Chapter 55: The Present Situation
A dense forest near the city in the southeast coastal zone of the Zhongzhou mainland.
At noon, the scorching sun hung high above the forest, like a burning wheel, rolling to release its heat. However, the thick dark green canopy blocks most of the dry heat, and the shrubs and trees make it quiet, shady and comfortable.
But behind the shade of this noonday, there are two restless demonic aura. Only by peeling back the layers of leaf shadows can we see the true faces of these two demons fighting each other.
Silver clothes and yellow velvet, delicate ears and sharp claws. Moving like a thunderbolt between the tree trunks and bushes is a cat demon as big as a yellow dog, jumping from one trunk to another, as if it has pressed a magnet on its body, "attracted" to another foothold - fast and accurate.
The cat demon's light and agile figure is certainly elusive, but the black-robed figure chasing it is more like a ghost.
The man wrapped his whole body in the black robe of the hunt, and his dark face was shadowed with a gaze like a ghostly candle. Between his gestures, the long black sleeves poured out a thick dark green, and his body was like a ghost who summoned spirits, omnipresent, and it was difficult to get rid of it.
"Huh-" In the chase battle of one cat and one person, the man in black kept intercepting the direction where the cat demon might change direction and escape, and the distance between the two demonic qi was getting closer and closer. Finally, an object resembling a snake shot out from inside the black-clad man's robe, shattering three branches in succession.
The falling broken branches were extremely sharp, shrouding the path of the cat demon, causing obstacles to it.
And in the subtle moment before this blow was completed, the snake shadow swirled slightly in the air, swimming like scales, and the fine blood beads hidden in it splattered towards the shattered stumps and leaves, and surrounded the cat demon together with the falling branches.
"The red-blooded spirit medium, the slight mystery is inside, explode!" The cold male voice that coincided with the cold temperament of the man in black came from under the hood, and with the sound of fine water droplets popping one after another, the silver-skinned cat demon screamed and fell to the ground with serious injuries.
The whole body of the cat demon, which has been in a state of afterimage, is now clearly exposed to nature.
"Silver Cat Demon, your demon life is over. The man had a tiptoe and fell lightly to the ground. Seeing that the limbs of his prey were covered with blood and could not move, he took off his hood.
Exposed to the light of the forest, there is a handsome and fair-skinned thin handsome face. His eyes were glowing with a deep dark green light.
Dark green eyes, blood drop array, black scales, ghost figure method, it's not Su Hao, who else can it be?
"Despicable human, I just want to save my mate with the heart of fluorescent, you and I have no grievances, why would you want to hunt me down to such a situation. One corpse with three lives, you are so ruthless?" was cornered, and the cat demon actually spat out people's words. His vertical pupils shrank and relaxed, making ordinary people feel furious when they saw it.
"One corpse, three lives, of course I know that the Fluorescent Heart is a forbidden technique of your clan, and non-salvation hearts will not use it," he said coldly, "But you cat demon clan is cruel by nature, in order to gather the energy of life to perform the technique of returning to the sky, in one night, you monster ate eight fetuses that are still in the incubator!"
Speaking of this, he was filled with righteous indignation, and his appearance squeezed out extreme hatred: "So I not only want to kill you to take your heart, but also let your lair blood river hang on the wall!"
Between the words, Su Hao's hands moved quickly, and he quickly changed his skills, and the power of the remaining blood droplets left on the cat demon's body collectively vaporized, becoming a blood prison connected to his skin and flesh.
Seeing that he was seriously injured and completely bound, the silver cat demon did not show a trace of begging for mercy. His yellow vertical pupils turned into the most terrifying shapes, and he said in a bitter and bitter voice:
"Okay! Human race, if you kill our family today, the evil spirits of our family will possess you, so that you will not be at peace in this life, in this life, in eternity, and forever! Wait for death!"
Immediately, his heart* glowed white, which was the precursor to the self-detonation of his heart. Su Hao was calm, the cuff of his left hand seemed to be pulled by the wind, and the three split exoskeletons were bloody!
With a "whoosh", they pierced the cat demon's heart, and in the moment of his consternation, he plucked out his heart with three legs!
Three seconds later, the cat demon's pupils lost their lustre. A heart that emitted a faint glow of fluorescence also landed on Su Hao's palm after the blood touch returned to its shape.
