Cao Wei is quite a figure.
Knowing he couldn't sway Luo Chen's decision, he showed no sign of panic.
Praying to live is an instinct, but what if you can't live?
Cao Wei will no longer lose his backbone.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid... you will never see me again."
Cao Wei smiled bitterly, turned his head slightly, and saw the rapidly falling blade through his eyes.
The blade suddenly slashed down in mid-air, bringing with it a piercing whistling sound.
Luo Chen, gripping the hilt of his sword, had an unreadable look in his eyes, like a ruthless monarch punishing a guilty subject.
"don't want!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Cao Wei still let out a shout, and his hand seemed to stretch out uncontrollably.
Luo Chen wouldn't back down just because of what the other party said. He suddenly slashed down: "Sizzle—"
Everyone present was immediately stunned.
Then, Luo Chen put the dagger back into its sheath, turned around, and walked back.
At the same time, he didn't forget to throw the knife back, and said without turning his head, "This time, you wanted my life. I'm not a magnanimous person. In fact, I'm petty. This debt must be settled. So, after this stab, we're even."
Startled, Cao Wei opened his eyes in disbelief. He stretched out his palms and felt his body, but found no place that caused pain.
Until Cao Wei looked down and saw a horrifying knife wound running from right to left on his chest.
If you only look at this knife mark... no one would say that the cut was too light.
However, the knife mark was on the clothes.
That's right, Cao Wei was not hurt at all; Luo Chen only made a cut on his clothes.
"you……"
Cao Wei was taken aback.
"What, disappointed that you didn't die?"
Luo Chen said calmly, "Don't worry, the police won't investigate you. The Luo family won't interfere with what happened today. Whether or not this matter can be suppressed depends on your master Ye Feng's abilities."
"Don't think that... the police in China are useless. This is China, not your country."
Luo Chen smiled mockingly and said, "If you really did anything to Zhao Meng'er and the others today, or to me... then you would truly be courting death!"
"Fortunately, the group you found is very weak."
"Yes... luckily they were weak." Cao Wei swallowed, a sense of lingering fear rising in his heart.
Fortunately, when I was dissatisfied with the thugs Wu Er had hired, my remaining rationality stopped me from seeking out stronger and more professional assassins. Instead, I insisted on using these people, which prevented a terrible outcome.
At this moment, Luo Chen, who had already walked up to Fang Xue and the others, suddenly turned around and faced Cao Wei, saying, "I don't expect to become friends with you or Ye Feng behind you, but I hope you can keep your promise and not harm the Luo family in the slightest within a year. I hope you understand."
"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you again."
Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, his smile returning, and said, "Thank you, Luo Chen. If we weren't on different sides, we might have become very good friends."
"Forget it, I don't want to be friends with someone who wants to kill me. Besides, your entire Temple of War is probably thinking about how to kill me right now."
Luo Chen shook his head and asked, "How is the personnel structure of your organization? What is your rank within it?"
Cao Wei looked troubled, unsure whether to tell Luo Chen.
Luo Chen remained silent, standing with his arms crossed in front of Cao Wei, quietly watching him.
He believed that the other party would not let him down.
"Never mind, it won't hurt to tell you."
Cao Wei shrugged and let out a long sigh.
He knew that if he didn't speak up, he might not be able to leave this place today.
"What, you don't want to talk about it?"
Seeing that Cao Wei had not responded for a long time, Luo Chen frowned slightly and asked.
"No, no, no, I do."
Cao Wei waved his hand and explained, "I belong to the Temple of War Gods. The leader of this organization is Ye Feng. I suppose you've already guessed that. In our organization, we are called Fallen Angels. There are twelve Fallen Angels in total, and I am one of them, ranked ninth."
"As you can see, my strength only ranks ninth. Everyone ahead of me... is stronger than me. Apart from the twelve fallen angels, the levels above that... are beyond my ability to discuss. It's not that I'm unwilling to discuss it, but... if I were to reveal it, everyone present would die."
"I know, Luo Chen, you must have a secret, but believe me, nothing can stop the Temple of War, so don't be curious about the Temple of War."
Cao Wei swallowed hard and continued, "The reason we've come to you this time is because... Ye Lin's death is related to you, and the Temple of War is destined to be your Luo family's enemy."
"Fortunately, I still have some status within the Temple of War, so I won't be easily abandoned. Therefore... it's possible to exchange my life for a year of survival for the Luo family."
Mentioning this, Cao Wei couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
This feeling of being at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board, is really not pleasant.
But he had no choice; to save his life, Cao Wei had to bite the bullet and bow down to Luo Chen.
After all, who would willingly choose death if they could live?
Even the toughest man, if he can live, he won't die!
“Go on.”
Luo Chen spoke calmly, without any expression on his face.
Contrary to his expression, Luo Chen's heart was already in turmoil.
Cao Wei's strength is enough to rank him among the top three people Luo Chen has ever met.
It might not even be third!
With such formidable Grandmaster-level strength, if it weren't for the chance to unlock the system's martial arts library, I probably wouldn't have been a match for Cao Wei at all, given my initial Grandmaster-level strength.
How could someone so strong only rank ninth?
How terrifying must the cultivation levels of the top eight fallen angels be?
What about further up?
Where is Ye Feng?
Just thinking about it made Luo Chen's heart sink slowly, until it reached the bottom of the valley.
He didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
"Before coming here, the Temple of War had assigned a level to the mission to kill you. Who would have thought that you, with a mission rating of only S-, could unleash such strength? That's why... I've become like this now."
Cao Wei's face was filled with a bitter smile.
Yes, if he had known that Luo Chen was this strong, he wouldn't have dared to come out alone. If he had made more preparations, he definitely wouldn't have lost so badly!
