Chapter 8: A Thunderous Ambush That Cannot Be Escaped
After running through the woods for about the time it takes to eat a meal, Zhang Yanan and Xiao Qi finally arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake.
Shortly after Zhang Yanan learned that the perpetrator was likely Xue Yu Fenfei from Feng Yu Lei Dian, her subordinates
found Ding Sha's coachman.
The coachman was a low-ranking member of the Demon Lord's organization. Having witnessed the gruesome death of Demon General Ding Sha, he was terrified and
fled while Lan Bingyu wasn't looking.
His legs were weak, and he couldn't run for more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before collapsing by the roadside.
The constables, seeing his pale face, profuse sweating, and suspicious appearance, questioned him briefly, and he
confessed everything, admitting that he was indeed Ding Sha's coachman.
After listening to the coachman's description of the perpetrator, Xiao Qi nodded to Zhang Yanan with certainty, "Yanan
, it seems it was indeed Xue Yu Fenfei who committed the crime."
Besides this, the coachman also recounted the conversation between Lan Bingyu and Ding Sha. Zhang
Yanan's expression changed upon hearing that Feng Yu Lei Dian and the other two had joined forces to fight the Demon Lord. "Brother Qi, if
the Demon Lord and Feng Yu Lei Dian go to war in Suzhou, I'm afraid innocent bystanders will be affected."
Xiao Qi nodded, "These people in the martial world are lawless. If we let them run rampant, Suzhou
will truly be a river of blood. The best course of action now is to catch the murderer quickly and send him to the authorities to face the law." "
That Xue Yu Fenfei has already escaped. Where should we go to hunt her down?"
Zhang Yanan asked, puzzled.
"The shores of Taihu Lake."
As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, he reached out and pulled Zhang Yanan, leading her towards the woods beside the official road.
Zhang Yanan's heart pounded as Xiao Qi held her hand. "Seventh Brother, you mean that Blood Rain Flying
will be by Taihu Lake?"
Xiao Qi answered as they ran. "Legend has it that she's a germaphobe. With her swordsmanship, she
'll inevitably get blood on her hands after killing someone. Given her personality, she'll likely linger by Taihu Lake to wash up."
Zhang Yanan gently pulled her hand away from Xiao Qi's. "Seventh Brother is right, let's try our luck. But why not
take everyone with us?"
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Blood Rain Flying is a top-tier expert. Even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to defeat her. The others
aren't very skilled; following us might just be suicide."
"Since you know that even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to defeat Blood Rain Flying, then why are you taking the risk
?"
Zhang Yanan asked.
Xiao Qi replied, "As the saying goes, a true man has things he will not do and things he must do! As a man, and with some
martial arts skills, if I were to cower in the face of danger, how could I face heaven and earth without shame?"
Xiao Qi was usually refined and cultured, and although he was a martial arts master, he always considered himself a scholar.
Zhang Yanan was impressed by his sudden display of heroic spirit at this critical moment.
The two, with their exceptional lightness skills, soon arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake and began walking along its banks.
They found nothing along the way, and just as they were about to give up, they suddenly saw a line of crimson blood on the lake
.
Zhang Yanan exclaimed with delight, "Brother Qi, this must be the blood washed away by the blood rain!"
The two quickened their pace and ran upstream. After a while, they finally saw a towering man
lying naked on the lakeshore.
Xiao Qi, with his sharp eyes, could see from a distance that the man's genitals were a mess, clearly indicating that he had recently been
intimate with a woman.
The burly man, his arm as a pillow, seemed half-asleep, completely unaware of Zhang Yanan and her companion's arrival.
Upon seeing the man's naked, muscular body and his thick, erect penis, Zhang Yanan blushed and turned
away.
Xiao Qi understood that although Zhang Yanan was usually dashing and spirited, she was still a woman and wouldn't look directly at a naked
man. So, he stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, we are
constables from Suzhou City, pursuing a murderer. May I ask if you have seen anyone pass by this place?"
The burly man was none other than the thunderous Ying Chunlei.
He immediately knew that the two constables were searching for the woman he had just been intimate with.
He slightly opened his eyes and calmly replied, "Yes, I have."
With just that slight opening of his eyes, he could clearly see Zhang Yanan and her companion.
