"Yes! I deserve to die, so what are you planning to do?" The Demon Beast Xi Kun was completely unfazed, not at all worried that Ye Tianfan could kill him with a re flick of a finger. Instead, he curiously questioned Ye Tianfan.
"Then you can just die!" Seeing the smug look on the Demon Beast Xi Kun's face, Ye Tianfan's last string of patience snapped entirely.
Ye Tianfan ford a sword finger with his right hand and then stabbed fiercely towards the Demon Beast Xi Kun, as if he could kill the beast with a simple thrust out of thin air.
The Fire Lotus Sword, controlled by Ye Tianfan, shot fiercely towards the Demon Beast Xi Kun's heart, carrying the anger of its master, and seed to burn even hotter.
Without any obstruction, and the Demon Beast Xi Kun not dodging at all, Ye Tianfan's Fire Lotus Sword pierced directly through its heart.
Seeing this scene, a large part of the anger in Ye Tianfan's mind instantly dissipated.
Sothing's wrong, sothing is definitely wrong, this is a trap.
Ye Tianfan saw the Fire Lotus Sword effortlessly pierce through the Demon Beast Xi Kun's heart and felt sothing amiss. With its deceitful nature, it would never let itself be killed so easily; this was definitely a sche.
The Demon Beast Xi Kun, pierced by the Fire Lotus Sword, did not change its expression, but stood there straight as a post, with a smug smile on its face, as if the one pierced through the heart wasn't him at all.
Ye Tianfan braced himself with full alertness, barely even breathing and wrapped himself in Spiritual Qi, only then could he completely isolate himself from the blood poison of the Demon Beast Xi Kun.
The Demon Beast Xi Kun, seeing Ye Tianfan's cautious deanor, chuckled, "Don't worry, this ti I'm not relying on blood poison. Seeing you get here so quickly, you must have found a way to cure the blood poison, so it doesn't serve much purpose for . I'm not relying on that."
After the Demon Beast Xi Kun finished speaking, without making a move, the wound in its chest where it had been pierced began to heal, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan knew he was in for a hard fight, hoping the creature wouldn't have such a regenerative effect, otherwise, he would have to battle it for days and nights.
While Ye Tianfan was still contemplating how to fight soone with such strong regeneration, a scream suddenly rang out, not far from him, a villager from the small town suddenly clutching his heart scread several tis, then twitched a couple of tis, and subsequently fell silent.
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan had the Fire Lotus Sword remain on guard, while he hurried over. He needed to see what exactly had happened, why had a villager from the small town suddenly scread? Was it possible that he wasn't dead? If he wasn't dead, then perhaps many of the villagers lying around weren't either.
Rushing to the villager's side, Ye Tianfan propped him up and felt his pulse, which had already stopped. He then set the villager down, reached out, and felt the pulse of another villager nearby; this one had a pulse—he was alive!
With the Fire Lotus Sword continuing to keep watch, Ye Tianfan took the opportunity to check the pulse of the surrounding villagers, and they all had pulses.
What's going on? Ye Tianfan looked at so of the further away villagers and noticed that they had no postmortem livor mortis on their faces, rather, their complexions were quite healthy, not at all like that of corpses. Could it be they are not dead at all?
Deep in his heart Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief, it seed he hadn't returned too late.
However, if all the townspeople here weren't dead, then where was this bloody sll coming from?
While Ye Tianfan was still puzzled, suddenly, there was a pool of blood under the villager he had just confird dead.
What's going on? Earlier he didn't see any blood, how co within just a minute there was such a large pool?
Ye Tianfan went over to take a look, finding the blood ca from where the villager held with his hand. After Ye Tianfan removed the villager's hand, he found the source was indeed from the villager's heart area, and there was a penetrating wound there, similar to the wound on the Demon Beast Xi Kun after being pierced... or was it exactly the sa?
Ye Tianfan suddenly raised his head and then looked toward the Demon Beast Xi Kun, to be precise, looked at where it had been pierced earlier.
There it was smooth, apart from the clothing damaged with an opening, there were no other traces, not even blood.
Could it be? A thought occurred in Ye Tianfan's mind, imdiately occupying his brain uncontrollably.
No mistake, it's definitely the case! Gritting his teeth, Ye Tianfan stood up, glaring at the Demon Beast Xi Kun, "You're behind this, aren't you? This villager's death is your doing, isn't it?"
Hearing Ye Tianfan's accusation, the Demon Beast Xi Kun spread its hands, mockingly said, "Don't bla , it's got nothing to do with . You're the one who killed them, what does it have to do with !"
"You..." Ye Tianfan gritted his teeth, staring daggers at the Demon Beast Xi Kun. If looks could kill, then the Demon Beast Xi Kun would likely already be a pile of minced at.
"Hahaha! Let explain to you, seeing your puzzled little eyes, I really can't bear to keep it from you anymore." The Demon Beast Xi Kun teased Ye Tianfan and then began to say, "All the villagers in the small grove now are just my skins, not yet refined into puppets!
I think you must be wondering what skins are! Let explain! Their Life Force has already been contracted by , aning that whenever I receive damage, I can transfer it to them, and transfer their health back to . That is to say, unless you first kill all the villagers in the small town, I won't be hard at all."
The Demon Beast Xi Kun explained everything so clearly to Ye Tianfan for two reasons: one, to make Ye Tianfan hesitate and not dare to make rash moves, leading to a confused state of mind and loss of focus, and two, to make Ye Tianfan feel responsible for directly killing the villagers, forcing him into self-bla and further losing his focus.
Both reasons aid to distract Ye Tianfan, making it easier for him to descend into madness.
"What?" Ye Tianfan couldn't believe it. That the Demon Beast Xi Kun had such an ability, turning all the villagers into human shields—how could he fight it then? Any harm to it would an the death of a villager, how was that any different from killing them himself?
Ye Tianfan was genuinely troubled; he couldn't kill, and he couldn't even fight, or who knew what kind of injuries could be transferred to the villagers. He even felt that if he punched the Demon Beast Xi Kun, the transfer to the villagers might cause them to die from the severity of the injury.
Ye Tianfan had never encountered such a situation before, let alone know how to solve it. At this mont, he was utterly at a loss.
