Chapter 490 Kill Without Mercy!

“Aow…”

The boy flew backward like a football, letting out a miserable and hoarse scream that sounded nothing like a child’s voice.

The other boy who had been chasing from behind, after being stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, opening his mouth to reveal two rows of sharp teeth.

At the same time, his entire face became distorted, his mouth widened, his nose sank inward leaving only two nostrils, and his eyes turned into four, emitting terrifying red light.

His skin changed from normal yellow to black, sinking inward and appearing extremely tight, while his hands transformed into beast-like sharp claws.

The boy from earlier had completely transformed into a monster! A strange mark appeared on his forehead!

“Ah…”

Zhao Zinan was frightened, her delicate body trembling as she screamed and hid behind Fang Yu.

“Die…”

The monster charged toward Fang Yu, raising its two sharp claws in front, emitting streaks of black energy as it clawed at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu raised his foot again.

“Bang!”

With another muffled sound, the monster was sent flying backward.

The two monsters lay on the ground about fifty meters away from Fang Yu, motionless.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at them.

After a while, the bodies of the two monsters began to dissipate like evaporation, slowly dispersing into wisps of black smoke that vanished into the air.

What were these things? Immortal Clan beings?

Fang Yu frowned, puzzled.

These two monsters, judging from their appearance, did indeed resemble beings from the Immortal Clan, but they lacked the distinctive aura of the Immortal Clan.

At the same time, compared to Immortal Clan beings, their endurance was much lower.

The two kicks Fang Yu had delivered earlier weren’t particularly forceful, yet these two monsters had fallen and remained motionless, proving them to be extremely fragile.

Fang Yu recalled the monster’s face.

There was a mark on its forehead that looked like a terrifying ghost face.

Ghost face mark…

A flash of insight struck Fang Yu’s mind as he suddenly remembered an evil cultivation sect that had been active more than three thousand years ago.

The Demon Cult!

This evil cultivation sect had a very distinctive feature – every disciple had a thumb-sized ghost face mark on their forehead.

However, the Demon Cult had been eradicated by the Righteous Alliance more than three thousand years ago.

In the three thousand years since then, at least as far as Fang Yu knew, there had been no news or sightings related to the Demon Cult.

But today, why had people from the Demon Cult appeared?

Could it be… that the Demon Cult had used the same method as the Purple Flame Palace to avoid complete annihilation?

Fang Yu frowned deeply, pondering.

There was another point – those two monsters had clearly been going after Zhao Zinan initially, not Fang Yu.

This was very strange.

Did they also know about Zhao Zinan’s peculiar constitution?

Fang Yu turned to look at Zhao Zinan, who was pale with fright, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This girl had created too many puzzles for him today.

It seemed he would need to spend some time to figure everything out.

“Fang Yu, what were those two… just now?” Zhao Zinan asked.

“You saw them yourself, just two little beasts. Don’t worry about it, let’s go,” Fang Yu said.

“Mm.” Zhao Zinan nodded, but thinking about that distorted face from earlier, she was still afraid and unconsciously grabbed the hem of Fang Yu’s clothes.

…

About five minutes after they left, a figure descended from the sky, standing at the spot where the two monsters had fallen.

This was an extremely handsome young man.

If Fang Yu were present, he would certainly recognize him as He Chenchen, the mysterious Yuan Ying stage cultivator whom he had met twice at Nandu University a few days ago, the one many female students considered the campus heartthrob.

Now He Chenchen stood in place, looking around with a furrowed brow.

“The demon-seeking compass my master gave me clearly indicated that demons appeared at this location. Judging from the faint aura, they should have been two minor demons… It seems they’ve already been dealt with.”

He Chenchen stood thinking for a moment, then extended his right hand. The green jade ring on his right index finger emitted a glow.

A black bronze compass, about the size of a human face, appeared before him.

This compass was different from ordinary ones – it had no pointer on its surface, only some tiny pinhole-like markings.

He Chenchen’s gaze grew solemn as he silently recited an incantation.

The pinholes on the compass lit up one after another, forming the direction of a needle.

But this needle quickly disappeared, transforming into circles, one ring after another, before finally dimming.

“The demons’ aura has completely dissipated… which means they probably died about five minutes ago. And judging from when the demonic aura first appeared… they probably existed for less than thirty seconds,” He Chenchen deduced.

Appearing and then being eliminated in less than thirty seconds…

Although minor demons were the lowest-ranking beings in the Demon Cult, they were still demons after all. To deal with them in such a short time would require at least Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

He Chenchen had many questions.

Why had the Demon Cult, which had remained hidden in the shadows and rarely appeared in the world, suddenly sent two minor demons to such a place? What was their target? And who had quickly eliminated them?

“Regardless, at least the Demon Cult has indeed extended its reach into the mortal world,” He Chenchen thought coldly. “I must inform Master about this.”

…

There was no one around He Chenchen, but the scene of him standing on the street deep in thought appeared in a large suspended pearl in a dimly lit room.

Two people stood in front of the pearl.

Due to the dim light, the appearances of these two people were unclear, but their eyes, glowing with red light, were quite distinct.

“This kid has also come to Xiang City. It seems he’s determined to ruin our plans,” said the man standing on the left, who was much taller than the man beside him.

“That old undying Jiang Hailiu, I’ve long said we should find a chance to finish him off! For decades, he’s been the one constantly opposing our cult! Now that he can barely move, he sends out a disciple! As long as he lives, we’ll never have peace!” the man on the right said coldly, his tone radiating intense killing intent.

“That old man’s lifespan is nearly at its end, why should we bother?” The tall man laughed coldly. “Going after Jiang Hailiu now would certainly cost us dearly, which is completely unnecessary.”

“But this undying old man is so annoying…” the man beside him said.

“No matter how annoying, he can barely walk now.” The tall man looked at He Chenchen in the pearl, narrowing his eyes. “Now, we just need to eliminate his disciple…”

“Does a dead man walking even warrant discussion?”

At this moment, a woman’s voice came from behind the two men.

The two men immediately turned around and bowed, seemingly paying respects to the woman.

In the dim light, a woman with a curvaceous figure walked up to the two men.

“We have only one goal now, and that is the ‘vessel.’ Anyone who obstructs our actions will be killed without mercy,” the woman said coldly.

“Understood, Lady Sha,” the two men said in unison.

“The situation in Xiang City is chaotic recently, and we don’t have much time. We must capture the ‘vessel’ as quickly as possible,” the woman emphasized again.

“Understood!”

The woman slowly walked to the floating pearl and looked at He Chenchen’s figure. She stroked her red lips with her slender right hand and said, “Jiang Hailiu’s disciple looks quite handsome. You don’t need to kill him. Cripple him and bring him to me.”

“Lady Sha, the man who was standing next to the ‘vessel’ earlier easily dealt with the two minor demons we sent out. Should we investigate him…” the tall man asked.

“I’ve already said,” the woman coldly interrupted the man’s words. “Kill without mercy.”

…

When Fang Yu returned to the entrance of the apartment complex, a black sedan was already parked at the door.

Seeing Fang Yu and Zhao Zinan, the car door opened, and Zhao Xuan got out of the car, hurriedly running toward Fang Yu.

“Greetings, Master Fang!” Zhao Xuan bowed to Fang Yu, then looked at Zhao Zinan hiding behind Fang Yu.

“Zinan, where did you go earlier? You scared me to death.” Zhao Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

Zhao Zinan looked at her brother, still feeling resentful, and turned her head away.

“Master Fang, did you help take care of Zinan? Thank you so much! Really, thank you so much!” Zhao Xuan said gratefully.
