Chapter 449: Chapter 210: Deliverance Through Demon Slaughter
Tang Xi’s voice was soft and sticky-sweet, as if laced with sugar. To hear it was to feel a sweetness seep deep into your heart.
With a voice like that, it was difficult to feel angry with her, no matter how vicious her words.
If anger did begin to brew, you would instead blame yourself. Why would you ever lose your temper with her?
Even getting angry in your own heart would lead to sincere self-reproach.
Fang Shuwen’s gaze was complicated as he looked at Tang Xi.
"Commit suicide?
"You... want me... to commit suicide?"
Tang Xi was no stranger to such a look; every man captivated by her wore the same expression.
So she nodded firmly.
"That’s right. Kill yourself."
"Why?"
Fang Shuwen took another step forward.
This step made Shen Qingfeng and the others’ expressions shift, but Tang Xi simply waved her hand, signaling for them not to worry.
The situation was entirely under control.
Everyone in the Night Rain Tower knew of the abilities of Tang Xi, the Wanxiang Pavilion Master.
Thus, though the members of the Night Rain Tower surrounded them in layers, not a single person made a move.
They all wanted to see how the Human World Demon God, who roamed the world unhindered and was invincible in the Northern Domain, would kill himself before their Pavilion Master.
In response to Fang Shuwen’s question, Tang Xi answered without hesitation, as if it were the most natural thing in the world:
"Because if you don’t, I’ll be sad."
"So... you’ll be sad."
The corners of Fang Shuwen’s mouth twitched, and he slowly raised his hand.
A glint of light flashed in Tang Xi’s eyes.
"Yes, I’ll be sad.
"Very, very sad...
"So, to keep me from being sad, won’t you kill yourself for me?"
"Won’t I..."
Fang Shuwen slowly raised his palm, then finally burst into loud laughter.
"Of course not!"
Hearing this, Tang Xi finally realized something was wrong.
Her pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively tried to melt back into the rain, but it was too late.
She was too close to Fang Shuwen... With his Martial Arts, a distance of ten or even twenty zhang could be crossed in the blink of an eye.
Let alone a mere one zhang, especially after he had already taken a step forward.
Before Tang Xi’s figure could even begin to retreat, a powerful gust of wind was already upon her.
A huge bang rang in her ears, accompanied by the CRACK-CRACK-CRACK of shattering bones.
She found herself spinning, spinning, round and round... but her body wasn’t moving at all.
Only her head was turning.
After spinning three full circles in one go, she finally crashed to the ground. The world around her was pitch black, and Fang Shuwen’s voice was very, very faint, but it still managed to reach her ears.
He said:
"What a psycho..."
The entire world fell silent. Not just Tang Xi’s world, but the world around them. At that moment, aside from the sound of the rain, there was nothing.
The people from Night Rain Tower stared blankly at Tang Xi, whose head had been twisted around three times. Her death was too gruesome to behold.
No one could believe their eyes.
Tang Xi—that peerless enchantress, whose beauty could topple nations, whose every frown and smile could sway any man’s heart—had died just like that at Fang Shuwen’s hands.
’This man... does he have no heart?’
They might be silent, they might be shocked, but Fang Shuwen was not.
The people around them didn’t attack immediately, but Fang Shuwen wouldn’t stop and wait.
This was a perfect opportunity.
His gaze shifted to Su Baiyu, and his figure vanished in an instant.
’He’d been halfway through killing a man when this stupid broad suddenly jumped out and told him to kill himself. It was the most ridiculous joke in the world.’
’He had heard about Tang Xi’s situation from the Night Rain Tower members back at the Chen Residence.’
’But this was the first time he’d seen someone with that much nerve.’
’It wasn’t that he hadn’t been attracted to Tang Xi. After all, with a face and aura like that, who wouldn’t be?’
’But the attraction felt like trying to scratch an itch through a boot. A portion of it was suppressed by his Inner Strength, and besides, he knew exactly what he had to do.’
’He had grown up wild, like a weed. For the sake of learning Martial Arts, he could suppress his every need to the bare minimum.’
’Even after Zheng Sihai had effectively delivered a death sentence to his future in Martial Arts, he had never once thought of giving up.’
’How could a man like him be swayed by a mere woman?’
’Though, for a brief moment, he had indeed been interested in Tang Xi.’
’Not out of love or affection, but a subconscious calculation: if he could control this woman who could generate such immense goodwill, would she be of great help to him?’
’But the thought lasted only an instant before he discarded it.’
’A person like that was too dangerous.’
’Even if he could control her, she might affect the people around him.’
’Fang Shuwen had no desire to end up abandoned by all his followers and kin. Therefore, Tang Xi’s fate could only be one thing... death!’
’Only in death would she be safe.’
’Otherwise, the people by his side might lose their minds because of her, just like the man before him—Su Baiyu, who was frozen in shock over Tang Xi’s death.’
Su Baiyu’s [Traceless Poison Classic] circulated through his body, bringing about a world-altering change in his entire being.
Purple patterns crisscrossed his skin, spreading over his entire body along with the circulation of his Inner Strength. They covered his face, forming an extremely complex and fearsome totem.
Unfortunately, this man who looked so formidable was now standing like an idiot, unable to tear his eyes away from Tang Xi’s corpse.
As a result, it wasn’t until Fang Shuwen’s [Great Black Heaven God Palm] was about to smash into his skull that he remembered he was facing a deadly enemy.
