20 Regre (1/2)

*Woosh*

”Is it done?” A high pitched voice came behind Elder Kong. It was extremely high pitched to the point of sounding like a shriek.

”Yes, I used the Dragon Root Poison on him. Even cultivators of 5th Nascent stage can't survive that. He is as good as dead.” Elder Kong said severe manner. Even though his tone was unpleasantly rough, he had a slight hint of nervousness and fear in his heart. It seemed like he was scared by the person behind the voice.

”Hmm, Dragon Root Poison you say.Hehehe” The voice replied creepily after hearing what Elder Kong mentioned.

Elder Kong slowly turned around towards the source of the voice.

It was precisely the Imp that Zhu Long had detected when he got close to the Fortress. The Imp was short and thin. It's skin was blood red and it's tail was as long as it's body. The Imp also had two horns but one of them seemed to be broken. It also had many scars on its body. It's Wings were large but also many holes within them.

It seemed like the Imp had gone through tortuous and bloody battles in its life as it also had a very evil and bloody aura around it.

When Elder Kong saw the Imp, he shuddered in fear. The Imp was more powerful than him and could kill his easily. He nervously looked at the Imp and said,” I did what you told me to. That is the last human I will kill. Now please let them live, they have nothing to do with you. Please!”

As soon as the Imp heard Elder Kong plead, he smiled and responded,” Hehehe. You have done good, this individual would be a hassle for our young master in the future. Don't worry, your people are safe. But, I don't think that this will be the last human you'll be killing. Your Master is still in our hands. Hehehe”

The Imps' laughter were eerie and extremely creepy and sent shivers to anyone that heard it.

Elder Kong's smile broke, he looked lost like his soul has left his body. He had never felt so lost in his life. There was too much blood on his hands already, and to think he'll be adding more to his list. It was all because of this Imp and his Young Master.

'I....I only have one hope now. Life is really cruel.' Elder Kong smiled bitterly.

”Hmm? Why are you smiling? Is there anything that you find humorous?” The Imp inquired finding Elder Kong's smile strange and meaningful. It was like something didn't make sense then suddenly a thought popped into him mind but it was too late. Elder Kong had already made his move.

The Imp was in complete shock in what had beholden before him.

”You..You are burning your meridians! But that sudden burst of power is no match for me.” The Imp yelled as he jumped towards Elder Kong.
