With that statement, a handsome young man in white, holding a white jade fan and appearing to be in his twenties, stepped forward, smiling as he looked this way.
Seeing the young man appear, Lufan furrowed his brow. Despite the gentlemanly demeanor and refined appearance of the person before him, he certainly would not naively judge someone as good based solely on looks.
Not to mention that he had just launched a surprise attack without a word, Lufan felt something was off about the man's gaze. It exuded a sinister intent, much like a venomous snake lurking in the forest, sending an involuntary chill down his spine.
Coupled with the ominous words he had just spoken, Lufan had already roughly guessed the identity of the person before him.
Sure enough, as soon as this man appeared, Wang Yan's expression changed dramatically, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. She trembled uncontrollably: "Li Hao, it's you!"
"Long time no see, Yan'er, my pet. You’ve become even more beautiful. I apologize for being a bit late and for all the grievances you've suffered," Li Hao said gently to Wang Yan.
However, his tender words brought no warmth to Wang Yan. She began to struggle, trying to retreat and distance herself from this demonic man, even if just a little.
Unfortunately, she was tightly bound to the tree, making it extremely difficult to move at all. There was no way she could back away; she could only futilely scrape her skin against the ropes, leaving behind bloody marks.
"Don't torture your body like this." Seeing Wang Yan in such a state, Li Hao feigned concern. "After all, this body belongs to me. If it gets damaged, I would be heartbroken."
"No! Don't come any closer! Stay away from me, you demon!" Wang Yan shouted loudly.
"That won't do. I came here this time to take you back. It's time for some things to be reclaimed," Li Hao maintained his sympathetic facade.
"Please!" Suddenly turning her head towards Lufan, Wang Yan cried out in desperation. "You must kill me! Absolutely don’t let me live! I can't go back with him!"
Lufan was somewhat moved. Just moments ago, this woman had clearly seen through life and death, her expression calm. However, after the appearance of this young man in white, her emotions became so intense, as if she was desperately seeking death. What on earth had this man done to her?
Yet, he did not move or speak; instead, he cautiously stared at Li Hao. This person gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, even more so than Black-hearted Tiger had ever made him feel. He still could not comprehend how that attack had such powerful force from such a distance.
Li Hao also turned his attention to Lufan, speaking in a gentle tone, "Young brother, you must not act recklessly. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that when I get angry later, I won't tear you apart..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, Lufan suddenly moved. He strode over to Wang Yan's side and without hesitation plunged his dagger into her heart!
After piercing her heart, Lufan did not even glance back. His figure flashed as he dashed into the nearby forest, fleeing wildly!
Li Hao stood there dumbfounded until Lufan disappeared into the trees. He quickly rushed to Wang Yan's side to check her injuries.
What he saw filled him with rage. That single stab had completely extinguished Wang Yan's life force. Her eyes quickly dimmed, and just before dying, she wore a faint smile—partly in gratitude towards Lufan and partly in mockery of Li Hao.
Finally free from this demon and leaving this damned world behind, she hoped that the boy could escape. Unfortunately, she would never know his name. With that thought, Wang Yan's consciousness faded away completely.
"Ahhh! I will make you pay for this!"
Seeing Wang Yan dead, Li Hao's eyes turned red. His handsome face twisted in horror as a terrifying aura erupted from his body. He rapidly pursued the direction where Lufan had fled!
Having already escaped into the forest, Lufan certainly heard Li Hao's roar and was not surprised.
Just before piercing Wang Yan's heart, he had sent a surge of internal energy into her body to completely shatter her heart veins, ensuring her certain death.
With Li Hao's arrogance, it was only natural for him to go mad at someone destroying what belonged to him right in front of him.
Although the sense of crisis that Li Hao gave him was even stronger than that of the Black-hearted Tiger, since he had already escaped into the forest, it was like a dragon entering the sea. With Lingbo Weibu, he was confident he could completely shake him off in the vast mountains and woods!
However, just as Lufan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and his body jolted. That feeling of being attacked reappeared, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
Boom!
The ground in front of him suddenly exploded, sending countless dry leaves and mud flying.
"Kid, you can't escape! I will tear you to pieces!" At some point, Li Hao had already chased up to less than five yards behind him.
Lufan's eyes narrowed sharply. This time he saw clearly that what attacked him was actually a highly concentrated ball of air! When this ball of air hit the ground, it exploded violently, causing such terrifying destructive power.
Feeling a tingling sensation again, Lufan dodged once more. This time he took the opportunity to glance back and indeed saw some strange symbols appearing on Li Hao's hand.
This guy turned out to be a talisman master!
Lufan was immediately shocked. He didn't know much about talisman masters, but he understood that anyone who could become one would possess some peculiar abilities. Who knows what kind of powers this guy had.
There weren't many talisman masters, and their heritage was mysterious and unpredictable. He had no idea how Li Hao obtained his abilities.
Lufan didn't have time to consider any of this; all he knew was that he was in big trouble!
He had no intention of turning back to fight. Facing an enemy with unknown abilities, such an action would undoubtedly be foolish. Moreover, the aura emanating from Li Hao was terrifying, even more so than during the peak period of the Black-hearted Tiger. Engaging him head-on would be akin to seeking death!
Lufan could only keep fleeing, desperately dodging amidst the complex surroundings.
Highly compressed energy spheres formed in Li Hao's hands and were hurled at Lufan, exploding upon impact and creating gusts of wind. It was like a human cannon, and Lufan could hardly fathom the power behind it.
Li Hao's face darkened. He had thought that with his strength, he could easily kill this kid. To his surprise, Lufan possessed a high-level movement technique known as Secret Technique, slipping away like a slippery eel and managing to evade his energy blasts at critical moments. After a minute had passed, he had not managed to injure him at all.
However, he could not simply give up. Wang Yan was of great use to him, playing an irreplaceable role in perfecting his Secret Technique. Now that this kid had killed him right in front of him, the murderous intent in his heart was nearly overwhelming his reason.
He had to make this kid suffer; otherwise, how could he resolve the hatred in his heart?
With a fierce determination, Li Hao intensified his attacks.
The two of them engaged in a chase through the forest, causing chaos as birds flew and beasts scattered in all directions.
Seeing that he couldn't escape no matter what, Lufan gritted his teeth and gradually changed his course towards a high mountain. He remembered that place and hoped to use the terrain there to completely shake off Li Hao.
Soon, they reached the top of the mountain. Suddenly, a deafening sound echoed as they discovered that on the other side of the mountain was a massive waterfall!
And this was exactly where Lufan intended to use to escape from Li Hao.
