"Leave the Bai Family?" Bai Yuze sneered and said, "Haven't you noticed? My dad and my brother aren't here. Today, we're going all out. Once we fail, my dad and my brother will completely hide, and when the Bai Family rises again, they'll come back for revenge!"

Lin Tian and the others looked at the crowd in front of them, and sure enough, Bai Yuanhao and Bai Yufeng were absent, indicating the Bai Family was truly desperate.

"And..." Bai Yuze looked at Lin Tian and said, "You just hurt me and now want to negotiate terms? Fine, pay back double and we'll talk, or else you can kill us now, but you'll never find Mrs. Xiao's whereabouts!"

Someone threatened Lin Tian, and Ghost and the others glanced viciously, ready to pummel this damned Bai Yuze, but Lin Tian stopped them and calmly said, "Alright, how do you want me to repay?"

Bai Yuze smirked and said, "The ancient forest heroes had a simple punishment: three cuts and six holes. I don't even need six; just give me three cuts and three holes."

"Lin Tian, no, we also captured Bai Yuze, use him for the exchange!" Xiao Manxuan shouted loudly. Just hearing about the three cuts and six holes made the little girl look pale; each cut pierced through, impossibly brutal.

Lin Tian, however, laughed and said, "Alright, don't just say three cuts and three holes; as many cuts as you want." He wasn't afraid of bullets, so why fear a knife?

He gestured to Ghost, who naturally understood what Lin Tian wanted. Although a bit worried, he handed his dagger to Lin Tian anyway.

"Brother Tian, this is a real edged blade, be careful," Ghost whispered.

Lin Tian took the dagger, gave him a reassuring nod, then said to Bai Yuze, "Do you want me to stab the thigh or the arm, you choose."

"Boss Lin, you're not serious, right? With our strength, we could eliminate them in an instant. Why not restrain them and interrogate them slowly? I don't believe this coward Bai Yuze can withstand the Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty!"

Bai Yuze, however, smiled oddly and said, "Lin Tian, who told you to use his dagger?"

Lin Tian sneered, "Then what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, just providing you with a dagger," Bai Yuze said proudly, then took something out of his pocket.

It was also a dagger, but the shape was extremely odd. The blade was slender, and the handle resembled a skeletal hand, making it look as if one was shaking hands with a skeleton when wielding it. It looked very eerie.

Bai Yuze tossed the dagger to Lin Tian, laughing, "I prepared a dagger for you, enjoy it."

Lin Tian caught the dagger, inspected it up and down, and Miss and the others also examined it; the dagger's design was indeed bizarre, appearing quite unsettling at night.

"What? Are you scared?" Bai Yuze taunted. White Zhengchu didn't stop him at all, tacitly approving his actions.

"The craft markets are full of bizarre-looking daggers like this. You think you can fool us with a random purchase?" Lin Tian smiled faintly.

With that, he raised the dagger without hesitation, stabbing it into his own arm. Miss and Ghost frowned, and Xiao Manxuan exclaimed in shock. Miss knew Lin Tian's skills, so she didn't intervene.

Lin Tian also trusted his zombie body that an ordinary dagger couldn't harm. The dagger pierced downward, but Lin Tian was stunned, as the blade didn't stop at the surface as usual; instead, it pierced through.

His zombie body was actually pierced by a dagger; Lin Tian's shock was even greater than when he first encountered the Half Zombie!

How is this possible! What is going on? Lin Tian's mind was in turmoil. There was definitely something wrong with this dagger. With Bai Yuze's abilities, it's impossible he got such a dagger. Who is truly behind the Bai Family?

"Lin Tian..."

"Brother Tian..."

"Boss Lin!"

The Xiao sisters and Ghost exclaimed in panic, especially Miss, who knew Lin Tian's abilities well; impenetrable by blades and bullets, yet now stabbed by a dagger!

"Lin Tian, are you surprised? Do you want to know why? Well, I'm not going to tell you," Bai Yuze said smugly.

"Get on with it, two more cuts to go. A man's word is his bond, no turning back now, right? Hehehe..." Bai Yuze taunted again, infuriating Ghost and the others.

Lin Tian glanced at him, snorted coldly, and forcefully pulled out the dagger, instantly staining his sleeve with blood.

What a waste, this is all zombie blood. Lin Tian suddenly thought, if those present knew he was concerned about the loss of blood, not the pain, what would they think?

"Even if my body ends up full of holes, it's none of your business!" Lin Tian retorted fiercely.

Saying this, Lin Tian stabbed again, the eerie dagger penetrating the zombie body once more, blood splattering upon withdrawal.

"Lin Tian, stop it, stop stabbing. Let's think of another way, we can certainly save mom," Xiao Manxuan rushed over, grabbed Lin Tian's hand, and cried.

"Second Miss, I'm fine. This isn't as simple as you think, step aside," Lin Tian gently reassured her.

The appearance of this bizarre dagger meant that the situation was far more complicated than just the Bai Family. Lin Tian deliberately harmed himself to quickly uncover the person behind the Bai Family.

"Lin Tian, it's all my fault, my Xiao Family's fault, otherwise you wouldn't be suffering these injuries," Xiao Manxuan said, tears falling sadly.

"Are you two performing a tragic play? Why drag it out so long? Let me remind you, there's still one cut left?" Bai Yuze mocked, feeling a sense of relief from the pressure as he said this.

Since Lin Tian's appearance, he had been constantly suppressed, the spotlight stolen, repeatedly suffering losses at Lin Tian's hands, humiliated in public. But now, forcing Lin Tian to self-harm, he couldn't be more pleased.

Lin Tian didn't hesitate, stabbing once more. Xiao Manxuan turned pale, almost fainting.

"Miss, quickly support Second Miss, she doesn't look well," Lin Tian quickly instructed.

Miss hurriedly supported Xiao Manxuan, but she still worriedly asked Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, what's going on? Your school's Ancient Martial cultivation reached a level where blades and bullets can't harm you. Why can't a single dagger be resisted?"

"I don't know either. The issue lies with this dagger. I suspect there's someone behind the Bai Family. Otherwise, how would he dare to openly deal with us? You know, either of us alone could wipe out the Bai Family!" Lin Tian said with a frown.

"Who? The Japanese?" Miss frowned.

"Looking at the dagger's design, it doesn't seem like something from Japan, rather more like a Medieval European item. So, the big boss behind this is very likely a vampire?" Lin Tian analyzed.
