Chapter 274
"Can you let go of my student?" Li Cheng smiled warmly and brightly: "Her homework for today isn't finished yet~"
"You, who are you!" That Demon Race A trembled as he drew his Weapon, staring ruthlessly at Li Cheng.
"Me, I'm just a passing home tutor, you guys——"
"Old Ma!! Old Ma how are you gone Old Ma!"
Li Cheng's words weren't finished yet, when another Demon Race B suddenly pounced onto the headless Corpse, crying with snot and tears.
Li Cheng: "……"
Demon Race A: "……"
Demon Race A seemed to think of something, also suddenly pointing behind Li Cheng: "Dean!"
"Good Opportunity!"
His voice just fell, the Demon Race B who was still mourning suddenly pulled out a soft sabre from his embrace, slashing towards Li Cheng's neck.
Turns out, the so-called mourning and Dean just now were merely a smokescreen for the two of them to approach Li Cheng!
Watching the soft sabre about to hit the neck, both Demon Race A and Demon Race B's faces revealed smiles of success.
This soft sabre was bestowed by the Dean, that is the Boss, to Demon Race B as a secret treasure, its Rating is the rare 【Epic Grade】.
And Demon Race B is the one among them with the strongest Power/Strength, most exquisite Sabre Technique, his Hard Strength has already reached Eight Rank.
Now calculating with intent against the unprepared, ruthlessly sneak attacking.
The two of them seemed to already be able to see that youth Decapitated, dying with eyes wide open in a miserable Appearance.
Next instant.
With a "Dong" sound.
The soft sabre accurately hit Li Cheng's neck.
But the Screen the two Demon Race Imagined did not happen.
Instead, from the blade contact point, cracks splitting open Little Bit by Little Bit.
Crack crack.
In the faint sound,
That Epic Grade long sabre, actually at visible speed, shattered into Debris.
Demon Race B stared blankly at the hilt without a blade, trembling: "You, you, are you human or ghost……"
How is this possible?
He's an 8th Rank sabre user!
And this is an Epic Grade Relic!
How could it be shattered by this youth's mortal body? This Power/Strength, even if the Dean Boss came, he couldn't do it!
And the youth In Front of him just looked at him Inexplicably, a Warm smile on his face, as if Doubtful about What Happened Just Now.
"What did you do? Why does it feel a Bit itchy?" Li Cheng asked.
"You, you, you……" Demon Race B scared back two steps, forcing courage: "Brother, this wave, Enemy Strength far above us, running is Not Come In Time, stretch neck is a slash, shrink neck is also a slash, together up, olive him!"
"Brother! Brother! Brother?"
Called several times no response, he turned head to look, only then discovered Demon Race A had long rushed 100 meters away.
While running, still face terrified crying: "Ghost, there's ghost, damn it, there's ghost!"
"I fucked, agreed not seek same life only seek same death? You actually betray me! You TM, you TM can't be This Way!" Demon Race B trembling turned head, looking at Li Cheng, swallowing saliva, showing Chan Shou smile:
"Hehe, Big Boss, you see me surrender now, still, still Come In Time? I, I can Bring you to find Dean Boss!"
And Li Cheng seemed not to hear his words, gently looking at Plague Mother Goddess: "Liv, cover your eyes, the next Screen, not suitable for children to watch."
"……" Liv: "That, that, Teacher Li Cheng, I am a blind person."
"Oh……" Li Cheng nodded, Expressionless, voice colder: "Blind person, can't cover eyes?"
"Ah!! O, okay!" Liv scared fur standing, hurriedly covered eyes.
Next instant, Crimson splattered, warm Blood-stained sprinkled onto Liv's Back of Hand.
That Demon Race B's head, floating fell at his feet.
Face Expression, still maintaining Surprise and shock, like hadn't Reacted that he already Died.
"Okay, can open eyes." Li Cheng shook off Blood-stained on hand.
"Tea, teacher, I am a blind person." Liv trembling said again.
"Blind person……" Li Cheng put hand on her Shoulder: "Can't open eyes?"
"Ah!! Can, can!" Liv fur standing again, eyes wide open.
And Li Cheng also frowned.
Indeed, same as data said, her Eyeball development fundamentally incomplete.
Thought a bit, Li Cheng still didn't Heal her.
After all this part of Memory, is to replace her Original Memory.
