Hidden Blade

Xu Han had killed the demon corpse.

There's more than one.

Even though these demon corpses were all humans before they died, after they turned into demon corpses, there was no trace of them other than their figures.

To Xu Han, killing them was practically without any psychological pressure other than the fear he felt at the beginning.

However, the heads that rolled out of the boy's bag were different. They were human heads, the heads of those who were once alive.

To Xu Han, who was only twelve years old, holding a human head in his hand was naturally not a good experience.

He suddenly understood that this seemingly harmless boy was actually a vicious person who was trying to gather ten heads by relying on a human head.

This thought shocked him, but at the same time, he understood how threatened Liu Sheng 's current situation was.

Ignoring the deep bone wound on his chest, he picked up the dagger that had landed on the ground and pounced towards the boy. He wanted to stop him before he attacked Liu Sheng .

At this time, the boy's dagger had already pierced into Liu Sheng 's face. Liu Sheng , who was sitting on the ground, had no room to dodge.

His heart skipped a beat at that moment, and courage was born from nowhere. His hand suddenly stretched out, and he held the dagger that the boy had stabbed at him at an extremely fast speed.

The boy obviously did not expect Liu Sheng to be so ruthless, and he actually dared to catch his dagger with his hand.

After a slight shock, a sinister smile appeared on his face. His hand holding the dagger forcefully stabbed forward.

Liu Sheng 's face turned deathly pale at that moment, and blood began to flow down from between his fingers.

The dagger had already cut his hand, and a bone-chilling pain came from it, causing his brain to go numb. The force coming from the dagger became even stronger, which made it impossible for him to grip the dagger tightly any longer. Naturally, such an action would inevitably cause the wound on his hand to continue to be torn apart.

The little boy smiled even more sinisterly. This expression, coupled with his almost harmless face, was strange and gloomy.

He seemed to enjoy the process.

This was a process that looked like his opponent was constantly struggling, but was still moving towards death step by step.

This made Xu Han and Liu Sheng 's hearts go numb. They finally realized that the boy in front of them was a terrifying enemy.

It was so terrifying that even the ferocious demon corpses outside the dense forest couldn't compare to it.

Sometimes, people are more terrifying than monsters.

Xu Han didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He wasn't sure how long Liu Sheng could last. In the end, this situation was caused by his own woman's benevolence.

He calmed down and dragged his wounded body as he tried his best to run towards the boy.

However, his injuries were quite serious. The deep bone wound on his chest was still spilling blood. His head also became a little dizzy from losing too much blood, and he was still able to move completely by relying on an obsession in his mind.

He doesn't want to die here.

His life shouldn't be like this.

With this obsession, he finally came to the boy's back, raised the dagger in his hand, and was about to wave it down.

That stab almost used up all of Xu Han's strength, but in the eyes of the boy, this stab was like a child playing tricks on his family, and it seemed powerless.

Another sinister smile appeared on the boy's face.

He was skilled in such a trick, attacking and killing one person, while the other person took action to save him. He would definitely reveal a flaw, and at this moment, he would turn his back on his opponent.

For example, now that Xu Han had forcefully attacked, he knew that it was time to end this farce.

This thought occurred to him. The boy felt that victory was within his grasp. He was about to pull out the dagger in his hand and stab it at Xu Han, who was at the end of his rope.

But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that his dagger was still tightly held by Liu Sheng , and he was unable to pull it out for a moment.

This was something he hadn't expected.

It could be predicted that the wound in Liu Sheng 's hand was already deeply visible. The boy couldn't understand why he still had the strength to hold his dagger. Wasn't he really afraid that the dagger would directly cut off his palm?

Thinking like this, his heart surged with hostility. The hand that pulled out the dagger increased its strength again. He knew that no matter what kind of strong faith Liu Sheng had in his heart, his arm that had been cut would not be able to exert much strength. He would definitely be unable to stop this saber pulling, and Xu Han was destined to be the undead under his next saber!

But what he never expected was that Liu Sheng also seemed to have penetrated the boy's thoughts at this moment. He gritted his teeth at that time, and a harsh expression flashed in his eyes. His body actually straightened up and stopped, facing the dagger, forcefully letting the dagger pierce through the joint of his left shoulder.

The boy was shocked. After a short period of difference, he suddenly understood Liu Sheng 's purpose.

