At these words, the expressions of Ghost Elder and Poison Elder changed drastically. The murderous intent in Xu Ke's words was palpable.
Poison Elder panicked. "Mister Xu, please, I'm begging you! Whatever you ask, I'll do it. Please give me and the old man a chance to live. We'll never dare to cross you again!"
Having been assassins their entire lives, they were long accustomed to killing for money. Now, confronted by Xu Ke, they knew they were in the wrong and couldn't argue. All they could do was plead.
Ghost Elder's expression turned grim, but he remained silent. He wanted to sacrifice himself to free Poison Elder from Xu Ke's control, but with her now begging for their lives, any talk of giving up would only render her pleas meaningless. Only a single thought consumed him. If Xu Ke tries to kill us, I'll fight to the death and make him pay the price!
