Zhang Liang suddenly cried out in panic. He was a genius from the Dragon Vein Family and the pride of the Zhang Family, highly esteemed by all! But if he were to die, all that reputation and pride would vanish into thin air!
Now it was no longer about self-respect or face, but whether he could stay alive.
"Not kill you? Give me one reason not to!"
Bai Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice boiling with murderous intent.
Ma Mubo, who was beside them, had already been scared witless. Zhang Liang, who he regarded as a god, was defeated in a single move by Bai Yan! Zhang Liang’s most prized Dragon Vein Power was actually inferior to Bai Yan’s!
Ma Mubo’s lips turned white. He dared not utter a word now; he didn’t even dare to fart! Ma Mubo was afraid of drawing Bai Yan’s attention, fearing that Bai Yan would kill him as an afterthought.
Yan Qing finally came to her senses, her pretty face still showing a trace of shock.
Yan Qing never expected Bai Yan to be a Dragon Vein controller as well—and an even more powerful one than Zhang Liang!
Master Blood Dragon had never mentioned this to her!
This... this was too shocking!
Bai Yan, as a prodigy of Huaxia and also a controller of Dragon Vein, possessed an outrageously abnormal talent!
Bai Yan’s talent could no longer be described as demonic; it was practically defying the heavens!
Yet even in her astonishment, Yan Qing did not forget her role. Since Master Blood Dragon had entrusted Bai Yan to her, she had to consider his well-being; she could not let Bai Yan kill Zhang Liang!
"Bai Yan, don’t kill them!"
Yan Qing hurriedly stood up, quickly walking to Bai Yan’s side, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
"You dare to stop me from killing?"
Bai Yan turned around, his cold gaze fixed on the delicate woman.
His rigid heart was not easily swayed by others. If Yan Qing didn’t give him a reasonable explanation, Bai Yan wouldn’t even acknowledge her place by his side, even if she was the woman arranged by Master Blood Dragon!
"Really, you mustn’t kill them, Bai Yan! The ordeal with the seventh son of the Liu Family earlier was provoked by them, and it was agreed to be a life-or-death match; your killing them wouldn’t matter. But if you now kill Zhang Liang and Ma Mubo outside of a life-or-death match, you would offend both the Ma Family and the Zhang Family at the same time!"
Yan Qing explained softly by Bai Yan’s side, gasping slightly after speaking all these words at once.
Yan Qing calmed herself, looking directly into Bai Yan’s indifferent eyes as she continued quietly, "If you kill these two now, the elders of their families will surely come after you! Even Master Blood Dragon won’t be able to protect you by then!"
She truly had Bai Yan’s interests at heart. Bai Yan was very powerful and demonic, with a talent that made him the laughingstock of geniuses from the global Abnormal World of his generation!
But the stronger Bai Yan was, the less she could allow him to fall into danger!
Suddenly, Bai Yan laughed and said, "According to Eldest Young Master Zhang’s words, in young Abnormal’s fights, elders shouldn’t interfere!"
"Am I right, Eldest Young Master Zhang?"
Bai Yan lowered his head to look at Zhang Liang.
Faced with Bai Yan’s icy stare, Zhang Liang wore a mournful expression. He wanted to say "yes," yet he feared that Bai Yan would use that as an excuse to snuff him out!
Yan Qing became anxious, urgently whispering a reminder, "The rules set by Master Blood Dragon can constrain most Abnormals, but they hardly bind the Dragon Vein Families! If you kill Zhang Liang today, tomorrow the Zhang Family might take action against the An Family sisters..."
The An Family sisters!
They were the women Bai Yan cared for the most!
Bai Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned around to stare intensely at Yan Qing. A faint illusion of the Dragon Pattern Cross glimmered in his deep eyes, exuding an overwhelming aura!
Bai Yan’s formidable presence caused Yan Qing’s delicate body to tremble, a dangerous sensation spreading all over her body, even causing Ma Mubo and Zhang Liang to jump in alarm, a chilling feeling emerging spontaneously.
At this moment, Bai Yan had suddenly become extremely dangerous!
"I’m telling the truth! Bai Yan, you need to think carefully!"
Yan Qing bit her lip firmly, her gaze not flinching as she looked directly into Bai Yan’s eyes.
It was well known in the Huaxia Abnormal World that the Dragon Vein Families have always been at odds with Master Blood Dragon, and they wouldn’t care about the rules he laid down!
