In just over ten seconds, all the guests at the banquet were dead.
Sticky blood flowed across the floor, and the air was filled with the stench of gore.
Wang Fei was a man who valued his reputation immensely. How could he possibly let anyone know that he had changed his identity and was now using the alias Tang Fei?
In fact, the moment Su Su spoke his real name, the deaths of everyone present were already sealed.
"Li Ziqing, Li Ziqing, you've made me suffer terribly all these years. You've ruined my life!"
Wang Fei gritted his teeth, his composure clearly shaken compared to his earlier calm demeanor.
Li Ziqing looked at him with a puzzled expression. "It's been over three years, why do you seem to be reacting now?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present!"
Wang Fei was furious, like a beast that had lost something precious.
"Su Su, what's going on?"
Li Ziqing turned to Su Su.
Wang Fei's abnormal behavior was clearly related to Su Su.
"Perhaps Mr. Wang is too deeply in love..."
Su Su said ambiguously, then lowered her head and added in a whisper, "Back then, I did value him more than the others."
"..."
Li Ziqing was speechless.
So, all these years, Wang Fei hadn't realized he was a victim. He probably thought his relationship with Su Su was love.
"Since things have come to this, I'm not afraid of you knowing!"
Wang Fei said with a sinister smile, "For all these years, I've never stopped thinking of you!"
"It's her!"
Li Ziqing pointed at Su Su and corrected him.
"But I never imagined the truth would be like this!"
Wang Fei said with a wry smile, gritting his teeth so hard they audibly clicked.
Chen Xiao also hadn't expected this man to be so deeply infatuated.
Su Su truly lived up to her reputation as a succubus; her ability to charm men was beyond compare.
"Boss, should I kill them all?"
Man Shan stared at Chen Xiao and the others with a grim expression, ready to act at Wang Fei's command.
"No rush!"
Wang Fei raised his hand to stop him. "Those who brought me suffering must also taste suffering before they die!"
"I'm curious, what makes you think you can?"
Chen Xiao asked nonchalantly.
He was genuinely curious. He couldn't figure out Wang Fei's trump card.
In Chen Xiao's eyes, Wang Fei was merely a helpless invalid, with no discernible aura, clearly not a cultivator.
Yet, he could discern Chen Xiao's use of divine sense to kill, indicating some level of insight.
A person with insight but no ability, in the current situation, would not dare to be so arrogant if they had no trump card.
"What is your trump card? You can reveal it now!"
Even though he didn't know what Wang Fei's trump card was, it definitely wasn't that Man Shan.
Man Shan was just a muscular brute, all brawn and no skill, not even qualifying as a martial artist.
Wang Fei's actions also confirmed Chen Xiao's guess.
"You want to know my trump card? Fine, I'll let you see it now!"
As he spoke, Wang Fei pulled out a broken saber and plunged it into Man Shan's waist with a *thwack*.
"Boss..."
Man Shan turned his head, looking at Wang Fei in disbelief.
He had been loyal to his boss and never imagined his boss would attack him.
"I'm sorry, Man Shan. I know you wouldn't betray my secret, but dead men reveal no secrets."
Wang Fei said calmly, "Besides, you are my trump card. You should feel honored."
Li Ziqing's eyes widened. Was this guy crazy?
He killed someone and then claimed they were his trump card? What was he talking about? This was insane.
The big man also looked bewildered, but Wang Fei was clearly an experienced killer. He had stabbed Man Shan in the waist, piercing his spleen.
In less than ten seconds, Man Shan, who had been as strong as an ox, collapsed heavily to the ground with a thud, his breath gone.
"Meow—"
Just then, the black cat Wang Fei was holding let out a chilling shriek.
Immediately after, it ghost-like detached itself from Wang Fei's embrace, leaped up, and landed on Man Shan. It walked across Man Shan's muscular body.
Finally, it gracefully leaped back into Wang Fei's arms and let out a gentle meow.
"Meow~"
Wang Fei dotingly stroked the cat's head and smiled, "Thank you!"
"So creepy..."
However, his action only reinforced Li Ziqing's opinion of him.
He was just a lunatic!
At this moment, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "So that's how it is..."
Li Ziqing was about to ask what he meant by "so that's how it is," when her gaze shifted, and she suddenly noticed that the deceased Man Shan had stood up.
"Husband, he's risen from the dead!"
Li Ziqing, startled, grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.
She had heard stories as a child about how if a cat passed by a corpse shortly after death, the person would rise again.
Li Ziqing had dismissed it as a scary legend, but now it seemed to be true.
"He hasn't risen from the dead."
Chen Xiao patted Li Ziqing's hand and said with a smile, "This is his trump card!"
Li Ziqing looked bewildered, as if lost in a fog.
At this moment, Man Shan moved his body, looking down and around, as if examining his own physique.
Finally, he nodded at Wang Fei, a satisfied smile on his face. "Hmm, you've done well. This body is very suitable for this old man."
Wang Fei looked obsequious and said respectfully, "It is my honor that you are satisfied, immortal!"
"Eh!"
Li Ziqing exclaimed in surprise, "Man Shan's voice sounds different now!"
"Hahahaha, sharp ears, little girl. This old man is no longer Man Shan, so naturally, my voice is different."
The person who had possessed 'Man Shan' laughed heartily.
Although Li Ziqing was not a cultivator, she could understand.
This person calling himself "this old man" had taken over Man Shan's body.
And he had originally been inside that cat... She couldn't explain the specifics, but that was the general idea.
"Then who are you?"
Li Ziqing asked tentatively.
"This old man is Gand!"
The man said proudly, his face filled with arrogance. "I am the Fourth Elder of the Overlord Sect, sent by the Sect Master to capture you!"
"You're the one who wants to capture me?"
Li Ziqing grew more confused. She had thought Wang Fei wanted to capture her because he still had feelings for her, but now it turned out Wang Fei was just working for someone else.
"Overlord Sect..."
Chen Xiao murmured the name.
He had to admit, the name was quite chuunibyou.
"Are you from the Immortal Hidden Realm?"
Chen Xiao asked.
Gand nodded. He sized up Chen Xiao and suddenly asked, "You were the one who killed the disciples of the Xuan Sword Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect, weren't you?"
"I did, so what?"
Chen Xiao did not deny it.
"Hahahaha, you've got some spirit, kid!"
Gand burst into laughter again. "Then this time, I'll take your head back and make the Xuan Sword Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect owe this old man a favor..."
