Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Wanhua Valley Power Pill _1
His ferocious appearance made Xia Ningning somewhat afraid, yet at the same time, she felt a tinge of envy.
Before Xia Ningning could reply, Wan Yang, standing not far away, had already given an answer, "Ye Ming, could it be that you’re looking for this?"
"This must be very important to you, isn’t it?"
Ye Ming’s eyes widened, and the murderous aura he released instantly enveloped Wan Yang.
Wan Yang clearly sensed something; he had intended to use the Jade Pendant to threaten Ye Ming but, under the siege of the murderous aura, his mind went blank, not knowing what to do.
In the moment of his stupor, the Jade Pendant had vanished from his hand, effortlessly snatched away by Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was concerned about Xu Lele’s safety and did not care to squabble with Wan Yang; he only wanted to put the Jade Pendant back on Xu Lele as quickly as possible.
As the Jade Pendant returned to her, Ye Ming felt his own Life Essence continue to drain away.
Xu Lele, who had been pallid, seemed to ease a bit after a breath and opened her eyes.
Seeing Ye Ming, she forced a faint smile and comforted him, "Ye Ming, it’s okay, I’m fine!"
Xia Ningning felt deeply guilty; she had not expected that Xu Lele would be willing to sacrifice her life to lend her the Jade Pendant.
"It’s good that you’re okay," Ye Ming said with a bitter expression, speaking softly, "I’m sorry, I’m late!"
Xu Lele quickly shook her head, "I knew you would come."
Their conversation was interrupted by Xia Yu.
He said viciously, "Ye Ming, you’re a bastard. You’ve thwarted me time and again so don’t blame me for being merciless now!"
He was irate inside, seeing that his cunning plan was about to succeed, that everything was about to fall into his control.
He was on the verge of obtaining leverage over Xia Ningning, taking control of the entire Xia Family, and also easily claiming Xu Lele for himself when this critical moment was ruined by Ye Ming’s arrival.
Xia Yu’s repeated provocations had pushed him to the limit, fueling the rage in his heart.
"Master Liu, kill him immediately, no survivors!" he ordered.
Master Leu immediately nodded, his face showing a look of shame.
Failing to carry out the task entrusted to him was a blow to his pride, and his heart was already filled with the intent to kill Ye Ming.
Wan Yang was even more furious; he was about to succeed, almost having stripped Xia Ningning of her clothes, but then the situation went awry.
He said to his bodyguards: "You two, fully assist Master Leu in killing Ye Ming!"
The two bodyguards nodded in agreement.
Having just experienced the battle, the two bodyguards’ newfound confidence was instantaneously shattered, leaving them feeling helpless and restrained.
They hadn’t expected to be so utterly outclassed by Ye Ming, realizing that their initial success was entirely due to Master Leu’s power.
Master Leu was, of course, aware of their hesitation. To ensure a more secure kill of Ye Ming, Master Leu no longer concealed his trump card, fishing out his most treasured possession.
"You two, swallow this Herbal Pill and then lend me your strength!" he instructed.
The two of them were shocked the moment they received the Herbal Pill, hastily exclaiming, "It’s actually the Power Pill!"
Master Liu slowly nodded and said, "Correct, it’s the very Power Pill produced by Wanhua Valley, capable of enhancing your strength for a brief period of time. Although it’s only a few minutes, dealing with someone like Ye Ming is a piece of cake!"
The name of the Power Pill didn’t sound like any reputable Herbal Pill, but everyone in the martial world knew it was a rare treasure.
Once taken, one could temporarily elevate their level of cultivation and significantly boost their physical condition.
The two bodyguards were immensely grateful and quickly said, "Master Liu, we are willing to lend you a helping hand!"
Even though it would only be for a brief ten minutes, they were already completely satisfied to experience the sensation of advancement.
Master Liu slowly nodded with an indifferent gaze fixed upon Ye Ming, saying, "Lad, after our previous exchange, I’ve managed to get a good grasp of your abilities."
"To be at such a level at your young age is indeed admirable. If you weren’t my enemy, I would have actually considered taking you on as a disciple or at least making your acquaintance!"
"But you just had to blind yourself and become my enemy, so don’t blame me for not showing any courtesy. These Power Pills, I sought them years ago from Wanhua Valley; I wouldn’t be taking out such treasured possessions from the bottom of my chest if not for the sake of killing you!"
"So, Ye Ming, prepare to die!"
Ye Ming sneered, with his rage reaching its peak.
He said, "Even if you didn’t attack me, I would make sure you all died here! Not one of you is going to escape."
"Ha! Absurd to the extreme," Master Liu remarked. "Now that I have two assistants and the aid of the Power Pill, what makes you think you have the right to demand my death? You are not worthy!"
Master Liu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face brimming with confidence as if he had everything under control, not taking anyone seriously.
Seeing how he acted, Xia Ningning also felt a surge of anger, and she sternly glared at Master Liu, saying, "Master Liu, have you really decided to conspire with Xia Yu?"
"As a revered client of the Xia Family, you help Xia Yu against me. Have you truly disregarded me, not to mention my father? Do you understand the consequences of your actions?"
With a nonchalant smile, Master Liu replied, "Of course I understand the consequences, which is exactly why I chose to help the young master Xia against you."
"You are merely a woman; all said and done, your actions are like water that has been spilled. Even if you had great abilities, how could you change your own fate?"
On the surface, that’s what he said, but in reality, Master Liu pinned his hopes on Xia Yu.
He had long seen the situation clearly!
He knew that Xia Yu would silence Xia Ningning.
The Xia Family’s future would fall into Xia Yu’s hands.
Therefore, the current him worked tirelessly for Xia Yu, all to win his favor and carve out a position for himself in the Xia Family in the future.
Xia Ningning was so furious she couldn’t speak, her face flushing red.
Meanwhile, Xia Yu had already let out a laugh, taunting, "Xia Ningning, even now, do you still take yourself seriously? Do you really think all those below and above in the Xia Family respect you?"
"Before, they were merely superficially polite to you, giving you a bit of face. When it comes to matters of great importance, you mean nothing."
"Today, with the Wan Brothers here, you and he might as well turn the raw rice into cooked rice sooner rather than later, and that would be your final contribution to the Xia Family!"
Wan Yang immediately chimed in, "Right, Ningning, my love for you is deep and persistent, longing for you day and night, all for the arrival of this day. Come to me!"
