Too much nonsense.

Xu Huxiao raised the knife and directly terminated the last words of Bai Mu.

As Bai Mu's head rolled down, the blood spurting from his neck was instantly swallowed up by Bloodshadow Broadsword.

As the owner of Bloodshadow Broadsword, Xu Huxiao can feel that the blade of this big knife seems to be sharper after swallowing the blood.

I never thought that waste could be reused, killing two birds with one stone. Xu Huxiao was a little surprised.

All the prisoners present felt nervous when they saw this chopping of melons and vegetables.

Then five identical scenes were staged, including the pronouncement, last words, and beheading. The whole process was extremely smooth without any pause.

After the execution was over, the Lava Purgatory prisoners on the second floor were escorted back to the prison. Although there had been public executions in the prison in the past, today's Ox-Head Ghost Mask executioner and his Blood Red sword left a very deep impression on all the prisoners.

Because this new executioner is too calm!

It's so calm that it's scary!

In the past, executioners would shout loudly before swinging their swords, but today's beheadings all followed the same rhythm and were carried out in an unusually calm and eerie atmosphere.

Moreover, the six people killed in a row were all nobles or Soul Master!

For a moment, all the nobles and Soul Master prisoners were a little panicked. They didn't know whether this sudden execution was an accidental raid or just the beginning.

Will the butcher's knife fall on his head next time?

Ghost-Masked Warriors in Black Prison will not tell them these two issues, and the three supervisors will not reveal anything about them. They can only try to contact their relatives outside.

Therefore, after returning to the prison, these nobles Soul Master tried every means to get in touch with their respective families, hoping to find out information and at the same time ask their families to increase the 'ransom' to ensure that they were safe in Black Prison.

On the other side, Xu Huxiao, who got off the execution platform, took off Ox-Head Ghost Mask, and put away Bloodshadow Broadsword, which was obviously sharper due to its bloodthirsty ability.

He looked at the execution scene recorded by Ghost Rat using Soul Skill Short-Sighted Mouse. He started recording it before he put on Ox-Head Ghost Mask, so he could be sure that it was his own hand that did it.

Xu Huxiao scanned it briefly and found nothing inappropriate, so he agreed that it could be uploaded to Bibi Dong.

After executing six people, Xu Huxiao planned to spend the remaining time in meditation practice.

Ghost Fox arranged accommodation for Xu Huxiao and Hu Liena, which is Moonlight Suite on the first floor.

This Moonlight Suite is specially used to receive VIPs. It uses optical reflection. Even underground, there are large Crystal floor-to-ceiling windows where you can see the stars and the moon outside, which is very unique.

In addition, the suite is spacious and airy, making people completely forget that they are underground while staying there.

In addition to the hall, there are three bedrooms in the suite. All other washing facilities are available. The decoration is luxurious and the materials used are also very expensive. It can be seen that Ghost Fox is right. Black Prison has made a lot of Gold Soul Coin by relying on various "oils" and "ransoms".

After arriving in the suite, Xu Huxiao did not immediately go back to the bedroom to meditate and practice. Instead, he was going to teach Hu Liena how to meditate and practice in this Black Prison, which was full of lifeless energy.

Due to Bibi Dong's special training requirements, he and Hu Liena can only stay at Black Prison this month.

When he went to Water Room before, although he had used Yang Origin Soul Power to expel the death energy from Hu Liena once, but now at night, he could feel that the protective effect of Yang Origin Soul Power he sent there was weakening.

"Nana, my Soul Power is special and can avoid the invasion of death energy. I believe you have experienced it."

Hu Liena didn't answer and seemed a little absent-minded.

Xu Huxiao did not notice this and continued, "Although the Snot Jelly here can also remove the influence of death energy, it will inhibit the seal Martial Soul to a certain extent, so that normal meditation and practice Soul Power will not be possible."

"So, I will try to transfer part of my Soul Power to you to see if you can meditate and practice normally with the blessing of my Soul Power."

"After all, this month is quite a long time. It's best if you don't fall behind in your cultivation."

With that said, Xu Huxiao stretched out his hand, ready to take Hu Liena's hand and try to deliver a part of Yang Origin Soul Power to her.

Unexpectedly, Hu Liena took a step back and hid, leaving Xu Huxiao's grasp empty.

Xu Huxiao looked at the girl with some confusion, "Nana, what's wrong?"

Hu Liena's eyes were a little dodgey, he didn't dare to look directly at him, and his voice was stammering.

"I... I, how about, senior brother, try... tomorrow."

"I... I'm... a little tired today."

There was an unnoticeable tremor in the girl's stammering words, and her evasive eyes showed not shyness, but an emotion of fear.

Xu Huxiao You can tell it at just one glance.

It was just a lie that she was tired. She was afraid of herself. It seemed that she was afraid of herself because she killed six people in a row today.

Xu Huxiao retracted his hand without feeling embarrassed. It was because he took it too much for granted with his adult thinking.

