Hua Li remained silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Since Ye Xingchen dared to attack me, it means that my actions these past few days have been noticed, so I must take the initiative to kill him."
"Does Mr. Hua still have the strength to deal with him?" Liang Chenghu couldn't help but worry.
Hua Li is quite powerful, but this time she was tricked by Ye Xingchen again, and her strength has been greatly reduced. If the two of them really have to make a decision, then who will win in the end?
“We don’t have the resources to deal with him right now.” Hua Li gritted her teeth: “But I have other methods.”
"Other methods?" Liang Chenghu asked. Since Hua Li said that, it meant that he must have other methods, but what those methods were was beyond Liang Chenghu's knowledge.
"Demon core." Hua Li spat out a golden core and then opened her palm.
A demon core the size of a pigeon appeared in his hand. The demon core was golden in color, with faint runes flowing inside, as if it were sealing something.
"This...this is your last resort?" Liang Chenghu was taken aback.
"This is the demon core that I produced after consuming the Yuanlong Saliva. It contains the power of the Yuanlong." Hua Li said coldly, "As long as I completely refine this demon core and absorb its power, I will have the power to deal with Ye Xingchen."
“Simply having the power to deal with him isn’t enough.” Liang Chenghu steadied himself. “We need the ability to kill him with a single blow.”
"Hehe, don't worry. Give me three days, and I'll refine my demon core. My strength will increase significantly, and that will definitely be my peak moment," Hua Li sneered.
He gritted his teeth and said, "But this will damage my cultivation. The tribulation sixty years from now will be extremely difficult, and the six tribulations that demon cultivators experience will become nine tribulations."
"I will have to pay a much higher price than ordinary people to achieve this goal, and all of this is thanks to Ye Xingchen..."
"Then we must not let Ye Xingchen go. We must tear him to pieces." Liang Chenghu said through gritted teeth, "But I know Ye Xingchen. I'm afraid he won't give Mr. Hua three days."
"Does he really want to be so ruthless?" Hua Li was furious. He was really furious. Ye Xingchen shouldn't be so aggressive. He even took out the demon core in advance. What good would it do for that guy to push himself to the brink?
“I know this kid better than anyone. He never leaves any loose ends. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll try to contact some friends overseas and have them hire some top-notch assassins…” Liang Chenghu made a downward slicing gesture, his meaning clear: he was going to get rid of Ye Xingchen.
"A top-tier assassin?" Hua Li smiled, a bitter smile in it. "His strength is such that even a Saint-level expert would avoid him if it came down to a fight where both sides were severely injured. Would those assassins from overseas be of any use?"
“Even if it’s useless, it can at least buy some time for Mr. Hua.” Liang Chenghu said in a deep voice, “My friend overseas knows a team of assassins who belong to the Purgatory People.”
"They possess abilities that ordinary people don't have, equivalent to cultivation masters in China, and far more powerful than martial arts masters."
"Alright, go and invite them here. No matter the cost, you must buy me three days." Hua Li closed her eyes: "I need to go back to my lair and use three days to refine the demon core I've condensed. Then killing Ye Xingchen will be a piece of cake."
"Okay, Mr. Hua, please rest assured, I will definitely try to get you these three days." Liang Chenghu nodded heavily.
Hua Li rushed back to his lair to refine the demon core, while Liang Chenghu also contacted his friends overseas without hesitation, and the situation instantly became somewhat tense.
In a clubhouse in Fenghuangtai, Gu Manyun poured Ye Xingchen a glass of wine: "We've found out that Hua Li and Liang Chenghu are involved together. This guy is a menace, and we must get rid of him as soon as possible."
"Liang Chenghu is really lucky," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "If Hua Li hadn't suddenly appeared, we could have dealt with him completely after he seized the position of Liang family head."
"Yes, in your words, he was just destined to survive." Gu Manyun pushed her wine glass towards Ye Xingchen: "When do you plan to deal with him?"
“That brat Hua Li forced me to use a life-saving method to escape, but he is now severely injured. If we deal with him now, it will definitely be the best time.” Ye Xingchen took the wine from her hand and pondered, “But this brat managed to escape the first two times. I’m not sure if he has any other tricks up his sleeve.”
"Are you worried he'll escape again?" Gu Manyun looked up at Ye Xingchen.
“Yes, after all, the Yuanlong is a creature born from the creation of heaven and earth. This guy devoured the Yuanlong’s saliva, so his methods must be more numerous than those of ordinary demons. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to transform into human form with only five hundred years of cultivation.” Ye Xingchen nodded.
"So what do you plan to do?" Gu Manyun asked. To be honest, she was still a little scared. Although she had mustered up the courage to cut off his penis when he was caught off guard that day, she was lucky.
Moreover, that guy seems to have his eye on me. If I don't get rid of him in time, there will probably be endless trouble in the future.
Her life and fortune depended entirely on Ye Xingchen. If Ye Xingchen didn't take the initiative to resolve the issue, she really didn't know what to do.
"It's easy. This guy has devoured the Yuanlong Saliva. Besides having two golden scales to save his life, he should also condense the remaining power of the Yuanlong Saliva into a demon core to prepare for the heavenly tribulation."
Ye Xingchen pondered, "This time I have really pushed him to the point of desperation. If nothing unexpected happens, he will use the power within his demon core."
"It will take him at least three days to refine the demon core. After that, his strength will increase exponentially, and he will be much harder to deal with."
"What should we do? We must stop him before his demon core is fully formed." Gu Manyun was taken aback; this was no joke.
"Hehe, that's what they think too." Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh.
“We want to stop him before their demon cores are fully formed, and they will try to stall for these three days. During these three days, Liang Chenghu will definitely resort to desperate measures and use his strongest methods to deal with me.”
"You mean we should deal with Liang Chenghu first?" Gu Manyun glanced at Ye Xingchen.
"It's probably too late. Liang Chenghu has connections overseas, and the people he's hired to stall for time must be exceptionally capable," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "In that case, let's just wait for them to come to us."
"Waiting for them to come to us? That's not like you at all." Gu Manyun glanced at Ye Xingchen. "Don't you always like to take the initiative?"
