The sorrowful story flashed through Bai Xiao's mind. At that 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, intently watching the mercenaries battle in the distance, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his Soul Ring.
The Black Leopard was taking more and more punches, while finding fewer and fewer chances to catch the mercenary.
The Black Leopard was about to collapse. Its eyes seemed filled with despair.
No, you can't die yet! You still need to hold the mercenary off for me!
Bai Xiao controlled his Martial Soul to emit a trace of the aura of a soul beast from the same kind as the Black Leopard, sending it through the plants around the Black Leopard toward them.
Sure enough, just as Bai Xiao had expected, the Black Leopard suddenly rallied. It instantly perked up, waving its claws and madly attacking the burly man.
The burly man was startled and shifted nearly all his attention to the Black Leopard, meeting claw with fist and fending off the Black Leopard's attacks.
The fat man also watched their battle intently, occasionally barking out a few instructions. Whether the mercenary heard him or not, he never noticed that a large patch of plants in the grass behind him had vanished.
Then Bai Xiao moved.
Like a tiger, he pounced fiercely onto the fat man's back.
With his right hand, he drove his blade through the gap between the ribs from behind and into the fat man's heart.
The sword tip pierced flesh, producing a dull crack.
In one strike, the fat man was pierced through!
Bai Xiao hooked his left arm around the fat man's neck, gripped his chin, and yanked hard, driving force from his lower back.
Bai Xiao used all his strength to pull him viciously backward.
The fat man's neck let out a crack-crack, and the position of his head twisted in a horrifying way.
The fat man could not make a sound at all. His expression was grotesque, and his eyeballs were nearly popping from their sockets.
Bone and flesh shifted out of place, and his cervical vertebrae shattered.
Bai Xiao pressed his feet hard against the backs of the fat man's knees and suddenly exerted force.
The fat man immediately lost his footing, and Bai Xiao controlled their center of gravity as they fell backward.
There came 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 homeless children back then.
There was no justice or evil. It was merely one sinful life killing another sinful life.
If this mercenary had not been here, Bai Xiao would certainly have shown the fat man what it meant to be carved into a thousand pieces!
Everything happened in a flash.
Wang Shi suddenly realized he had not heard the fat man's filthy chatter for some time.
Then he heard another dull thud.
He sensed that something bad was happening, so he intensified his assault on the Black Leopard. Taking advantage of a gap in their clash, he turned to look back.
That glance froze Wang Shi on the spot.
The Black Leopard seized the chance and slashed him across the face. Wang Shi felt a burning sensation in his right eye, followed by searing pain, and he quickly retreated.
When he looked again, he saw the little fat man already lying on the ground. The fellow beside him, draped in grass, still had blood dripping from his blade. Wang Shi immediately understood what had happened!
"The City Lord will definitely kill me!
The City Lord will definitely kill me!!!..."
"Right, as long as I kill those two, the City Lord will definitely spare me!!" Wang Shi shouted. He then fixed his bloodshot left eye on Bai Xiao and the Black Leopard.
Good heavens, has this guy gone insane? Bai Xiao secretly raised his guard and readied his hands.
The Black Leopard was excited 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 been chasing and attacking it had become even more terrifying.
