251: A reason to kill!

Ye Chen glanced at the five people on the ground, whose faces were filled with terror, and spoke indifferently.

"I don't have many great virtues."

"I'm just a bit of a patriot."

Hearing this, White Charm immediately understood Ye Chen's meaning.

Consequently...

Without asking a single question, her figure blurred, and she appeared in front of the Japanese man.

Then...

With a flick of her delicate hand, a short blade appeared in her palm.

"No... White Charm-san! You... AH!!!"

The Japanese man's eyes bulged, his terrified words cut short.

A cold light flashed!

The short blade swept across his throat with cold precision.

Blood erupted like a fountain.

The Japanese man clutched his neck with both hands, the light in his eyes fading rapidly. After a few convulsions, his body went completely still, slumped on the carpet.

A Heaven Realm Expert had actually died in such a pathetic manner!

*Hiss—*

The remaining four gasped in unison, their hair standing on end!

Although they had guessed White Charm's betrayal and that Ye Chen came with ill intent, they never expected the opponent to kill immediately without a single word of nonsense!

This ruthless decisiveness chilled them to the bone.

White Charm, as if she had done something trivial, flicked her wrist to shake off the blood droplets from the tip of her blade. She then turned back to Ye Chen, bowing slightly, her tone still charming and respectful: "Master, what are your further instructions?"

Ye Chen's gaze fell upon the Korean man.

"I don't much like people who boast."

"Especially the kind with little skill but a big mouth."

The Korean man: "???"

Huh?

Wasn't he talking about him?

His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he just about to open his mouth...

Suddenly!

White Charm's figure approached again like a ghost.

The blade flashed once more!

This time, the short blade pierced directly through the Korean man's temple, the tip emerging from the other side.

The spark in the Korean man's small eyes instantly froze, turning to ash. Without even a groan, he slumped to the floor.

In the blink of an eye, two of the five were gone!

The thick scent of blood permeated the enclosed private booth.

The anger on the remaining three's faces had long since been replaced by boundless fear.

They desperately tried to circulate their internal energy and struggle, but the medicinal power of the Bone-Weakening Tendon-Softening Powder firmly locked their energy centers, making them weaker than ordinary people.

Ye Chen kept his hands behind his back and continued.

"There's also an old saying..."

"'If they are not of our race, their hearts must be different.'"

"Especially those who defile the lineage of my Dragon Kingdom."

The black man's eyes widened in terror, and he shrieked in broken Dragon Kingdom dialect: "No! I can submit! I am very useful! I..."

His pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

The short blade in White Charm's hand, like a venomous snake's tongue, pierced through his chest muscles and went straight into his heart!

The black man's massive frame shuddered violently, blood spilling from his mouth. He looked down in disbelief at the short blade with only the hilt showing, then looked up at the expressionless Ye Chen and the cold-eyed White Charm. His massive body crashed backward, making the floor tremble slightly.

Until the moment of death...

He never imagined that the woman he liked would kill him so heartlessly for another man.

Without even a moment's hesitation!

At this moment...

Of the five Soul Emissarys, only two remained in an instant: the white man and the Dragon Kingdom man.

Ye Chen seemed to feel a bit tired; he stretched lazily and cracked his neck.

"I also have a rule."

"Of the turtles caught in a jar, only one can live."

"However..."

He paused and spoke meaningfully again.

"I don't much like watching my own people kill each other."

White Charm understood perfectly. Without any hesitation, her figure drifted toward the white man.

The white man's emerald blue eyes were filled with despair: "Wait... wait! I have value! I know where the Soul Hall's European..."

*Puchi!*

The short blade entered from his back, piercing through his heart.

The white man's words were forever trapped in his throat. He collapsed to the floor, blood quickly soaking the carpet beneath him.

In the entire booth, only the Dragon Kingdom man remained alive.

He slumped in the corner, looking at the four corpses of his companions who had been lively just moments ago. His body shook like a leaf in the autumn wind, and his crotch was already soaked, emitting a foul stench.

Fear had completely shattered his mind.

White Charm, holding the dripping short blade, slowly walked toward him. The charming smile on her face appeared more terrifying than an abyssal demon to him now.

