as though it was nothing. He tore off two pieces of cloth from his clothes and casually wrapped them around his wound.

The wound was still painful, but it did not hurt as badly like before. Every step he took felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife now, but it was still tolerable.

After tidying up his wound, Ye Cang Qiong did not waste any more time and immediately gave chase.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai were no longer outside the courtyard. Ye Cang Qiong walked a few rounds around the courtyard before he finally found the footprints of Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai, and he did not hesitate to follow.

Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai were not familiar with the area. In addition, the two were injured, so their speed was greatly limited. Although Ye Cang Qiong's left leg was injured, he could still run. Before long, he saw the figures of Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai.

"Xiao Jiu'an, let's see where you can run to." In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to Ji Yunkai and Xiao Jiu'an. However, the moment he was about to pounce upon them, he suddenly saw Xiao Jiu'an's wrist move, and a silver light flashed past.

Having just suffered a huge loss to Xiao Jiu'an, Ye Cang Qiong was truly afraid of Xiao Jiu'an's throwing knives. He did not wait for Xiao Jiu'an to move as he quickly dodged them.

As he had dodged too hastily, he did not notice with which leg he landed on. His injured left leg stepped on the ground first, causing his head to be covered in sweat from the pain.

"Idiot." Xiao Jiu'an did not run. Instead, he stood in place and sized Ye Cang Qiong up with a haughty attitude.

He did not have the strength to shoot out the throwing knives, nor did he have the strength to escape. Previously, when he was able to kick Ye Cang Qiong, and shoot out three throwing knives, he was relying on the pills that Feng Qi had given him. But no matter how effective the pills were, they were limited, and he could not eat too many of them.

After realizing that he had been tricked, Ye Cang Qiong was enraged. "You, husband and wife, are simply the same as a small marten." Ji Yunkai had used the same move on his subordinates and succeeded as well.

"Thank you for your praise, Villa Master Ye, This King will properly settle this debt for you." To be able to force him into a sorry state and make him run away, Ye Cang Qiong was already considered very strong, even though he had taken advantage of the fact that he was still poisoned.

"Settle the debt? You think you have a chance? Xiao Jiu'an, you think too highly of yourself, and you think too highly of your Yanbei Army." Ye Cang Qiong knew of Xiao Jiu'an's threat, and he also knew what he was relying on.

Xiao Jiu'an relied on nothing but the Yanbei Army, but when the Yanbei Army changed hands, what else could Xiao Jiu'an use?

"You want the Yanbei Army? Is it your plan?" Xiao Jiu'an said disdainfully, the silver throwing knives rested in his palm, as if he was ready to throw them at any time.

Ye Cang Qiong did not know of Xiao Jiu'an's true condition. Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an was still holding onto the throwing knives, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being. He only stood to the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

He had plenty of time. The longer he dragged it on, the more advantageous it would be for him. Xiao Jiu'an's people were all being held up, and there would be no reinforcements coming to help him tonight. Between the two of them, the final winner must be him.

"I, the wild grass of the Jianghu, am not interested in your Yanbei Army." Even if the Yanbei Army landed in his hands, he would not be able to use it. He only wanted the life-saving medicine and the person who had the ability to revive the dead.

"If it wasn't you, then who is it? Who are you working with?" This was what Xiao Jiu'an had always wanted to know. He was poisoned in the first place because there was someone in the army who had betrayed him.

He pretended to be in a coma for a few months in order to let the traitor jump out to strike. He did not expect for the traitor to be more patient than he had thought.

Fortunately, the opposite party had finally made his move today!

Today, no matter what, he had to find out who the traitor was within the Yanbei Army....
