Chapter 678: Mud Puppets (II)
The leader of the thugs had no idea what Bai Meiyue meant by those words. The six men thought that Bai Meiyue was only speaking nonsense due to the dire situation she was in at that moment and didn’t take it seriously. But that was until Meng Qibao rushed at the two men behind them with speed so quick that he left everyone except Bai Meiyue and Liu Che in shock. His nails elongated and turned sharp like talons, and before the two men could even raise their guns to attack him, he swiped at them.
The deadly poison in his claws left no chance of survival for the two men, sending them collapsing to the ground in a matter of a few seconds. While Liu Che attacked the two men on the left. With his sound skills, he screamed so loudly in the ears of the two men that it was humanly impossible for them to hear his voice, but it was enough to make these men’s brains shatter and crumble under the intensity of the frequency and the pitch.
"Pathetic," he muttered when the men fell to the ground, with their ears bleeding. If he was being honest, he used one of his lowest-ranking skills. Who would have thought that these ability users would be so weak that they wouldn’t be able to deal with something so simple? He didn’t even get to show off his skills in front of his goddess. Compared to him, Meng Qibao looked much cooler.
Liu Che didn’t know that Bai Meiyue was not paying attention to him at all. In fact, all her attention was on the man who rushed to shoot her in the belly when he saw that his accomplices had been taken down. Angered by the audacity of the man, she shot a wave of boiling hot water at him. The water crossed a hundred degrees Celsius due to the anger that Bai Meiyue was feeling at that moment.
The man didn’t expect Bai Meiyue to attack him, and that too without any water resources. His eyes widened as he realised that they had severely underestimated their enemy, and that was the last thought he had in his mind just as the wave of hot water took him down. The excruciating pain was so bad that the man couldn’t even open his mouth to scream and was then reduced to nothing but a puddle of blood.
It didn’t even take them two minutes to deal with more than five men, leaving the leader of the thugs speechless. He looked at Bai Meiyue and the two men behind her with shock in his eyes. Regret started to turn his intestines green, but he had no way to escape the tragic situation in front of him.
The man was filled with regret, but he didn’t want to go down without a fight. He curled his lips and said to Bai Meiyue in mock courage, "You are good, but you will never be able to take me down!" Then, without missing a beat, he pivoted on his feet, creating more than a dozen mud soldiers from the dirt around the mansion. Three of the puppets moved towards Bai Meiyue as she was his target, while the others rushed at Liu Che and Meng Qibao to block them and slow the two men down until Bai Meiyue was killed.
"Don’t worry. I will make sure that your child will be able to live a good life," said the man with a little chuckle. He was still optimistic that he would be able to win this fight.
"Miss Bai!"
Seeing the situation in front of them turn serious, Meng Qibao and Liu Che tried to run toward Bai Meiyue, only to be blocked by the mud puppets. The two men wanted to deal with the puppets and rush to Bai Meiyue’s aid, but couldn’t because the puppets were relentless. If they dealt with one, another set of puppets would pop right out of the broken mud puppet; it was like opening a russian doll.
The two men drowned in the sea of mud puppets, leaving Bai Meiyue alone, which made the leader of the thugs quite proud.
"Good. It seems like you are indeed quite skilled," said Bai Meiyue with a nod. "It’s a pity that you are working for Yu Miaomiao. If you were smart enough to understand that working for me is better than working for her, then you might have lived a better life."
She raised her hand and created a large water python that, instead of attacking the mud puppets, swallowed them all. And before the man could create any more mud puppets, Ciyi attacked him with ice blades that sent the man toppling onto the floor.
Bai Meiyue waited for the man to crumble and then walked over to him; her eyes stared at the bleeding man, and she narrowed her eyes before saying to him, "Why did you have to bother coming here when I am not even bothering anyone and living my life? Was it worth putting your life at risk for some fame and power?"
"No...no..." the man couldn’t say that it was worth it. Not when he was so close to dying. He closed his eyes and sucked in a breath, trying to suppress the chill rising in his body by wrapping his arms around his body, but even with the temperature outside rising to inhuman degrees, it was impossible for the man to feel warm. Not when Ciyi had attacked him with the intention to kill him.
Humph, he wanted to kill my master; this is what he deserved. Try it again! Get up and try it again! Ciyi was furious with the actions of the man who had tried to kill her master.
If not for the fact that she was disdainful of getting the blood of the man in her mouth, she would have bitten him to death.
The man, on the other hand, raised his head and looked at Bai Meiyue; his heart was still unconvinced, and he said to her, "If...if I wasn’t careless, then you...you wouldn’t ...have won..."
