Chapter 735 Su Changfeng's Madness
"Brother Changfeng, I'm willing to die." Dao Jiu said decisively. Before coming to Purgatory, he was already prepared to lose his life here, and with Zhu Lie safeguarding Wang Xiaoyun's future path, he no longer had anything to worry about. Moreover, if he were to die now, Su Changfeng wouldn't need to hesitate any longer.
However, Pangolin did not share Dao Jiu's resolve to face death, thus he was immensely conflicted and hesitant inside, having spent so much effort to escape from Purgatory, he did not want to die now.
"What are you hesitating about? Are you waiting for me to kill you?" Dao Jiu roared angrily at Pangolin.
Pangolin lowered his head, not daring to meet Dao Jiu's eyes. He couldn't express his willingness to die but lacked the courage to say he wanted to live either because he knew his life had no standing compared to Ye Qingtian.
At this moment, Su Changfeng suddenly took out a dagger about an inch long.
Shangguan Xuanjie mistakenly thought Su Changfeng intended to harm him and retreated continuously, saying to Su Changfeng, "Su Changfeng, what do you intend to do? Don't forget, your daughter's life is in my hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Changfeng violently thrust the dagger into his thigh, the blade sinking in.
This action stunned everyone, none understanding why Su Changfeng did this.
"Do you... know what you're doing?" Shangguan Xuanjie's voice trembled slightly, questioning whether Su Changfeng had lost his mind. Why stab his own thigh with a dagger?
"You arranged all this likely because I have something on me that you particularly value and wish to exploit? If I get injured now, shouldn't it affect your so-called plans?" Su Changfeng spoke with no sign of pain on his face, not even his eyebrows flickered, as he pulled the dagger out from his thigh.
Shangguan Xuanjie's heart skipped a beat. As Su Changfeng said, indeed, he holds significant value; otherwise, Shangguan wouldn't have let Su Changfeng destroy the entire Purgatory.
It was precisely because of Su Changfeng's appearance that Purgatory lost its reason for existence in this world.
Most entities familiar with Purgatory, whether powers or nations, believed its purpose was money laundering. However, only the core members of the Shangguan Family truly knew the real purpose was to network and gather strong figures for the family.
The Shangguan Family possesses boundless wealth and power yet another level exists on Earth, not reachable merely by money, it requires exceptionally strong prowess. That tier is the world's supreme echelon known to very few, yet coveted by every influential family.
"I think these three can leave completely intact, don't you agree?" Su Changfeng stabbed the dagger forcefully into the other thigh, instantly causing blood to gush.
"Changfeng!" Ye Qingtian shouted.
"Brother Changfeng!" Dao Jiu was utterly shocked.
Pangolin bowed his head, his entire body trembling in fright, lacking even the courage to speak.
Pangolin hadn't imagined Su Changfeng would do this to ensure they all survive, whilst Dao Jiu now slightly understood why Dao Jiu willingly sought death for Su Changfeng.
Through it all, Su Changfeng remained unfazed, despite both legs bleeding profusely, seemingly oblivious to it.
"Are you out of your damn mind?" Shangguan Xuanjie gritted his teeth, cursing at Su Changfeng. This madman would do such a thing for two people without any blood connection to him, bewildering Shangguan Xuanjie on what fills Su Changfeng's mind.
They're just two followers; dead means dead; is it worth this much concern?
Su Changfeng refrained from killing Shangguan Xuanjie since Ye Nianhai remained in his grasp yet didn't wish to see Dao Jiu and Pangolin perish here, hence the only action he could take.
Understanding his worth lay in unparalleled strength causing Shangguan Xuanjie to value him. If injured now, his prowess would undoubtedly diminish, depreciating his worth significantly.
Su Changfeng gambled on Shangguan Xuanjie's desire not to see him harmed, albeit with minuscule odds; yet he lacked alternative options, thus he had to try this way.
"Without some craziness, how will we survive in this cruel world?" Su Changfeng uttered coldly.
Shangguan Xuanjie didn't want to back down here however, Su Changfeng's gaze clearly said if refused, Su Changfeng would keep harming himself.
If Su Changfeng continued escalating harm, his value would decrease accordingly.
Having destroyed Purgatory, only to acquire a largely worthless wreck, how would he explain to the family members?
Su Changfeng noticed Shangguan Xuanjie's hesitation, implying concerns held within, prompting him to feel more assured in pressuring Shangguan Xuanjie with this point.
"Purgatory is already destroyed, consumed tremendous costs, do you really want to end possibly prematurely?" Su Changfeng carried on.
Shangguan Xuanjie's heart jolted again, surprised Su Changfeng saw through his reservations precisely, proving Su Changfeng's mind-strength equally formidable even besides immense skills, making him no trivial opponent.
Fortunately, he retained an advantage, with Ye Nianhai's life under his control, Su Changfeng could only act following his orders.
The lives of these three meant nothing to Shangguan Xuanjie, he wouldn't need to take flak within the family for them.
"I can spare them, but failing to satisfy me means their lives and your daughter's vanish anytime." Shangguan Xuanjie remarked.
Upon hearing Shangguan Xuanjie, Su Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief, approaching Dao Jiu, saying, "Once you return, take good care of Qiulu, tell her I will surely save our child and she shouldn't fret."
Dao Jiu glanced at Su Changfeng's leg wounds, adjusted his breathing, said, "Dao Jiu won't let anyone harm sister-in-law, now living solely to protect her."
Su Changfeng chuckled, patted Dao Jiu's head, said, "Don't forget your daughter, you must also care for her well."
