281 Mad Star Ethereal (1/2)
”Grug!” Trueblack Ancient's vision almost blacked out as he spat a mouthful of blood, kneeling on the ground in all fours. Even breathing was hard for him now, as the last attack damaged his vital organs severely.
Jin Rou was serious in taking the ancient's life. However, he was taking his time. It looked like he wanted the ancient to suffer first before dying, leaving an unbearable humiliation the ancient would take until his next life, if there was.
”Kill me if you dare!” After a few moments of trying to catch his breath, Trueblack could finally speak and said those daring words.
This unexpected and calamity-inducing variable named Jin Rou had ruined all his plans. And worse, he was in this situation where he didn't know if he would survive or not. If Jin Rou hadn't joined the fray, he would already have killed Owner Bu and took the world treasure.
”Of course, I will.” Jin Rou answered with a smile on his face, ”But you need to suffer first before dying. Isn't it too early for you to die?”
”!” What Jin Rou said made Trueblack tremble in fear. He didn't know but he could feel the killing intent creeping in his skin. He tried to remember all the memories hidden within his mind to recognize if he met this young man in the past. But no matter how many times he rack his brain, he couldn't truly remember.
In actuality, Jin Rou had no grudge against this ancient. After all, how could they meet when this was his first time here in Starlight? But when he saw the inner heart of the latter, he couldn't help but be enraged.
”I can sense the devil qi in you. Thus, I knew you and your constellation have something to do with the Devils.” Jin Rou coldly said, ”Isn't it enough for you to suffer a fate worse than death?”
”!!” This time, Trueblack paled and revealed a horrified expression. Jin Rou had already answered the question in his mind. And the answer was quite unexpected that it shook him to the core. He wanted to deny this notion but the words were stuck in his throat for some unknown reason.
How was that possible that this young man find it out? Trueblack was so sure that he had hidden this secret well as it would spell a total destruction against their constellation.
This secret was the last thing the world should know. After all, if they reveal this secret to just anyone, the wind would surely carry it out in all four corners of Starlight and be the main topic and target of disdain and humiliation.
”Time to suffer.” Jin Rou was getting bored now of this little charade and wanted to begin the torture.
Trueblack's face was drained with blood. He gritted his teeth and wanted to fight back but he knew it would be useless. Thus, he closed his eyes and readied himself of this incoming fate. Maybe this was his retribution for all the things he had done in the past up to this date.
