Just as Sikong Jing began observing the Willow Leaf Holy Wall...

On the other side, the Split Armor Flying Scorpion was staring directly at Ye Wu Kui and the Big Beetle, who had already crashed to the ground. It roared with an aura of eerie menace: "Devour you, devour you, devour you..."

Buzz...

With a sound like Split Armor tearing through the vast sky, it pounced forward like a crimson devil light.

In an instant, its pincers first clamped onto the Big Beetle, then violently ripped it in half on the spot.

"Awooo..."

In the Big Beetle’s utterly shrill scream, Split Armor opened its big mouth and ravenously devoured, chomping wildly on the Big Beetle’s flesh.

At the same time... buzz!

Ye Wu Kui, upon seeing this, felt as though his seven souls and six spirits had been scared out of him. He clutched his chest and fled desperately.

He knew he had lost.

The recent spear attack from Sikong Jing had left him severely wounded, and even facing the non-human and horse pair form of the Split Armor Flying Scorpion now, he was utterly incapable of winning. He had no choice but to frantically flee towards Ye Wushen and his group...

As he fled, Ye Wu Kui didn’t forget to shout towards Ye Wushen: "Big brother, save me!"

Though it was a life and death battle, and Sikong Jing was undoubtedly going to force him into a corner, Ye Wu Kui certainly could not give up the chance to survive, he had to desperately plead for help.

Swoosh...

But at that moment, as the Split Armor Flying Scorpion was ravenously devouring the Big Beetle, it suddenly swung its long tail stinger and pierced straight into Ye Wu Kui’s back, pinning him firmly to the ground.

Immediately, Ye Wu Kui was rendered immobile.

However, the tail stinger of Split Armor did not pierce his vital organs, so Ye Wu Kui still shouted wildly: "Big brother, save me!"

Ye Wushen, Liu Shizeng, and the others exchanged glances upon seeing this, and then looked towards Sikong Jing standing on the Willow Leaf Holy Wall.

Finally, Ye Wushen bit his lip and said: "Let’s go, rescue him!"

No matter the life and death pact, no matter how forced, Ye Wushen could not stand by and watch Ye Wu Kui get eaten.

At least, he had to put on an act first...

Therefore, one by one they followed his lead, quickly flashing towards Ye Wu Kui.

Ye Wuyu, when approaching, even wanted to take action to pull out the tail stinger embedded in Ye Wu Kui.

But just as she touched the tail stinger, Sikong Jing’s voice gently sounded from atop the Holy Wall: "If a Venerable dares touch the tail stinger of Split Armor, they will be poisoned and die on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuyu was startled and withdrew her hand, then tried to envelope the tail stinger with True Qi.

Unfortunately... sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Her Venerable level True Qi disintegrated instantly upon lightly contacting the tail stinger, dissolved by the poison on it.

In the end, she hastily looked at Ye Wushen and whispered: "Big brother."

Before Ye Wushen could act, Sikong Jing’s voice dropped again...

"Even if you manage to pull out the stinger, Ye Wu Kui will still die from poisoning, don’t waste your effort."

"Except for it and me, even a top-level Emperor can’t cure Split Armor’s poison."

With Sikong Jing’s casual words, Ye Wushen and the others shuddered all over, their eyes turning red to the extreme.

Once again suppressed, Sikong Jing had them utterly powerless.

At this point, the blood flowing from Ye Wu Kui’s body had gradually turned black, and he screamed in terror: "Big brother, quickly capture the Split Armor Flying Scorpion and force it to cure me of the poison, you can’t just watch me die."

"Big brother, I really don’t want to die, I’ve only just reached the Emperor Realm and haven’t truly demonstrated my power."

Ye Wu Kui pleaded frantically, his eyes gradually losing their luster...

Meanwhile, Ye Wushen clenched his teeth fiercely and slowly looked at the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, his top-level Emperor energy slowly emanating outward.

However, Sikong Jing’s voice rang out for the third time: "Ye Wushen, I’ve already given you a chance at the life and death battle, don’t make me truly announce my complete withdrawal from Willow Leaf City..."

This statement instantly turned Ye Wushen’s face extremely grim, his expression wildly fluctuating.

Ultimately, Ye Wushen sighed loudly: "Wu Kui, back then you should have brought Ajing back to the Willow Leaf Saint Manor, you shouldn’t have sent someone to eliminate him, you must bear the consequences of your own sins."

He intentionally spoke loudly so Sikong Jing could hear it.

With things at this point, he couldn’t save Ye Wu Kui.

Having already demonstrated his anger and urgency, now he needed to quickly change his tone and flatter Sikong Jing.

The implication was clear: it was all Ye Wu Kui’s doing, Ye Wu Kui was too wicked, Grand Uncle I never issued the kill order.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wu Kui stared wide-eyed and then... pu!

A mouthful of black blood gushed out wildly, as someone of similar character, Ye Wu Kui understood his big brother too well.

Now that these words were spoken, it meant he was being completely abandoned.

His teeth were stained with blood, and suddenly he thought of something...

Ye Wu Kui suddenly looked towards the Divine Shuttle Merchant Ship belonging to Overlord Commerce and pleaded desperately: "Third brother, second brother was wrong, help save me."

Now that big brother was unreliable, he hastily turned to third brother.

As long as Ye Wuzhi begged on his behalf, Sikong Jing would surely relent, definitely.

However, standing on the Divine Shuttle Merchant Ship, Ye Wuzhi slowly turned his back, not even glancing at Ye Wu Kui, nor responding.

Clearly, though he felt sympathetic, he would definitely not plead...

"Yue Xi, second uncle really was wrong, please beg Ajing for mercy."

Ye Wu Kui had no choice but to turn to Su Yuexi, her words were even more effective than Ye Wuzhi’s, as long as she showed mercy.

But Su Yuexi did not turn around, instead she angrily asked: "Ye Wu Kui, where’s my sister?"

With a voice full of resentment and clear spirit, Ye Wu Kui was instantly dumbfounded.

He still thought Su Yue Immortal had perished in the Demon Cave, so he knew Su Yuexi’s family could never forgive him.

No chance for mercy, utterly hopeless.

Finally, Ye Wu Kui looked towards Ye Wuzhi for the second time: "Third brother, we’ve been brothers for years, you can’t watch me die."

Ye Wuzhi clenched his fists tightly and said miserably: "Cut all ties!"

Previously, he never considered him a brother, now about to die he calls brotherhood, it’s laughable, pathetic, infuriating, detestable!

And suddenly, Ye Wushen thought of something and sighed: "Wu Kui, it’s not that big brother blames you, you had previously hurt third brother’s heart, forcing him to sever ties with you, you still have the nerve to call Wu Zhi brother."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wu Kui once again was dumbstruck...

Dear mother, what did he mean by cutting ties with me, he cut ties with you too!

Nonetheless, Ye Wushen continued unabated: "Why did you hide it? If after returning you had dealt with Ye Luushi and Liu Shisun, and apologized to Zhenglong Yuexi, it wouldn’t have come to this."

"Wu Kui, oh Wu Kui, what can big brother say about you?"

With things at this point, Ye Wushen couldn’t care less about what he had previously said in Willow Leaf Hall, he directly threw all the blame onto Ye Wu Kui, after all the latter was doomed to die, let him shoulder everything.

Wow...

Ye Wushen’s words instantly caused Ye Wu Kui to spew black blood continuously from his mouth, like a fountain.

As the poison deepened, he fainted on the spot.
