One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

"How...how did you know?"

Xia He's voice suddenly turned cold, her previous seductive demeanor shattered.

But in just two seconds, she forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart and let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, so what if I know? That old Taoist priest won't even acknowledge me now, why should I care about him!"

As she spoke, she tried to put on that carefree and dissolute act again.

"Stop pretending, sister."

Ye Xing yawned. "You're only pushing people further away by doing this."

He took a step forward and looked directly into Xia He's eyes.

"No man can stand being cuckolded, whether it's dark green or light green."

Xia He's face turned green.

Her biggest weakness in this life is Zhang Lingyu. The more carefree she pretends to be, the emptier she feels inside.

Now, a stranger has ripped away her fig leaf in front of her, in the most blatant way.

Green hat...

These three words pierced Xia He's defenses like needles.

'Xia He has been detected to be extremely vulnerable and enraged, triggering a critical hit! Emotion value +100 points!'

The CPUs of Lü Liang and Liu Yanyan, who were standing next to them, burned out.

The two stared at each other, dumbfounded. What?! Xia He, the arrogant and ruthless "Bone-Scraping Knife," was having an affair with Zhang Lingyu, a top disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion?! Was this a joke?!

'Detected that Lü Liang has stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip, mood value +40!'

'Detected extreme shock in Liu Yanyan, emotion value +30!'

Ye Xing felt the soaring numbers in the system and almost burst out laughing. The drop rate for Quanxing executives was indeed higher than that of ordinary players! This was a huge profit!

Xia He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed her surging Qi. She stopped pretending and stared coldly at Ye Xing.

"Little Taoist priest, you came all this way in the middle of the night just to spout this nonsense to me?"

Xia He gritted her teeth, "What exactly do you want?"

"I've always been one to persuade people with reason."

Ye Xing pointed at Zhang Chulan, who was pretending to be dead on the ground.

“This kid and I hit it off immediately. He’s like a half-brother to me. I have to take him with me tonight.”

Then, he turned to look at Lü Liang.

"And you, Lü Liang, you should go to bed early. Zhang Chulan doesn't have any secrets you're looking for."

Lu Liang raised an eyebrow: "What makes you so sure?"

"Because I know more about his grandfather Zhang Huaiyi's messy affairs than he, his grandson, does."

Ye Xing shrugged. "The thought that all the efforts of the Quanxing sect only resulted in nothing makes your clownish behavior quite funny."

'Detected doubt and resentment among three members of the Quanxing faction; emotion value +60!'

Lu Liang pushed up his glasses and sneered, "Who do you think you are? You think you can just say you don't have anything and that's it? Do you really think that by crippling a few low-level fry, you can act all high and mighty in front of Sister Xia He?"

He raised both hands, and the Blue Bright Soul Technique condensed in his palms once more.

"If you want to take him away, you'll have to ask us if we agree!"

Negotiations broke down.

Ye Xing twisted his neck, and his bones cracked.

"Sister Bao'er," he called out without turning his head.

"What are you doing?" Feng Baobao asked blankly.

Throughout the entire process, Feng Baobao didn't interrupt or ask who Ye Xing was or what he wanted to do.

Based on Ye Xing's words and actions, and sensing the Qi emanating from him, Feng Baobao accepted that Ye Xing was on her side.

"That pink-haired woman is yours." Ye Xing pointed at Xia He.

"Don't go all out, just keep them occupied. I'll take care of the other two."

Following the gesture, Feng Baobao glanced at Xia He, then at Lü Liang and the other man who were eager to try, and nodded decisively.

"Have it."

The words had barely left his lips.

Feng Baobao stomped her right foot, and the concrete floor shattered! She transformed into a blur, brandishing her knife and heading straight for Xia He's face.

At the same second, the power of the Ox Talisman within Ye Xing's body suddenly erupted!

A terrifying force surged into his legs, and he became like a derailed heavy tank, carrying an unreasonable sense of oppression as he crashed directly into Lü Liang, whose face had changed drastically!

Chapter 10 The Seedling of Trouble—Shen Chong

"boom!"

A muffled thud exploded in front of the abandoned building.

Ye Xing's unreasonable starting speed plowed two shallow pits into the uneven cement ground.

The whole person was like a dump truck speeding at full speed, crushing over you with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Lu Liang was so frightened that his round-framed glasses almost flew off his nose. He staggered back, yelling like a pig being slaughtered, "Yan Yan! Stop him!"

