"Wu! Wu!"
Ling Yue wanted to scream out and call for help! However, with her neck clenched, she couldn't even breath—how was she able to yell? Jiang Yi didn't release his Massacre Intent, but when he was infuriated, his body's instinctive killing aura was able to freeze Ling Yue. He had killed a lot of people, and his killing aura's terror might even be able to shock the martial artists who had once killed enemies—let alone this Ling Yue who was a flower that was grown in the imperial palace.
Jiang Yi was indeed infuriated. This Ling Yue came provoking him out of nowhere and wanted to recruit him. After getting rejected, she even tried to defraud him. It wasn't unreasonable for Jiang Yi to tease her little; he never had the intention to violate her. At this final moment, he released her; and she was able to fall out once she turned her head and called for someone to kill him.
