"What?"
Ye Ming’s sudden remark not only caused Zhang Changyang to be slightly stunned but also left Lin ngdie completely dumbfounded.
However, when she saw Ye Ming’s serious deanor while he spoke and his tone, which was not at all joking, she imdiately felt a chill in her heart.
"Ye Ming, you bastard, you scum!" Lin ngdie’s eyes were red with anger as she cursed, "I must have been blind!"
Her face was etched with grievance, thinking about how she had fearlessly followed Ye Ming to face dangers, constantly concerned for his safety during battles, and now that she was the one in trouble, Ye Ming could actually say such things, deeming her life as worthless as grass.
Such a man was not worth it at all! He was no different from scoundrels like Liang Hao!
As Lin ngdie cursed Ye Ming in her heart, he was not idle either.
He pulled out a Golden Light Spell from his sleeve and, with the help of True Qi, snapped it out rapidly toward Zhang Changyang’s location.
Judging by the speed of the Charm, Zhang Changyang thought it was an attacking Charm, especially since he had just witnessed Wang Qing’s thods.
Fortunately, he had Lin ngdie in front of him to use as a human shield.
He imdiately shrank back behind Lin ngdie, pushing her body forward to block the incoming Charm, and said with a grin, "I knew you’d try this trick, thinking of using so despicable little tricks against . But I won’t fall for that!"
"Since you care so little for this woman’s life, then, I’ll send her on her way!"
Zhang Changyang cursed furiously, thinking Lin ngdie was his last bargaining chip, but he hadn’t expected Ye Ming to dismiss her life entirely.
If he was going to die, he needed to take soone down with him; at least he’d have company on the way to the underworld.
Thus, he began to exert force on his wrist, stabbing the dagger viciously toward Lin ngdie.
Just as the blade was about to touch Lin ngdie, suddenly, a burst of golden light shone forth, causing Zhang Changyang to be temporarily blinded.
His dagger, too, seed to hit a wall due to the excessive force, numbing his hand and slipping from his grasp.
"What’s going on? What is that thing?"
Zhang Changyang realized sothing was wrong and tried to salvage the situation, but it was too late.
As he bent down to pick up the dagger, Ye Ming reached him, and the Sword Qi ford from his True Qi pierced forward, severing his wrist cleanly.
Zhang Changyang didn’t even feel the slightest pain before seeing his hand fall to the ground.
"My hand! Ye Ming, you’ve got so nerve, to actually chop off my hand!" Zhang Changyang’s eyes bulged with the desire to retaliate, but his body was already lifted high by Ye Ming and then thrown away.
Before he could land, Ye Ming had already pursued, with the Sword Qi from his True Qi slashing at his body dozens of tis.
Intense pain cascaded through him, but Zhang Changyang could not muster any defensive technique, his only option was to watch helplessly as his body disintegrated piece by piece, falling to the ground, watching his own blood splatter everywhere.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his life before, and it was also the last ti he would ever experience it.
By the ti he hit the ground, he had beco a pile of minced at.
With his dying breath, the last thing Zhang Changyang heard was, "I hate it the most in my life when people threaten , especially using won to do so!"
It was a pity that he realized this far too late.
Ye Ming did not give him any chance to regret.
The consequence was similarly an unidentifiable corpse.
In an instant, the ground was a ss, a sight too ghastly to endure, with bodies strewn everywhere, blood was rampant, and not a single intact corpse remained.
Lin ngdie, still shaken, got up from the ground, touched her neck, then looked over her body, too surprised to speak coherently.
"What... What’s going on?"
Lin ngdie looked at Ye Ming bewildered, seeking an explanation.
Ye Ming smiled indifferently and said, "The Golden Light Spell, that’s what you usually call an Amulet."
Lin ngdie looked down and saw a golden Charm stuck to her stomach.
She carefully peeled off the Charm and pointed at it towards Ye Ming.
Ye Ming smiled again and said, "Right, it protected you. I put it on you just now."
"Your tongue is still there, you can speak."
After a while, Lin ngdie finally ca out of her shock.
She asked, "So, you’re saying that you never planned to abandon , and you just secretly stuck this amulet on ?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Zhang Changyang is quite skilled, and his temperant is very unstable. Under those circumstances, I was sure he would attack you, so I used a little reverse psychology, taking the opportunity to deal with him while he was distracted by attacking you."
Lin ngdie felt a wave of fear knowing how close the call had been.
But then, a wave of guilt surged in Lin ngdie’s heart. It seed she had misunderstood Ye Ming, lumping him in with scum like Liang Hao.
Embarrassed, she hung her head and said in a near whisper, "Thank you so much. I only spoke like that in a mont of panic. You won’t mind, will you?"
Ye Ming shook his head, "Of course not. Let’s go back. There’s no need for constant thanks between us."
Ye Ming returned her earlier words, saying, "We’re all people of the martial world, there’s no need for constant gratitude."
"It’s been a while. Let’s go back to the scene and see if there are any new stalls set up."
Having said that, Ye Ming turned and walked away. This minor incident couldn’t affect his more significant concerns; he had co to Jiangbei for the dicinal Materials Conference.
Although he had now acquired so precious dicinal materials, he still felt unsatisfied and wanted to go back for more treasures.
Before he had gone far, Lin ngdie had already caught up, pouting and saying, "You’re so amazing. Even with so many people from the orthodox sects joining forces, they couldn’t beat you. I said I would have to defeat you to call off the engagent, but now it seems I’ll never have that chance in my lifeti."
Ye Ming inwardly cursed at the trouble and quickly explained, "Miss Lin, you’ve misunderstood. Earlier, I was cornered with no way out, and it was only under the threat of death that I was forced to tap into my potential. As you know, the potential of a person is limitless."
"In a normal contest, I’m not that strong. The chances of you defeating are very high. Let’s have a try, and you’ll know."
Ye Ming was blathering in desperation, spouting complete nonsense.
"Really? I feel like you’re just talking nonsense," Lin ngdie didn’t believe a word Ye Ming said, voicing her skepticism.
