Chapter 211: If the Life-Breath Pool is a gift, then I

Li Yao hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive.

In his perception, this blood-robed youth was actually not weak.

If people like the Little Sword Head grew to this level, they would probably have this much strength.

"Take it out first, and I'll consider it."

"No!"

Pandit kowtowed once and said pitifully, "I beg you!"

"Let me out first, and then I will give the item to you!"

"I am Pandit, son of the Commander; I will absolutely not lie to you!"

Li Yao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think you have room to bargain?"

"Thud!"

Pandit kowtowed to the ground again, speaking in the softest tone: "I beg you! Spare me!"

He knew that these foolish Dragon Country people had the softest hearts.

As long as he acted pitiful enough, the other party would let him go!

This was the only way to survive that Pandit could think of.

"I'll say it one last time: hand it over."

Li Yao had little patience, his right hand slowly resting on the hilt of his sword.

"Let me out, and I will absolutely present it with both hands."

"If you kill me now, you will never find the whereabouts of the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid. Moreover, the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid won't refresh for another half a year; General Xue of your country probably can't wait that long!"

Pandit spoke at high speed, his head continuously kowtowing.

It wasn't a secret that General Xue had gone out to the Abyss; it was normal for the other party to know.

Li Yao pointed at the circle of professionals around them and spoke.

"These people can leave first, but you must hand over the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid first."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding A-San professionals erupted into a commotion.

Everyone watched their master with wide eyes.

The Void Vanguard had completely shattered their psychological defenses; even if it meant disobeying orders, they didn't want to continue fighting such a terrifying creature!

"No!"

Hearing that Li Yao wanted to drive the others out, Pandit seemed to think of something horrifying and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, they cannot leave! They absolutely cannot leave!"

"Oh?"

Li Yao raised an eyebrow, noticing the other party's anomaly.

He said loudly: "It seems your master wants you to continue the war with me."

As his voice fell, the Void Vanguard in the distance let out a timely roar.

Its thousand feet lifted abruptly.

The image of that shockwave destroying everything appeared in everyone's minds.

"No, no, no!"

"Dear Dragon Country friend, our attack on you was all instigated by that guy!"

"That's right! Our A-San country has always respected the great Dragon Country; if not for him, we would absolutely not have attacked Dragon Country professionals!"

Facing these voices, Li Yao gently raised his hand.

The Void Vanguard lowered its front feet and stayed there steadily.

Everyone felt a sudden sense of relief in their hearts.

Several leaders took out the Space-Locking Stones in their hands and crushed them in front of Li Yao.

Li Yao watched, his long sword falling to Pandit's neck, and said coldly:

"Don't move."

Pandit was drenched in cold sweat.

The flames attached to the long sword scorched his upper body; enduring the intense pain, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Li Yao's lips curled into a smile.

How could someone who could endure such pain make a low-level mistake?

That expression just now was likely put on for his benefit, right?

Was provoking him to let the other professionals go a way to save their lives?

Li Yao didn't believe it.

The Space-Locking Stones shattered, and countless white lights flickered.

In just a few seconds, one-third of the surrounding professionals were gone.

Those without departure scrolls took a careful look at the behemoth, and finding that it truly had no movement, they fled into the distance, fearing that Li Yao might suddenly change his mind.

Seeing this scene,

Pandit wore a bitter face, muttering with lifeless eyes:

"It's over, it's over."

"It's all over!"

"Alright, hand the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid to me."

"No—" Pandit just started to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yao.

"You should know that I won't let you go."

"But there are many ways to die: one sword, or countless swords."

"Besides, I don't like threats." Li Yao looked at Pandit with cold eyes and said indifferently, "If there is no Life-Breath Spirit Liquid, there are always other spirit liquids in the world. This is your last chance; think clearly before you speak."

Li Yao was not an interrogator.

So he was telling the truth.

At worst, he would just find another place to search for items to treat General Xue.

Threats didn't work on him.

"No! You cannot kill me!" Pandit said in panic. "The Titan Royal Curse has no way to be solved except for the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid. If you kill me, you will never find the Life-Breath in your life."

"I don't believe it."

"Pfft."

A sword strike descended.

Pandit's head, wreathed in flames, flew away and was burned to ashes in an instant, drifting in the air.

Li Yao jumped off the tiger's back and casually swung his sword.

The tiger was only a level 30 lord-level monster, and after being domesticated, it lacked wildness.

