Chapter 439: Chapter 251: Rushing Through the Small Woods
Beside the official road in the forest, Lin Huaigou hurriedly ran without daring to look back.
He hadn’t been this embarrassed in many years, even last time when he had encountered the Demon Young Master and had taught him a lesson, due to his cautious nature, he had dodged the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon Palace and elegantly escaped to Northern Zhou.
However, Lin Huaigou had not anticipated that he would avoid the pursuit of an expert in the True Pill Realm of the Heavenly Demon Palace but would stumble in what seemed an easy task of ambushing Jiang Beichuan.
That Gong Ziyu was simply a monster!
The kind of person who treated a late-stage Divine Origin Warrior as nothing and easily took their head, Lin Huaigou had seen only once before during the fleeting appearance of the Supreme Daoist five years ago.
At that time, it was Zhang Yangping from Dragon Tiger Mountain, ranked eighth on the human list, who refused to accept the Supreme Daoist, ranked first, and publicly challenged him.
Then, Lin Huaigou witnessed what being overwhelmingly defeated meant, and what it’s like when the same Divine Origin Realm held vastly different strengths.
And now, Lin Huaigou had encountered such a monster again.
Escape, desperately escape!
Lin Huaigou mobilized his True Qi, forcibly suppressed the harmful Qi Force circulating in his body, and then as if the wind were in his feet, he exerted all his old bones’ strength to rush desperately.
Even though Lin Huaigou had escaped early, he still felt no sense of security.
After all, such a monster could not be considered through normal reasoning.
"......."
Suddenly, the air fell silent.
The wind ceased to flow, and no sounds of insects or birds could be heard in the air.
A gray hue swept toward him from the front, and Lin Huaigou only saw the surrounding green forest enveloped by this sudden grayness, his desperately rushing steps feeling like invisible hands were restraining him, becoming increasingly slow.
A leaf fell before Lin Huaigou’s eyes, suddenly pausing in mid-air.
In just the blink of an eye, the colors of the world had drained away.
"What... what’s happening?" Lin Huaigou was shocked to find that even his voice was dry and difficult to articulate.
"They say even a rotting ship has three thousand nails; you, old bones, also have some tricks up your sleeves, eh, being able to speak under my ’Heaven and Earth Losing Color.’"
Lin Huaigou saw only a gray shadow slowly moving toward him; in this color-drained world, Lin Huaigou could not see the figure clearly, but his intuition told him it was Gong Ziyu.
"You... are Gong Ziyu, how... could you... be so fast?" Lin Huaigou struggled to utter these words.
He clearly had used all his strength to flee for his life, but the result was that the other party had come from ahead of him.
Desperation, a thick desperation stained his heart, but Lin Huaigou had not yet abandoned his last bit of hope.
"Spare... me, I can... serve you..."
Feeling the vitality gradually drain from his body, Lin Huaigou spoke these words with his last hope.
However, his hopeful words obviously couldn’t move Qing Yu.
A joke, to trust someone who, after allying with Feng Chaonan, had immediately secretly contacted people from the side of Feng Qiwu, who would use such a double-faced character?
Not even bothering to brainwash him, Lin Huaigou was, after all, in the late-stage Divine Origin, trying to brainwash him was troublesome and the success rate was low, completely not worth it.
"Your death is the greatest help to me."
Silently shaking his head, Qing Yu increased the output of his True Qi, taking away all of Lin Huaigou’s vitality.
Although the effect of ’Heaven and Earth Losing Color’ was to slowly drain the vitality of living things within its range, if True Qi infusion was increased, it could also accelerate this process of death.
"No..."
The deceased let out a final scream, losing the last bit of vitality.
As the dead man perished, the gloomy colors blanketing the surroundings receded like the tide, along with Qing Yu’s applied "Ten Thousand Rivers and Seas" and "Heart Like Still Water" mental methods.
"Bang—"
Lin Huaigou’s body fell to the ground, landing on yellowed leaves that had their vitality stripped by "Heaven and Earth Losing Color."
His face was contorted in death, a stark contrast to the sage-like demeanor he usually contrived. In the face of death, few can remain calm.
It is said that it’s easy to die with bravery, but difficult to face death with composure.
Perhaps in the heat of passion, many claim they are unafraid of death, but once calmness returns, fear might just drown their resolve.
Especially with a death method like Lin Huaigou’s, where "Heaven and Earth Losing Color" slowly sapped away vitality—the taste of awaiting death is truly unbearable for most.
"Bang—"
Qing Yu tossed Lin Huaigou’s corpse in front of Gu Liren, "This corpse should suffice to explain things to Jiang Beichuan’s former subordinates. As for the court, let him handle it for you."
This "him" naturally referred to Feng Jiu.
"Thank you, Dragon Chief!" Gu Liren knelt again.
"This is what you deserve."
Saying so, Qing Yu glanced at Jiang Beichuan, whose flesh was mutilated by Lin Huaigou’s fishing line, "Lin Huaigou indeed did us a big favor. Jiang Beichuan’s body is covered with marks from Lin Huaigou’s unique weapons, sparing us some preparations.
However, it’s a pity for Jiang Beichuan, if he hadn’t been utterly loyal to Feng Tianming, he wouldn’t have met such an end."
"Why bother putting on such an act after all is done?" Yun Wuyue, having treated his wounds, stepped forward.
"To sigh for the fallen is a privilege of the victors, why shouldn’t I indulge?" Qing Yu replied with a smile.
"Then continue your sighs," Yun Wuyue said indifferently.
"But who is that ’him’? Your new collaborator?"
"Want to know who he is?" Qing Yu smiled, "That depends on your performance. If you can truly consider yourself as the Two Dragon Heads of the Azure Dragon Association, then perhaps you can join the upcoming plans."
’Anyway, things are nearly concluded, even if you knew and wanted to backstab, it wouldn’t affect the big picture.’ This phrase, Qing Yu kept to himself.
"Don’t forget, the intelligence network of Yin Demon Sect isn’t unmatched in the world, but still rare, and there’s not much that can escape me."
"Let’s wait and see then."
Qing Yu smiled lightly, "Just don’t forget your next task."
"Needless to say."
Having witnessed Qing Yu’s facile battle, Yun Wuyue dared not underestimate him anymore.
To obliterate Hattori Heiji in a matter of few moves, to easily catch up to Lin Huaigou who had a head start, and to soon bring back his body in such a short time—Yun Wuyue felt utterly incapable of underestimating such power.
A genius whose achievements will surely not be inferior to his own master, Yun Wuyue thought that with his help, great things could be accomplished.
At least, the annoying Demon Young Master’s end should not be far off.
Yun Wuyue slightly closed his eyes, his gaze filled with icy murderous intent.
The Demon Young Master’s pestering had already tired this favored disciple of Yin Tianxia.