He firmly locked the boy's dagger with his own body, making it impossible for him to pull out the blade in a short period of time. This also gave Xu Han an excellent opportunity.

The panicked expression finally climbed onto the boy's forehead. He was unwilling to pull out his dagger again, but Liu Sheng was stunned. His eyes were red as he held the dagger tightly. Even the blood gushing out of his hands and chest had dyed most of his body red.

At this time, Xu Han's dagger flashed with a cold light and arrived at the boy's face.

The boy had lost his best chance of escaping.

He had no time to think anymore, and in panic, he had no choice but to withdraw his arm and subconsciously block his face.

Puchi!

There was only a soft sound.

The dagger in Xu Han's hand pierced straight through the boy's arm like this. Scorching blood sprayed out from his palm like lava, spraying Xu Han's face.

"Ah!!!"

The boy let out a heart-wrenching howl in pain. He held his bloody arm and veins popped out from his temples on both sides of his forehead.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

He cursed maliciously and bent his body again, ready to attack Xu Han.

However, Liu Sheng had been waiting for a long time. He watched the boy go crazy, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the dagger that was stabbed into his chest. He could not care about the bone-piercing pain coming from his body at this moment. He raised the dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the boy's sky lid.

Boom!

With a muffled snort, the madness in the boy's eyes faded away like a tide. At that moment, his body fell to the ground like mud, completely losing its aura. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Hu!

Hu!

The two survivors exchanged glances at each other at that time, their expressions extremely complicated.

Xu Han, who had already lost his strength, collapsed to the ground.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive." Xu Han muttered to himself as he looked at his wound that was still spilling blood.

"There are a total of eight heads on our bodies, including the one brought by this child and his own. There are exactly ten of them. Take them with you." Xu Han said somewhat dryly as if he was giving an explanation of his future affairs.

His head grew dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and continued, "One of us has to survive."

After he finished speaking, he was no longer able to resist the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion in his mind, and he fainted from the darkness in front of his eyes.

Liu Sheng , who was similarly exhausted, was not much better off than Xu Han, but after all, his foundation was much better than that of a beggar who had been a beggar for twelve years. Therefore, he was still able to maintain a trace of clarity at this moment.

"Heh." He looked at the fainted Xu Han and grinned. However, this smile affected his wounds, causing him to frown.

He trembled as he walked over to the boy and tore off his clothes. He slowly and painstakingly bandaged up the wounds on his body and Xu Han's body one by one.

Such a crude method could not stop the bleeding, but it could somewhat relieve the condition of the wound.

After doing all this, Liu Sheng looked at Xu Han again.

The expression on his face was uncertain, as if he was making some extremely difficult struggles, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and a determination flashed in his eyes.

He had always been decisive, and since he had made a decision, there was no possibility of hesitation.

At that moment he bent down and cut off the boy's head, and then picked up the two heads brought by the boy who had fallen to the ground.

Then, he walked to Xu Han's side and placed the two heads neatly beside him. He took off the four heads hanging from his waist and added on the four heads on Xu Han's body. There were no more than ten of them.

He placed it neatly, then reached out to search Xu Han's embrace for a while, and finally found a bell with a red string tied to it.

Dingling!

Along with this crisp sound, Liu Sheng rang the bell.

Those were the things that the two purple-clothed men had given them before they entered the Gu Forest. Each of them had one. As long as they shook it, the great figures outside would notice it and they would come here. If the person who rang the bell had gathered ten heads, they would naturally take it away.

After finishing all this, Liu Sheng once again took a deep look at Xu Han, who seemed to be asleep.

The coldness on his face dissipated, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

He said softly.

"Xiao Han, you're right."

"Someone has to survive."

"So…"

"Xiao Han, stay alive for me …"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated and abruptly turned around, dragging the scars all over his body into the dark forest.

…

The Gu Forest was still the same Gu Forest. It was deep and serene, and it emitted a fishy smell.

After a long time, several figures suddenly jumped out from the distance and landed in this small cave.

One of the black-robed men walked up to Xu Han. He looked at the unconscious youth and counted the heads neatly placed around him.

"Yes, although I fainted, I have already gathered ten heads." He nodded in satisfaction, then turned around to look at the other white-robed old man. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

The old man nodded his head knowingly, then took out a pen and paper from his bosom and wrote on it.

"Thirteenth year of Thai Yuan, April, September."

"Gu slave Xu Han completed the trial and sent it to the Asura Palace."
