Chapter 756 - Taking Over A Continent - Part 11 (1/2)
A man with long black hair came out of the red mist, wearing an ancient red robe with it. His face was ghastly pale as if he had never come out of his house in his lifetime. The Ancient Alchemist looked around just like the other spirits did before stopping at Tang Shaoyang and nodded his head.
Zara was about to fly toward Yu, but Tang Shaoyang held her back. ”There's no need for you to fight, Zara. He is not a fighter but an alchemist.”
The Angel of Death stopped her track and looked at the long-haired man. ”Are you sure about that? I think he's pretty strong for a non-fighter.” She was suspicious as she could feel the strong aura emanated from the long-haired man.
”I know he's strong, but I don't think he is even a match against Arkanos in combat.” Tang Shaoyang could feel the strong aura, but it was about the same or even weaker than Arkanos. After saying that, he approached the Ancient Alchemist. ”So, do you prefer to fight it out against my angel? Or are you willing to establish a contract with me?” He went straight to the point to establish a contract with Yu.
”Hmmm. You are certainly strong, but I don't know if you deserve my service.” Yu the Ancient Alchemist scanned Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom before making his remark.
”That's unfortunate. If you don't want to establish the contract, I will sacrifice you.” Tang Shaoyang shook his head in pity. ”The reason I want to get stronger is to skip the boring persuasion as if I am desperate enough for someone like you. You are not worth that effort.”
Tang Shaoyang was about to motion Zara to fight Yu the Alchemist, but the latter was alarmed when he heard the sacrifice. ”What do you say? Sacrifice me? Are you going to make the whole Spirit World be your enemy?”
”The whole Spirit World to be my enemy?” Tang Shaoyang did not know what this guy was talking about. 'Did he try to bluff me so I wouldn't sacrifice him?' That was a possibility.
”You don't know? Do you think you will be welcomed in the Spirit World when you sacrifice them to get stronger? Can't you understand such a simple issue?” Yu smirked at Tang Shaoyang. ”You better let me go back, or else there will be no spirit wanting to be your contracted spirit anymore.”
”That's fine by me. That gives me a justification to sacrifice more spirits because no spirit wanted to be my contracted spirit. Do you think I would care about that?” Tang Shaoyang shrugged. ”This is the last chance. Become my contracted spirit, or you will be sacrificed!”
”Also, does it matter whether you want to be contracted spirit or not? I should just beat you and enforce the contract upon you, but I don't like the rebelling spirit like you. Make your choice!” He added.
'Also, how could the spirit know that I have been sacrificing spirit if I don't tell them?' Tang Shaoyang realized that Yu the Ancient Alchemist tried to bluff to save his life.
Yu met with Tang Shaoyang's gaze, and the former realized that the opposite party was serious with his words. 'If I don't agree to be his contracted spirit, he will truly kill me. But, he should at least offer something in order to establish a contract. I want him to provide me with resources for my research.' The Ancient Alchemist had his own thoughts, 'It seems the first remark that leads me to this situation.'
