275: I'll kill you one more time!

The surroundings went quiet for a moment, only to be met with even more mockery, as everyone assumed she had escaped from a psychiatric hospital.

"Oh, wow! You're going to slaughter us? Did you escape from the Xiangyang Psychiatric Hospital?"

"Exactly, who are you trying to scare? I'm calling the police right now and letting the officers take a look at you, this 'martial arts master'!"

"Raising a centipede as a pet, bringing it out to scare people, and now threatening to kill? I think she's seriously ill!"

"If your brain isn't working right, don't let yourself out to eat; you're ruining my appetite!"

...

Li Mei grew even angrier, her chest heaving violently as her nails dug deep into her palms.

She never imagined that she, a disciple of the Miao Sect, would be reduced to the point of being surrounded and mocked by a crowd of ordinary people like ants.

A humiliating disgrace!

It's all because of Ye Chen!

Because of these sluts in front of her who are associated with him!

"You... are courting death!!!"

She completely lost her reason and let out a venomous shriek. She suddenly reached to her waist, and with a flash of cold light, a peculiarly shaped scimitar was unsheathed.

Once the blade was out, a chilling murderous aura instantly permeated the air, and the temperature in the restaurant seemed to drop by several degrees.

The diners, who had been laughing and gossiping, all changed expressions, exclaiming as they scrambled backward, knocking over tables and chairs in the process.

Only then did they realize that the somewhat crazed-looking woman before them seemed... to really be a lunatic!

Otherwise, what normal person would carry a knife around and constantly scream about killing people?

Ignoring the terrified gazes of the entire room, Li Mei locked her sinister eyes onto the pale-faced Xiaoya and closed in step by step.

"Today, I will kill you, you little bitch, and then I will kill your boss!"

"None of you... will be able to run!"

Her voice was hoarse, filled with bone-deep hatred.

The surrounding people were completely stunned, shocked and afraid, feeling even more absurd.

This woman... really is a psychiatric patient!

Otherwise, why would she kill someone over a bug?

This logic is just too bizarre!

Xiaoya was trembling all over, instinctively backing away, when her heel tripped on a chair, and she almost fell.

Seeing this, Yi Yue, though also afraid, forced herself to stay calm. She stepped forward quickly, shielding Xiaoya behind her and blocking Li Mei.

Her face was slightly pale, but she tried her best to keep her voice steady: "Miss, whatever the issue is, we can talk about it slowly. Whether it's calling the police or compensation, please don't hurt anyone! These are all regular customers here, please don't be rash!"

Li Mei stopped, tilted her head to look at Yi Yue, and a twisted smile appeared on her face.

"Talk slowly?"

"You tell me to talk slowly, but who gave me a chance to talk slowly?"

"When that beast Ye Chen killed my whole family and destroyed everything I had, did he ever give me a chance to talk slowly?!"

"Today, you will pay the price for the sins he committed!!!"

Before she finished speaking.

She flicked her wrist, and the scimitar traced a dark blue arc, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it pierced straight toward Yi Yue's heart!

This strike was fast and ruthless, clearly intended to kill with one blow!

Yi Yue's pupils constricted. She was just an ordinary woman; how could she dodge this strike, which was imbued with true energy?

She could only watch in despair as the blade approached.

"Watch out!"

At this critical moment, a burly, bald man nearby, who had been mocking her just a moment ago, perhaps fueled by a surge of adrenaline or perhaps unable to watch any longer, lunged forward. He opened his arms, intending to embrace Li Mei and knock her away!

His intention was good, but... he underestimated the chasm-like difference in strength between the two.

Li Mei didn't even turn her head; she simply swung her left leg backward like a steel whip.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the bald man's massive body, as if hit by a truck, flew through the air while screaming, crashing heavily onto another dining table three meters away!

"Crash — crack!"

Cups, plates, and dishes shattered instantly, with broth and vegetables splashing everywhere. The bald man lay slumped in the mess, blood spilling from his mouth and nose, having passed out instantly.

Silence! A deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned by this terrifying scene; there was no trace of mockery left on their faces, only boundless fear.

A single kick sent a two-hundred-pound man flying? Is... is this even human?!

So, this woman really did have skills! And she was truly capable of killing!

Panic spread like a plague, and people screamed as they surged toward the exit, wanting to escape this dangerous place.

Looking at the fear in Yi Yue's eyes, a sick sense of pleasure rose in Li Mei's heart.

She had no patience to keep playing.

"Now, it's your turn!"

She gave a sinister grin, her figure flickering into an afterimage, and the poisoned scimitar in her hand was raised again, aiming straight for Yi Yue's throat!

