"No grudges?" The man sneered, "From the moment you made him fall in love, from the moment you made him fall in love, you've had a grudge against me."
He? Yan Xi?
Huo Xiao's eyes darkened. "I don't know who you are to him, but matters of the heart are not up to you and me. Are you targeting me because of this? Have you asked for his opinion? Your actions are a bit too selfish."
"He doesn't need this kind of emotion!" There was a sense of coercion in the man's voice. Huo Xiao instantly felt his internal organs hurt as if they were being cut by a knife, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.
Suddenly, the pendant on his chest flickered, which made him feel a little better.
"Is it that he doesn't need it, or do you think he doesn't need it?" Huo Xiao suppressed his discomfort and squeezed out a little sound from between his teeth. He looked at him neither servilely nor arrogantly, "He is a person, an independent individual. Who are you to make decisions for him?"
"Heh, are you trying to trick me?" The man waved his hand, and Huo Xiao's whole body hit the wall uncontrollably. He couldn't bear it anymore, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, the pendant on Huo Xiao's chest was pulled off by him and crushed into powder.
Huo Xiao looked at it and felt a surge of anger in his chest, stimulating him, "You..."
"I didn't expect that he would actually give you some of his abilities. Unfortunately, in front of me, they are not worth mentioning, just like you have no right to question me."
Huo Xiao moved his body and struggled for a long time before he forced himself to suppress the rage surging in his heart. Even though it hurt like hell, he forced himself to get up from the ground, leaning against the wall, and barely standing firm. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but still refused to give in and beg for mercy. "I'm just telling the truth. Why are you so angry? Do you strong people really enjoy destroying other people's beloved things?"
Seeing this, the man snorted and laughed, "I admire your fearlessness in the face of danger, but that's all I admire. Now, I'm giving you two choices. One is that you turn to ashes, and the other is that you let Lu Yanxi turn to ashes. As long as you choose the second option, you can live. Of course, if you choose the first option, he can survive and live a long life."
As he spoke, a dagger appeared in front of Huo Xiao.
There was a thick black aura surrounding the dagger, and Huo Xiaoguang felt uncomfortable just looking at it.
Huo Xiao didn't answer, but just looked at him expressionlessly, "Why should I listen to you?"
"Because you have no choice. If you don't choose one of the two, you will all die. I think you should have realized that I am not an ordinary mortal, so you can't defeat me. Don't even think about pretending to obey me or plotting against me. If I discover your intentions, you will all die without a burial place."
Faced with such a blatant threat, Huo Xiao had no power to resist. He clenched his hands again and again, but he was still powerless. He did not have the courage to risk the life of his beloved to fight with this man.
Just before this, he had vowed that he could protect Yan Xi, but now, let alone protecting him, it was even difficult for him to protect himself.
Huo Xiao suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe, every cell in his body was clamoring, and the pain was unbearable.
He trembled as he looked at the strange and powerful man in front of him, with endless murderous intent suppressed in his eyes.
Huo Xiao slowed down, caught the dagger, and calmed down, saying obediently: "Okay, I will hurry up and give you a satisfactory answer."
After saying that, he suddenly drew out his dagger and ran towards the other person.
But before he took a few steps, he was bounced out by a strong force and his body fell heavily on the desk.
Huo Xiao groaned in pain.
The man seemed to have anticipated his move. His emotions were remarkably stable, but his eyes were even colder. "Want to kill me? Don't you even consider whether you have the ability to do so? I'll give you one more chance to make a choice, otherwise I'll let you watch Lu Yanxi die in agony right in front of you."
The man said this coldly and disappeared from his sight.
Huo Xiao leaned on the desk and looked at the dagger beside him. He could no longer control his emotions and smashed everything on the table.
After the crackling sounds subsided, he looked at his blood-soaked hands and began to cry softly. His sobs were suppressed and heartbreaking.
This was the first time since he was old enough to understand that he felt like a failure, and also the first time he cried.
Huo Xiao, you are really a complete failure now...
