Chapter 844: Chapter 844
"But, what's the deal with your sword?" False Huang Boxiong was still very reluctant to accept it, even if Ye Qing could crush the parts in his phone and hide them on his person. But how could such a large Seven-Star Ancient Sword evade his eyes?
"How have you become more and more foolish?" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan sneered: "Since he's already contacted people from the city, do you think obtaining the Seven-Star Ancient Sword would be difficult for him? Let me tell you the truth, this Seven-Star Ancient Sword, it was I, your grandpa Ghost King, who stuffed it through the back wall, just to guard against you all!"
"It was you!?" False Huang Boxiong was even more astonished and said, "Impossible, I've inspected this house, there are no cracks in the back wall, how did you stuff it there?"
Ghost King Li Ruoyuan let out a weird laugh: "The Seven-Star Ancient Sword cuts through iron as if it's mud, slicing steel and the like with ease, let alone your mud wall. Even if there weren't any cracks in the back wall, it would be absolutely no difficult feat for the Seven-Star Ancient Sword to jab and create a crack!"
False Huang Boxiong hurriedly turned his head to look, indeed there was a large crack in the back wall of the room, where Ye Qing had been lying. It did look like it had just been poked open. Ye Qing had been lying there before, so he couldn't see the crack at all.
"Since you've got your hands on the Seven-Star Ancient Sword so early, why didn't you run away at that time?" False Huang Boxiong asked. Although he knew he had completely lost, he was still very unwilling and had many questions he didn't understand. Moreover, now he couldn't fathom Ye Qing's every move at all. He was a curious person; even facing death, he wanted to understand everything clearly.
"Without finding the patrol team, of course I couldn't leave," Ye Qing paused and laughed: "Moreover, the plan I've been working on for two days was about to come into play, why should I be in a hurry to leave?"
After listening to Ye Qing, False Huang Boxiong completely despaired. He had never thought that all the careful planning he believed he had under control turned out to be all within Ye Qing's grasp, and he was always in the dark. What's crucial is that he had been complacent before, thinking he had achieved a great deed. Now it seems, not only did he not earn any credit, but he also made a huge mistake. It looks like he won't be waiting for Wang Tian'an's reward, perhaps his fate will be even more miserable than Xu Cunxiao's.
"Plan? What plan?" Wang Tian'an couldn't help but ask, he knew very well that Ye Qing's plan was definitely targeting him. But he had only been planning for less than a day to deal with Ye Qing, how could Ye Qing possibly predict and concoct a plan against him?
"Hehe..." Ye Qing smiled faintly, looked at Chen San, and shouted loudly: "Third Brother Chen, it looks like it's time for revenge tonight. Let not a single one of Wang Tian'an's men escape!"
"Good!" Chen San shouted back loudly.
"Brother..." Chen Si whispered, "Our manpower is much less than Wang Tian'an's, if we fight, I'm afraid we will be at a disadvantage!"
Chen San also harbored doubts in his heart, but he trusted Ye Qing, which is why he responded that way. He didn't know what plan Ye Qing had, but since Ye Qing could ruin Wang Tian'an's flawless plan, perhaps Ye Qing had a contingency in place.
"Ye, stop bluffing!" Wang Tian'an shouted, "Two days ago, I hadn't even prepared this plan, how could you possibly know what I was going to do? You don't have a plan at all, you're just trying to scare me, do you think I'd be afraid of you?"
"Wang Tian'an, it doesn't matter what your plan was two days ago, what matters is that I've been thinking of ways to deal with you for these two days," Ye Qing laughed and said: "Didn't you see? Two days ago, the Sha Men friends already left Shenchuan City, but in fact, they didn't go far; they were busy with another matter. Now that you have moved your hand, then I can also start my plan ahead of schedule. Tonight, since you've brought so many people here to die, it also makes my two days of strategic planning worthwhile!"
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Wang Tian'an's subordinates felt a shiver in their hearts. They all knew about Ye Qing burning forty or fifty of Wang Tian'an's men earlier. In their minds, Ye Qing was no different from Death God, and Wang Tian'an had suffered a lot at Ye Qing's hands. Thus, they were quite wary of Ye Qing. And now, hearing that Ye Qing had another plan, they were even more terrified, fearing that like those before, they would be set ablaze by Ye Qing, a certain death.
Wang Tian'an noticed the expressions of his subordinates and knew the situation was bad. The battle hadn't even begun, and their morale was already waning. What would happen when the fight actually started?
Wang Tian'an gritted his teeth, staring intensely at Ye Qing, and said angrily: "Ye, what's the use even if you have planned something? Today, with so many of my men here, even if you call over all the people from Sha Men, you are still no match for me. None of you will leave here alive today. Brothers, don't be afraid of him. Now that we are united with the Chen Family and Sha Men, any of Ye Qing's plots and schemes will be worthless. He wants to kill us; unless he kills the Chen Family and Sha Men too, he can't touch us!"
