The mayor took the knife and weighed it in his hand.

He grinned maliciously as he approached Yan Ning step by step.

"In your next life, remember to be discerning and don't mess with the wrong people!"

The mayor raised the knife high, using all his strength.

He slashed down hard at Yan Ning's neck!

Yan Ning's pupils suddenly contracted.

My heart nearly jumped out of my throat.

Clang!!!

A sharp, piercing sound rang out.

The town mayor felt a violent tremor in his hand.

A tremendous recoil force traveled along the hilt of the knife.

The shock made his arm go numb!

He looked closely.

That thick machete was actually broken in two!

The blade tip fell to the ground with a clatter at Yan Ning's feet.

Everyone was stunned.

The town mayor was completely dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

He had this knife specially made by a blacksmith.

It's very thick; you could chop bones with it.

How could... how could it break?!

"Damn it! Is this some kind of ghost?!"

The mayor stared at the broken hilt of the knife in his hand, both shocked and furious, trembling with rage.

"Useless trash! Trying to fool me with this broken knife?!"

The thug was terrified and stammered:

"Mayor...this knife was just sharpened..."

"roll!"

The town mayor kicked the thug away, his face turning red with anger.

Like an enraged bull.

He glared fiercely at Yan Ning:

"Fine! Fine! You're the weird one! Your knife broke, huh? I'll strangle you!"

He threw away the broken hilt and rushed forward.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed Yan Ning's neck tightly.

Yan Ning was choked until she suffocated instantly.

His vision went black, his hands were bound, and he was completely unable to resist.

The mayor's fingers tightened like iron clamps.

She could feel her neck bones cracking.

Am I really going to die here...?

At this moment.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Several crisp cracking sounds suddenly rang out.

The thick hemp rope binding Yan Ning's wrists.

Suddenly it broke apart piece by piece, instantly disintegrating!

The mayor was pinching with all his might when he suddenly felt his hand go empty!

The immense inertia caused him to lose his balance.

He stumbled, like a clumsy wild boar.

With a "plop".

He fell face down and landed hard on his stomach, his mouth full of mud!

"Ouch!!!"

The mayor screamed in pain.

Yan Ning took a deep breath of the stale air.

He was coughing violently, his body trembling from lack of oxygen.

She scrambled backward as fast as she could.

She suddenly remembered what her master had said before.

He prayed to the King of Hell for Yan Ning's life, saying he could save her life if necessary.

Previously, Yan Ning thought that her master was joking.

I can't believe it's true!

"Ah!!! Grab her! Kill her!!!"

The mayor lay on the ground, furious, and roared without regard for his image.

His face was covered in mud and blood, and he looked utterly disheveled.

The thugs then realized what was happening.

They lunged menacingly at the weakened Yan Ning.

At this moment.

"Don't move! Police!!!"

A loud shout rang out at the entrance of the dilapidated kiln.

Several bright, blinding beams of light shot in suddenly.

The blows were delivered to the town mayor and his thugs.

"Ah! My eyes!"

The thugs were momentarily blinded by the bright light, and their movements became completely chaotic.

"Bang!" A chilling gunshot rang out.

The bullet hit the bricks on the roof of the cave dwelling.

Gravel fell in a flurry!

"Everyone! Cover your heads! Crouch down! Immediately!"

An authoritative command carries an unquestionable force.

The police arrived like divine intervention, instantly bringing the situation under control.

The thugs were terrified and immediately crouched down, covering their heads.

The town mayor, who was dizzy from the fall, was just about to get up.

He was pinned to the ground by two fierce-looking policemen.

The handcuffs snapped shut on his wrists.

"Let me go! Do you even know who I am?!"

The mayor is still struggling and shouting in vain.

In chaos.

A familiar figure broke through the crowd.

He was the first to rush to Yan Ning's side.

It's Xie Huaiye!

He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Yan Ning's trembling body.

Her voice was hoarse with the shock of surviving a disaster: "It's alright, Yan Ning! It's alright!"

"I can sense your location. The talisman on your feet and the one on my body are connected!"

He explained quickly.

His eyes anxiously examined the bruises on her neck:

"Sorry we're a little late..."

Yan Ning leaned against Xie Huaiye's chest, breathing heavily, completely exhausted.

The nerves that had been stretched to the limit finally relaxed.

My back was already soaked with cold sweat.

She looked at the soles of her shoes.

Before being arrested, she had a quick idea and stuck a tracking talisman on the sole of her shoe.

Fortunately, Xie Huaiye sensed it.

The knife breaks, the rope snaps, and the police appear out of nowhere...

Those few short minutes felt like walking back and forth between the gates of hell and back.

Yan Ning felt incredibly tired.

She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

...

I don't know how long I slept.

Yan Ning opened her eyes, the light making her squint.

The blurry shadow swayed, slowly becoming clearer.

The bedside was surrounded by a dense crowd.

Master Ye's face was directly above him, his brows furrowed in a frown.

Next to her was Ye Qingling, whose eyes were swollen like peaches.

Tears fell like a broken string of pearls.

Beside him, Xie Huaiye stood with his arms crossed.

His cold, stern face was tense, and he stared at her with a deep gaze.
