The poor youth’s left shoulder, which was already fractured, severely broke under the black shadow’s claw!
Fine, it was he who made things worse for himself! Even now, Duan Yue was still dumbfounded and did not understand why he had been hotheaded enough to use his own flesh as a shield for this stoic child!
Especially when he turned back and saw the child’s stoic face devoid of any expression—he had to chuckle in ridicule!
Qiao Mu’s eyes flashed as she took a step back, finally seeing the assailant clearly. It was a middle-aged man dressed entirely in black with a short beard. A savage light glinted in his small eyes as he intently stared at the round bead in her hand.
“Hand over the Heart of Paradise, and I will spare your life, child,” the middle-aged man in black coldly stated with one hand behind his back, his eyes downcast.
The corner of Qiao Mu’s lips turned up. She suddenly clutched the round bead in her palm and held her hand high above her, a pure white light made from mystic energy emitted from her palm, tightly encasing the round bead.
The child’s apathetic face paired with her cruel eyes stunned everyone instantly.
Duan Yue glanced at the man in black before snorting. He wanted to retake something that ended up in this child’s possession? The youth was amazed at how naive he was at such an old age.
“You can all try! Will you guys steal it faster or will I destroy it faster! If worse comes to worst, we break it off, and no one wins!” the child declared as she frostily stared at the man in black.
Even if she was being covetously stared at by the disciples brought by the man in black, the child’s face remained stoic without a trace of change. However, the cruelty in her bright eyes radiated everywhere, and her back was ramrod straight, her claws on full display.
“Great! Absolutely wonderful!” The middle-aged man maliciously glared at the child as he brutally mocked, “You are quite ruthless, child! It appears you have some nerve! Tell me, what terms do you want in exchange for the Heart of Paradise?”
“You can’t give it to him! Ghost Saber! You old punk! I was the one who discovered the paradise first, yet your Ghost Sect wants to stick its foot in? Forget it!”
“Humph! The treasure is here, we will all have to rely on our own strength! Yao Ji, although treasure is wonderful, don’t put the cart before the horse and lose your life over some treasure. You should seriously think about whether it’s worth it or not!”
“Ghost Saber!” Yao Ji was so angry that her eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. However, the current situation was not in her favor. She did not have half as many people as Ghost Sect, and her cultivation could not contend with Ghost Saber’s; therefore, she could do nothing except watch on helplessly from the side.
The child’s eyes were as bright as splendid jewels, glowing like the stars as they coldly landed on the greedy people in front of her. Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, she tossed the precious bead into her mouth before everyone’s eyes and swallowed it with a gurgle.
Duan Yue watched on, stupefied. This child seemed to be even more vicious than he imagined!
As for Ghost Saber and Yao Ji and co., they were all startled and caught off guard. When they regained their senses, each and every one of their faces contorted!
Ghost Saber drew the Ghost Head Saber from his waist and was about to attack, infuriated beyond words.
Qiao Mu covered her waist with her hand and icily told him, “Attack! Attack me! Do you trust that I will immediately self-detonate and cause you to lose everything! Not only will you not obtain your treasure, but you will also all die along with me!”
Everyone looked at her, stunned.
Duan Yue felt like the child’s every move rewrote his outlook on life over and over again!
Is this still a child? Huh? Is this degree of viciousness normal?