If she blind now Healed, would conflict with her later Memory.
Besides, he came to Bestow Plague Mother Goddess fear, not to Protect her.
"Thank, thank you, Teacher Li Cheng……" Liv weakly tugging face scarf: "Thanks to you, otherwise I already…… I will repay you!"
Thank me?
Repay me? How can you Thank repay me?
You should think to kill me! Plague Mother Goddess, you already have Death Seeking!
Li Cheng coldly laughed, body emitting Sticky Death Qi, suddenly flicked hand, gripped Liv's neck, a lift high: "Save you? Little girl, you're too Naive."
"Ah……" Liv face purple, continuously rolling white eyes.
"You don't really think I'm some good guy who wants to save you, do you?" Big Boss's voice grew colder: "To be honest, I killed them only because they were incredibly bold, daring to lay a hand on my prey."
"Heh, so don't try to get close to me, understand? Play your role as prey well."
"I... I understand..." Liv moaned weakly.
"Hmph." After maintaining the raised-hand posture for a while, Big Boss tossed the Plague Mother Goddess to the ground: "All right, Miss Liv, our assessment must continue."
His tone was ice-cold, exactly the kind of abusive teacher who treats the heroine as a tool and discards her after use.
"You have ten minutes left before you get whipped."
"Cough, cough cough, I, I know." After coughing several times, Liv picked up her magic staff with difficulty and hurriedly got moving.
"Ah-zhe, your acting at birth is truly more born than birth itself..." Lilith flew to Big Boss's side, her mouth corner twitching.
"Low profile, low profile, basic operation, don't mess up—acting is my specialty." Big Boss waved his hand.
Acting, I'd say you're playing yourself... Lilith stared with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Oh, right, Big Boss, you let one escape—is that really okay, meow?"
"Don't worry, that fellow is quite valuable." Big Boss smiled, and silver-white tear drops secreted from the soles of his feet, following that Demon General A.
He planned to use this Demon General A to round up all the Demon Race members inside this Monastery in one sweep.
I don't know if that Dean is inside the Monastery or not—that kind of scum with a thing for underage lolis, Big Boss really wants to teach him a lesson~ He smiled, then looked at Liv's back view, smiling with satisfaction.
Heh, presumably his recent operation has already left an indelible shadow in this girl's heart.
After all, just now she not only faced death directly, but also received his severe threat.
Now that the dust has settled, he can't rest yet—he must rush to the Classroom immediately, truly a hell-level experience.
How mature can a nine-year-old's mind be? Big Boss had a friend who was scared of not daring to sleep while watching Ultraman at nine. Let alone a little girl—she's already scared out of her wits! This move, steady, steady!
On the other side, Liv dry-coughed while trying to speed up toward the Classroom.
Yet on her face, there was no fear, unease, or despair,
replaced instead by happiness.
Mom, is this what it feels like to be cared for and protected? Although she had no mother from birth, Liv still let out such a sigh.
Without a doubt, just now she was protected by Teacher Big Boss.
What "I'm his prey"...
Is this how prey is treated? There's even a chance to learn, heh...
Although I've been bullied for a long time and never read books, I'm no idiot! Being directly kidnapped and left for slaughter like just now—that's what being prey is! Teacher Big Boss's treatment of me is clearly protection!
To make me accept your kindness, you actually went this far... Teacher Big Boss, you really are a good person.
And, being prey exclusively for you...
So happy...
Without realizing it, Liv's face turned red.
Her movements kept speeding up.
She must reach the Classroom early, cannot let the teacher down.
Moving with such force, she accidentally fell to the ground.
But Liv didn't complain or stop to rest; instead, she stubbornly stood up and set out on the journey once more.
"I absolutely cannot let the teacher down!"
Big Boss watched this scene, extremely satisfied.
Look at how scared the child is—she fell but doesn't dare stop.
My recent operation was surely doomed to fail? I'll win! Thinking this, he controlled his tear drop clone.
……………………
Inside the Demon Race Gathering Place beneath the Monastery.
Music and dance in peaceful times, red lights and green wine—rather than a gathering place, it's more like a bar.
The Demon Race members who survive by selling people used those glittering gold pounds to enjoy a life of luxury and chaos.
Tables were full of "goods" already sold, and on the photos of those "orphans," crosses were drawn one by one.
