My Silly, Sweet Wife

With those words, Shang Wen Dong suddenly grabbed a piece of skin from his arm and tore it off.

Rip!

Along with a clear ripping sound, Shang Wen Dong let out a scream, and a spray of fresh blood burst out.

Shang Shufang was stunned on the spot.

It was too cruel.

He never imagined his father could be so cruel to himself.

Even Ye Guichen was astonished, not understanding what Shang Wen Dong was trying to do.

However, the Ghost Hiders wailed upon seeing Shang Wen Dong tear off his own skin: ”Judge, Judge, you can’t!”

It was clear that the Ghost Hiders knew what Shang Wen Dong was about to do.

Shang Wen Dong gave a miserable smile: ”If I die today, no one will be able to avenge Old Yama, but if I survive by a fluke, even if I become a cripple, there will still be hope for revenge.”

He then looked deeply at those Ghost Hiders who had lost their combat ability: ”You followed Old Yama for many years, and now you have followed me and hid in this miserable little place for so long. I thought I could lead you back to the light, to let the world know of your existence, so that you could live openly under the sun.”

”But I am no match for our enemies. I have finally realized that there are always stronger people, and higher heavens above!” Shang Wen Dong forced a smile and looked at Ye Guichen: ”Ye Guichen, you are a worthy opponent, but I will not die today. Even if I give my last breath, I cannot die! Because my revenge is not yet complete, so I am sorry.”

Ye Guichen squinted, unsure of what Shang Wen Dong intended to do.

But as Ye Guichen saw the piece of torn skin, his brows furrowed.

Inexplicably, relying on his sixth sense, Ye Guichen felt an unprecedented murderous aura.

Indeed!

Since descending the mountain, Ye Guichen had never felt such a terrifying killing intent.

And the source of this murderous aura was precisely that torn piece of skin.

”What? What is this?” Ye Guichen’s whole body tensed, for the first time taking it seriously.

After tearing off that piece of skin, Shang Wen Dong had become extremely weak, so much so that his smile seemed powerless.

He slowly raised the torn piece of skin with his hand: ”Haha, Ye Guichen, do you know what this is? Do you know why Old Yama died? Do you know why I have been hiding like a ghost in this small, godforsaken city for all these years, not daring to reveal my identity? It’s because of this thing!”

Visible to the naked eye, the blood-stained piece of skin had streaks of gold on its underside, as thin as a cicada’s wings.

”That’s right, you might have heard, the assassination organization in Yama Hall has an ultimate treasure called the Book of Life and Death.” Shang Wen Dong seemed completely unafraid that Ye Guichen would escape, sitting down shakily and looking at Ye Guichen, he continued: ”Since you are to die, I might as well tell you, the so-called Book of Life and Death holds an enormous secret. Back then, Old Yama trusted me, giving me the Book of Life and Death to safeguard. I did not betray his trust, and the Book of Life and Death still has not fallen into enemy hands.”

”However, knowing that I am no match today, I will use the remnant page of this Book of Life and Death to destroy you. To die under the remnant page of the Book of Life and Death is an honor in itself.”

”The Book of Life and Death?” Ye Guichen frowned.

Ye Guichen had indeed heard that Yama Hall had a Book of Life and Death, and also that those whose names were written in the Book had little chance of survival.

Could this thing possess the same miraculous powers as the legendary Book of Life and Death from Jiuyou?

Thinking of this, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

The Yama Hall that Shang Wen Dong belonged to and the Yama Hall of the underworld were two completely different concepts, and what kind of ghosts or demons existed in this world?

Although the Book of Life and Death was rumored to be incredibly powerful, seeing Shang Wen Dong’s arm also had a piece of the Book under the skin, though only a remnant page.

To kill with this thing?

Ye Guichen couldn’t quite figure it out.

”Shang Wen Dong, you want to kill me with that thing?” Ye Guichen asked.

Shang Wen Dong sneered, ”Ye Guichen, your skills are admirable, but no matter how strong you are, you can’t escape the pursuit of the Book of Life and Death! Haha, once in the Book of Life and Death, no one lives! Ye Guichen, this thing is not something ordinary people should witness, no matter how strong you are, only one path awaits you—death!”

Inhaling deeply, Shang Wen Dong raised the piece of skin with the Judge’s Brush: ”Ye Guichen, your journey ends here!”

With a fierce throw.

The previously dull piece of skin suddenly ignited, emitting a brilliant light.

Before Ye Guichen could comprehend what was happening, the torn piece of skin burned away completely, replaced by a nearly transparent gold shard.

The gold shard was so thin that it was nearly invisible without close inspection.

Moreover, as Shang Wen Dong threw the gold shard, it quickly flew towards Ye Guichen.

That terrifying aura instantly enveloped Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was certain this gold shard had immense power, likely able to slice through steel plates several centimeters thick, let alone flesh.

”What a formidable item!” Ye Guichen was aghast, yet he moved simultaneously.

He had no intention of waiting to die.

Although the gold shard was fast, Ye Guichen was no slouch.

As the gold shard reached him, Ye Guichen reached out swiftly, grabbing it directly.

Simultaneously, several skull Buddha beads appeared in Ye Guichen’s hand.

These were taken from Rashamon previously.

Ye Guichen had originally wanted Bai Qinghe to forge them into usable weapons, but after several attempts, Bai Qinghe found it impossible to melt or reshape these skull Buddha beads.

So Ye Guichen decided to keep them for himself, to see if he could forge them into a suitable weapon.

Unexpectedly, they fell into use today.

”Clang, clang, clang!”

However, to Ye Guichen’s surprise, as soon as the Buddha beads appeared, they intertwined with the gold shard.

The originally incredibly hard Buddha beads seemed to become as fragile as clay, breaking apart in less than a second under the gold shard.

”Haha, stop wasting your efforts, the remnant page of the Book of Life and Death is incomparably sharp, nothing you have can block it!” Shang Wen Dong laughed maniacally but began coughing violently, clearly harmed significantly by removing the gold shard.

Ye Guichen’s expression grew somber, he remained silent, continuously bringing out those skull Buddha beads to block the shard.

The gold shard seemed strangely pulled, slicing through all the Buddha beads before continuing towards Ye Guichen’s neck, seemingly intending to decapitate him.

But Shang Wen Dong failed to notice that after the last Buddha bead was cut in half, a smile appeared on Ye Guichen’s lips.

”Stop!”

Reaching out, Ye Guichen actually grabbed towards the shard with his bare hand.

”Courting death!”

Seeing this, Shang Wen Dong’s smile turned sinister.

This remnant page of the Book of Life and Death could cut through iron like mud, yet Ye Guichen still wanted to grab it barehanded, truly beyond foolish!
