39 Murderer (2/2)
”Where are you going?”
Fang Yuan bellowed as he gave chase.
How could he let his opponent escape?
Even if he knew the properties of the Resurrection Pill, there was a possibility in this vast world that Song Zhong might encounter a miracle and survive. Fang Yuan would never be at ease unless he saw Song Zhong dead before his eyes.
When would there be a better opportunity?
His opponent's energy was depleted. It was a good opportunity to kill Song Zhong even for someone of his skill level.
There might not be another opportunity if he missed it.
”Whoosh!”
In the deep forest, the two of them ran. No one knew how far they had run.
”This old fool really has a lot of endurance. I wonder if it is the effect of the pill. ”
Fang Yuan saw that the distance between the two of them was not narrowing. He looked around at the surroundings before he shouted, ”Old dog, don't you want to know how your precious son died?”
”What?”
Upon hearing this, Song Zhong stopped running and turned around, his eyes fixed on Fang Yuan. ”What do you know? Speak!”
There was still a distance between Song Zhong and the troops. Even if he was delayed, he would have sufficient time to escape. He was more concerned about the truth and made the decision to stop.
”Who killed that dog...Haha...”
Fang Yuan did not stop. He rushed forward, his hands forming the Eagle Claw and struck at Song Zhong. ”Go and ask your son!”
”You brat!”
Song Zhong's expression turned cold. ”Do you really think I cannot kill you?”
He raised his palms towards the sky. An unyielding power could be felt from his palms.
”Bang!”
The fist and the claw met. Song Zhong's expression changed. ”No…you...”
He stumbled back and looked at his hands, only to see that there were holes in his palms with black blood flowing out.
”You used poison...no, this is the Black Sand Palm...It was you!”
His eyes were bloodshot. He leapt forward, only to crash onto the ground.
”I hate you! I hate you!”
Song Zhong roared as he looked at his palm. He glared at Fang Yuan with a look that could kill.
If he had known that the killer of his son was standing right before him, he would have used all means available to kill Fang Yuan, even if he had to sacrifice his life.
However, he had been plotted against and there was no way he could retaliate.
”You used the Resurrection Pill and used the secret arts many times. Your energy is depleted and you are crippled...After my Black Sand Palm, there is no way you would be able to survive. On this day next year, it will be your death anniversary!”
Fang Yuan's expression was cold. He took out a Yama's Order and consumed it.
Song Zhong was undoubtedly a master of the 3 Perilous Gates. He was struck by the Black Sand Palm and was injured but managed to counter his opponent's attack on his inner power. This caused a portion of the Pearl Tail Snake's poison to backflow, causing harm to Fang Yuan as well.
However, Fang Yuan had the Yama's Order which was able to act as an antidote to the poison.
Song Zhong was not so lucky.
”Please be on your way!”
Fang Yuan stepped forward and looked at Song Zhong who was already unable to speak. His expression turned cold. ”Song Yujie repeatedly send people to cause trouble to me. Do you expect me to die and not retaliate?”
”As for you, you are yet another troublemaker. I cannot let you live for one more day!”
While the Resurrection Pill was able to work miracles, its effects could be nullified. There were a few fabled magical pills that could save Song Zhong's life.
Fang Yuan did not want to create more problems even if it was unlikely.
”Please be on your way. Remember not to trifle with me in your next life!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head, lifted his right hand and brought it down sharply.
”Boom!”
Blood spurted out.
...
Outside the forest, the sound of hurried footsteps could be head.
”Footprints, over there!”
”Song Zhong is just ahead. He is not going anywhere!”
A group of martial artists surrounded the area. At the front of the group was Lin Leiyue and two protectors of the Spirit Returning Sect.
”Leiyue, did that friend of yours chase after Song Zhong alone?”
A protector shook her head, ”Oh dear, that old thief is highly skilled and cunning. Your friend might have already fallen into his hands.”
”Fang Yuan... He would not!”
Miss Qing said from the side. Those who had seen Fang Yuan and Song Zhong clashed would have confidence in him as well.
”Hmmm... Song Zhong possessed a high level of inner force. A person with inner power would not be able to stand up to him. Even if he was avaricious, he would have died...”
Another person chipped in but stopped momentarily when Lin Leiyue looked at him..
”Hmmm? Someone is here!”
The people in front came to a stop when they saw a silhouette walking out of the dense forest.
”Brother Fang!”
Miss Qing was pleasantly surprised. ”Where is that old traitor, Song Zhong?”
”Here!”
Fang Yuan raised his right hand and Song Zhong's severed head appeared. This caused the onlookers to be bewildered and uncertain.
”The old traitor had been served his just dessert?”
The two protectors could not believe their eyes.
