"Kill Lone Serpent, defect to Lin Xiaosu, and bring him here to take my life. Unfortunately, you still forgot that my power reaches the heavens and pierces the earth—not something ants like you can scheme against!" the Hydra Overlord said. "With this single wrong thought, you have not only thrown away your own life, but buried your sister's as well. She will be violated and killed in the cruelest way imaginable."
His voice sounded calm as still water, yet the cruelty within it made Lone Serpent's heart feel as though it were about to burst.
Because he knew the Hydra Overlord's methods all too well.
If he said he would violate and kill his sister, then it definitely would not be done any other way...
"There is one chance—your final chance! Seize it, and everything can still be rewritten!" the Hydra Overlord said. "Do you want it?"
"This subordinate knows his mistake! This subordinate deserves death!" Lone Serpent dropped to his knees with a thud. The bluestone beneath his knees gave a deafening bang. "Please, Hydra Overlord, show mercy beyond the law and grant this subordinate one more chance!"
"Very good!" the Hydra Overlord said. "Kill Lin Xiaosu!"

When he launched his attack, he was only five meters from the Hydra Overlord.