Su Hao was entrusted by his black market employer to kill demons and take his heart. As a result of its rarity, and the loss of its effectiveness from the moment it touched the air, he quickly put the glowing heart, which was still hot, into the treasure box he had prepared earlier, and closed the lid.
The next step is to take the black leather bag and collect the corpse of the cat demon, which is the consistent process of collecting loot. Su Hao pinched the face of this thing and was still thinking: Aren't you going to turn into a powerful ghost and attach it to me?
With ghosts as companions and slaves as forces, Su Hao is used to all this.
More than half a year has passed since the night of the ashes in Z City. That night, when he was finishing the blood pill, he suddenly encountered a cave collapse, and hid in the furnace and narrowly escaped.
At that time, he was seriously injured, hungry and cold, and even almost suffocated to death; in the death realm, he gambled with the risk of dying by exploding his body, and forcibly swallowed the blood base that could be promoted to the innate realm based on the cultivation of the world's products. As a result, the meridians were directly broken by the explosive blood element power and fell into dormancy.
Three months later, Su Hao, who had been blessed by misfortune, broke through the dead barrier with blood element energy comparable to the heavenly grade and opened a way out of life in the ruins of the crypt. He sneaked into the urban area of Z City, and found out that he had been legally condemned as "death", and finally accepted it with all kinds of sighs.
He felt guilty about the Nanqi Society, but apparently the other party didn't know the whole truth and gave him a name for heroic righteousness, and he had no other way but to accept it. Could it be that he appeared alive in front of his relatives and friends and told them that Su Hao was not sacrificed as a demon exterminator, but was still alive as a monster?
Parents, Zhou Ziqi and Zhou Mu went to see him a few times, and he was grateful and hated that he couldn't show up. Because what's even more terrifying than letting his parents know about his death is knowing that he's a murderous monster.
So, Su Hao escaped into the deep mountains and old forests, far away from the jurisdiction of the province where Z City is located, and for three months, he had been doing improper business with the underground black market in this neighborhood to buy and sell monster organs, so as to make a living anonymously and concentrate on the cultivation of the essence of the sun and the moon.
Of course, he didn't have the training of the whip method and the blood drop formation, and the hand "hidden in the scales" just now was the killing move that he finally cultivated after two months of hard work.
Life is ordinary, but it's a little lonely.
Walking on the road and thinking back to the past, a period of time passed quickly, and Su Hao finally walked to the door of the black market exchange in an illegal area in the northwest of the city.
According to the codeword, enter a small shop that is ostensibly a jewelry store. With a mask under the brim of his hat, he showed the crate. The store manager and intermediary immediately contacted the employer, answered the phone, inspected the goods, and delivered the price agreed in advance - millions in cash.
A million is a lot of money. The rare silver-light cat demon devoured eight fetuses in the hospital for his partner in danger, and used forbidden techniques to condense the fluorescent heart, and Su Hao needed to find out the whereabouts of the cat demon before all the police, and kill the cat demon before he could rescue him or blow himself up, but keep it properly and send this valuable life-saving medicine to his employer.
Such a small chance is connected together, and the difficulty of action is even greater, and the value of the goods themselves is unlimited, so the price is one million.
Su Hao simply used his divine sense to check the money in the next black box, and his heart was correct, so he took the box and left. In the gloomy store, there was an eerie light flashing under the manager's dark sunglasses.
In the dilapidated small street, Su Hao walked quickly. Suddenly, he instinctively felt a hint of threat, and then his body suddenly shook, and there was a large hole in the blue smoke curling behind him.
He fell to his knees with a pretended shock and fell to his knees with a pop. Eight or nine gunmen poured out from the dark alleyway, each with black masks and braided hair, and skull earrings of uniform style.
The half-bald, half-draped leader with braided hair said to the little brother beside him: "Go and see if he is dead." β
The younger brother on his side stepped forward cautiously, and was kicked by the impatient leader on the way. The younger brother played with Su Hao's face, saw Su Hao's appearance of "pupils dilated and bleeding", and said positively: "Boss, you're dead." β
"Okay! What about a million?"
"It's also true. The younger brother opened the box and checked the money, and said happily.
