"shut up!"
Chen Hua roared, and the entire giant locust tree trembled, with the leaves rustling incessantly!
"You know nothing. All my businesses and assets were for... for..."
He stopped abruptly, a pained expression on his face.
Because he knew I was right; at first he really was after revenge, but later he was corrupted by money.
"Why? Why did you stop talking?"
"Strike while the iron is hot," I said with a cold smile.
"If your daughter knew that her father had become such a horrible figure and had used her name to kill so many people in the village, I wonder what she would think, and what your wife's spirit in heaven would think of you?"
"Shut up, shut up!"
Chen Hua frantically urged the branches to attack us, but the offensive became noticeably more chaotic.
But the overwhelming number of notes still left Old Chen and me a bit flustered.
I am like a lone boat adrift at sea, which could be capsized by the wind and waves at any moment.
If we're not careful, that branch will definitely pierce through us!
Looking at the strange, thick yellow liquid on top, I couldn't help but shudder!
If that thing were to pierce your body, the consequences...
And because I kept talking, he was deliberately targeting me! Almost two-thirds of the branches were attacking me!
"Alright, stop talking. If you keep provoking him like this, all the branches will probably attack you!"
Old Chen, who was standing nearby, looked a little worried and leaned closer to me, calling out.
But I shook my head. How could I give up now that I was so close to winning their hearts?!
"I heard your daughter's name is Ying'er, right? What a lovely name."
I softened my tone, my voice tinged with regret, and looked at Chen Hua with pity.
"If she were still alive, she would probably be in college by now. It's a pity she'll never know that her father turned into a monster who used her death to make money."
"Shut up, don't say another word!"
Chen Hua's voice began to tremble, and there was even a hint of pleading in his tone.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of two figures approaching rapidly in the distance, each carrying a large package!
It was Li Huai and Luo Tianhe!
Those two bastards are finally back! I was about to be killed by them!
I was secretly delighted, but on the surface I remained calm and continued speaking:
"What else could it be for? To satisfy your greed? Chen Hua, your wife and daughters are watching you from the afterlife, and they probably don't want to be reincarnated! They want to see how you can tarnish their reputations."
"Oh, right, they probably can't be reincarnated. After all, you did so many evil deeds, they have to pay for them even if they don't want to. They're probably suffering in the eighteenth level of hell right now!"
Zhenhua trembled violently, the hair on his face wriggling wildly. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.
Finally, he growled:
"Enough! You don't understand anything at all, and everyone is equally despicable, especially you. What right do you have to criticize me!"
I suddenly stepped back, and a look of wild joy instantly appeared on my face.
"Chen Hua, I was just kidding you!"
Seeing this, Chen Hua was stunned, and the branches' attack completely stopped.
I pointed to Li Huai and Luo Tianhe, who had already returned.
"See? My companions didn't run away; they just went to get what they needed to deal with you. Those words were just a way to buy time."
"But you actually believed it just now, and even spouted nonsense. You know what? I almost couldn't help but laugh!"
I laughed out loud.
"Teacher, what did you say? Did you laugh just now?"
Chen Hua's expression kept changing. He glanced at Li Huai and Luo Tianhe, who were carrying bundles, and at Old Chen, whose lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
Suddenly, the roots on his face began to writhe and slap wildly, as if he were slapping his own face.
He was clearly furious and utterly humiliated.
"You, you actually dared to play me!"
He finally realized what was happening and let out a deafening roar.
"I will refine you into the lowest of blood lackeys! Your souls will be imprisoned for all eternity, never to be reborn!"
"Give me the thing right now!"
I shouted at Li Huai and the others.
Luo Tianhe and Li Huai rushed over immediately and threw the package they were carrying to me.
"Hold on, give me 5 minutes!"
I quickly opened the package, taking out various magical artifacts as I spoke to them.
Li Huai and Luo Tianhe felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the extremely angry Chen Hua.
"Brother Yan, why is this guy so angry? I don't think five minutes will be enough!"
Li Huai spoke haltingly.
Seeing his pathetic state, Luo Tianhe became furious and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Can't you have some backbone? Even if you die, you should hold out for at least five minutes!"
Li Huai had a long face.
"If I were really afraid of dying, I would have run away and not come back. I'm just not capable enough!"
Chen Hua had gone completely mad; he no longer held back, and more branches stretched out from the tree canopy!
"You think you can hold out for five more minutes? You won't even last one minute!"
Chen Hua gave a cold shout, and then, to our somewhat despairing gaze, the villagers who had been kneeling and kowtowing actually stood up one by one.
The villagers, densely packed together, moved stiffly, their foreheads still dripping with blood, staring at us expressionlessly.
The next moment, they marched in unison, like zombies, toward us.
"Hahaha, I bet you won't last five minutes. You'll die here!"
Suddenly, I stopped pulling out my magical artifact.
There's no way those three could stop so many branches, and those villagers too!
He won't give me time to set up my formation!
I gritted my teeth, abandoned the formation, stood up, took out the dark hemp thread, and prepared to fight to the death.
Suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder, making me squat down again.
"Keep setting up your formation, I'll hold you off for five minutes."
A familiar, aged voice.
I couldn't help but tear up. I looked up and saw that my seventh uncle was indeed in a terrible state, covered in blood.
"Seventh Uncle!"
Old Chen turned his head and couldn't help but exclaim.
At this moment, Uncle Qi was no longer the always dignified Uncle Qi he remembered.
Seventh Uncle was covered in blood, and his left arm was twisted unnaturally, clearly broken!
The severed finger he had bitten off was still bleeding, staining his entire palm crimson.
Uncle Qi's face was deathly pale, and every step he took seemed extremely difficult, as if he might collapse at any moment.
But his eyes were exceptionally bright, burning like flames, flashing with a resolute light.