Yi Yue's mind went blank as the shadow of death loomed over her.

However — just as the dark blue blade tip was less than half a foot from Yi Yue's throat.

A cold voice, as if coming from the depths of the Nine Nether Hells, suddenly and clearly rang out through the noisy, chaotic restaurant.

"Li Mei. If you dare to move one more step... I don't mind killing you again."

Li Mei's scimitar paused, and she whipped her head around to look! At the entrance of the restaurant, where people were rushing about in a panic, Ye Chen appeared, with Chu Niubi following beside him.

"Ye Chen! Chu Niubi!"

Li Mei's pupils constricted, and then a monstrous, venomous madness surged onto her face. "You... actually dare to deliver yourselves to my doorstep? Good! Good! Good! Today I will finish you both off together to vent the hatred in my heart!!!"

Before she finished speaking, she ignored Ye Chen entirely. The momentum of the scimitar in her hand did not decrease; instead, she continued to stab toward Yi Yue's throat even more ruthlessly!

She hated Ye Chen to the core and wanted to make him watch with his own eyes as the person he cared about died in front of him!

"Courting death."

Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, and his figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

In the next instant, he appeared beside Li Mei and kicked out with his right foot.

"Bang!" With a dull thud, Li Mei didn't even see Ye Chen's movement; she only felt a terrifying force hit her ribs. Her entire body, as if struck by a high-speed train, screamed as she spat out blood and flew backward!

"Boom!" Her delicate body slammed heavily into the inner wall of the restaurant, and the thick wall was actually cracked with several spiderweb-like fissures, causing dust to fall down rustlingly.

Li Mei slid limply to the ground, vomited another mouthful of blood, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

Everything happened too fast. Li Mei, who had been murderous just a moment ago, was already slumped at the base of the wall like a dead dog.

The diners, who had been fleeing in a panic, stopped in their tracks, looking over with lingering fear.

The next second, someone recognized Ye Chen and immediately let out a low gasp.

"It's... it's that Ye Chen! The one from the video online!"

"That's right! It's him! The tough guy who punched the 749 Bureau and kicked the frame-up artists!"

"Oh my god... he actually came! Now we're saved!"

"The crazy woman just now was shouting that she wanted to kill him? Isn't that like showing off one's blade in front of Guan Gong?"

...

Exclamations arose all around. Quite a few people even quietly raised their phones, wanting to record this rare sight.

Ye Chen ignored the surrounding gazes and first walked over to Yi Yue, asking with concern, "Yi Yue, are you okay?"

Yi Yue had just regained her composure, but seeing Ye Chen, the fear in her heart had already dissipated for the most part. She shook her head gently: "I'm... I'm okay."

"Hmm." Ye Chen nodded, then turned around and walked step by step toward Li Mei.

Watching the figure walking toward her, Li Mei gritted her teeth and fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. She tried to struggle, but ended up going limp again.

Ye Chen stopped in front of her and said indifferently, "I didn't expect that you were quite tough; you actually didn't die."

"However, luck won't always favor the same person." "This time, you won't be so lucky."

"Ye Chen!!!" Li Mei shrieked, "I will kill you! I will make you pay with your blood! Even as a ghost, I won't let you go!!!"

"Pah! You?" Chu Niubi, standing nearby, couldn't help but spit, "Li Mei, I used to think you were just greedy and stupid, but now I realize you're also crazy! You didn't drown after being kicked into the sea by my master; instead of finding a place to hide, you dare to come back and throw your life away? Do you really think you're an unkillable cockroach?"

Li Mei glared furiously at Chu Niubi: "You damn simp! If it weren't for Ye Chen, even if you licked until you died, you would be nothing more than my spare tire!"

"Damn it!" Chu Niubi was enraged and was about to roll up his sleeves to fight. But Ye Chen had already smiled and spoken.

"Don't worry." "When you go down there and reunite with your grandfather, you two can discuss properly whether or not to let me go."

Li Mei shuddered violently, a look of shock appearing on her face: "What did you say? You killed my grandfather???"

"He came to Xiamen City himself to harm my people with his Gu arts," Ye Chen said indifferently, "So, he died."

Li Mei's face darkened, and the rage in her heart soared to the sky. Grandfather is dead too? And he also died at the hands of Ye Chen?

"Ah — !!!" Li Mei let out a shrill scream, her eyes instantly bloodshot. The next moment, she, like a vengeful spirit in its final death throes, leaped up from the ground and lunged at Ye Chen with a hideous expression!

"I'll fight you to the death!!!"
