“Yu Qin!!!” Jin Ye's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed over to support Yu Qin, who was about to fall.
“Lin Dong, I have no grievances with you. If we can't agree, we can at least part ways amicably. Why did you strike so ruthlessly?”
Although the blade didn't pierce her heart, with an Esper's formidable physique, she wouldn't die quickly, but it was still a very serious injury.
Lin Dong pursed his fingers, feeling the warm touch of blood on them.
“There were no grievances before, but now there are, aren't there?”
The moment he stabbed Yu Qin, her level above her head instantly changed from LV4 to LV6, then quickly changed back.
Interesting. This woman has a secret!
It just so happens that I love exploring other people's secrets the most.
Whether it's in their mind or their garden.
Jin Ye: “You!!! Do you really think my Yong Village has no one left? Someone!”
No one responded.
Jin Ye's face turned pale, and he raised his voice, shouting angrily, “Is anyone there? Where did everyone go?”
Finally, a subordinate ran in, trembling. Upon seeing Yu Qin's tragic state, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately said anxiously, “Jin Ye, those people from Tianhu Residential District have returned!
Liu Gang and the others have already led people to meet them.”
“What?” Jin Ye’s expression changed drastically. Why were all the bad things happening at once?
“Who is leading them?”
“It’s a middle-aged man. According to him, he’s the brother of that bespectacled man from earlier!”
“Gao Qiang?”
Jin Ye instantly hesitated. Gao Qiang was definitely there to avenge his brother. Now that Yu Qin was seriously injured, he would have to take over, but Lin Dong was still in the room.
What to do?
Lin Dong smiled faintly, “Jin Ye, aren’t you going over there? Be careful, your subordinates might all be killed~”
He then stomped on Yu Qin's right leg, breaking it, causing her pretty face to turn deathly pale from pain.
The meaning was clear: you can go out, but this woman stays with me!
Jin Ye gritted his teeth, almost breaking them, and finally struggled to say, “Lin Dong, let's talk this over. After I deal with Gao Qiang and the others, we can come back and chat!”
After speaking, he left with his bewildered subordinate.
Lin Dong squatted down, closely examining Yu Qin's perfect face, and reached out to pinch her chin.
Yu Qin's face was cold as she dodged, “Take your dirty hands off me!”
“Heh? You've got thorns, do you!” Lin Dong smirked mischievously, suddenly reaching out and grabbing something soft.
“You!!!” Yu Qin was both embarrassed and annoyed, gritting her silver teeth, wishing she could glare Lin Dong to death.
“Let’s go, time to watch the show~” Lin Dong grabbed Yu Qin’s hair, leaped up, and jumped out of the window.
He ultimately returned to Zhong Xiu's room, which was closest to the village entrance, with a relatively concealed window and a good view.
Lin Dong chuckled as he pressed Yu Qin against the windowsill, stabbing a knife into her shoulder blade, effectively nailing her alive to the windowsill.
With two holes pierced through her, Yu Qin grimaced in pain but bravely gritted her teeth, not uttering a sound.
Watching her back tremble violently, Lin Dong slowly leaned closer, whispering into her ear, “This way, watching the show feels more… immersive~”
Yu Qin:!!!
This is a devil!!!
Rip~
Yu Qin's eyes instantly widened.
At the entrance of Yong Village, a short, ordinary-looking middle-aged man, with bloodshot eyes, squatted on the ground, slowly stroking the bespectacled man's head.
“Xiaosheng, no matter who killed you, I will make their entire village accompany you to your grave!”
This time, he brought over a hundred black-clad subordinates, with the two leaders being a pair of twin brothers, both strong and imposing.
Moreover, both brothers were Level 3 Espers, stronger than the previous Wang Pangzi, and they were pushing Liu Gang and another of Jin Ye's enforcers back, leaving them injured.
Jin Ye finally arrived, and seeing his people suffering heavy casualties, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
“Stop! Everyone, stop!”
However, the people from Tianhu Residential District didn't listen to him; they fought even more fiercely.
“I said!!! Stop!!!” Jin Ye roared, and a powerful aura erupted, instantly pushing everyone back two steps.
The chaotic battle finally paused.
Gao Qiang, tears streaming down his face, closed his brother's eyes, then looked up, staring intently at Jin Ye.
He was also LV4.
Under Gao Qiang's hateful gaze, even Jin Ye, who had seen much, felt his heart skip a beat.
“Gao Qiang, your brother's death was indeed caused by my people, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. You are also a person of standing. If you bring people to bloodbath my Yong Village, be careful of both sides suffering heavy losses!
How about this, let's both take a step back. I'll take responsibility and compensate you with 20 cases of mineral water and 20 cases of instant noodles. You take your people and leave.
From now on, we'll mind our own business, how about it?”
The subordinates all showed expressions of craving.
Before the apocalypse, these things were certainly not worth mentioning, but this was the apocalypse. Half a pack of instant noodles could get you a good-looking woman, and a bottle of mineral water could probably get you a female celebrity, right?
However, Gao Qiang stared at him intently, not saying a word.
Jin Ye frowned, “Still not satisfied? Then I’ll make the decision, add two packs of ham sausage. This is already the biggest concession I can make for compensation. If you’re still not satisfied, then let’s go all out!”
“Compensation?” Gao Qiang's voice was low, and a gentle breeze began to blow at the village entrance.
“You old scoundrel only know about compensation! My brother is dead, and I have no heart to question right or wrong.
Today, either I slaughter Yong Village, or I die!”
He then spread his hands, and the wind power surged, blowing up the accumulated snow on the ground.
The people of Yong Village scattered in fear, but many were still touched by the blowing snow and were terrified.
Lin Dong's body trembled as he nodded, “Wind-type Esper? The bigger the wind and waves… the more expensive the fish?”
Jin Ye's expression changed, and he suddenly clasped his hands together.
The withered trees around, which had long been frozen to death by the low temperatures, suddenly came back to life, growing vines that stretched out, attacking Gao Qiang.
The battle resumed.
Gao Qiang raised his hand and unleashed several wind blades, cutting the vines.
The two sides exchanged blows, and for a time, the outcome was unclear, with firewood scattered all over the ground.
But the people of Yong Village suffered, especially Liu Gang and the other enforcer.
The twin brothers not only looked alike, but their abilities were equally formidable. The elder brother grew dragon scales on his body, and his hands transformed into dragon claws.
The younger brother grew tiger stripes on his face, and his fleshy paws were equally powerful.
“Xiaohu! Quickly deal with them and go help Brother Qiang!” Xiaolong opened his mouth wide, letting out a dragon's roar, and Liu Gang was immediately dazed.
In an Esper duel, one mistake is enough to be fatal. Xiaolong quickly charged forward, his dragon claws slashing across Liu Gang's head, splitting him into four pieces on the spot.
Xiaohu also let out a tiger's roar and struck with a palm, causing the other enforcer's body to explode.
At this point, among Jin Ye's four great enforcers, only Yu Qin, who was in excruciating pain, remained.
The situation was one-sided, and Jin Ye was frantic, launching various vine attacks non-stop.
But Gao Qiang was even crazier than him.
“Roar!!!”
A dragon's roar and a tiger's roar erupted simultaneously, momentarily stunning Jin Ye. Gao Qiang seized the opportunity to quickly charge in, his wind blade striking Jin Ye's arm.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, and Jin Ye cried out in pain as he retreated.
