Dead Face never walked fast, but at this time, his footsteps sounded so hurried to Shu Si.
One step, one step … In the blink of an eye, Dead Face walked from the gate of the spacious courtyard to the door of his bedroom.
And every step meant that he was closer to the abyss.
Shu Si couldn't wait to explode a little bit of his soul to warn him not to come close. However, at this time, he was completely powerless and could only watch everything happen.
However, the footsteps of the dead man's face stopped at the door. The cold voice came in through the door, but it warmed Shu Si's heart.
"I asked you to visit Luo Xiao to seek cooperation. Did you do it?"
The tone was as cold as ever, but Shu Si swore that he had never looked forward to Dead Face's cold treatment.
Hurry up and leave after you lose your temper. Don't come in!
But the puppet he possessed obviously wouldn't give up so easily.
"Luo Xiao said that he would seriously consider it, so I came back in advance to celebrate. Who knew that my mood would be so agitated that my practice would go wrong … Dead Face, don't stand at the door to question me. Come in and help!"
The puppet's imitation was so perfect that Shu Si felt as if he could hear his other self speaking!
Fortunately, Dead Face didn't let him down.
"What kind of practice are you practicing? Why are your limbs paralyzed and you can't move?"
The puppet replied, "What else can it be? Of course, it's the Ice Heart Technique you taught me … "
"Ice Heart Technique? You … where did you know this name? " Outside the room, Dead Face's voice became colder and colder, even Shu Si's spirit began to tremble slightly.
Yes, he had never practiced the Ice Heart Technique. What Dead Face taught him was clearly the Jade Bone Technique.
However, Luo Xiao designed this trap to kill him. Perhaps, he had already investigated him thoroughly. How could he even make a mistake about what he practiced?
So, who was wrong in the end?
At the same time, after hearing this, the puppet's controller was slightly stunned and then explained, "Of course, I heard it from someone. You changed the name of the Ice Heart Technique to Jade Bone Technique. When I was practicing with my friends, they could see that it was the Ice Heart Technique at a glance … "
The dead-faced man coldly interrupted outside the door, "You have never liked to cultivate. How can you have any friends to compare skills with you?"
The puppet seemed to be angry. "Deadface, don't always expose me, okay? I've been exposed by the expert, okay?! If you have the time to criticize me outside the door, why don't you come in and help me? If there are any side effects, I, as a disciple, will lose face for you! "
This tone was exactly the same as the real Shu Si.
But Deadface was apparently aware of something. He still stood outside the door and asked unhurriedly, "Which expert would care about such a trivial matter?"
"It's Luo Xiao! I got along well with him, and he even gave me pointers on my cultivation. I say, dead-faced man, why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you just want to see me suffer? "
Dead Face sneered outside the door, "You have a good relationship with Luo Xiao? He kept you outside the door for the past few days. What did you do to make him suddenly warm up to you? "
"Can't sincerity move metal and stone?! I am the head of Qing Feng Xing, and I visit him every day like a dog. He was moved by my sincerity, so he let me in … Deadface, are you done yet?! "
"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha!"
Just as the puppet began to get angry, Deadface suddenly laughed outside the door.
At this time, Shu Si heard Deadface laugh for the first time.
Before this, he had always thought that Deadface had no human feelings at all. However, after listening to this unrestrained laughter, he suddenly realized that under that dead-like face, there seemed to be a fiery passion.
"Luo Xiao, I think you've had enough of this puppet show! You killed my disciple and stole his soul, but you dare to ambush me and set up a killing array in my house. Do you think I am a wooden puppet? "
While talking, a heat wave suddenly hit outside the house, like a volcanic eruption. The doors, windows, and walls melted in an instant. Revealing a sea of fire in the courtyard.
Deadface stepped on the flames and lived in the middle of the courtyard. Every pore on his body was gushing out a torrent of fire. His rough robe was burned by the flames, revealing a golden robe. His whole body was like a golden lotus bathed in fire, shining dazzlingly.
This was the first time Shu Si saw him go all out. This power … he was afraid that it was not weaker than a Yuanying stage cultivator, and might even touch the edge of Deity Stage.
Was this the true strength of Deadface? In the face of Luo Xiao's killing array, he was finally willing to show his true ability … For some reason, Shu Si had a faint trace of excitement and expectation in his heart.
In his impression, Deadface had never really shown his true realm. When they met in the streets, he thought that Deadface was just a rogue cultivator wandering on the edge of the Immortal Cultivation World. It was already good that he had Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation base. However, after reuniting in the City of Immortals, he brought him too many surprises.
Therefore, in Shu Si's heart, he even unrealistically expected that Deadface could turn the tide and defeat Luo Xiao, and then save him.
