I glanced at him; the guy was sallow and thin.
If it weren't for the sneak attack just now, I could have knocked him down with one punch.
He had just been kicked by Li Huai and hadn't recovered yet, but he still dared to make threats.
He was also influenced by that vixen; otherwise, he would never have provoked us like that.
Faced with this situation, Li Huai remained smiling, seemingly unconcerned.
"It's alright, Chen Yan. It's three against two, so the advantage is in my hands."
"Yeah?"
The vixen revealed a meaningful smile, then snapped her fingers, and with a click, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Then, to our horror, the three of us discovered that a human skin had slowly emerged from the bedroom.
No, it's not appropriate to say goodbye.
After all, this thing had no bones and was wriggling on the ground like a rag doll being manipulated by its head.
Even more horrifying is that almost every joint of his body was twisted.
Arms and legs drooped and dragged at angles that defied physiological structure, each step accompanied by a tooth-grinding, subtle rustling sound of leather.
It was as thin as a crumpled sheet of rice paper, yet it strangely maintained a basic human shape.
His skin was covered with large and small livid spots, but no one knew what method the fox spirit used, his skin did not rot, as if it had been refined.
Where his facial features used to be, they are now empty; his eyeballs and nose have vanished, giving us all goosebumps.
Luo Tianhe and I, along with others, felt our scalps tingle and a chill run from our heels to the top of our heads.
Damn, this thing is too weird.
I couldn't help but curse under my breath.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ming, standing to the side, was now like a puppet who had completely lost his mind.
Seeing his former friend Erhei in this state, he felt no fear whatsoever.
Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
With the appearance of the human skin, we all smelled a putrid stench, mixed with the unique fishy smell of a fox spirit.
Suddenly, all three of us felt a churning in our stomachs and couldn't help but feel nauseous.
He stood there beside the fox spirit, seemingly watching us intently.
Li Huai forced himself to speak:
"It's three against three now, let me assign the roles,"
“This Erhei is also involved in the underworld. Luo Tianhe, since you are the gang leader, he is now in your hands.”
“Zhao Ming is so weak, Chen Yan, you go ahead, he’s easy to deal with, I’ll leave him to you.”
"This vixen, hmph, I'll take care of her."
At this point, Li Huai licked his lips.
I couldn't help but twitch my lips. If it weren't for the calming talisman I gave Li Huai'an, I would have thought he was being controlled by this vixen!
Even at this point, they still thought that the fox spirit was a beautiful woman with little fighting ability, as if she could only manipulate men's minds.
Upon hearing this, the fox spirit seemed to have taken a liking to Li Huai as well, sizing up his muscular body and licking her lips.
Luo Tianhe shrugged.
"Since Li Huai has said so, let's arrange it this way for now. Good luck, Li Huai, I believe you can handle her!"
Luo Tianhe's words of encouragement almost made me choke.
Li Huai, that idiot, got carried away by lust at the crucial moment. You're being stupid too, aren't you?
If he goes up there and gets taken care of by that vixen in no time, he'll just become another burden.
"But you can still deal with that skinny guy. I'll handle Zhao Ming. We're both gangsters, so we're practically family. It's not good to take action against him. But dealing with a good-for-nothing like Zhao Gongming is my specialty."
Luo Tianhe continued speaking, then turned to look at me, silently saying something.
I watched his lips move, and it seemed he was talking about Tian Ji's horse racing strategy.
Suddenly, I understood what he meant.
According to the rules of Tian Ji's horse race, the best horses for both sides are me and that fox spirit.
The inferior horses, naturally, are this Li Huai and that Zhao Ming, who is extremely weak in the kidneys.
Luo Tianhe wants us to quickly deal with that human skin and Zhao Ming first.
Then the three of us will deal with the fox spirit. Li Huai has a lot of protective items, so the fox spirit won't be able to take him down so quickly.
This kid's got some tricks up his sleeve.
I nodded silently.
The fox spirit looked at us meaningfully.
Then, Li Huai took the lead and pounced on the fox spirit.
Luo Tianhe and I couldn't help but show expressions of shock. You're that brave, kid?
Why weren't you so cool when we encountered ghosts before?
To our utter astonishment, the fox spirit actually acted like a frail woman, and was easily tackled to the ground by Li Huai.
Damn it!
Luo Tianhe and I both cursed inwardly, "Is this kid going to start a fight right in front of us?!"
However, even if it happens, it's not a big deal. It's just absorbing a wave of Li Huai's yang energy, and it won't cause any harm if it happens only once.
After all, Zhao Ming was drained so many times, and he's still alive, isn't he?
In that time, we can definitely deal with the human skin and Zhao Ming, and then we can deal with this vixen. It's better than going straight into battle.
Luo Tianhe, like a tiger released from its cage, had a clear target and pounced straight at the manipulated Zhao Ming!
Although he knew Zhao Ming was mentally unstable, he still showed no mercy in his attack.
Anyway, he had long been annoyed with this guy, and for a moment he didn't know if he was taking revenge for personal reasons.
Looking at Li Huai, who seemed to be enjoying himself, and Luo Tianhe's punches landing like blows on a punching bag, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.
Damn it, why am I the only one facing this thing?
That human skin, now with its dark, lifeless eyes, stared intently at me.
Suddenly, he lunged at me, bringing with him a strong stench of corpses.
I couldn't help but gag.
He took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on his forehead in the blink of an eye.
But in the next instant, the yellow talisman burst into flames, and the human skin's movements were only stopped for a moment.
I glanced at the vixen. Although she seemed to be fighting with Li Huai, she was mostly focused on me.
The human skin lunged at me again, and a dense aura of yin energy instantly surged from its hands.
Instead of retreating, I adopted a unique footwork that appeared chaotic yet subtly rhythmic.
The human-skin arms, like boneless whips, lashed at me from the left and right with a sharp whistling sound!
It was extremely fast, almost completely blocking my space to dodge left or right.
I dare not take this directly; if I were to come into contact with the corpse poison and yin energy on it, it would be no laughing matter.
At the critical moment, I leaned back sharply, almost parallel to the ground, and narrowly escaped having two human skin arms brush past the tip of my nose!
