At this time, Xie Cheng collapsed to the ground powerlessly, blood gushing out of his injured palm like a fountain, staining the ground beneath him red.
He stared with wide eyes at the rune on the back of his hand that had disappeared, his heart filled with fear and despair.
At this moment, he finally felt an unprecedented fear, and his voice began to tremble with extreme terror.
"No... Impossible. How could you possibly break the runes cast by the elders? You are clearly a useless waste..." Xie Cheng muttered to himself in disbelief.
However, facing Xie Cheng's questioning, Xie Qi just smiled coldly, then slowly squatted down, looking down at Xie Cheng who was still chattering, and spoke again: "Are you still stubborn? Who ordered you to do this? As long as you tell the truth honestly, perhaps I can consider letting you suffer less."
Hearing this, Xie Cheng's body trembled even more violently. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied haltingly, "Yes...it was the master who told me. He said you were dead. He also helped me prepare the fake engagement letter, and he also told me your birth date and horoscope."
"Who is the sir?" Xie Qi asked urgently.
Xie Cheng shook his head anxiously, crying, "I... I don't know, I really don't know! Every time he met me, he would cover his face, and he always took the initiative to look for me..."
Hearing this useless clue, Xie Qi was so angry that he used the tip of the sword in his hand and stabbed Xie Cheng's injured palm without hesitation. Once, twice, three times... His palm was already bloody, but Xie Qi had no intention of stopping.
At the same time, he was still muttering: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'll make sure you don't know!"
Xie Cheng wailed in agony, tears pouring out like a broken dam. He desperately begged for mercy, "Ah! Stop poking me! Please, spare me! I... I remember now. He... he should be from Wuxing Academy. I've seen him holding the academy's doorplate... and he smells like elixir. He must be an alchemist. He's about 160 to 170 cm tall and very thin. I... that's all I know. I really don't know anything else..."
Xie Qi paused for a moment after hearing this. He stared at Xie Cheng, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.
After a moment, he seemed certain that the other party had indeed revealed everything he knew, and there were no more useful clues to be obtained. In this case, it was pointless to continue to tangle with Xie Cheng.
Xie Qi's lips curled slightly, and then he raised his sword and stabbed it straight into Xie Cheng's heart. Xie Cheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. As the sword completely penetrated his body, a large stream of blood gushed out of Xie Cheng's mouth, staining the ground in front of him red.
Xie Qi looked at Xie Cheng, who was still breathing, and said, "Don't look at me. I didn't break my promise. This can be considered as a painless death for you."
After saying this, Xie Qi pulled out his sword with force, and Xie Cheng's body fell to the ground with a bang, completely losing his life.