"This man has an extraordinary air about him; he seems to be a formidable opponent. This woman is young, but so beautiful.
She and the other woman are quite different—one strong, one gentle, each with their own charm!"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken after that reply, Xiao Qi continued, "May I ask, sir, was that person male or
female? Could you describe her appearance?"
Ying Chunlei still looked listless. "She's a woman. As for her appearance, I really don't know how
to describe it. She just has a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth!"
Anyone could tell from his answer that he was just giving a perfunctory reply.
Xiao Qi needed his help, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger. "May I ask which direction that woman went?"
Ying Chunlei casually pointed. "That should be the direction! I didn't notice."
Hearing this, Zhang Yanan couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring the fact that the bearded man in front of her was completely naked, she stormed
up to him and shouted, "That woman is a ruthless murderer. Please tell me the truth about
where she went."
Ying Chunlei squinted and looked Zhang Yanan up and down. "A woman of such beauty serves the public.
If she were to suffer even the slightest injury while handling a case, I would be heartbroken."
Zhang Yanan was about to lash out at his frivolous tone when a long howl suddenly came from the woods.
Accompanying the howl were three tall, thin men dressed in yellow, green, and purple.
The leader, dressed in yellow, immediately launched into a tirade upon seeing Ying Chunlei, "You, surnamed Ying, do you even keep your word?
You clearly arranged for the three of us brothers to duel by Taihu Lake in Wuxi, and we've waited for ages without seeing
a trace of you. Turns out you're still by Taihu Lake in Suzhou!"
Ying Chunlei coughed and replied, "I also wanted to keep the appointment, but I've been harassed all the way. It
's truly unavoidable!"
The man in yellow glared at Zhang Yanan and Xiao Qi. "Were these two the ones stopping you? Ying Chunlei, you call yourself
Thunderous Might, how could you possibly take these two lowly constables seriously? Get up and fight to the death with the Three Heroes of Taicang!"
As soon as Xiao Qi heard the man in yellow call out the giant's name, he knew that this naked man was none other than
Thunderous Might Ying Chunlei from the legend of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning.
He frowned, already having made up his mind.
Zhang Yanan wasn't familiar with Ying Chunlei, but she knew that the Three Heroes of Taicang were local outlaws.
The three were brothers: the eldest, Lu Po; the second, Lu Nu; and the third, Lu Mang. They specialized in robbing caravans on the road, and many caravan companies
trembled in fear of them. They were among the highest-paid villains in Suzhou.
She had always wanted to capture these three ruthless bandits, but they were always elusive. Every time she received
a tip and arrived, they had already vanished without a trace. She never expected them to appear in front of her today. It was truly a case of "searching
high and low without finding it, only to have it come to her effortlessly."
Just as she was about to speak up and order the arrest of the three, Xiao Qi suddenly grabbed her arm and whispered,
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let them fight first."
He then shouted, "We, the constables of Suzhou City, are pursuing criminals and murderers
. We don't interfere in duels between martial arts practitioners."
Lu Po grinned wildly, "Hehehe! The constables of Suzhou City are quite pragmatic! Ying Chunlei, you take
one of our third brother's moves first!"
Ying Chunlei smiled, "Let's keep things simple, all three of you come at me together!"
Lu Po laughed instead of getting angry, "Since you're tired of living, we three brothers will grant your wish!"
Lu Po didn't expect Ying Chunlei, who had been lazily lying on the ground, to attack before he could even finish his sentence.
Although Ying Chunlei was burly, his movements were incredibly fast.
He casually picked up three stones and used his internal energy to throw them at the three Lu brothers.
Seeing the three stones hurtling towards their vital points, the three heroes of Taicang knew the danger and
quickly drew their swords to defend themselves.
Suddenly, Ying Chunlei leaped up from the ground and, in the blink of an eye, was in front of Lu Mang, the third brother of the Lu brothers.
Lu Mang had just knocked down the flying stones and had barely blinked when the giant, as tall as a small mountain, appeared before him
.
Sensing danger, he was about to strike with his sword when he heard a series of bone-crushing sounds.
Ying Chunlei had rushed forward and delivered three heavy punches to Lu Mang's chest.
