His words cut off as Nanzhi suddenly vanished from his sight, her speed surging beyond what he had anticipated. A split second later, a punch drove into his stomach.

"GHHK—!"

Mingsi was sent hurtling backward, slamming into the cavern wall hard enough to leave a crater. Dust and debris rained down.

When the dust settled, Mingsi staggered to his feet.

His smirk was gone.

His gaze was dark.

 "Tch." Mingsi muttered, wiping the bit of blood from his lips. His voice colder now, "You've got some nerve. I was going to have some fun first, but it looks like you want to die painfully instead. "

"Alright," he muttered, rolling his neck as his bones audibly snapped and reshaped themselves into even denser armor. "Enough playing around. I'll rip you apart properly this time!"

He doesn't mind playing with a corpse!
