Bai Yujing looked at Master Du’e, his eyes blazing with fury.
You didn’t capture him, yet you say the debt is repaid and we owe each other nothing, have you no shame?
You old bald donkey, may you meet a bad end!
Bai Yujing cursed inwardly.
Master Du’e glanced at Bai Yujing, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Benefactor Bai, this old monk wishes to offer you a word of advice, it’s better to resolve grudges than to deepen them.”
“Chixiao is one of the ten legendary swords, in ancient times, only emperors were worthy of wielding it.”
“Benefactor Ye is blessed with great fortune, making an enemy of him isn’t a wise choice.”
Bai Yujing raised an eyebrow, displeased, “Master, what do you mean? Are you trying to tell me what to do?”
“Benefactor Bai, this old monk…”
“Enough!” Before Master Du’e could finish, Bai Yujing cut him off rudely, “How I handle my affairs isn’t for others to dictate.”
Master Du’e shook his head and sighed, “Benefactor Bai, I hope you take care of yourself.”
With that, Master Du’e quickly stepped over to Ye Qiu, whispering, “Benefactor Bai didn’t just invite me alone, Benefactor Ye, you must be cautious.”
Bai Yujing invited others too?
Who could it be?
Another master from the Dragon List, perhaps?
Ye Qiu said gratefully, “Thank you for the warning, Master.”
“Benefactor Ye, after you’ve dealt with your current matters, could this old monk have a chat with you?”
“Of course.”
Seeing Ye Qiu agree, a smile appeared on Master Du’e’s face, then he stepped aside.
Ye Qiu took a step forward, gripping the Emperor’s Sword, pointing it at Bai Yujing and shouting, “Bai Yujing, I hear you’ve invited others?”
“Call them out now!”
“Otherwise, you’ll be dead under my sword in no time.”
Bai Yujing glared coldly at Master Du’e, cursing in his heart.
“You dead bald donkey, you actually told Ye Qiu I invited others, aren’t you deliberately working against me?”
“Just you wait, once I take down Ye Qiu, I’ll come for you next.”
“And that old sod Longbrow too, none of you are leaving here alive today.”
Facing the murderous Ye Qiu, Bai Yujing showed no fear, his voice icy, “Ye Qiu, you barged into my home uninvited and caused havoc, just that alone is enough to charge you with trespassing.”
“What’s more, in front of all these guests, you’ve disregarded the law, acted violently and harmed others, your actions are utterly deplorable, truly reckless.”
“With these two points alone, I could have you locked up for life…”
*Slap!*
Before Bai Yujing could finish, Ye Qiu sent him flying with a slap.
“I told you to call your people out, and you’re still yammering at me, are you a bloody woman or what?”
Bai Yujing hit the ground, his face twisted with rage as he glared at Ye Qiu, “Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish.”
“Get him.”
*Swish, swish, swish, swish*
Four men in black swiftly emerged from the villa, surrounding Ye Qiu.
They were around forty years old, with short hair, each clutching a gleaming dagger.
From the moment they appeared, their eyes locked onto Ye Qiu, never wavering.
Their faces were expressionless, like cold-blooded creatures without emotion.
Ye Qiu’s heart tightened, he could sense a thick aura of killing intent radiating from these four.
In other words, their hands were stained with plenty of blood.
Bai Yujing got up from the ground, his eyes fixed on Ye Qiu with a chilling stare, “From the moment you decided to come to the capital, you’d already set foot on a path of no return.”
“I just didn’t expect that neither Jun Dao nor Leng Xue could kill you, even Cao Tianding fell by your hand.”
“Your strength has genuinely surprised me.”
“But that changes nothing.”
“Today, you will die.”
Bai Yujing then turned to Bai Bing, sneering darkly, “Don’t you love this man? Fine, today I’ll slaughter him right in front of you, crushing your hopes once and for all.”
Bai Bing shouted fiercely, “Bai Yujing, if you dare harm Ye Qiu, I won’t let you off even as a ghost.”
“Then we’ll talk when you’re a ghost,” Bai Yujing said, “Once I’ve dealt with Ye Qiu, if you still refuse to marry Pei Jie, I’ll personally send you to the underworld to reunite with your parents.”
At this, shock flickered in the guests’ eyes.
“Young Master Bai is ruthless, he’d even kill his own cousin.”
“What’s that? In wealthy families, fathers turn against sons, siblings kill each other, it’s hardly rare.”
“Today’s events are all because of Bai Bing, Young Master Bai must hate her guts.”
“…”
Ye Qiu laughed coldly, “Bai Yujing, I took down Cao Tianding, and you think these four losers can kill me?”
“Don’t get cocky, you’ll soon see what they’re capable of, attack!”
With Bai Yujing’s command, the four men in black launched their assault on Ye Qiu simultaneously.
They attacked from all directions—north, south, east, and west—their daggers aimed straight for Ye Qiu’s vital points.
Ye Qiu swung his sword in retaliation.
The battle erupted once more.
It had to be said, these four were indeed formidable, each one’s strength was impressive, no less than Qilin at his peak.
Most crucially, their combined attack was seamless, flawless coordination.
After three minutes of fighting.
Ye Qiu, using his lightning-fast speed, finally managed to wound one with his sword, he was about to finish him off when the other three blocked him, resuming their encirclement.
And that wasn’t even the worst of it.
What troubled Ye Qiu most was their reckless, life-or-death fighting style, the one he’d stabbed was gravely injured yet acted as if he felt nothing, charging at him again.
Meanwhile, the other three abandoned all defence, attacking with utter disregard for their lives.
It clicked for Ye Qiu.
“No wonder Bai Yujing has such faith in these four, they’re death warriors he’s groomed.”
So-called death warriors were fighters willing to lay down their lives for their master.
“Good thing I ate the Blood Bodhi and gained ten years of power, otherwise, these four might’ve seriously injured me.”
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes, his speed suddenly surged, he darted between the four, slashing out four consecutive strikes.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Four piercing screams rang out.
Then, the four men were sent flying, crashing to the ground, motionless, their fate unknown.
“Bai Yujing, got any more helpers? If not, prepare to die!”
With that, Ye Qiu leapt into the air, aiming a mid-air kick at Bai Yujing.
If this kick landed, Bai Yujing’s face would become a wreck worse than Xiao Qingdi’s car crash scene.
As Ye Qiu’s foot closed in, just twenty centimetres from Bai Yujing’s face, a deep voice suddenly boomed:
“Stop!”
