"Heh heh heh...!" Upon hearing these words, Shang Peng, beaten so badly that blood was flowing incessantly from his mouth and nose, suddenly let out a sinister and terrifying laugh reminiscent of a night owl.
"What are you laughing at?" Hu Ying raised her eyebrows sharply, ready to strike again.
Shang Peng trembled all over, clearly terrified of Hu Ying, but he still forced himself to say, "Hit me! If you kill me, she has to die too!"
As he spoke, he pointed his finger towards the distant assassin number five, a smug expression emerging on his face.
"I implanted a talisman scroll in her sea of consciousness, and this talisman scroll is closely connected to my divine soul. So, if anything happens to me, she will have to die along with me!"
After saying this, he burst into an extremely satisfied hearty laugh.
Hu Ying was so angry her face turned ashen, "You despicable scoundrel!"
With that, she swung the frying pan in her hand, smashing it madly. Due to the aura of Huyue strengthening Hu Ying, Shang Peng didn’t even dare to dodge and could only scream wretchedly.
Yet even so, he continued laughing without stopping.
"Kill me! If you kill me, you’ll never manage to save her! Hahaha..."
Hu Ying was incensed beyond bearing. She already detested Shang Peng to the core because of the dozens of Resentment Binding Curses he carried.
Because unless it’s a deep grudge, the Fox Clan, known for their peace-loving nature, wouldn’t usually place such severe curses.
Moreover, this rascal dared use such devious means to threaten her, further fanning Hu Ying’s rage, making her wish she could bash him to death with the frying pan.
As a result, Hu Ying struck even more viciously, the frying pan whistling as it swung, producing howl-like wails from Shang Peng.
Just then, Xue An stepped forward, sternly saying, "Ying’er, stop!"
Ying’er finally halted, panting, and took a step back, saying resentfully to Xue An, "Brother Xue, he..."
Xue An waved his hand slightly, indicating for her not to speak, and then stepped forward, arriving before Shang Peng.
At this moment, Shang Peng’s appearance could only be described as extremely miserable.
Most of his bones had already been shattered by Hu Ying with the frying pan. The broken edges pierced through the flesh, exposed, making him appear frighteningly eerie.
As his neck was broken, Shang Peng couldn’t even lift his head, only able to glance askew at Xue An from a weird angle. Yet even so, he couldn’t hide the smugness and arrogance in his eyes.
Xue An squatted down, quietly gazed at Shang Peng, and after a long while, finally said slowly, "Do you know what the consequences are for angering me?"
Shang Peng grinned silently, his entire body’s injuries started healing at a visibly fast rate as he did.
After all, Hu Ying had only inflicted him with superficial wounds. Though appearing bloody and horrific, it wasn’t much for a powerhouse of his cultivation level.
So in just a blink of an eye, there was a series of clattering sounds from within him as his bones began to reconnect, and the external swelling rapidly subsided.
Apart from the two broken fingers that hadn’t regrown, he seemed no different than a normal person.
Then he arrogantly spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, sneeringly said, "I don’t care to know what consequences are, I only know that as long as I die, she has to die too, and that kind of fall is irreversible, hahahahaha!"
Right now, Shang Peng had thrown everything away, apart from the instinctive fear he felt towards Hu Ying, he was filled with hate for Xue An.
His words were full of provocation and arrogance.
But just then, Xue An suddenly reached out and grasped Shang Peng’s wrist, and then gave a fierce inward push.
Shang Peng’s whole body shook fiercely, feeling a massive force coming from his wrist, followed by a dense sound like firecrackers exploding.
Shang Peng trembled in pain, but couldn’t move at all.
"Hahahaha, unless you’re an Immortal Emperor powerhouse who can sever causality with a single hand, otherwise she’s like a grasshopper on the same rope with me! So you’d better give up!"
Xue An’s expression was as cold as ice, but he didn’t rebut.
Because Shang Peng was indeed correct.
His current divine sense can indeed be said to be unparalleled, but Shang Peng’s talisman is connected to him through the power of causality.
To resolve it, one must sever the causality.
And it must be a quick and clean severance; otherwise, the talisman spell will still explode.
It’s currently difficult for him to completely sever causality with just one hand.
Seeing Shang Peng’s arrogant expression, Hu Ying was filled with wrath, lifting her foot to fiercely kick his mouth.
Boom!
The bones that had just barely healed were crushed again by Hu Ying’s kick, his mouth flowing with blood.
Yet even so, the smugness on Shang Peng’s face didn’t fade.
Because he knew the angrier these people were, the safer he was.
But just then, assassin number five, who had stood like a wooden sculpture from afar, suddenly moved.
She walked slowly to Xue An’s side, glanced emotionlessly at Shang Peng on the ground, then lifted her head to gaze directly at Xue An, her lips parting, speaking in a hoarse altered voice.
"Kill me!"