After being struck, Lu Mang flew through the air like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood and rolling his eyes back; he was clearly
severely injured, if not dead.
"Third brother!"
Lu Po and Lu Nu cried out in alarm upon seeing their brother struck.
Lu Nu had barely uttered a cry when he saw Ying Chunlei's enormous fist already hurtling towards him.
He never dreamed that such a giant could move so fast.
Only now did he truly understand what "lightning-fast" meant.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Ying Chunlei's fist had already shattered his skull.
Blood spurted from his nose, and even his eyeballs were knocked out by the punch, rolling wildly on the grass.
Lu Po was the most skilled of the three heroes of Taicang.
He knocked down a flying stone, and with a swift motion, his blade cleaved down from behind towards Ying Chunlei's head, intending to
avenge his two brothers.
Lu Po's blade was renowned for its speed.
He had once beheaded three镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) who tried to stop him from robbing a caravan.
According to those present, the three heads fell almost simultaneously, with no discernible sequence.
His blade was indeed fast, but Ying Chunlei was even faster. The giant didn't even turn his head, throwing a backhand
punch.
Besides speed, Ying Chunlei had another advantage: standing a full ten feet tall, his arms were
much longer than a normal person's, even longer than Lu Po's blade.
So before Lu Po's blade could even reach Ying Chunlei, he was already struck by a punch on the left side of his face.
Only after being hit did Lu Po realize how powerful Ying Chunlei's fist was.
A pain he had never experienced before shot through his body; he could even feel his facial bones
shattering piece by piece.
Before he could even cry out, he saw that terrifying fist reappear before him.
Everything went black, and he felt nothing more, never to feel anything again.
Zhang Yanan and Xiao Qi watched the entire battle unfold clearly.
Ying Chunlei's fists were devoid of any fancy techniques; they emphasized only two words: speed and ruthlessness.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a giant could punch so quickly.
Even more terrifying was his astonishing power; each punch could kill, leaving absolutely no
room for retreat.
Just as Ying Chunlei's second punch struck Lu Po's face, Xiao Qi drew his sword.
Zhang Yanan had never seen his swordsmanship before. Normally, he could easily subdue his enemies using only fists and feet
, without needing a sword.
His sword moved like a dragon, a cold glint flashing like lightning as it pierced Ying Chunlei's armpit.
Normally, this sword strike wouldn't easily injure Ying Chunlei.
But this was the instant Ying Chunlei unleashed his punch, using all his strength, and Xiao Qi's sword
was indeed lightning fast. Even though he tried his best to dodge, he couldn't avoid being struck, a blossom of blood exploding from his armpit.
Ying Chunlei groaned, enduring the pain, and leaped into the woods by the lake.
Xiao Qi chased after him, sword in hand, shouting to Zhang Yanan, "Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will bring endless trouble!
Miss Yanan, this man is in cahoots with Blood Rain Flying, we must not let him go!"
Zhang Yanan had never expected Xiao Qi to ambush this bearded man; it wasn't until Ying Chunlei was wounded and fled that
she realized what had happened.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that since Xiao Qi had already caught up, she couldn't just let him risk his life alone.
She had no choice but to follow Xiao Qi into the forest.
After they rushed into the woods, Ying Chunlei had vanished without a trace.
Xiao Qi looked around, then pointed ahead. "Miss Ya Nan, this fiend has been stabbed and is seriously injured.
He's no match for us. We'll split up. You go that way, and I'll go that way."
Before Zhang Ya Nan turned to leave, Xiao Qi added solemnly, "This fiend is highly skilled. Once
you find him, kill him immediately. Don't give him a chance to struggle in his death throes."
Zhang Ya Nan had always respected the resourceful Xiao Qi, but this time, for some reason, when she saw Xiao
Qi's determination to kill Ying Chun Lei, a chill inexplicably rose in her heart.
However, she kept making excuses for Xiao Qi, "Brother Qi is doing this for Suzhou City. He doesn't want these lawless
martial artists to cause trouble here..."
She didn't say anything more, just nodded to Xiao Qi and then flew off in the agreed direction.
She was an experienced constable; even while running, she didn't miss any clues along the way.
She suddenly noticed a few drops of blood on a few leaves on the ground. Her hurried steps immediately halted
. After observing carefully for a moment, she continued walking in one direction.
