"Big fool, those legs are not bad; you run pretty fast!" The Thin Ghost saw Liu San suddenly cut in half and, still in shock, felt his own legs detach from his body.
"You..." Looking at his two brothers, who had been at an advantage moments ago but were now incapacitated, Boss Gong's triumphant smile froze on his face.
"Alright, now no one is here to disturb us." With a kick, he sent the Thin Ghost and Liu San aside and swiftly moved to the giant rock where Xiao Hei stood. At that moment, besides the net, there was no sign of Xiao Hei.
"Ah! What have you done?" The sharp pain in his mind brought Boss Gong back to reality.
"Well, nice net; it should be good for fishing," Mo Wen remarked as he examined the net in his hands before storing it away in his storage bag.
To be able to instantly sever a Treasure he had already refined—what kind of Realm is this person from? It can't be possible. This is the rule of the underground world; those above the level of Cultivators cannot enter. How did the second and third die? Boss Gong dared not think further and, disregarding the pain in his mind, turned to flee.
"Tsk tsk! Running off just like that? Do you think I'm just a decoration?" With one hand gripping his blade, Mo Wen flashed forward in pursuit.
"Kid, don’t push me too hard!" Feeling the pursuer closing in, Boss Gong quickened his pace.
"What are you afraid of? Go ahead and show me your desperation! I forgot to mention—I don't leave any loose ends," Mo Wen shouted as he swung his blade down toward Boss Gong's neck. If it connected, it would surely split him in half. However, Mo Wen knew this man was not easy to kill; this strike was merely to force him to stop.
"You dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of the Gong Family's revenge?" Gong Gan lay on the ground, utterly exhausted. The person before him had several chances to kill him but chose instead to torment him until he could barely move. Now he simply closed his eyes.
"The Gong Family? Afraid? Of course I'm afraid; you scared me," Mo Wen replied with a mocking look at Gong Gan.
"Then why don’t you let me go? I promise I won't seek revenge once I’m out," Gong Gan said eagerly as he opened his eyes, as if seeing a glimmer of hope shining upon him.
"Alright, your mission is complete; you can go join your two brothers now." With that, Mo Wen swung his blade down and kicked Gong Gan's head into the rolling Lava below.
Standing on a rock at the edge of the mountain, Xiao Hei watched the two below with confusion. To him, they seemed like madmen—one chasing while the other fled, occasionally stopping to fight. Several times they ventured deeper into the sea of Lava but always returned shortly after. It seemed there were moments when escape was within reach for the one fleeing.
If Gong Gan knew what Xiao Hei was thinking, he would surely be infuriated. If he had a chance to escape, he would have done so long ago instead of repeatedly turning back. Each time he tried to flee into the Lava to shake off his relentless pursuer, he found himself unable to stay long due to his Xing Zhou being with Liu San. Even in the Ning Shen Realm, one could not remain in such scorching Lava for long. Within his capabilities, this island was the only place where he could land safely. Thus, every time he attempted to escape only led him back helplessly. Unable to fight back or flee successfully left Gong Gan feeling incredibly frustrated; at the moment of losing his life, he even felt a sense of relief.
Looking at Gong Gan's headless corpse on the ground, Mo Wen let out a long breath. Today marked his first kill.
