Lu Xingyuan fell silent for a long time.
It was not that his slash had been so devastating, but that the other man had willingly abandoned his hope of living.
But the real question was... did he really trust him that much?
What if he was a bad person, not the one who could free him?
Wasn't it a little hasty to decide that based on a single Heaven-Splitting Life-Severing Slash?
Although it was Hand Sis's signature move, Lu Xingyuan had encountered other people who could use it before.
The other man seemed to realize something too. A moment later, he murmured:
"Oh, right."
"How about you help me up? I feel like I could still fight."
Lu Xingyuan was utterly speechless.
This guy was definitely an idiot.
Oh, Hand Sis, what kind of subordinates did you have?!
They were either crazy or stupid.
I was the only presentable one.
Sigh.
No wonder you ended up in such a tragic state.
The withered figure entered his final moments.
In his own words, he should have died long ago.
After all, human lives were finite.
But he had never met the person he was waiting for, so he had not dared to die.
His only choice had been to use a Secret Art to erase his consciousness, turning himself into a walking corpse.
That was how he had prolonged his life.
It was also why he looked like a young man in his prime from behind, but like a dried-up corpse from the front.
As for the Cat Skin, he had made it from a pet he had raised himself.
Even he could not withstand the merciless ravages of time, let alone a little cat.
To keep it by his side longer, he had been left with no other choice.
