Chapter 679: Skinning!_1

Yin Tian took a deep breath, his eyes swirling with a cold light.

Despite revealing his identity, Liu Pengcheng had displayed a clear intent to kill him.

He had done his part, but unfortunately, the other party was not inclined to appreciate it.

Turning his head slightly, Yin Tian looked at Liu Pengcheng and asked flatly, "What do you mean?"

"Holding a fake token and trying to impersonate the Shadow Hall Master, killing you a thousand times wouldn’t be too much!"

Liu Pengcheng’s figure moved, charging directly towards Yin Tian.

But at that moment.

A voice suddenly came from afar, "Liu, why so hot-tempered?"

Liu Pengcheng’s figure halted, stopping right there.

He turned to look and, upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Pengcheng’s face changed slightly, "Number Two, how did you get here so quickly?"

Number Two was just about to speak when he noticed another person was present.

After clearly seeing Yin Tian’s face, he hurriedly walked over and then knelt on one knee before Yin Tian, "Greetings, Master!"

"Why have you come as well?"

Yin Tian glanced at Number Two and chuckled softly.

Number Two was the second-in-command of Shadow Hall, holding a bit more power than the Sub-hall Masters.

In Shadow Hall, only Yin Tian had the authority to make Number Two kneel on one knee.

"Number Six invited me to come,"

Number Two respectfully responded, "But I didn’t expect that you, Master, would also be here."

Liu Pengcheng’s face looked somewhat ugly.

He hadn’t expected that Number Two would also know Yin Tian!

"I was brought here by force."

Yin Tian said smilingly, "This young Master Liu was dissatisfied with me, so he brought me here, but it seems that this Hall Master Liu would also like to kill me."

Thump!

Liu Pengcheng immediately knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Master! I, your subordinate, was dull and failed to recognize your token, please punish me, Master!"

Liu Pengcheng’s words, both to Yin Tian and Number Two, were evidently met with disbelief.

As one of the few with the highest authority in Shadow Hall, how could Liu Pengcheng not recognize the Hall Master Token? That would be akin to an ancient official not recognizing the emperor’s golden plaque, wouldn’t it?

On the other side, Liu Shengxin also knelt directly on the ground with a look of panic on his face.

Liu Pengcheng did not recognize the fake token, but Liu Shengxin truly did not recognize it!

The thought that he had forcibly brought the Lord of the Shadow Hall here made his heart sink to the bottom!

"Number Six, for insubordination, you should know what kind of crime that is in Shadow Hall,"

Number Two slowly turned his head to look at Liu Pengcheng.

Liu Pengcheng bowed his head, "I beg for your forgiveness, Master!"

Yin Tian waved his hand, "Hall Master Liu apparently was just dazzled and didn’t see clearly, Number Two, there’s no need to be overly harsh."

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Liu Pengcheng felt relieved inside.

It appeared that the Shadow Hall Master had no intention of completely falling out with him.

But just then, Yin Tian raised his hand and pointed at Liu Shengxin, "However, this man cannot be excused. He bullied others on the strength of his position, acted like a tiger despite being a mere fox, and even wanted to kill me."

Liu Shengxin’s face changed drastically.

He looked up at Yin Tian, his mouth opened as if about to speak, but then his vision suddenly blurred.

In the blink of an eye, Number Two appeared before Liu Shengxin.

"Don’t!"

Liu Pengcheng cried out, but it was already too late.

Number Two had a short dagger in hand, plunging it directly into the top of Liu Shengxin’s head, though the wound wasn’t deep.

Then, with the dagger in hand, Number Two made a fierce slash downward, tossed the knife aside, and grabbed the slit skin, ripping it off ferociously.

Shzzt!

Blood spurted out.

The skin of Liu Shengxin’s entire head had been peeled off in an instant by Number Two!

"Ahhh!!"

Liu Shengxin, unrecognizable now, let out a piercing scream, then his body stiffened and he died!

"For insubordination, skinning and dismemberment."

Number Two stood there, expression indifferent as if nothing had happened, but his hands were vivid red, dripping with fresh blood.

"Number Two! You!!"

Liu Pengcheng stared fixedly at Number Two.

He never expected his only child to die at the hands of Number Two!

"If it weren’t for the fact that he was your son, he wouldn’t have left with an intact corpse."

Number Two said flatly, went over to a nearby well, and plunged his hands into the clear water, washing them thoroughly.

Before long, he had washed all the blood off his hands.

On the other side, Liu Pengcheng knelt beside the body of Liu Shengxin, his eyes empty as he held the already lifeless Liu Shengxin, speechless.

Yin Tian also furrowed his brows.

He hadn’t expected Number Two to act so ruthlessly, peeling off Liu Shengxin’s skin with his first move!

But on second thought, Shadow Hall was, after all, an assassin organization.

Being merciful and lenient obviously did not fit their style.

"Master."

Number Two returned to stand before Yin Tian, looking up at him respectfully, "I was originally planning to pay you a visit."

"Since you’re here, I’ll speak directly..."
