All the Elders have died. In the vast space of Sky Net Headquarters, the air is filled with a dense smell of blood.

Bodies cover the ground, lying in disarray on the cold floor.

The Grand Elder and others had a single-minded intent to kill Ye Fan so they could die peacefully. Therefore, some necessary measures had to be taken, and the Elders were convinced that with their numbers and strength, they could destroy Ye Fan.

Not to mention that Ye Fan was stabbed by Song Meimei, which made it even easier to kill him.

However, the last one standing was Ye Fan, and all those attempting to kill him are dead.

Neither the Elders nor the guards could withstand Ye Fan’s killing intent.

Time was short, and the Elders gave Ye Fan no chance to breathe, because Fire Phoenix and the Butcher were about to break in. In such a situation, the Elders naturally rushed to kill Ye Fan.

Thus, in this race against time, the Elders lost.

They successfully intercepted the first rescue attempt by Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, but they lost in the hands of Ye Fan.

The price Ye Fan paid was also steep; three knife wounds made him bleed a lot and injured him severely.

If not for his resilient willpower to grit his teeth and hold on, he would have collapsed long ago.

On scene, only three people remained.

Song Meimei sat slumped on the ground, in a daze, daring not approach, nor having the face to take a step closer to Ye Fan.

Song Tianba was frenzied, continuously mocking the death of the Grand Elder and others, finding it extremely exhilarating.

Yet, after all the Elders died, he calmed down.

Looking at Ye Fan covered in blood, wielding the Slaying Blade with an imposing presence, Song Tianba asked quietly, "Ye Fan, next, you should be killing me, right?"

The scene earlier had Ye Fan too dominant, with killing power fierce and unmatched.

The invincible demeanor deeply shook Song Tianba’s heart.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s shadow was still deeply etched in his mind, making it hard to forget.

"Kill you?" Ye Fan glanced dismissively at Song Tianba, coldly saying, "Why should I kill you?"

"I’ve targeted you time and again; don’t you want to kill me?" Song Tianba expressed disbelief, incredulously saying, "If you want to kill me, go ahead. I’ve prepared myself; don’t pretend anymore."

"Think what you want, you pose no threat to me; it’s unnecessary to kill you. This is your last chance; don’t fall into my hands next time, or I won’t spare you." Ye Fan said indifferently, "Hope you take care, don’t do foolish things. Seeking to deal with me is nothing but a road to self-destruction. Hope you understand this."

"Understand? I understand shit." Song Tianba said bitterly, "I don’t need your pity, if you have the guts kill me with one blow, sparing me the torment."

"I haven’t tortured you, nor cared to. The reason you’re suffering is that Sky Net used you like a fool, without your knowledge. That’s probably what you can’t tolerate the most, right?" Ye Fan remarked.

"Shut up, shut up." Song Tianba was ashamed to death, Ye Fan had exposed his innermost thoughts, making him utterly embarrassed.

"If I kill you, you’d likely feel relieved; death would end it all." Ye Fan said indifferently, "If you want relief, go seek death yourself. Dying by my hands? You don’t have the qualification."

If the Second Elder heard these words, he might go mad with joy; being unworthy to die by Ye Fan’s hand was what the Second Elder had bitterly hoped for. But Song Tianba did not appreciate it.

"Relief? Maybe. I, the formidable Patriarch of the Song Family, someone with status, was manipulated like a foolish idiot. Of course I have reason to hate the Grand Elder and the others." Song Tianba gritted his teeth, "Ending up like this, I brought it on myself. Can’t blame anyone else."

He looked at Ye Fan with interest, "However, forcing me to seek death, I won’t do such a foolish thing."

"Whether you commit suicide or not, it’s none of my concern." Ye Fan said.

"You know, your dismissive attitude is very annoying." Song Tianba mixed with some anger.

Ye Fan said calmly, "What qualifications do you have to speak to me peacefully? Do you deserve it?"

"You ..." Song Tianba was choked up, his expression changing, and he had nothing to say.

Defeated, he said, "Yes, I don’t have the qualification."

Seeing Ye Fan had no intention of conversing, he said unwillingly, "If you don’t kill me today, in the future, you won’t have the chance. Are you really not going to kill me?"

On this topic, Song Tianba pressed again.

"Opportunities are abundant for me; it’s up to you to be worthy of becoming my enemy." Ye Fan mocked, "After this, you can try, but before I make a move, you might get wiped out. After all, there are many who support me, many who want to please me; you’re unaware how many are eager to ally with me, many would be more anxious than I am to eliminate my enemies."

"Yes, with Sky Net’s fall, Terminator returns to the Underworld. This news is shocking. Terminator, Fire Phoenix, and the Butcher joined forces, leaving no adversary, no matter the power, able to challenge them." Song Tianba muttered, "If I recklessly provoke you, I don’t know how I’ll die, nor what entity seeks to flatter you, extinguishing me."

Song Tianba saw through everything, casting a reluctant glance at Song Meimei’s slumped figure on the ground, guilty, saying, "The reason you don’t kill me is for Song Meimei’s sake, the world knows you are cruel and emotionless. I finally realize you cherishing and nurturing those you care about, tolerating some mistakes. But if anyone crosses your bottom line, it’s a fight to the death."

"Watch that foolish woman, don’t let her do stupid things. After all, we’re friends, I don’t want to see her meet a tragic end." Ye Fan advised.

"I failed my daughter, utterly failed her. I’m such a bastard." Song Tianba self-blamed, "It’s all my obsession with revenge that blinded me, leading me astray. I’m utterly wrong. I’ve failed as a father."

Song Tianba walked towards Song Meimei.

Ye Fan’s expression was mild, not overly concerned with Song Tianba and Song Meimei.
