Chapter 39: The Trap (Part 1) Seeking Bookmarks

  Tang Jie pulled William over and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? How did you see Bisai Liu? Did he see you?"

  William's face was a bit pale, and the relentless pursuit of Biseliev over the past few days had left a deep impression on him: "I just drank too much and went to pee, but I saw several people walking by me on the street. At that time, I didn't pay attention, but later I turned my head and took another look, and one of them was Biseliev!"

  "Fei Sai Yu? What a coincidence! Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Tang Jie exclaimed.

  "Even if he fell into the depths of hell and was burned to ashes, I'd still recognize him!"

  Tang Jie fell silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

  William urged on one side: "What are you hesitating about? Hurry up and leave here! We have to rush to inform Captain Ball!"

  Tang Jie fell into thought for a moment, his two sword-like eyebrows slowly rising. He lifted his head, and sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Which direction did you see him go?"

  "He went west of the city, along Moor Street."

  From the green forest to Moor Street, there is only one road that can be taken. If we chase after it now, perhaps we can still make it in time.

  "Take your men and leave at once!" Tang Jie patted William on the shoulder, his face as calm as water, but with a hint of murderous intent in the corners of his mouth.

  William looked at him and a thread of suspicion floated in his mind: "And you? What do you want to do? Good heavens, you're not thinking of killing Bisclair, are you?"

  Tang Jie was told by William that it's time to settle the score, he smiled slightly, his voice cold: "Captain Ball's debt, and the brothers lost on the ship, this account is due for him to pay!"

  "Are you crazy?!" William grabbed Tangie's arm "Do you know how many people in York and Mata want Bise's life? But he is still alive! Those assassins who went to kill him, no one has ever come back alive!"

  Tang Jie burst out laughing: "When we were in Jail of Jerulan, you said the same thing. Now, you're saying it again?"

  William's face was stunned and he couldn't say a word.

  "It's better to settle him once and for all here, rather than being on guard against his sudden sneak attacks all the way!" Tang Jie's voice was filled with a strong and resolute tone, after several battles, he had become even more seasoned, not at all like a young man in his early twenties.

  He coldly smiled: "This time, I'll see where he conjures up so many pursuers! The Kingdom of Mata is not his York Kingdom! Don't worry, I'll chase after him to take a look. If I can't catch up with him, then that's it. If I do catch up... Hmph..."

  William also felt that Tang Jie made sense. If there was an opportunity to kill Bi Sui Liu, this was the best chance.

  He nodded: "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything more. Take care of yourself, I'll take Bill and the others back to Hell's Gate first!"

  He grasped Tang Jie's arm heavily: "You must come back!"

  Tang Jie punched himself in the chest and laughed: "You make it sound like I'm going to go die or something!"

  The two men who had a life-and-death friendship exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

  Tang Jie watched as William turned and walked out the door. He suddenly shouted: "William, if I haven't returned by dawn, don't wait for me..."

  William's body shook, he turned back, staring tightly at Tang Jie's eyes: "Tang Jie, we will always wait for your return! Because, you are our captain, I'm still waiting to board your new ship and set sail for you!"

  Tang Jie felt a warmth in his heart and nodded at William: "Don't worry, I'll definitely be back."

  After seeing William off, Táng Jié walked out of the room and stood at the door, scanning the bar with a glance. The pirates from Hell's Number exchanged a look with him before leaving one after another.

  Maria leaned against the bar, gazing at him with a mesmerizing stare, her eyes fluttering. She knew that Donnie was leaving, but she had no idea when this man would come again next time.

  Maria's eyes showed a lingering and reluctant emotion that had not been seen for many years.

  Tang Jie smiled and was about to walk over to bid her farewell, but suddenly heard the sailors inside the bar loudly shouting: "Maria, sing a song!"

  "Yes, Maria, sing us a song! How can we not hear Maria's voice at the Green Forest Bar?"

  The sailors raised their glasses and gazed at Maria with fervor.

  Maria looked at Tangie with a hint of apology, tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear, raised a highball glass filled with amber-colored rum, and smiled warmly: "What would you like to hear?"