Holding her breath, she moved forward cautiously. After a while, she heard faint breathing not far away.
Peeking out, she saw a large figure leaning against a tree – it was none other than the wounded and fleeing Lei Ting Wan
Jun, Ying Chun Lei.
Having discovered the enemy, Zhang Yanan proceeded even more cautiously, step by step.
However, Ying Chun Lei was no ordinary expert. Even with Zhang Yanan's utmost caution, he still sensed someone approaching.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face and forehead covered in cold sweat,
a stark contrast to the imposing figure who had just defeated the Three Heroes of Taicang. He was clearly seriously injured.
He grinned, "Which Suzhou constable has arrived? Come out!"
Having been discovered, Zhang Yanan stepped forward without hesitation.
If she had followed Xiao Qi's instructions, she should have killed Ying Chunlei with a single blow. However, seeing the
giant's weakened state after his injury, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
So, she simply walked up to Ying Chunlei with her knife, saying, "Come with me back to the Suzhou City government office!"
Ying Chunlei laughed upon hearing this, "What crime have I committed? Please tell me, young lady, so that I can die
knowing the truth, instead of dying in confusion by Taihu Lake."
Zhang Yanan was momentarily speechless, then paused before replying, "You are in cahoots with the murderer Xue Yu Fen Fei, and
you will likely commit crimes in Suzhou City as well. Therefore, we must arrest you."
In truth, she herself didn't understand why Xiao Qi had suddenly decided to kill him, so she could only try to give Ying Chunlei an
explanation.
Ying Chunlei chuckled, "I, Ying, will never enter the officialdom in life, nor will I go to hell in death. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why
make so many excuses? Before today, although I had long heard of the name Blood Rain Flying, I had never met her.
How can you say we're in cahoots?" Although he looked rough and tough, he was actually very perceptive and had already guessed that the blue-eyed woman just now was none other than 　　Blood Rain Flying Lan Bingyu,
who was as famous as himself . 　　Zhang Yanan straightened her chest and said, "I, Zhang Yanan, guarantee that you will receive a fair and just trial when you arrive at the Suzhou City government office 　　. If you are not involved in the crime, I assure you that you will regain your freedom." 　　Ying Chunlei said solemnly, "You are too naive, girl! Your partner wanted to kill me on the spot the moment he drew his sword 　　. He didn't want to leave any survivors! If I go to the government office with you, I'm afraid I will 　　die for no reason in less than a day! And I might even die a gruesome death!" 　　Recalling the venomous attack Xiao Qi had just made, Zhang Yanan completely believed what Ying Chunlei said. 　　She couldn't help but ask, "Ying Chunlei, did you know my Seventh Brother before this? Do you have a blood feud?" 　　Ying Chunlei spat on the ground, "Your Seventh Brother? I've never seen this 　　person before, how would I know who his Seventh or Eighth Brother is? Damn it, he actually plotted against me? He's no good!" 　　Judging from her expression, he roughly guessed that Zhang Yanan had feelings for Xiao Qi, so he immediately added fuel to the fire, "Young lady 　　, I see you're a straightforward person. You really need to be careful of someone like your Seventh Brother, who's very cunning! To put it 　　bluntly, you wouldn't even know you've been sold out by him!" 　　Zhang Yanan shook her head, "Seventh Brother isn't that kind of person!" 　　Although she said this, she was already wavering. 　　And there was an even bigger problem: how should she deal with this naked giant in front of her? 　　Kill him? She couldn't bring herself to kill him without knowing why. 　　Let him go? Xiao Qi had clearly instructed her to kill him. 　　Take him to the yamen? Aside from subduing the three infamous bandits of Taicang, this man 　　hadn't committed any other crimes. 　　How should he be charged when brought to the yamen? Just as she hesitated, Ying Chunlei suddenly 　　leaped from the grass and grabbed her. 　　Zhang Yanan initially wanted to push him away, but then she noticed that this imposing giant was trembling. 　　Her heart softened, and she couldn't bring herself to push him away. 　　Ying Chunlei was much taller than Zhang Yanan, and drops of blood flowed from the sword wound under his armpit onto her. 　　The giant weakly lowered his head and said to her, "Since you don't intend to kill me, then save me..."
