Chapter 239: A Deadly Game.
Ying was the only one out of the three unable to react to the disembodied voiceing from above them. Bing froze like a statue when he felt the pressure descending on his round body. His thick hands that were grabbing at the piles of gold and spiritual objects halted mid-air.Jiajiared at the voice above him with her ws growing in length. Jie reacted in a simr manner to Bing but with her sword at the ready to be used to defend herself. Shang ced a talisman on himself that ignited and created a qi bubble around himself.
To think that I, the Demon God Thief, would find my end in such a cursed ced... The voice sighed. So, you want my treasure is that it? You want the treasure of a godly thief that managed to cause empires to go mad because of his stealing skills? It does make sense. The tomb of a godly thief such as myself would cause multiple empires to go crazy trying to rob it. There are many precious royal heirlooms and the like inside here but how could I just let you take it for free? The voices tone had some yfulness to it. Do you know how many enemies I made by stealing across the world? Back in my day, if any of these treasures were to get out, the heavens themselves might just strike you for acquiring such godlike treasures. Perhaps thats why I died in this ce, never to enter the reincarnation wheel for myself because I gained too much for a mortal!
No one interrupted the talkative ghost. Whoever this ghost was, everyone could clearly feel just how powerful he was. Shang couldnt even secretly try and create a formation to save all of them. The ghost was able to watch his every movement, no matter how small it might be. If he was this strong even as a ghost, Shang couldnt fathom how powerful he was when he was alive. And since he was a thief, he was probably informed about all types of tricks and schemes. Not that Shang was well-versed in them anyway. As a genius, when did he ever have to rely on petty tricks? Never, thats when.
We might stand a chance of surviving if that cow seeds in gaining the Mystic me...Jiajiaspoke to Bing from inside his void world.
Sowe need to stall him, huh? Sweat dripped from Bings body.
From one dangerous life-threatening situation to the next... To say that he was surprised would be a lie. As a member of Heavens Angels, he simply had to get used to being in such dire situations until they were just amon thing. Like waking up to eat breakfast or having a casual conversation with a peer. Was it sad to say that he was already used to the rapid beating of his heart from terror andhaving his mind race in thinking of ways to survive thissituationwith his life and the life of his friends intact?
I beg your forgiveness, Demon God Thief! Bing turned his body, banged his forehead to the ground, and kowtowed to the spirit. If you so wish, we will leave your resting ce this instance and never return to bother you again! He shouted with his body shivering.
Ho...Soyou intrude on my resting ce, mess up the fengshuof my belongings and how they were ced, and then ask for forgiveness?
Im willing to do anything so that you can forgive us and let us leave with our lives! Bing responded.
Now, now, I am a sensible ghost. While I can barely control myself looking at your sulent body, I am a man willing to give others a fair chance. How about this... Since your friend with the evil sword is about to take the Mystic me I ced to protect my treasures from ghosts, all I require is one of your lives in return. He asked politely. You three will fight until there are only two of you remaining. You can team up or fight individually. It doesnt matter to me. He exined.
You...! How could--- Jies righteous anger was interrupted by Bings sudden assault.
Swift Devil! Bing tackled into Jie and knocked her into a wall.
He winked towards Shang, who caught on quickly to what he was doing. Shang skillfully twirled his staff as he ran towards Bing. Bing fought like aplete coward. Once he saw the prodigying towards him, he threw piles of gold and anything within range to stop him froming any closer. Laughter could be heard above Bing and Shang.
Bing! Why the hell?! Youre ying into his hands! Stop fighting! Jie shouted.
She ran over with her sword to break the two of them up so that they could work together to escape this situation. Unfortunately, her seemingly logical n didnt fit the narrative of anyone else. When Bing heard Jieing up from behind him, an arm grew out of his back and punched her in the gut, sending her flying away once again. At this point, Jies patience wouldve normally run out but falling in love with the man named Hu Tao changed her.
In truth, her patience ran out when Bing first knocked into her. When she was going to break up Bing and Shangs fight, she was actually going to beat them half to death and force them into listening to her. Her patience hasnt improved but actually lowered significantly. It was because of this lower patience that she asked Jing to help her be a woman that could keep Hu Tao under control and be loved by him. Jie''s poor little heart wouldnt be able tost long if she couldnt do anything about Hu Tao except be in love with him.
As Jie was about to get up to half-murder Bing, she felt something fall off of her stomach. It was that strange talisman that Bing and Ying had. Her eyes narrowed as she closely read the words on the talisman. A sense of relief and anger washed over her once she read it. She was still upset about being hit by Bing but now that she thought about it, she wasnt hurt all that much. The only damage she took was from crashing into the wall twice and even that was negligible because she coated her body in qi to brace for impact. Jie soon got up and charged back towards Bing and Shang with rage and greed in her eyes.
Hmm? Whats this? Demon God Thief plucked the talisman off the ground.
As the slip of paper floated in front of his eyes, he frowned. There was nothing on it. He tried infusing his ghostly qi into it but still nothing happened. Something wasnt adding up... Why did that girl look like she was reading something if there was nothing on this talisman? Demon God Thief couldnte up with an exnation for it so, he tried ripping it up.
Hmm? He couldnt rip it. Maybe he just wasnt trying hard enough. Nhhhg! Okay, this talisman obviously wasnt normal.
Die! The sound ofbat temporarilyrecapturedhis interest.
A spray of blood shot out from the fattys chest. He fell to the ground clutching his wound as his eyes frantically looked around the room for something to save his life with. He scooted backward with his butt in terror from the young girl slowly inching towards him with a menacing look on her face. Demon God Thief couldnt believe how easy it was getting these three to turn on each other. His instincts were telling him that something was off but that fattys injury was too severe for this to be faked. That fatty was going to die soon even if he had healing pills or got treatment soon.
Despite this though, the Demon God Thief didnt lower his guard. How could the king of thieves be foolish enough to believe what he saw with his eyes? You dont be the king of thieves by simply trusting your eyes. If anything, eyes were the most untrustworthy organs! Hed rather trust his nose than his eyes!
Sorry, tubby. The girl grinned. Looks like the treasure is all ours. Were her final words to the dying fatty.
Work harder in your next life. The handsome boy looked down on him.
Demon God Thief was very satisfied by this oue. Once the fattys breathing stopped, he would award the two survivors by allowing them to take one treasure of their choice. When they escape, theyll inevitably tell more people about his tomb, allowing him to bring more and more people to his resting ce. Some will be used for entertainment purposes while others will be nutrients for him to feed on.
Youre mine,youstupid me! I, Yue Ying, will never give up something that I want! As a member of the Yue Family, asking me to give up something I want is the same as asking me to die! My conviction isnt so weak that I would lose to a barely developed me like you. Yings voice cried out.
A purple me erupted from Yings body. Two figures in particr fiercely recoiled at this purple me. One retreated inside Bings body while the other floated closer to the ceiling.
