Let's move our attention back toward the current situation now.
While Ye Qian was surrounded by about ten people holding bats and sticks in their hands.
One of them scoffed at him with a devious grin.
"Brat, you shouldn't have stopped our boss from having fun with that woman."
"Now, though he will have fun with her; you will pay the price for poking your nose in his matters."
"Guys, let's beat him blue to let him know the consequences of offending our boss."
"Yeah! Beat him!"
"Break his limbs!"
The surrounding other thugs supported him with cheering.
Meanwhile, the leader was having his gaze fixed on Little Qing's mother with drool falling down his mouth.
Little Qing and her mother saw him looking at her and hid behind others.
As the thugs surrounded Ye Qian he was having a calm expression on his face.
"Hey, Ah Su go and break his limbs for our boss."
One of the thugs smirked.
The man called Ah Su walked forward while fanning his stick towards Ye Qian while saying.
"Brat, this is all your fault; don't blame others for this."
As he walked towards Ye Qian while swinging his stick at his legs, he abruptly heard a whooshing sound arriving at his left ear.
"PUHH"
Then he heard a silent puh sound coming from his ear and he flew towards his right like a tossed gunny sack.
"Crack"
While the people surrounding Ah Su could hear a cracking sound and then they saw Ah Su flying to his right and crashing into the other three of his buddies who tried to stop him from falling.
While Ah Su was caught by them, they felt like being hit by a cart and fell to the ground while clutching their hands and started wailing loudly.
They tried to stop him from falling, as a result, the force was transferred to them through hands that could not handle it and their bones cracked.
All this happened within a blink of an eye and none of the thugs were able to understand what had really happened.
Meanwhile, as Ah Su fell to the ground he suddenly felt darkness spreading in his eyes and all he could see was blurry while thinking.
'Did I crash into a car?'
He then fell unconscious; the others didn't know whether he was even alive or dead.
"Oops, sorry I didn't control my strength"
Ye Qian mumbled while seeing the thug falling unconscious. He lowered his leg which was in the position of a high kick just then.
The other thugs and villagers were dumbfounded.
'You didn't control your strength and this happened; then what will you do if you decide to kill someone won't it will be a plaything for you.'
Meanwhile, Little Ming looked at her father and said with shining eyes.
"Look, dad, big brother knows martial arts, I will ask him to teach me next time he visits us."
Her father looked at her with mouth agape thinking.
'If you learn that, what will we do if you accidentally kill someone, we still don't know whether that man is dead to alive.'
"Be wary, he is a Martial Practitioner."
Someone from the thugs bellowed.
Everyone nodded, as one of them suggested.
"Let's all attack at the same time, I don't believe he can counter us all at the same time!"
As the thugs said that Little Qing's mother looked at Ye Qian with worry.
She was worried as fighting several of them might injure Ye Qian even if he was a Martial Practitioner.
As the thugs were coming near him, Ye Qian still had a calm expression on his face.
Suddenly, a bat came from behind him, he quickly turned and while this time controlling his strength used a palm on the thug's chest.
"KRRR"
The thug felt he was being crushed by a bull, as all he heard was the muffled sound of his ribs cracking while he curved like a stretched bow; he was sent flying toward a wall where he stumbled and fell unconscious.
If he knew in case, Ye Qian had used a bit more strength, then his heart would have turned into meat paste; he would have thanked Ye Qian for showing mercy for sure.
As the others saw another one of them injured in such a way, they glanced at each other and nodded.
They rushed towards Ye Qian, but this time they aimed to hit him on the head so they might have a higher chance of beating him.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian turned around to face the others.
As Ye Qian turned, he saw that a bat was coming at his head; he squatted down and neared the one who was hitting him and punched his thigh.
"Kaka"
"Fu*k! Bast*rd!"
A loud cracking sound was heard again; the one whose thigh was cracked fell down and started wailing loudly while cursing Ye Qian.
The remaining four of them were just about to hit him when his punches came to their face.
They were flabbergasted and let go of their weapons as they fell to the ground; still, they were no match for Ye Qian's speed and were punched in the face, with a punch each but only their nose broke as they stumbled back.
They saw Ye Qian coming toward them and went to their knees.
"Sir, don't kill us; we will leave far away and won't come to this village again and and we will even leave the gang."
Their cries were filled with begging as they urged Ye Qian.
Ye Qian looked and then glanced at Little Qing and her mother; turning back to the men he continued.
"If you really won't come to this village, then I won't hurt you. Now run away and never do these things."
They nodded and ran to the village gate without even looking at their previous boss.
