Once We've Set Our Sights on You, You Can Only Wait to Die!

His expression was uncertain and wary. Jiang Chen's display just now had truly given him a fright—Jiang Chen had actually sensed his presence!

It was only because Jiang Chen couldn't figure out where he was that he'd left in confusion.

Perhaps this is the ability of that Zombie Martial Soul, the boy thought, then followed in the direction Jiang Chen had gone.

His target had appeared. It was time for him to make his move.

A six-year-old boy drowning in a river was about as ordinary as could be. Surely no one would suspect that he'd been murdered.

By now, Jiang Chen had stripped off all his clothes and was submerged at the bottom of the river. The water was deep and full of fish, so catching them was easy for him.

Just then, he faintly heard footsteps approaching, accompanied by the presence of a living person.

This presence was much clearer than before. Jiang Chen knew someone was heading toward the riverbank.

The assassin boy walked to the riverbank and stopped beside the clothes Jiang Chen had left there, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding waters.

Jiang Chen looked up at the figure standing motionless on the water's surface, puzzled. Then he popped his head out of the water.

He stared at the boy in confusion and saw that the other was watching him with a strange look.

"You're Jiang Chen?" The boy's voice was cold.

The boy looked down at him, expressionless. His cold voice sounded almost like an interrogation.

Jiang Chen frowned, displeased by the strange boy's attitude. "I'm Jiang Chen. Who are you?"

Killing intent began to seep from the boy. He stared at Jiang Chen and said, "I'm the one sending you to hell!"

Before Jiang Chen could react, the boy leaped straight into the river and swam rapidly toward him.

"Damn, you lunatic!" Jiang Chen yelled, turning to flee.

The boy's icy killing intent made him realize this might not be a joke. He'd be an idiot not to run.

He was utterly bewildered. What was this boy thinking, trying to kill a six-year-old child like him?

He had questions, but in the rush of the moment, he had no time to think them through.

Jiang Chen swam fast, but the boy was faster. Propelled by the formidable Soul Power within him, the boy caught up to Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye.

It was Jiang Chen's first time being hunted, so it was only natural that he panicked. He could also sense that the boy was no ordinary opponent; beneath that killing intent seemed to lurk formidable strength.

Suddenly, the boy caught up to Jiang Chen, clamped both hands around his body, and forcefully pushed him underwater.

But the boy had clearly underestimated Jiang Chen's strength. His carelessness was bound to cost him.

As Jiang Chen struggled, he choked on several mouthfuls of water, but he also realized that the boy was actually weaker than he was.

After all, his physical strength alone was nearly a thousand jin. If he used his Soul Power, he could add several hundred jin more.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed. His immense strength erupted, and he wrenched the boy's hands free in a heartbeat, then pushed him underwater instead.

The assassin boy was stunned. His mind was filled with shock and confusion as Jiang Chen held him firmly at the bottom of the river. He couldn't break free!

The immense force pressing down from above filled him with utter terror. This kid really was born with monstrous strength!
