Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Scared Silly, Right? _1
Xia Yu’s bewilderment was shared by Wan Yang.
The two bodyguards had been extremely skilled to start with, and even more so with the enhancement of the Power Pill, yet they stood no chance against Ye Ming, not even able to retaliate.
In the end, they met a grisly fate that made one’s blood run cold.
"Could he really be invincible?" Wan Yang said, dazed.
By now, Xia Yu had snapped out of her shock, and said fiercely, "Invincible my ass, stop spewing nonsense that saps our spirit and bolsters their arrogance!"
"There’s a limit to a person’s cultivation; he just used his trump card, so now he must be at the end of his rope, Master Liu, seize the opportunity and kill that bastard!"
Master Leu bared his teeth, clenching his fists, seething with anger.
He was not startled by Ye Ming’s skill, but rather aggrieved by his two wasted Elixirs, which had seen no use before their bearers’ demise. Had he known, he would have kept them for himself.
He cursed, "Ye Ming, you’re nothing but a beast, knowing full well they were no match for you, yet you still struck to kill, utterly ruthless!"
"You murdering fiend, I will make sure you die today!"
Ye Ming looked on indifferently and said, "They wanted to kill me, I merely protected myself from being killed by them!"
"But against you, I will not hesitate to strike."
Master Leu snorted, "Arrogant braggart!"
"I admit you have some skill, but with the Power Pill, I have reached the midst of the Earth Rank!"
"Beneath the Earth Rank, all are ants to me! I need only lift a finger to crush you to death!"
Master Leu was completely immersed in his own world, filled with a sense of contempt for all others.
He had exchanged blows with Ye Ming at the doorway earlier and had been frightened by what seemed like a casual palm strike from him.
He couldn’t fathom Ye Ming’s strength being so formidable.
But now, with the empowerment of the Power Pill, he had no reason to be afraid.
The reason he spoke so much was that he was getting accustomed to the changes brought by his Earth Rank’s cultivation level.
And at this moment, he had fully grasped the powerful force and was utterly confident that he could kill Ye Ming.
"Such blind self-confidence, truly pitiable," Ye Ming said, looking at him with detachment.
"You..." Master Leu’s eyes bulged with rage, "A man on the brink of death dares to spout such arrogance. Fine, let’s see how long you can keep it up! Soon you won’t even have the chance to kneel and beg for mercy!"
No longer able to suppress the fury inside him, Master Leu stomped on the floor, shattering it instantly, and his body shot towards Ye Ming like an arrow from a bow.
The distance between them closed rapidly, but Ye Ming remained unmoved, standing in place, facing him with an indifferent expression.
"Not getting out of the way is just asking for death!"
With a loud shout from Master Leu, he extended his hand toward Ye Ming’s heart.
Seeing this display of overwhelming momentum, Xia Yu finally felt reassured, a smug expression crossing her face.
"To not dodge now must mean he’s been scared stiff by Master Liu."
She seemed to already envision the scene of Ye Ming being struck dead, a smile gradually spreading across her face.
Xu Lele and Xia Ningning clenched their fists tight, watching Ye Ming anxiously, their faces filled with worry.
In the blink of an eye, Master Leu had reached Ye Ming, and their bodies collided with tremendous force.
A massive wave of energy burst forth, shattering all the glass items in the private room.
Ye Ming’s body remained stationary, while Master Leu staggered backward several steps, his face etched with shock.
He had not expected Ye Ming to possess such great ability.
Even though he had reached Earth Rank, his full-force attack was still blocked by Ye Ming, and the powerful recoil had pushed him away.
"How on earth did he manage that?" Master Liu’s heart began to tremble, and a terrifying thought sprung up in his mind, could it be that Ye Ming’s strength had reached Earth Rank?
However, fortunately, after reaching Earth Rank he had developed a True Qi Armor, so Ye Ming’s attacks hit the armor and did not cause him any substantial harm.
"You kid really have some skill, but even with all your strength, you won’t be able to break through my defenses!"
After pulling himself together, Master Liu restored his previously arrogant demeanor and said leisurely, "Now that I have True Qi Armor, your attacks can’t possibly penetrate! You’re merely wasting your effort!"
"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might let you die a little more gracefully, but if you continue to be so obstinate, your fate will be even more miserable than those two bodyguards you killed!"
Ye Ming showed a disdainful expression on his face.
In his eyes, True Qi Armor was hardly worth mentioning.
The skills he could comprehend after reaching Earth Rank had been learned by him long ago, and his Sky-shattering Stone Technique contained an even stronger True Qi Armor.
But he was too lazy to use that technique, as it would waste a huge amount of True Qi and have a negligible effect.
He disdainfully said, "If you put all your hope in True Qi Armor, then you’re not far from death!"
"In my eyes, True Qi Armor is useless!"
"Ha, boastful words! You’re still being stubborn with your dying breath. Watch my punch!" Master Liu bellowed, and continued his attack towards Ye Ming.
This time, his speed was a bit faster.
Ye Ming’s words had not been taken to heart by him at all; he simply thought Ye Ming was boasting and talking big.
He entrusted his defense to the True Qi Armor and completely disregarded his own safety when throwing punches, leaving many vulnerabilities.
Ye Ming quietly watched him, and just like before, stood still on the spot.
When Master Liu reached him, Ye Ming suddenly threw a punch, colliding with Master Liu’s fist.
After a dull thud, everyone clearly heard the sound of bones breaking.
Immediately afterward, Master Liu’s body, like a kite with its string cut, flew backward and smashed violently onto the box room table.
Bang!
Master Liu’s body instantly shattered the table.
He lay among the debris, his face filled with confusion.
With that punch, Ye Ming not only shattered Master Liu’s hand bones but also his True Qi Armor.
Now, he suffered severe injuries, with his internal organs violently shaken, causing him extreme pain.
At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to run!
This was the first time he had come so close to death, fear filled his entire being, causing him to completely give up on resisting and only wishing to flee from this place of trouble.
But by this time, Ye Ming’s figure had already appeared in his line of sight.
"In consideration of your position as the Xia Family’s retainer, I can spare your life!"
That single sentence made Master Liu feel as though he had gone from hell back to heaven.
But before he could feel relieved, he heard a sound of shattering.
His Dantian had been crushed by Ye Ming.
All his cultivation dissipated, thoroughly turning him into a cripple.