"Hahahaha! The demon slayer is nothing more than that, he has worked hard to kill the monsters, and he is trembling and doing black market trading, and in the end it is not for us to solve the problem for the Skull Gang!" a group of younger brothers echoed casually, very happy.
"Stinky boys! That's your leader's vibrato! Have you learned it, that's how you use it with a thousand gold! This ticket has made a lot of money, and the boss invites you to try the fairy powder!"
The leader of the Skull Gang raised his right arm high in the middle of his thinness and ruthlessness, and naturally a group of crows echoed him.
"Kill people and seize money, do a good job!" Suddenly, a cold snort sounded from the encirclement of the Skull Gang, and everyone felt that their ears were malfunctioning, and they all looked at Su Hao, who was slowly standing up.
Su Hao's deception of the corpse immediately frightened the little brother who examined him into incontinence, and crawled out of the encirclement with his hands, feet and hips. Others are naturally confused.
But that leader is a ruthless character, as soon as he saw that Su Hao was not dead, without saying a word, he picked up a modified big black gun loaded with a box of vibrators and pointed it at Su Hao, and the rest of the people also scattered and shot at Su Hao with a pistol.
But will Su Hao be killed by a group of humans with guns?
His eyes were indifferent and unmoved, and his black robe was full of holes, and the body armor under it was full of waves: it was a special leather armor, with a liquid layer inside, and it was full of Su Hao's blood, which could be turned into a hard thin wall of blood, invulnerable.
"Scum. I saw Su Hao's face showing disgust, and his hand wrapped in ink gently brushed away the bullets that rushed to his face, and then, he controlled the wave of the whole body to repulse, and his expression was not hesitating!
The rain of bullets was absorbed and reflected by the blood wall layer in the leather armor, mercilessly enveloping this group of misguided young people who were no more than twenty-eight at most and nineteen at the smallest. After a burst of screams and blood splatters, the scum of the Skull Gang scrambled and sriwred, lying on their stomachs or lying down, and were scattered on the dark side streets.
The gust of wind has added a new ghost to this small street with a high crime rate.
Su Hao looked down at this group of disgusting corpses expressionlessly, and didn't even bother to add a mouthful of spit to them. He picked up his suitcase, turned and walked away.
It's not that Su Hao kills people without blinking, because this is the 21th time that he has been besieged and killed in the black market block in the past three months, and he has been intercepted by the forces of the Skeleton Gang five times. Otherwise, this gang with the courage to carry guns would not have only eight or nine people left.
It was only less than five minutes away that Su Hao stopped at the faΓ§ade of a hardware store. The owner of this shop is a muscular Mediterranean. Su Hao did not hide the black robe stained with blood stains and bullet holes all over his body, and walked straight in.
"Smack", he slapped the black box on the counter.
"Boss, 'Poison Sword Haoqing', it's time for delivery. He opened the black box containing millions in front of the boss, pinched bundles of about 400,000 in cash, and slowly put them on the counter.
The boss was very calm, he went into the depths of the store and took a rectangular box and gave it to Su Hao.
"All according to your orders, a full five catties of absolute spirit scatter have been fixed by Nanqing ore liquid. As long as it is a person below the golden pill who has a spiritual root, he will lose all his mana when he touches it, and he will die if he moves rashly. β
Su Hao opened the box meaningfully, glanced at the poison sword that had been customized for 600,000 yuan before and after, and pouted and smiled.
"Boss, you're the only one who can get so much Absolute Spirit. I won't examine the sword carefully, here is 400,000 cash, and all the rest of the price has been collected. With that, Su Hao put away the sword box and left without stopping for a moment.
At this time, the owner of the craftsman shop behind him said coldly: "Sir, take the liberty of asking, did you just kill and snatch this money? Old man, I do some serious business, but I don't want to be involved in the Skeleton Gang." β
Su Hao snorted coldly with his back to him, and said silently: "Don't worry, the Skeleton Gang has been wiped out, and this money is also from my transaction." In other words, you are still entangled in these things, they are all underworld forces, can anyone's money be clean? β
"Well, sir, walk slowly. β
Su Hao didn't say a word, burying his face in the darkness.
He walked a long way out of the black market block, and there was no shadow to trouble him again.
