Chapter 144: The Death of POH

While the members of the Clearers in the cave were cheering for having wiped out the terrifying Red Player Guild known as Laughing Coffin, a figure slowly appeared in a bush not far from the cave; it was POH, the leader of Laughing Coffin, who had just escaped from the hands of Luo Yexi.

"Damn the Clearers, damn the Black and White Sword Envoy, damn the God Squad, I will absolutely not let you off!" POH said, gritting his teeth. "Just you wait, one day I will return to this place, and when that time comes, you will face my most brutal revenge!"

After leaving behind these harsh words, POH intended to leave the area; after all, the players of the Clearers were not very far away, and it would be troublesome if they discovered his tracks.

Just as POH was preparing to sneak away from the area, he suddenly felt a palpitation and rolled on the ground, moving away from where he had been standing.

With a "Boom," the large tree he had been hiding behind shook violently, and a small pit appeared on it. Looking at the pit in the tree, POH's body could not help but tremble slightly; he could not imagine what his fate would have been if that strike had landed on him.

"Who is it, come out!" POH looked around, feeling somewhat terrified, and shouted.

"Ara ara, Mr. POH, are you afraid?" A voice with a hint of mockery rang out.

"Is it behind that large tree?" POH narrowed his eyes and quickly locked onto the direction the voice came from.

"Ara, as expected of Mr. POH, to have locked onto my position so quickly!" Seemingly because their position had been discovered, the person hiding behind the tree no longer hid and revealed their figure openly; it was none other than Lingqi.

"You are... Lingqi of the God Squad?" POH narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person before him.

"That's right, it's me!" Lingqi pulled at her skirt and elegantly performed a curtsy for POH.

Looking at Lingqi before him, several thoughts flashed rapidly through POH's mind: should he finish her off here, or leave first? After all, every member of the God Squad possessed immense strength.

Within a few seconds, POH had already made his decision. If the opponent had not revealed their figure, he would have left this place without a second thought. But now that the opponent had appeared before him, and it was a girl who appeared to have no close-quarters combat ability, it would truly be a disservice to himself if he did not kill her! Furthermore, the opponent was a member of the God Squad, and his battle plan failing this time was inseparable from the God Squad's interference!

"My dear lady, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a member of the God Squad and appearing before me at this time!" A cruel smile appeared on POH's face as he brandished his kitchen knife and charged toward Lingqi; he could not wait to see the expression of terror on this girl's face before him.

However, a situation that puzzled him occurred: the expression that appeared on Lingqi's face was not terror, but mockery! That's right, mockery, as if POH's behavior had amused her!

A red and black airflow suddenly spread from Lingqi's body, swirling around her; it appeared she had activated Limit Break. She raised her short gun, the red and black airflow gathered at the muzzle, and then a bullet shot out from the barrel.

With a "Clang," POH felt a massive force transmit through his kitchen knife, making him almost unable to hold onto his weapon.

"How is this possible!" POH stopped his body and stared at Lingqi with a blank expression. Lingqi's shot just now had hit his kitchen knife perfectly, not only breaking his Sword Skill but also terminating his offensive; this was simply not something a human could do.

"What, is it hard to believe?" Lingqi looked at POH with a smile.

"How can this be, this must be a coincidence!" A trace of fear flashed in POH's eyes, and he brandished his kitchen knife again, lunging toward Lingqi. "I don't believe you can do this every time!"

However, in the time that followed, no matter where POH launched any kind of Sword Skill from or in what manner, it would be interrupted by Lingqi's bullets.

"You, you are not human, you are a monster!" POH looked at Lingqi, his eyes full of fear.

"Hehe, not human, a monster? That's right, I was never human to begin with!" POH's words provoked Lingqi, and terrifying killing intent spread from her body, enveloping POH.

Under this astonishing killing intent, POH's body could not help but shiver. Yet he laughed out loud: "I just don't know if your companions know you have this side to you; if they found out, would they still dare to be with you?"

"You, go to hell!" Cold light flared in Lingqi's eyes as she raised the short gun in her hand and fired at POH repeatedly.

Lingqi's bullets looked extremely fierce, but every shot cleverly avoided the vital points on a person's body. Even so, the health bar above POH's head continued to drop, segment by segment.

"It's useless, it's useless! Even if you kill me, you can't hide the fact that you are a monster. When your companions find out your true nature, they will definitely abandon you!" POH said with a laugh, completely unconcerned that his health bar had turned red.

"Enough, Lingqi!" As Lingqi was firing frantically, she suddenly felt someone grab her hand.

Lingqi's body trembled, the gun in her hand stopped firing, and her body went limp, collapsing directly into the arms of the person who had arrived. She spoke with a hint of timidity: "Lingyun..."

"Hahahaha, see? Someone has already discovered your monster nature. Just watch, he will abandon you soon!" A strange smile appeared on POH's face.

"Soon, it's almost time, just a little more. Very soon, I will possess a powerful Puppet. Quick, Lingyun, lend me a hand and destroy this girl's last line of mental defense!" POH shouted in his heart.

"Noisy!" Lingyun glanced coldly at POH, and terrifying killing intent directly enveloped him.

Lingyun's killing intent had been accumulated over countless worlds he had experienced; its level of terror was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand! POH was directly suppressed to the ground by this powerful killing intent, unable to move. At the same time, some bad things in this space were also completely shredded by this massive killing intent.

"Lingyun, I..." The red and black airflow on Lingqi's body slowly dissipated, and she spoke with some sadness.

"No need to say it, I know everything!" Lingyun said softly.

"Wh, what, you know everything?" Lingqi looked at Lingyun with a face full of surprise.

"Hmm, although I don't know your identity or background, Lingqi, from the movements you make inadvertently in daily life and some behaviors, I can tell that you are not an ordinary person!" Lingyun smiled and patted Lingqi's head. "It's not just me; the others have had this thought too, but because you have been hiding it from us, we haven't brought it up, just waiting for the day you tell us yourself!"

"So you all had your suspicions; and here I thought I had been hiding it well all this time!" Lingqi's tone was somewhat low.

"You don't need to worry! None of us will leave you, and you should know that none of us are ordinary people either!" Lingyun smiled and comforted her.

"Mm." Lingqi nodded slightly. "When I remember my identity, I will definitely not hide it from everyone!"

"For now, let's deal with this small fry, and then we can go back!" Lingyun looked at POH, who was sprawled on the ground, a cold sneer appearing on his face. Although most of his attention had been on Lingqi just now, that did not mean he had not noticed the anomaly here. Wanting to use the power of the Underworld King of the End to control Lingqi—his thinking was truly too naive!

"Die!" Lingyun waved his hand casually, and dozens of Sword Qi flew out from his hand, slamming heavily into POH and taking away his last bit of health.

POH's eyes widened, and his body slowly turned into fragments. He, who had been thinking of making a comeback, never expected that he would die in this place.

"Let's go, let's go meet up with Ye Xi and the others!" Lingyun turned his head and said to Lingqi.

"Okay!" Lingqi nodded slightly.
