Divine Spear looked at as if he had seen a ghost.
"Unscathed...?"
He said, unable to accept it.
If he had seen the battle between and Yinyue with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have thought that level of attack could end the fight.
No, at least during the fight with Dream Chen Long, he should have clearly sensed the mana fluctuations when Yinyue unleashed her Killing Move and understood that I didn’t die from that strike. Most likely, he thought I had dodged it or blocked it. But his attack was neither dodgeable nor blockable.
So that’s it, no wonder he was so confident back then, claiming he could kill at any ti, even declaring that he would be the one to kill Chen Long. With such extraordinary killing power, coupled with the cheating superpower "Guaranteed Hit and Penetration", at the Great Success Rank he was literally "Gods and Buddhas slayer", the very definition of a Killing Move. Maybe even Yinyue would have a headache figuring out how to deal with such a pure killing technique.
Unfortunately for him, he t .
I didn’t wait for him to say another word, I grabbed his hair and unleashed deadly firepower.
Flas engulfed Divine Spear’s body imdiately, instantly destroying his flesh and burning his soul. A second later, the flas dissipated, leaving only a charred skull in my hand.
Divine Spear, dead.
"To kill Divine Spear in one blow..."
The other two demon hunters looked as if the sky had fallen, and if not for being gripped by the giant Fla Palm, they would probably have collapsed on the ground.
The reason I kept Divine Spear’s skull was to extract information from it. Of course, I couldn’t expect any help from Lu Youxun, and I planned to have Mazao investigate it later.
I turned to interrogate the two demon hunters about the crystal coffin. Since it seed unrelated to the man behind the curtain, they gave the information willingly this ti. The crystal coffin itself was just a spell designed to bind the target, very sturdy indeed, but with my power, I could easily shatter it and release Mazao.
Upon hearing this, I imdiately shattered the crystal coffin and carried the unconscious Mazao out.
Lu Youxun watched all this silently, and when my gaze fell on him, he wasn’t as panicked and frightened as the other two demon hunters.
"Although I can’t say it, you should be well aware of what level of person Divine Spear was backed by. From now on, you have no place to stand in Luo Mountain," he said.
"You’d better worry about your own life first," I said.
"I know you will never let go..." he said, "I’m prepared, go ahead and do it."
I carefully observed his expression.
"...What’s wrong?" he asked, "Aren’t you going to kill ?"
It seed that even though he had lost his past dreams and faith, he hadn’t beco cowardly and afraid to die. Truthfully, since I already got Divine Spear’s skull, whether I took his head or not didn’t matter. That being said, I still had no intention of sparing him. However, sothing that the young girl Lu Chan had once said flashed through my mind.
Even if Lu Youxun could face death with equanimity, there was sothing for him even more unacceptable than death itself.
I took out a silver national-level demon hunter dal.
Now that it’s co to this, I might as well fulfill young girl Lu Chan’s wish.
Upon seeing the item, Lu Youxun first showed a puzzled look, then a change in his gaze, subconsciously stepping back again and again.
"This, this thing, is, is..."
He uttered in amazent and trembling, for the first ti, I saw him show such a disheveled and fearful reaction, he groaned as if in pain: "This thing, why... why is it in your hands?"
"Lu Youxun, I want you dead."
As I walked towards him, I said, "But the one to kill you, it’s not , but yourself."
"No... Don’t!"
Seeing this, he turned and fled. But he was so panicky, he didn’t need to intercept him, he tripped himself up and then twisted to look at . The man who had just been so fearless of death now seed like a totally different person, his expression was extrely distorted.
"What is this thing, keep it away, no..." he said, his spirit collapsed, "Don’t... don’t co near ! No!"
I continued to approach him, and just then, I seed to see a faint outline in the air, that of a young girl. I stopped moving, and the unseen girl nodded at , then picked up the silver dal I was holding with one hand and walked towards Lu Youxun in my stead.
To soone else, it might have seed that the silver dal was flying towards Lu Youxun by itself. And Lu Youxun seed to vaguely see that invisible girl, his face a mix of confusion and fear, becoming utterly chaotic.
"Who are you?"
That was his last sentence.
The silhouette placed the silver dal on him without a word, then vanished, as if it had never appeared from the start. He then let out a death rattle-like scream and completely passed out.
Lu Youxun, ntally dead.
And thus, I fulfilled young girl Lu Chan’s wish.
Dr. Silver Mask, Chen Long, Divine Spear, Lu Youxun, as well as Dream Chen Long and the young girl Lu Chan... One after another, figures surfaced in my mind, then vanished like bubbles, leaving behind a feeling of ennui as if the celebration had ended.
I must seriously think about the future, where I should head next. As Lu Youxun said, Luo Mountain may no longer have a place for , and it wouldn’t be good to continue staying in Saltwater City either.
Although I indeed killed Divine Spear, if I killed all the witnesses, I should still be able to buy so more ti. If it’s just to escape the threat of Impermanence, maybe it wouldn’t be just fleeing Saltwater City, I could also flee overseas. The world is vast, there is nowhere I can’t go; it might even be an option to flee to the Arctic. That place seems to be closely related to the divine seal, worth investigating deeper.
But...
Run away? ?
I held Mazao and turned around, facing the two demon hunters who were terrified.
"You two."
Both were showing a resigned despondency, seemingly thinking that I was finally going to kill them. But that wasn’t my intention. I dissolved the giant Fla Palm that bound them, and they fell to the ground unprepared and awkwardly.
"I won’t kill you, I have other tasks for you. Take Lu Youxun... take Lu Chan back, and spread the word about what happened here. Let everyone know, especially the man behind your scenes, that I am the one who killed Divine Spear," I said, "And finally, pass on a ssage for to your boss, to that unknown Impermanence—
"I, Zhuang Cheng, will co for you."
