Chapter 60

There was a long alley ahead. Ye Lingyue ran to the end and stopped, and she saw two men smiled menacingly as they approached her.

“Why are you following me?” Ye Lingyue pretended to be afraid.

“Why? Little girl, who asked you to offend someone you shouldn’t have.”

The Song family had ties with the Shanhai Gang in the city. Song Guangyi wanted to find someone to get rid of Ye Lingyue, so he sought help from the young leader of Shanhai Gang in Glass City and gave him a picture of Ye Lingyue. He asked him to get rid of her.

The young leader of the gang assigned Ba Sanquan, who was at the sixth level of body tempering, to be in charge of it.

Ba Sanquan had been roaming around the city for a few days. Since people from the manor constantly accompanied Ye Lingyue whenever she went out, he could not find a chance to carry out the plan.

Ba Sanquan had a sworn brother, and he was the fat merchant who had planned to blackmail the woman in red using the hundred-year aloes.

The fat merchant’s surname was Chen. In Glass City, he was a well-known dishonest merchant and people called him Fatty Chen.

Ba Sanquan, on the other hand, was the elder sworn brother of Fatty Chen and a scoundrel in Glass City. Fatty Chen, relying on his relationship with his sworn elder brother, secretly colluded with the Shanhai Gang to do things like robbing traveling merchants.

After killing people and robbing the hundred-year aloes, they wanted to make a fortune through it. But who knew that when they were about to scam the woman in red, she suddenly changed her mind; hence, they could only take the aloes back. The two of them had put in so much effort in it that it made them furious.

They bumped into Ye Lingyue just when they were in a fit of anger. Recognizing her as the woman the young leader was looking for, they were ecstatic.

“Big Brother, this girl is so fair and delicate. Let me have a delightful time with her first before selling her to Brothel.” Fatty Chen saw Ye Lingyue’s beautiful face, and he immediately had a lewd expression on his face.

The leader mentioned that the young lady of the Ye family was only at the fifth level of body tempering. With Fatty Chen, Ba Sanquan could take her down in two or three moves.

“You’re impatient. But we’ll just do as you say. I’ll keep watch outside and won’t let anyone in. Do whatever you want, but remember, don’t torture her to death.” Ba Sanquan laughed and walked to the entrance of the alley to stand guard.

Fatty Chen was also at the fifth level of body tempering. But since he was a man, it would be easy for him to get rid of a little girl who was visiting the city for the first time.

Fatty Chen approached Ye Lingyue step by step.

But at that moment, he noticed a strange smile on Ye Lingyue’s lips.

A cold flash of light flashed in the middle of the air and something stabbed towards his face.

At the entrance of the alley, Ba Sanquan heard Fatty Chen’s scream. Looking into the alley, he saw that Fatty Chen’s left hand had been cut off.

“Fatty, what’s the situation?” Ba Sanquan looked at Ye Lingyue again, only to find that she did not look as afraid as before. Beside her, a dagger was suspended in mid-air and it looked very strange.

“This woman attacked me!” Since Fatty Chen’s mind was full of lust, Ye Lingyue’s dagger attacked him. It had cut his left hand off, which left him in pain and fury.

Ba Sanquan threw a bottle of healing elixir to Fatty Chen to stop his bleeding.

“Big Brother, let’s cut this girl into pieces.” Fatty Chen wanted to kill Ye Lingyue at that moment. Though he was fat, he was flexible and was a fifth level body tempering martial arts practitioner.

They attacked at the same time, jumping up and using their moves, wanting to take out Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue frowned and the flying dagger moved like a snake.

‘Whoosh!’ It flew past Fatty Chen’s head and Fatty Chen shrank his neck. He could feel a cold sensation on the top of his head, and it turned out that the dagger had sliced his hair off.

What a powerful flying dagger! If he had been slow to avoid it, it would have cut his head off.

The flying dagger could fight against two people with ease. Moving back and then forward, it prevented Fatty Chen and Ba Sanquan from getting close to Ye Lingyue.

Ba Sanquan also saw that the flying dagger was extraordinary. His eyes darkened slightly and there was a crackling sound coming from his right palm. A layer of elementary force that flickered like a flame covered his palm, too.

Flame Fist was one of the basic martial arts skills Ba Sanquan had. In his early years in the Glass City, he relied on Flame Fist and killed people without having to throw out three punches.

A fierce flame attacked the flying dagger.

The fire made up of elementary force trapped the flying dagger. It struggled in mid-air and its attack weakened a lot. Ba Sanquan was like an eagle as he dashed towards Ye Lingyue with a punch.

“You’re seeking death.” Ye Lingyue clicked her tongue. Her eyes turned cold and with a wave of a hand, she gave the flying dagger a killing order. The flying dagger stabbed Fatty Chen’s heart and got rid of him first.

At the same time, her fingers turned into claws and she turned them towards Ba Sanquan.

Type eight martial arts skill, Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade.

Ba Sanquan felt that a powerful force had trapped his fists. It also seemed to suck him in. The elementary force flame in his fist disappeared almost immediately.

Ba Sanquan was like a chick preyed on by an eagle. Ye Lingyue caught him by the hand and her powerful elementary force kept him from moving.

A crack resounded and Ba Sanquan’s arms broke into pieces. Then there were several more cracks and Ba Sanquan suddenly kneeled on the ground, having no power to fight back.

How could she be at the fifth level of body tempering with such skills?

She should be at the seventh or eighth level of body tempering.

Looking at Fatty Chen, who was swimming in a pool of blood, Ba Sanquan had no power to fight back. He knew now that the delicate-looking young lady of the Ye family was so vicious. Who was the real bully these days?

“Tell me, who sent you?” Ye Lingyue kicked Ba Sanquan’s back and he did not know which acupoint she had hit because his entire body twitched in pain.

“No one sent me.” Ba Sanquan was strong-willed and refused to disclose the person behind their scheme. “If you can, then kill me.”

His threat did not intimidate Ye Lingyue. She walked next to the dead Fatty Chen. After pulling out the flying dagger from him, she took out a medicine bottle.

She poured out a small amount of liquid, and in a moment, Fatty Chen’s body disintegrated at a fast speed. His body turned into a pool of foul water, leaving only his bag behind.

“You saw that? If you won’t tell me, you will end up like him.”

Ba Sanquan sucked in a breath. He was also a dangerous man, but he had never seen such vicious methods. In his eyes, Ye Lingyue was even scarier than the devil.

“I’ll say it. I’ll say it all. It’s the Young Master of the Song family, Song Guanyi, from Autumn Maple Town who asked me to do it. He is friends with our young master and asked him to kill you. You better be wise and spare my life, otherwise, our young master who is a Postnatal master won’t let you off. He is a Postnatal master.” Ba Sanquan thought that Ye Lingyue would be afraid once she heard the Shanhai Gang leader’s name and let him go.

Who knew that Ye Lingyue would raise her hand and swing the dagger down.

“Didn’t you say you won⁠—”

“I didn’t say that I will let you go if you told me.”

After hearing her last words before his death, Ba Sanquan’s body fell limply towards the ground.
