Chapter 109: Explosion (1/2)
Even though he was the number one killer, being tricked numerous times would anger anyone. The dagger in his hand now started to develop a bloody red glow that was two meters long, andhis eyes had turned bloody red as well. He violently swung a hand, the two thick and solid trees that blocked his way were cut into halves, accompanied by a very loud yell like that of a beast. With a murderous spirit, he charged at Ye Wuchen, his hand brandished the the sword, its red energy emitted with a tinging sound. He cut two huge trees as if they were soft tofu then launched them at Ye Wuchen’s, yet Ye Wuchen, who was miles away from him by the time, waved a hand as he escaped.
Tao BaiBai’s clothes which had been tattered due to the explosion now had a few more holes soaked with blood. Blood was also gradually oozing out from his feet, but under the extreme fury he did not care about the wounds on his body and feet. Fully utilizing his powers, he continue on, but without allocating additional concentration of his internal powers to control the wound on his feet, the would wounds surely open during his run, and the pain would affect his speed; Ye Wuchen had somehow lost some of his powers as his speed had gradually decreased, and so the distance between them had not increased by much.
They went closer and closer to the Devil’s Trap Pagoda. Ye Wuchen had deliberately proceeded in that direction, because that direction had the last two hidden trumps that was left to Ye Wuchen to deal with Tao BaiBai.
Even the strongest flames of fury could not be maintain for very long. The two white figures gave rise to powerful hurling winds in the dark forest. Tao BaiBai’s fury was beginning to dissipate as he finally calmed down somewhat. He vaguely saw Ye Wuchen turning in the distance and showing a weird smile on his face. He could not help dashing forward faster, and the soles of his feet deteriorated further.
Having learned his lesson, Tao BaiBai would not be fooled again, and he did not dare to more risks. He gathered all his powers from the rest of his body to the bottom of his feet. Under the protection of his powers, even the sharpest of swords could no longer hurt his feet.
Plop.
Tao BaiBai’s had stepped into something thick and sticky, the denseness of the half-solid material carried a stink that scattered all over, as well as splattering onto Tao BaiBai’s body. Due to the soaring stink and the momentary reappearance of extreme anger at the humiliation unexpectedly made the number one killer’s mind go blank.
The buckets of manure Leng Ya had carried while holding back tears were finally put to good use.
“Aiya, the sweet smelling Tao BaiBai, as it turns out, actually has this kind of indulgence. I think you must not be called Tao BaiBai anymore, the name is not very striking, only a few of my servants knew about it. Better to be called Tao DaFen. I guarantee that when everybody hears your name they will cry out an ear-splitting sound.”
The words of humiliation from Ye Wuchen hit him like throwing stones. Supporting himself on a tree, Ye Wuchen beamed at Tao BaiBai jumping out of the big hole, body covered in yellowish goop.
When a person was at his peak of anger, he did not show the anger, on the contrary, a calmness congested with murderous intentions. Tao BaiBai’s eyes flashed red like fresh blood and his face was awfully sinister. Within his murderous spirit, he did not have the same outburst as before, and now had a very bone-chilling coldness. Facing Ye Wuchen, he did not launch any cruel attacks, but just stared like a viper, remembering every distinctive feature of every corner of the body before him.
The smile on Ye Wuchen’s face completely disappeared and turned into a full gloomy face, “Whoever wants to be Ye Wuchen’s enemy, should have had this realization. If you wish to take my life, even if you are the number one killer, I will make you realize regret… Well, are you feeling it now, Sweet smelling Tao BaiBai?”
“I regret…” Tao BaiBai said plainly, his voice extremely terrified, like a mummy that had been eroded for so many years suddenly started to open his mouth. He indeed regretted it, regretted that he had taken this mission. He had not known that Ye Wuchen had predicted his arrival and planned these while waiting for him.
“So, you shall die!”
Ye Wuchen shrugged, stuck out a finger and said, “If you still have the guts, then follow me.”
Ye Wuchen turned and disappeared like a smoke.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tao BaiBai followed. If he was clever, he would have backed down for the time being, because danger lurked every corner of this Black Forest. But to turn around and escape after suffering from numerous shames and humiliations, he would lose his reputation as the number one killer. Moreover, how could he not have seen Ye Wuchen’s much weaker endurance. He could make him exhaust all his powers in just a matter of time, no matter how many traps were to follow were not considered a real threat. Even a Heaven-Shaking Mine had not damaged him fatally.
The minor wounds on Tao BaiBai’s feet had slowed him down, but the distance between the two of them was not too great. One in front and the other at the back; the distance between them was around thirty meters. If Tao BaiBai exhibited his ultimate move “Dong Dong Bo”, the distance would be equivalent to nothing, but he was not willing to do it.
For Ye Wuchen, thirty meters was clearly not enough, he needed at least a hundred meters. His face maintained a grave expression, quietly calculating the distance he had covered in bringing Tao BaiBai towards the deepest part of the Black Forest—to the Devil’s Trap Pagoda.
At this time, Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue had already reached the Black Forest, the terrible air about this forest did not affect their decision of entering, and they proceed eastward without hesitation.
Six miles… Seven miles…Eight miles…
Around eight miles deep into the Black Forest, Ye Wuchen gritted his teeth and wildly rushed forth, forcibly accelerating to increase the distance between them little by little.