Liu Yanyan flicked her purple hair, swiftly waved her hands, and suddenly raised them upwards: "Rise!"

Three tall, gray-skinned zombies leaped out from the shadows, forming a triangular shape to block the way.

These zombies had lifeless eyes, their withered claws tearing through the air as they headed straight for Ye Xing's face.

"This piece of junk?"

Ye Xing didn't slow down at all, and the power of the Ox Talisman was fully unleashed.

He met the zombie in the middle head-on with a Quanzhen punch!

"Crack!"

The walker's supposedly invulnerable sternum was as brittle as a moldy wafer and collapsed on the spot.

The massive body crashed onto the van like a kite with a broken string, the door dented into a human shape.

"Hey, hey, hey, non-mainstream girl, your Xiangxi corpse-transporting skills are way too rough, aren't they?"

Ye Xing swayed, grabbed the arm of another zombie with his backhand, and twisted it forcefully, dislocating one of the zombie's arms on the spot. He then casually started to mock it.

"Look at these bones! What a shoddy construction project! You've been so busy dyeing your hair that you haven't given your precious corpse any calcium? Or is this all the Liu family has left to do with their pathetic antics?"

Liu Yanyan was strictly controlled in her family. She finally managed to escape and wanted to show off her skills, but she had never suffered such humiliation. She was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.

'Detected extreme anger and self-doubt in Liu Yanyan, emotion value +50!'

While Ye Xing was dismantling the zombie, Lü Liang gritted his teeth and quickly rubbed his hands together to create a dense ball of blue energy, attempting to use the Soul Brightening Technique to sneak attack Ye Xing's soul.

Ye Xing stepped out with his left foot, made a hand seal with his right hand, and his true qi exploded in his palm, shattering the ball of blue qi into dust.

Then, he slapped Lü Liang hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

"Xiao Lü, I'm not trying to criticize you, but while the Soul Clarity Technique is useful, your physical condition is just too weak."

Ye Xing looked down at Lü Liang, who had been knocked to the ground, and shook his head condescendingly.

"You haven't mastered even a fraction of the Lu family's Ruyi Jin! Well, what good is a half-baked fugitive like you? You don't have time to practice the basics; you're always thinking about taking shortcuts."

"You fart!"

Lu Liang covered his swollen cheek, his eyes red with anger.

He hates it most when people bring up his escape from the Lü family; it's like dancing on his landmine.

'Detected intense shame and rage in Lü Liang, triggering a critical strike! Emotion value +80!'

Ye Xing gave the two of them no chance to catch their breath.

The monstrous strength of the Ox Talisman, combined with the solid foundation of the Quanzhen School, made defeating these two a pure case of overwhelming them.

After several powerful blows, Liu Yanyan was so badly slapped that she was completely disoriented.

Lu Liang was kicked in the stomach, and he was in so much pain that he was like a cooked shrimp, curled up on the ground and convulsing.

In just two minutes, the two men were completely rendered incapacitated.

"Tsk, boring."

Ye Xing dusted off his hands and was thinking about finding a rope to hang the two of them from the tree as well.

"Ta Tata..."

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the abandoned building.

Several black minivans had parked on the outskirts at some point, their glaring headlights illuminating the open space and brightening the surroundings.

Xu San, dressed in his signature suit with his hands in his pockets, quickly surrounded them with a dozen or so employees of NaDuTong.

"Cuff them and immediately seal their Qi acupoints."

Xu San gave the order without turning his head.

Several employees immediately stepped forward and used specially made handcuffs to lock Lü Liang and Liu Yanyan, completely sealing off their meridians.

On the other side, the sound of "bang bang" air blasts could be heard continuously.

The fight between Feng Baobao and Xia He had reached a fever pitch. Baobao's knife flashed with silver light, and every move was aimed at Xia He's vital points.

Xia He's figure was alluring, like a slippery pink eel. Although she was not at a disadvantage, she was forced into a corner by this reckless fighting style.

Xia He caught a glimpse of Lü Liang and his men being wiped out, and her anger flared.

Seizing the moment when Feng Baobao exerted too much force, she twisted her body strangely, and her right palm gathered a rich pink energy ball, bringing with it a fragrant breeze, and suddenly blasted it towards Feng Baobao's heart!
