516: Chapter 0517: Let Them Go 516: Chapter 0517: Let Them Go Ye Qiu knew when he was in his room that he was no match for these three men.
He feared waking his parents and, moreover, was afraid that they would be frightened by these three.
Thus, Ye Qiu lured the men over here.
However, his strength really was inferior to that of the three men in black.
In terms of martial prowess, Ye Qiu knew he couldn’t compare, but his real power lay not in that, but in his ability to control viruses.
The three men in black, one aimed for Ye Qiu’s neck, another for his heart, and the third for his glabella, intending to deliver a fatal blow to each of these parts.
If Ye Qiu were to be stabbed by any one of them, he would certainly die without a doubt.
Just as Ye Qiu had uttered that phrase, all three men in black felt a searing pain in their chests, as if their hearts were about to explode.
It hurt so much that they had to stop and clutch their chests.
While they were still a few meters away from Ye Qiu, seeing the men in black in such a state, Ye Qiu let out a cold chuckle, “Now it’s my turn to play with you guys, isn’t it?”
The agony sapped the strength from their bodies, leaving them unable to stand straight.
They couldn’t understand how Ye Qiu had done this.
The three men in black could only guess that they must have been poisoned just now; how else could such a thing have happened?
Ye Qiu approached the first man in black, grabbed his neck, lifted him up, and threw him towards a nearby tree.
After hitting the tree trunk and falling down, the man was again grabbed by Ye Qiu and smashed into the trunk of the large tree with ferocity.
By the time the man in black hit the ground, he had already coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Ye Qiu was well aware that if he didn’t have this ability to protect himself, he might have been a dead body by now.
The other two men in black hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be so brutal.
They thought of running away, knowing there was no chance of killing Ye Qiu that night.
However, they had barely run ten meters when Ye Qiu picked up two sharp knives they had dropped and threw them at the fleeing men.
The knives plunged deeply into their backs.
The knives penetrated deep, not into their hearts but other areas, causing pain even more real than before.
The initial pain was like a bad dream, but now it was painfully real.
Ye Qiu went up to one of the men in black, refrained from removing his mask, and instead picked up one of the sharp knives and stabbed it viciously into the man’s thigh.
Immediately, blood sprayed out, staining his pants red.
Ye Qiu stabbed repeatedly, brutally inserting the knife then pulling it out before stabbing again, until the man in black nearly passed out from the pain.
The man in black was strong, but he had never met someone who’d torture him as brutally as Ye Qiu did.
Of course, he didn’t make a single sound or scream in agony.
The other man in black, having seen what Ye Qiu was doing and pulled out the knife from his back, prepared to fight to the death.
But before he could steady himself, he was struck once again by that crippling pain in his chest.
It was that same feeling as before, as if his heart was about to explode.
Ye Qiu approached him, tore off the black cloth covering his face, and saw a stranger, a man of about thirty-five or thirty-six.
“Speak, who sent you?”, Ye Qiu demanded.
The man in black remained silent.
Ye Qiu grabbed the dropped dagger from the ground and plunged it directly into the attacker’s chest, then viciously pulled it out.
When the blood sprayed out, the man in black nearly fainted.
Ye Qiu dared to do such a thing, not intending to let the attacker die easily—letting him die easily would only be letting him off.
Seeing that the man remained defiant, still giving him a ferocious glare, Ye Qiu stabbed the dagger harshly into his chest once again.
Blood gushed from the chest of the man in black once more.
“If you don’t talk, then bleed to death!”
Ye Qiu didn’t know how much time had passed, but he found that these three men still didn’t reveal who sent them to kill him, even after his punishment.
However, Ye Qiu was now aware that the world was not as simple as he had originally thought.
He had believed this mundane world was ordinary, everyone in it mere ants, but now he realized that there were truly powerful beings in this world.
The three men in front of him were such beings, but as for how they usually practiced cultivation, Ye Qiu was still in the dark.
After stopping their bleeding, he said, “I don’t want to kill you for now, but if you dare come around again, it won’t be so simple.”
The three men in black never expected Ye Qiu to let them go.
They stood up and realized that the suffocating pain they had felt in their chests was gone, and furthermore, the wounds Ye Qiu had inflicted on them had disappeared.
The three men in black didn’t have time to ponder it as they got up hastily and left toward the outside of Peach Blossom Source Residential Area.
Just as the three men had disappeared, Ye Qiu said, “Ruxue, come out.”
Zhao Ruxue hadn’t been able to sleep late into the night either; suddenly hearing noise outside, she got up to find nothing amiss.
However, when she arrived at Ye Qiu’s room, she found nobody there and sensed several figures disappearing.
She came downstairs and chased after them, catching the scene where Ye Qiu was punishing the three men in black.
“How did you know I was here?”
Zhao Ruxue was surprised.
“I knew as soon as you came out.”
Yet, Zhao Ruxue had seen Ye Qiu’s ferocious punishment of the three men.
“Who were those three men?”
“Then why did you let them go?
If it were me, I would’ve called the police and let them handle it.”
He was aware that these three were strong, experts, but he didn’t know who had sent them.
If they were taken by the police, they might be released soon enough.
“The police couldn’t handle them.”
“So, shall we follow them and see who sent them?”
“No need, they will come seeking me in time.”
Zhao Ruxue didn’t understand.
However, her astonishment and curiosity about Ye Qiu were growing.
Especially after Ye Qiu’s earlier comment, “I’m not playing with you in the middle of the night,” Zhao Ruxue found it particularly amusing.
Moreover, those men in black had clearly been viciously stabbed multiple times with the dagger by Ye Qiu, and she had initially thought Ye Qiu was actually killing someone and wanted to stop him—only for those men to walk away without a scratch in the end.
