Chapter 361 - Murdering the Manager (2/2)

The next moment, Lonemoon was brought into the air, in front of the leader. Something lit up around his body, holding him in place. A purple light flashed in the man’s hands. Immediately, a purple blade made of flames appeared. The flames looked like the kind that came out of the lamp earlier on.

“Since you’re the manager, you should accompany your plane in destruction!”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, pointing the blade at Lonemoon.

Holy shit! Lonemoon’s heart stopped. He shouted, “Shen Ying!”

The purple blade made of flames was just about to cut through his body when a hand flashed in front of Lonemoon’s eyes. The hand grabbed onto the blade, causing it to stop in mid-air, just four fingers away from Lonemoon.

There was a long sigh. “Hey, you… He’s not the manager.” Shen Ying, who suddenly appeared in the air next to them, tilted her head. “I am!”

“What…” Before the man could process the fact that he had gotten the wrong person, Shen Ying tightened her grip. There was a clank as the purple blade of flames shattered into pieces in the man’s hands. It disappeared into purple specks of light.

The man stared blankly at his now empty hands. Then, he saw stars. Everything around him was spinning. There was pain all over his body.

Shen Ying picked the man back up by the collar, and swung him at all of his companions, one by one, as if he was a badminton racket.

The entire hall became filled with loud crashes. More than ten of them fell down like dumplings. Some crashed into the floor, some crashed into the walls, some crashed into the pillars. Suddenly, the hall was covered with human art pieces.

Everything took less than 30 seconds. The array became dark once again. The hall vibrated violently, then collapsed completely.

That’s why… it’s so difficult to reason with others!

Shen Ying sighed, then she threw the badminton racket – no! – the person in her hand onto the ground. She helped Lonemoon back down, next to Yi Qing. Then, she tore the cursed talisman that was holding Lonemoon still into pieces.

“So… this is the manager!” The man who had earlier been tossed aside struggled to raise his head. The look he gave Shen Ying was mixed with hatred and resentment, and a tinge of admiration. He laughed mirthlessly. “The manager’s power comes from the plane he or she manages. I’m sure… I brought you out of your own plane. Yet, you are…”

“Oh.” Shen Ying tilted her head, thinking very seriously of a response. “All I can say is – you know nothing about managers?”

Lonemoon pursed his lips. It was not that he knew nothing about managers – he just knew nothing about this cheat. Both Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s skills had been suppressed. Only Shen Ying’s was not!

“I’m not satisfied!” The man’s eyes filled with hatred once again. It was causing his expression to harden by the second. He had a certain crazed determination as he said, “How can all of these lousy planes find managers? How can the Godfiend, that lousy man, have a stable plane to reside in? Why should our resources be taken away from us? Why should we be chased out to the realm beyond realms! I’m indignant! If something must be destroyed… you and your plane should perish!” He used his last breath to shout all of these things at the three of them.

The three of them, however, stared blankly back at him. Before they could process what the man was saying, the purple light in his hand flashed once again. A familiar purple box appeared.

Wasn’t this the box Shen Ying used to store the purple gas?

Lonemoon touched his side and realised that it was gone. When did they take it from them!

His heart sank. “What are you trying to do?”

It was too late. The purple light in the man’s hand flashed once more. The purple gas rushed out of the box and headed straight toward the ground.
