Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Leave by Yourself, or Shall I Send You Off to the West?

Liu Wan’er was well aware of the allure her body held for men. Ye Qingchen, of course, was an exception.

Just one look at Hei San’s brutish, fleshy face was enough to know he was no good. Combined with the drool spilling from his mouth as he walked, he appeared utterly lecherous.

Seeing Liu Wan’er shrink back in fear, Hei San swelled with pride. He sauntered forward, leering. ”So, you’re the young miss of the Liu Family? May I ask for your name? To be honest, I have some dealings with your Liu Family.”

Liu Wan’er knew she was the strongest in their party and that Hei San was clearly targeting her. Hiding was useless. Since he had mentioned the Liu Family, she decided to seize the chance to negotiate. ”If Senior has a relationship with my Liu Family, then we are willing to hand over the corpse of the Gold Star Lion King.”

Although Liu Wan’er tried to muster her courage and appear composed, she was still young and had almost no experience with the world. Her words came out stiff and cold.

Hei San’s expression hardened for a moment before his lewd grin returned. ”Of course we’ll take the Gold Star Lion King’s corpse, but I have another condition. The fact that you were sent out on this mission shows your status in the Liu Family isn’t very high. Now, I’ve taken a fancy to you. Come back with me to the Black Tiger Gang and be the lady of my gang. You’ll live a life of luxury, which is several times better than staying with the Liu Family, don’t you think?”

Hearing Hei San’s outrageous words, Liu Wan’er seethed with anger. ”You’re delusional!”

Hei San roared with laughter. ”Good, good, good! So feisty. It’s not just your voluptuous body; I like your fiery temper too. The wilder the horse, the more satisfying it is to tame! You can act all aloof and chaste in front of me now, but tonight in my bed, I’ll have you on your knees begging me to be gentle!”

Hei San had already discerned that Liu Wan’er was merely at the fifth level of the Martial Spirit Realm, a trivial amount of strength he didn’t take seriously at all. Without another word, he reached out to grab her.

The oppressive force of a first-level Martial King emanated from Hei San, and the caravan’s guards fell back, not daring to confront his might. Liu Wan’er hadn’t expected him to strike so suddenly. She tried to resist but was too slow to react.

Just as Hei San’s lustful hands were about to touch her, Qin Meng lunged forward, blocking his path.

But the strength of a Martial King was far beyond what Qin Meng, a Great Martial Master, could withstand. Fortunately, Hei San hadn’t used his full power. Even so, Qin Meng was sent flying backward, vomiting blood from his severe injuries.

Ye Qingchen frowned. Qin Meng did save me, after all. Seeing him injured, Ye Qingchen went to his side, took a Spirit Pill from his robes, and began to treat his wounds.

At that moment, Liu Wan’er recovered her senses, quickly drawing her sword and pointing it at Hei San.

Hei San spat lightly in the direction where Qin Meng had fallen, cursing his bad luck. He had been just a hair’s breadth from touching Liu Wan’er’s body; he had even been fantasizing about the incredible sensation, but Qin Meng’s sudden interference had ruined his fun.

However, Hei San wasn’t in a hurry. He was confident Liu Wan’er was already his for the taking, so a small delay didn’t matter. Seeing her draw her sword, he merely sneered and ordered his men, ”Since they refuse to show the Black Tiger Gang any respect, let them witness the methods of the Black Tiger Gang!”

The men from the Black Tiger Gang roared with laughter and fell upon the members of the Liu Family Commerce Guild. In an instant, the air was filled with the cries of battle.

The guards of the Liu Family Commerce Guild were no match for these battle-hardened ruffians. The moment they clashed, the guards scattered and fled. Seeing this, Hei San laughed even louder.

Grim resolve filled Liu Wan’er’s eyes. She placed her sword against her own neck and spoke with an icy tone, ”I know I’m no match for you, but I would rather die than let you defile me!”

”Suicide? Fine! Go ahead and kill yourself. Once you’re dead, I’ll just defile your corpse!” Hei San curled his lip with indifference. He’d seen hundreds, if not thousands, of girls threaten suicide before him. How many of them truly had the courage to go through with it?

”You! You! You pervert!” Liu Wan’er flushed with shame and fury. To think he wouldn’t even spare her corpse—it was utterly repulsive!

Using his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, Ye Qingchen saw into Liu Wan’er’s heart and knew she was truly determined to die rather than suffer dishonor. He couldn’t help but be moved by her integrity. She saved my life. If I don’t act now, I wouldn’t be true to myself!

With this thought, Ye Qingchen no longer hesitated. After entrusting the injured Qin Meng to Old Liu, he flashed in front of Liu Wan’er. ”Miss Liu, there’s no need for this over a few petty thieves.”

Liu Wan’er, who had been on the verge of taking her own life, stared in astonishment at his sudden appearance. Those guards who always boasted of their loyalty are now running for their lives, yet this young man, whom I barely know, is standing up for me. This is beyond my comprehension. But hearing his words, she found his ignorance almost endearing. ”I appreciate your kindness, but you don’t understand the power of the Martial King Realm. You can’t save me. For your own sake, you should run.”

Ye Qingchen shook his head. It seems I really have a knack for being underestimated. He didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he turned to Hei San and said, ”Will you scram on your own, or must I send you to the afterlife?”

Hei San shot Ye Qingchen a disdainful glance. ”Who’s the fool who forgot to button his pants and let you slip out? If you want to play hero and save the beauty, you should first take a hard look at your own capabilities!”

Despite Hei San’s mockery, Ye Qingchen remained calm. ”I’ll ask you one last time. Scram now and you can keep your life. Refuse, and you’ll be leaving it here.”

Hei San had been in high spirits after encountering Liu Wan’er, which was why he’d dragged out the confrontation. This didn’t mean, however, that he was a patient man. Faced with Ye Qingchen’s repeated provocations, he decided to stop wasting words and simply kill the ignorant brat.

With that thought, Hei San launched a thunderous attack. He didn’t know Ye Qingchen’s strength, but years of life-and-death struggles had taught him to always strike with full power. The resulting fearsome aura forced the surrounding Martial Spirit Realm experts, who were still embroiled in their own fights, to involuntarily retreat.

The very ground cracked and shattered from the aftershocks of Hei San’s attack.

Seeing Hei San’s terrifying power while Ye Qingchen just stood there, not even trying to dodge, Liu Wan’er cried out anxiously, ”Get out of the way! You’re no match for him!”

Ye Qingchen simply shook his head and calmly drew his Flowing Cloud Sword. He unleashed the Wind Blade Sword Technique in a flash. Faced with his sword technique, Hei San’s powerful attack crumbled instantly. It couldn’t withstand a single blow.