  The sailors burst out laughing: "Maria, what do you want to sing? We'll listen to whatever!"

  Maria smiled and said with a charming tone: "Alright then."

  Tang Jie walked to the entrance of the bar, pulled open the door, turned his head and took a deep look at Maria, this famous socialite from Sicily, then smiled and walked out.

  It was already late at night, and the port of Sisi had few people, no one could be seen on the street, only the low-hanging night sky with a few twinkling stars.

  A gust of sea breeze came, and Tang Jie felt a slight coolness on his body. Behind him, Maria's rich and magnetic voice slowly rose, her singing voice in the night color of Xixi had a sense of mystery and emptiness.

  "Your shadow came with the wind, and we met by chance on the edge of the ocean."

  "I lowered my eyelashes and listened intently to your voice until the fine wine evaporated into smoke."

  "A rose-tinted life and a boundless trajectory, you personally added for me."

  "The sea god Thira is also praying for your return, my love, my thoughts."

  Tang Jie thought of Maria's plump red lips and unconsciously touched his own lips with his hand, revealing a faint smile.

  Maria, this beautiful woman as lovely as a firework, will we meet again?

  Tang Jie smiled and suddenly exerted force with both legs, quickly running down the street.

  He was still as a virgin when he was quiet, and like a strong wind when he moved. The figure that had just stood upright like a banner suddenly turned into a trail of residual shadow.

  Tang Jie absorbed the lessons from getting lost in Dam City, and after arriving at Xixi, he took out the map prepared by Captain Bar and memorized the streets here clearly. These two days, he happened to have gone to Moore Street, so he sprinted all the way, familiar with the route, and flew towards the direction where Bisiere disappeared.

  After staying in Sis for three days, this seaside city left a very good impression on Tong Jie, especially the Green Forest Bar and Maria, she and her bar added a lot of color to the city.

  But Tang Jie, who was running at a breakneck speed, did not realize that a web of heaven and earth was pouncing on him, and he himself was jumping into a deadly trap bit by bit.

  The beautiful and luxurious Xixi suddenly turned into a cold and gloomy cave.

  Bisai Liu was not wrong at all, from the moment he entered this world, his path had been too smooth. This young man relied on his wit and bravery to kill his way through, overcoming obstacles and encountering almost no resistance.

  This smoothness plunged Tangie into an unprecedented confidence, of course, he had thought that Bisai might be luring him out and setting a trap for him. But Tangie confidently believed that he was not afraid of any traps, even if he was in a predicament, he could still kill his way out like he did in the Jialan Prison!

  But this time, Tang Jie encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the Storm Sword Fighter Sergei.

  Unlike the two main opponents Tang Jie had encountered before, Sergey was indeed arrogant, but he also had the capital and strength to be arrogant. This man was only twenty-seven years old, and his strength was about to break through to the fifth level of swordsmanship, which was also an extraordinary achievement in the Warrior's Guild on the Pondell Continent!

  What's even more frightening is that Sergey never underestimates his opponents!

  He absolutely won't be like the first third-class sword fighter Tang Jie encountered, who carelessly used his finishing move in front of him and then revealed an opening for his opponent to take advantage of; nor will he be like Blood Butcher Phil, who relied on his hard armor to abandon his longsword and engage in close combat with his opponent.

  Sergey's terror lies in the fact that before starting a fight, he despises all his opponents and even toys with them. However, once the battle begins, he bursts out with the strongest fighting power in the shortest time possible, killing his opponents at lightning-fast speed!

  The title of Storm Sword Fighter, it's come from this!

  Tang Jie's figure quickly ran through the streets of Xixi, and soon he turned into Maole Street. As soon as he turned a corner, he saw an old man standing in the middle of the street, with his hands clasped together in front of him, looking at him with a leisurely and smiling face.

  Tang Jie was shocked, he stopped in his tracks, nailed to the spot like a nail, his back arched slightly, like a vigilant leopard, his whole body tense and ready to pounce!

  "Not outside my expectation, you've come as I thought!" Bisaiyu smiled and gazed at the young man with black hair in front of him. He slightly bowed his head, like an ancient elegant noble, and made a courtesy "Nice to meet you for the first time, please allow me to introduce myself."

