Chapter 417: A Little Wildcat in Each Hand
Gao Dongxu leisurely looked at the pair of sisters in front of him who were on high alert, with a playful smile like a cat playing with a mouse on his lips.

He waved his hand casually, and Leng Feng and the other three immediately understood and retreated to the wall, forming a perfect encirclement.

His slender fingers slowly and methodically unbuttoned the buttons of his custom-made suit, took off the elegant suit, unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, and rolled them up to his forearms, revealing the well-defined forearm muscles - beneath that seemingly elegant movement lay the explosive power of a beast.

"Interesting," he whispered, his gaze lingering over the sisters' tense forms. As a powerful being who had already entered the realm of the transcendent, he could clearly sense the aura coursing through their bodies—they were indeed top-tier among ordinary people, but in front of him, they were just two ferocious little wild cats.

Liu Ruxin keenly sensed the teasing in her sister's gaze, and the hairs on the back of her neck instantly stood up. She quietly leaned back, her back pressed against her sister's warmth, a tacit understanding they'd cultivated over the years of combat. A butterfly knife, pulled out from nowhere, traced an icy arc in her palm, its reflected light dancing in her cold eyes.

"If you can beat me, I will let you go today, but otherwise, you can only let me slaughter you obediently..." Gao Dongxu stood there completely defenseless, and while speaking, he raised his right hand and waved at the two men.

"I'm afraid of you—!" Ruqing, with her fiery temper like a hot pepper, suddenly cried out, her body, which had been gathering strength for a long time, shot out like an arrow from a bow. Her decision to strike first wasn't reckless, but rather a carefully calculated one—her sister excelled at striking back, and she had to create the optimal rhythm for both of them.

Gao Dongxu's eyes flashed with admiration, but then turned into a deeper smile. In his extraordinary vision, Liu Ruqing's lightning-fast movements were broken down into slow-motion frames.

The tense calf muscles, the slightly dented carpet from exerting force, even the slight air current created by the blade cutting through the air. He leaned sideways as if strolling in the garden, and as the blade brushed past his nose, he could still smell the faint bitter almond scent tempered on the blade - cyanide.

Damn, this pair of sisters are really vicious. The two weapons that have appeared are all coated with poison.

This person has really been spoiled by the old Chaofeng.

The sting of a wasp and the message in the mouth of a green snake are both not poisonous, but the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!

"Left." Liu Ruxin had predicted the outcome the moment her sister struck. With ghostly speed, she slashed into Gao Dongxu's blind spot, the tip of her blade piercing his waist. The strike, seemingly simple, was in reality a rehearsed, deadly move, designed to defeat the master's shifting center of gravity during a dodgy dodge.

But Gao Dongxu only made a soft "tsk!" sound. His body twisted at an angle that defied the laws of physics, and Liu Ru's determined strike missed. Even more terrifying, she felt the tip of the knife could have hit, but it missed by a hair's breadth.

"Is that all you can do?" Gao Dongxu even had time to adjust his cuffs, his disappointment undisguised. He could see the shock flashing in Liu Ruxin's eyes, a rare sight for the typically mechanically precise killer. Interesting, truly interesting.

The moment the sisters' eyes met, Gao Dongxu guessed their intention. Sure enough, Liu Ruqing suddenly ducked and slid, her blade slashing at her lower body like a venomous snake. Almost simultaneously, Liu Ruxin's blade insidiously slashed towards her ankle. This coordination was so seamless that an ordinary person would have been unable to avoid it.

"That's more like it," Gao Dongxu chuckled. His internal energy surged, and the world slowed down completely before his eyes. He could see the lines of Liu Ruqing's neck tense from exertion, and count the tiny beads of sweat on Liu Ruxin's eyelashes. When the two knives were three inches away from him, his hands suddenly turned into two afterimages.

"boom!"

The dull thud of bones colliding made Leng Feng and the others frown. Gao Dongxu's hands gripped the sisters' wrists like iron pliers, his fingertips pressing precisely on their ulnar nerves. This angle, this force, could instantly weaken them without actually injuring them—after all, he couldn't bear to destroy such a perfect work.

Liu Ruxin felt an overwhelming force radiating from her wrist, causing her entire arm to tingle and tingle. Even more terrifying, she felt as if her bones were being crushed. The intense pain made her... Before she could even scream, a tremendous force pulled her forward.

"puff--!"

The moment Gao Dongxu's shoulders collided with hers, Liu Ruxin vaguely heard the whine of her ribs. The force was controlled with exquisite precision—just enough to incapacitate them without causing permanent damage. As she was about to be flung backward, she twisted her body with all her might, using her body to cushion some of the impact for her sister.

The leather sofa groaned under the weight, and the two sisters tumbled to the floor like broken dolls. Liu Ruqing coughed up blood, her vision shimmering with stars. She instinctively reached for her fallen weapon, but found her fingers trembling uncontrollably. Even more alarming was her sister's usually steady breathing, now ragged and shallow.

