Detective Ghost Empress

192 Kill you slowly

Scholar Wei felt as if his body was being torn into half, but the pain was too much for him to even realise what was happening around him. Black spots danced in front of him as he looked at the ceiling of his room. Why was he lying on the floor? Why was he looking at the ceiling? The pain in his leg was too much for him to bear.

For a while he did not understand what was going on, it wasn’t until the screams of Ren Wei and Xiao Mi echoed in his ears, did he snap of his daze as he looked at Ren Wei who was looking at him with an expression that was full of panic. ” Master! Master! Can you hear me?”

He called him loudly and Wei De who was lying on the floor had to blink several times before he regained his senses but as soon as he regained his senses unfortunately for him the second he regained his consciousness, he ended up regaining his sense of pain as well.

Pain, burning and churning shot through his calf, he went to clutch his leg but as soon as his fingers reached his left leg he realised that he could not touch his leg at all. Instead of his leg, he touched the air causing him to push himself off the floor. Even though he felt like he was dying, Wei De still pushed himself off the floor after summoning his courage and what he saw made him pass out again, he looked down at the space where his sturdy leg once was and screamed out loud.

Blood was spurting out from the point where his leg has been chopped off staining the entire floor, as he looked at the floor that was full of blood and nothing else. His leg that was torn off was now lying at a short distance from him, the nerves within it were still pulsating even though it was now separated from him.

” What...What are you doing?” Wei De shouted at Liu Hui Ying who was standing in front of him. He wished he could go against this man who was trying to kill him but he was a scholar, who has never indulged himself in martial arts, how was it possible for him to fight a man who knew skills that were beyond his understanding?

” What do you think I am doing?” Liu Hui Ying said with a gentle smile as she looked down at Wei De who was lying on the floor. ” I told you didn’t I? Your wife sends you regards, I never said that her regards were warm regards? They were regards one would hand out at funerals.”

Wei De stiffened as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was approaching him like a devil, he swallowed hard and then looked around his room. After he killed Zhai Chenguang, it wasn’t as if he did not feel that something was wrong — every time he went to the imperial palace, he did feel like someone was watching him but he has always pushed those thoughts away, in fact even now he felt that the room was slightly colder than it usually was even though there was a brazier burning at the centre of the room.

His instincts were on spot, unlike Zhai Tianyu and the others who were still rushing towards this place, Zhai Chenguang arrived here with Liu Hui Ying, who used her powers to arrive as fast as possible.

.....

Right now, she was watching Wei De suffer as she did when she died at his hands.

” What are you trying to do?” Ren Wei stood next to his master, he wanted to tackle Liu Hui Ying down but his gaze fell on the long scythe that she was holding in her hands and looked at the blade that was dripping with blood and shivering. He would not be able to fight this person, even if he wanted to there was no way possible for him.

Which was why he stayed where he was, just now he saw how quickly this person used that blade to chop Wei De’s leg. It could be said that this man knew and have seen the worst because even when he tore Wei De’s leg, there wasn’t even the slightest frown on her forehead, which was why he did not dare to go head-on with the man with a chain scythe in his hands.

A man who was not at all bothered while killing someone without even the slightest change of expression was someone who can do anything. Going against this man was like trying to invite death to his door even earlier than it was scheduled.

” We can talk this out,” Ren Wei knew that he would not be able to get away from this situation not when the person who was in charge of killing them was already standing in front of him like a grim reaper. At this moment he could only do one thing and that was to make this person drop the idea of killing them. ” We have money as well, we can give you as much money as you want. ..just let us leave, I promise that I will give you as much money as you will need in your life. You wouldn’t have to work for your entire life, just l..let us go, please.”

” Do you really think that it is going to work?” Liu Hui Ying asked with a raise of the brow. Her smile did not falter as she looked at the man who was trying to haggle with her, it was true that she loved money but that did not mean that she loved it so much that she will do something wrong like allowing murderers like them to roam free on the streets. ” And if you really wanted to talk to me about giving you a chance then you should have made sure that no one would sneak up on me to smash a vase on my head.”
