Who hid My Corpse!

Lu Ji was furious, extremely furious.

He felt completely blindsided by Ulu's assassination attempt. At this moment, he felt he had been viciously bitten by a dog that he had domesticated for many years, tearing off flesh, skin, and sinew.

"How dare you?! How dare you?!" Consumed with rage, he ignored the wound on his abdomen and rushed up to Ulu, grabbing his neck and shouting into his ear, "You disrespectful beast! Ingrate! Look at me, look at me, ingrate! Tell me, how could you dare?!"

At that time, Lu Ji was like a furious old dog, using strength that seemed incongruous with his age-worn hands to clamp tightly around Ulu's neck as if he intended to choke him to death.

Ulu hadn't expected to be counterattacked by Lu Ji so swiftly. He began to regret not using Bai Wei's power immediately when he entered.

He had originally contemplated whether he could kill Lu Ji without using Bai Wei's power. After all, Lu Ji was just an old man. No matter how formidable, he was still just an old man. If his actions were fast enough, he could stab Lu Ji to death before he could use his extraordinary power and end the fight.

Moreover, Ulu harbored a certain fear towards Bai Wei's power and had thought not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now, he had no choice but to use it. Thus, he called out silently in his heart, "Save me, Lord Visas."

But Bai Wei did not respond, as if he had suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that Ulu was silent, Lu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Not so brave now? You coward. You were like this twenty years ago and you are still the same today, like a dog that only knows how to please its master… Where did you get the courage to attack me?"

Even though Ulu held a deep reverence for Lu Ji, being backed into a corner and insulted like this was more than even the most cowardly person could bear, especially since he had prepared himself mentally to assassinate Lu Ji. At this moment, his adrenaline surged and he glared fiercely at Lu Ji, growling, "From the moment you acted against me, I was ready to take my revenge! It just happens to be today. After all you've done, you still expect to retire peacefully?!"

Hearing Ulu's words, the rage on Lu Ji's face lessened somewhat, replaced by disdain and mockery.

"Thinking of revenge since that day? Ha! Don't paint yourself as some kind of determined avenger who has endured hardships for revenge. Do you think I don't know you well? Is there anything you haven't done that I have done? You and I are the same kind of person. You didn't come to kill me for some noble reason like revenge; it's merely because you couldn't bear to see me share in the relief funds, am I right?"

Seeing his thoughts exposed, Ulu widened his eyes and subconsciously tried to argue, but saw Lu Ji shake his head.

"No, no, you... even if you really wanted that money, you wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me personally. You don't have the guts." After speaking, Lu Ji slowly stood up, looking down on Ulu, "Tell me, who sent you? Who instigated this?"

Everything was laid bare.

Lu Ji's words made Ulu feel as if he were decades younger, stripped naked and forced to read the "Rhein Covenant" on the table, his vulnerability starkly exposed before Lu Ji.

"Speak!" Lu Ji growled, grabbing Ulu's neck again, "Who sent you?!"

Ulu still didn't dare answer Lu Ji.

Because he knew very well, although Lu Ji was terrifying, the entity within him was even more frightening.

For some reason, since a while ago, Bai Wei had yet to respond to him, as if he had disappeared.

"You don't want to talk, do you? You ungrateful cur!" Lu Ji roared, "When you couldn't afford food, who provided it for you? When you had nowhere to go, who gave you a job and made you a priest? If it weren't for me, you might have starved to death by now, or ended up like your family, sold into a brothel or a coal mine. I gave you everything, yet you think not of gratitude but of murder. It was all supposed to be yours after I retired, but you couldn't even wait that long... Very well, since you're so impatient, go down and reunite with your family!"

Lu Ji's smile grew more ferocious.

"A dog that bites its master should have been killed from the start!"

As he spoke, Lu Ji's right hand sealed again, and the magic chains binding Ulu began to extend, sprouting barbs that easily pierced Ulu's flesh.

Clearly, Lu Ji intended to kill Ulu in the manner one would slaughter a beast — by bleeding him out.

Because in his eyes, Ulu was nothing more than a beast.

Seeing this, Ulu's eyes filled with despair as he struggled to reach out with his inner strength, his final plea echoing, "Lord Visas... save, save, me..."

And this time, he finally received a response.

Bai Wei calmly said, "Snap your fingers, use my fingers."

Snap his fingers?

Ulu was somewhat confused, but there was no time left to ponder.

His entire body was bound; only his fingers remained free.

So, he pressed Bai Wei's finger together with his own thumb, and then...

"Snap."

A crisp snap of the fingers.

It was so ordinary that Lu Ji didn't even react.

Just an invisible magic power surge spread from behind Ulu,

and at that moment, Lu Ji's Magic Chains crumbled, and Ulu regained his freedom.

Both were stunned.

What was going on?

Lu Ji stared blankly at Ulu.

Everything had happened so quickly that Lu Ji hadn't felt anything when the Magic Chains had disappeared. It was as if his spell had been directly canceled by some formidable force.

Ulu was equally dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.

Until Bai Wei said indifferently in his mind, "What? Still waiting for him to cast another spell?"

Ulu then snapped back to reality.

Lu Ji's spell had been canceled.

Now, the room only contained a helpless old man and a strong man with a knife by his side.

Lu Ji also realized something and his eyes gradually widened.

This time, he finally felt the fear of impending death.

"You can't kill me," Lu Ji hurriedly shouted, "Bishop Corey will..."

He was cut off mid-sentence.

The rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

Then Ulu rushed forward, stabbing Lu Ji in the chest over and over.

It was only when Lu Ji was utterly devoid of any sign of life that Ulu finally collapsed into the pool of blood, relieved.

He stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before realizing what had happened.

He had killed Lu Ji.

He had killed the Lu Ji he had feared for half his life.

It was as easy as killing a dog.

At that moment, he finally felt that he was powerful.

Truly very powerful.

So he burst into manic laughter.

Ulu was very satisfied.

But he didn't notice that his left middle finger stood silently erect, like a person standing straight up, silently watching him.

After a long while, the fallen index finger also slowly stood up without Ulu's notice, twisted towards the middle finger in an extremely distorted posture, and then slowly bowed its head as if... saluting the middle finger.

Bai Wei was also very satisfied.
