Chapter 59: When That Little Girl Begged You Back Then, Did You Spare Her?
Hearing Residual Killing Intent’s words, Zhao Yan rubbed his brow.
“You think you have the blood of her kin on you, so what do you think he will do?”
“Have you heard the saying that villains die from talking too much?”
Upon hearing this, Residual Killing Intent abruptly lowered his head to examine his body covered in viscous blood, his complexion changing drastically.
At this moment, he finally realized that the young man before him had already set a trap for him!
Disguised as a powerful explosive spirit item, but in reality, it was Qingyun Elephant’s essence blood, an escape meticulously planned along the road…
Facing Zhao Yan’s calm expression, Residual Killing Intent couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Was this truly the work of a teenager?
Zhao Yan watched Residual Killing Intent’s complexion change drastically, but he merely smiled faintly.
In fact, the moment he drew the Qingyun Elephant’s essence blood, he had already formed some ideas.
This made the news of the Qingyun Elephant’s offspring being killed, which seemed insignificant at the time, now play an unexpected role.
Residual Killing Intent was right; Zhao Yan had indeed set a trap for him!
Roar!
In the forest filled with violent spiritual energy, the Qingyun Elephant’s eyes were red, staring intently at Residual Killing Intent, who was covered in blood not far away.
Its great maw was filled with roars of slaughter and hatred.
On that human, it smelled the scent of its kin’s blood.
Could it be my child? This detestable human, I will tear him to shreds!
Although the intelligence of high-level ferocious beasts was higher than that of low-level ones, it was still incomparable to humans. The enraged Qingyun Elephant only wanted to tear Residual Killing Intent before it to shreds.
“Bastard!”
Residual Killing Intent was locked onto by the Qingyun Elephant’s gaze, a chill emanating from his entire body. He could clearly feel the Qingyun Elephant’s powerful spiritual power fluctuation; it was probably only one step away from being a fifth-rank ferocious beast!
Thinking of this, he cast a resentful glance at Zhao Yan. He was inherently lustful and had only sought a moment of pleasure amidst the pressure of being pursued.
A momentary desire had plunged him into such a desperate situation.
“This little bastard, if I ever catch you, I’ll make you wish you were dead!” Residual Killing Intent roared maliciously in his heart.
Roar!
The Qingyun Elephant didn’t give Residual Killing Intent any more chances to think. With a roar, its powerful body crouched slightly, and then it shot out towards Residual Killing Intent like a bolt of green light.
“Black Gale Kill!”
Residual Killing Intent was no ordinary opponent either. With a low shout, his spiritual power surged out, condensing into a giant black fist in front of him, which he then punched towards the Qingyun Elephant.
Boom!
The two figures collided fiercely, and a dull thud echoed, with violent spiritual energy scattering outwards, snapping all the surrounding trees.
Bang.
As the spiritual energy shockwave dispersed, Residual Killing Intent was sent flying back in an embarrassed manner.
He let out a pained scream from his mouth, then smashed heavily onto the ground. His left arm was covered in blood and hung limply.
In just the first clash, Residual Killing Intent lost an arm.
“Kid!”
Residual Killing Intent roared in anger, but when he looked at the spot where Zhao Yan had originally stood, he found that the latter had already vanished without a trace.
“Boom!”
The Qingyun Elephant didn’t care about Residual Killing Intent’s thoughts. Its beast pupils stared coldly at Residual Killing Intent, without any hesitation, its agile body once again lunged forward.
As green light flickered, an aura of death permeated the air.
Seeing this, Residual Killing Intent hastily rolled and dodged in an embarrassed manner.
But he was still a step too slow; the Qingyun Elephant’s side grazed his body.
*Splat.*
After being swept by the Qingyun Elephant, Residual Killing Intent immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and several bloody holes appeared on his chest. At this moment, he was once again on the edge of death.
The Qingyun Elephant’s speed was not fast among ferocious beasts, but for an ordinary Myriad Appearances Realm Spirit Martial Artist, it was like lightning, and he couldn’t dodge it at all!