Today he used Bloodshadow Broadsword to behead six people in a row. Although it was an execution, but he abandoned this layer of identity and beheaded six people in a row. This is simply an out-and-out murderer!

Although he didn't feel anything, because in his eyes, there was no psychological burden on killing the person who deserved to be killed, but after killing like this, his body was inevitably tainted with a cold aura of killing.

And Hu Liena is just a girl who is not deeply involved in the world and whose thinking is not yet fully mature. After witnessing such cold killings, and being infected by Black Prison's withering death aura and his murderous aura, it is inevitable that she will feel strange and frightened.

This is completely normal.

Because compared to him, a freak who had experienced the aura of death three times at close range and tore Soul Elder apart at the age of three, this was the most normal reaction.

After all, he is different from her!

His experiences are incredible and unimaginable from the perspective of any normal person.

Xu Huxiao also took a step back and smiled calmly, "Okay, it's up to you. I'm going back to my room to meditate and practice. If you need anything, just ask Ghost-Masked Warriors who is on duty outside."

After saying that, Xu Huxiao turned around and returned to his bedroom, then closed the door.

He did not explain much about the sentence and cold beheading, or came up with any high-sounding reasons to cover it up.

Because, this is him, his behavior has already explained everything, there is no need to explain such things.

However, Hu Liena outside the door needs an explanation, a reasonable explanation that can connect the previous glorious image of Xu Huxiao with the murderous and ruthless Xu Huxiao in front of him.

Although when Hu Liena decided to go to the execution site together, she prepared herself mentally.

But her preparation was far from enough.

Because the executioner on the execution platform carrying a Blood Red sword and wearing a Ox-Head Ghost Mask on his head shocked her so much!

No matter how the prisoner on the execution platform panicked, cried bitterly, or begged for mercy, the familiar yet unfamiliar executioner never paused at all.

Even the words of the verdict did not fluctuate at all!

Blood Red The sword always falls directly, just like a killing machine without any emotions!

Is this still her senior brother?

Hu Liena once thought that the cold executioner on the stage was a devil that belonged exclusively to Black Prison, not the senior brother she was devoted to.

Until she saw Xu Huxiao taking off Ox-Head Ghost Mask himself, revealing the face that was as familiar as ever.

At that moment, her fear reached its peak, and images of Ox-Head Ghost Mask wielding a machete and beheading Blood Red flashed before her, and then overlapped with the person in front of her.

This Ox-Head Ghost Mask killing machine is my senior brother!!

After accepting this fact, a chill arose from the heart of the girl who was calm and smart on the surface but extremely simple in reality.

But she kept suppressing it until just now, when Xu Huxiao reached over, the fear burst out uncontrollably.

Hu Liena just realized that she simply couldn't accept such a senior brother!

"Why, why is this like this? Is he... the same senior brother as before?"

Hu Liena fell on the sofa in the hall, with various thoughts flashing through her mind. Jiujiu couldn't calm down. Witnessing beheadings and killings with her own eyes was too shocking to her soul.

And he is the person she has always regarded as the closest to him.

Hu Liena just sat on the sofa in the hall, his eyes confused, and he didn't know how long it had been.

Suddenly, a ray of moonlight reflected from the floor-to-ceiling window of Crystal caught her attention. This faint and soft light was reflected on a door like a jade belt.

It's the bedroom door that Xu Huxiao entered through.

Seeing this scene, the confusion in Hu Liena's eyes seemed to be instantly dispersed by the moon CD player.

"I, what's wrong with me? I'm actually afraid of senior brother. Senior brother is still the same senior brother. This special execution training was originally a special assessment by the teacher. Senior brother just completed the assessment tasks normally."

"Moreover, if my senior brother had not subdued the supervisor here, my situation would be even more difficult now, and I might even have given up on this special training."

"It was my senior brother who gave me the courage and the confidence to face all this, so that I could have the confidence to continue."

"Senior brother just wanted to help me meditate and practice, but I refused because of my temporary fear of execution!"

"Nana, what on earth are you doing!"

Hu Liena, who suddenly came to his senses and thought about it, realized how bad his actions were.

Especially when she thought of her senior brother's action of taking a step back, which clearly showed the fear in her heart, Hu Liena felt even more regretful and self-blame.

"Senior brother, I think about everything. I actually abandoned him at this time and left him to bear everything alone. I'm really stupid and bad."

Hu Liena Only then did she remember her vow to fight side by side with her senior brother. Since they were fighting side by side, how could she accept his protection with peace of mind while she became a deserter!

"Senior brother must be extremely disappointed in me."

"No! It can still be redeemed. I must apologize to my senior brother!"

If you make a mistake, just accept the punishment and then correct it. Hu Liena thought of the experience that her elder sister Orleans shared with her. As long as she also accepted the punishment, her senior brother would definitely forgive her, right?

With such an uneasy feeling, Hu Liena could no longer suppress her inner desire to apologize. She walked to Xu Huxiao's door and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

Boom, boom, boom!
