They never imagined that after all that commotion, Xu Ke's so-called confidence was actually the very people who wanted him dead—Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders.
Isn't this too hilarious?!
Everyone burst into laughter, rcilessly mocking Xu Ke.
"Xu Ke, you can go mad... but you don't have to be this absurd, do you? This is too funny!"
"Putting on such a hilarious show for us right before you die... you really shouldn't have!"
It was one thing for Xu Ke to pretend he had a backup plan, but to claim his enemies were his backup?
This...
They laughed so hard their stomachs began to hurt. They had seen n beg on their knees, charge valiantly to their deaths, and fall into despair, but they had never seen anything so ridiculous.
Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e's faces turned completely pale. Looking at Xu Ke, they were utterly convinced that he had lost his mind.
But what made the crowd laugh even louder was Xu Ke's strange smile as he looked at Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders. "You won't agree?"
"Hahahahaha..."
Another round of roaring laughter erupted. The three assassins' masks nearly fell off. Fang Caizhe laughed so hard the pain from his wounds flared up.
As for Shi Hongda, he was almost in tears from holding back his laughter. The resentnt in his eyes had been replaced by pity. "Xu Ke, rest assured. After you're gone, I will personally take your body back to Tianhai. You don't need to worry."
"Ah, Elder Shi, you truly have a compassionate heart. If it were , I certainly couldn't bring myself to do such a thing," Zhuge Changyin chid in.
One of the three assassins finally stopped laughing and shook his head. "Alright, let's finish this quickly and go find the Ghost-Poison Elders." Watching Xu Ke's earnest expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh again. If they weren't on the expressway and needing to conserve ti, he would have loved to see what other shocking nonsense Xu Ke could co up with.
"Makes sense, let's get to it."
"Alright, Xu Ke, how do you want to die? Oh... never mind, no need to ask you. You're already insane anyway." The other two assassins began to taunt and humiliate Xu Ke. "Hahaha..."
Seeing Tang Yingchang standing motionless, Shi Hongda took the opportunity to recruit him. "Tang Yingchang, must you still refuse to see the light? Co over to our side. The Huang Family always welcos Innate Great Perfection Experts." Although Tang Yingchang was Xu Ke's man and caution was needed, more combat power for the Huang Family was never a bad thing.
Everyone looked at Tang Yingchang with mocking gazes. They wanted to see the spectacular expression on this Innate Great Perfection Expert's face as he witnessed his master go mad.
But to their surprise, Tang Yingchang remained perfectly nonchalant, his face even bearing the sa strange smile as Xu Ke.
"No, thank you. I must ask Elder Shi to act quickly and eliminate these three assassins so we can be on our way," Tang Yingchang said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, the smiles on everyone's faces faltered.
Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e exchanged a glance, a flicker of surprise in their eyes. Why? Why is Tang Yingchang still saying things like this? Could he have gone mad, too, just like Xu Ke? Impossible, right?!
Shi Hongda's expression darkened. "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I'm serious."
"It seems your brain has a problem as well," the Yin Yang Elders said in unison.
One of the assassins stepped forward, an ice-cold aura beginning to radiate from him. "Heh, in that case, we'll just send both of you on your way together."
Another assassin casually took out his phone. "Logging today's elimination targets: Tang Yingchang and Xu Ke."
Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders stealthily moved forward. They might not attack, but they had to seal off Xu Ke and Tang Yingchang's escape routes.
The next mont, several terrifying forces rushed toward the surrounded Xu Ke and Tang Yingchang with almost crushing montum. The atmosphere instantly grew tense, thick with killing intent.
Seeing this, Duan Zhuo'e's expression changed drastically. I have to save them! Even if Xu Ke had gone mad, he had to get him back. Bai Qian'er clearly had the sa idea, and both were about to charge forward.
But as Xu Ke saw Shi Hongda advance, he spoke, his voice cutting through the tension and silencing everyone. "Elder Shi, Yin Yang Elders, if you don't want to make a move, that's fine too. But I'll tell you this: right now, no one else can cure the poison in your bodies."
At his words, the three assassins exchanged glances, their auras falling into disarray. Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e suddenly realized sothing.
As for the n in question, Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders, their faces changed dramatically. A terrible premonition blood in their hearts.
"What did you say?" Shi Hongda's face was grim. "Poison? I'm perfectly fine! Where would any poison co from?"
"Are you sure?" Xu Ke said with a grin. "Take a look at your Yunn, Zhongfu, and Tianchi points. See if there isn't a fine black line there. If my timing is correct, the poison should have just reached the Tianchi point and is gradually turning green."
As Xu Ke finished speaking, Shi Hongda and the Yin Yang Elders went completely white. They frantically yanked open their collars and looked down.
At that one glance, all three felt a chill sweep through their bodies. A cold dread shot from the base of their spines to the crowns of their heads, and their minds went blank with a deafening roar.
The eyesight of an Innate Great Perfection Expert was far too keen. Even though the sun was at their backs, casting their collars in shadow, they could still see it with perfect clarity. A snake-like black line was spreading from their collarbones toward their hearts. Just as Xu Ke had said, the black line at the Tianchi point was already turning a deeper shade of green. A single look was enough to tell that the poison was already endangering their hearts.
"You... you... when did you poison us?" Shi Hongda looked up at Xu Ke in utter horror, his lips trembling and his eyes filled with terror. He couldn't understand how Xu Ke had possibly done it. With the level of bodily control an Innate Great Perfection Expert possessed, it was impossible to be poisoned without knowing it, especially near a vital area like the heart.
And yet, Xu Ke had sohow managed it. How in the world did this happen?
Xu Ke smiled slightly. "Want to know?"
The Yin Yang Elders' faces were extrely grim. "Speak! Now!"
Seeing Shi Hongda go from suprely confident to desperately terrified in a single second, Bai Qian'er and Duan Zhuo'e stared with incredulity. They then looked back at Xu Ke, who appeared to have everything under control, their mouths hanging open in shock.
As for Fang Caizhe on the ground, his face turned deathly pale. Shi Hongda and the other two were poisoned by Xu Ke? Doesn't that an Xu Ke isn't going to die today?
The three assassins exchanged fearful glances. They could tell Shi Hongda's reaction was no act. Xu Ke had definitely poisoned them, and he had done it so stealthily that even they hadn't noticed. Now, Shi Hongda would inevitably be constrained by Xu Ke, preventing them from carrying out the kill. The assassins' expressions shifted rapidly. If Shi Hongda and his two companions joined the battle against them, they really might not be able to kill Xu Ke.
Realizing this, their battle-hardened instincts told them this was their only chance to strike—while Xu Ke was distracted with Shi Hongda.
They roared in unison, "Attack!"
