No! How was this merely natural-born strength? He was a monster born that way!
At that moment, he already hated the investigator with all his heart. How could they have failed to look into such crucial information properly, and simply written down "natural-born strength"? Wasn't that setting him up to fail?
In terms of strength, even with all his Soul Power reinforcing him, he could barely manage close to a thousand pounds. But he could feel that this freakish child's strength had already surpassed a thousand pounds. How could he possibly resist?
If he didn't have an offensive Martial Soul, he would surely have died in this child's hands today, full of resentment.
The youth stopped struggling pointlessly. Soul Power surged through his body, and a sharp sword suddenly appeared in his left hand. He thrust it backward.
He didn't turn around, but his movements were as practiced as if he'd rehearsed them tens of thousands of times. The sword struck Jiang Chen squarely in the heart and sank deep.
He could no longer care about an accidental death. Otherwise, he'd be the one to die.
Seeing that the youth had given up struggling, Jiang Chen had felt a little reluctant to hurt him. But the next moment, a sharp pain seared through his nerves. He looked down and saw a sword had pierced his flesh and sunk into his heart.
The youth floated up and looked at Jiang Chen's stunned face, a trace of savagery in his expression.
"Why?" Jiang Chen stared at the youth and asked through clenched teeth.
He was just a child. Why did this youth want to kill him?
The youth's gaze was cold as he said softly, "Because someone wants you dead. What a pity. Such a powerful genius, cut down in his prime by my hand."
As he spoke, the sword in his hand withdrew and vanished into thin air. A great deal of blood gushed from Jiang Chen's wound.
"You're the one who should die!" Jiang Chen's voice turned icy. Under the youth's horrified gaze, he transformed into a Zombie.
His dark, shadowy eyes were like two bottomless abysses, as if they would suck the youth's soul right out of him.
The instant his transformation was complete, the wound on Jiang Chen's body disappeared. His black fingernails were sharp and pointed, and he drove them straight into the youth's abdomen.
Intense Corpse Poison erupted inside the youth. In an instant, he lost the ability to resist. His consciousness remained clear, but the poison had completely ravaged his body.
"How is this possible?!" the youth cried in terror, feeling the life force rapidly draining from his body.
He had rarely been as terrified as he was today. This child before him had repeatedly overturned everything he thought he knew.
He had thought this would be the simplest mission, that his target was just an ordinary child. But damn it, this child was the Grim Reaper!
Jiang Chen said nothing. He coldly dragged the youth onto the shore.
The youth's body had already been ravaged by the Corpse Poison, but Jiang Chen had protected his head. He still needed to get some answers out of him.
He was only six years old and had never left Holy Soul Village. Who exactly wanted him dead?
Until he got to the bottom of it, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace!
As the youth watched in terror, Jiang Chen calmly put on his clothes, then fixed the youth with a cold, scrutinizing gaze.
The youth felt bitter. On the brink of death, his hatred for the investigator had reached an unbearable pitch.
Normally, a professional assessor would hide at a distance to observe and record each assassination. But this time, because he thought the mission was too easy, the youth had refused to let the assessor follow him.
He was going to die here without a sound.
"Who wants me dead?" Jiang Chen asked in a chilling voice.
The youth stiffly shook his head, feeling his neck beginning to go numb.
