"I can win!" the man in the cape said.
"I don't think so. His skills are definitely on par with yours. I know you're not convinced. Let's find an opportunity for you to spar with him," Dongfang Mei said with a smile.
A cold smile flickered across the face of the man in the cape.
It was clear that he didn't take Jiang Yi seriously.
"Did my mother send you to Jiang City for anything else besides protecting my safety?" Dongfang Mei suddenly asked the man in the cape.
"No!"
The man in the cape replied.
He never spoke more than twenty words at a time.
This man in the cape had no real name, only a nickname: Shadow.
Since his debut, Shadow had always been the bodyguard of Dongfang Mei's mother, Liu Hong.
Liu Hong had been attacked many times, and each time Shadow had easily dealt with all the assassins. His strength was immense.
Liu Hong, worried about the safety of her precious daughter Dongfang Mei, had sent Shadow to Jiang City.
Half an hour ago, upon learning that Liu Tianyu had lured Jiang Yi to the repair shop using a ruse, Dongfang Mei immediately rushed over with Shadow.
Dongfang Mei knew Jiang Yi's fighting skills were extraordinary, but she was still a little uneasy.
"You like him..." Shadow suddenly said.
"How did you know?" Dongfang Mei asked with a smile.
"The way he looks at you is different from how he looks at others," Shadow replied.
"I didn't expect you to be so clever. I always thought you were a dullard."
After speaking, Dongfang Mei's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi, and she took a deep breath.
"There are things I've never dared to hope for, and yet now I have them, and I have no way to keep them. I have a formidable love rival!"
The rival Dongfang Mei referred to was Ye Yanran.
"Then I'll kill that woman for you." A cold killing intent flashed in Shadow's eyes.
"No!" Su Dan novel network
Dongfang Mei immediately stopped him. "I want to win Jiang Yi's heart fair and square, not by such means. I don't want to leave a bad impression on Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi isn't an ordinary man; he requires an extraordinary approach."
Shadow fell silent, and the killing intent in his eyes slowly faded.
Inside the repair shop at this moment, over thirty disciples from the martial arts school had fallen.
In just a few minutes, only twenty-odd disciples remained.
The faces of these disciples were grim. They had taken money to solve troubles for others many times, and they had encountered countless martial artists. Each time they had easily resolved the situation, but this time, they had truly encountered a formidable opponent!
"Swish, swish..."
With a wave of his arm, Jiang Yi sent over twenty cold glints piercing through the air.
The silver needles accurately struck the acupuncture points of the martial arts disciples. Not a single one of the twenty-odd silver needles missed its mark.
The next second, all the martial arts disciples fell to the ground in succession, their cries of agony piercing the heavens.
Liang Heng and Liu Tianyu were stunned, their faces looking worse than if they had eaten excrement.
Jiang Yi's combat prowess far exceeded their expectations.
"All the people under you are useless! More than fifty men couldn't deal with Jiang Yi alone. In just three minutes, Jiang Yi took them all down!" Liu Tianyu roared in anger.
"This kid uses hidden weapons. It's impossible to guard against," Liang Heng said, frowning.
"I don't want to hear your excuses. If you can't kill Jiang Yi, you won't get a single penny," Liu Tianyu said, filled with rage.
"I'll deal with this brat myself. This time next year will be his death anniversary."
After speaking, Liang Heng clenched his fist and walked towards Jiang Yi.
Seeing that Liang Heng was finally making a personal move, Liu Tianyu's face revealed a cold smile.
In Liu Tianyu's opinion, Jiang Yi was doomed to die this time.
Liang Heng was known in the underworld as the Living Yama. Anyone he targeted had no chance of survival.
If Liang Heng wanted someone dead, they would surely die.
"Kid, you shouldn't have injured my martial arts school's disciples," Liang Heng said, looking at Jiang Yi as if he were already a dead man.
"Those words should be mine. You shouldn't have come looking for trouble with me for mere millions," Jiang Yi replied with a slight smile.
"Hmph!"
Liang Heng snorted coldly, picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and exerted force with his hand. The stone shattered instantly, turning into dust.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
It seemed Liang Heng did have some skill.
This was not a display of acrobatics; Liang Heng's right hand possessed immense strength.
"Hahaha..."
Liu Tianyu burst into laughter and said to Liang Heng, "Hall Master Liang, I didn't expect you to have such abilities. You've impressed me. With you acting personally, Jiang Yi is bound to die."
These words brought a smug smile to Liang Heng's face.
Liang Heng was becoming a little overconfident.
Meanwhile, outside the factory gates.
Dongfang Mei's delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
She was very worried about Jiang Yi.
"Miss, do you need me to intervene?" Shadow asked.
Dongfang Mei remained silent.
"Mr. Jiang is definitely no match for that fellow," Shadow said with certainty.
"Don't reveal yourself for now. If you interfere, Jiang Yi will definitely be angry with me. Wait until Jiang Yi is defeated, then you can step in to help him," Dongfang Mei said.
"Yes!"
Shadow acknowledged.
A dagger slid from Shadow's sleeve into his hand.
In his estimation, Jiang Yi would soon be defeated by Liang Heng, and if he didn't intervene, Jiang Yi would surely die.
In the courtyard, Liang Heng had already made his move, throwing a punch at Jiang Yi.
If this punch landed on Jiang Yi, his bones would be shattered.
Jiang Yi did not dodge. He remained standing in place, motionless.
Everyone was stunned, wondering why Jiang Yi didn't dodge.
Soon, everyone understood, believing Jiang Yi knew he was doomed and had given up, standing there waiting for death.
But the next second, everyone was dumbfounded!
Jiang Yi had directly grabbed Liang Heng's fist and then kicked him in the stomach.
Liang Heng was sent flying backwards.
Everyone watched in astonishment. Liang Heng's formidable punch had been easily blocked by Jiang Yi, who then proceeded to kick him.
Liang Heng was completely stunned.
Before Liang Heng could recover, Jiang Yi was already in front of him.
"Crack..."
Jiang Yi delivered another kick to Liang Heng's head.
The spot where Jiang Yi kicked Liang Heng was precisely an acupuncture point on his head.
Liang Heng fainted on the spot.
Jiang Yi hadn't killed him, but even if Liang Heng woke up, he would be a crippled invalid, paralyzed from head to toe.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
Shadow's eyes widened in surprise.
He was a martial artist and knew the ferocity of Liang Heng's punch. He had never expected Jiang Yi to block it so effortlessly.
"He's too strong. I'm no match for him," Shadow said.
"The man I've set my sights on is naturally not an ordinary person."
Dongfang Mei's face showed a charming smile, tinged with amusement.
Meanwhile, after dealing with Liang Heng, Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon Liu Tianyu.
There was no one left to help Liu Tianyu now.
This repair shop had been abandoned for many years and was very remote. No one would come here. Even if Jiang Yi killed Liu Tianyu, no one would know.
