That green flame was like a will-o'-the-wisp that would appear in a graveyard, shrouding the entire hall in a ghastly, eerie green.

The flame seemed to have eyes, flying towards Chen Xiao with extreme speed!

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. That dead fatty, Song Fangjin, really had a lot of useless tricks up his sleeve!

This was another very precious magical artifact. Although it was only a one-time-use offensive artifact, this green flame was not ordinary.

It seemed to have a low temperature, but it carried an extremely vicious aura within it.

If it touched a person, it would burn through their skin and continue downwards until the person's flesh was completely burned away, only then would it disappear completely.

This method was extremely vicious and despicable, but it could be surprisingly effective at critical moments.

Relying on this kind of magical artifact, Song Fangjin had killed several enemies whose strength was much greater than his own.

It was a pity that this kind of magical artifact was one-time use, and this skull was his last one.

But as long as he could kill Chen Xiao, then everything would be worth it!

The reflection of the green flame in Chen Xiao's pupils grew larger and larger.

Chen Xiao just stood there, not dodging or avoiding, until the flame was close at hand, then he stretched out his fingers and touched it.

"Hahahaha, you idiot, daring to touch my Netherworld Ghost Fire with your hand, you can just wait to be burned to ashes!"

Seeing this scene, Song Fangjin laughed loudly.

Fortunately, he still had the last Netherworld Ghost Fire on him, otherwise, he would have almost capsized in the gutter today.

However, the next moment, when Chen Xiao's fingers touched the Netherworld Ghost Fire, the ghost fire seemed to have been tamed, quietly condensing in Chen Xiao's hand, without showing the slightest sign of burning.

"This, this, how is this possible..."

Song Fangjin was dumbfounded. This time, he was completely afraid.

Only at this moment did he realize that he had underestimated Chen Xiao's strength from beginning to end.

Touching the Netherworld Ghost Fire with his hand was something even his master, Tu Junhou, could not do.

Not to mention, Chen Xiao could even tame the fire...

"Go!"

Chen Xiao pushed gently, and the Netherworld Ghost Fire suddenly turned into a small, green snake, heading straight for Song Fangjin.

It was not until the green snake was close at hand that Song Fangjin came back to his senses. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but how could he escape?

Just as he turned around, the green snake 'bit' him on the neck.

"Ah...ah..."

He only had time to scream twice before he fell to the ground, his head separated from his body.

The Netherworld Ghost Fire continued to burn and devour his body and head, until it burned so clean that not even a bit of bone residue was left, before disappearing into the air.

Song Fangjin died just like that, disappearing without leaving a single trace, even cleaner than being burned by Qilin Fire.

Chen Xiao looked at He Mingsen, grinned, and said, "Old thing, now it's time for us to settle the score."

He Mingsen looked at Chen Xiao tremblingly, putting on a brave front. "You brat, you still have the leisure to settle scores with me? You killed Tu Junhou's disciple, he will definitely not let you go. If I were you, I would run away immediately, running to the ends of the earth..."

However, Chen Xiao seemed not to have heard his words, muttering, "One Gathering Spirit Pill can increase your lifespan by five years, which means you owe me five years of life."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao placed two fingers on He Mingsen's pulse. "I'll take one year of your life first."

"What do you want to..."

He Mingsen just wanted to speak, when he suddenly felt a huge suction force. At the same time, something was rapidly flowing out of his body and into Chen Xiao's two fingers.

After a while, He Mingsen's originally red face suddenly turned pale, and several age spots appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You, what did you do to me?"

He Mingsen felt extremely weak, and even speaking became difficult.

Chen Xiao still did not pay attention to him, and said to himself, "Now it's the second year."

Then, He Mingsen once again experienced the feeling he had just had, and he now knew exactly what was flowing out of his body.

It was his, vitality.

"Don't, Master, please stop, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

He Mingsen burst into tears, begging for mercy.

Chen Xiao still ignored him, continuing to mutter to himself: "The third year."

"Master, please let me go, I am willing to pay one hundred million, no, I will pay one hundred billion, to buy my remaining three years of life..."

"Sorry, you only have two years of life left."

Chen Xiao smiled, he finally replied.

But his words made He Mingsen's eyes go dark, almost fainting.

Chen Xiao then continued his debt collection work.

"Now it's the fourth year."

He Mingsen felt his vitality draining away bit by bit, and the feeling of being on the verge of death once again enveloped his entire body.

"Master, please let me go, I am willing to use all the assets of my He family in exchange for Master's withdrawal."

He Mingsen pleaded bitterly, already on his last breath.

Saying these words had exhausted all the strength in his body.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao withdrew his fingers, and said with an innocent face, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had said so earlier? You almost made me take your old life!"

"..."

He Mingsen really couldn't speak anymore, not only because he had no strength, but also because he was angry.

It was as if I begged you to kill me, right?

Then Chen Xiao took out another Gathering Spirit Pill, flicked it with his finger, and popped it into He Mingsen's mouth.

In an instant, He Mingsen felt his vitality return to his body again.

His face became ruddy again, and he had strength in his body.

At this moment, he finally understood that the reason his body was getting better before was entirely due to the Gathering Spirit Pill, and not because of Song Fangjin's life-borrowing ritual.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

He Mingsen thanked Chen Xiao with an excited face, "Master, I, He Mingsen, will definitely repay you handsomely!"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Handsome repayment? Old thing, don't forget what you promised me just now. What else can you come up with to thank me?"

Only then did He Mingsen realize that he had promised Chen Xiao to give him all the assets of the He family when he was on the verge of death.

He begged, "Master, could you please leave this villa for me to retire in? I will definitely pack up and give you the other assets!"

Chen Xiao sneered, "Old man, do you not understand what 'all assets' means, or are you playing dumb with me?"

He Mingsen's old face suddenly turned red, and he stammered.

At this time, Chen Xiao asked again, "Do you know why I gave you a Gathering Spirit Pill just now to extend your life?"

"Because Master, you are kind-hearted..."

Before He Mingsen could finish his words, Chen Xiao snorted coldly, interrupting him.

"Old thing, you don't need to flatter me. The reason I let you live is just to let you experience the feeling of being abandoned by everyone after losing all your property!"
