59: Chapter 59 Fire Talisman Punishes the Wicked

Ye Hua looked at the six wounded men collapsed on the ground, listening to their painful groans, his eyes instantly turning as cold as frost.

He knew well that in this Jianghu where the strong prey upon the weak, being merciful to enemies was equivalent to being cruel to one's own loved ones.

If he showed mercy now, once these people recovered their strength, they would surely incite an even greater bloodbath.

"Strike while you are injured and take your lives! Anyone who dares to provoke the Nanyue Escort Agency must pay the price!" Ye Hua said in a cold voice.

The big man's eyes were filled with fear, and he begged with a sobbing tone: "Young Master Ye, please spare our lives... We will never dare to do this again..."

Ye Hua's expression was icy, and he said word by word: "You have committed countless evils in your daily lives. When you coerced my parents just now, did you ever show a shred of mercy? Now that retribution has come, you come to beg for mercy?"

Before his voice had even faded, he threw the spirit talisman in his hand without hesitation.

The moment the spirit talisman hit the ground, a brilliant light burst forth.

The two-colored spirit power transformed into a flood dragon, spiraling and intertwining in the air, condensing into a majestic fire Dragon.

The fire Dragon's body surged with flames, emitting a terrifying, earth-shattering high temperature.

It raised its head and hissed, the sound shaking the surroundings, and then, like a rainbow of fire, it engulfed the six men instantly, carrying roaring flames.

Piercing screams resounded through the night sky. The six men twisted and struggled in the flames; their clothes turned to ash instantly, and their skin sizzled as it was roasted.

Before long, six charred corpses lay sprawled on the snowy ground, with only curling black smoke telling of the tragedy that had just occurred.

Although Ye Rong could not bear to watch, she understood her brother's decision.

She walked quickly into the hall and untied the ropes on her parents and the others.

Just at that moment, rapid footsteps came from outside the door, but they faded away in an instant.

Ye Hua and Yun Song looked in that direction vigilantly, but ultimately suppressed the urge to chase after them—acting rashly in this pitch-black night would only increase the danger.

Yun Song picked up the unbroken porcelain bottle from the ground and examined it carefully by the moonlight.

This black porcelain bottle, about the length of a forearm, glinted with a faint light. The surface of the bottle was carved with strange patterns that looked like both runes and totems.

The mouth of the bottle was tightly sealed with thick wax, and a vague mark was faintly visible.

Knowing that there might be danger hidden inside, he carefully tucked it into his bosom.

Stepping into the hall, the complex expressions of the people who had survived the ordeal came into view.

Mother Ye's face was pale, and she grabbed Ye Rong's hand, trembling: "Rong'er, Mother was worried to death..."

"Mother, I'm fine. Everything is over now," Ye Rong comforted her softly, gently wiping away her mother's tears.

Although Chief Escort Ye was sitting on a stool weakly, his eyes were full of relief: "Dad is fine. It's all thanks to you arriving in time."

This man, who had once been as upright as a pine tree, was now hunched over due to the fire poison and his bindings.

Sweat rolled down his pale face, soaking his messy hair. His handsome face was slightly twisted from pain, yet it could not hide the love in his eyes.

"Hua'er, you have grown up..." Chief Escort Ye said weakly but proudly. "Your father has lived an upright life, yet I have implicated you in danger..."

Ye Hua gripped his father's hand: "Dad, Mom, everyone has been saved, and those evildoers have received their retribution." He turned his head and introduced him solemnly: "This is Brother Yun. If it weren't for his help, we would likely have been in grave danger."

Chief Escort Ye forced himself to stand up, his eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Yun, I will keep your great kindness in my heart. In the future, if you have any requests, I will not hesitate even at the cost of my life!"

Yun Song cupped his hands in a salute and said humbly: "Chief Escort Ye, you are too kind. Seeing injustice on the road and offering help is merely my duty."

Ye Hua patted Yun Song's shoulder and added: "Brother Yun is not only skilled in martial arts but also resourceful."

This time, being able to rescue everyone smoothly was entirely due to his plan.

Furthermore, he is also well-versed in medicine. He has already told me the prescription to dispel the fire poison, and when dawn breaks, I will go gather the herbs to purge the toxins from Dad's body."

Inside the hall, the warmth of having survived the ordeal gradually dispelled the tense atmosphere, but it could not dispel the surging waves in everyone's hearts.
