Seeing this, the dagger's heart sank, and she quickly turned and grabbed Lin Yan's neck, "You dare to play me."
Lin Yan looked at the dagger, who was tightly gripping his neck, with surprise and said, "Didn't you say he told you to do it? Why are you afraid of him now?"
"..." The dagger narrowed her eyes, tightening her grip on Lin Yan's neck, "Say that again."
"I'm already dead, you think," Lin Yan raised his hand and grabbed the dagger's wrist, "I would still feel anything?"
The dagger thought her demonic power was so strong that she could completely obliterate Lin Yan.
Of course, even if not completely, she could still thoroughly scare Lin Yan.
Who knew that reality would be completely different from what she imagined? Not only was Lin Yan not afraid of her, but the moment Lin Yan grabbed her wrist, she also lost her basic strength.
"Why is this happening?" she asked, looking at her hand, controlled by Lin Yan, in surprise.
Lin Yan: "...." He didn't know why he had so much strength, but he knew he couldn't be controlled by her.
The wolf demon had initially thought Lin Yan was just a weakling with no strength.
Now, seeing the scene before him, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, "Lin Yan, you're impressive."
Lin Yan didn't have time to look at the wolf demon, still tightly gripping the dagger's wrist. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, "I don't know why this is happening, but what I want to tell you is that I won't let you harm me."
"If you had this thought before you died, you wouldn't have..." The dagger glanced pointedly at the wound on Lin Yan's body that hadn't been healed yet, saying, "Ended up like this."
"Knowing I look like this, you still dare to provoke me."
However, the dagger thought that by saying this, she would cause Lin Yan's emotions to fluctuate. Who knew that he would not feel anything at all, and moreover, he was so calm.
She was speechless.
At the same time, the wolf demon stopped behind the dagger, squinted, and deliberately asked, "Tell me, why did you betray your master?"
At the alley entrance, the Yin Messenger clearly heard the wolf demon's voice and frowned.
The dagger said, "None of your business." She turned and glared at the Yin Messenger, then back at Lin Yan, "Let go of me."
"If I let you go, you'll go and do evil again."
"You..."
"It was that imposter who told you to kill the ten beggars, wasn't it?" the wolf demon interrupted.
The dagger's brow furrowed, and she turned to look at the wolf demon again, "Yes, and what can you do to me? Their lives were just the beginning." She said, then turned to Lin Yan, "I'll count to three. If you don't let me go, I'll be rude to you."
The wolf demon said, "You're already held so tightly by this kid, what's with all the boasting? Your best choice now is to surrender obediently."
"...." The dagger glared at the wolf demon, then subtly twisted her other wrist, conjuring a new dagger. "Three, two, one. You forced me." Saying this, she raised the dagger, suddenly turned sideways, and stabbed it into the wolf demon's shoulder.
The wolf demon's body stiffened. He looked down at the dagger stuck in his shoulder, his eyes wide.
The dagger looked at the wolf demon, "This dagger is poisoned. Wolf demon, you'll soon become a demon soul." Then, she looked at the stunned Lin Yan, "Let go of me."
"I won't," Lin Yan still held the dagger's wrist tightly.
The dagger said, "Don't think that just because you're a ghost, I can't do anything to you."
"I'd like to see what you can do to me," Lin Yan's eyes were firm, and he didn't look at the wolf demon.
Seeing Lin Yan's determined gaze, the dagger smiled, "Kid, since that's the case," she suddenly placed her other hand on Lin Yan's back of his hand, "I'll take you to see that imposter."
The wolf demon heard the dagger's words and thought about the fact that Lin Yan and the imposter couldn't interact. He quickly said, "Lin Yan, let go."
Hearing this, the dagger sneered, "I'll give you five counts. If you don't let go, I'll take you away."
"You..."
Lin Yan uttered a single syllable, and the wolf demon shouted again, "Let go, obey me."
The dagger, hearing the wolf demon's agitated shouting, smiled brilliantly, "Five..."
The wolf demon shook his head slightly.
Lin Yan glanced at the wolf demon's face and compromised, "Shut up, I'll let go."
"That's more like it," the dagger said with a triumphant smile, removed the hand that was on Lin Yan's back of his hand, and said, "You're really cold."
"..." Lin Yan couldn't be bothered to reply. He let go, took a step forward, and asked, "Are you alright?" He looked at the wolf demon with concern.
"Go."
"You..."
"Hurry up and go, don't mind me," the wolf demon said, rolling his eyes in pain, "Don't come back again." As he spoke, he deliberately shifted his gaze.
Before this, the wolf demon had told Lin Yan that when facing a crisis, if he moved his eyeballs, it meant Lin Yan didn't need to worry about him.
At this moment, Lin Yan looked at the wolf demon's signal and sighed, "Alright." Saying this, he lowered his hand, didn't even glance at the dagger, and left.
The dagger was startled, "Are you really going?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan squinted and floated out of the alley without looking back.
The dagger, seeing how Lin Yan treated the wolf demon, was also unacceptable, "Lin Yan, he is for you..."
She spoke halfway, and the wolf demon, sweating profusely, moved to block her. Then, he directly pulled out the dagger stuck in his shoulder and threw it on the ground, "What did you just say?" he said, clutching his wound.
Hearing the wolf demon's question, the dagger withdrew her gaze and looked at the wolf demon, "I said this dagger has..." She stopped again, and accidentally looked at the wolf demon's wound, then sneered, "You're finished."
"How am I finished?"
"This dagger of mine is poisoned. Any demon who touches it will be on the verge of death, but," the dagger said with a sinister smile, "if you beg me, I'll give you the antidote."
"No need. I, the wolf demon, was once a poison wolf. This little poison," he endured the severe pain from the wound, took a few deep breaths, and continued, "can't kill me."
"That's how those ten beggars died. Do you think," the dagger said with a low smile, "you can escape?"
"What?" The wolf demon feigned surprise, thinking the Yin Messenger must have heard.
At the same time, while the wolf demon and the dagger were talking, the Yin Messenger suddenly reached out and pulled Lin Yan, who was about to pass him, to his side, "...." Then he turned to look at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan knew the wolf demon wanted him to leave, so he must have had a plan. Thus, facing the current situation, he appeared calm. He didn't say a word and cooperated by standing by the wall, deliberately not leaning against it.
The Yin Messenger looked at Lin Yan, who showed no reaction, in disbelief. Then he glanced at the wolf demon, who was staring at the dagger, and whispered, "You weren't scared by me at all?"
Lin Yan whispered, "He's injured. Can you save him?"
