Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1924: 1918: The Fish Takes the Bait

Wang Jingman stopped!

She immediately sensed a presence behind her, but to avoid revealing herself, she suppressed her curiosity and did not look back. She quietly followed Chen Yang.

In truth, throughout the entire stone gambling process, Chen Yang had never lost sight of his own objective. At the peak of the stone gamble, he had intentionally, or unintentionally, revealed the blood bat tattoo on his back multiple times. And just as he had predicted, someone had taken notice. They had followed him all the way out of the raw stone market.

However, Chen Yang was unsure of these followers' identities. He couldn't confirm if they were connected to the Chou League. But at this juncture, Chen Yang could not afford any hesitation; regardless of who they were, he would first seize the chance to deal with them.

To draw the snake out of its hole, after departing the raw stone market, Chen Yang deliberately led Wang Jingman toward a sparse and secluded locale. After about ten minutes of walking, they arrived at a dead-end street, a cul-de-sac surrounded by old houses—a place with very few people.

By then, those trailing them could no longer conceal themselves. They dropped their disguises and stood calmly at the alley's entrance, observing Chen Yang and Wang Jingman. Their gazes were akin to looking at lambs awaiting slaughter.

Sensing that the prey had taken the bait, Chen Yang no longer hid. He turned with a smile, Wang Jingman beside him, to face the group. "Who are you people? Following me like this, what is it you seek?" Chen Yang inquired directly, a smile on his face.

At the alley entrance stood three individuals: two men and one woman. One of the men was remarkably tall, at least 1.9 meters, with robust muscles that gave him the appearance of a solid wall. The other man possessed an ordinary visage, indistinguishable from any common middle-aged man you might pass on the street without a second glance. Lastly, the woman presented the most striking style, sporting two pigtails and an outfit purely in the Lolita fashion, exuding a cute and pretty aura. Yet, her eyes were fierce, projecting a cold and domineering vibe. The black leather whip in her hand added to her chilling, glamorous presence.

"What we seek? Naturally, your life!" The woman glared at Chen Yang, her eyes filled with hatred. With a low growl, she swung her whip and charged at him.

The woman's reaction was completely unforeseen by Chen Yang. Attacking without a word? He had anticipated some form of communication first; if they were indeed from the Chou League, he would have revealed his identity to avoid conflict. This immediate assault caught him off guard.

Given the woman's murderous intent, Chen Yang had no alternative but to engage her. "Jingman, step aside for now." Chen Yang instructed Wang Jingman before rushing forward.

The woman fought with extreme ferocity, launching her attacks with full power, as if harboring a deep-seated grudge against Chen Yang and intending to kill him. She moved with incredible speed, closing the distance almost instantaneously to engage Chen Yang in combat.

Through their brief clashes, Chen Yang swiftly assessed her cultivation level: mid-stage Qi Cultivation. For cultivators at this stage, they would scarcely stand a chance against Chen Yang. However, the woman's identity remained uncertain; what if she was affiliated with the Chou League? Injuring her would be inappropriate, especially if they were potential allies of his second uncle. Thus, Chen Yang restrained himself, refraining from unleashing his true strength. He matched the woman's power, engaging in a back-and-forth struggle.

"Who exactly are you? We bear no ill will, why attack with such ferocity?" Chen Yang questioned amidst the fight, attempting to glean her identity. Yet, the woman offered no response whatsoever, relentlessly continuing her assault. The whip cracked through the air, emitting explosive sounds.

Observing her refusal to communicate, Chen Yang felt a sense of helplessness; he would have to capture her first and interrogate her later. Subduing her without inflicting harm presented a considerable challenge.

Gradually increasing his strength, Chen Yang began to press the woman, awaiting an opportunity to subdue her. "This is not good; this brute's combat prowess is formidable. We must offer assistance."

However, just as he started to gain the advantage, the two men at the alley's entrance rushed forward to aid her. These men possessed combat abilities on par with the woman, also being at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation. Chen Yang's Spirit Gathering Realm and Qi Cultivation exhibited a significant disparity, so the involvement of the two men scarcely pressured him, merely adding a degree of annoyance and making it more difficult to single out an opponent.

Facing one adversary, Chen Yang had fought evenly. Now, confronting three, he still maintained an equal footing, leaving the woman and the two men utterly bewildered. They struggled to ascertain Chen Yang's true level of cultivation. Furthermore, they could not comprehend Chen Yang's motive for his actions. His ability to contend with all three simultaneously indicated an exceptionally high combat capability and an excellent realm. So why had he not displayed such power earlier when fighting the woman alone? The trio was perplexed, but it was hardly the moment for deliberation.

With all their might, they strove to bring Chen Yang down.

Yet, no matter their efforts, they were unable to subdue Chen Yang. Instead, Chen Yang's strength escalated, and he soon regained the advantage once more.

"He's at least at the Qi Cultivation Great Perfection stage; we're no match for him!" the first ordinary man realized something was amiss.

The other two were stunned upon hearing this!

"What do we do now?" the strong man inquired.

"Run!" the ordinary man decided instantly. Sensing their inferior strength, without the slightest hesitation, he launched a final, maximum-power strike at Chen Yang and then decisively fled!

The strong man quickly followed his lead and fled as well.

The woman, reacting last, also chose to make her escape.

"What the…? They just ran off?"

Chen Yang was momentarily taken aback, completely surprised by the trio's swift retreat.

By the time he processed it, they had already disappeared from sight.

This was his only lead to locate his second uncle; he had no alternative but to give chase!

"Jingman! Wait for me in the car, I'm going after them!"

Chen Yang quickly uttered this, sprinting towards the direction the three had vanished.

The trio had been cunning, scattering in different directions as they made their escape.

Chen Yang made the decisive choice to pursue the woman.

She had been the last to react and was closest to Chen Yang, remaining about fifty meters away and still within his sight.

Therefore, chasing her presented the most viable option.

Without any further hesitation, Chen Yang pursued, no longer restraining his power.

He unleashed his full capabilities, relentlessly hot on her heels.

"Damn it!"

The fleeing woman felt the intense pressure of Chen Yang closing in.

She poured all her strength into her flight.

However, regardless of her speed, she could not outpace Chen Yang's Spirit Gathering pace.

A minute later, he caught up to her at an incomplete construction site.

The surroundings were enveloped in complete darkness, and not a soul was in sight.

"Stop right there!"

Chen Yang bellowed, leaping forward to seize the woman's back.

The woman sensed the imminent danger behind her and hastily turned to defend herself.

Yet, Chen Yang's speed proved too overwhelming; before her hands could even move to block, Chen Yang's hand had already made contact!

Landing precisely on her chest!
