Chapter 110

"How about this look?"

On the ground, after the demon beast dodged, a rock pillar abruptly rose up beneath it.

The demon beast used the momentum to leap, soaring into the air.

Immediately after, another rock pillar appeared before it, towering high.

Unable to gain any leverage in midair, the demon beast struggled and slammed headfirst into the rock pillar.

"Done!"

In the distance, Morax clapped his hands, looking utterly nonchalant.

He had every appearance of a man who'd done a good deed and refused to leave his name behind.

Down the mountain

The gorgeous treasure chest also rolled, rumbling and gurgling, right to Jiang Yan's feet.

Jiang Yan grabbed the treasure chest, his eyes brimming with dense killing intent.

"Nicely done, my lord!"

"Damned thing, you dare run from me?!"

"Immortal Method! Wood Release, miniature Myōkōmon!"

As Jiang Yan's voice fell, several small Myōkōmon descended from the sky, sealing the monster before him onto the ground.

"Little weasel, care to run another lap for me?"

Jiang Yan grinned savagely, crouched down, and slapped the demon beast's head hard.

"I'm not a weasel! Your lord Marten here is a marten!"

Bizarrely, the demon beast suddenly opened its mouth and spoke.

And its tone was utterly arrogant.

"Hmph! If I hadn't been ambushed, you'd get eight hundred chances and still never catch your lord Marten!"

"You've got the guts, undo the seal on me!"

Even though this self-styled Lord Marten had been caught by Jiang Yan, it still wore a wildly insolent look.

"Oh ho! Caught and still this arrogant?!"

Jiang Yan let out a savage grin and landed a great slap across its face.

"Be arrogant one more time, let's see!"

"How dare you! You dare lay a hand on your lord Marten?!"

The marten flew into a towering rage, bellowing furiously and thrashing about wildly.

"Slap!"

Jiang Yan swung his arm in a full arc and delivered another slap.

"Insolence!!!!"

The marten before him — ugly-faced, looking bizarrely like a weasel — roared.

Still not convinced?

"Slap!"

Jiang Yan raised his hand once more and brought it down in another slap.

"Arrogance!!!"

This marten was clearly the type whose mouth stayed hard even in death — even after taking three great slaps to the face, it kept cursing wildly at him.

"Heh, I freaking love your little temper tantrums!"

Jiang Yan rolled his wrist and licked his parched lips.

【Host, leave it to me!】

In his mind, the system suddenly spoke up.

"Oh! If it isn't my bro System, what big matter dragged you out?"

Jiang Yan said in a sarcastic tone.

The last time the system had spoken with him was when he obtained the Sword of Victory from a pact.

Normally, aside from popping up when opening treasure chests, the thing never showed its face.

【Funny, you don't slack off when you're working?】

The system's voice was unusually punchable.

"Then what dragged you out this time?"

Jiang Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

【This Treasure-Eating Marten is not a product of this world.】

"Treasure-Eating Marten?"

"Wait!"

"How did something from outside this world show up again!!"