Although … the dead could not be resurrected, and he was killed by Luo Xiao, leaving only a remnant of his soul, since he could still think and perceive this world, perhaps there was still hope for him to be resurrected. Even if he could only attach himself to a puppet and could not get a perfect body, he didn't care. As long as he could survive, he didn't care about anything.
However, the next moment, Shu Si's heart fell to the bottom.
Because he saw Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao was also in the sea of fire, and the raging flames were naturally extinguished when they were three feet away from him. Luo Xiao had a trace of contempt on his face as he sneered and said, "Isn't it good to be your wooden puppet? It's rare to build a stage for you, but you would rather waste this script … You really don't know how to live. Xuan Yinzi, when you step into the courtyard, you are entering the land of death. Do you think you still have a chance to survive? "
Xuan Yinzi? Was this Deadface's real name?
Xuan Yinzi sneered and said, "Do you think that by using that rat to trick me into entering the door, you'll win? Luo Xiao, you've become a lot more stupid after joining the new master. "
"Who do you expect to come and save you? Your Qingfeng Trading Company, or the Golden Armored Strongman of the City of Immortals? Or is it your destroyed Green Netherworld Dojo? Unfortunately, in my array, not a trace of sound will leak out. It is exactly as the saying goes, no one will come to save you even if you break your throat. In today's situation, your only chance of survival is not to enter this door. Unfortunately, your eyesight is not so good that you can't see through the flesh puppet I created with my remnant soul. "
Xuan Yinzi coldly snorted and no longer said anything. The fire surged, setting off waves of fire in the courtyard, as if it wanted to burn the sky and boil the sea.
However, with the courtyard wall as the boundary, an invisible barrier forcibly blocked the boiling flames and restrained them in a narrow space of no more than ten feet high. Although Xuan Yinzi's fire waves were fierce, they were like a trapped beast in a cage.
Luo Xiao had really spent a lot of effort for this killing trap … He himself was a top master in the King Pill realm, and obviously, there was a higher-level mastermind behind the scenes. This time, although Xuan Yinzi's hidden strength was very powerful, he was still inevitably defeated.
However, Luo Xiao clearly had the situation under control, but he was not in a hurry to kill. Instead, he wasted precious time talking to Xuan Yinzi.
"Xuan Yinzi, in fact, I have a hundred ways to let you die silently, but I deliberately came to you and set up this trap … because I have a question that I don't understand. I hope you can answer honestly: Why did you let your disciple die? "
Hearing Luo Xiao mention himself, Shu Si was shocked.
Luo Xiao said, "Although I don't know where I exposed my flaws, since you have seen through me, you should know that the smartest choice is to report the news to the elders of the Heavenly Sage Hall as soon as possible. You must not alert the enemy. But you just had to do the opposite. You made your disciple come to visit me again and again, forcing me to kill you and your disciple … What is your intention? "
Hearing this question, Shu Si felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer.
Yes, why did Deadman Face let him die? If he had seen through Luo Xiao's problem, he should have kept him as far away from Luo Xiao as possible! No, he did do this before. He ordered the Qingfeng Business Firm to stop all projects related to Luo Xiao early. He was puzzled about this … If he knew that Luo Xiao had a problem at that time, why did he force him to talk about cooperation with Luo Xiao a few days ago?
Then … wasn't he sending him to his death?!
Luo Xiao said again, "After thinking about it, the only reasonable explanation is that you want to threaten me with this. So you didn't make a move yourself and sent your disciple as a chess piece to test me. You clearly told me that you already know my new identity. As for whether this pawn is dead or alive, of course you don't care. It's just that you probably didn't expect me to do it so quickly. I didn't hesitate to make a big fuss in the City of Immortals to kill you. "
"The above is the most reasonable guess I can make, but to be on the safe side, I'll give you a chance to speak. Xuan Yinzi, cherish this opportunity. Say something that can surprise me … I may spare your life. "
For Luo Xiao, who had the overall situation under control at this moment, he indeed had the capital to waste his words. He calmly watched Xuan Yinzi in the sea of fire, waiting for his answer.
Xuan Yinzi's response was another sneer.
"Luo Xiao, your guess … is only right on one point."
"Oh?"
"That little mouse is indeed just a chess piece in my hand. However, I have never abandoned a chess piece in my hand. "
Hearing this answer, Luo Xiao's face was slightly gloomy.
"Moreover, you made a mistake in your judgment of this little mouse: he does not cultivate the Ice Heart Technique."
"Not the Ice Heart Technique? Then it must be the Jade Bone Skill? "Luo Xiao frowned." So what? "
"Luo Xiao, let me ask you a question: After you killed my disciple and took his soul … did you deal with his body? Have you ever thought about what that body is doing now? "
Luo Xiao's face changed. "You!?"
