Shen Yuxuan felt like sitting on pins and needles.

He guessed that Lin Zhong would see through his lie, but he didn't guess that Lin Zhong would expose it to his face.

"I don't want to die, I want to live."

After being silent for more than ten seconds, Shen Yuxuan said bitterly: "I originally thought I was not afraid of death, but I still overestimated myself after all."

"So, why don't you run away?"

Lin Zhong covered his mouth and coughed a few times. His expression became more and more exhausted, and even his eyes became a little misty and illusory: "I think Cheng Ailun should have prepared an escape route in advance. With the skills of the two of you, even if you can't defeat him, you can still escape.

"

"Because I am unwilling."

Shen Yuxuan's cheek muscles twitched a few times. After learning from the previous lesson, he decided to tell the truth: "Cheng Ailun is a loser and is not worth my life for him!"

"So you're going to take a gamble?"

Lin Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Bet I won't kill you?"

Shen Yuxuan was immediately speechless.

After a moment, Shen Yuxuan asked cautiously: "Will you kill me?"

Lin Zhong said expressionlessly: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

"Although I went astray and almost made a big mistake, I luckily stepped back from the brink in time and didn't really do anything unforgivable."

Shen Yuxuan was scratching his stomach and was sweating profusely in an instant: "Furthermore, I killed Cheng Ailun, the culprit, and solved a big trouble for the Wu League. I should consider it a meritorious service, right? I don't ask you to reward me, I just ask you to give me a chance to change my mind."

opportunities, just like Xu Hailong’s.”

Regarding Shen Yuxuan's request, Lin Zhong was noncommittal and said in a calm tone: "Have you ever had the blood of ordinary people or members of the Martial Alliance on your hands?"

When he said these words, Lin Chong's eyes were dark and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, which made Shen Yuxuan feel heavy pressure and almost breathless.

"No!" Shen Yuxuan replied firmly.

Lest Lin Zhong didn't believe it, after a two-second pause, he quickly added: "I am the owner of Changfeng Martial Arts Hall. I have a certain influence and appeal in the martial arts community in Bigang City. I am mainly responsible for coordination, such as helping Cheng Ailun and others

The Far East Intelligence Office inquires about information, provides accommodation, contacts helpers, etc. There is no need for me to personally come forward to kill people. Please be clear about it."

After listening to Shen Yuxuan's answer, Lin Zhong fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.

Although Lin Zhong was seriously injured at the moment and only had 30% of his original strength left, it was not difficult to kill Shen Yuxuan because there was a huge gap like a chasm between Dan Jin and Hua Jin, which could not be filled by mere injuries.

The key is, is it really necessary to kill Shen Yuxuan?

Bigang City is in turmoil. If Shen Yuxuan is killed who has given up resistance, will the remaining people be miserable and become alienated?

But if he didn't kill him, Lin Zhong would be upset again.

Those dead members, those brothers who died

Although Shen Yuxuan was not the culprit, but an accomplice, he was absolutely inseparable from the attack on the Yanhuang Military Alliance.

According to Lin Zhong's original thoughts, these treacherous, evil and ambitious people should be killed and eradicated, and no fish should be allowed to slip through the net.

Whether it is Cheng Ailun, Shen Yuxuan, or Capturing the Dragon and Controlling the Crane, no one is innocent, and they should all be killed to avoid future troubles.

However, imagination and reality cannot be confused after all.

Lin Zhong is the leader of the Martial Alliance. Before making any decision, he must weigh the pros and cons, consider the consequences and impact, and cannot do whatever he wants like before.

Reason told Lin Zhong that keeping Shen Yuxuan alive would be more useful than killing him.

Firstly, it can show the magnanimity of the Wu League and win more fence-sitters; secondly, it can restore the stability of Bigang City as soon as possible and improve the reputation of the Wumen League; thirdly, it can attack the White Eagle Federation's Far East Intelligence Office and weaken its influence in Blue Harbor.

The influence of the port city.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhong had countless thoughts running through his mind.

Unlike Lin Zhong's calmness, Shen Yuxuan on the other side was in a state of anxiety and agony, like a death row prisoner waiting for the final verdict.

This feeling of life and death being in the hands of others is really torturous.

Shen Yuxuan is determined, has experienced many storms, and has seen many big scenes. He will not be easily moved by external objects, let alone emotions.

Because of this, he was pretentious and had strong ambitions, eager to make further progress in martial arts training and gain the power to control the wind and rain.

Ambition is the force that drives mankind forward. Some people just think about it in their minds, while others put it into action, and the long river of destiny flows from there.

Shen Yuxuan is undoubtedly the latter.

That's what he thought and what he did.

He placed his bet on Cheng Ailun, hoping that Cheng Ailun could help him take off.

However, facts proved that Shen Yuxuan made the wrong bet.

Cheng Ailun had no ability to help him realize his ambitions. He was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, ambitious but weak in talent, fierce and timid, and always scheming, which almost caused him to lose all his money.

When he discovered that Cheng Ailun could not help him achieve his goal, Shen Yuxuan decided to cut his losses immediately and use Cheng Ailun's head as his amulet and certificate of investment.

This is why Shen Yuxuan killed Cheng Ailun.

When Shen Yuxuan thought about it, he was certainly guilty, but his crime did not lead to death. As long as he killed Cheng Ailun, the instigator, the merits and demerits would be equalized.

Although Shen Yuxuan firmly believed that Lin Zhong would not do anything to him, when things came to a close, he still had to worry about gains and losses.

"What if he doesn't let me go?"

"Should I run away?"

"Can you escape?"

Shen Yuxuan was so distraught that he lowered his head and secretly observed the surroundings with his eyes, looking for a way out.

Lin Zhong noticed Shen Yuxuan's small movements, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his right hand and slowly extended it forward, with a calm and carefree posture, but it seemed to contain endless murderous intent.

If Shen Yuxuan escapes, then slap him to death; if Shen Yuxuan does not escape, then spare his life.

Lin Zhong decided to leave Shen Yuxuan's life and death to himself.

As Lin Zhong stretched out his palm, Shen Yuxuan's whole body suddenly shook, and his hair stood on end.

"He wants to kill me?!"

escape?

Still not escaping?

Shen Yuxuan's inner world is at war with heaven and man.

Seeing Lin Zhong's palm getting closer and closer to him, Shen Yuxuan gritted his teeth, suppressed the urge to run away, simply closed his eyes and waited for death.

The thunderous palm in his imagination did not fall. Lin Zhong just patted Shen Yuxuan on the shoulder, and then raised his hand to support him: "Get up."

As if hearing the sound of nature, Shen Yuxuan knew that he had made the right bet.

Lin Zhong really didn't intend to kill him.

There was great terror between life and death. Shen Yuxuan's face turned pale after he finally narrowly escaped death. His whole body looked like he had been fished out of the water, and he almost collapsed.

He opened his eyes, stood up, and asked in a low voice: "You won't kill me?"

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."

Lin Zhong said calmly: "But don't be too happy. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. If you want to change your mind, you must do one more thing for me."
