Chapter 146: A Night of Madness
At the foot of Cat's Ridge.
Six bandits were eyeing Little Bell like a pack of wolves watching a lamb about to be devoured.
Especially the leader, whose eyes were filled with lewd desire, even drooling.
"Hey, baby, I guess Heaven must feel sorry for us since we haven't touched a woman in a long time, sending you, such a beautiful lady..."
"Is that so?" Little Bell chuckled lightly, deliberately twisting her delicate body in front of him and sweetly asking, "Which part of me do you think is the most beautiful?"
"Uh, your little face is beautiful, your eyes are beautiful, and that pair up front is even more beautiful. Hehe, every part of you is beautiful. Come here, let me hold you!" The leader said as he lunged forward like a greedy tiger.
Whoosh—bang!!!
The leader felt a blur before his eyes as something tripped him. He stumbled and fell face-first into the ground, hitting his head on a tree stump. His head buzzed, and he nearly fainted.
Shaking his head, he spat out some dirt.
With a bruised face, he got up from the ground, standing there like a crooked tree, looking around. Where did the beauty go?
"Did any of you see where she ran off to?" The leader glared at his companions with wide eyes, asking them impatiently.
They all stared blankly and shook their heads; none had seen her.
Suddenly, a tinkling laugh echoed from above.
They looked up in shock.
Unbeknownst to them, Little Bell was sitting on a branch of a tall tree over ten feet high, bare feet dangling. One hand held a pair of crystal high heels while the other held up her skirt as she swung her long legs back and forth.
Everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment. Could she fly? In the blink of an eye, she had already perched herself on the treetop.
Shaking his head, the leader looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief.
But this girl was too tempting. Sitting in the tree, her legs swung back and forth, and he desperately wanted to catch a glimpse beneath her skirt. Unfortunately, it was too dark between the branches; he squinted but saw nothing.
Gulp!
The leader swallowed hard.
"Come up here, come on!" Little Bell winked at him and giggled.
Damn it, is she playing with me?
A cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes.
He dropped the knife in his hand, spat into his palm with a "pfft," rubbed his hands together, tightened his belt, and without saying a word, dashed to the tree and began to climb up quickly.
This guy seemed to be an expert at climbing trees; he hugged the trunk and scrambled up faster than a monkey.
The brothers below cheered him on in unison:
"Big Brother, rise up! Quickly catch that girl!"
"Yeah, haha! Little beauty, once you fall into my big brother's hands, even if you can fly, you won't escape!"
"Haha! Let's see what new tricks this girl can pull!"
At this moment, the leader had already reached the top of the tree. Just as he stretched out his hand to grab one of Little Bell's feet, she let out another charming laugh and suddenly soared into the air like a large bird. Her clothes fluttered as she traced a graceful arc in the moonlight and gently landed on the ground from over ten feet high like a butterfly.
"Catch her!" The leader shouted in frustration from atop the tree.
His subordinates immediately lunged at the little bell. Quick as lightning, they moved like shooting stars. Their skills were impressively fierce!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of punches erupted like firecrackers.
The boss painfully closed his eyes, grinding his teeth in frustration. How could these fools not understand the importance of cherishing beauty? They were supposed to capture her, but instead, they unleashed a storm of fists. Could she possibly endure this?
Such a delicate beauty; he wanted to enjoy her properly!
But as the cries of agony filled the air, he opened his eyes again, only to be stunned by the scene before him.
His subordinates were rolling on the ground, limbs broken and writhing in pain, wailing incessantly.
Since they had sworn brotherhood years ago and escaped from prison, they had roamed from place to place, committing numerous crimes and bloodshed. They had faced armed police multiple times and always managed to break through without encountering any real opponents. How could they be defeated tonight by a woman who looked so weak?
Incredible!
How could this happen?
A glimmer of shock flashed in his pupils, quickly replaced by rage.
"You filthy woman, just watch how I will destroy you!"
Whoosh!
Veins bulged on the boss's forehead as his eyes filled with murderous intent. Like an eagle spreading its wings, he suddenly swooped down from the tree.
Swish, swish, swish!
But before he could steady himself on the ground, he saw a series of fireballs shoot out from the little bell's palm and land on the ground. In an instant, the five figures lying there were completely obliterated.
This... terror suddenly surrounded the boss. Originally intending to pounce forward and deal with this woman in one go, he now trembled all over, his hands and feet cold. The woman standing in front of him—was she even human?
Who has ever seen a person throw fireballs from their hands and extinguish someone in an instant?
"Ah—"
He let out a sharp scream and turned to run, but unexpectedly, the beautiful woman flickered and blocked his path.
"You... you... you..." The boss's face twitched, his eyes wide with disbelief. First came resentment and unwillingness, followed by panic, horror, and fear, rendering him unable to utter a complete sentence.
In that moment, he felt as if he had plunged into an ice pit; it was so cold that he had never experienced such chill before.
But before he could kneel on the ground and beg for mercy from the woman whose lips still curled into a smile, a soft whistling sound suddenly pierced the air as a fireball flew towards him...
At the foot of Cat's Ridge, silence instantly returned, as if nothing had ever happened. The mountain breeze gently rustled, the pine trees whispered softly, and the moonlit peaks rolled like a serene ink painting.
The wind carried the night as it glided slowly under the watery moonlight.
Little Bell looked around at the desolate surroundings and smiled to herself. Just as she was about to leave, her gaze unintentionally fell to the ground, her eyes suddenly narrowing.
On the ground where the boss had been killed lay a bead that shimmered with a black light under the moon. Curiously, she picked it up.
Her fireballs were crafted from special Spirit Energy; no matter how hard something was, it would turn to ash upon encountering her fireballs. What was this object that did not fear her True Fire of Spiritual Essence?
She discovered that this "bead" emitted not light but an extremely evil Spiritual Energy.
—Evil Spirit Pearl?
Clearly, this Evil Spirit Pearl had fallen from that so-called boss. But how could he possibly possess such a thing?
The car stopped at Jade Maiden Town. Xiao Yun tossed a thousand yuan to Fake Li Kui with a light smile and said, "Big brother, thank you for bringing me here!"
"You... you're not going to take care of your wife?" Fake Li Kui accepted the money but still asked reluctantly, his eyes filled with disdain and heartbreak.
Sweat! Xiao Yun suddenly felt that Fake Li Kui was quite lovable.
In this world, there are many timid people who often choose to escape when faced with danger. However, sometimes in specific situations, they show their extremely kind side.
"Thank you, big brother. You're a good person!" Xiao Yun patted Fake Li Kui on the shoulder.
Sometimes, good people can become crazy.
Just as Xiao Yun turned to leave, Fake Li Kui's pupils suddenly constricted, and his eyes turned red, almost dripping with blood, like a wolf that hadn't eaten meat for days.
In his hand, a blade over a foot long appeared out of nowhere.
—Xiao, your time of death has come!
The car door quietly opened, and he suddenly lunged at Xiao Yun's back like a whirlwind...
Xiao Yun seemed completely unaware of the approaching danger. With his hands in his pockets and an indifferent expression, he muttered to himself, "Tonight is destined to be crazy!" The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
