Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: Snatching Hostages! (Third Update)
In a forested area.
Han Xinkui was tied on the ground, her mouth gagged, her hair disheveled, looking very miserable.
Ye Jingran stood right next to Han Xinkui.
Leng Kang was also there.
Surprisingly, there were only the three of them in the entire area.
"Leng Kang, is there any news from the lookout ahead?" Ye Jingran asked.
Leng Kang shook his head and said, "No."
To be safe.
Ye Jingran had sent everyone else out to lie in ambush around the area.
In case there’s any movement, he could prepare in advance.
Ye Jingran said, "Keep them alert, based on the time calculation, they should almost be here. Remember, as soon as Qin Chen is spotted, or any sign of Qin Chen appears, notify me immediately."
He was very cautious.
Knowing that once Qin Chen arrives, they will surely die.
"What’s the word outside?" Ye Jingran asked again.
Leng Kang said, "This is no longer a secret, everyone outside is discussing it, guessing who did it."
"There’s news that Qin Chen directly handed Xuu Qian three thousand Identity Creeds after hearing the news, sending Xuu Qian to rescue people while he waits for news at his place."
"Okay, I got it, you go ahead," Ye Jingran said.
Leng Kang nodded and went to investigate the situation.
Only Ye Jingran and Han Xinkui were left in the forest.
Ye Jingran’s gaze fell on Han Xinkui: "You better pray that guy does as I say, otherwise, you’re dead."
Though he said it,
Ye Jingran believed in his heart that Qin Chen wouldn’t dare act rashly.
Thinking about getting three thousand Identity Creeds excited Ye Jingran immensely.
He was sure he had bet right!
Not long after,
Leng Kang appeared.
"Brother Ye, there’s news from the lookout in the northeast direction, Xuu Qian has been spotted."
Ye Jingran immediately became alert: "Are you sure it’s only Xuu Qian alone?"
Leng Kang said, "For now, it’s only Xuu Qian we’ve seen."
Ye Jingran’s lips curled into a smile: "He really listened well."
"Issue the order, have all the ambushers secretly surround Xuu Qian once he arrives, until Xuu Qian hands over the three thousand Identity Creeds, ensuring nothing goes wrong."
Leng Kang immediately nodded and went off.
Ye Jingran said to Han Xinkui: "I must say, you’re quite valuable, tsk tsk, three thousand Identity Creeds, handed over just like that without a hint of hesitation."
"Congratulations, you’re about to be free."
Ye Jingran didn’t dare do anything to Han Xinkui.
He feared Qin Chen!
He only wanted what he desired, as for Han Xinkui, he wouldn’t harm a single hair on her.
If he harmed Han Xinkui, he would be foolish.
If possible, he didn’t want to anger Qin Chen.
Han Xinkui gritted her teeth.
Qin Chen handed over three thousand Identity Creeds to exchange for her.
She was naturally moved.
But.
She felt uncomfortable inside.
These vile people, would do anything to get the Identity Creeds, truly insidious and treacherous.
At this moment.
Xuu Qian arrived.
Seeing Han Xinkui bound on the ground, he looked coldly at Ye Jingran.
"You have some nerve, kidnapping my boss’s friend?"
Xuu Qian was a capable person.
Even in the middle of the ambush, he showed no fear but rather had confidence.
Ye Jingran said, "Less nonsense, hand over the Identity Creeds, one hand for Identity Creeds, the other for the hostage."
Clearly, he was unwilling to waste time with Xuu Qian.
To him,
Every passing minute meant increasing danger.
If possible,
He wanted to conclude the transaction as soon as possible.
Xuu Qian sneered coldly, placing the box filled with three thousand Identity Creeds on the ground, then opened it.
Seeing the box full of Identity Creeds, Ye Jingran and others’ eyes immediately grew feverish.
Truly tempting!
Many people’s eyes showed greed.
Why did they join this Cliff Entrance Battle?
To enter Saber Saint Cliff!
At this moment, these Identity Creeds are more enticing to them than any Heavenly Treasure.
At this time.
While the transaction was taking place.
Not far away.
Qin Chen and Lin Songyun, utilizing the Invisibility Talent and Heavenly Concealing Skin, were standing afar watching.
Seeing Han Xinkui bound there, unable to move.
Qin Chen’s and Lin Songyun’s eyes were filled with anger.
Especially Lin Songyun.
She regarded Han Xinkui as a good sister.
"Qin Chen, when do we strike?"
Lin Songyun transmitted with Elemental Power to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen transmitted: "Don’t rush, let’s first ensure Xinkui’s safety, then move."
In the worst case, Ye Jingran and others could flee with the Identity Creeds.
Even if so.
Qin Chen had to first ensure Han Xinkui’s safety.
Lin Songyun transmitted: "Qin Chen, look quickly! Isn’t that someone we’ve seen before?"
She was referring to Leng Kang.
Qin Chen also saw Leng Kang, his lips curling coldly: "Seems he didn’t heed my warning, I let him go and yet he dare act so wickedly, clearly unlearning his lesson."
"Whoosh!"
But at this moment.
A sudden attack came towards Qin Chen and Lin Songyun’s location.
Qin Chen was startled.
Immediately he pulled Lin Songyun, both shifting their positions.
Though they dodged the attack.
But at the same time.
Their positions were disclosed.
"I just felt someone was there, didn’t expect it was true, Brother Ye! Quickly go!"
The attacker from Shadow Hall immediately shouted.
Originally.
Ye Jingran was about to secure those three thousand Identity Creeds.
But then this shouting voice sounded.
Startling Ye Jingran.
Qin Chen’s face darkened, these people weren’t simple, typically he and Lin would be unnoticeable, didn’t expect they’d be exposed.
What Qin Chen didn’t know was.
Shadow Hall’s disciples were inherently skilled in stealth, so their ’senses’ were sharper than ordinary people.
Certainly.
The Shadow Hall disciple had only felt it, purely wanted to test.
Yet unexpectedly.
Qin Chen and Lin Songyun fell into the trap.
"What now?!"
Lin Songyun’s expression changed, worried Ye Jingran might retaliate.
"Seize her!"
Qin Chen unleashed full speed, rushing directly towards Han Xinkui.
At this moment, sudden, there was no other choice.
Though Qin Chen used the Invisibility Talent.
But.
Such a storm-like speed was naturally non-concealable.
Ye Jingran’s face showed drastic change, he swiftly tossed the box of Identity Creeds into his Qiankun Bag, then grabbed Han Xinkui and bolted.
As for the others.
He ignored them entirely.
Logically speaking, he could have used Han Xinkui to threaten Qin Chen on the spot.
Yet he didn’t.
Clearly.
He wanted to keep all those Identity Creeds for himself.
"Brother Ye!" frёeωebɳovel.com
Leng Kang and others shouted, but Ye Jingran didn’t look back, just ran away in disarray.
Qin Chen then rushed in, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade slashing towards Leng Kang and the rest.
"Puff puff puff!"
Blood splattered!
Leng Kang clutched his bleeding neck, showing regret in his eyes, and his body then collapsed.
