Let's End This Here, Before It Gets Out of Hand

Just as he had said, using ninjutsu to kill three little brats would be beneath his status as a genin!

The black-clad youth held a kunai as he walked up to the three of them. He raised it high, ready to strike!

Just then, a faint sigh suddenly rang out!

"Don't you think you've gone a little too far?"

A slightly taller child then stepped out from the side, looking at Chong Chunyi and the others as he spoke calmly!

"Hm?"

Everyone looked over in surprise upon hearing that voice!

The black-clad youth, who had been about to strike, also stopped. Frowning, he looked toward the speaker, wanting to see who dared step forward to court death at a time like this!

Yang Ming walked up to the three of them and stretched out an arm, shielding them behind him. He looked at the black-clad youth, Chong Chunyi, and the others as he spoke calmly!

"Let's end this here. If things get blown out of proportion, it won't end well for anyone!"

"Yuexia Ming, if you want to die, don't drag everyone else down with you!"

The moment Yang Ming said this, Gong Lizi immediately shouted fiercely!

Originally, three deaths would have been enough. But with Yang Ming interfering, Chong Chunyi would likely drag even more people into this.

Once he truly acted, even she would be unable to stop him!

Yang Ming was going to get everyone killed!

"Oh? End this here? Kid, who do you think you are? What makes you worthy of speaking to me?"

Chong Chunyi looked at Yang Ming with a mocking expression, his words filled with contempt.

"I'm not some thing. My name is Yuexia Ming. You'd best watch your tone when you speak, or you might provoke someone you shouldn't. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers!"

Yang Ming frowned, then spoke in a lecturing tone.

The moment he said this, everyone around them fell silent in terror!

Gong Lizi even left immediately, as though something truly terrifying was about to happen next!

The surrounding orphans trembled, their faces pale. Some collapsed onto the ground on their backsides!

It was as though something horrifying was about to happen!

"Yuexia Ming, if you want to die, then go die by yourself! Why drag us down with you? Didn't you see how Jin Mengzi got implicated just for saying one extra sentence?"

Everyone glared furiously at Yang Ming!

They were enraged that he had dragged them into this!

"I'll provoke someone I shouldn't?"

Chong Chunyi was not angry but laughed instead. Looking at Yang Ming, he nodded!

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, clearly furious to the extreme!

"Since graduating, this is the first time anyone has dared speak to me like this. Yuexia Ming, very good. I'll remember your name!"

"Leave none alive. Kill them all!"

Chong Chunyi shouted at the black-clad youth!

"It's over. This is really over. Chong Chunyi is going to kill every last one of us!"

"Yuexia Ming, this is all your fault! You deserve to die!"

"Yuexia Ming, it's all because of you! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!"

Hearing this, everyone fell into despair!

They looked at Yang Ming and cursed him without stop!

"Kid, you've really got guts. You actually dared refute Brother Chong to his face. In all these years, you're the first one I've seen!"

"But you'll pay the price for it!"

The black-clad youth held his kunai and looked coldly at Yang Ming. Suddenly, he moved and charged straight at him!

The kunai flashed through the air, its edge glinting with cold light as it slashed toward Yang Ming's neck!

The black-clad youth struck like lightning, reaching Yang Ming in almost an instant!

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly shut their eyes, too afraid to watch!

Smack!

With a crisp sound, Yang Ming seized the black-clad youth's kunai-wielding hand at an exquisitely precise angle!

The kunai was only a hair's breadth from Yang Ming's neck!

Yet a tiny difference could lead to vastly different results!

That tiny gap was enough to prevent the black-clad youth from advancing any further. Instead, his wrist was caught and restrained!

"So you do have some skill. No wonder you're so confident!"

Seeing this, the kunai flew from the black-clad youth's hand. Yang Ming flashed aside to dodge it, while the youth took a step back and looked at him!

His expression gradually turned serious!

"I was only playing with you earlier. Now, I'll let you see my true strength!"

The black-clad youth sneered as chakra circulated through his body. His movements suddenly became several times faster.

Throwing punches and kicks, he charged at Yang Ming!

His speed and strength were at least twice what they had been before!

"Hm?"

Yang Ming gave a light laugh and threw a punch!
