Chapter 127: Took It Too Hard and Jumped Off a Building

The property in Donghu Imperial Garden that Lin Jian had originally purchased wasn’t a towering high-rise, but a mid-rise building with a maximum of twelve floors. Since the twelfth floor was only a bit over thirty meters high, it only took Lin Jian two leaps to reach the roof.

Up on the rooftop, the small-eyed Xu Yunzong was still absorbing the Heaven and Earth Qi and the Essence of Sun and Moon. He was posing as if he were about to ascend and become an immortal, so when Lin Jian crept up silently, he didn’t even notice!

Naturally, Lin Jian was using Invisibility at this moment; he still had nine minutes left on his Invisibility Skill.

However, just as Lin Jian was two or three meters away from him, Xu Yunzong suddenly opened his eyes and whirled around!

Yet, there was no one behind him. The rooftop was completely empty aside from himself! Xu Yunzong furrowed his brows. He had sensed something amiss and thought someone was there, but his eyes wouldn’t deceive him—there was no one else on the roof!

PHEW.

He let out a long breath, then turned back around and closed his eyes to continue his comprehension!

That’s right, he was comprehending the martial path, not actually absorbing the Heaven and Earth Qi or the Essence of Sun and Moon. To put it bluntly, someone at his level was still far from capable of absorbing such profound energies!

However, just as he closed his eyes to meditate again, a sudden gust of fierce wind rushed at his face! Startled, Xu Yunzong hastily opened his eyes and tried to dodge. But as he darted backward, it felt as though he had crashed directly into someone’s chest!

Immediately after, his right arm was seized in a vice-like grip! He yanked with all his might, yet he couldn’t pull it free.

The next second, that immense Power suddenly shoved his arm upward, then violently yanked it down!

CRACK!

His right shoulder joint had been dislocated!

Bone Shattering Hand!

"Who..."

Xu Yunzong realized that he still hadn’t seen anyone. No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t see them; it was that there was no one there at all! But... but... Every hair on his body stood on end!

Yet, he was still entirely at the mercy of his unseen assailant. Unable to control his own body, his left arm was forced up and then pulled down, resulting in another dislocated shoulder.

Xu Yunzong was completely bewildered. An invisible man? A Ninja? Or had he run into a ghost? He couldn’t see his attacker, nor could he predict their moves. He only felt as if his body was glued to the opponent’s hands, being tossed around like a giant toy!

A few seconds later, he found both of his ankle joints twisted. It felt just like severely spraining an ankle while playing basketball—they were completely dislocated!

"Who are you, sir? We can talk this out! I am a disciple of Kongdong..."

WHOOSH!

No one answered him. He suddenly realized he had been hoisted over the invisible man’s shoulder! Then, while still dazed and confused, he watched in horror as he flew down from the roof!

No, it was the invisible man carrying him who had jumped off the twelfth-floor roof!

Xu Yunzong felt a sudden urge to urinate, his heart leaping into his throat!

It felt like a few seconds, or perhaps an entire century, before he suddenly felt himself hit the ground. He rolled a few times, a sharp pain radiating through his body.

However, the pain was bearable. Xu Yunzong realized that his attacker had executed a roll upon landing to break the fall. Since he was being carried, he had been crushed underneath the invisible man during the roll!

He wondered, "Heavens, he jumped from the twelfth floor and didn’t die?"

Xu Yunzong felt as though he were dealing with a Divine Being. Even a Grandmaster wouldn’t be this absurd, right? Although his own Lightweight Skill was exceptional, it was only good for high jumps or scaling walls. He wouldn’t even dare jump from the third floor, though leaping from the second floor wasn’t a big deal.

Just as his mind was swirling with complicated thoughts, the invisible man hoisted him up and started Jumping. Sticking close to the base of the walls and the side of the street, it only took a few leaps to cross the road. With another bound, the man began scaling the side of a building like an ape!

This building was much taller, seemingly over twenty stories high.

