Free Web NovelChapter 701: Chapter 618: Stepping into Unity
The Leopard Demon’s eyes showed a look of horror. Feeling the astonishing explosive force from the palm on his back, he felt as if struck by lightning. His body was sent flying high into the air, then crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
His body and mind shuddered; he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and stared in shock at that ghost-like figure, unable to believe it as he said, "How is this possible? With so many demons, how did you kill them all in an instant?"
He had already made preparations, planning to turn around and run the moment these demons held Qin An up. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
But he truly had never expected that these demons wouldn’t even be able to make Qin An pause for a moment.
In just that instant, they were turned into headless corpses strewn all over the ground.
And Qin An’s blade had been held in his hand from start to finish, as if it had never even been swung.
Qin An walked slowly up to the Leopard Demon and said indifferently, "I already told you, you want to scheme against me, but no matter what, you have to first know how to have the ability to scheme. Right now you don’t have that ability. Trying to plot against me with trash like this is just misshapen fruits and rotten dates; you’re not even qualified to stand before me!"
As these words fell, a chill flowed ceaselessly over the Leopard Demon’s body.
He struggled to get up, but a foot stepped down on his chest.
At the same time, he heard Qin An’s voice. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Do you want to live?"
The Leopard Demon instinctively widened his eyes. "I want to live, I want to live."
Qin An said coolly, "If you want to live, then tell me what scheme you’re involved in."
Before coming here, Qin An had already thought of a question.
If the other side really only wanted to kill him, things wouldn’t be this coincidental.
He just happened to be missing water and fire as the last two Origins, and the other side just happened to send him these two Origins.
All this was a bit too coincidental.
Besides killing him, there had to be some other plot involved here; he just hadn’t discovered it yet.
Hearing this, the Leopard Demon hurriedly said, "I don’t know exactly what secret there is, but I do know one thing: the one who sent me wanted me to give you the water and fire Origins, and to give them to you in a way that wouldn’t arouse the slightest suspicion. Other than that, I really don’t know anything else."
At this point, the Leopard Demon didn’t dare say more. He lowered his head to look at Qin An, his face full of pleading.
"I’ve told you everything I know. I beg you, sir, spare me. I just had a moment of madness; from now on I’ll never dare offend Mr. Qin again."
At this moment, he was afraid—so afraid that his whole body was trembling.
The feeling this man in front of him gave him was like a terrifying fiend god; he couldn’t muster the slightest will to resist.
As for so-called loyalty, in his eyes it was utterly worthless.
If you don’t even have your life, whoever you’re loyal to won’t see it.
So right now the Leopard Demon only wanted to live. As long as he could live, then everything else was negotiable.
Qin An asked again, "There truly isn’t anything else?"
The Leopard Demon nodded again and again. "There really isn’t anything else. Please, sir, spare my life."
Qin An nodded. "Fine. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll spare your life."
Delight appeared on the Leopard Demon’s face, and he was just about to speak again when a flash of cold light swept past his eyes.
He widened his eyes, feeling a sharp pain from his neck, and raised his hand to cover it.
But the blood gushed out through his fingers like it cost nothing, impossible to stem.
The Leopard Demon stared at Qin An in sheer terror. The fear in his eyes faded, replaced by a trace of venomous hatred. "A man who breaks his word is no gentleman! You’ll die, you’ll die a horrible death! Those traitors won’t let you go! I’ll be waiting for you down below, to laugh at you. You’re only living a bit longer than me, that’s all!"
Before he finished speaking, his head rolled from his neck, and blood dyed the ground red.
Qin An shook his head slightly, then began to clean up the battlefield.
Before long, he had cleared the battlefield completely.
He did a quick count. The demons here had given him another twenty Demon Profounds, which for Qin An was a modest but decent harvest.
But compared to these twenty Demon Profounds, the greatest gain should be the information he got from the Leopard Demon.
"These two Origins were deliberately given to me by the other side." Qin An stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "But why would they do something like this? There must be a huge conspiracy behind it."
He had a persistent feeling that what the other side had done would definitely be detrimental to him.
However, after standing there thinking for half a day, Qin An couldn’t come up with any possible disadvantage.
This was Origin Power, and two whole Origins at that. No one could possibly resist this temptation.
After thinking for a moment, Qin An settled on a plan.
Since he had this Origin Power, he wasn’t going to just let it sit.
No matter how big the other side’s scheme was, this stuff was still what he needed most.
And if he missed this village, there’d be no next inn; no one knew when he’d next find Origins.
Thinking this, Qin An stopped brooding over it, picked up his long blade, and headed toward the Evil Extermination Bureau.
...
Little Cang Mountain was a thousand miles from the Evil Extermination Bureau; Qin An spent quite some time on the return trip.
By the time he got back, Li Moyun and the others were still waiting for news from him.
Qin An informed a Golden Dao Marshal, telling him to report to Li Moyun that he had slain those demons, then hurried back to his room himself.
By the time he returned to his room, it was already nighttime.
The dim oil lamp cast eerie shadows, mottling Qin An’s face with patches of light and dark.
"Time to increase my strength." Qin An looked at the Heart Method on the table and thought to himself.
