My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1684: Still No Memory Recovery

"This is the most unwise choice you’ve made today."

Xiao Zheng’s calm words floated past Fayin’s ears, his expression suddenly changed as he turned around to block Leng Ruobing in front of him, his eyes wide with alarm and horror. Xiao Zheng’s cultivation was vividly reflected in this sentence before him.

Upon hearing his words, Fayin already had thoughts of giving up. He even considered just letting go of Leng Ruobing and surrendering to the opponent’s judgment.

But moments later, he immediately realized this was the power within Xiao Zheng’s words.

Words become reality!

Being affected by a single sentence when his own cultivation had reached the stage of Middle-stage Martial Saint indicated that Xiao Zheng’s cultivation had reached a level he could not comprehend!

Yet he still suppressed the impulse to give up, keeping Leng Ruobing shielded in front of him. He understood that now, the only hope was that this woman held enough significance in Xiao Zheng’s heart to influence his decision.

But he didn’t know that in Xiao Zheng’s heart, Leng Ruobing might occupy a higher position than anyone else present, but that was the former Xiao Zheng. To the current Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing was merely a stranger who could stir waves in his heart upon seeing her.

Of course, neither the former Xiao Zheng nor the present Xiao Zheng would let such clumsy threats from Fayin cause any ripples within his heart.

He quietly stood on the protruding rock of the cliff, coldly staring at Fayin who was trembling all over, just a step away from being overwhelmed by inner fear.

Moments later, he shook his head.

Two fingers forming a sword, he slowly pointed towards him.

The silent wind blew past, immediately approaching Fayin’s right hand that was across Leng Ruobing’s neck.

Shh!

All that was heard was a sound as if a sharp sword had grazed past, and one of Fayin’s hands slowly severed and fell to the ground from mid-air.

As it bounced on the ground with a thud, Fayin finally reacted, staring dumbly at the neat cut on his right wrist.

The cut was smooth like a mirror, not even a single drop of blood seeped from it; he could see the perfectly sliced joint, muscle tissues, and blood vessels on his right hand.

He swallowed his saliva, and then his mouth opened, as the pain gradually surged from his right hand, and then blood spurted out like a newly-formed fountain!

"Ah!" Fayin’s face contorted, moving back frantically, clutching the severed stump of his right hand with his left, his constant screams startling Long Qie and the others who were watching from the side, unaware of what had happened.

Fayin plopped onto the ground, screaming, eyes bloodshot, staring crazily at his right wrist while his left hand kept groping behind him, seemingly trying to find his severed hand.

Xiao Zheng shook his head, stepped forward, stealthily reached the top of the city wall, then caught the fainting Leng Ruobing who fell backwards, gently placed her on the ground, without sparing a glance, he lifted his head and walked toward Fayin.

As Fayin was crying over his wrist, he had not noticed the approaching Xiao Zheng until Xiao Zheng stopped before him, grabbing his neck and lifting him up, his face suddenly startled upon realizing Xiao Zheng stood in front of him.

Now his face was a mixture of tears and blood, long gone were the calm demeanor of the Divine Monk, looking as grotesque as a stray dog on the street.

At this moment, Fayin trembled as he looked at Xiao Zheng, unable to produce a sound with his throat tightly squeezed; Xiao Zheng did not need him to speak, he only needed one answer.

Xiao Zheng coldly looked at him, without uttering a word, communicating directly through his mind.

"I don’t like nonsense, you previously gave them ten breaths, now I’ll only give you one breath to answer one question, I might consider sparing your life, what exactly does your faction intend, what is your purpose."

Xiao Zheng coldly looked at him, while Fayin also struggled to look at Xiao Zheng, but his gaze was full of fright and disbelief, seemingly the pain of his severed hand was not as shocking as Xiao Zheng’s question.

"I, I don’t know..."

Frowning upon hearing the answer, Xiao Zheng slightly shook his head, tightening his right hand, causing Fayin to struggle in mid-air, his face turning purple and blue from suffocation.

"I advise you to answer quickly, I said, I don’t like nonsense."

"I, I truly don’t know, in the Great Sound Buddha Sect...only the Buddha Master, only the Buddha Master knows!"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, upon hearing the words ’Buddha Master’, a shift was felt in his heart, yet his face remained expressionless, he coldly glanced at Fayin, confirming in his heart that he didn’t lie before letting go of his hand.

Fayin fell to the ground from mid-air, disregarding his severed hand, he gasped for air, wrought with disbelief that he was still alive; impressed upon by Xiao Zheng’s reputation of never sparing the offenders.

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, then chose to ignore Fayin, walking to Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, supporting both up, he then placed two fingers on their foreheads, lifting the poison within them.

Meanwhile, Long Qie and Titan, along with a few others reached the top of the city wall, gazing at Xiao Zheng, with traces of hesitation and contemplation in their eyes.

Xiao Zheng did not look at them, after removing the poison from Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, he stood up and walked out of the city wall, Long Qie watched his distant back, clenching his teeth, stepping forward just as he was about to speak, Xiao Zheng’s voice suddenly echoed.

"Don’t misunderstand, my actions weren’t to aid you, but to uncover matters I feel I should know about, having completed this, it’s time for me to leave."

Long Qie’s complexion stiffened, the hope that had just surfaced now dwindling away, but moments later, he returned to normal, cupping his fists as he bowed to Xiao Zheng, without saying a word.

Xiao Zheng, with his back turned toward him, seemed to sense his deep bow, pausing momentarily, turning his head to look at Long Qie with slight frown.

"You didn’t need to do that, I don’t recognize myself as the Evil God, I doubt I ever will in this lifetime, so you don’t need to feel indebted to me." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Hearing this, Long Qie’s body trembled, with a hint of struggle on his face, but shortly after, he sighed deeply in his heart, without further speech, remaining bowed for a long time.

Catherine, Titan, and Evil Eyes watched Long Qie’s act, all sighed inwardly, they understood that what Long Qie did wasn’t out of feeling indebted... but he believed Xiao Zheng had begun to be swayed, begun to believe in them, begun to recall Sky Net.

Xiao Zheng looked at him, looked at them, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes.
