Desperate Wei Xingyun

"How could I possibly hit you? Heh, is it that hard to hit you? Anyone with hands can do it!"

Hua Qiang shrugged, a playful smirk on his face.

"No, you couldn't have hit me. It was just a fluke, a blind squirrel finding a nut!"

"My Ghostly Steps are my signature technique, my ultimate skill. Countless people have fallen before my footwork."

"You'll be no exception!"

"Kid, luck won't always be on your side. Die!"

Wei Xingyun activated Ghostly Steps again, his body flickering unpredictably, darting left and right like a phantom, a dazzling display.

However, to Hua Qiang, who had mastered Shadow Dodge and possessed the ultimate skill of Prediction, Wei Xingyun's disorienting tactics were laughably crude.

As Wei Xingyun closed in on Hua Qiang, preparing to deliver a killing blow with his dagger, a fist appeared before him.

He saw a flash of golden light, then his head felt like it had been hit by a speeding carriage. Dizzy and disoriented, his body was sent flying backward again.

Thump!

Wei Xingyun's body slammed into a wall, then slid down powerlessly.

Pfft!

He could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression one of profound disbelief.

He muttered to himself, "Impossible, how could this be? How could he hit me again?"

"How did you do it?"

"How could you predict my movements? And hit me so accurately, what's going on?"

"Tell me!"

Wei Xingyun was on the verge of breaking down, shouting hysterically.

He wanted to know why, why could the other party predict his movements and hit him so accurately?

Why wasn't the other party fooled by his footwork at all?

"Heh, you want to know? Sure! Let's trade!"

"You tell me who your employer is, and I'll tell you why your movement technique is completely useless against me."

"Why I can hit you with my eyes closed!"

Pfft!

Wei Xingyun was so enraged by Hua Qiang's last words that he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The hell, eyes closed? I was clearly opening my eyes!

Talking such blatant nonsense, you've got guts!

"Ask me something else. I can't answer that question."

"As a member of the Killer Alliance, we have professional ethics!"

"We have principles. We will never betray our employer's information!"

Seeing that the other party was as stubborn as a rock in a latrine, Hua Qiang lost his patience for further questioning.

If you want to play dirty, bring it on!

I'll take it!

As long as you can afford the price!

Hua Qiang took a step forward, appearing before Wei Xingyun, and kicked him.

Wei Xingyun was already severely injured and completely unable to dodge. He was hit squarely by the kick and slammed heavily into the wall again.

He spat out two more mouthfuls of blood, his breathing instantly becoming extremely weak.

He looked like he was breathing out more than breathing in, on the verge of death.

Since you won't talk, you're useless to me.

Hua Qiang stopped holding back and threw a punch, striking Wei Xingyun's head.

Brain matter splattered.

To his dying moment, Wei Xingyun couldn't believe that such a low-level mission, such a simple operation, would cost him his life.

To the person who gave me this mission, I curse you to have no sons, to choke to death when eating, to drown when drinking water…

This was a trap!

As Wei Xingyun took his last breath, a prompt sounded in Hua Qiang's mind:

[Slaughter Points +1020]

Not bad. Although there's a slight regret, it still feels good!

He hadn't found out who was behind it, but he had gained 1020 Slaughter Points.

Just then, Ye Bingxue ran out of the jewelry store, her face beaming with a smile that showed her current mood.

"Brother, what are you doing over there?"

Ye Bingxue saw Hua Qiang standing by a wall, with something that looked like a pile of… stuff on the ground.

"Oh, I saw someone by this corner of the wall. They weren't moving at all, so I was checking out the situation."

"So it's a dead person."

"Let's go, let's go home."

"Right, how were the shopping trips? What did you get for Mom? Did you buy anything for yourself?"

Facing Hua Qiang's concerned greeting, Ye Bingxue felt incredibly happy.

"I bought Mom a pair of emerald bracelets, and I bought myself a pair of emerald earrings. Ta-da! Brother, look, aren't they pretty?"

Hua Qiang looked at the shining, translucent green earrings and nodded.

"Not bad, little sister, you've got good taste! Why didn't you buy more, just one pair of earrings?"

"Brother, you're getting carried away! Even though we have quite a bit of money, we still need to be thrifty and spend wisely!" Ye Bingxue glared at Hua Qiang displeasedly.

Hua Qiang quickly flattered her, "You're right, leader. Little sister, you're truly a financial expert!"

"With you managing our finances, our future is definitely looking up!"

"Hee hee hee, it's good you know that. From now on, all of brother's income must be submitted to me. You're not allowed to keep a single penny for yourself."

"If you need money in the future, you have to report to me. After I review it, I'll allocate funds as appropriate!"

"Alright, you're turning into quite the stingy person."

"Brother, help me put them on!"

Ye Bingxue handed the pair of earrings to Hua Qiang and then stood still, waiting for him to help her. Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots!

Hua Qiang very carefully put the clear green earrings on Ye Bingxue. They looked very nice. This girl Ye Bingxue was beautiful, so anything she wore looked good. Especially emerald pendants.

"Do they look good?" Ye Bingxue blinked her eyes, acting very playfully.

"They look great! Little sister, you're like a fairy descended from heaven, a true beauty!"

"Never mind these pendants, even if you tied two blades of grass and hung them from your ears, you'd still look incredibly good!"

Ye Bingxue shot Hua Qiang a look, but the unconcealed joy in her eyes showed she was very pleased with his flattery.

Let's go home!

The two of them played and looked at the street scenery, fooling around along the way, and didn't get home until late at night.

When they opened the door, Ye Wendao and Liu Li were still sitting on the sofa, waiting for them.

A sense of guilt immediately washed over Hua Qiang. His parents were already old, and he shouldn't have made them worry and wait like this.

"Dad, Mom, why aren't you guys asleep yet? It's so late."

Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them return. They had never come home this late before. Not knowing what had happened, how could they not be worried? How could they sleep?

"Dad, Mom, I have some good news! I went to the Martial Arts Association today to get certified as a Martial Artist, and I succeeded!"

"I'm a glorious Martial Artist now!"

"What? Really?"

Ye Wendao and Liu Li leaped up from the sofa. Their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

"Of course!"

Ye Bingxue took out the six-pointed star medal that represented her status as a Martial Artist and placed it on the table. Then, she also placed her smart black card on the table.

Seeing these, the two of them became incredibly excited. Their Ye family truly had produced both dragons and phoenixes.

Oh, that's right!

Ye Bingxue put the pair of emerald bracelets on Liu Li's wrist.

"This is a gift from brother and me!"

"Wow! Beautiful, they look so good. Mom really likes them!"

Liu Li looked at the bracelets, overjoyed. Ye Wendao's eyes also flashed with a hint of joy.

For all these years, his wife had endured hardships with him, and he felt he had failed her along the way.

Now that his children had fulfilled his wishes, he could finally set his mind at ease.

"Dad, Mom, I need your decision on one more thing."

"Today, Brother was certified as a Peak Martial Artist and received the treatment of a Martial Master. He got a 2 million cash reward and was also gifted a detached villa in Xuanwu Villa for our family."

"We now have three properties. Where do you think would be the best place for us to move?"
