Desperate, Ying Mei abandoned his long saber and fished a dagger from his boot, ready to rush forward and fight to the death. The man in black behind him frowned slightly and kicked Ying Mei in the abdomen. With a pitiful cry, Ying Mei's body soared up like a cloud, drawing an arc in the sky, he plummeted down near the study where Xiao Qiang was.
Ying Mei tried to prop himself up from the ground despite the pain, but it felt like all his bones had come apart. As soon as he moved, blood spurted from his mouth. He knew that he was leagues apart from the man in black; just a casual kick had scattered his True Qi and dislocated his bones.
Gasping for breath, Ying Mei managed to raise his head, only to see the man in black carrying the fainted Zeng Guang inside. He then casually threw Zeng Guang on the grass in the courtyard, his indifference suggesting they were not very familiar.
Ying Mei's complexion turned ghastly, his voice hoarse with effort as he shouted, "Who the hell are you?"
