Xie, who had just escaped, returned, bringing along another man. Ji's father was in a very bad mental state. It was obvious that he had been severely beaten, and his face was pale due to excessive blood loss. He was tied up like a zongzi, and his mouth was stuffed, unable to make a sound. Xie held a black pistol, pointing it at Ji's father's head.
"Sen!" Xie exclaimed in shock upon seeing Ken's mangled body, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
"You ran away! What are you doing back? Get out! I don't need a woman to save me!" Ken was both shocked and furious.
"No! I won't leave you alone!" Xie shook her head, pressing the gun firmly against Ji's father's temple. "Let Sen go! Otherwise, I'll kill him right now!"
"You stupid woman! I never loved you! What are you doing back?" Ken's eyes were red.
Despite having his hands and feet chopped off by Ye Lin, he had never shed a tear, but seeing Xie risk her life to come back and save him, his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
Only when one is in a difficult situation can they tell who their true friends are. He never expected that the one who would come back to save him would be Xie.
Ye Lin narrowed his eyes, his fingers gently tapping on the Starfall Heaven Scar.
After activating the Burning Cycle and the Instant Dance, with the sudden increase in speed, he had a 60% chance of cutting off her hand before she could fire the gun. He was hesitating whether to take this risk, but after some thought, he decided against it. Although a 60% success rate was not bad, it was still about Ji's father's life.
"What do you want to do? Do we exchange hostages?" Ye Lin asked.
"Impossible! If I don't have a hostage, you'll kill us immediately! Let Sen's men take him away first. I'll stay here with the hostage!" Xie gritted her teeth and said.
Ye Lin frowned. This girl was indeed one of Ken's followers; she was not easy to deceive. But he couldn't let Ken go. If he didn't kill Ken tonight, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the wild, and he would face huge trouble.
If he hadn't caught Ken off guard tonight, he wouldn't even have had a chance to get close to him before being taken down.
Hearing Xie's words, Ken was both shocked and furious. He could clearly see that Xie was willing to sacrifice her life for his.
"He won't let me go! You go! You always listen to me, don't you? Go!"
Ken's roar was so annoying that Ye Lin picked up a double-headed dragon from Ken's bed and stuffed it into Ken's mouth, choking him until he couldn't speak anymore. Then he looked at Xie.
"I can't agree to your conditions. As soon as Sen leaves, he will surely gather his men to hunt me down. In that case, neither I nor Uncle Ji will survive."
"You have someone you want to save, and so do I. So, if you're worried that I'll chase after you and Sen, I can assure you."
Ye Lin turned the Starfall Heaven Scar's blade towards himself. After four flashes of light, the tendons in his hands and feet were all cut, and blood gushed out.
He collapsed on the ground, unable to even crawl.
This wasn't over. He then cut open his stomach, and his intestines spilled out.
"How about now? Can you believe that I won't chase after you and Sen anymore?" Ye Lin's face was pale, and he looked extremely weak.
"You..." Xie covered her mouth, unable to believe that Ye Lin could do this.
"Uncle Ji is very important to me! I'm an orphan, and he's like a kind father who suddenly entered my life! I must ensure his safety!"
Ye Lin's words were resolute, and even Ji's father, whose mouth was stuffed, had tears in his eyes. After struggling in the cold and impersonal business world for a long time, this sincere emotion touched him far more than mountains of money could.Seeing Ye Lin inflict such severe injuries on himself, Sister Xī also put down her gun. Seeing this, Kenson frantically wanted to shout that Ye Lin hadn't died even after being trampled into a pulp by him, and this kind of injury was nothing to him, but Ye Lin had already used the two-headed dragon to block his mouth, preventing him from warning Sister Xī.
Sister Xī saw Kenson struggling and thought he was calling for her. She quickly let go of Uncle Ji and ran over to him.
"Brother Sen! I'm here, Brother Sen!"
Sister Xī quickly ran forward and took out the two-headed dragon. Seeing Sister Xī let go of Uncle Ji, Kenson's face turned ashen. Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ye Lin stuffing his intestines back in and walking over.
"You want to kill me, I have no objection, but can you spare Xīxī? She knows nothing! She's not a job changer either. She poses no threat to you!" Kenson hurriedly said. "I, Kenson, have done everything in my life, but I've never begged anyone. Consider this my plea!"
"You! How can you still stand up!" Sister Xī was also frightened out of her wits at this moment. She couldn't understand how someone with their tendons in their hands and feet cut could still stand up and even hold a knife.
Ye Lin looked at Kenson with a complicated expression. In some ways, Kenson could be considered a man of great loyalty and righteousness, but unfortunately, he had no choice. If the secret of his immortality was exposed, his fate would be a hundred times worse than Kenson's.
Ye Lin raised the Starfall Heaven Scar without expression.
"Please! Spare Xīxī! Please promise me! I can give you anything you want, just spare Xīxī!"
The blade glinted with starlight and Kenson's voice stopped abruptly. The underground king of Qingcheng opened his eyes wide in his death, not at peace.
"Brother Sen!"
Xīxī let out a heart-rending cry, her face streaked with tears as she looked at Kenson's corpse, crying hysterically.
"I'm sorry, Brother Sen. I'm useless. I'm so stupid!"
Then she picked up the gun with a fierce expression and pulled the trigger without hesitation towards Ye Lin.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After six gunshots, the bullets in the gun were all used up, and the barrel was smoking.
Unfortunately, all the bullets she fired were blocked by the Starfall Heaven Scar and didn't hurt Ye Lin at all.
Ye Lin didn't want to block them originally. He wouldn't die anyway, but considering Uncle Ji was watching, he still made a show of it.
"Kill me too! Kill me along with him!" Sister Xī screamed hysterically. Unable to take revenge, she now just wanted to die with Kenson.
Ye Lin shook his head and sighed.
"Don't be silly, Sister. I don't kill women. Go away!"