Wang Tian'an's words greatly reassured the surrounding crowd, while Ye Qing still maintained that faint smile, showing no concern for Wang Tian'an's words.
Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Chen San became very composed as well, standing with his hands behind his back and looking at Wang Tian'an, his eyes flickering with killing intent.
Chen San and Ye Qing's composure, on the contrary, began to unsettle Wang Tian'an's heart. Although he had many subordinates around him, everything seemed to change when Ye Qing burst out of that room. The assurance that he had a winning game was completely gone. Now, what he feared the most was whether Ye Qing truly had a plan, he was genuinely afraid of Ye Qing!
Seeing Wang Tian'an's evasive gaze, Ye Qing couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He looked at Cui Yu and raised his voice: "Big Brother Cui, please close the door. Tonight, no matter what, do not let Wang Tian'an and his people leave!"
"No problem!" Cui Yu laughed loudly and turned around to close the gate of the courtyard.
This situation caused Wang Tian'an's people to become even more restless. Wang Tian'an tried hard to stabilize everyone, but he himself was already trembling inside.
"Ye, you don't need to play these Empty Fort Strategies with me. As long as my men mix with yours, you can't do anything to us!" Wang Tian'an shouted: "Brothers, try to mix with their men as much as possible, don't separate!"
As soon as Wang Tian'an said this, his subordinates immediately dispersed and mixed with Chen San's men, standing together.
Chen San was somewhat worried that this would sabotage Ye Qing's plan. However, after looking at Ye Qing and seeing his calm expression, he let go of his concern. It seemed that Ye Qing's plan was not hindered at all by the actions of Wang Tian'an's subordinates.
"So what if you mix together?" Ye Qing laughed and said: "Wang Tian'an, the same trick works once as a clever move, twice as a deception, three times is stupidity. You think I'd use the same method to deal with you again? Hmph, you're still underestimating me. Third Brother Chen, Big Brother Cui, it's getting late, let's not waste any more time!"
"Good!" Before Chen San and Cui Yu could speak, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan let out a piercing scream and suddenly pounced on the two people beside him.
The move of Ghost King Li Ruoyuan seemed to be a signal, and everyone immediately rushed out, fighting one another in pairs.
On this side, Ye Qing did not hesitate at all, gripping the Seven-Star Ancient Sword and charging towards the False Huang Boxiong.
False Huang Boxiong also roared loudly, pulling out a soft whip from his waist and charging towards Ye Qing head-on. This man's strength was indeed formidable; the soft whip in his hand danced into a circle, capturing Ye Qing's wrist on the first strike. He pulled back forcefully, and Ye Qing seemed powerless to struggle, being directly pulled over.
Seeing this, False Huang Boxiong's mouth couldn't help but curl into a cold smile. With a flick of his wrist, the soft whip drew another circle and rolled towards Ye Qing. Ye Qing quickly tried to block it with the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, but the soft whip was not like other weapons; it wasn't affected by force and couldn't be cut. Instead, the soft whip firmly ensnared Ye Qing, wrapping around both of his arms.
"Hahaha..." False Huang Boxiong burst into laughter and said: "Ye, no matter how many tricks you have, it's useless if you don't have the strength!"
As he spoke, False Huang Boxiong yanked forcefully, pulling Ye Qing to a place two meters in front of him. At the same time, his other hand drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed straight at Ye Qing's chest.
The distance between Ye Qing and False Huang Boxiong left Ye Qing with no room to dodge, and with his arms bound by the whip, he was entirely unable to defend. False Huang Boxiong's strike seemed certain to hit.
However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Ye Qing's chest, the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in Ye Qing's hand suddenly fell as if he could no longer hold it. At the same moment, Ye Qing's right foot kicked out, directly hitting the hilt of the Seven-Star Ancient Sword. With that, the Seven-Star Ancient Sword shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring, piercing straight into False Huang Boxiong's chest and out his back.
False Huang Boxiong's dagger hadn't even reached Ye Qing when he instantly froze, staring at Ye Qing with his eyes wide open, blood oozing from his mouth. He held on for a full five seconds before finally collapsing to the ground.
It never occurred to him that Ye Qing would have such a move up his sleeve. In the moment of his death, he finally understood that Ye Qing had intentionally let himself be entangled and pulled closer as part of the plan. Ye Qing pretended to drop the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, but in fact, he controlled it with his foot. At such close range and with the Seven-Star Ancient Sword's formidable sharpness, there was no way for him to dodge it, and he ended up relinquishing his life!
