If escape was impossible,
there would only be a dead end!
It felt like it had been running away for a while, and it should have reached a safe distance by now, right? After all, its precious daughter had held up that monster of a Taoist Priest for quite a long time. Logically, that Taoist Priest shouldn’t be able to catch up.
With that thought,
the pace of the Rat Immortal’s flight slowed down slightly, as it still felt extremely exhausted from running at full speed.
However,
just as its speed had slackened a bit, its tiny mouse eyes bulged enormously, a look of unthinkable expression written all over its embarrassed face.
Its gaze was fixed straight ahead, just like an ordinary person who had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
And then, somehow, Fan Wu...
had actually appeared in front of it.
It gasped in shock,
the hair on its body standing on end!
"You, you, you..." the Rat Immortal stammered in a voice full of disbelief, "How did you, a Taoist Priest, appear here?"
"Why wouldn’t I appear here?" Fan Wu, a living person, appeared to the Rat Immortal as if he were a ghost come to claim its life.
As Fan Wu stepped closer with every step, the Rat Immortal backed away step by step, full of horror and fear, its face showing only dread and fright.
"Taoist Priest... no! Daoist Priest! Daoist Priest!" The Rat Immortal had none of the swagger it showed when it had defeated Xing Fengzi who was possessed by the spirits. It only had fear and astonishment, as well as humility.
It begged for mercy repeatedly, "I dare not! I won’t do this again, I will never marry off daughters again!"
"I apologize!"
"I... I apologize to the people I’ve harmed! To the seventy-two sons-in-law in the Rat Immortal Cave, I will apologize to each of them. Then I’ll give them a good sum of money, set them all free, and let them all go home!"
"Daoist Priest, please... don’t come any closer!" Realizing that running away was futile, the Rat Immortal’s manner of speaking was already filled with a tone of crying out in despair.
Who would have thought, a seemingly common affair of marrying off a daughter would result in encountering such a terrifying monster?
The person in front of it wasn’t human at all!
He was a monster!
"If an apology were enough... what would be the need for a celestial department to enforce justice? What would be the need for laws?" Fan Wu said expressionlessly, after which he took a step and had already reached the Rat Immortal.
Such close proximity sent the Rat Immortal into a great panic. It hurriedly attempted to strike at Fan Wu, who was now within arm’s reach.
Unfortunately...
Fan Wu was faster!
He swung his hand back and slapped it across its mousey face. When that slap landed on the Rat Immortal’s face, it felt as if its face had been trampled by the hooves of ten thousand wild horses, and the fearsome power sent it flying to the side.
A few bloodied teeth had already flown out, eventually crashing hard onto the ground some twenty or so steps away.
Its head was somewhat dizzy.
Its ears were ringing.
As it struggled to stand up, an immense force came from behind its back, making it forcefully press against the ground, unable to stand up.
This was because Fan Wu had already stepped on its back, the tremendous force even cracking the ground beneath.
The Demon-slaying Sword had been drawn.
Fan Wu could no longer bother listening to what the male Rat Immortal wanted to say; he plunged his sword straight into the back of its head.
As the tip of the Demon-slaying Sword pierced its body, Fan Wu felt no resistance at all. It was as though the sword had stabbed into a puff of air.
It wasn’t that the male Rat Immortal had avoided it, but rather its frail body meant nothing against the Demon-slaying Sword.
[You have successfully slain a male Rat Immortal with hundreds of years of Daoist practice, congratulations on obtaining Free Attribute Points: 1.6!]
"1.6 Free Attribute Points, not too shabby."
Fan Wu raised an eyebrow.
He had thought that because the male Rat Immortal’s Power attribute was so much lower than his, it would not yield more than 0.5 Free Attribute Points. To his surprise, it actually gave out 1.6!
"Not bad."
Fan Wu slowly came back to his senses; he remembered that the other female Rat Immortal had fled in that direction.
...
"Damn it... damn it... damn it..." Unlike the male Rat Immortal’s complacency, the female Rat Immortal was still running for her life, even though she had already escaped a great distance.
The only consolation was... the Taoist Priest had not chased after her first but instead went after the old man of her family.
"I hope the old man proves useful and can delay that Taoist Priest for a while. Just hold him off for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and I can escape Zhengjian County! Once out of Zhengjian County, finding a Rat Immortal like me in the vast Great Zhou Dynasty would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
"Damn, this has been a huge loss!" the female Rat Immortal cursed through gritted teeth as she ran for her life, her expression grim: "Not only did I lose dozens of my rat children and grandchildren, but also a daughter and an old man, leaving me a lonely, widowed old woman."
"And furthermore..."
It took a moment to look down at the palm of its right hand. Its palm was now a bloody, fleshly mess, with shards of white bone piercing through the flesh in a horrifying display.
Even a glance at it made the Rat Immortal feel extremely uncomfortable, and the pain was still vividly remembered.
