223: Chapter 223 Vanished Without a Trace

Xu Jingyun jumped up abruptly, turned around to look at her surroundings, and pointed at a cornfield in the distance: "Over there, there is a small house over there."

Shi Xiaoya trusted Han Jingyang's craftsmanship one hundred percent, and seeing Xu Jingyun stand up, she asked directly: "How did you escape?"

"I stabbed him," Xu Jingyun said while running toward that direction.

"A knife?"

"Mhm, a fruit knife, one strike straight to the heart."

"Did he untie the ropes for you?"

"Of course not. An older woman helped me untie them. In that house in the village, right after Tian Chunming left, I used the method of bumping against the wall to attract a neighbor woman. The woman helped me untie the ropes and gave me a fruit knife. Hehe, I used a street performer's escape trick to tie myself back up and pretend nothing had happened. I wanted to get a strike in on that old dog Tian, but I didn't expect the old dog to be so vigilant. I never found a chance until just now..."

Xu Jingyun recounted the sequence of events in a few words.

Liu Jing looked full of admiration: "Xiao Yun, you are truly bold and calm enough. To think of a counter-kill in that situation—but it was also really dangerous, you almost..."

Xu Jingyun smiled proudly and snuck a glance at Han Jingyang: "Thinking that Brother Han was there, I, I wasn't afraid anymore. After all, Brother Han can bring the dead back to life and flesh out bones. Hehe, didn't that mean I was saved?"

Han Jingyang gave Xu Jingyun a thumbs-up: "That was truly brave, but do less of this kind of thing in the future. It's too dangerous. That Tian Chunming has extremely strong combat ability; even without two arms, he could easily crush you. Not to mention, you didn't know beforehand that Tian Chunming would become crippled. As long as a person is alive, there is hope for everything. If a person is gone..."

Xu Jingyun nodded shyly: "I will listen to Brother Han."

At the entrance of the guard shack.

Xu Xin kicked open the door, brandished his sword, and charged in, with Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya following closely behind.

But the room was empty.

Tian Chunming, who had been stabbed in the chest, had vanished into thin air.

Xu Jingyun's expression changed slightly: "This is impossible!"

Shi Xiaoya went outside to observe her surroundings and shook her head: "There are no obvious traces. Boss, do you have any way?"

Han Jingyang pulled out the copper medallion with a grave expression and activated the "Tracking" attribute once again.

After trying several times in a row, he shook his head: "Tian Chunming has a stronger dharma instrument on him."

"Then what should we do?"

"We don't do anything; let's go back. Tian Chunming is already half a cripple anyway, and he was stabbed in the chest. Even if he luckily survives, he won't be able to stir up any big waves in the future."

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

Tian Chunming is so old and has lost both arms; even if he escapes and survives, what can he do?

In the future, he will need to be fed. He won't be able to pull up his pants when going to the bathroom without someone's help.

Such a person, no matter how powerful he used to be, no longer poses a threat.

Besides, even when Tian Chunming was in good health, he suffered such a huge loss at their hands. Now that he has lost two arms, he is even less of a match for them.

Thinking this, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Han Jingyang, his whole body instantly relaxed.

There was no helping it; the pressure Tian Chunming had created for him was simply too great.

In order to kill Tian Chunming, he and these four companions could be said to have faced life-threatening situations. If it weren't for having enough life-prolonging items and skills, it wouldn't have been impossible for their small group to be wiped out.

Fortunately, in the end, everyone was safe and sound.

Otherwise, even if they could kill Tian Chunming, having to sacrifice one or even multiple companions would have been something Han Jingyang could not accept.

Han Jingyang would rather do nothing and be a bystander watching Tian Chunming do evil than drag his own companions to their deaths.

Of course, it's good now.

This super strong enemy, Tian Chunming, is off the board, and he and his companions can continue to live happily. Perfect.

Liu Qing's villa.

When Han Jingyang arrived, the villagers were eating. Seeing the group of five return, they stood up one after another, either out of respect or fear.

Village Chief Liu Zhilin hurriedly came to greet them: "Where is that Tian fellow?"

"He escaped."

"Ah?" Liu Zhilin was stunned.

The four members of Liu Jingyun's family had their expressions change drastically, clearly afraid that Tian Chunming would return to take revenge on them.

The four of them had witnessed Tian Chunming's power with their own eyes.

Han Jingyang sneered: "Rest assured, even if Tian Chunming isn't dead, he won't dare to show his face. He did escape, but he only escaped after leaving behind two arms. In the future, he will need someone to serve him for eating, drinking, and relieving himself. Such a person, no matter how powerful, what can he do?"

Upon hearing this, the four members of Liu Jingyun's family let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xu Jingyun saw a large family photo in the living room and her expression changed drastically. She pointed to one of the women and asked: "Who is she?"

Liu Jingyun glanced at it: "The eldest son's daughter-in-law."

Liu Jian hurriedly nodded with a fawning smile: "It's my eldest son's wife, her name is Yu Xiaoyu."

Xu Jingyun turned to look at Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang nodded encouragingly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Xu Jingyun took a deep breath: "This woman is in cahoots with Tian Chunming."

Liu Jian's expression changed drastically: "Impossible!"

Xu Jingyun sneered: "What I'm saying is what I saw. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I also know that this woman is currently driving toward the Zhongyue direction to help Tian Chunming divert the police's attention. Of course, that was more than half an hour ago; she might have already met up with Tian Chunming and escaped together by now."

Liu Jian's expression was extremely ugly. He hurriedly made a call, but no matter how he dialed, the call wouldn't go through.

The old lady's funeral was about to take place, yet the eldest grandson's wife had gone off the grid. Is there still any need to doubt?

Liu Jian was so angry he punched the wall and grabbed his eldest son, who was in the crowd wearing mourning clothes and looking bewildered: "Where is Tongtong?"

"Xiao Yu has been the one taking care of him."

"You, you..." Liu Jian said the word "you" twice, then suddenly fell backward, hitting the floor tiles straight on.

Seeing this, everyone panicked immediately; some made calls, some pinched his philtrum.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside. The crowd dispersed, and Shen Yuhai entered with a team of police officers and a team of SWAT officers. He looked at the situation at the scene and directly presented two arrest warrants: "Liu Qing, Liu Xin, you know what you have done yourselves. I won't say it here; I'll leave some face for your family and relatives. Handcuff them and take them away."

Seeing this scene, Liu Jingyun sighed up at the sky, closed his eyes, and let out a heavy sigh.

The family members were somewhat panicked because if Liu Qing and Liu Xin really went in, this family would completely fall apart. Although Liu Qing's children also had their own achievements, they were all in other places, and their help to these relatives was very limited.

Moreover, with the elders of Liu Qing's generation around, the relationships between the relatives could still be maintained.

If the brothers Liu Qing and Liu Xin were to go in, these kinship ties would fade a lot, and it wouldn't be easy to ask for help when something came up.

Therefore, the large group of relatives instantly created a slight commotion.

Shen Yuhai glared at them coldly and pointed at the crowd: "Think carefully before you do anything. Also, you had better pray that you didn't participate in those matters of Liu Qing and Liu Xin, otherwise, we will have plenty to talk about."

The crowd instantly went quiet.

Shen Yuhai nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Han Jingyang: "Brother, you also have things to account for, right? Come with us for a trip."
