Feng Ruoxing pushed his longevity towards me. I saw half a black poisonous snake appear on my right arm. Its two fangs had already bitten into my wrist.

That snake was the incarnation of a ghost god. It was forcibly absorbing the lifespan Feng Ruoxing had given me through its fangs.

Feng Ruoxing's palm, pressed against me, paused slightly before pressing down again: "No, if we stop now, we'll all die. Don't worry about anything, keep the incantation going."

Keep going?

As I hesitated, I heard someone shout in the corridor: "Manager Jing, you have no ties to Li Po. Don't interfere in this matter! We will reward you handsomely afterwards."

"That's right! Manager Jing, Zhang Fang only asked us to stab Li Po once. We won't hurt his vital points, he'll only be injured at most. It won't cost him his life!"

"Manager Jing, the entire Esoteric Community of the province is here. If we're wiped out, the Esoteric Community will be gone too. You have to weigh the pros and cons!"

When the Esoteric practitioners couldn't persuade Jing Henyun, they turned around and shouted at me, "Li Po! Li Po!"

"This is a feud between you and Zhang Fang, don't involve us."

"If you save our lives, we will definitely repay you. In the future, if you need help with anything in the Esoteric Community, we will definitely lend a hand."

"Li Po, think carefully, you have no family, we have sects and disciples, we can't die, you..."

"Shut up!" Feng Ruoxing roared, then said urgently: "Li Po, don't worry about anything, control Shang Xingyan, that's how we'll have a chance to win."

As Feng Ruoxing spoke, a cold, triumphant glint flashed in the eyes of the snake on my hand – it was going to drain Feng Ruoxing's lifespan!

Being entangled by a ghost god was like having a maggot attached to the bone. You couldn't get rid of it without cutting off a piece of flesh.

More importantly, the ghost god had no intention of helping me reverse the curse on Shang Xingyan, he was just extracting benefits.

I quietly raised my hand, and my left hand suddenly drew Zi Ye, slashing it down on my right arm.

Severing my own arm was the only way for me to escape the entanglement of the ghost god.

Before Zi Ye's blade even touched my shoulder, Wen Yile appeared beside me without warning, lightly pinching the blade of Zi Ye with two fingers.

Zi Ye's blade only cut open my arm before being lifted into the air by Wen Yile.

Wen Yile smiled and said: "Leave the ghost god to me!"

Wen Yile stretched out two fingers and pinched the poisonous snake's cheeks on my arm, slowly pulling it upwards, pulling the several-inch-long fangs out of my wrist bit by bit.

I was sweating with pain, but Wen Yile wrapped the terrifying, hissing poisonous snake around his hand as if he were wrapping a towel.

Wen Yile patted the poisonous snake lightly twice: "Brother Li, I'll leave everything here to you. I'll come back to you for a drink when I return."

Wen Yile walked towards the door at a leisurely pace. I only saw his figure flash in the corridor before Wen Yile disappeared.

I swung my blackened right hand and slowly stood up, walking towards the door, using my knife to block the yin wind swirling around Jing Henyun: "Leave this to me!"

Jing Henyun exclaimed: "What are you going to do?"

I didn't answer Jing Henyun, but looked at the Esoteric practitioners in the corridor: "I didn't intend to kill anyone, but you are really disgusting."

"You want to stab me, Li Po?" As I spoke, I drew both swords, a black and a white blade aura forming a whirlwind that swept across the corridor, suddenly pushing forward several meters.

The first few sorcerers who bore the brunt of the attack were about to resist when my blade cut across their throats.

Before the blood could spurt out of the wound, I had already crossed the shocked and uncertain corpses and pushed forward horizontally. Only after I rushed out three meters away did the sound of blood spurting from the wounds and corpses falling to the ground come one after another.

The sorcerers in the corridor suddenly panicked: "Li Po! You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"I don't see any innocent people here!" I roared as I activated my blade aura and slashed forward horizontally.

Zhang Fang stood behind the crowd and laughed loudly: "Li Po, you're courting death! Shang Xingyan, kill him!"

Shang Xingyan panicked and said: "I'm being held back by that woman, if she doesn't die, I can't punish Li Po!"

"Waste!" Zhang Fang panicked now too.

A person who thought he had everything under control, once he loses the initiative, the psychological impact will inevitably be unbearable for him.

Zhang Fang shouted sharply: "Go back, all of you go back and kill him!"

The sound of my blade whistling also rose into the air amidst Zhang Fang's yelling. Those Esoteric practitioners were like a flock of sheep blocked in a dead end by a tiger and a wolf. Only by choosing to desperately charge in one direction could they possibly find a glimmer of hope.

I used the sound of my blade and the bloodshed to force them to choose Zhang Fang.

When the Esoteric heroes, like a flock of sheep driven by the whistling of blades, turned back and rushed towards Zhang Fang, his emotions finally lost control: "Go back, all of you go back!"

Zhang Fang's voice had turned into a scream, he couldn't accept the reality before his eyes.

Zhang Fang's personality had a strong possessive and controlling nature. Once something he controlled escaped from his grasp, he would become angry and furious.

That's the result I wanted!
