Chapter 183: Chapter 184: Despicable Trick

SWISH!

A faint sound of something slicing through the air suddenly rang out.

A murderous glint flashed in the charming woman’s eyes. A frigid dagger was in her hand, its cold light gleaming as she thrust it swiftly toward the young girl’s heart.

Her killing intent was chilling and utterly venomous!

A chill ran through the young girl’s heart as she was suddenly overcome by the feeling of death approaching.

She turned to look, but the dagger was already upon her, giving her no time to react. Only a single thought surfaced in her mind: ’Why?’

She had saved this woman, only to be rewarded with an attempt on her life!

It reminded her of what that coward had said earlier: be careful not to get burned playing with fire. The outcome proved him right!

Ye Wushuang watched it all unfold and shook his head. The instant the charming woman made her move, he moved like lightning, crossing the distance to appear behind the young girl in a flash. He shot a hand forward and grabbed her by the shoulder.

The young girl suddenly felt her body go light as she was pulled back, landing more than ten steps away.

SWISH!

Before the charming woman could react, her sharp dagger struck nothing but air. Still, its chilling edge seemed to warp the very space around it.

If that had pierced a person, it would have been an instant kill!

The sight drained the color from the young girl’s face, leaving her heart pounding with lingering fear.

She tilted her head slightly. The white-robed figure reflected in her eyes was so familiar. Wasn’t he the very guy she had called a coward?

’He saved me.’

The young girl’s face was a mask of surprise and shock.

"You mindless woman!" Ye Wushuang said coldly, then turned to leave.

’Mindless?’

Hearing this, the young girl grew furious.

However, she recalled that this guy had warned her, and at the time, she had dismissed it and even cursed him for being a coward.

Instantly, a great deal of her anger subsided.

’Still, why didn’t he explain things clearly? He must have done it on purpose.’

Ye Wushuang, oblivious to the girl’s thoughts, turned and walked away.

But after a few steps, he stopped again.

Two familiar figures had appeared to his left and right, closing in on him.

It was the two youths in tight-fitting clothes who had left earlier.

The two youths stared at Ye Wushuang with ill intent and uttered a few words. "Before you go, hand over everything you have."

"Everything?" Ye Wushuang narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?"

"Everything you have on you," the youth on the right said coldly. Ye Wushuang had ruined what was supposed to be a good show, which infuriated him, his killing intent now palpable.

’Once Ye Wushuang leaves everything behind, I’ll kill him without a second thought to vent my anger!’

"Leave your things, and leave your life!" On the other side, the charming woman also closed in, forming a triangle that trapped Ye Wushuang and the young girl in the center.

At this moment, the charming woman had lost every trace of her delicate demeanor. Her face was icy, like that of a venomous snake or scorpion, inspiring fear in all who saw her.

"You bitch, how dare you trick me!" the young girl beside Ye Wushuang roared, her teeth clenched in fury as she glared at the charming woman.

Seeing how things had turned out, if the young girl still didn’t understand what was going on, she might as well have found a sword and killed herself.

This was all a "hero saves the damsel" act, directed by the three of them. Their goal was to lure a "hero" in to save the "damsel," then kill the "hero" and seize their treasure.

If the "hero" was weak, the two youths in tight-fitting clothes would simply attack directly.

But if the "hero" was strong, the two youths would flee, and the charming woman would launch a sneak attack to kill them!

The trio had used this ploy to seize a great deal of resources before!

Today, however, they had unexpectedly been seen through—all because of Ye Wushuang!

"Later, dig out his heart for me. I, Yinn Su, want to see if it’s really made of iron," the charming woman said, her gaze fixed on Ye Wushuang like a viper’s.

She had screamed for help so desperately, yet Ye Wushuang had remained completely unmoved, treating her as if she were nothing. But when the young girl was in danger, he had acted.

’Could it be that my beauty can’t even compare to some green little wench?’

Yinn Su thought coldly.

Then, seeing her two companions staring greedily at the young girl, her anger flared even hotter. "And her," she added, "ruin her face for me. Just looking at it makes me sick!"

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s gaze turned cold. ’This woman is truly vicious!’ 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

’Not only does she want to dig out my heart, she also wants to disfigure the very girl who saved her. Her jealousy is terrifying!’

Hearing her words, the two youths also wore strange expressions, taken aback by Yinn Su’s cruelty. But, whatever they were thinking, they knew they had to obey.

’What a waste of a beauty!’

The two sighed inwardly, but their eyes quickly turned cold and indifferent.

"You bitch, I’ll kill you!" Hearing Yinn Su’s venomous words, the young girl was incandescent with rage. She had ignored the risks to save Yinn Su, only to be treated with such malice!

SWISH!

Unable to contain her fury, the young girl brandished her hand. A Spirit Sword materialized, blazing forth with the power of the True Essence Fifth Layer as it shot through the air.

"Hmph!"

The youth on the left snorted coldly. He thrust his hand up, and a frigid Spirit Sword pierced the void, shooting toward the young girl to block her path.

The other youth also sprang into action. However, he didn’t join the attack on the girl; instead, he charged toward Ye Wushuang.

’Ye Wushuang is only at the True Essence Third Layer. I’ll deal with him first, then take care of the girl!’

He rushed forward at high speed. When he was just over ten steps from Ye Wushuang, he stomped his right foot hard, launching himself into the air. A gleaming Spirit Sword chopped down from above as streams of Sword Aura burst from the Sword Body, all descending upon Ye Wushuang.

A cold light flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. From between two of his fingers, a golden Saber Qi shot out, its sharpness peerless!

BOOM!

Facing the dense curtain of Sword Aura falling upon him, he took a step with his right foot and flicked his fingers. The golden Saber Qi flew in an arc, slashing toward the clustered Sword Aura.

With a flash of golden light, the dense Sword Aura was torn in half. The attack didn’t slow, instantly striking the youth.

Before the youth’s foot could even touch the ground, his body was torn apart. Ye Wushuang shot out a hand and pulled the remains into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron.

On the other side, the remaining few shuddered violently at the sight!

A True Essence Fourth Layer expert, killed by a single slash without even a chance to fight back!

’Just how strong is this True Essence Third Layer cultivator?’

’We’ve picked a fight with the wrong person!’

Yinn Su’s expression changed. She abandoned the other youth and fled on her own!

The young girl was now facing only one opponent at the True Essence Fourth Layer. Filled with rage, she quickly cut him down without a shred of mercy!

Watching Yinn Su flee, Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered. He instantly gave chase and appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

Yinn Su stopped dead in her tracks. Her expression changed in an instant as she hurriedly begged for mercy, "Spare me! I can be your woman and serve you!"

"You’re too despicable. I’m not interested."

Ye Wushuang replied indifferently as the golden Saber Qi between his fingers began to move. A venomous, snake-like woman such as her was unworthy of being his.

SWISH!

The golden Saber Qi slashed down.

BOOM!

But at that exact moment, a brilliant beam of Sword Light descended from the sky, striking down at Ye Wushuang. Its speed was astonishing, and it shattered the golden Saber Qi in an instant.

Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed, and he retreated explosively!
