Chapter 44 - Floating Valley(III)

"Did you say novels? Ah, I'll show you how those fools end up in novels. "

When those words reached his ears, the man's heart began to pound furiously, and the blood drained from his face as his teeth chattered. His body became stuck in place as if he were being restrained by some force, but then he felt a hand on his chin, forcing him to look somewhere.

As his face turned, he noticed that all of his partners were rooted to the ground and shivering incessantly, while the man in the black robe was looking at one of his partners and his pale, soft-looking hands touched the chest of that man. His heart stopped beating for a moment when he noticed his partner's age, which was visible to the naked eye as the young man in front of him grew into an old man filled with wrinkles before turning into a dried-up corpse.

His mouth slightly opened as words stuck in his throat and his breathing became ragged as his gaze remained fixed on the dried-up corpse on the ground and despair filled his heart. His teeth chattered as he shifted his gaze to Andy, who was staring at him with bright red eyes and a slight smile on his face.

"De... Demon," He struggled to say those words as his body quivered and his eyes locked on the man in front of him. Despair filled his heart as he silently cursed his greed, while a cold and wet sensation filled his legs.

Andy was stunned for a moment after those words reached his ears before smirking and tightly gripping the man's chin. "Demon? You haven't seen a demon, dear. This is simply retribution for your foolishness. But in any case, I'd like to give you a chance. "

As if seeing the bright light in the darkness, the man struggled but nodded his head as a tear formed in the corner of his eyes. "A.. I would do anything. I could be your slave from now on. "

Andy's brow furrowed as he drew his hand back from the man's chin while he rubbed his own cheeks and stared at the man in front of him. The man was wearing an expensive yellow robe with his black hair tied back, but two more voices suddenly reached his ears.

"W.. we could also be your slaves,"

Andy's eyes scanned the other two men, who were shivering incessantly while they fixed their hopeful eyes on him. His attention shifted back to the man in yellow.

"They also claim that they could be my slaves. Tell me why I should give you a chance."

Those words surprised him as his gaze shifted to his partners, who were staring at him with contempt. "These two are ordinary Lin clan members, whereas I am a Xu clan son. I believe I would be more beneficial to you. "

Before anyone could say anything else, Andy's eyes returned to blue, and the pressure dissipated as his voice echoed throughout the woods.

"Prove me,"

As soon as the pressure dissipated, the man was shocked and remained rooted on the spot while various thoughts passed through his mind before his eyes turned vicious and he stared at the other two, who pulled out their swords and pointed at him. A long, shiny blade appeared in his hand, and he attacked his former partners.

Andy stood in the distance, watching the drama unfold in front of him when the Demon Lord's amusing voice echoed in his mind.

"Do you like playing with them?"

Andy, on the other hand, shook his head and mumbled, his blue eyes fixed on the battle in front of him, "Do you think I'd like to have some fun with these worthless fools? I simply want to inform them that they have made the biggest blunder of their lives. blunders in provocation so that even in their next life, they could provoke no one.

The Demon Lord's voice echoed in his mind once more, "Aren't you becoming too arrogant with your powers?"

But Andy shook his head. "Do you think I'd become arrogant because of my power? Sometimes we have to do something out of the ordinary to make the opposing party reconsider doing something against us. If I'm not overbearing, they'll think I'm afraid of them or that I would desperately fight with them. They would have attacked me by now if I hadn't shown them my powers, and I don't want to waste my precious energy fighting with these idiots."

The Demon Lord went silent for a moment before he said, "That's fine, but don't be arrogant because of your powers. It's fine if you're using it on gullible fools. But use your brain when you encounter a stronger opponent. Don't just jump on the field with your sword to fight against them."

"I know," Andy mumbled, his gaze fixed on the almost finished battle in front of him, as one beheaded body lay in a pool of blood, while the other had his guts spilled out as he struggled to breathe while his body was lying on the ground, and the winner was the Man in the Yellow Robe, whose entire full-body was marred by scars as he limped and walked towards Andy, as blood-red teeth were visible when he smiled.

"I have proven myself," the man panted heavily as he stood with the Blade's help.

But Andy shook his head, "There is one more thing,"

"What is it, young master?" The man's brow furrowed, but he still smiled as he panted heavily.

"How many people are here to kill me?"

The man's brow furrowed as he stared at Andy, doubt in his heart, but he replied, "There are nearly thirty people in total, the majority of whom are members of the Lin family or their associates. One even has an artifact to suppress you. Are you satisfied with my performance? "

The man felt relieved when he saw Andy nod, but his heartbeat sped up again when Andy placed his hand on his chest. His eyes were drawn to the hands. "What are you doing, young master? You gave me a chance," but he froze on the spot as he looked up. A pair of bright red eyes stared at him while a deep voice reached his ears.

"Yes, I gave you the chance. The chance of dying by my hands,"

These were the last words he ever heard before darkness engulfed him.