Under Li Yao's flaming long sword, it had no ability to resist and vanished into smoke.

The system prompt sounded.

Experience points increased by 1%.

It could be considered making the best use of everything.

Li Yao opened the regional map.

His war zone level had already reached the maximum of ten.

The observation range was a full ten kilometers.

He could see:

Those A-San professionals who had fled were all heading in one direction.

"Is that the dungeon exit?"

Li Yao pondered to himself.

(This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!)

If he were in charge of the Life-Breath Pool,

he would definitely build the stronghold near the dungeon exit to facilitate monitoring all professionals leaving the dungeon.

The Life-Breath Spirit Liquid,

if it was still in the Life-Breath Pool dungeon, would most likely be at the stronghold.

Now he could only go over and try his luck.

A pair of flaming wings unfolded behind Li Yao.

Skill: 【Wing Retraction】

While increasing all attributes by 10%, Li Yao gained the ability to fly.

Leaping into the sky, Li Yao flew rapidly toward the direction of the stronghold.

Soon,

Li Yao saw a huge dungeon vortex.

A large number of A-San professionals were gathered here, frantically squeezing into the vortex.

"Hmm?"

Li Yao discovered

that among them, one professional wearing fine equipment was not going toward the vortex, but heading in another direction.

Li Yao quickly followed.

As expected,

if one didn't leave the dungeon at this time, there was only one possibility:

that was to head to the stronghold and, taking advantage of the final time, loot the Life-Breath Pool spirit items stored there.

Li Yao was flying in the sky.

Below were several courtyards constructed of simple bamboo boards.

At this moment, the A-San professionals who arrived later were already locked in a struggle with those who had arrived earlier.

Li Yao could also see several professionals tied up in the central courtyard.

One of them even seemed to be a fellow Dragon Countryman!

Li Yao flew down.

With one sword strike, he sent two A-San professionals away.

Then he helped the Dragon Countryman untie his bonds.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man asked with a trembling voice; he never expected that in such a place, there would still be Dragon Country professionals coming to rescue them.

"Do these people need to be saved?" Li Yao didn't answer him.

"No, no need!"

The middle-aged man seemed to recall something, pointed at the other tied-up professionals, and scolded angrily:

"This group of guys were captured by A-San professionals together when they were attacking our Dragon Country stronghold; there is absolutely no need to release them!"

"Dragon Country stronghold?"

Li Yao was stunned.

Just three people, and they called it a stronghold?

Were they bored?

"Since that's the case, handle them however you want."

"By the way, do you know about the Life-Breath Spirit Liquid?"

"Life-Breath Spirit Liquid?" The middle-aged man recalled carefully, pointed to the room behind Li Yao, and said, "I'm not sure, but I know that every time that A-San youth had something good, he would take it to that room."

"Good." Li Yao nodded.

"That," the middle-aged man suddenly said with an apologetic face, "benefactor, I might not have time to help you search together; I'm worried about my daughter."

"It's fine." Li Yao waved his hand, "However, if you want to leave, it's best to wait a moment; the exit side is full of A-San professionals."

"No need." The middle-aged man took out a crumpled talisman, "I have a departure scroll; I can use it as long as I am far away from here."

He had forgotten that almost all Dragon Country professionals had this thing.

Li Yao suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have one.

He would get one when he had time.

Li Yao walked into the room behind him.

As soon as he entered, a bloody smell rushed into his nostrils.

It was pitch dark all around, so Li Yao took out a lighting item.

A headless straw doll lay on the ground; its head was nowhere to be found.

Li Yao narrowed his eyes.

The area from the doll's neck to its chest was scorched.

How similar it was to Pandit's state of death!

Could it be that...

Outside,

at the entrance of the Life-Breath Pool vortex,

Pandit was clutching a used departure scroll, his hands supporting his knees, panting heavily.

Several fifth-turn professionals beside him looked at him cautiously: "Young Master, do you need us to call a healing professional?"

"No need." Pandit shook his head.

"It's just the aftereffects of the skill; it will be fine in a while."

Pandit watched the A-San professionals coming out of the vortex one by one.

A sinister arc flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself:

You should have found that doll by now, right?

How is it? Are you very angry that you didn't kill me?

Don't be angry yet.

Inside there, I have a big gift prepared for you!

Hahaha!

Pandit laughed wantonly.

"Could it be that..."