They thought 'Our life is more important, we can do some heavy labour and can earn big enough to live on. Ah Su and others won't be able to even stand up; it's good that we knew what is good for us, otherwise, we would have been the same.'
The leader looked at Ye Qian with a ferocious glint.
"So, you really are something; but can you stop a bullet. Hehe."
He stepped down and removed a pistol from his belt and pointed it at Ye Qian's head.
"Gasp!"
All the villagers sucked a breath of cold air while seeing the leader of the gang pointing a gun at Ye Qian.
Though the gun looked handmade (scrap gun), it was still a gun and would sure-fire a bullet that might kill anyone who faced it.
But Ye Qian looked calm even though the leader had pointed a gun at him.
"If you don't want to die hand over the money and your woman, whom you have been trying to save."
The leader said while licking his lips.
Little Qing's mother's cheeks flushed hearing the leader's words, which were "She was Ye Qian's woman", but she quickly shook her head and thought of the situation that was ahead.
"Well, I won't die and you are wrong she is not my wife, but still you can't take her."
Ye Qian said without an ounce of fear.
Little Qing's mother looked at him a little touched and her eyes turned moist.
'Nobody had treated me like this before. Do I count so much to him?'
While she thought such, this was not what Ye Qian meant; if he knew he might have felt disaster coming forth.
But what can you say; when a woman likes someone she will like everything he does.
Well, that topic is for another day.
"You sure are brave; let's see if I can take her after I pull the trigger. Hehe."
The boss sneered while putting his finger on the trigger.
While he was about to pull the trigger something happen that made others' mouths wide open.
Ye Qian suddenly slapped him on the face with the leader's teeth falling off.
While the gun in his hand was taken by Ye Qian as he broke it into two pieces with his bare hands.
"So what if you have a gun, I can just break it!"
Ye Qian said while punching him in the stomach.
The boss fell to the ground, curling like a cooked shrimp while wailing and blood coming from his mouth.
The lackey who was by the side of the boss immediately kneeled.
"Sorry sir, let us go we will never do this work again."
He was not an idiot; he did the same as the ones who were spared before.
"Fine, just leave and don't come here again; if I hear that you were here again.."
Ye Qian pointed at Ah Su and others with a smile.
"You know what the result will be."
"Yes sir, thank you for sparing our measly lives, we will definitely cherish it."
The lackey bowed again and again.
Though Ye Qian's smile was simple, for him it was no less than a devil's cold smile.
"Now, what were you waiting for; pick your men and scram from here." Ye Qian said sternly.
What he didn't like the most was when women were forced to do things, which they never would.
So he was angry; but still, he did not kill anybody and at most severely injured them.
Though he was currently in the Pseudo Immortal realm and would have to cultivate a long way if he had to reach his previous realm, he didn't care about it.
But as the Spirit Energy in the Earth was very less, the thing which he would suffer the most was the stored Spirit Energy in his dantian would deplete as he uses it; though he might recover, it might take time.
But if he were to now recover the used Spirit Energy and used further what he has; his stored energy will start to deplete and might result in his degradation of the realm, which might result in him falling further below to Nascent Soul and further less the more he used it without replenishing.
So, he didn't use any kind of Energy-related art on the thugs; if he wanted to he could have made an Energy barrier around him through which the bullet would not penetrate.
__________
He turned towards the villagers and went to Little Qing who seemed to be calling him with a beaming smile.
"Big Brother, thank you for saving me and mother."
Little Qing said as she ran to him with her hands wide open.
"Hey don't say that, am I not your Big Brother, why won't I save her?"
Ye Qian said as he smiled and patted her head.
Little Qing smiled and asked.
"When will you come again Big Brother?"
"Umm, I will come back in two months and I will bring you some gifts then."
He said as Little Qing looked at him with her big puppy eyes.
He glanced around and saw Little Ming running towards him.
She clung to him and said, "Big Brother you must teach martial arts when you come next time."
"Ok, I will."
He nodded and turned to Little Qing's mother and asked.
"Are you fine?"
She nodded with her cheeks turned crimson.
Seeing her becoming red again Little Qing asked.
"Mom are you having a fever again, should Big Brother check you?"
"Um... No no, I am fine."
She struggled to look at Ye Qian and said.
"I am just a little exhausted by all this."
"You must take some rest and don't go to work quickly, now that you are a little healthy; take a rest for a few days."
Ye Qian said without any thought.
'He cares for me so much.'
Little Qing's mother felt honey was about to drip from her heart as she could not help but look at Ye Qian bashfully.
