Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Still One-Shotted _1
"You two bastards will pay for this one day."
Xia Ningning panted angrily, pointing at Wan Yang and said, "Don’t even dream about it. Even if I die, I would never yield to you. Drop that fantasy right now!"
Wan Yang, undaunted, smiled and replied, "We’ll see just how determined Miss Xia is to die. I control the situation now; you are like a turtle trapped in a jar, unable to escape the palm of my hand!"
The more stubborn Xia Ningning was, the more Wan Yang itched with anticipation, hardly able to contain his desire to possess her.
The only thing left to do was to eliminate Ye Ming, the troublemaker.
Wan Yang shouted, "What are you two waiting for? Get moving, and remember to be ruthless!"
Xia Yu was equally desperate, wanting to claim Xu Lele for himself. He said to Master Leu, "It’s all up to you now, Master Leu!"
With communication already futile, Xia Ningning’s face showed distress as she took it upon herself to shield Ye Ming and Xu Lele.
She said to Ye Ming, "You take Lele and go, leave this place! They wouldn’t dare kill me no matter what; I’ll hold them off for you!"
Given the three-against-one situation, Xia Ningning feared Ye Ming might not be a match, hence her actions.
She didn’t want to involve innocent people in her family’s disputes and was prepared to sacrifice herself.
Master Leu stared coldly at Ye Ming, challenging him, "Hey Ye, why so silent? Scared by us? Can it be that a man like you would hide behind a woman and be a coward?"
Ye Ming remained quiet because he was transferring Life Essence to Xu Lele.
The departure of the Jade Pendant from Xu Lele’s body had caused her previously stable injuries to relapse, with the situation now even worse than before.
Thanks to his efforts, Xu Lele was no longer in critical danger and the Life Chain between them had also stabilized once more.
After finishing all this, Ye Ming finally said, "I just let you talk a little longer before dying, because soon, you’ll never open your mouths again!"
"Miss Xia, please take care of Lele for me; I’ll handle the rest!"
"But..." Xia Ningning was about to refuse when she saw the resolve in Ye Ming’s eyes; a sudden, inexplicable sense of security rose in her heart.
Xu Lele showed a confident smile, took Xia Ningning’s hand and said, "It’s okay, Ningning, leave everything to Ye Ming now; he’s got this."
Having gone through so many life-and-death situations, Xu Lele had absolute trust in Ye Ming.
If Ye Ming wasn’t the match, then they would die together.
Xu Lele had long ceased to regard life and death with concern.
Master Leu popped an Herbal Pill into his mouth, and instructed the other two bodyguards, "Take the Herbal Pill, let’s get ready to make a move!"
The two bodyguards had been eager to act and at Master Leu’s command, they immediately swallowed the Herbal Pill.
In the blink of an eye, they felt an immense power surging within them.
Their muscles swelled, and the True Qi within their bodies increased exponentially, briefly promoting them to the realm of a Great Grandmaster.
Master Leu, already at the Great Grandmaster rank, experienced dramatic transformation after taking the Herbal Pill, advancing to Earth Rank.
His eyes widened in exhilaration as he felt the changes within his body.
Advancement was his long-sought dream, and now at Earth Rank, he perceived a new understanding and could distinctly sense his body growing stronger.
"Haha, these Power Pills are truly marvelous! When I get to Wanhua Valley, I must ask for a few more!"
From his reaction, it appeared he had taken Power Pills for the first time and was astounded by the benefits they offered.
Once the full effect of the Power Pill had been absorbed, Master Leu, eager to lead the charge, made the first move against Ye Ming.
The two bodyguards naturally refused to be left behind and launched a full-on attack on Ye Ming.
The three of them formed an encirclement, trapping Ye Ming in their midst, leaving his back exposed to the other two no matter which one he faced.
Seeing the situation turn favorable, Wan Yang had already started rubbing his hands together, preparing to make a move on Xia Ningning.
With a stomp of his foot, Ye Ming had no intention of sitting and waiting for death. Instead, he struck first, ignoring Master Leu and charging straight at the two bodyguards.
"Hmph, overestimating himself!" The two bodyguards were not afraid at all and each extended a hand to strike a palm blow towards Ye Ming’s chest.
Just as they were about to collide, Ye Ming suddenly swung his hand wide, his True Qi already coalescing, summoning two Sword Qi strikes.
"It’s that Sword Qi again, we must be careful!"
The two bodyguards had witnessed the power of that Sword Qi with their own eyes and had some trepidation in their hearts.
In their moment of hesitation, the Sword Qi had already sliced across both of their arms.
Without any resistance, the Sword Qi cleanly severed the arms of the two men, not even giving them a chance to feel the pain.
"We’ve been careless!"
One of the bodyguards, angrily enduring the pain, tried to attack Ye Ming using his leg techniques.
Ye Ming didn’t change his method of attack and still used the Sword Qi to sever the opponent’s leg.
With a thud, the bodyguard, now with only one leg, could no longer support his body and crashed to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he had lost an arm and a leg, a result he simply could not accept, no matter what.
It wasn’t long before the agonizing pain attacked him, making him cry out involuntarily.
Ye Ming furrowed his brows, finding him bothersome, and gifted him another Sword Qi.
Whoosh!
The bodyguard was ultimately bisected at the waist, cut into two sections, with crimson blood immediately staining the floor.
The fate of the other bodyguard wasn’t much better either.
After seeing Ye Ming’s actions, the confidence that had just risen in him was instantly shattered, leaving none behind; he even began to feel the urge to flee.
Ye Ming wasn’t about to give him such an opportunity. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared in front of him.
"Where do you think you’re going?" Ye Ming asked coldly.
"I..."
The bodyguard had barely opened his mouth and uttered a single word when his body suddenly shook violently, then he slowly fell to the ground, his body also severed into two.
"How could this happen?" Wan Yang watched in stupefaction, his body suddenly petrified, his voice trembling as he spoke.
His two bodyguards had been killed in an instant without even a chance to struggle.
After all, both were the Wan Family’s esteemed experts, having followed Wan Yang for many years and rarely met their match.
Yet in front of Ye Ming, they were like minor thugs, slain at Ye Ming’s whim.
The bloody scene also caused Xia Yu to tremble with fear, inhaling sharply.
He said tremulously, "Didn’t they take the Power Pills? Why were they so easily defeated? What went wrong?"