"Now, are you convinced?" Gao Dongxu's footsteps approached like a death knell. Liu Ruxin struggled to hold her upper body upright, her right arm hanging limply, but she stubbornly used her left hand to protect her sister behind her. This action made Gao Dongxu raise an eyebrow—given the absolute disparity in strength, this kind of protection was both ridiculous and touching.

"You still don't admit defeat?" He tiptoed, and the butterfly knife slid several meters away. The sound of metal rubbing against the marble floor was particularly harsh. Liu Ruqing stared at the cold light, his eyes full of unwillingness.

She had always been proud and had never imagined that one day she would be defeated so completely. But when she turned around and saw her sister's pale face, her stubbornness suddenly turned into a deeper fear - they would really die here.

Liu Ruxin took a deep breath, a sharp pain surging through her injured organs. As a sister, she knew better than anyone the vulnerability beneath her sister's proud exterior. As a killer, she understood even more how terrifying the man before her was—a force they could not contend with. When her eyes met Gao Dongxu's, she saw the calmness of victory in his eyes, as well as a chilling anticipation.

"Sister," Liu Ruqing's voice trembled with a tremor she had never heard before. She understood the determination in her sister's eyes, but was unwilling to accept this result. Liu Ruxin gently pressed her sister's wrist, and this simple action made both of them tear up. For the first time in many years, they truly felt what it meant to be powerless. "We give up." Liu Ruxin looked up at Gao Dongxu, her voice hoarse but firm. The moment she said this, she felt something shattered in her heart, but her arms protecting her sister did not relax at all.

Gao Dongxu squatted down and pinched Liu Ruxin's chin with his slender fingers. He could feel the suppressed trembling of this stubborn girl and see the humiliation and determination intertwined in her eyes.

What's even more interesting is that he noticed Liu Ruqing's body tensed up instantly, and her left hand quietly touched the boot - even at this point, the sisters were still instinctively protecting each other.

"Smart choice." He brushed his thumb across the blood at the corner of Liu Ruxin's lip, leaving a voluptuous red mark on her snow-white skin. This statement was both a compliment and a warning. When his gaze shifted to Liu Ruqing, the young girl froze like a rabbit being targeted by a beast, but the rage in her eyes remained undimmed.

"You guys go and rest first. I want to talk to the two beauties alone." Gao Dongxu said with a smile to Leng Feng and the other three.

"Okay, boss." Leng Feng and the other three nodded without any expression, turned around and walked out.

It was not until they went out and closed the door that they looked at each other with ambiguous smiles.

They were extremely envious of their boss's good fortune; they had twin sisters, so it was double the happiness... No, it was triple the happiness.

"Be more self-aware and take out all the bits and pieces from your bodies first..."

Gao Dongxu smiled and sat down on the sofa, tapping the table with his fingers and said.

The two sisters, who had recovered their breath but still felt severe pain in their bodies, supported each other and stood up with difficulty. They looked at Gao Dongxu with complicated eyes. After looking at each other, they began to take out the hidden weapons and weapons on their bodies one by one and put them on the table.

What about steel needles, hairband wires, poison ring needles, silver needles...

Gao Dongxu looked at the things on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at the two women with strange eyes.

"What are you looking at? It's gone--" Ruqing looked at Gao Dongxu's strange eyes, thinking that he didn't believe them, and said unhappily.

"Are you sure it's gone?" Gao Dongxu said to the two women with amusement.

"It's really gone--" said the elder sister with a pale face and a bitter smile.

"Okay, then please take a seat and let's chat." Gao Dongxu smiled and gestured with his hand.

"What do you want to tell us?" the younger sister asked Gao Dongxu with hostility.

"You two know the Thirteen Ghost Needles, right?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"No!" x2
The two women denied it in unison without any hesitation, but Gao Dongxu still saw the subtle changes in their eyes and expressions.

"Haha...you two are not honest." Gao Dongxu smiled jokingly at the two women.

The so-called "Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles" were created by Bian Que during the Warring States Period. It is a unique and profound method of treatment in acupuncture, considered the most miraculous aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In ancient times, it was a secret among the medical elite, known for its ability to treat a wide range of maladies and insanity.

However, Gao Dongxu, who has watched the original drama, knows that the Thirteen Ghost Needles mastered by the two sisters are the real secret. Combined with the time, they dare to fight for their lives with Yama.

"...Huan Yang needle treats asphyxiation, Ding Hun needle calms the mind and spirit, Tong Qiao needle opens the nine orifices, Xu Mai needle reconnects broken pulses, Hui Sheng needle saves the dying, Gu Yuan needle replenishes vital energy, Hua Yu needle disperses blood stasis, Qu Du needle eliminates all poisons, Tong Luo needle dredges the meridians, An Shen needle calms the mind, Regulating Qi needle regulates the Qi mechanism, Bu Xue needle nourishes the essence and blood, and An Analgesic needle relieves all pain.

If used properly, it can bring the dead back to life. If used improperly, it can harm both yourself and others." Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he looked at the two women who were shocked by what he said.
