I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 64. There is an assassin.

Xia Feng calmly raised his eyes, but suddenly froze, as he keenly sensed that something was wrong with Li Siwen.

It was a state he was very familiar with: his movements were slightly sluggish, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

This reminded him of the state Mu Qingtong had been in when she controlled his body, as if countless puppet threads were pulling at his limbs and torso.

Xia Feng's gaze pierced through the crowd and happened to meet the eyes of the woman with golden eyes in the corner.

Clearly, this world-destroying witch was behind it all.

However, based on his understanding of Mu Qingtong, this woman generally wouldn't use spiritual weapons lightly; if she did, it meant she intended to kill. Of course, there were exceptions.

As for the reason, it's simply that anyone who has witnessed her magical artifact abilities must die.

Clearly, Li Siwen probably said something that would lead him to his doom.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Mu Qingtong will have some trouble killing Li Siwen silently.

Xia Feng stared at the center of the venue and grinned, "Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand."

Xia Feng likes to take revenge without letting it linger overnight.

Since the timing, location, and people are all in harmony, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Just do it!

With a thought, the cold, eerie figure illuminated by the slanting candlelight seemed to distort slightly. In Xia Feng's perception, a stream of blood-red mist passed through the shadow path, instantly darting along the corner of the wall to the feet of a nobleman diagonally opposite.

The nobleman stood at the very back of the crowd in the center of the hall, a vast expanse of figures intertwined and overlapping, then—

The Bloodthirsty Beast arrived at Li Siwen's feet in an instant.

"Your Highness, do you think my project is feasible?" the man asked with a fawning smile. "If Your Highness agrees, I will get it done tomorrow."

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Someone was approaching.

"Uh—" Li Siwen suddenly looked up, his face instantly covered with blood vessels, his expression ferocious, and his eyes wide open.

The invasion of the Blood Beast instantly jolted him awake from his dazed state. He tilted his head back and hissed, trying to call for help, but found that his vocal cords were still under control and he could not move at all.

"Uh—" His facial muscles were under his control; his face trembled with terror, and his vision was obscured by a hazy, bloody hue.

"What is this?!" He couldn't understand what was happening to him at all. In his panic, his eyes fell on Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong at the back of the crowd.

Xia Feng stood outside the corridor to the left, smiling and silently watching him.

Mu Qingtong sat on the sofa in the right corner, smiling as she stared at him.

"!!!" Li Siwen seemed to see the mocking smile in the eyes of the two. How could this be!
"Your Highness?!"

"Quickly! Quickly summon His Highness!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Li Siwen suddenly let out a low roar, a sharp pain shot through his soul, and two terrifying lines of blood overflowed from his eye sockets. He knelt down with a thud.

Amidst gasps of alarm, his consciousness spun, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, his empty, lifeless eyes staring blankly at the expensive lights on the ceiling.

He died without understanding why Xia Feng hadn't died!

He only understood one thing: he had been killed by Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong through a terrifying joint effort, but he didn't even have a chance to tell them the truth!

"How could this happen?" Her last thoughts, filled with despair and regret, slowly faded away.

As Li Siwen breathed his last, the hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted in cries of terror.

"Your Highness!!"

The voice was mournful.

The sudden turn of events threw the venue into chaos. Xia Feng weaved through the disorganized crowd and sat down beside Mu Qingtong with a smile. Mu Qingtong looked at him, her slightly narrowed eyelids showing a hint of surprise and inquiry.

Xia Feng knew that she was asking him how he did it.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, blinked, and smiled without saying a word.

Mu Qingtong understood what he meant; he was saying: "Hey, I'm not telling you, aren't you angry? Aren't you angry?"
"Dead, dead...?" Mushroom stared blankly at the changes unfolding on the field, somewhat dazed, and murmured unconsciously.
"Really dead."

Her confused, trembling voice carried a hint of excitement and pleasure.

The Ziyanghua family has always been chaotic. After Wang Jue had Li Siwen with his cousin, he also had an affair with his sister-in-law and had a second son.

A few years later, he fell in love with the only daughter of a fallen nobleman, made her his queen, and they had a daughter named Li Hongdou.

Mushroom remembers that she was quite happy when she was a child, but ever since her mother was 'forced to commit suicide', she has quickly witnessed all the dark sides of this world.

Her two older brothers naturally disliked her, and the king turned a blind eye to their bullying, which emboldened them even more.

Growing up in such a repressive, bullying family where the father doesn't care and the mother can't love you.

Someone erupted from silence.
Some will perish in silence.

Mushroom chose to erupt in silence, though it was only a tiny, tiny, tiny eruption.

She moved out of the royal mansion, changed her surname, and resolutely refused to use the royal mansion's money. Well, all her money was her mother's inheritance, enough for her to squander for several lifetimes.

Unfortunately, it was no use. As long as the blood of the hydrangea flowed in her veins, she would never be able to escape this family that disgusted and even made her hate.

She often harbored evil thoughts, fantasizing about the deaths of these so-called family members.

But that's just wishful thinking.

She never dared to fight back against bullying, which is why she hated herself.

Now, seeing Li Siwen die suddenly in front of her, she felt a strange sense of pleasure.

"Good riddance," she thought wickedly, her eyes darkening. Second brother is dead, eldest brother is dead, now only one last person remains.
"Your Highness!" Everyone bowed respectfully.

The prince and princess both came.

As usual, the princess kept a distance of three meters from everyone else, while the prince stood beside Li Siwen's corpse with a gloomy expression.

Wei Shutong removed his hand from the corpse's forehead, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "It is Blood Devourer Disease caused by the invasion of Blood Devourer. There is not a trace of Evil Spirit Liquid, which means that the concentration of Blood Devourer that attacked His Highness is terrifyingly high. Therefore, it works extremely fast. Before the disease could even develop, it devoured his soul completely, leaving only an empty shell of a corpse."

In short, Li Siwen was utterly terrified.

“Strangely, he should have left behind a cloud of blood beast mist, but he only had the aura of the blood beast remaining on his body. This can only mean that the assassin can control and retrieve the blood beast!” Wei Shutong made a startling deduction.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Wei Shutong!"

"Are you implying that the assassination attempt on His Highness was caused by a calamity caused by a mythical creature called Pixiu?!" the nobles asked, frowning in disbelief.

As is well known, Blood Pig is a special substance extracted and separated from Calamity Force, and only Pixiu can control this substance at will.

If such a terrifying beast as the Pixiu Calamity were to enter District 51, District 51 would probably have already become a bloodbath hell. It would be impossible for it to come here specifically to assassinate an apprentice spirit master.

"Whoever it is, the assassin is definitely still here." Zhao Jie said coldly, turning around to order, "Guards, seal off the scene! No one is allowed to leave until the assassin is found!"

"No need."

Wang Jue suddenly raised his hand and said calmly, "No need for such trouble, I already know who it is."

Everyone was stunned.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong blinked, but they weren't flustered. They wanted to see what kind of person this duke could name.

Those who followed me here are true fans! Happy New Year everyone!
