Ch 15: The Unexpected Gift, Twisted My Old Back
Her expression was icy, True Qi flowing in her hand. Her small hand flicked, and a wisp of white Qi Strength flew towards Lu Ming.
*Puchi!*
Lu Ming’s eyes instantly went black, and he fell to the ground. A thumb-sized hole pierced through his forehead.
*Thump!*
Lu Feng was completely stunned, his eyes glazed over in disbelief.
Lu Ming lay on the ground, blood gushing from the hole in his head.
Lu Feng’s heart pounded wildly, a sense of impending death engulfing him. He abruptly turned his head to look behind him.
Nannan’s expression was indifferent, looking at him as if he were already dead.
She flicked her finger again, and another wisp of Qi Strength flew towards Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was terrified: “Don’t kill me!”
The Qi Strength rushed into Lu Feng’s body, and he felt as if a large hand had gripped his heart, ready to burst it at any moment.
“Ahhh!”
Lu Feng’s body convulsed, and he crashed heavily to the ground. His face was flushed red, veins bulging, his eyes bloodshot, and saliva involuntarily drooling from his mouth.
The intense pain made his words very unclear: “Spa…spare me…”
Nannan loosened her small hand.
Lu Feng immediately felt an extreme sense of relief wash over him, causing him to gasp for breath, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Nannan.
Nannan coldly said: “I’ll give you two choices.”
“One: Be my dog.”
“Two: Be King Yama’s dog.”
Lu Feng didn’t want to experience that feeling again, not even for a second time. He knelt down to Nannan without hesitation, not daring to raise his head, and said in a low voice.
“Master.”
As an assassin of the Blood Demon Pavilion, Lu Feng’s hands were covered in blood. Nannan kept him alive because she wanted to learn about the various power intelligence of the Great Liang through Lu Feng.
When the time came for her to run away from home, she would first take over the Blood Demon Pavilion. She wouldn’t refuse a force that was delivered to her door.
“You’re quite sensible. If you dare to betray me, I’ll tear out your heart and feed it to the dogs.”
Lu Feng cowered, never wanting to experience that feeling again in his life: “N…no, I wouldn’t dare.”
Nannan waved her small hand: “Get lost. I’ll find you when I need you. Just do what you’re supposed to do.”
Nannan’s heart was also pounding wildly. It would be bad if Daddy found out. She grabbed Tang Qingyi’s small hand, taking steps of dozens of meters, her small body containing great energy.
Tang Qingyi groggily tried to open her eyes, but suddenly felt a heavy blow to her head and passed out again.
If Lin Tian saw this, he would definitely think Nannan had mutated. What he didn’t know was that Nannan had two souls in one body, and the other soul had an astonishing origin.

【*Ding*, target has died, reward is a ten-draw lottery 】
The sudden sound made Lin Tian a little confused. How did he get a ten-draw lottery out of nowhere? He didn’t care too much. Maybe he was killed by an enemy, which was just what he wanted.
Lin Tian’s side was also basically coming to an end. He was very close, lying on the roof with a large hole in it.
Blood Thirteen was finally exhausted. The aftereffects of consuming the Exploding Essence Powder came quickly.
Blood Thirteen endured the discomfort and looked with difficulty at He Chuntang, who had placed his sword on his neck.
He Chuntang: “Was it worth it? If you had hidden, we really wouldn’t have been able to find you, but why did you walk right into our trap?”
He Chuntang took the sword off Blood Thirteen’s neck.
He was confident that this old fellow had reached the end of his rope. His hands had been chopped off, one of his eyes was blind, and Wang Qing had split his chest with an axe, the wound deep enough to see the bone.
“You old rascal can resist quite well, but Old Wang is still slightly better.”
Wang Qing was very casual, not mentioning at all that they had only won by ganging up on him.
Zhang Ming sheathed the long saber in his hand and stepped forward: “I’m very curious, why did he do this?”
“How else could he do it? He knew we were powerful and couldn’t escape, so he walked right into our trap.”
The others didn’t take Wang Qing’s words seriously. He was able to become a Standard Bearer entirely because of his strength. He didn’t have much of a brain.
Blood Thirteen finally couldn’t hold on and fell to the ground. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the sky with his one remaining eye.
Perhaps knowing that he was about to die, Blood Thirteen recalled his entire life in a short period of time.
He remembered when he first joined the Blood Demon Pavilion and was favored by the old pavilion master. The old pavilion master saw that he had a high talent and raised his treatment to be on par with the young pavilion master.
Once, while performing a mission, his foundation was injured. If the young pavilion master hadn’t saved him, he would have died long ago at the hands of Jade Faced Yama, the Battalion Commander of the Dragon Guards.
From then on, he hated the imperial court. Since then, he had begun to practice evil ways.
There were rumors that drinking the blood of virgins could heal damaged foundations, so he would kill a woman and drink her blood every so often.
He had tried all kinds of folk remedies, but unfortunately, the injury was not healed. Instead, it became more serious, and at the young age of thirty, he was as old as a sixty-year-old man.
“Cough cough… Do you know about the Tang Sect’s Thunderclap Pearl?”
He Chuntang was stunned. He didn’t understand why this old thing was talking about the Tang Sect when he was about to die.
Wang Quan looked disdainful: “Why waste words with him? Just chop him up and be done with it.”
As he spoke, Wang Quan was about to give Blood Thirteen an axe, but Zhang Ming stopped him.
Wang Quan: “Why are you stopping me?”
Zhang Ming: “He can’t die yet. Not only can he not die, but we have to save him.”
“Letting the old fellow die in front of the people of the world is much better than dying here. This will maximize the blow to the Blood Demon Pavilion and awaken other Jianghu forces.”
He Chuntang looked at the dying Blood Thirteen: “Thunderclap Pearl?”
Blood Thirteen’s tone was unhurried: “Hehehe~ Before I came, I ate twenty-some of them.”
He suddenly raised his head, his only remaining eye staring intently at He Chuntang.
“Die for me!”
He shouted with all his strength.
He Chuntang was stunned. Thunderclap Pearl? Twenty-some of them? His pupils shrank violently, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
“Not good! Run away! This old fellow wants to die with us!”
No sooner said than done, Blood Thirteen’s abdomen suddenly swelled like a pregnant woman in her tenth month.
*Bang!*
A violent explosion swept the entire area, flames soared into the sky, and bricks and stones flew everywhere.
Lin Tian cried out in surprise as the shock wave turned into a gale that rushed at his face.
He couldn’t believe the scene before him. Did the Thunderclap Pearl have such power? No way, it was comparable to a cannonball.
A black shadow flew towards Lin Tian at high speed. Lin Tian didn’t notice, and it was too late when he saw it.
*Bang!*
Lin Tian cried “Ouch!” and crashed to the ground. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and the black shadow pressed down on him. Lin Tian only felt that the black shadow was incredibly soft and glutinous.
“What is this?”
Lin Tian got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and then began to size up the culprit who had knocked him down. He sized up this black shadow.
Wasn’t this Fang Qingxue, that someone from the Dragon Guards? What a pity, such a beautiful woman was ruined.
Only half of Fang Qingxue’s face was severely burned.
Most of her clothes were burned away, and large patches of her snow-white skin were exposed, with a few blisters and redness on her delicate and smooth skin.
Seeing this, Lin Tian knew that this place was not suitable to stay for long, and quickly left. He had only run a few steps before he stopped.
He looked again at Fang Qingxue lying on the ground. By the time someone found her, this woman would probably be dead. Never mind, he should save her first.
This night was destined not to be peaceful, and the loud noise echoed throughout the county town, lighting up every household.