Before long, Lin Jian carried Xu Yunzong all the way to the roof. He collapsed onto his rear, gasping heavily for air! His entire body was drenched in sweat!

From the moment he engaged Xu Yunzong, he had gone all out. The high-intensity combat, Jumping, and sheer adrenaline had drained him completely! Lin Jian felt utterly exhausted!

Naturally, his Invisibility Skill wore off, revealing his figure!

With all four of his limbs dislocated, Xu Yunzong couldn’t move an inch and could only lie helplessly on the ground. But once Lin Jian appeared, he finally got a clear look at his attacker’s face.

Upon recognizing him, Xu Yunzong’s expression changed drastically! He had obviously seen a photo of his target—wasn’t it this exact young man?

"Are you here to kill me? Xu Yunzong? An Innate Seventh Grade martial artist?" Lin Jian asked directly.

"Young Master Lin, this is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding..." Xu Yunzong stammered, cold sweat dripping down his face.

Lin Jian shook his head. "Tell me the truth, and I’ll let you go. Lie to me, and I’ll throw you off this roof!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll talk! I just accepted the Jianghu Order and came over to take a look, just to take a look..."

Sweat poured down his forehead and soaked into his collar!

Lin Jian let out a sigh. After a moment of thought, he took off his short-sleeved shirt! Xu Yunzong had no idea what Lin Jian was trying to do!

Lin Jian squatted beside him and used the shirt to wipe Xu Yunzong’s face, both of his wrists, and his ankles. He then stood up and said, "Sorry, since you won’t tell the truth, I have no choice but to send you down!"

WHOOSH! THUD!

Lin Jian hooked his foot underneath the man and flipped him over the edge. With a terrified "AHHH!", Xu Yunzong plummeted from the roof.

A moment later, a sickening crash echoed from below, followed immediately by someone’s piercing scream!

Lin Jian looked around. Satisfied that he hadn’t left any traces behind, he quickly descended the back of the building using his Jumping.

A light drizzle had been falling intermittently all night, ensuring no evidence would be left behind.

A few minutes later, he returned to his car.

The moment he got in, the phone inside the car started ringing! In truth, it had been ringing non-stop; it was a call from Xu Fengbin.

Lin Jian picked up the phone. As soon as the call connected, Xu Fengbin asked in a deep voice, "Lin Jian?"

"Who else would it be? Xu Yunzong?"

PHEW.

Hearing Lin Jian’s voice, Xu Fengbin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, though he immediately asked in annoyance, "Why didn’t you answer the phone earlier? Is Xu Yunzong still there?"

"He’s gone," Lin Jian replied.

"Hmm? Did he leave or...?"

Lin Jian thought for a moment. "I shouted at him from downstairs earlier. He looked down from the rooftop, gasped in shock, and said, ’How can he be so handsome?’"

Xu Fengbin almost coughed up blood. He cursed internally, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting, you little bastard!"

However, a sudden chill ran down Xu Fengbin’s spine. There was a hidden meaning behind Lin Jian’s words. In the story Lin Jian had told him over the phone earlier, hadn’t he claimed that Young Master Chu and his lackeys had called him too handsome? And then all four of them had died!

So that meant...

Unaware of what Xu Fengbin was thinking, Lin Jian continued, "Then I saw the guy run up to the roof of the Shanghe Trade building opposite my neighborhood, looking utterly devastated. He was screaming, ’He’s too handsome! He’s so handsome I don’t even want to live anymore...’ And then he jumped off!"

Xu Fengbin fell completely silent. Beside him, Master Chen, Chen Zhiyuan, took a deep breath, while the driver, Qi, felt the muscles in his face twitch uncontrollably!

"Haha, Mr. Xu, when are you and Mr. Chen arriving? Should I book two rooms for you at the Shanghe Trade Hotel?"

"Go ahead and book them. See you at the Shanghe Trade Hotel!" Unfazed by the grim undertone, Xu Fengbin replied calmly before hanging up!

Lin Jian pulled out a cigarette, took a few drags, and then leisurely stepped out of the car to cross the street!