“Damn beast!”
Residual Killing Intent cursed inwardly. He knew he couldn’t delay any longer, or he would surely die here.
Fierce intent flashed in his eyes, and he sprang backwards, then spat out a mouthful of essence blood, instantly causing a surge of violent spiritual power to erupt from his body.
Residual Killing Intent’s previously weak aura surged at this moment, and his speed also suddenly increased, turning into a blurry shadow as he fled desperately in another direction.
It seemed he was truly at his wit’s end. He was sacrificing his potential and damaging his meridians to maximize his speed.
Roar!
Facing the fleeing Residual Killing Intent, the Qingyun Elephant also roared, relentlessly giving chase.
Finally, after Residual Killing Intent spat out seven mouthfuls of blood and his head felt dizzy, the Qingyun Elephant finally slowed down, stopped, let out a roar, and leisurely turned to leave.
Seeing that the Qingyun Elephant had given up, Residual Killing Intent breathed a sigh of relief and rolled into a patch of grass nearby.
After rolling into the grass, Residual Killing Intent seemed to collapse, his internal spiritual power almost completely depleted.
He panted heavily, then looked down at his numerous injuries, feeling like crying but having no tears.
Who would have thought that to pursue a mere Spirit Attachment Realm brat, he would end up so embarrassed.
Thinking of Zhao Yan and Leng Ruoyao pressed closely together made him grit his teeth; they were truly a pair.
Damn it, they had both put him in such a painful situation.
However.
“Heh heh, no matter what, I survived. Little bastard, I won’t let you go!”
Residual Killing Intent gritted his teeth, his voice filled with malice.
*Whoosh!*
Just as his voice fell, the hair on his body stood on end. Years of near-death experiences made his head suddenly tilt.
A cold light shot out from the forest behind him and grazed his head, the sharp cold light carving a deep blood mark on his face.
It was a sharp, pitch-black longsword.
“Who, come out!”
This sudden attack made Residual Killing Intent’s scalp tingle.
“The person you most want to see!”
In front of Residual Killing Intent, a clear laugh rang out. The slender figure, the eerie and charming mysterious rune on his forehead, made Residual Killing Intent recognize him at a glance.
“It’s you!”
“How dare you still come.”
Seeing Zhao Yan slowly approaching, Residual Killing Intent sternly and fearfully scolded him.
“Ah, my arm.”
Suddenly, Residual Killing Intent’s screams rang out.
As Zhao Yan took out a spirit sword from his storage ring and swung it, a severed arm fell to the ground.
“Grandfather, I beg you, please let me go, I’ll do anything.”
*Thump thump!*
After his arm was cut off by the young man’s sword, Residual Killing Intent’s arrogant demeanor vanished without a trace.
He began to weep profusely, then knelt directly before Zhao Yan and started kowtowing violently.
In just a few seconds, Residual Killing Intent’s head was bleeding, but he didn’t dare to stop, his face full of pleading, begging Zhao Yan to let him go.
“Let you go?”
“When that ten-year-old girl begged you to let her go back then, did you let her go?”
The young man’s eyes were filled with coldness.
As soon as his voice fell, he drew his sword again.
“My second brother!”
Residual Killing Intent roared in pain, his crotch covered in blood.
After watching Residual Killing Intent writhe on the ground, screaming in pain until his throat went hoarse and he could no longer make any sound.
*Bang!*
Zhao Yan grabbed his head with one palm, slowly lifting him, as dark and violent spiritual energy gathered in his palm.
Residual Killing Intent’s body immediately twitched until blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he closed his eyes stiffly.
“Ding, congratulations to the host’s older brother for perfectly completing the first task.”
“Issuing rewards!”
“Congratulations, older brother, for obtaining ten low-level lottery tickets, four intermediate-level lottery tickets, two advanced-level lottery tickets, and one top-tier lottery ticket!”