"No... don't kill me!"

"White Charm! You... you've killed so many Soul Emissarys, the Soul Hall won't let you off!"

"The Soul Hall... will definitely hunt you to the ends of the earth!"

The Dragon Kingdom man threatened incoherently, trying to make White Charm stop.

White Charm stopped in front of him and simply shrugged indifferently at his words.

"There is another old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'A wise man submits to the circumstances.'"

"Now, Master is my superior. What does the Soul Hall matter?"

Her words were light, but they caused the Dragon Kingdom man's final psychological defense to completely collapse.

Watching this scene...

There was not a single ripple of emotion on Ye Chen's face.

To him, these beasts who killed to refine souls and ate human flesh and hearts were better off dead; he felt nothing.

On the contrary...

He stepped forward and stopped in front of the Dragon Kingdom man, looking down at him.

"You, what is your name?"

The Dragon Kingdom man shuddered violently, as if grasping a lifeline, and quickly looked up: "I... my name is Lin Biao! Lin as in forest, Biao as in fierce!"

Ye Chen nodded, his face devoid of expression.

"Lin Biao."

"Now, I will give you a chance to live."

A strong light of survival erupted in Lin Biao's eyes, and he nodded frantically: "Please say it! As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything!"

Ye Chen said slowly.

"Call every one of your Soul Emissary colleagues you can contact, one by one."

"Use any reason you can think of to..."

"Lure them all here."

He leaned down slightly, the smile on his face like a demon's grin. "As long as you can do that... I won't kill you today."

Hearing this, Lin Biao subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Survival!

He only wanted to survive now!

Soul Hall rules, colleague camaraderie, warrior's dignity...

In the face of death, they were all bullshit!

"I... I'll call!"

Lin Biao tremblingly pulled a phone from his pocket, his fingers shaking so much he failed to unlock the screen several times.

White Charm stood by his side, her short blade lowered, but its tip rested against his shoulder blade.

Should Lin Biao dare to play any tricks...

She would stab him without hesitation!

Ye Chen crossed his arms and watched Lin Biao quietly, saying nothing.

"I... I have two who are very close to me."

Lin Biao glanced at White Charm's blade and continued with a forced calmness, "One is called Poison Scorpion, and the other is Shadow Bat. They usually stay close to me; they should believe my words."

As he spoke, he secretly looked up to observe Ye Chen's expression.

Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly: "Only two?"

His tone revealed no emotion, yet it caused Lin Biao's heart to tighten suddenly!

"No... more than that!"

Lin Biao panicked.

"Poison Scorpion and Shadow Bat also have good relations with several others!"

"As long as I lure those two here and have them contact the others for different reasons... the remaining ten should all be able to be called over! No problem, definitely no problem!"

To be honest...

If the other twelve Soul Emissarys really all came, dealing with Ye Chen should be no problem.

And his chance of survival would also greatly increase!

Therefore...

To satisfy Ye Chen, he hurriedly added: "There are also small circles within the Soul Hall. We usually act together and trust each other; they won't suspect anything!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Fine."

"Call them."

"Remember, your life depends on how many people show up."

Lin Biao felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and nodded vigorously.

Then...

He directly dialed Poison Scorpion's number.

A short while later...

"Hello? Biao-zi?"

The call connected, and a feminine male voice came from the other end. "Calling me at this time? That's rare. I heard you went to Xiamen City with that slut White Charm? What, did you get lucky?"

Lin Biao's heart pounded wildly as he tried to maintain his composure.

"Scorpion, stop fucking joking! Something happened again!"

"White Charm and I are at the 'Night Passion' bar in Xiamen City, and we've run into a tough nut!"

"Ross and the others are already dead; only White Charm and I escaped!"

"What?" Poison Scorpion's voice changed. "The seven of you are all Heaven Realm Soul Emissarys. How could Ross and the others die?"

One must know...

They were all Heaven Realm Experts!

How could a group of Heaven Realm Experts run into trouble?

Unless the Dragon Kingdom's Hidden Dragon Pavilion mobilized in full force, it was absolutely impossible!

But they hadn't received any word of such a thing!
