Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1018 - 278: Slaying Black Peng Demon Venerate and the Green Lion Demon Venerable!_2
In its eyes, abandoning a brother to escape and stabbing a brother in the back were no different—both were the same.
It fell silent.
It was as if the camaraderie of these years... meant nothing, as though it were all wasted on a dog.
"It seems like your big brother never saw you as a true sibling," Fan Wu said as he approached the Black Peng Demon Venerate. His stature was laughably small compared to the demonic venerate, but the Ghost-Killing Path behind him loomed just as large.
The Ghost-Killing Path already had its Evil Qi Longsword raised high, and the Black Peng Demon Venerate happened to lift his head at this moment, staring at the longsword in its hands.
"I blame myself for being blind!" As the Black Peng Demon Venerate spat out these words, his tone was devoid of any emotion. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Even a will to live was absent.
All that was reflected in his eyes was a resolve to die.
For it knew that its death was inevitable, so what else could it do in such a situation?
As the Ghost-Killing Path swung the Evil Qi Longsword down, the large head of the Black Peng Demon Venerate... was, at that moment, thrown into the air.
Blood spurted sky-high!
When such a large head crashed to the ground, the system’s kill prompt immediately followed.
[You have successfully killed "One of the San Qing Supreme Demons, Black Peng Demon Venerate", congratulations on receiving Free Attribute Points: 31.5!]
The Free Attribute Points obtained from killing a Black Peng Demon Venerate were very generous, reaching as high as thirty-one and a half points. Fan Wu was quite pleased with this bounty of points.
Who could have imagined that one of the renowned San Qing Supreme Demons, the Black Peng Demon Venerate, would die by Fan Wu’s hand—and all within the span of one night and a morning.
This also meant that within the San Qing Supreme Demons, two had already fallen to Fan Wu, leaving only the fleeing Green Lion Demon Venerable.
Fan Wu would not follow the King of Western Chu’s principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy to the end. What he admired was the notion that the remaining courage should be spent pursuing the defeated, rather than seeking vain glory in imitation of the King.
Without hesitation, Fan Wu chased after him, matching the Green Lion Demon Venerable’s speed and then some.
In the distance...
The Green Lion Demon Venerable, desperately sprinting for its life, turned its head back in a panic upon sensing strange noises behind it and was instantly stricken with fear so intense that its pupils shrank, its face etched with an expression of utter terror: "How did this guy take down the Black Peng Demon Venerate so quickly? What a waste that demon was, not even able to delay for the time it takes an incense to burn?"
At that moment, the Green Lion Demon Venerable felt like slicing the Black Peng Demon Venerate into pieces, although it vaguely knew that... its comrade was probably already dead.
That damned Black Peng Demon Venerate, not only had it brought Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple here, but now that very Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple was hot on its heels.
All this trouble was the Black Peng Demon Venerate’s fault—if it hadn’t taken it upon itself to trouble Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple, none of this would have happened.
If it had known earlier... it should have stopped the Black Peng Demon Venerate before it went after Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple. If the demon had insisted on meddling with that human, it should have killed the damn Black Peng Demon Venerate!
That way the tremendous trouble of today could have been avoided.
But unfortunately, there were no ’ifs’ in life, and no such thing as a pill for regret.
What terrified the Green Lion Demon Venerable even more was that Fan Wu of Qiu Long Temple was too fast! It had never seen a human run so incredibly fast. The pursuer’s speed was clearly superior, visibly closing the gap!
Mind you, the Green Lion Demon Venerable had a head start, yet it was still caught up to—how the hell could this guy... run so fast?
The Green Lion Demon Venerable simply couldn’t understand!
When Fan Wu was less than the final five hundred steps away, the Green Lion Demon Venerable couldn’t help but shout out, "We had no beef with each other to begin with, why push to such an extent today and not leave any room for survival? It wasn’t me who troubled you, it was the Black Peng Demon Venerate, it was the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable! How is it righteous or heroic to implicate the innocent? What kind of a moral person does that make you?"
"If you are willing to back down," the Green Lion Demon Venerable screamed out, which was no different from begging for mercy, "I can give you everything I have collected and managed over the years! Whether it’s treasures or power, I can give them all to you!" "If you can stop, I can even... call you big brother!"
"We can become sworn brothers right away... You be the eldest and I’ll be the second! From now on, if you want me to go east, I’ll go east; if you tell me to go west, I’ll go west. I will not say another word."
To save his life, the Green Lion Demon Venerable could utter such words.
One can imagine that this demon didn’t care about face at all.
But what made the Green Lion Demon Venerable almost curse his own birth was that the Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu behind him didn’t respond at all. Even though his attitude was so humble, the other party remained merciless.
Moreover, the surging murderous intent could be felt even from such a distance... It was clear that the Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu had set his sights firmly on him, with a resolute intent to kill that would not be easily shaken.
No, no! He couldn’t afford to waste time talking or to focus on what was behind him anymore; he had to concentrate on escaping, otherwise, he might be caught up to in the blink of an eye.
Just as the Green Lion Demon Venerable had such a thought and decided to escape with all his might...
He suddenly discovered that the Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu behind him had disappeared!
Suddenly!
A cold hand grabbed his enormous lion head, and that immense force directly pinned him to the ground! This caused the Green Lion Demon Venerable, who was running at full speed, to fall down unexpectedly.
Before he could regain his senses from that groggy state, he was fiercely made aware that his back had been pierced by a sharp weapon!
"Thud!"
"Hiss aaaaahhhhhhh!!!" It was the first time the Green Lion Demon Venerable let out such a scream, even louder and more agonizing than his third brother, the Black Peng Demon Venerable.
Out of nowhere, the Ghost-Killing Path had appeared behind the Green Lion Demon Venerable. One hand pressing down on the demon’s head while the other held the Evil Qi Longsword, thrusting it right through the Green Lion Demon Venerable’s back, pinning him harshly to the ground.
The Green Lion Demon Venerable had yet to even lift his head when the Ghost-Killing Path started to pound down with his fists in a frenzy.
"Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam!!!!!!!"
The dense sounds of fists colliding with flesh were like the intense patter of raindrops.
The Green Lion Demon Venerable had never been so embarrassed as he was today, nor had he ever been so severely injured.
At that moment, he felt as if every inch of his bones were shattered, every piece of flesh was battered until it was... as sticky as pulp. Every inch of his skin was signaling pain.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a figure approaching, a tiny figure, probably not even as big as his own eye, but he could clearly recognize who it was.
"Ah ah ah Qiu... Qiulong Temple ah ah ah ah... Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu!!!" The Green Lion Demon Venerable screamed while gritting his teeth, shouting out the five words "Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu."
The hatred mixed in his voice was clearly audible.
If looks could kill, Fan Wu might have died tens of thousands of times over.
Of course, the Green Lion Demon Venerable’s gaze could indeed kill, but only those of weaker strength.
For someone like Fan Wu, it was naturally completely ineffective.
"You will regret killing me! You will definitely regret it! The National Master is a close friend of mine; he will not let you go! You have no idea how powerful he is; you are not even on the same level as him. You can’t compete with him! You..."
"Thud!!"
Without any hesitation, Fan Wu severed the Green Lion Demon Venerable’s massive lion head, completely uninterested in listening to its blabber.
