Chapter 139 - 118 Seeking Justice_2
Han Sui gripped Rong Niang tightly, then stared at Li Yi with a look of wariness in his eyes that was more intense than ever.
Li Yi, now turning around to face the crowd in the dim, broken temple, seemed to have unusually bright eyes. He looked at Rong Niang, who had been captured, and slowly said, "Could you do me a favor and release this lady? Enough people from Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall have already died, and I don’t want to see another get hurt today. Whatever grievances there are, direct them at me."
After speaking, he slowly extended his hand and said, "I, Li Yi, shoulder the responsibility alone."
At that moment, Rong Niang’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Li Yi, showing a hint of brightness. She had heard about him from her junior sister. Li Yi was a disciple found by their master on Ghost Street, taught only two hours of boxing, but from the mouth of her junior sister, Zhao Qian, she knew that Li Yi was the son of a wealthy family: well-known, kind-hearted, fiercely loyal, somewhat foolish, and still someone who knew no martial arts.
Yet, why was this man completely different from the person her junior sister had described? His demeanor bold and mystical, exuded an emperor-like aura, resembling a ghost descended to earth, and commanded awe in others.
"Why should I show you face and release the remnants of Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall just because you said so?" Han Sui coldly said.
Li Yi strode toward him with a stern expression, "If you don’t release her, I will be the first to kill you."
"You dare threaten me? Take one more step, and I’ll immediately strangle her."
Han Sui applied more pressure with his palm, his fingers already embedding into Rong Niang’s flesh, her pale neck starting to bleed. It would only take a bit more force to crush her windpipe and kill her on the spot.
Rong Niang’s face turned red from suffocation, barely able to breathe, but still, she struggled to say, "Master brother, don’t worry about me. Kill him and avenge the others from the martial hall..."
"Shut up." Han Sui snapped.
