Strike while he's weak; take his life.

Shen Leyou isn't sick, but he is weak.

Having just completed life's great harmony, he is now in a period of physical weakness.

Even though he too has reached the Grandmaster Realm, Tang Fei, being full against the empty, only needs a little time to cut him down.

Unfortunately, the one thing Tang Fei lacks is time.

This is why, even knowing Shen Leyou's punch was only meant to dissuade him, he still pressed forward, exchanging a knife for a punch.

It's the quickest way to solve the problem and deal with Shen Leyou.

Speaking of endurance battles...

Endurance is a good habit, but it doesn't suit Tang Fei.

Slash!

The blade pierces the chest cavity.

It makes a chilling sound as flesh is sliced open.

Blood spurts wildly.

Bang!

Tang Fei's chest is struck by a punch too.

He feels an overwhelming force crashing into him, like a flying boulder suddenly hitting his chest.

In an instant, his facial features contort in agony, his internal organs threatening to shatter.

How can the power of a Grandmaster be so easily endured?

Luckily, he has the Protective Cloak gifted by his brother, Evil God, otherwise, he'd surely be shattered.

This is why he dared to take Shen Leyou's punch head-on.

The key is the information gap.

After all, he has the Evil God Cloak, which Shen Leyou is unaware of.

Shen Leyou was still naked moments ago, now wearing a woman's silk nightgown...

How can that offer any protection?

In one strike, the distance between the two of them quickly widened.

Shen Leyou looked down at his chest, eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

The nightgown is torn open, a slender cut gushing blood.

He hurriedly tried to use Yin Yang Power to close the wound, fearing that if he continued to bleed, he would die.

But he couldn't stop the bleeding at all.

He now realized that the problem lay with the Dog Leg Knife in Tang Fei's hand.

Shen Leyou lifted his head, his eyes filled with harshness, staring at Tang Fei.

He doesn't recognize this person and has never seen him before.

But he possesses the strength of the Grandmaster Realm.

When an expert strikes, you'll know if he's skilled.

The punch just now was delivered in anger, without reservation...

He took it directly and remained unharmed.

Such an expert could definitely not be unknown.

"Which faction sent you as a Dead Pool?" Shen Leyou asked gravely.

Preferring to take a punch to stab me with a knife?

What grievance could there be?

If not a Dead Pool, then what?

"Done too many guilty deeds, and now you don't even know who wants your life?" Tang Fei sneered, taunting.

He took a red pill from his pocket and swallowed it, a gift from his good brother Evil God, which helps with blood flow, concentration, energy replenishment, and physical fortitude.

Thanks to the Evil God Brothers.

"Taking you down will reveal everything." Shen Leyou was not provoked by Tang Fei's taunts. Remaining calm in critical moments was something his Grandpa always taught him.

In such a crisis, his mind instead became extremely calm: "I don't care who you are, or who sent you. I will make you beg for life and wish for death."

To become the Shadow Emperor of the Shen Family, Shen Leyou naturally mastered the art of interrogation and killing.

He was confident he could pry open anyone's mouth.

"Help...!"

"Someone... help...!"

During their mutual probing, Dongguo Chenxi felt extreme fear.

She shouted hoarsely.

But unfortunately, all the servants and guards in the courtyard had been sent away, and the soundproofing materials in the Imperial Palace were too good...

Her cries for help couldn't get out.

Shen Leyou glanced at Dongguo Chenxi, reached for a candlestick, and then swung it towards her head.

Crack!

Dongguo Chenxi's head was broken and bleeding, bones cracked, she fainted.

There was no more sound.

He knew that an assassin's invasion would surely alert the outside guards.

Most of the guards in Fengming Palace were his people, but not entirely.

The Zhong Royal Family and Yu Family also had some resistive capabilities; it was impossible for them to entrust the entire security of Fengming Palace to the Shen Family.

Moreover, not all Shen Family members were his own people...

There was a big difference between Shen Family members and Shen Leyou's people.

In this way, his affair with Dongguo Chenxi was bound to be known to the outside world.

Since that's the case, he might as well kill her directly.

He just needed to take care of the boy in front of him, then he could blame all the crimes on the assassin.

Assassins kill and commit heinous acts... what's it got to do with me, Shen Leyou?

At most, bear some responsibility for inadequate protection.

Before resolving Tang Fei, he didn't want Dongguo Chenxi to make a fuss...

After all, he's still wearing Dongguo Chenxi's nightgown.

If others saw it, he wouldn't be able to explain.

Tang Fei witnessed Shen Leyou make short work of Dongguo Chenxi, the woman he had just intertwined with, and couldn't help but sigh at how ruthless these aristocratic scions were, capable of anything.

Heartless describes people like this.

"You killed her?"

"No, you killed her," Shen Leyou replied gravely.

"Ha..."

Tang Fei instantly understood his scheme, chuckling, "If you want me to take the fall, you have to keep me here first."

"I had that in mind," Shen Leyou replied confidently.

Although he had been stabbed, he didn't believe the other could endure his punch without issue.

He was a young Grandmaster, having achieved the rank even earlier than Shen Xinglan.

Even his cousin, hailed as a 'genius Cultivator,' didn't dare take a punch from him; what about this guy?

In his view, Tang Fei was merely bluffing now.

Tang Fei just spat blood from his mouth and secretly took a red pill, indicating his severe injuries.

When his internal organs suffer extensive damage, and his Dantian is destroyed...

The only path left is death.

He has patience.

The longer he waits, the greater his chances of success.

Worst case scenario...

He can still call for help.

In conversation, Tang Fei felt his breathing stabilize, and the Yin Yang Qi within his body began to flow normally again.

While talking, he was mainly busy balancing the Yin Yang Qi within.

The punch earlier had disrupted his Yin Yang Qi...

Without a word, he charged towards Shen Leyou again with the Dog Leg Knife in hand.

Moving like a specter, striking like thunder.

Moreover, he used the third sword from the Netherworld Scroll, a highly lethal technique:

No mercy.

No holding back.

No return.

Shen Leyou's pupils dilated in shock, exclaiming, "Tang Fei..."

He hadn't encountered Tang Fei in reality, but he had meticulously studied the core figures among the Tang Family remnants.

His desk was still adorned with Tang Fei's files, with videos of his past fights and maps used by the First Military Academy still being studied repeatedly.

He hadn't imagined this person was pretending to be Tang Fei nor foresaw the Empire's top wanted criminal infiltrating Fengming Palace undetected, attempting to assassinate him.

This was too astonishing...

And too thrilling.