With Bai Yan’s current strength, killing Zhang Liang would undoubtedly give the Zhang Family’s higher-ups an excuse to target him, putting Bai Yan in a very passive position!
Even if Master Blood Dragon were to intervene, he could only ensure Bai Yan’s safety, hardly able to protect the women close to him!
Yan Qing sincerely had Bai Yan’s best interests in mind; she did not want to see the worst situation unfold!
"Are you sure... you want to use them as an excuse to threaten me?"
Bai Yan’s gaze became bizarre and eerie, he greatly disliked being grasped by his weak points, but these weak points existed nonetheless!
"This is not a threat, it’s for your own good!"
Yan Qing was biting her teeth tightly, she suddenly felt somewhat wronged, clearly she was the pride of heaven pursued by so many Abnormal geniuses in Beijing, yet she still had to attend to this unreasonable, stinky man!
Doesn’t he know that what she said was for his sake?
Does he really think he’s invincible?
One must know, within the vast lands of Huaxia Divine Land, there are some people you simply cannot afford to offend!
Tears swirled in her beautiful eyes, Yan Qing tried hard to scrunch up her small nose to keep them from falling, she widened her watery eyes and looked straight at Bai Yan with justified indignation.
Zhang Liang and Ma Mubo couldn’t hear what the two were saying clearly, but they were smart enough to tell that Yan Qing was pleading with Bai Yan for their lives.
"Mr. Bai, don’t kill us, it’s not worth it! Really not worth it, we can turn enemies into friends!"
Ma Mubo quickly spoke out, his previous scheming thoughts about ambushing Bai Yan were now gone, he just wanted to live!
"Mr. Bai, I beg you not to kill us! We could have been friends! Yes, I invited you to dinner today because I wanted to befriend you. You have to believe me!"
Ma Mubo shamelessly put on a thick face, desperately explaining to Bai Yan.
Ma Mubo was now extremely afraid of Bai Yan, even Zhang Liang couldn’t match him, among the elite forces’ Heavenly Prides, who else could subdue this monster?
To not beg for mercy is to die!
At this time, self-respect was worthless, face was worthless, surviving was what mattered most!
Zhang Liang slightly opened his mouth, he also wanted to say something, but his pride wouldn’t allow him to utter the shameless pleas for mercy like Ma Mubo.
Zhang Liang clenched his fist, bowed his arrogant head, his face flushed red, and his eyes filled with frustration! For the first time, he felt such shame, even more shameful than when Bai Yan defeated him!
To let a woman plead for him, moreover an enemy’s woman!
This was trampling on my pride!!!
Zhang Liang was screaming madly in his heart, emotions of anger, humiliation, and embarrassment accumulating in his chest, almost enough to make him explode!
Bai Yan glanced indifferently at the two, one with his head lowered in fear, the other obsequiously begging for mercy; their current appearance was completely different from their previous confident countenance.
In front of true power, they could only beg for their lives.
"Fine, I won’t kill them. I’ll trust you this time, as a favor for Master Blood Dragon."
After a brief silence, Bai Yan glanced at the tense and aggrieved Yan Qing and spoke indifferently.
He had to admit there was some sense in what Yan Qing said, Bai Yan also didn’t want the An Family sisters to be in danger, so he couldn’t let the situation escalate.
At the very least, Bai Yan needed to wait until he had enough Demon protective force around his women before killing these two wasn’t too late!
Bai Yan was making plans in his heart.
Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief; this stubborn blockhead finally agreed to listen to her advice.
Ma Mubo was ecstatic that he nearly went mad, he quickly knelt halfway to the ground, obsequiously thanking: "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for sparing our lives! I will surely follow your lead from now on! I won’t dare to be presumptuous anymore!"
Bai Yan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Ma Mubo.
Bai Yan turned his head, interestedly sizing up Zhang Liang: "However, while the death penalty can be spared, the living penalty cannot escape. You wanted to kill me just now, so now you must provide some compensation."
Zhang Liang was stunned.
"What do I mean? I’m going to cripple you! And by the way, I’ll take your Dragon Vein too!"
A hint of coldness flickered in Bai Yan’s eyes, an illusion of a Dragon Claw emerged from his palm, he suddenly lunged towards Zhang Liang!
Zhang Liang’s face, which had just relaxed, suddenly turned to shock, he reflexively raised his hand to block, and his own Dragon Claw Illusion appeared simultaneously!
Zhang Liang wanted to resist, he could accept failure.
But he absolutely couldn’t, let Bai Yan wantonly control everything of his!