  "I, Muteera Gai Baisalieu, hereditary Duke of York under the jurisdiction of the Pond Empire and Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom's Navy, at your service!"

  "Are you Bixue Liu?" Suddenly, at the mention of Bixue Liu's name, Tang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully sized up the old man in front of him, and gave a cold smile.

  "Absolutely genuine, young man!"

  Tang Jie's slightly clenched fist began to emit waves of golden aura: "You deliberately revealed your figure and lured me here?"

  "Absolutely right!" exclaimed Bi Sai, applauding.

  Tang Jie took a deep breath, his center of gravity slowly lowering, his entire body slightly arched, like a bow and arrow slowly being drawn!

  "It seems you understand I want to kill you, but why are you so sure I'll definitely follow you?" Tang Jie smiled.

  "Ha, young man, you should take a look in the mirror, your eyes are filled with confidence!" Bisai said with a smile. "In the past, your confidence made you invincible and unbeatable! But if I were to describe this confidence with another word, it would be arrogance! Today, this arrogance will lead to your demise!"

  Tang Jie's smile: "Oh? You're so sure you can kill me? Don't you know that within ten steps between us, I can pounce on you in the blink of an eye?"

  Bisai laughed loudly: "Really? If it's a long sword by your side that cuts off your throat, it won't even take the time to blink!"

  As soon as Bi Sai's voice fell, Tang Jie suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a long sword was quietly placed on his shoulder!

  What! How is this possible?!

  When did this guy appear behind me!!

  Tang Jie had never been so shocked as he was at this moment!

  When a confident hunter suddenly found himself becoming the prey, this blow almost made Tangie collapse instantly!

  The man behind him could silently place the long sword on his shoulder, then he could have silently pierced his heart just now!

  How could I have no inkling whatsoever!

  Tang Jie could even feel the enemy behind him, who was staring at him with a disdainful and icy gaze!

  If it were someone else, they would have already fallen into despair and given up resistance in this overwhelming adversity.

  Ketang Jie would never give up, and what was supporting him at this time was his strong survival instinct!

  Survive in this desperate situation before us, survive and then turn the tables, kill that formidable enemy!

  In Tang Jie's heart, a crazy voice was loudly roaring, overturning the seas and stirring up thunder, but his exterior remained as calm as a lake, with not a single change visible on his face.

  But only the enemy behind Tang Jie could feel it, the black-haired young man in front of him, his body hair stood up instantly, his muscles tensed up in an instant, if he was like a bow slowly opening just now, then he was like a longbow that was pulled to its limit in an instant!

  His entire body's muscles were violently trembling, like a tightly drawn bowstring!

  Bisaiyu laughed loudly, his hand slowly rose into the air, paused for a moment, and then fell heavily: "Kill him!"

  Bisai Liu's voice was icy and murderous, Tang Jie could clearly feel the long sword on his shoulder slicing through the air, slowly chopping towards his neck!

  "Boom! Boom!!"

  The heart beats violently, on the edge of life and death!

  The gears of time rotated slowly, and Tang Jie's wrist made a slight rotation.

  A surge of power burst forth like a mountain torrent, transmitted layer by layer, and reached his waist, then split into two forces that galloped away in opposite directions!

  Tang Jie's body slowly pounced forward in mid-air, his head slowly lowering, the long sword that was chopping down stuck to his scalp, slowly shaving off a few strands of black hair dancing in the air.

  Just as Tong Jie dodged the fatal sword in an impossible location, he rooted one foot firmly on the ground like the giant Antaeus of myth, absorbing the endless power from the earth, while his other leg launched a powerful and ruthless reverse kick from below!

  "Avalanche! The Purple Golden Bell has toppled!"

  Today's update is over, 4,000 words, tomorrow will be a double update.

  Also, I wish everyone a happy new year and thank you all for your support and love for me, Tangtang, in the past year!

  In the new year, I will work harder to repay everyone!

  I won't be able to go online after 9 o'clock, so I'll make an early New Year's bow here, and wish everyone a happy new year, may all your wishes come true, and everything goes smoothly!
