Chapter 325: Reunion with Situ Luoyun (1)
The figure striking him was none other than Xue Tu, who had been slowly walking in. At this moment, Xue Tu was covered in fresh blood, it was unclear whether it was his own or his opponent’s, but a pair of eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty intent to kill.
The aura of bloodthirst on Xue Tu had intensified, obviously, he had dealt with all three Innate Experts outside. Ye Luo felt relieved enough to let Situ Ao run off because he knew through the Clairvoyant Eye that Xue Tu had already taken care of those three experts.
"Young Master!"
Seeing Situ Ao injured, the Innate Expert who was fiercely battling Ye Luo changed his expression and couldn’t help but exclaim, somewhat distracted.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Luo rushed forward, a sweeping leg kick lashing out. The opponent quickly reacted, swiping down with a sharp knife to block, but was shaken back step by step. Subsequently, Ye Luo leaped up, spinning in the air, his legs unleashing a barrage of kicks, sweeping out countless leg shadows.
Thump, thump, thump!
A series of dull sounds followed, and the opponent was kicked by Ye Luo, sending him flying out and landing not far from Xue Tu.
In an instant, Xue Tu’s eyes narrowed, a chilling murderous intent blossomed, and with one step forward, he fiercely stomped down.
The Innate Expert’s reaction was quick; just as the other’s leg was about to smash into his head, he executed a carp flip and sprang up. Xue Tu’s foot smashed viciously onto the marble floor, leaving a pit with cracks spreading all around.
Bang!
But at this moment, Ye Luo charged again, throwing another punch that landed squarely on the opponent’s dagger. With a crack, the dagger shattered, and the punch hit the opponent’s chest, sending him flying backward once more.
Squelch!
The blade pierced flesh, and a spurt of fresh blood shot out from the abdomen of the Innate Middle Stage expert; Xue Tu stood behind him, thrusting the short dagger in his hand directly into his abdomen, completely finishing off this individual.
Seeing the last Innate Middle Stage Guard expert dead, Situ Ao’s expression turned exceptionally ugly, his demeanor no longer proud and domineering but becoming somewhat panicky and frightened.
"You... you have some nerve, daring to kill a member of the Situ Family?"
Situ Ao looked at Ye Luo and Xue Tu, visibly frightened, his body trembling slightly.
A cold sneer appeared on Ye Luo’s lips as he walked over slowly, his foot grazing Situ Ao’s hand, which elicited a scream of agony from him.
The other hand was about to strike at Ye Luo when Xue Tu burst forward, the short dagger in his hand now resting against Situ Ao’s throat, causing his face to be filled with fear as he dropped his attack.
Immediately after, Ye Luo took the box from his hand, scanning it with the Clairvoyant Eye, indeed inside was the emerald.
"You’ve got the emerald now, you can let me go," Situ Ao said, his voice trembling.
"Let you go, and then you gather people to come after me, trying to snatch the emerald back?" Ye Luo curled his lip and scoffed.
In a flash, Situ Ao’s complexion changed; that was exactly his plan. As soon as Ye Luo set him free, he would immediately summon experts from the Situ Family to kill Ye Luo in revenge. He did not anticipate his thoughts being seen through by Ye Luo.
"If you let me go, we’ll be even. I won’t seek trouble with you anymore," said Situ Ao in a deep voice.
"Sorry, I don’t believe a word from someone like you at all. I believe only dead men will not cause trouble, so, my apologies," Ye Luo said with a cold laugh.
Situ Ao’s complexion turned completely, his eyes flickering with panic as he repeatedly said, "You... you can’t kill me, if you kill me, my father will investigate and he definitely won’t let you go."
"Well, I guess you won’t get to see that. Kill him!" Ye Luo coldly commanded, and Xue Tu’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. He brandished his dagger, ready to thrust it down, while Situ Ao’s pupils dilated, despair flashing in his eyes.
"Hold on!"
Suddenly, a crisp female voice rang out within the villa, and a figure strode in, wearing a long red dress, exuding an aura of nobility and charm. It was none other than Situ Luoyun.
"Miss Situ, why have you come?"
Ye Luo looked toward Situ Luoyun with a hint of surprise and spoke.
"Sister, you’re here, save me, save me." Seeing Situ Luoyun appear, Situ Ao immediately began to shout loudly.
"Sister?" Ye Luo looked at Situ Luoyun with some surprise. They really were family.
"Situ Ao, now you know to call me sister. You never regarded me as one before," Situ Luoyun walked over and sneered at Situ Ao, who showed an extremely awkward expression.
"You’re family, huh." Ye Luo commented with a curl of his lip.
"He is my second uncle’s son," Situ Luoyun said calmly, her eyes filled with a chilling light as she looked at Situ Ao.
"Oh, I see." Ye Luo finally understood.
Situ Luoyun looked at Ye Luo and said, "Could you possibly spare his life for my sake?"
"You seem to hate him quite a bit. Why would you want to save him?" Ye Luo asked, not understanding, looking at Situ Luoyun. He could see the deep hatred in her eyes. Clearly, in Situ Luoyun’s heart, Situ Ao was not family but an enemy.
"His father is the Clan Leader of the Situ Family. Once you kill him, you’ll definitely face the madness of the Situ Family’s relentless pursuit. With your current strength, you’re no match for the Situ Family. If my second uncle loses his mind, it might even bring disaster upon those around you," she said earnestly to Ye Luo.
Situ Luoyun spoke with a solemn expression.
"It seems you’re concerned about me." Ye Luo revealed a mischievously charming smile and then said, "Fine, since Miss Situ has spoken, I’ll spare this guy’s life, but to prevent this dog from barking, I need to do something."
Ye Luo wore a malicious grin as he looked at Situ Ao, and took out a medicine bottle from his person, pouring out a white pill and throwing it directly into Situ Ao’s mouth. With a slap of his hand, Situ Ao immediately swallowed the pill. His complexion changed as he stared at Ye Luo.
"What... what did you make me eat?"
"Poison, a poison that can instantly make you bleed from all seven orifices and die," Ye Luo stated playfully.
"You..." Situ Ao’s eyes bulged as he looked at Ye Luo.
"Moreover, this poison can only be cured by me. No matter how skilled any other doctor is, they will not be able to cure it. If something happens to me, you’ll only have one way to die."
Ye Luo patted Situ Ao’s face with a cold laugh, then waved his hand, prompting Xue Tu to put away the short dagger.