And above the bar counter of this gathering place hung a photo of the Dean.
He wore black monk robes, with a kindly face and eyes containing the color of saving all beings—truly a priest who helps people achieve enlightenment.
Just then, a huge sound of rumble was heard.
The wooden door of the gathering place was pushed open.
Demon Race A rushed in, dispirited, and took a big fall.
His hair was disheveled, cold sweat pouring, as if scared stupid.
The Demon Race members' gazes instantly all focused on him.
And no one noticed that a small lump of silver-gray metal also wriggled in after him, changing colors through optical camouflage to blend into the environment.
The Demon Race bartender behind the bar counter frowned: "What's wrong with you, why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Where are B and C? Why haven't they come back?"
As the second-in-command of this human-trafficking gathering place, he knew very well what the mission of this ABC trio was.
"Ghost, I, I really saw a ghost, saw a ghost!" Demon Race A, hearing this, had an even more terrified expression: "C and B, had their heads chopped off by that ghost with one slap! Damn it, can, can't stand it, he, he, he's a ghost, is a ghost!"
"Ghost your mother, pull a comparison!" The bartender slapped Demon Race A's face: "Speak properly to me!"
This slap actually slapped Demon Race A's soul back into place.
He covered his face, panting, and told the story of Big Boss in detail.
"I see, it seems our business has also been eyed by someone." The bartender frowned, subconsciously rotating the cup in his hand.
The blue cocktail swayed with his movement.
But no one noticed that the small lump of metal wriggled and jumped into the wine cup, merging into one.
"Bar, you, you mean..."
"Heh heh, what the hell, this is clearly a rival here to rob and kill, but this person's strength is still very strong, actually able to instantly kill B and C, hmm, at least Ninth Rank or above, as for Tenth Rank... probably impossible."
The bartender analyzed while lightly sipping the cocktail in his hand.
"Why is this?" the other Demon Race members asked doubtfully.
"Heh heh, Tenth Rank big shots all stick close to Demigods; in other words, they're on good terms with the person behind our boss, so how could they possibly move against us? Doesn't he want to keep living anymore?" The bartender took another sip of wine:
"Don't worry, even if he's Tenth Rank there's nothing to fear, after all our Dean Adult is also a Tenth Rank Strong One. Don't worry, the boss is already on his way back."
"We only need to gather all our strength, drag out this 'Ghost,' not let him leave, weaken him as much as possible, and after the boss returns, he won't be able to escape even with wings."
Having spoken, he laughed while calmly taking another sip of wine:
"And dragging him out is extremely simple, after all Dean Adult left us a defensive Relic, this Relic was bestowed upon Dean by that big shot, tsk tsk tsk."
"Hahaha, exactly, Brother Bartender is the most thoughtful!"
"That's right, still want to mess with our business? Who's behind our boss! Hahaha! This time, we'll make sure he goes but never returns!"
"That's right, a Ghost? He actually wants to be a Ghost, then we'll let him truly become a wild ghost and return to the Abyss, hahahaha!!!"
The Demon Race members all laughed mockingly together, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
The bartender was extremely satisfied, and took another sip of wine: "Alright, pass on my command, recall all our troops, let this blind thing know what absolute—ugh!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly retched dryly, then held the table with both hands, his body swaying, almost falling to the ground.
Blood-red threads filled his eyes, his face turned deathly pale, and his body crumbled bit by bit.
"Save, save, save, save me..."
The bartender's body twitched violently, he tried to claw at his own throat with his hands, but it was futile.
The next moment, large amounts of fresh blood spurted out from him.
His skin continuously cracked and decayed, revealing silver-gray Liquid Metal.
Finally, he fell to the ground, twitching, with no more movement.
Bleeding from all seven orifices, his whole body rotting, his death was extremely miserable.
The time used from beginning to end was less than three seconds.
The entire room fell into deathly silence.
I don't know how long passed before Demon Race A raised a finger, trembling as he said: "Ghost, it's that Ghost, he's here, he's come to kill us!"
"Ahhh! Ghost, Ghost, Ghost!!"
"Run, run fast, run!!"
For a moment, the Demon Race members who had been laughing heartily rushed toward the Door in a scramble.
They grappled with each other, roaring and struggling.
And behind them, the bartender stood up again, revealing a sunny smile:
"Heh heh, there's not much time left~"
