Chapter 198 - The Stray Dog Blood Fiend Saint
Blood Fiend Saint's complexion was now as pale as snow. The moment he figured out Ling Chen's true identity, he knew that he had kicked a steel wall. Not a regular one at that, but the thickest and the sturdiest one.
He couldn't believe he was going to die. He couldn't believe he was this unlucky to meet this demon fiend.
If he knew that it was this demon fiend that had killed his subordinates, even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't dare try to take revenge.
In fact, if he knew those bastards were going to rob this little devil, he would have killed them himself. However, no matter how much he regretted his decision, there's no way he could turn back time and undo his action. There's no medicine for regret.
Looking at the frightening expressions on the Blood Fiend Saint's face, Ling Chen's mouth curved upward into an evil smile as he added. " It seems like you've seen something that you shouldn't."
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Blood Fiend Saint almost jumped out from his seat. At the same time, his expression suddenly changed as if he was bitten by a poisonous snake or his tail has been stepped on as he hurriedly said." No, no, no I swear didn't see anything, my lord."
Blood Fiend Saint already knew that Ling Chen was being chased by the remaining Eight Ancient Families as well as Thunder Demi-God Ye. As such, if Ling Chen knew that he had discovered his true identity, there's no way he would let him live.
Even though he knew his situation wasn't hopeful before, he still had a little bit of hope. But if Ling Chen found out that he knew his secret, then his death was assured.
He might be a 5th Tribulation Martial Saint, but he was powerless in front of someone like Ling Chen. He was like a baby facing a full-grown adult.
At this moment, he couldn't do anything but bend down. This little devil was even able to kill the projection of a Demi-God and completely annihilated one of the Nine Ancient Families, let alone a little 5th Tribulation Saint like himself.
"Ohh well, it doesn't matter. It's not like I was trying to hide." Ling Chen smilingly said.
It's true. The reason he changed his eyes was that it attracted attention wherever he went. It wasn't because he was afraid of the Eight Ancient Families of the Demi-Gods.
With his power and various abilities, even if he might not be able to kill a Demi-God, they wouldn't be able to kill him either.
Swoosh!
After saying that, his eyes suddenly changed back to its true appearance. He now showed a pair of eyes that gave the impression that he could see through everything and anything.
A pair of eyes that was capable of tearing everything in the world and even devouring the Heaven and Earth.
Before this pair of eyes, everything in this world became insignificant.
There's nothing that could be hidden from this pair of eyes. Whether it be something as large as a mountain or as tiny as a microbe.
Looking at Ling Chen's eyes, Blood Fiend Saint became even more horrified. He felt as though everything about him was exposed. Even his deepest secrets and his inner thoughts. In front of this pair of eyes, there was no place for him to hide.
To him, Ling Chen's pair of eyes was even more terrifying than that of the devil, especially the red one.
Although he was a little bit short temper, Blood Fiend Saint wasn't that stupid. The moment Ling Chen revealed himself to him, he understood that his fate was sealed.
Right now, the notorious Blood Fiend Saint who had terrorized the entire Black Iron City felt as though he had become a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered or a fish on a chopping board.
He was scared a shitless as cold sweats were dripping down his forehead despite the cold temperature in the room.
Despite the friendly and amiable smile on his face, Blood Fiend Saint was looking at Ling Chen as if he was looking at the most horrifying monster. In all his life, he has never felt that kinda terrifying and overwhelming fear before. To make matter worse, that overwhelming fear was induced by a little fifteen years old boy.
Realizing that his fate was sealed and he was doomed to die today anyway, Blood Fiend Saint Suddenly became resolute and decided to fight for his life. He really didn't want to die. The higher one cultivation was, the more afraid they were of death.
With this close distance between them, Blood Fiend Saint didn't believe that he couldn't sneak attack Ling Chen and killed him. Even if he were to fail to kill him in one blow, he would still be able to injure him heavily which would give him enough time to run away.
As he was about to make his move, Ling Chen's nonchalant voice suddenly rang out in his ears."You can leave now. I decide to spare your life."
Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, Blood Fiend Saint who was about to make his move felt as though he was hit by a lightning bolt. Not even him, even Azure was surprised as well.
Still, Blood Fiend Saint didn't dare move from his chair or attack Ling Chen. He felt as if Ling Chen already about his plan due to the timing.
At the same time, he thought that Ling Chen was only making fun of him by giving him a false hope like a predator playing with his prey.
Seeing the expression on Blood Fiend Saint's face, Ling Chen already knew what he was thinking.
"I am always true to my words, you can leave now. However, if you want to die that badly, you can stay there for another second and I'll fulfill your wish." He coldly said with a frightening and murderous look on his eyes.
At this moment, Blood Fiend Saint didn't care anymore. He didn't care whether Ling Chen was lying or telling the truth. He suddenly got up from his seat and ran like a lightning bolt. He acted as if he had met ghosts as he ran with all his might.
After looking at the direction where Blood Fiend Saint had left, Ling Chen couldn't help but smile as he said. "Alright, let's go. I need to go to my room and call those little punks back to welcome their bothers."
"Master, why did you let him go?." Suddenly asked Azure as they were about to leave. She still didn't understand why Ling Chen let that man go when he had killed all of his subordinates. Wasn't he afraid that the old man would divulge his whereabouts?
"Ohh him, don't worry. I just need him to pass a message for me." Replied Ling Chen with a mysterious smile.
"Plus he's dead already, he just doesn't know that yet. He won't live past today." He added with a demonic smile on his face.
Though Azure didn't understand what Ling Chen was implying, she didn't pry any further as she followed him upstairs.
What she didn't know was that Ling Chen had already killed Blood Fiend Saint the moment he changed in his eyes to their true appearance with the stealth Curse Of Death.
The Curse Of Death was something that Ling Chen hadn't used ever since he had accidentally killed those maids when he was little back at the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Though Blood Fiend Saint didn't feel anything wrong with him, he was already cursed. In less than two hours, he would be consumed by darkness and there's no way he could do anything about it.
Meanwhile, the whole restaurant was still dead silent even after Ling Chen and Azure have left. Everyone held their breath; they didn't even dare to make a loud breathing noise as they were trying to digest what just happened.
Some of them even felt their legs became weak as they sat straight down on the ground after Ling Chen's departure.
....
A few miles away from Black Iron City, as Blood Fiend Saint was running away, he suddenly stopped after realizing that Ling Chen wasn't following him.
His face was still deathly pale. With his face filled with hatred, he looked at the city and chillingly said."Little bastard, this old man will make you regret not killing me today. I will make sure this city becomes your burial ground. Just you wait, I'll fucking tell the news of your whereabouts to the Eight Ancients Families."
His words were filled with hatred and poison like the curse of a viper. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. The Little bastard dared to make an esteem Martial Saint like himself run away like a stray dog? He might not be able to kill him, but he doubted that he could survive the combined power of the Eight Ancient Families.
