Free Web NovelChapter 89: Chapter 87: Instant Kill on Sight, No Words Wasted
"No, don’t..."
The man in the black robe was terrified, tears streaming down his face. He propped himself up with his hands and scrambled backward.
SQUELCH!
A grin on her face, the cat-headed monster lunged forward, flashing past the black-robed man in an instant.
The black-robed man immediately let out a shrill, piercing scream and began thrashing wildly on the ground.
One of his arms had been torn clean off, a bloody mess.
The cat-faced monster greedily sniffed the limb, saying ecstatically, "Mommy said food should be eaten fresh. It’s not as tasty when it’s dead."
She took a bite and said, muffled, "Mommy is always right. She also said you have to be particular when you eat. You can’t swallow it all in one gulp; you have to chew slowly and savor it..."
But just then...
Her two furry little ears suddenly perked up as if she had sensed something. She abruptly raised her head and looked forward.
’More prey has arrived.’
The cat-faced monster’s golden eyes glinted. "Mommy said that when you’re hunting, if you see other prey, you might as well take care of it all at once!"
She looked back at the black-robed man and chuckled. "Don’t you run now. If you run, Lingling will be unhappy. And when Lingling is unhappy, she’ll torture you horribly."
WHOOSH!
She tossed the gory arm aside and shot off in the direction of the sound, her speed simply incredible.
...
At that very moment.
On the mountain path.
Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed. Standing atop the carriage, he gazed into the dense forest in the distance.
"Faster! Something doesn’t feel right."
"Yes, Master Chen!"
The servant driving the carriage, Wuu San, responded and cracked the whip, urging the horses on faster.
But as they sped along, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly let out a terrified neigh. With a loud whinny, it came to an abrupt halt, rearing up on its hind legs and nearly flipping the carriage.
Fortunately, Wuu San managed to steady the carriage just in time, preventing it from overturning.
Wuu San’s face paled as he stared straight ahead.
There, on a large rock just ahead of them, stood a bizarre monster. It wore the clothes of a human woman but had the furry head of a cat. A pair of golden eyes stared in their direction, a strange, eerie smile on its face.
"A demon!"
Wuu San cried out in alarm.
"Hee hee..."
The cat-faced monster let out a low laugh, licked its lips, and chuckled. "Hello there... Where are you two going? Could you give me a ride? I’m lost and can’t find my family..."
Suddenly, her pupils constricted. She saw Chen Xuan on the carriage gently raising a single finger.
’What’s he doing?’
’Not good!’
’Danger!’
The hair on her body stood on end. She tried to dodge, but she was too slow.
BOOM!
AARGH!
A brilliant blast of Gang Energy, almost like a bolt of lightning, pierced through her body on the spot. She let out an incredibly shrill feline screech as blood sprayed, bones shattered, and her body flew back as if struck by a colossal hammer.
The cat-faced monster looked horrified and immediately turned to flee.
’It didn’t die?’
Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed. With a flicker, his body vanished.
He activated Three Thousand Thundering Movements!
As if teleporting, he appeared behind her.
A large, terrifyingly hot hand slammed down on the back of her head. The hand carried an ungodly amount of force, making the cat-faced monster’s hair stand on end in sheer terror. It let out a desperate, piercing shriek, but it was useless. With a BOOM, her head was grabbed and her entire body was driven violently into the ground.
The ground shook violently.
Sand and stones flew, and leaves danced in the air.
The Cat Demon’s eyes rolled back in her head. Her body convulsed, and blood began pouring from her seven orifices... Chen Xuan’s strike had all but shattered her entire skull.
[You have grievously wounded a man-eating Cat Demon. +6000 retribution points!]
"That’s it?"
Chen Xuan frowned, pulling the creature’s body out of the ground and giving it a light shake.
’Nothing special about it.’
’Just like a human.’
’This can’t be the demon that’s been active around South-Town, can it?’
’It’s far too weak.’
’Roughly equivalent to the Gang Energy First Layer.’
"I’ll take it back for a thorough interrogation!"
Chen Xuan tossed the creature’s body into the carriage, then looked up towards the forest ahead. "Let’s go check that forest!"
"Yes, Master Chen!"
Wuu San replied, his voice trembling.
They traveled forward a bit more.
Soon, they smelled the thick scent of blood.
Before long, they came upon the mangled, bloody corpse of a horse on the ground.
And the black-robed man, missing an arm, covered in blood, his face ashen, lying there quietly waiting to die.
"..."
Chen Xuan’s gaze swept over him in silence. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Friend, quickly... go to the Twelve Alliances... report... report this..."
The black-robed man’s lips trembled as he spoke in terror the moment he saw Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said nothing. He simply took out the Token from his waist and dangled it in front of the man.
The black-robed man’s eyes widened. His breathing became ragged, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood, nearly choking.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
"Ex... External... Affairs Envoy..."
the black-robed man said, horrified.
’The new External Affairs Envoy?’
