134: I don't bully disabled people!

Veins bulged on Black Blind Man's forehead.

But he didn't move.

Because he could feel that Night Owl's undisguised killing intent was real; she was absolutely not joking.

If he dared to make the slightest move, the next second, blood would splatter on the spot!

After a long while, Black Blind Man slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his voice dry.

"Fine… fine!"

"Night Owl, you're ruthless!"

"I will deliver the message."

"But the consequences… you will bear them yourself!"

Having said that, he no longer lingered, turned around, and prepared to walk toward the restaurant entrance.

Night Owl sat back down in her chair, watching his back, her smile deepening.

Leave Black Prison?

She had wanted to do that for a long time!

Before, her strength wasn't enough, but now…

A peak Grandmaster, added to Ye Chen's bizarre "cultivation method," she even had the confidence to touch the threshold of the Yellow Tier in the short term!

By then, Black Prison?

It would be nothing!

She licked her somewhat dry lips.

Hmm…

That sensation of walking on the edge of losing control, yet gaining a surge in power in exchange…

It was truly addictive.

Just as Black Blind Man was about to walk out of the restaurant door, Night Owl asked abruptly: "Don't you want to consider staying as well?"

She remembered…

Ye Chen was short of help, so she would help him out and recruit more people.

Maybe if he was happy…

That guy would continue to help her improve?

Black Blind Man was stunned, his footsteps halting in place as he turned his head sharply.

"What? You want to recruit me for Ye Chen?"

Night Owl narrowed her eyes and said indifferently.

"It's not recruiting you for him."

"It's giving you a chance."

"A chance?" Upon hearing this, Black Blind Man couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter full of disdain, "I give up being a regional supervisor for Black Prison to work as an assistant for a young man? Night Owl, do you think I, Black Blind Man… am that stupid?"

Night Owl shrugged, leaning back slightly, resting against the chair back.

"Then you've been stuck at the early stage of Grandmaster for eight years, right?"

"Has Black Prison… allowed you to break through?"

Black Blind Man's laughter came to an abrupt halt, his expression suddenly darkening like the bottom of a pot.

This matter was his reverse scale!

For eight years, he had exhausted all means, executing countless dangerous missions to trade for resources, yet he had never been able to shake that barrier even half a step.

Night Owl's words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing into his most painful spot.

He snorted coldly, his tone grim: "Even if I can't break through for a lifetime, even if I jump off the highest cliff and fall into a pulp of meat, I will never become his, Ye Chen's, subordinate!"

"Don't speak too soon."

Night Owl's lips curled into a mocking arc, "If your tongue is too flexible, be careful that when the time comes… your face will hurt."

"What a joke!"

Black Blind Man sneered, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"Although I don't know why you would pledge loyalty to him, according to the information I have, he, Ye Chen…"

"Is nothing but a green kid at the Grandmaster level."

"A young man who hasn't amounted to much, is he worthy of making me strike?"

The moment Black Blind Man's voice fell—

"Hmm."

A calm voice came from the restaurant entrance, "Indeed, not worthy."

Everyone in the restaurant was stunned at the same time and subconsciously turned to look at the entrance.

They saw a young man wearing simple casual clothes, standing there who knows when, hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent.

Black Blind Man was startled.

He couldn't see people, but he could feel the aura emanating from a person.

But before the young man in front of him spoke, he actually hadn't noticed a thing…

He couldn't help but become vigilant, asking coldly: "Who are you???"

The young man had not yet spoken.

Yi Yue, in the kitchen, had her eyes light up, and she blurted out: "A-Chen, you're here?"

Ye Chen smiled gently at her, nodded, and then turned his gaze to Black Blind Man, whose expression had changed drastically.

"I am that 'young man who hasn't amounted to much' that you were talking about."

The skin behind Black Blind Man's sunglasses twitched fiercely, but his vigilant emotions dissipated.

"You are Ye Chen?"

"Heh… then you at least have some self-awareness."

He had originally thought some powerhouse had arrived, but it turned out to be a target destined to die…

"I was wrong." Ye Chen said suddenly.

Black Blind Man was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen walked slowly into the restaurant, brushed past Black Blind Man, and headed straight for Night Owl's table.

"What I mean is—"

"It is you who is unworthy of striking at me."

"I don't bully the disabled."

???

Black Blind Man was instantly furious, his entire face turning the color of pig liver!

These eyes of his had been blinded after suffering a backlash in his early years while practicing an extremely sinister "Soul-Absorbing Pupil Technique."

This was the pain of his life, and also the scar he most tabooed others from mentioning!

"You little beast… you're courting death!!!"

In a fit of rage, Black Blind Man no longer cared about any qi sensing, and the bamboo cane in his hand shook violently!

