An eerie complexion, eyes filled with murderous intent.

He gave Ye Qiu a fierce glare...

"I'm fine!"

The recent events had clearly frightened Bai Lan quite a bit.

It wasn't until Ye Qiu walked over that Bai Lan came to her senses.

"Good that you're okay!"

Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief.

The man in black just now had a Western face; it's obvious he was from Blood Cross.

Ye Qiu never expected someone from Blood Cross would still dare challenge him at this time.

Cat over there probably already gave them quite a thrashing.

Yet surprisingly, they paid no heed and even targeted the people around him...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and a flame of anger rose in his heart.

Just as he was about to turn around and teach the man in black another lesson, a breeze suddenly blew past his ear.

"Hero, watch out!"

"Hey, young man, behind you..."

The surrounding people had already started screaming in panic!

Without their warnings, Ye Qiu also sensed something unusual behind him.

Suddenly, he turned around to see that the man in black, previously on the verge of death, had somehow stood up with a dagger in his hand, already lunging toward him.

Bam!

Ye Qiu punched out without hesitation.

His fingers slid through the dagger's point and firmly grasped it, then turned the dagger around, aiming it straight at the man in black's throat.

The man in black widened his eyes and hurriedly tried to retract his hand, only to find that the hand holding the dagger was no longer under his control.

A powerful force pushed the blade toward his jugular.

Although he panicked, he didn't lose his senses.

He threw his upper body sideways, dodging the fatal blow.

Suddenly, his left hand clenched into a fist, punching at Ye Qiu's chest.

"Cultivator! His strength isn't bad!"

Ye Qiu murmured to himself.

Unhurriedly, he withdrew his hands, directly heading toward the punch of the man in black.

The man in black wasn't stupid; he immediately saw the ferocity of Ye Qiu's strength within.

As their fists were about to collide, he quickly changed fist to palm, retracting his hand.

Only then did he narrowly avoid Ye Qiu's fierce punch.

Clatter!

The dagger fell directly to the ground.

After one round, the difference in strength was clear.

The man in black didn't look too good!

He initially thought this person was merely Bai Lan's bodyguard and didn't care much.

Seeing his features now, especially his bloodthirsty eyes in rage, the man in black suddenly realized.

"Demon King..."

He murmured to himself.

"Now that you know who I am, why don't you hurry and scram?"

In front of so many people, Ye Qiu didn't want to kill!

So, he planned to let this person off for now and deal with him later!

"Demon King, truly, Demon King! Their words are different! But you Huaxia people are still mere weaklings..."

Hearing Ye Qiu speak, the man in black didn't get angry but smiled, showing no intention of leaving...

He feared the Demon King, but he was unwilling to accept it.

In Blood Cross, his status wasn't low.

Failing a simple task like assassinating an unarmed woman, what face would he have to return?

Though facing Ye Qiu, his gaze had already shifted toward Bai Lan...

"Die!"

He shouted in a low voice and suddenly moved.

A rough fist carrying a gust of wind headed directly toward Ye Qiu.

This brutal move seemed aimed at Ye Qiu's weakness.

This forced Ye Qiu to defend!

Though he could fully take this strike head-on.

He couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any accidents!

He didn't want to risk it with his weakness!

Quickly, he dodged aside, stabilized his feet, prepared for the next strike from the man in black.

However, while dodging, he suddenly realized the man in black wasn't aiming at him!

A diversion tactic!

Ye Qiu was startled.

The man in black had merely feigned an attack, but his true target was Bai Lan behind him.

The fierce wind aimed directly at Bai Lan, lifting her locks...

"Watch out!"

"Damn, such a pity for such a beautiful girl!"

The crowd had started screaming openly.

They couldn't bear to witness such a brutal scene...

Bang!

The punch never landed!

Ye Qiu certainly wouldn't let such dirty fists stain Bai Lan's body...

In the blink of an eye, he was already behind the man in black.

The man in black hadn't reacted yet when he felt something tripped him, and the next moment, he flew forward, meeting the ground intimately.

"F*ck! I'll kill you all..."

The man in black, after falling, instantly became furious.

He wished he could tear Ye Qiu into pieces.

Enduring the intense pain in his body, he slowly got up, looking at Ye Qiu with even more brutality.

"Since you're forcing me, I won't be polite anymore!"

Ye Qiu couldn't suppress the fire burning within his heart anymore.

Why did these people keep reverting to their filthy nature?

Why were these people so despicable?

The anger burned fiercely, watching the staggering man in black approach again, Ye Qiu clenched his fists.

"I won't let you see tonight's moon!"

He shouted fiercely, his body disappearing from the spot instantly.

In the next second, he mysteriously appeared before the man in black.

With a fierce punch, he slammed it onto the man in black's head.

Instantly, a column of blood erupted.

A dark thing with hair flew away like a soccer ball.

The man in black's body was missing a most crucial part...

Everything happened in a flash.

Even as the man in black felt a sharp pain afterward, he hadn't realized what had transpired.

He could only sense his mind turning dark, then lost consciousness...

"Good!"

"Awesome!"

Ordinarily, anyone witnessing such a bloody scene might furrow their brow.

However, none present felt discomfort, nor did they feel it was cruel!

The primal wildness and fury suppressed for too long erupted in full rage when the man in black's head flew off.

Ye Qiu's face turned icy cold, wiping the blood off his hands with disdain.

Ring ring ring...

It was at this moment that Bai Lan's phone suddenly rang impatiently.

Perhaps frightened by the scenes earlier, Bai Lan took some time to react.

Hastily pressing the answer button.

Whatever was said on the other end of the call stunned Bai Lan halfway through.

Her complexion grew darker, paled miserably in moments!

"I... understand! I'll... rush back now!"

Bai Lan mechanically hung up the phone, unmoving in place.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

Seeing Bai Lan's face looking strange, Ye Qiu asked urgently.

"The company... there's trouble at the company..."

Bai Lan muttered blankly...
