Listening to Li Xueli's words, Asher furrowed his brows in displeasure. He understood that the person in front of him was a psychopath. From the way he spoke about the two people he just murdered, it sounded like it was a normal occurrence for him to kill whoever he wanted on a whim. Furthermore, he even boasted about committing such cruel acts with pride and glee.
It was clear to Asher that the young man in front of him was no longer sane. In fact, he might never have been right in the first place. 'After all, who in their right mind would brag about being a mass murderer?' he thought.
A few moments of silence passed by as both men stared at each other while observing their opponent, before Li Xueli broke the ice with a mocking smirk, "What's wrong? Too scared to speak? Or are you thinking about running away with your tail between your legs? Hahaha! Go on! I know how silk pants like you works.
After all, there's no way an ant like you could survive without the protection of his background. Go back to your momma and cry for help while sucking on her tits! Hahaha!"
Upon hearing his ridicule, Asher narrowed his eyes as a dangerous gleam flashed within his gaze, which Li Xueli failed to notice as he continued taunting Asher.
"No response again? Perhaps I should be more convincing." Li Xueli stated before walking towards Asher.
However, Asher didn't move a muscle and just stood there, watching his approaching figure with a cold expression on his face.
When Li Xueli saw him remaining motionless, he felt his anger boil over and exclaimed with an expression of rage, "Hey, silk pants! Don't tell me that you are still pretending to be strong and confident, even now, eh? Or are you taking my words as a joke?"
After listening to his continuous barrage of insults, Asher looked at him with his icy gaze and asked in a cold voice, "Do you always run your mouth this much?"
He looked at Asher with blood lust in his eyes and shouted with killing intent, "YOU DARE INSULT ME LIKE THAT? I WILL SLAUGHTER YOU! I'LL GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT, AND CUT OFF YOUR FUCKING TONGUE, SO YOU CAN'T SPEAK EVER AGAIN. THEN I'LL CUT OFF YOUR LIMBS BEFORE CASTRATING YOU AND LEAVING YOU AS AN UNRECOGNIZABLE PIECE OF MEAT!"
"See? What did I just say? You just proved me right. You really cannot shut your mouth unless you have something in it." Asher sneered at him without a hint of fear.
"ARRRGGGHHHH!!" With a scream of rage, Li Xueli shot forward as he thrust his spear towards Asher.
He aimed straight for Asher's head, aiming to pierce through his skull and unleash all the pent-up rage and humiliation he felt from his earlier mockery.
However, instead of dodging out of the way or defending himself, Asher stood still in his spot as he looked into Li Xueli's eyes and saw the madness within them.
The very next moment, as the spear pierced through his head, Li Xueli smirked in triumph before his expression changed into bewilderment when he realized that he couldn't feel any blood flowing out of him. Instead, he saw his spear passing through Asher's body as if it were a mirage, and he found himself stumbling forward.
Then, before he could react, he heard a voice calling out from behind him, "Too slow."
After which, he felt a sharp pain coming from his back as something cut through his flesh as if it were butter before a warm liquid started flowing down his back, followed by another sensation of being sliced through, like 'X' marks.
"GAHHH!" A pained scream escaped from his mouth as he stumbled forward, but he managed to maintain his balance.
