Chapter 671: The Suspended Heart Has Died (13)

~7 min read 1,363 words

Not good!

There is someone else here!?

When did they arrive?

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant turned his head abruptly, scanning the surroundings with his only remaining eye, searching for the unexpected arrival.

"Who!!?"

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant knew that the commotion from his battle with those three rat demons was not small, and it would sooner or later attract the attention of others.

Even if he ran into some familiar faces, he would not be surprised.

But the other party had arrived far too quickly, and far too eerily; he hadn't even discovered a single trace...

This is very wrong!

Unless the other party's strength far exceeded his own, he would certainly have been able to capture a trace of fluctuation by relying on the God Eye bestowed by the Immortal Lord.

Does the other party have a special concealment technique?

Wanting to be the fisherman who profits?

Hmph!

This Divine Servant will certainly not let you succeed!

After a thorough search yielded nothing, the Nine-Eye Divine Servant's heart sank, and he quietly changed his strategy, calming the fluctuations on his body.

Although covered in wounds, his expression looked exceptionally calm, as if he did not care about his injuries, and he said indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist, why are you unwilling to show yourself? Since you have already spoken, why not come out and meet?"

He was bluffing, gambling that the other party did not know his true bottom line.

At the same time, the Nine-Eye Divine Servant secretly crushed an eyeball-shaped Token, attempting to transmit the news here to the Hundred-Eye Divine Lord.

Even when fighting the giant rats earlier, he had not used this life-saving secret treasure, but now, without even seeing the other party's face, he had already proactively crushed his life-saving secret treasure.

There was no reason for making such a move; it was entirely out of his instinctive intuition.

As a Divine Servant of the Wuxiang Realm, his perception regarding himself was extremely keen.

Cannot hesitate!

This is a true crisis; absolutely, one cannot underestimate the other party, otherwise, he would risk falling!

The forest was silent, and no one answered his call.

"... Tsk!"

This left the Nine-Eye Divine Servant somewhat puzzled, doubting whether he had just suffered auditory hallucinations due to being too nervous... How could that be?

His state was indeed poor, but he would absolutely not be so senile as to be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion!

"Still not coming out? Which Fellow Daoist is it exactly?"

"If you are still unwilling to appear, then I shall take my leave first, hmph!"

"If you want to play god and act like a ghost, then I have no leisure time to play with you, farewell!"

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant snorted angrily a few times, even spouting some harsh words, then turned to leave, not even having time to collect the corpse of Shuda, the spoils of war, as he headed toward the distance.

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant wanted to flee from here, far away from this place that made him feel extremely dangerous.

Because of the previous battle, the spatial coordinates of this area were all in chaos; he could not teleport away directly and could only move far away from this place before he could escape into space.

And the distance that usually wouldn't even take a single breath felt exceptionally long at this moment.

First step.

There was nothing unusual in the surroundings, and his performance was flawless.

Second step.

The person hiding in the dark did not appear, and his heart eased slightly.

But just as the Nine-Eye Divine Servant was about to take the third step and soar into the sky, he heard a soft laugh.

"Hehe, you say I am hiding my head and showing my tail, yet I clearly haven't hidden at all."

Not behind him, not beside him, but... right in front of him!

But there was clearly nothing in front of him!!!

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant felt the blood in his entire body turn cold, and he made his choice after only a moment of hesitation.

Charge!!!

He was no longer timid, deciding to force a breakout!

Boom!

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant blasted a palm strike forward, not even looking at the result, and then charged toward the right side.

Whoosh—

Although the Divine Servant's injuries were extremely severe, he still erupted with astonishing speed at this instant.

But just as he was about to escape this area, he suddenly froze in place.

!!!

"Wha... t..."

He stopped directly in mid-air, unable to take another step forward, as if someone had cast an Immobilization Technique on him; except for his thoughts, which did not cease, he could not move a single bit.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave; I still have questions I haven't finished asking." The youth's teasing laughter echoed in his heart, making the Nine-Eye Divine Servant's already heavy mood even darker.

His intuition was correct; the other party's strength indeed far exceeded his own.

At least an expert of the Ask Dao Realm!

And to be able to leave him with no power to fight back, is it Ask Dao Late Stage? Or Ask Dao Peak?

Or could it be...

Just as the Nine-Eye Divine Servant was pondering, in front of him, in the previously empty forest, a bewitching figure appeared.

!!!

But when the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant saw the other party's appearance clearly, his heart and spirit were shaken.

Because he discovered that this was not any face he was familiar with, but a young girl he had never seen before.

... A young girl!?

No!

The voice heard just a moment ago was clearly that of a young boy, how could it be a young girl?

Snap.

Accompanied by the sound of the young girl rubbing her two fingers together, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant regained his freedom and crashed from mid-air to the ground.

He was silent for a moment; he did not think about fleeing again, but he did not grovel either, and asked in a deep voice: "... Who are you? Why do you want to stop me?"

Daoist Ren, who had borrowed Dong Yushu's body after obtaining permission, was amused upon hearing this and laughed: "It's one thing that you're blind, but are your ears deaf too? How many times have I said it? I have something to ask you."

"Or is it that your brain isn't working too well either?"

Nine-Eyed Divine Servant: Of course I didn't forget!

"What... exactly do you want to ask?"

"Don't worry, I just want to ask, how exactly did that so-called Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord of yours make you transform from a human into a demon? Is it the so-called 'Transformation Demon Art'?"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant was still looking disdainful at first, not feeling that the other party had the qualifications to ask about the Divine Lord's affairs, but when he heard "Transformation Demon Art," his pupils trembled violently.

"How did you... No!" The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant's expression changed drastically; he did not expect that he would perform so poorly and reveal so much information.

But by the time he realized he should hide his loss of composure, Ren Yidao had already obtained the answer he wanted.

"It really is this technique..." Ren Yidao raised an eyebrow, not expecting that he would happen to find a clue to this technique here.

The "Transformation Demon Art" actually did not have much impact, especially after he promoted the fusion of human and demon, it was even more inconsequential and not a matter of vital importance, but it had made him care for a long time; however, the person behind the scenes was too cautious and had never let him catch a handle.

"You! No! You! Could it be that you are also..."

Ren Yidao blinked at him and smiled: "Oh? Finally guessed it? Not bad, although your memory is a bit poor, you aren't too stupid yet."

Having received Ren Yidao's confirmation, the heart that had been hanging in the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant's chest was completely dead...

No!

You, a dignified Immortal God, why would you come to target a small Divine Servant like me!!?
