Chapter 554 I will tear him to pieces!
Pei Xingyuan refused to let go, even though the flames were still pouring in through the window and almost burning his hair. He gritted his teeth and held onto Jin Daji's arm tightly.
Even he was like this, and Jin Daji, who was forcibly dragged to the window and whose lower body was almost engulfed by flames, was jumping up and down.
He turned around in terror and shouted, "Help! Come quick!"
The men in black were stunned by the sudden turn of events. They only snapped out of their daze when they heard his screams and rushed forward. However, Jin Daji struggled several times, kicking the burning firewood outside the window everywhere. The rising flames kept the men from getting close for a while.
One of them asked anxiously, "Brother Jin, what should we do?"
Jin Daji's legs were already on fire. He screamed in agony as he turned around and shouted, "Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
The men in black were about to make their move, but hesitated, saying, "But we are under orders—"
Before they could finish speaking, Jin Daji's face was contorted with rage, and he roared furiously, "Put out the fire first, save me, then set him on fire and burn him to death, you bastard!"
Those people then came to their senses.
They rushed forward, some grabbing buckets to fetch water, others tearing off their clothes and desperately hitting Jin Daji's feet, accompanied by Jin Daji's constant screams and roars.
After a flurry of activity, the flames outside the door and windows were finally extinguished.
Thick smoke billowed, blinding Pei Xingyuan in the room and causing tears to stream down his face. Even so, he instinctively clung tightly to Jin Daji's scorched arm until the last flame died down. Several burly men in black stepped forward, grabbed the dying Jin Daji, and pulled him back with all their might.
"ah--!"
Another piercing scream echoed through the desolate night. A layer of flesh was forcibly torn off Jin Daji's hand, and Pei Xingyuan finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was pulled and stumbled, crashing into the scorching hot windowsill, and finally let go of his hands.
The men, carrying Jin Daji, stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground.
At this moment, by the light of the distant fire, Jin Daji was seen with his face covered in soot and his legs charred black, barely able to stand up. His wrists were also covered in blood and flesh. He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, then raised his head and stared intently at Pei Xingyuan inside the window with his bloodshot eyes.
From between his teeth, he spat out a few words viciously—
"Kill him!"
The men in black were stunned. One of them got up and immediately tried to light the torches again to burn the house down, but Jin Daji, with red eyes, said fiercely, "I'm not going to burn him to death!"
The burly man in black was taken aback and turned to look at him.
Jin Daji stared intently at Pei Xingyuan: "Open the door! I'm going to tear him to pieces!"
The man in black was startled and hesitated. The person next to him said, "Brother Jin, didn't we say before that we couldn't let him out, lest he escape?"
"It's safer to lock them up inside and burn them to death."
"This person is too cunning. If we really open the door, I'm afraid he'll have other tricks up his sleeve."
At this moment, Jin Daji's anger had overwhelmed his reason. He struggled to his feet, the excruciating pain in his legs and hands, along with the burning sensation throughout his body, fueling his rage. He roared, "With so many of us, are we afraid he'll run away? Today, I'll tear him to pieces!"
The group exchanged glances. Although they knew that Jin Daji had lost his mind, they were not afraid that Pei Xingyuan would escape, given their numbers. Moreover, the chaos they had just gone through—lighting and then putting out the fire—had destroyed much of the firewood they had prepared, and they wouldn't have enough to start another fire.
Why not just go straight to the point?
With that thought in mind, one of them stepped forward and, seeing that the red-hot iron lock couldn't be opened, simply raised his foot and kicked open the charred wooden door with a bang.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed into the small, sweltering room.
Pei Xingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, his tense chest seemed to be suddenly released, and the equally cold air poured into his chest like a sharp sword, causing him to cough. However, he was not completely choked and, while coughing, he still instinctively tried to rush towards the door.
But as soon as I got close, I was shoved hard by a hand.
Pei Xingyuan staggered a few steps before barely managing to stand. Looking up, he saw several burly men rushing into the room, closing in step by step. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pei Xingyuan could only slowly retreat.
But in this small room, after only a few steps, his back bumped into the cold, hard wall on the other side.
Pei Xingyuan's chest burned with pain, but his hands and feet were ice-cold. He watched as these people slowly surrounded him, and Jin Daji limped in, his legs trembling as he passed over their shoulders. The dim light in the room couldn't hide his ferocious expression and fierce eyes. When he stared at Pei Xingyuan, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted nothing more than to rush up and skin him alive.
At this point, he had no strength left to do anything except stand up.
