"Hmm?"
Lei Ming was startled when Shen Xiu suddenly vanished from sight. Vigilance immediately surged into his eyes, and his figure shot forward at once.
However, by the time he came back to his senses, his face had gone deathly pale.
Because he could already feel a sharp dagger pressed against his throat.
"My life is in your hands now. Do you dare try taking it?"
Shen Xiu stared at Lei Ming and spoke coldly.
Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Lei Ming's face turned pale as well. For a moment, he did not dare make any rash moves.
"What compensation do you want?"
"I want your life!"
Shen Xiu said coldly. His fingers tightened, and a thin line of blood immediately seeped from Lei Ming's neck.
"Spare me, Boss! Please spare my life!"
Seeing the chill in Shen Xiu's eyes, terror appeared on Lei Ming's face, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Heh, too late."
Shen Xiu's lips curled into a cold, ruthless smile at those words, and his fingers tightened again.
"No! I agree! I'll pay any price you want, as long as you spare me!"
Lei Ming's expression changed drastically, and he hastily cried out.
"Spare you? Do you think that's possible?"
Shen Xiu sneered at Lei Ming's words. Though his cultivation was one level lower than Lei Ming's, in terms of the soul, Lei Ming was far beneath him.
Therefore, his spiritual power perfectly made up for the gap between them.
"Boss, I..."
Lei Ming's face looked utterly dreadful. He wanted to say more, but found that he could not even open his mouth.
"Heh, don't be in such a hurry. Soon enough, you'll learn what pain truly is!"
Shen Xiu's expression turned increasingly icy. His hand loosened slightly, and a gruesome wound appeared on Lei Ming's neck.
