The speaker was, naturally, Ye Ming.
He had witnessed everything Xu Du had done. Now, it was his turn to clean up the mess.
"Ye... Brother Ye! You..."
Feeling the power emanating from his shoulder, Xu Du could hardly believe the changes within him.
Originally, after enduring Liu Mu's oppressive pressure, Xu Du's internal organs had sustained considerable internal injuries. But the moment Ye Ming's power entered his body, those injuries healed instantly.
This was truly unbelievable.
"Leave the rest to me!"
Ye Ming smiled, offering no explanation.
"Ah! Oh... Alright!"
Xu Du found his mind a little slow to catch up, feeling rather dazed.
Of course, he wasn't the only one in the scene feeling this way.
Take, for instance... Liu Mu.
His eyes, too, were filled with utter astonishment.
No one knew better than he how powerful the blow he had just delivered was.
To put it plainly, even a peak Martial King ancient martial artist might not have been able to withstand it head-on.
Yet, the young man before him had merely patted Xu Du's shoulder, completely nullified his attack, and even healed Xu Du's internal injuries.
This was utterly incomprehensible.
"Brat! I didn't expect you to have such miraculous abilities!" After a moment of shock, Liu Mu regained his composure.
However, he remained deeply puzzled.
After all, he hadn't sensed any aura from Ye Ming the entire time.
This was clearly... unusual.
"Oh?"
Ye Ming chuckled with a hint of devilish charm and said, "There might be many things you haven't expected."
Du Yuemian, standing beside them, knew that Liu Mu and his disciple were finished the moment Ye Ming flashed that smile.
"Arrogant!"
At this moment, Yu Yin, seeing Ye Ming's insolence, immediately berated him, "How dare you speak so boastfully before my master, it's utterly ridiculous!"
"Enough! Yin'er!"
Liu Mu waved his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said, "Brat! Hand over the spiritual artifact that hides your aura, and perhaps I can spare your life!"
A spiritual artifact that hides one's aura?
Hearing this, Ye Ming was momentarily confused.
"Brat! Stop playing dumb with me, it's useless!" Liu Mu seemed to have seen through everything and said coldly, "If you didn't have a spiritual artifact hiding your aura, how could I not sense your presence!"
That's right!
This was Liu Mu's reasoning.
In his opinion, there were only two possibilities for not being able to sense someone's aura.
One: The person possessed a spiritual treasure that hid their aura.
Two: The person's strength far surpassed his own.
The second possibility was, of course, summarily dismissed.
A young man in his early twenties, how could his cultivation possibly surpass his own? This defied all logic.
Therefore, he concluded it must be the first possibility.
Upon hearing Liu Mu's words, Ye Ming finally understood. He then looked at Liu Mu with a hint of "ignorance" in his gaze.
"You... are truly intelligent!"
Ye Ming offered a sincere compliment.
"Hmph! Hurry up and hand over that spiritual artifact!"
By now, Liu Mu was growing impatient. True Qi began to gather in his withered palm.
Seeing his master's anger, Yu Yin revealed a cruel smile. His gaze towards Du Yuemian became even more lascivious.
At this moment, he was already envisioning certain scenes in his mind.
"Master! Don't kill him! I want him to watch as his woman grovels beneath me! Hahaha!"
Thinking of this, he could barely contain himself, a wild look in his eyes.
"Good!"
Seeing that Ye Ming had no intention of willingly handing over the artifact, Liu Mu's expression turned grim. He grinned and said, "Excellent! It's been a long time since I've tasted the delights of a young woman!"
"Hahaha! So Master is interested too! Then my master and I should… Ah!"
*Bang! Bang!*
Just as Yu Yin was shamelessly ogling Du Yuemian's shapely form, two faint thuds suddenly echoed through the air.
Judging by the amplitude of the sound, it was as if something had been forcefully ruptured.
"Ah! My eyes! Ah..."
It wasn't until Yu Yin let out piercing screams that the crowd pinpointed the source of the sound.
However, upon seeing what had happened, they nearly fainted from shock.
*Ugh!*
Some even began to vomit upon witnessing the bloody scene before them.
"Yin... er!"
Liu Mu turned his head and saw the blood-soaked Yu Yin. His mind went blank, and he stood frozen.
At this moment, Yu Yin's face bore two gaping bloody wounds. These wounds were precisely where his eyeballs should have been.
But there were no eyeballs to be seen.
On his face, besides the jarring redness, there remained sticky white matter, making for a particularly striking sight.
Other than Yu Yin's screams, there was absolute silence in the arena.
Everyone was stunned.
It wasn't until several minutes later that someone regained their senses and fled outwards.
The scene they had just witnessed had utterly shattered their psychological defenses.
It was too bloody, too cruel.
With one person fleeing, the rest followed suit, fearing they would be next.
In a mere ten seconds, only a handful of seven people remained.
"Those eyes must have made you very uncomfortable!"
Ye Ming gently held Du Yuemian's hand and said softly.
"Mm!"
Du Yuemian nodded, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a light that was "gratitude."
She didn't find the scene gruesome, nor did she consider Ye Ming's methods cruel. In Du Yuemian's heart, she only felt the immense sense of security her man provided.
"Young Master! Can you make him shut up? That sound is truly grating!"
Yu Yin's screams still echoed, causing Miss Yuemian to furrow her brows slightly, clearly displeased.
"That's easy!"
Ye Ming readily agreed to this request.
With a snap of his fingers, the space around Yu Yin warped slightly. A transparent spatial barrier then formed, isolating him.
His screams, naturally, vanished.
"Young Master is so amazing!"
Undeniably, our Young Master Ye had a way with wooing women amidst such a bloody spectacle.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became quite intimate.
But were their sweet conversation perhaps a little inconsiderate of those around them?
Take, for instance, the closest to him... the three Xu brothers.
"Um... Brother! May I... interrupt for a moment?"
Xu Du didn't know whether to break their intimate moment, his tone laced with extreme caution.
"Brother Xu! Is there something you need?" Ye Ming turned to Xu Du and asked with a smile.
"Uh... this..."
Xu Du didn't know what to say, so he pointed to the opposite side and said with a wry smile:
"He seems to be trying to escape!"
