The moment their hands touched, Qian Wu only felt an extremely cold sensation, as if he had grasped a corpse.

Although he had seen ‘Xuanwu’ many times before, this was Qian Wu’s first time touching her, and the sensation was even stranger than he had imagined.

‘Xuanwu’ was like a person without body temperature. Her fingers were as cold as a dead person’s, yet as soft as a living person’s.

“By holding my hand… you can kill me?” Xuanwu asked.

“I’m not certain, but I’ll do my best,” Qian Wu replied. “No matter what, I’ll stake my life on killing you.”

“You must do your best,” Xuanwu nodded dully. “Even if you try several times, it’s fine, but you must do your best.”

Heavenly-Horse and Heavenly-Tiger behind ‘Xuanwu’ saw this scene and slowly retreated a step. Since ‘Xuanwu’ had already appeared, the two of them no longer had the qualification to speak.

Qian Wu slowly turned his head and gave the two behind him a look. Luo Shiyi and Chou Ershi nodded, picked up their daggers from the ground, and slowly came before Qian Wu.

“Fifth Brother,” Luo Shiyi reached out and grasped Qian Wu’s shoulder. “Don’t worry… it won’t hurt…”

“It’s fine,” Qian Wu nodded. “Do it.”

Luo Shiyi turned to glance at ‘Xuanwu.’ She and Qian Wu now stood before him hand in hand, as intimate as lovers, yet the cold aura constantly emanating from her body always made one’s blood run cold.

“Fifth Brother, I’m sorry,” Luo Shiyi took a deep breath and drove the dagger in his hand straight into Qian Wu’s heart.

In the distance, Qi Xia and the others even held their breath. The plan seemed to be going unexpectedly smoothly.

Qian Wu didn’t feel any pain, only felt something cold pierce into his chest cavity.

“No… can’t use ‘Forget-Worry’…” Qian Wu said through gritted teeth. “Pain can hasten my death…”

He closed his eyes and silently recited several phrases in his heart, but when he opened his eyes, he found Qian Wu still had no reaction.

“Remove ‘Forget-Worry,'” Qian Wu said again.

“I…” Luo Shiyi felt something was odd. “Fifth Brother, there’s no ‘Forget-Worry’ anymore…”

“What…?” Qian Wu was slightly stunned. “No ‘Forget-Worry’ anymore…?”

He not only felt no pain, but also showed no signs of dying.

At this moment, ‘Xuanwu’ extended her other hand and parted the long hair on her chest. The three saw a fresh knife wound blooming on her chest, identical to the injury on Qian Wu’s chest.

“Is that all…?” ‘Xuanwu’ asked with slight disappointment. “This counts as wanting to kill me…?”

Qian Wu felt something was very wrong and looked at Chou Ershi beside him.

Chou Ershi understood immediately, picked up the dagger in his hand, and without a word stabbed it into the artery on Qian Wu’s neck.

With a dull sound of blade entering flesh, a hole suddenly appeared on ‘Xuanwu’s’ neck as well.

“What’s going on…?”

Qian Wu was the first to sense something was wrong. He clearly didn’t have ‘Forget-Worry’ on him, yet whether it was his chest or the fatal wound on his neck, he couldn’t feel any pain at all.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xia’s eyes were already lifeless as ash. He left the prison gate, slowly retreated a few steps, and called out to Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin: “Qian Wu has lost. Prepare yourselves. The ‘Heavenly-Horse Moment’ is about to activate.”

“Lost…?” Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin were stunned. “Aren’t they currently trying to kill ‘Xuanwu’?”

“It’s impossible now,” Qi Xia said. “Let alone ‘Xuanwu,’ even Qian Wu probably can’t die now.”

Zhou Liu looked toward Qian Wu’s direction in disbelief after hearing this.

He saw Qian Wu push Luo Shiyi aside, then pull out the dagger embedded in his chest. He looked down only to discover a pitch-black hole in his chest, without a single drop of blood flowing.

“How can this be…” Qian Wu muttered to himself. “This is ‘Immortality’…?”

He had intended to assimilate ‘Xuanwu’s’ body, but for some reason, his own body had been assimilated by her into ‘Immortality.’

Qian Wu felt unwilling to accept this. He reached out and grasped the dagger on his neck, then pulled it horizontally, opening a large gash on his own neck.

The pitch-black color appeared simultaneously on both Qian Wu and Xuanwu’s necks. At this moment, their heads looked as if they were sewn onto their bodies, appearing very unreal.

Yet neither of them died.

“So that’s how it is…” Qian Wu lowered his head and muttered despairingly. “I was truly too naive before… I considered many possible outcomes, but never thought of this one…”

“Hey,” Xuanwu called out coldly. “Your strange trick—what difference is there from directly hacking me with a knife?”

“It seems…” Qian Wu shook his head in frustration. “Indeed, there’s no difference at all.”

“Ah…?” Xuanwu instantly showed disappointed eyes. “What are you saying…? So you can’t kill me?”

At this moment, Qian Wu finally fully understood the power of ‘Immortality.’ His neck already had a sufficiently fatal knife wound, yet he now felt no abnormality whatsoever.

Even if he cut his head off now, he wouldn’t die. But why couldn’t he assimilate the other party’s body?

“Run…” Qian Wu said in a low voice. “Shiyi, Ershi, find a way to run…”

“Fifth Brother… then you…”

“As soon as I let go, I’ll die,” Qian Wu said with a face full of despair. “This time I’ve lost…”

After speaking, he turned to look at Xuanwu and asked with a frown: “You only need my life, right? I was the mastermind behind this assassination attempt on ‘Heavenly-Horse.'”

“No,” Xuanwu shook her head. “All three of you have intense killing intent toward ‘Heavenly-Horse,’ so none can escape.”

“You…” Qian Wu knew that before Xuanwu, he had no bargaining chips whatsoever.

If even ‘Twin Flower’ couldn’t deal with Xuanwu… was there any other way to eliminate her?

“No need to beg her for mercy, Fifth Brother,” Luo Shiyi smiled and said. “I never wanted to leave anyway. Might as well stay here today.”

He took the dagger from Qian Wu’s hand and stabbed at Xuanwu again. Like the earlier Qi Xia, he madly carved countless wounds on Xuanwu’s body.

Yet Xuanwu appeared to have no reaction throughout.

“Every time it’s like this…” Xuanwu said with lifeless eyes. “Every person who wants to kill me… won’t show even a shred of sincerity?”

As soon as the words fell, a bright red object had already appeared in Xuanwu’s hand—a freshly beating heart.

Luo Shiyi was stunned. Before he could say anything, Xuanwu had already reached out and cleanly crushed that heart. Like a sponge soaked with water, it sprayed out a large amount of blood when Xuanwu squeezed it, and Luo Shiyi fell to the ground with a shocked expression.

“Shiyi!”

Qian Wu knew that while it appeared he had grabbed Xuanwu, his position was far more dangerous than hers. As soon as he let go, he would die completely.