So he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black immediately drew several daggers from their waists. The gleaming blades flashed across Pei Xingyuan's face, causing him to squint slightly.
The blade was already close to his throat.
The chilling aura emanating from the sharp blade was even more terrifying.
Even at this moment, Pei Xingyuan still opened his eyes wide. Instead of begging for mercy, his eyes, which were also red and bright, stared straight at Jin Daji standing at the door.
That look in his eyes infuriated Jin Daji even more.
He strained his hoarse voice, letting out an unbearable, hissing growl: "Kill them—"
The word "kill" was abruptly cut off as soon as it was uttered.
As if they had been sliced in two by a blade as sharp as the one before them, the men in black, who were about to raise their daggers to attack Pei Xingyuan, suddenly sensed something was wrong upon hearing this word and hurriedly turned around.
Then they saw Jin Daji standing at the door, suddenly frozen in place, his eyes bulging out, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only make gurgling sounds, unable to utter a single word.
The group of people were taken aback: "Brother Jin, what's wrong?"
"Ah—ah—!"
Jin Daji shook his head again, his eyes bulging so much that they almost popped out of their sockets, but he still couldn't utter a single word. His appearance was so ferocious and twisted that he looked like a demon from hell, which was particularly terrifying in the darkness of the night.
Even more terrifying, his legs slowly lifted off the ground, leaving him suspended in mid-air!
At this moment, Pei Xingyuan's eyes also widened!
The men in black were terrified and instinctively turned to face him, ignoring Pei Xingyuan behind them, and asked in alarm, "Brother Jin, what's wrong?"
"Yes, who is it?"
"What on earth happened?!"
Just as everyone was in a panic, Pei Xingyuan saw that several black spots appeared on Jin Daji's stiff neck, as if a hand was gripping his neck from behind, with only half of the fingertips showing; behind him, a tall black figure was slowly walking out, but was mostly obscured by the raised Jin Daji, only a vague outline of a burly mountain could be seen, step by step into the room.
It was like Mount Tai pressing down, making it impossible for everyone in the room to breathe.
At this moment, Kim Dae-gil truly couldn't breathe.
Before he could struggle, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and his neck felt as if the bones had been removed. It slumped to the side, and his head drooped at an unimaginable angle onto his shoulder.
My whole body went limp.
"Brother Jin!"
One of the men in black stepped forward, about to say something, but the words were cut off by the gruesome death of Jin Daji. He stopped abruptly, his eyes widening in horror as he stared at the shadowy figure behind Jin Daji.
"Who, who are you—"
Only at this moment did a cold and stern face appear behind Kim Dae-gil!
It's Yuwen Ye!
He held up Kim Dae-gil, whose throat had been crushed and who looked like a dead dog hanging up, with one hand raised high. His face was expressionless as he coldly stared at the several black-clad men in the room who were stunned. His icy gaze was even sharper than the blades in their hands.
Upon seeing him, the men in black gasped in shock.
How is that possible?!
They left men to block their way along the way, and even led Pei Xingyuan to this place in the darkness of night—even in broad daylight, it's unlikely anyone would find this place so quickly. How did Yuwen Ye end up here?!
Just as they were filled with terror and at a loss, Yuwen Ye slowly put down the golden chrysanthemum in his hand.
With a flick of his wrist, the dark, emaciated corpse slumped limply to his feet like an empty sack. Yuwen Ye didn't even glance at it, stepping over Jin Daji's body and coldly staring at them: "Do you want me to do it, or do you want to surrender yourselves?"
The group exchanged glances, their eyes instantly brimming with fear and anger.
Regardless, they knew what they had to do tonight, and now that they had been defeated, they were doomed.
Instead, we should fight our way out.
not to mention--
Behind them was Pei Xingyuan!
Thinking this, the group immediately turned around, intending to grab Pei Xingyuan as a hostage. However, they discovered that Pei Xingyuan had taken advantage of their momentary lapse in attention and walked along the other side of the wall directly towards Yuwen Ye.
"Grab him!"
Several people were shocked and hurriedly tried to grab him, but Pei Xingyuan wouldn't let them reach out. He rushed behind Yuwen Ye in one stride, and Yuwen Ye reacted quickly and immediately reached out to protect him.
Immediately, several figures rushed in from behind him and blocked their way.
It was Mu Xian who arrived with several of his men!
Upon seeing them arrive, Pei Xingyuan was both surprised and delighted. Grabbing Yuwen Ye with one hand and pointing at the men in black with the other, he shouted angrily, "Fengchen, Fengchen, kill them quickly! You scared me to death!"
