"Grug!" Trueblack Ancient's vision almost blacked out as he spat a mouthful of blood, kneeling on the ground in all fours. Even breathing was hard for him now, as the last attack damaged his vital organs severely.
Jin Rou was serious in taking the ancient's life. However, he was taking his time. It looked like he wanted the ancient to suffer first before dying, leaving an unbearable humiliation the ancient would take until his next life, if there was.
"Kill me if you dare!" After a few moments of trying to catch his breath, Trueblack could finally speak and said those daring words.
This unexpected and calamity-inducing variable named Jin Rou had ruined all his plans. And worse, he was in this situation where he didn't know if he would survive or not. If Jin Rou hadn't joined the fray, he would already have killed Owner Bu and took the world treasure.
"Of course, I will." Jin Rou answered with a smile on his face, "But you need to suffer first before dying. Isn't it too early for you to die?"
"!" What Jin Rou said made Trueblack tremble in fear. He didn't know but he could feel the killing intent creeping in his skin. He tried to remember all the memories hidden within his mind to recognize if he met this young man in the past. But no matter how many times he rack his brain, he couldn't truly remember.
In actuality, Jin Rou had no grudge against this ancient. After all, how could they meet when this was his first time here in Starlight? But when he saw the inner heart of the latter, he couldn't help but be enraged.
"I can sense the devil qi in you. Thus, I knew you and your constellation have something to do with the Devils." Jin Rou coldly said, "Isn't it enough for you to suffer a fate worse than death?"
"!!" This time, Trueblack paled and revealed a horrified expression. Jin Rou had already answered the question in his mind. And the answer was quite unexpected that it shook him to the core. He wanted to deny this notion but the words were stuck in his throat for some unknown reason.
How was that possible that this young man find it out? Trueblack was so sure that he had hidden this secret well as it would spell a total destruction against their constellation.
This secret was the last thing the world should know. After all, if they reveal this secret to just anyone, the wind would surely carry it out in all four corners of Starlight and be the main topic and target of disdain and humiliation.
"Time to suffer." Jin Rou was getting bored now of this little charade and wanted to begin the torture.
Trueblack's face was drained with blood. He gritted his teeth and wanted to fight back but he knew it would be useless. Thus, he closed his eyes and readied himself of this incoming fate. Maybe this was his retribution for all the things he had done in the past up to this date.
However, just when Jin Rou was about to deliver the sentence, the calm void trembled and a figure appeared. It was a young man wearing dark robes. His appearance was capable of toppling any beauties and handsome guys in this world. In fact, he could be described as the epitome of asexuality.
He walked out of the void and each step consisted of millions of dao laws, capable of tearing everything in a mild and soft manner. One look and you would mistake him for a scholar if not for the devilish aura he was emanating. Another thing worthy of taking of note of was that he was releasing an aura of eternity capable of creating storms and tsunamis with just a move of a finger.
"Dao Brother, please excuse my intrusion." The man in the dark robe said. His voice was also soothing in one's ears, capable of being a song with each and every word.
"Mad Star… you…" Trueblack was surprised and at the same time, relieved. The strongest being in their constellation had finally arrived, "I thought you aren't going to show up."
It turned out that Mad Star Ethereal had personally came into being this time even though the ethereal was still in a seclusion. With the ethereal coming here personally, the situation looked really grave and unfavorable on Black Star's end.
"…" Mad Star ignored Trueblack and looked at Jin Rou once again with a smile, "Dao Brother, I have seen your peerless abilities and this time, we are conceding defeat. How about I show you in personally and talk about these matter on the table?"
The ethereal was pointing out one thing. Mad Star didn't want to offend this young man any longer. As an ethereal himself, he knew that Jin Rou wasn't an ordinary junior of any constellation. Thus, though the loss was grave, he was willing to swallow this anger and frustration for the sake of survivability of his constellation and in fact, he was also willing to compensate if the amount was reasonable.
Isn't it weird? Owner Bu was the one who initiated the attack and trespassed their territory, killing many. Yet the former was still about to be compensated? However, the constellation had no choice. Mad Star knew that they kicked a golden plate this time around. If not, he wouldn't bother coming out of his critical seclusion.
"No." Jin Rou shook his head, clearly refusing the intent, "Your ancient there and you have been tempted by the Devils. And I know you are very aware of their existence and origin."
"…" Mad Star's expression changed. But it only lasted for a second before regaining his usual expression, "Dao Brother, that matter is…"
"You don't need to explain anymore." Jin Rou coldly interrupted the ethereal, "The moment you guys had made the deal with a Devil, your fate has already been sealed. So let's stop this nonsense and settle this as soon as possible."
