Chapter 406: Where Do You Come From?

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Withering Heart was described in great detail in Lunatic Guan's chip, enough to make Ye Chong suspect that it was one of Lunatic Guan's own inventions. That was how Ye Chong managed to identify the drug the moment he smelled it.

Inhaling Withering Heart carelessly, even in small amounts, would have highly detrimental effects. For someone who knew so much about Withering Heart like Ye Chong, he was aware of the consequences.

Since his life was threatened, Ye Chong retaliated.

The truth was, Ye Chong was not too angry about it. These situations were normal for him. On the contrary, he was feeling very calm. He was more interested in the motive behind the woman's attack. His reckless killing in the past had taught him much, and he had since learned to think before jumping to conclusions. Besides, this woman was most likely from May's Night Ridge. He was not intimidated by May's Night Ridge per say, but Lunatic Guan had asked to visit the place, so he decided to tread with care.

If it was his younger self, Ye Chong would probably have just killed the woman who ambushed him outright. Now, however, Ye Chong did not mind stopping at some light form of punishment.

His cold, severe voice reverberated in the air, and everyone around him felt shuddered involuntarily!

”You … You …” Shi Mingbei stuttered through gritted teeth. She was afraid. All her life she had been bold and daring where others wavered, but now she was truly afraid!

”B*stard, what's there to proof by bullying a woman?” The man was loud, but Ye Chong could hear the fear and weakness behind his facade.

In any case, Ye Chong did not pay much attention to the man. He was focused entirely on the woman who had ambushed him.

”How dare you!” A low and menacing voice was heard.

Suddenly, Ye Chong felt danger coming towards him. He leapt to the side without hesitation.

Swish swish swish!

Half a meter away from where he stood, green smoke wafted into the air. There was a sharp, unpleasant smell coming from a small puddle of green liquid on the ground. The liquid corroded the floor, which turned charred black. The green smoke came from this small puddle.

What a powerful corrosive, definitely no less powerful than the Liquid of Shang!

Ye Chong watched the spot nervously.

A menacing looking middle aged man was looking at Ye Chong coldly. He wore a brown, old shirt, which Ye Chong could see was full of patches. His sunken cheeks gave him an angular look.

Ye Chong did not fight back. That move was obviously just a warning. If the man was serious, that green liquid would land exactly where he was standing, and not half a meter off the mark.

Guan Qingheng's expression turned respectful when he saw the middle aged man.

The middle aged man studied Ye Chong for a moment, and went straight to Shi Mingbei. He crouched down, examined her, and muttered, ”Hmm, comminuted fracture, odds of recovery are at 70 percent.”

When Shi Mingbei saw the middle aged man, she immediately turned docile like a kitten, and much of the tension was drained from her face.

”What happened?” The middle aged man finally stood up and asked plainly. Both Guan Qingheng and Shi Mingbei did not reply.

”Who are you?” Ye Chong stared fixedly at the newcomer. The middle aged man felt very familiar, with an aura that he could identify as Lunatic Guan's. This aura made Ye Chong feel threatened.

The middle aged man turned around and scrutinized Ye Chong closely.

What sharp eyes! Ye Chong did not expect an alchemist do have such piercing eyes.

”Are you the one who injured her?” The coldness in the middle aged man's voice could not be missed.
