The Chief suffered a crushing defeat, and the morale of the brothers at the Poisonous Blade Society plummeted, feeling utterly disgraced; if even The Chief couldn't stand against him, who else could possibly defeat that damn kid?
At this moment, the most fearful and enraged was undoubtedly Zhao Ritian; he had pinned all his hopes on the Poisonous Snake of the Poisonous Blade Society, only to witness him fail to withstand even a single palm strike from Lin Yifan—his disappointment was profound, his resentment incessant.
"Fucking trash! So-called strongest in Guiyuan City, not even worth a pile of shit," Zhao Ritian cursed inwardly, knowing that if he couldn't kill Lin Yifan, he'd be the one getting taught a lesson. Just the thought of further humiliation by Lin Yifan made him seethe.
While some despaired, others rejoiced; seeing Lin Yifan injure the Poisonous Snake with a single palm strike, An Qi was elated, feeling a glimmer of hope for her rescue. However, she was unaware of the danger quietly approaching her.
The next moment, as Lin Yifan charged forward to continue his attack, Poisonous Snake took a quick step to An Qi's side, then with his fractured and bent poisonous claws seized her pale neck and threatened, "Stop! Take one more step, and I'll kill her!"
Lin Yifan abruptly halted in his tracks, daring not to disobey.
An Qi's life hung by a thread in the hands of Poisonous Snake, a mere scratch from his claws would infuse the poison into her bloodstream, spreading it throughout her body; soon after, An Qi would be poisoned to death. Moreover, with such long nails embedded in An Qi's neck, it was probable she would die instantly without the need for poison; hence, he dared not make the slightest rash move.
"To think the great Chief of the Poisonous Blade Society would resort to such threats, don't you feel ashamed?" Lin Yifan angrily asked.
"What's the use of face? Faces are meant to be sacrificed. As long as I can kill you, even the dirtiest tricks are fair game; so don't think provoking me will work, it's futile!" Poisonous Snake craftily responded.
"Motherfucker! Bitch!" Lin Yifan cursed furiously.
A woman was his lifeblood, and with Poisonous Snake seizing his woman, it was as if he held Lin Yifan's lifeblood, leaving him utterly helpless.
"That's right! I am a bitch!" Poisonous Snake said cheerfully, knowing he had grabbed Lin Yifan's weak spot; thus, he was extremely pleased.
"Yifan! Just run! Don't worry about me!" An Qi yelled.
She knew that if things continued this way, Lin Yifan would surely be killed by the men of the Poisonous Blade Society; so she pleaded and yelled for Lin Yifan to leave.
"You are Lin Yifan's woman, even if it costs me my life, I will rescue you," Lin Yifan replied earnestly and gravely.
Having come here, he had prepared for the worst.
"I'm not worth it! Sister Jiajia, and younger sister Qingqing, they all need you, you can't die," An Qi persuaded; she didn't want Lin Yifan to sacrifice his life for her.
"Without any one of you three, I will never be at peace, never be happy! That's why I have to stay," Lin Yifan answered seriously.
"Wow! This kid's quite the playboy, huh? Having so many women; and it seems each one's heart has been captured, neatly subdued by him, truly badass!" Poisonous Snake admired to himself, then changing his tone he said, "Too bad, too bad! You can't enjoy your good fortune!"
"Hmph! If you have any tricks up your sleeve, just bring it on! I'm all in," Lin Yifan retorted with a cold snort.
"Since it's like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless," Poisonous Snake said with a sinister look in his eye. He then commanded, "Stand right there, don't move; if you dare to stir even slightly, I'll kill your woman instantly."
"Fine! I won't move!" Lin Yifan stood still; he knew Poisonous Snake was about to play his trump card and thus he focused intently on every move Poisonous Snake made, ready to react in time.
Seeing Lin Yifan standing motionless, An Qi panicked, fearing for Lin Yifan's life at the hands of Poisonous Snake's subordinates or other attacks.
So she pleaded desperately, "Yifan! Run! Please run!"
Lin Yifan remained composed; he had made up his mind, no matter how An Qi tried to persuade him, he would not leave.
Poisonous Snake was worried that An Qi would choose to commit suicide in order to save Lin Yifan's life, so he seized the opportunity and made a swift move.
"Swoosh!"
Just like that, a black poisonous blade was thrown by him.
The blade was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of Lin Yifan in an instant.
Watching the scene unfold, Lin Yifan reacted quickly; using Witchcraft Palm, he blocked the black knife.
Seeing the small knife slowly falling in front of Lin Yifan, An Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought Lin Yifan would really remain indifferent, motionless, allowing Poisonous Snake to attack.
Yet, while happy, she felt a tinge of disappointment; because by doing this, Lin Yifan disregarded the danger to her own life.
Sometimes people are just contradictory, wanting him to move, but also wanting to see him remain still.
"Damn it, you traitor, going back on your word, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill this woman?" Poisonous Snake became angry, then tightened his grip on An Qi's neck with his right hand.
One could see claw marks on An Qi's neck, and it was believable that with just a bit more force, Poisonous Snake could easily pierce through her delicate skin.
Witnessing this, Lin Yifan grew nervous; he then responded, "Fine! I won't resist anymore, I'll do whatever you want."
"Pick up that black knife in front of your feet, then commit suicide! I'll give you half a minute to do it, if not completed, I will kill this woman," Poisonous Snake commanded and threatened.
He was furious, very angry, determined to put Lin Yifan to death.
Lin Yifan bent down slowly and picked up the black knife laced with deadly poison.
Last time, Zhen Jian threatened him with the same tactic to force suicide; he could trick Zhen Jian and counter-kill him; but this time it was different, Poisonous Snake's Realm was higher than his, and even if he exerted all his strength, he could not kill Poisonous Snake; therefore, he could not trick his way out, he only had the option of committing suicide.
Seeing Lin Yifan about to commit suicide, Zhao Ritian displayed a smug smile; this was the scene he wanted most, he wanted that bastard Lin Yifan to die.
On the other side, Poison Frog, Poisonous Scorpion, and the underlings of the Small Knife Gang all watched this scene with expectant eyes; they really wanted to see Lin Yifan commit suicide and die, then they would be without an enemy.
Seeing Lin Yifan about to use the small knife on himself, An Qi became anxious; thus, she tried to persuade him, "Yifan..."
But after only uttering two words, her mouth was covered by Poisonous Snake; obviously, Poisonous Snake didn't want her to talk and disturb Lin Yifan's resolve.
Lin Yifan picked up the black small knife, observing it closely in front of his eyes, hesitating to take action.
"Do I really have to commit suicide? Is there truly no other way?" he kept questioning himself internally.
He had too many concerns in his heart, and he really didn't want to die. Moreover, he had one more worry, the black pearl; the black pearl had saved him once, but it might not save him a second time; thus, he feared that if the knife pierced his body, he might truly die.