"Clang—!"

With a clear metallic ring, a section of soft sword, two feet long and as thin as a willow leaf, popped out from the tip of the bamboo cane.

The sword body shimmered with a deep blue, poison-dipped luster, cutting a cold arc through the air, heading straight for Ye Chen's throat!

Fast! Ruthless! Poisonous!

A Grandmaster's strike in anger, the momentum was astonishing!

Yi Yue and Xiaoya behind the counter were so frightened they let out gasps!

Night Owl, however, crossed her arms, leaning leisurely against the chair back, her lips even curling into an arc of watching a good show.

An overestimating fellow…

Even she couldn't beat Ye Chen, was he worthy?

Sure enough.

Facing this fierce sword strike, Ye Chen didn't even lift an eyelid.

He just casually raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together, meeting that deep blue sword light, and pinched it lightly.

"Ding."

A light sound, like pinching the seven-inch spot of a poisonous snake.

That sword blade was actually! Actually! Actually!

Steadily pinched by his two fingers, stopping three inches in front of his throat, unable to advance an inch further!

The poison light on the sword body flickered wildly, but it couldn't corrode those two fingers in the slightest!

Black Blind Man shuddered violently!

He felt as if his sword strike had pierced into a copper wall and iron fortress…

No!

It was like a clay ox entering the sea!

All the force vanished without a trace the moment it touched the other party's fingers!

What made him even more horrified was…

No matter how he channeled his internal energy, that sword was as if welded between the other party's fingers, not moving a single bit!

"You…"

Black Blind Man's face instantly turned from red to white, cold sweat soaking his back all at once.

How could this be?!

He was an early-stage Grandmaster!

His strike in anger was actually caught by the other party with two fingers… casually caught?!

"Not a bad sword."

Ye Chen commented indifferently, then his two fingers twisted slightly.

"Crack!"

That thin sword, like a fragile glass product, snapped in response at the point where it was pinched!

This strike was the Indestructible Vajra body from his inheritance.

Not only was it invulnerable to blades and guns, but it could also use hardness to overcome softness!

A mere sword… trivial matter!

In an instant, half of the sword blade fell to the ground.

Black Blind Man held the other half of the broken sword, his whole person frozen in place, as if under a immobilization spell.

Fear.

Unprecedented fear, like cold vines, instantly tightened around his heart!

"Now."

Ye Chen asked with one hand behind his back, nonchalantly.

"Do you still think I haven't amounted to much?"

"Do you still want to… take my head?"

Black Blind Man froze in place, cold sweat sliding down his temples, his face full of shock and fear.

So much so that… he couldn't say a single word.

His hand holding the half-broken sword was shaking violently.

The sword strike just now, he had unleashed it in anger, without reservation, and was even confident that even a mid-stage Grandmaster expert would never dare to take it head-on.

But Ye Chen…

Just used two fingers.

A casual pinch.

The sword snapped.

This had already exceeded his cognitive category of "strong"!

Night Owl crossed her legs, swinging her beautiful legs, and said gloatingly.

"I told you earlier."

"Ye Chen could let me break through from late-stage Grandmaster to the peak, do you think… he is an ordinary person?"

"I kindly pointed you to a bright path, but you didn't cherish it yourself."

"Stunned now, aren't you?"

Ye Chen glanced at Night Owl, a trace of peculiarity revealed in his eyes.

Good grief!

She really broke through?

It seems that last night's suggestion really worked…

But Black Blind Man's face instantly turned from white to green, then from green to black, and finally swelled into the color of pig liver, looking as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly alive.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Night Owl, and asked with some curiosity: "What chance?"

Night Owl shrugged, her tone casual, but carrying a bit of teasing.

"Didn't I see you were short of hands to use?"

"Although this blind man's eyes aren't good, and his brain occasionally goes on the fritz, he is quite efficient at getting things done. He manages an area in Black Prison, so he has some ability."

"I was thinking of poaching him to be an errand boy for you, and by the way… see if I could also mooch some benefits."

She glanced at Black Blind Man and sneered.

"Pity, his standards are high, he couldn't look up to you."

"He thought you were just a 'young man who hasn't amounted to much' and not worthy of his service."

Ye Chen realized, nodded.

He looked back at the aggrieved Black Blind Man and smiled playfully.

"So that's it."

"Then now…"

"I will give you one more chance to choose."

"Stay and work for me."

"Or…"

Ye Chen paused, his eyes narrowing.

"Take your half-broken sword and go back to tell Black Prison."

"I, Ye Chen, welcome them to come find me at any time."

"But the next time they come, they had better bring a few more coffins, otherwise…"

"Not a single one will make it back!"
