Chapter 117: Chapter 113: The Law-Figure-World Belonging to the Demon Servant (6000 words, two Chapters combined)_2

Upon learning that the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group had marked him as their prey, Ye Hanjun’s previous reluctance to get involved changed dramatically.

Turn right, turn left, straight down, another right, then left...

Pressing forward, sprinting constantly.

Occasionally, monsters pass by, but as the darkness twisted slightly, even the fierce Fond Spirits would hurriedly flee to other paths in panic.

In the dark, a disturbed Wang Xinfei, who could barely see and felt that something was wrong, widened her red eyes in fear.

As she looked at the silhouette of the man in front of her, she felt an increasing sense of strangeness.

"Swosh."

The light in front suddenly came on.

After turning the last corner, the surrounding space suddenly became open and spacious.

On the stone wall, scattered around were tiny Phosphor Stones like rice grains, often found in deep underground pits.

These stones emitted light and nourished special underground plants. Wherever they were found, small amounts of ore and Spiritual Medicines were often discovered as well.

"Alright, it’s here."

Ye Hanjun stopped and tried to control his breathing.

This body, ultimately, could not withstand prolonged physical exertion.

He was panting from just a few kilometers of travel...

"Assistant Han, are we just going to hide here?"

"What about the mark? You know more about it, is there a special way to remove or cover it?"

Sun Houbing and Hu Linlin, both wore tense expressions, and asked anxiously.

Ye Hanjun pulled Wang Xinfei along and took two steps towards the pair, his face suddenly hardened as he said in a stern voice, "Watch your backs!"

Sun Houbing and Hu Linlin shivered in fear.

Before they had the chance to see the shadowy figures hiding in the darkness, they felt a rush of wind from behind. Their necks went numb and they fell to the ground like two piles of mud.

"Assistant Han?!"

Li Jingming’s pupils shrank in surprise, completely unable to comprehend why Ye Hanjun would do such a thing.

"Li Jingming, I have a task for you."

"From now on, you just hide behind that largest rock and look after these two."

"No need to do anything else."

Ye Hanjun’s breathing gradually steadied and there was no sign of panic in his eyes. Everything seemed to be within his plan.

Li Jingming was taken aback, his furrowed brows slightly loosened.

He still didn’t understand the true intention behind Assistant Han’s words and actions.

However, he felt that Ye Hanjun’s killing intent was not directed towards them.

In that case, Li Jingming chose to remain silent, chose not to seek answers for now.

He and Ghost-Faced Moth each carried a body and moved towards the rocks on the side of the cave.

"As for you..."

Ye Hanjun fixed his gaze on Wang Xinfei’s face, pausing for a moment.

The look in his eyes was cold and emotionless. It was as if he was a wise beast. Within his chill, there was a touch of human thought.

"What... What are you trying to do..."

Wang Xinfei lowered her center of gravity and took two steps back.

Despite being a Horse Racing Knight and having superior physical abilities compared to others her age,

Despite wearing a Silver Armor and having the active ability to summon Protective Armor,

Wang Xinfei didn’t feel secure at all. As long as those dark eyes were watching her, she felt like a skinned lamb, completely exposed.

"I’m thinking ... whether to give you a chance ..."

"Deep down, I don’t want to make this choice because you are a big problem ..."

"But under these circumstances, I’m forced to use you ..."

"Once you have served your purpose, you will have seen another side of me. If you cannot pacify my worries by death, then your only choice is to submit to me, kneel at my feet, and become my direct disciple ..."

"What are you saying? I don’t understand!"

With a clang, Wang Xinfei raised her Long Spear, the tip of which faintly radiated a dazzling light.

She kept retreating, her full chest heaving as she breathed deeply, trying to quell her fear.

"Li Jingming, I appreciate you, so I give you the freedom to choose your path from now on."

"Wang Xinfei, I don’t appreciate you a lot, but after some thought, I decided to give you one opportunity to choose between life and death."

Ye Hanjun, standing at the boundary between the cave entrance and the corridor, his eyes sparking with life.

His eyes, those black and icy eyes, whether the pupils or the whites, all turned as black as ink in an instant.

Li Jingming, who had finished carrying the bodies, and Wang Xinfei, who was still holding up her Long Spear, shivered in unison.

They widened their eyes, unable to believe their eyes as they watched endless darkness envelop Ye Hanjun’s body from all sides.

He just stood there, his hollow and desolate eyes staring at them.

The impression he gave was like a king standing in the dark, mysterious and noble, cold and ruthless. From head to toe, every square inch of him, underwent a change that seemed to turn the world upside down.

"Boom!"

There was no sound to the ear, but thunderbolts rang in their spiritual world.

At Ye Hanjun’s feet, all the soil and rocks disappeared, and a deep, ink-like darkness quickly covered all areas.
