Chapter 889: I Want Him to Have the Best of Best of Both Worlds!

“I know you’re powerful, but don’t even think of taking him away on my watch!” With the determination to sacrifice his life, the Shadow Death assassin rushed straight at Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei raised his hand, and a tremendous pressure weighed upon the assassin. However, the latter made no move to resist and let the attack tear his body apart. Then, a strange fluctuation spread and sealed the space around Bai Xiaofei.

“You can’t escape from the Prison of Death, Bai Xiaofei. Watch us leave. And I hope you can still be so domineering the next time we meet!” coldly said the assassin with the teleportation ability, no longer fearful upon seeing Bai Xiaofei fixed in one spot.

“Why wait for ‘next time’ when I can do it now?”

Bai Xiaofei’s voice suddenly rang out behind the assassin, who looked back with a horrified expression. Before he could finish the teleportation, blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth after an earth spike pierced right through his heart.

“Ho… how…” the assassin asked the last question of his life with an expression of disbelief and despair.

Generously, Bai Xiaofei pointed at ‘himself’ who was still fixed. The assassin turned to look, only to see a piece of stone.

So it’s just an illusion… Thought the assassin as life left his body.

Not even sparing him a glance, Bai Xiaofei walked toward the remaining two assassins and said, “Give him to me, and I’ll give you two a quick death.”

However, his answer was their attacks!

Shaking his head with pity, Bai Xiaofei appeared in front of them in a flicker. A fiery red flame flared and turned the assassins to ashes, leaving only the mastermind behind the human puppets.

“I’m really curious, which godsmith are you? Should I do it or do you do it yourself?” Bai Xiaofei asked slowly.

The man covered in a black robe laughed. “What an outstanding youngster! Who would have thought Shadow Death is helpless against such a boy? Did I overestimate them or underestimate you?”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei laughed. “Should be both, but it’s over now, isn’t it?” As he talked, he released his spirit and thoroughly scanned the surroundings.

“No need to be so careful. There’s nothing around here. I have to admire your caution, though. You actually guessed that they would have the ability to limit you,” praised the man as he saw through Bai Xiaofei’s little action.

“You can never be too careful, no? The reason why you are in this situation is because you weren’t careful enough,” said Bai Xiaofei lightly. However, the man’s next sentence made his heart turn cold.

“Who told you I wasn’t?” With a sneer, the man took off his hood, revealing a kind of pale face that Bai Xiaofei couldn’t be more familiar with –

A human puppet?!

“It’s only forging experimental products. Controlling a human puppet to do it for me was enough. However, be proud of yourself. Only you know that I’ve been using a human puppet to forge human puppets,” the man nonchalantly revealed.

Calming down, Bai Xiaofei gradually accepted the reality that all of his efforts had gone down the drain. He deactivated Spiritualization and looked at the man. “In that case, let’s have a chat.”

There is no need to get upset after you lose an opportunity. Try hard and maybe you will find the next one right away.

“What makes you so sure that I want to talk to you? We are enemies.” The man chuckled with a slightly humanized expression on his lifeless face.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei’s heart sank. For a human puppet to be capable of making such an expression, the forging technology had reached an alarming level.

“Since you had Shadow Death release those defective experimental products all over the place, it means that you want this matter to be noticed. If I guess correctly, you have an unavoidable reason to forge human puppets and were left with no choice but to borrow the power of Shadow Death.”

“However, you overreached and couldn’t get rid of them. Therefore, you deliberately slowed down your progress and found a way to attract people with authority to handle Shadow Death for you.”

“So, you and I may not be enemies, but the cooperation between you and Shadow Death is a shaky one. Now that you want to terminate this cooperation, I am your best helper. That’s why you will talk to me.”

Bai Xiaofei made a confident speech. While listening, the smile on the man’s face deepened.

“Young man, you should know that smart people often don’t live long,” he said the most irritating words in the kindest tone.

Bai Xiaofei wasn’t fazed. He retorted, “But often, stupid people don’t even know how they die, do they?”

A short silence filled the space.

Then, the man said what Bai Xiaofei wanted to hear most, “Go ahead, what do you want to ask?”

“Why do you want to forge human puppets?”

“No comment.”

“What is the content of cooperation between you and Shadow Death?”

“No comment.”
