However, the knife did not kill with a single blow as he had imagined; instead, it seemed to encounter some obstacle and could not be stabbed down.

Li Tao sensed something was wrong and quickly increased the pressure on his hands.

But at this moment, he could clearly feel the person on the bed moving.

Immediately afterwards, a cold light flashed, forcing Li Tao to retreat.

He glanced at Liang Shan subconsciously, then glared angrily at Yun Jian, "You all conspired to frame me!"

It must have been Liang Shan who told Yun Jian about his plan in advance, which made Yun Jian prepared and thus he was the one who fell into the trap.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jian deliberately raised his voice: "A conspiracy? It seems there's a traitor among us."

Since the plan had been exposed, Xiao Wu simply lit a torch.

The instant the firelight flared, Li Tao suddenly looked at Yun Jian and ordered in a sinister tone, "Pick up the knife in your hand and kill yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Jian actually raised the dagger in his hand and slowly placed it against his own neck.

What's going on? Why does she listen to everything Li Tao says?

[Are you new here upstairs? This Li Tao's special ability is hypnosis. Just making eye contact with him could potentially hypnotize you. Yun Jian was probably hypnotized.]

[No! I was just relieved, thinking Yunjian was safe. Please don't commit suicide!]

[Alas, the era of this legendary female villain is coming to an end!]

Just as Yun Jian held the knife to his neck, Liang Shan suddenly burst in.

"Li Tao, stop!"

He rushed over, intending to take Yun Jian's knife away, but Xiao Wu seemed to have anticipated his move and stopped him a step ahead.

Liang Shan was extremely anxious and wanted to force her way in, but Li Tao threatened, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will immediately have Yun Jian finish her off."

Upon hearing this, Liang Shan dared not move again.

She glared at Li Tao with resentment, "You haven't even terminated the agreement yet, and you're already taking her life like this? Aren't you afraid of the system's punishment?"

"You still dare to mention the system to me? Didn't you already break our agreement and tip off Yun Jian? Since that's the case, that agreement is null and void!"

Li Tao was furious; his well-laid plan to launch a surprise attack had been ruined.

"I didn't! I swear, I absolutely didn't tip Yun Jian off. I didn't even tell my brother so the plan could go smoothly!"

Li Tao sneered: "You didn't say anything? If you didn't say anything, how could she have taken precautions in advance?"

Liang Shan shook her head. "I don't know, but she's cunning by nature, so it's normal for her to be extra cautious when she's sleeping!"

"Brother! What are you saying?" Liang Song's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Liang Shan's body stiffened instantly.

He slowly turned his head and saw Liang Song looking at him incredulously.

Liang Song glanced at the situation inside the room and immediately understood. He asked in anguish, "Brother, how could you do such a thing? What good will it do you if Yun Jian dies?"

Liang Shan knew that denying it would be useless at this point, so she simply told the truth, "Kill her, and you'll be free. I'm doing this for your own good."

Liang Song shook his head: "I don't want your so-called 'for my own good' attitude. Can't you consult me ​​before you do anything? What's the difference between this and inviting a wolf into the house?"

Liang Shan wouldn't listen to any of this. "You're blinded by her. Have you ever thought that if you don't terminate the agreement with her, you'll die with her? With her suicidal tendencies, how long can she live?"

Annoyed by these words, Liang Song simply took out his weapon, ready to rescue Yun Jian.

"You're thinking of killing someone again, aren't you?"

Liang Song ignored him.

Liang Shan was still indignant: "Look what you've learned from her! You've learned to kill! I don't want to see you kill anyone..."

Liang Song laughed angrily, "Didn't you also send Li Tao to kill Yun Jian? Aren't you an executioner too?"

"No! I didn't! I only gave them clues; they were the ones who wanted to kill!"

Liang Song's expression was resolute: "Since that's the case, if you want to kill someone and I want to protect someone, then there's nothing more to say."

"I'm your brother!" Liang Shan roared. "You have to listen to me!"

"No, that foolish and ignorant person isn't my brother!"

"You don't even want to acknowledge me as your brother anymore, is that it?"

Liang Song had already assumed an attack stance and stopped answering Liang Shan's questions.

Li Tao sneered: "What a show of brotherly affection. Are you done? If you're done, Yun Jian, hurry up and make your move!"

With a casual command, Yun Jian continued to slit his own throat with the knife.

Liang Shan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He quickly ran to Li Tao and grabbed his hand, saying, "No, you can't do it yet! The agreement hasn't been terminated! Yun Jian can only die after the agreement is terminated!"

Li Tao impatiently brushed his hand away, "You broke the contract first, and now not only Yun Jian, but you will also die!"

Liang Shan was stunned, staring at Li Tao in disbelief, "You! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Song had already moved in front of Liang Shan, raised his axe, and shouted, "Li Tao, die!"

As he swung the axe, he also used his body to knock Liang Shan away.

Li Tao was a powerful figure in the jungle before, so he must have some life-saving items. Just as Liang Song's axe came down, a small shield appeared and blocked the blow.

Li Tao sneered: "It's no use. Knowing that you have a puppeteer's sewing kit, I've been keeping myself well covered up, just to keep an eye on you."

Liang Song's attack missed, putting him at a disadvantage.

With just a glance from Li Tao, Xiao Wu came over and got into a fight with Liang Song.

"What a nuisance!" Li Tao cursed under his breath, and asked with dissatisfaction, "Wasn't she supposed to commit suicide? Why hasn't anything happened for so long?"

Li Tao turned his head and saw Yun Jian holding a dagger, sawing against his neck like a saw, the dagger rubbing against his skin, but he just couldn't break through it.

Li Tao: "?"

"Are you trying to stall me? Why bother pretending to commit suicide?"

[Pfft... I laughed. This scene is really weird and funny. Suicide to dawdle, hahaha!]

[I mean, is it possible that Yun Jian really can't commit suicide?]

[Very likely! I remember Yun Jian's strength value was only 25. The system said she probably couldn't even beat the goose at the village entrance. Maybe she really is too weak?]

Even if your strength is low, you still have a knife, right? The blade is so sharp, it shouldn't be unable to cut through skin, right?

[Did you miss the live stream last night? Yunjian gained a new attribute: defense! Is it possible that the defense stat is at play?]

[This works? I'm impressed. The sky doesn't completely block out the clouds!]

Just as Li Tao was about to go closer to see what was going on, another person rushed in through the door, shouting, "Let my boss go! Or I'll fight you to the death!"

The fourth brother grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed in, then, without saying a word, started hacking wildly with his eyes closed.
