Revenge Achieved

The sorrowful story flashed through Bai Xiao's mind. At this moment, Bai Xiao was at the bottom of the pit, staring fixedly at the fat man before him.

The fat man had his back to Bai Xiao, watching the mercenaries' battle in the distance with rapt attention, hoping his Soul Ring would soon be his.

The Black Leopard was taking more and more punches, while catching the mercenaries fewer and fewer times.

The Black Leopard was nearly unable to hold on. Despair seemed to mingle in its eyes.

No, you can't die yet! You still have to help me hold the mercenaries back!

Bai Xiao controlled his Martial Soul and released a trace of the aura of a Soul Beast of the Black Leopard's kind, sending it through the plants near the Black Leopard and toward them.

Sure enough, just as Bai Xiao expected, the Black Leopard suddenly rallied. It instantly perked up and began swinging its claws, madly unleashing attacks at the burly man.

The burly man was startled and focused almost all his attention on the Black Leopard, using his fists against its claws to fend off its attacks.

The fat man was also intently observing their battle, even barking out instructions now and then. Who knew whether the mercenary heard him? He did not notice in the slightest that a large patch of plants in the grass behind him had vanished.

At that moment, Bai Xiao moved.

Like a ferocious tiger, he pounced onto the fat man's back.

With his right hand, he drove a knife from behind through the gap between the ribs and straight into the fat man's heart.

The blade pierced flesh, making a dull "crack."

In one stroke, the fat man was impaled through!

Bai Xiao hooked his left arm around the fat man's neck, gripped his chin, and yanked hard, power bursting from his lower back.

Bai Xiao used all his strength and viciously pulled backward.

The fat man's neck let out a series of "crack crack" sounds, and the position of his head twisted in a shocking way.

The fat man could not make a sound at all. His expression was hideous, his eyeballs nearly popping from their sockets.

Bone and flesh shifted out of place, and his cervical vertebrae shattered into pieces.

Bai Xiao pressed his feet hard against the backs of the fat man's knees, then suddenly exerted force.

The fat man immediately lost his footing, and Bai Xiao controlled both their centers of gravity as they fell backward.

There was only a dull thud.

The fat man had already been dealt with by Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao killed the fat man as easily as killing a chicken, just as the fat man had slaughtered the homeless children back then.

There was no justice or evil here. It was merely one sinful life killing another sinful life.

If this mercenary had not been here, Bai Xiao would definitely have shown the fat man what it meant to be carved into a thousand pieces!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Wang Shi suddenly realized that he had not heard the fat man's crude nonsense for some time.

Then he heard another dull thud.

A sense that something bad was about to happen rose in his heart. He intensified his assault on the Black Leopard, then seized a gap in their exchange to look back.

That glance made Wang Shi freeze on the spot.

The Black Leopard seized the chance and swiped its claw across his face. Wang Shi felt a burning heat in his right eye, followed by agonizing pain, and he hurriedly retreated.

When he looked again, he saw the little fat man already lying on the ground, while the fellow beside him wrapped in a grass hide held a blood-dripping knife. Wang Shi immediately understood what had happened!

"If the City Lord finds out, he'll definitely kill me! If the City Lord finds out, he'll definitely kill me!!!..." Wang Shi screamed wildly, not even caring that his right eye had gone blind.

"Right! As long as I kill those two, the City Lord will definitely spare me!!" Wang Shi shouted, then fixed his bloodshot left eye on Bai Xiao and the Black Leopard.

Good heavens, has this guy gone mad? Bai Xiao secretly raised his guard, his hands poised to act.

The Black Leopard was thrilled to see Bai Xiao come out to save it, but as a beast, it had its own instincts. It felt that the Soul Master who had just been chasing and attacking it had become even more terrifying.
