"Lord Bai!"
Okamoto Masao suddenly knelt before Bai Zihui.
"As long as you spare me, I'll pledge my allegiance to you, even be your dog!"
"Whatever you ask me to do, I will do!"
After speaking, he bowed his head firmly to the ground, not daring to move.
This scene shattered Yue Rushuang's perception!
The masters of the past were aloof and their authority was not to be challenged.
But now...
A high-level master from Great Ying actually knelt before Bai Zihui, willing to be a dog. This undoubtedly proved that everyone was humble and lowly in the face of death!
Zhan Tianlong, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, was also stunned by this scene.
The countless wolf soldiers behind him were also stunned.
Bai Zihui himself was slightly taken aback.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the moment of his daze, Okamoto Masao moved.
Countless black sharp lights, with lightning speed, shot towards Bai Zihui's throat, brow, and heart – all vital spots.
If even one hit, Bai Zihui would be dead without a doubt!
Okamoto Masao was driven to desperation.
No one wanted to die, especially not him, a highly respected master who was admired by thousands.
Since Bai Zihui was unwilling to spare him.
Okamoto Masao deliberately knelt and begged for mercy to make Bai Zihui let down his guard, and then launched a sneak attack at such close range!
His kneeling posture was indeed pathetic.
But if he could survive, he could simply kill everyone present, and no one would ever know.
If he couldn't survive...
Then thinking about face would be utterly meaningless.
"Die!"
"Bai Zihui, you forced me into this!"
Okamoto Masao's lips curved into a sinister smile, and a chilling killing intent filled his narrow, triangular eyes.
"Junior Brother, be careful!"
"Young Master!"
Yue Rushuang and Zhan Tianlong's eyes instantly widened in horror.
The sky full of silver needles flashed by in an instant.
In the next moment, they would pierce countless holes in Bai Zihui.
"A mere trick."
Bai Zihui sneered and pushed his right hand forward.
An invisible wall of qi materialized out of thin air, blocking all of Okamoto Masao's black silver needles.
"Releasing internal energy to form a wall!"
Okamoto Masao's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart filled with boundless terror.
Immediately, he turned and fled.
"Can you escape?"
Bai Zihui waved his hand, and countless silver needles, as if they had eyes, shot towards Okamoto Masao's back.
Okamoto Masao felt the killing intent behind him and instinctively glanced back.
Seeing the sky full of silver needles, his soul almost flew out of his body.
Puff, puff, puff...
All the silver needles embedded themselves into his body, and Okamoto Masao died on the spot.
A generation's master, thus perished!
The scene fell into silence.
Yue Rushuang and Zhan Tianlong knew Bai Zihui was strong.
But they never imagined he would be this strong, easily killing a martial arts master as if slaughtering pigs and dogs.
Everyone stood frozen for a moment.
It wasn't until Bai Zihui twisted off Okamoto Masao's head that they snapped back to reality.
"Tianlong."
"Take this to the capital."
"Warn them not to meddle with those around me."
He spoke these words with a casual air, yet they carried immense weight.
Without strength, the fiercest threats are dismissed as mere bluster.
With great strength, even a glance is analyzed repeatedly, causing unease!
"Yes!"
Zhan Tianlong immediately took Okamoto Masao's head and left.
Proud and high-spirited!
"Junior Brother, I was so scared just now!"
Yue Rushuang patted her chest, exhaling a long sigh of relief.
Bai Zihui looked at her reproachfully, and his words of concern poured out like a machine gun.
"Fifth Senior Sister, you were too reckless!"
"Do you know how worried I was about you!"
"If Ouyang Wushuang had taken you away, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"
"Someone like Ouyang Wushuang is trash; I could punch eight of him to death with one blow. Why did you have to humble yourself and beg him?"
Yue Rushuang was happy to hear his words of care.
But seeing his angry expression, she felt like teasing him: "What, Junior Brother, are you jealous?"
Bai Zihui was speechless, not knowing how to respond.
"In short!"
"No more acting impulsively from now on. Let me protect you all, understand?"
A subtle curve formed on Yue Rushuang's lips.
"I understand."
"Junior Brother is a great master now."
"You can protect us..."
The two chatted and laughed, returning to Tenglong Bay.
Bai Zihui, smelling of blood, went to wash up first.
He had barely started when a slender figure suddenly slipped into the bathroom; it was Yue Rushuang.
"Fifth Senior Sister, what are you doing here!"
In the bathtub, Bai Zihui looked astonished and at a loss.
Yue Rushuang closed the door and said matter-of-factly, "What else? Helping you scrub your back!"
Saying that, she reached out to grab Bai Zihui's bath towel.
Bai Zihui froze and shrank back.
Then, he said hesitantly, "Second Senior Sister, this... isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Yue Rushuang snatched the bath towel without any hesitation. "When you were injured before, didn't I always help clean and bandage your wounds?"
"Why are we being so distant now?"
Hearing the implied reproach in her words, Bai Zihui dared not insist further.
He tacitly agreed.
At present, Bai Zihui turned around and lay prone.
Yue Rushuang placed the bath towel in the water to soak, and gently began to scrub Bai Zihui.
Her movements were still the same as before.
Gentle and meticulous.
For a moment.
The bathroom was filled only with the occasional sound of splashing water and the beating of two hearts.
It was so clear.
Now, in such close proximity, Bai Zihui could smell the faint musk on Yue Rushuang.
Coupled with the occasional smooth touch of her fingertips...
He felt a surge of restlessness.
"Turn around."
Yue Rushuang suddenly said.
Bai Zihui obediently turned over.
This way, Bai Zihui could no longer lie prone, and she couldn't scrub his chest, so he had to sit cross-legged in the water.
Yue Rushuang rested one hand on the edge of the bathtub and used the other to wash Bai Zihui.
The two were incredibly close.
They could even feel each other's breaths.
Suddenly, Yue Rushuang's supporting hand slipped, and she tumbled into Bai Zihui's embrace.
Bai Zihui instinctively reached out to support her.
As he extended his hand, it brushed against a soft, yielding object.
Yue Rushuang's face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
Bai Zihui froze, unsure whether to retract his hand or continue supporting her.
Creak!
Just then, someone else pushed open the bathroom door from outside.
Yue Rushuang was startled and, with lightning speed, pushed Bai Zihui away and straightened up.
The newcomer was Ji Xueyun.
She glanced at the two of them and asked anxiously, "Junior Brother, did you kill the Ying Ren divine doctor, Okamoto Masao?"
Bai Zihui blurted out, "Yes."
"This is bad!"
Upon receiving his affirmative answer, Ji Xueyun's face turned ashen.
She took out her phone and opened a website, then presented it to the two of them.
Bai Zihui looked closely.
The Ming Mie Assassination Ranking!
And the first person on the list...
Great Xia's Bai Zihui, bounty of one hundred billion!
