"Damn it, if I'd known it would come to this, why the hell did I bother?"
Xu Yi cursed inwardly, but called out, "I give in! I give in! I concede! I'm willing to hand over this Heavenly Demon Bone. I only ask that Your Excellency honor your earlier promise."
Only then did Sheng Teng stop attacking. He said coldly, "You really are a spineless wretch. You had to get beaten half to death before you knew to beg for mercy. Hurry up!"
In the previous exchange, he'd attacked with reckless abandon, and it had felt good—but the Starry Sky Boat's energy had also plummeted at an alarming rate. If things continued like this, he didn't know whether it could hold out long enough to blast the damn Heavenly Demon Bone to pieces. Since Xu Yi had begged for mercy, of course he agreed.
Still, he kept his guard up at the highest level, and the Starry Sky Boat remained in constant high-speed motion. He absolutely would not give Xu Yi another chance to ambush him.
Xu Yi took out his fleshly body. Two streaks of clear light emerged from the Myriad Bone Skeleton and shot straight into the body, and the Myriad Bone Skeleton instantly lost its luster.
Sheng Teng was overjoyed. With a sudden jolt, he brought the Starry Sky Boat to a stop, and a shock wave burst toward Xu Yi.
How could he fail to see that this was the perfect chance to kill Xu Yi with one blow? Once Xu Yi was dead, everything would be his. Why waste any more breath?
Just as Sheng Teng was sure everything was going according to plan, he was horrified to see a streak of clear light pierce through the shock wave and hit the Starry Sky Boat.
