Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 641: Killing Yi Zhangqing

Although Chuyi had told me to do nothing and just watch the fun, I couldn’t stand it. Holding the Invisible Needle,I aimed itat Yi Zhangqingandscreamed, “If you move, you will end like Ryuzawa Ichiro!”

As soon as I said that, One-Armed Dragon’s voice arose.“Qing, don’t worry. Do what you want. I want to see who can threaten you!”

He walked toward us. His face was fierce.“It’s a one-on-one match. Sinceyou’vejoined the competition, you will have to follow the rule. Kid,can’t bear to do that?”

“You…” I couldn’t snapbackat him. Myfaceturnedred.

He wasn’t wrong. Yi Zhangqing didn’t do anything against therulesof the match.However,I didn’t know what Chuyi wanted to do!

While I was still thinking, Yi Zhangqing groaned. The Ghost Cutter flew out of her hand. It turnedinto waves of cold lightsthat swarmedtoward Chuyi from every direction.

I wanted to use the Invisible Needle to help him, but One-Armed Dragon grabbed my arm. I couldn’t get rid of his grip no matter how hard I tried to wiggle out of it. Time seemed to stop movingat thismoment. Chuyi hadn’t done anything while thecold light from theGhost Cutterwasapproaching him.

“No!!!” Seeing Chuyi about to get hit, I screamed.

Atthis moment, Chuyi suddenly slumped on his knees as his wounds were too severe. Although it helped him dodge most of the cold lights, many beams had hit his stomach. Chuyi spurted blood, then felltothe ground. He didn’t move an inchafter that. The bronze whip in his hand was released from his grip. It rolledfar away.

“Good job, Qing! You’ve done a greatdealto our Longquan Villa!”

One-armed Dragon laughed while hurling me away. “We got that tough lad. You’re next!”

I didn’t mind him. I wanted to get up to help Chuyi. Strangely enough, I couldn’tmusteranystrength. It seemed all my boneshadsoftened. I couldn’t accept this! If I couldn’t move, Chuyi would die!

Yi Zhangqing looked at Chuyiand spatwith disdain.“Is he done already? I thought he was tougher!”

She got up and walked forward as she wanted to pick up the bronze whip. Butrightat thatmoment, something unbelievable happened. The bronze whip on the ground suddenly floated up and pierced through Yi Zhangqing’s stomach!

Ithappened in the blink of an eye. When I pulled myself together, Yi Zhangqing had a hole as big as a bowlin herbelly. Her internal organs spilled through the hole. Blood streamed down rapidly.

“What… What h-happened…”

She couldn’t believe her eyes. Herhandstriedto put her internal organs back into her belly, but it didn’t work. Shefelltothe ground and convulsed. A moment later, shestopped moving.

One-Armed Dragon,whowas so happyamomentago, was stunned. It took him a lot of time to get a hold of himself. He walked forwardand scoopedYi Zhangqing into his chest. He screamed and criedhis lungs out.

“Merciful Buddha! Merciful Buddha!”

Zen MasterBaimei’s voice came from behind. Hebrought his palmstogether in front of his chest. He closed his eyesand shookhis head. Then, he came to pull me up.

I hurriedly picked up the bronze whip. “Zen MasterBaimei, what happened?”

“Chuyi knew he couldn’t control the bronze whip. Moreover, hewasambushed by Yi Zhangqing. If he pulled back and forth with her, he wouldhave lost. That’s why he chose the most dangerous method, fusing withhisweapon!” Zen MasterBaimeisaidin a deep voice.

I was surprised. Fusing withaweaponwas a very special technique.To make it simple, it was likesending one’ssoul to theweapon, becoming one with itfor a short moment.Just a moment ago, the bronze whip had struck with its best force and pierced through Yi Zhangqing’s body;itwasa goodexample of how the technique worked.

However, onlyamaster with great attainment could dothis as there weremany bad consequences. For example, the user’s soul could receivea backlashfrom the otherworldly item. The other possibility was thatthe fusion couldn’t create the desired effect. If the user was careless, his soul could perish.

Besides, the most difficult requirement to use this technique was that a human couldn’t just extract his soul out of his body.It seemedChuyi hadn’t reachedsuch a level. Thatwaswhy he didn’t dodge Yi Zhangqing’s attacks. He had deliberately tortured his body to help his soul leave hisflesh.

I knew that Chuyiwould sacrifice his life for me and that he had always utilized his talents to help me, but I had never thought that he would use thismethod to fulfillmy wish.

I was bewildered for a long time. Then, I turned to Zen MasterBaimei and askedcoldly,“You knew he would do that... Is that whyyou let One-Armed Dragoncomehere tostop me? He was here to ensure that Chuyi’s plan would proceed smoothly, right?”

“Right,” admittedZen MasterBaimeiin a low voice.

Iraisedmy hand, about to hit him. However, before my hand reached his face, I stopped. My eyes turned watery.While shivering, I managed to say,“Damn it! Therewill beno next time!”

Then, I placed the bronze whip on Chuyi’s lap. Ilifted himand carriedhim outside. Zen MasterBaimeifollowed mequietly.Suddenly, One-Armed Dragon,who was cryingcrazily, gotup and ran after us. He looked at me with bloodshot eyesand spokethrough his gritted teeth. “Leave him here, and I won’t kill you later.”

This was thetime I feltthe most dangersince I had entered Fengdu.The bosses of the Ghost Market could scare us because they could rule over ourlives,but if onedidn’t care abouttheirlife,thisrule didn’tapply.

Although we were the archenemy, I understood the feelings One-Armed Dragon had for Yi Zhangqing.

Humans weren’t immovable trees. Who could be heartless for his wholelife?Just amoment ago, Yi Zhangqing and One-Armed Dragonwereridiculingme and Chuyi. Whowould havethought that the situation would changeso muchafter that?

We couldn’t avoid grudges and karma, especially while working asotherworldly merchants.So,I wouldn’t give Chuyi to him.

Still, Iwasn’thappyto seeOne-Armed Dragon inpain.

I answered him with a dark face.“One-Armed Dragon, youjust reminded me of the rules.Do you still remember them?”

“Damn you! If Qing lostfairly, I wouldn’t have stopped you! How did she die? HOWDID SHE DIE?!”

One-armed Dragon had tearsrolling downhis face. After roaring, he couldn’t speak anymore. He grunted and gaspedfor his breath like a wild animal.

“Chuyi’s attackwas rather special. But itwasn’tagainst therules,was it?”

Then, I ignored him. They were my enemies. If Yi Zhangqing hadn’t died, Zen MasterBaimeiandIwouldbe the onescrying right now.

One-Armed Dragon screamed behind me. I felt a wave of murderous aurahitmy nape. Zen MasterBaimeiimmediately wielded his mala beads.

Rightat thismoment, a red light appeared above our heads. I heard both Zen MasterBaimeiand One-Armed Dragonscreambehind me.

When I turned around, I saw them on the ground. Thebewitchingvoice of the Demon Kingresounded.
