"You... you..."
Brother Snake looked at Ye Ling in terror, his face turning purple and green. He desperately gripped Ye Ling's fingers, trying to pry them open.
But no matter how hard Brother Snake struggled, Ye Ling's fingers remained unmoving.
Ye Ling wasn't exerting excessive force, but the constant pressure caused Brother Snake immense pain. He could only gasp for a tiny bit of air with all his might, barely sustaining his pathetic life.
Everyone in the office stared, dumbfounded. Ye Ling's ability to pull someone through the air defied all comprehension!
'Is he... an anomaly?' Du Ya Meng looked at Ye Ling with shock, still hesitant to believe what she was seeing.
When she was young, she had heard her grandfather talk about a group of anomalies in the world who possessed supernatural abilities, capable of killing from afar, flying through the heavens, and moving through the earth, omnipotent.
From ancient times to the present, anomalies had been like terrestrial deities, active throughout China, forming their own martial world.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic, social order became increasingly stable, and Chinese anomalies gradually went into hiding. Ordinary people no longer had the chance to witness these powerful individuals.
Du Ya Meng had always thought her grandfather's stories were just tales, that there was no such thing as supernatural power in the world!
But as she witnessed Ye Ling's display, all the stories her grandfather had told her flashed through her mind.
"The stories Grandpa told... they were all true!" Du Ya Meng murmured, feeling her mouth dry and her heart race.
"Help... me..."
Brother Snake pleaded hoarsely, managing to force out only a few words. His consciousness began to blur.
"Only when you die can it be resolved permanently," Ye Ling said with a smile, tightening his grip slightly and snapping Brother Snake's neck before tossing him aside.
The light of survival in Brother Snake's eyes quickly faded, and he ceased to breathe.
"Big Brother!!!"
Seeing Ye Ling actually kill Brother Snake, Overlord Bull's eyes reddened, and he roared.
Those outside, hearing the commotion from the office, rushed in, more than ten people, including five or six armed with guns!
"Give me the gun!!!"
Overlord Bull's eyes were bloodshot. He roughly snatched a handgun from a subordinate, aimed it at Ye Ling, and pulled the trigger: "I'll kill you!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Flames spat from the gun as Overlord Bull fired three shots at Ye Ling, the bullets roaring towards him.
But...
In the shocked gaze of everyone present, the three bullets stopped in mid-air, motionless.
"Back then... it was also three bullets that were fired at me, two in the lungs, one in the heart."
Ye Ling muttered to himself, seemingly recalling that rainy night six years ago on Earth.
At that time, he had been cornered by people from the Jiang family.
A killer wearing a baseball cap, whose face was obscured, had mercilessly shot him three times...
The washing of the heavy rain, the pain of not being able to breathe, the coldness of his body... even after sixty thousand years, he remembered it clearly.
Ye Ling stood up, walked to the three bullets, picked them up, and crushed them into powder!
Ye Ling mused, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen real bullets..."
"Mon... monster..."
Overlord Bull was terrified by Ye Ling's bizarre methods. His face was filled with dread as he retreated, urging his subordinates: "You... you guys shoot quickly, don't let him come over!"
Hearing Overlord Bull's command, those subordinates gritted their teeth and opened fire.
Gunshots echoed one after another, more than a dozen bullets whistling towards Ye Ling, but like the previous three, they all stopped in front of him.
"This... this..."
Du Ya Meng's body trembled slightly, her mind in turmoil.
What was happening now completely surpassed her imagination!
Guns were ineffective against Ye Ling... then what in this world could kill him!
"De... demon!"
Brother Snake's henchmen, seeing this, were utterly terrified. They dropped their guns and fled outside.
Overlord Bull was also stunned. Seeing his subordinates flee, he could no longer think about avenging Brother Snake. He turned and ran!
"Where are you going?"
Ye Ling suddenly blocked Overlord Bull's path.
"Spare... spare my life!"
Overlord Bull, terrified, fell to the ground, his body trembling.
Looking at Overlord Bull's shaking form, Ye Ling smiled, "Others can leave, but I see you are the second-in-command of this faction. If I let you go, there might be future trouble..."
Overlord Bull's courage was shattered. He immediately knelt before Ye Ling and kowtowed, "Immortal, spare my life! I truly dare not act rashly! Liu Lao Yao is Brother Snake's relative, and Brother Snake vowed to avenge Liu Lao Yao. This has nothing to do with me!"
"I swear to the Immortal that I will never step foot in the night market again. Whoever dares to trouble Shen Wei Wei, I will kill them!"
Overlord Bull even broke his own forehead as he kowtowed, fearing Ye Ling would take his head.
Seeing Overlord Bull like this, Ye Ling knew he had made his point.
He had no intention of killing Overlord Bull in the first place. After all, Brother Snake had over fifty thugs under him. If their leader was gone, those thugs would be released and would put Shen Wei Wei in even greater danger.
With Overlord Bull as the leader to help restrain them, it would be possible to guarantee that no one would trouble Shen Wei Wei.
Ye Ling picked up the gun Overlord Bull had dropped and pointed it at Overlord Bull's head.
"Im... Immortal..."
With the gun barrel at his head, Overlord Bull dared not move, sweat pouring down his face.
*Click!*
Ye Ling pulled the trigger. Overlord Bull trembled, his eyes tightly shut.
After a long wait, Overlord Bull found he was still alive. He cautiously opened his eyes and saw that Ye Ling had lowered the gun.
Overlord Bull exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Immortal, for sparing my life!"
"Remember what you said."
Ye Ling tossed the unloaded handgun aside and looked at Overlord Bull, saying calmly, "From now on, if even one thug appears in the night market area, I will find you."
"Y-yes, I understand! I will definitely keep an eye on my subordinates and absolutely guarantee the safety of the night market!"
Overlord Bull kowtowed repeatedly. The joy of escaping death filled his mind, and he didn't even notice that his pants were already wet from urine.
"Get out."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Overlord Bull dared not linger, fleeing in a panic, afraid Ye Ling would change his mind.
Within a few minutes, the entire nightclub was empty, with only a few service staff hiding in corners, trembling.
The gunshots from the office were enough to break many people's courage.
It wasn't until Brother Snake's men had all left that Du Ya Meng recovered her senses. She looked at the corpse lying in the office, swallowed nervously, and asked Ye Ling with a hint of fear, "Immortal, what about him?"
Even now, Du Ya Meng felt as if she were dreaming.
Ye Ling looked at Du Ya Meng and said, "Although your help was unnecessary, it was still well-intentioned. I should thank you."
With a casual wave of his hand, Brother Snake instantly turned into dust and vanished, leaving Du Ya Meng even more dumbfounded.
"N-no need to thank me..." Du Ya Meng's delicate body trembled continuously. Even the anomalies her grandfather spoke of were not as powerful as Ye Ling!
Was this truly an immortal?
After dealing with Brother Snake, Ye Ling walked to Du Ya Meng's desk, picked up the bank card with one million on it, and said with a smile, "I killed Brother Snake, and you will handle the subsequent troubles. Coupled with me taking this money, I owe you a favor."
Du Ya Meng was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
Although Brother Snake had Jiang Tian Hao's backing, he was essentially just a thug. The Jiang family would not fall out with the Du family for the sake of Brother Snake.
However, her Du family connecting with Ye Ling through this matter was a massive gain!
"No... no objections... Immortal, whatever amount you want, I'll give it!"
