After Qin Hao had ultimately learned all the twelve moves of the Scarlet Blood Machete Art, Bloody Demon King sat on the ground with a depressed look on his face. His disciple was formidable. He should have been happy, but he could not.
It was a shock to him. Bloody Demon King himself was a genius, but it took him a month to finish learning the twelve moves. Now that Qin Hao merely used one day to accomplish that, so compared to him, Bloody Demon King's talent was nothing to be proud of.
What bothered him the most was that just now, Qin Hao had acted like a fool, and now he looked so excellent, which caused Bloody Demon King to feel like he was tricked ruthlessly. He was the well-known Bloody Demon King, but now he was toyed with so thoroughly.
"Master, I'm done …What's wrong with you? " Qin Hao looked at the sad Bloody Demon King. Seeing the massive difference in the expression on Bloody Demon King's face, Qin Hao was secretly arrogant.
Bloody Demon King raised his head and stared at Qin Hao. Then he slowly stood up and opened his mouth, "Nothing, by the way, Hao." Now he even changed his way of addressing Qin Hao. He used to call him a fool or a son of a bitch. "You are indeed worthy of being my disciple. You have the same demeanor as me in the past. Back then, it took me half a day to learn this set of saber art. For you to be able to reach your current level, you are already catching up to my record." Anyway, he did not need to pay the tax to boast. As the master, he could not possibly say that he was inferior to his disciple, right? For Bloody Demon King who thought highly of his dignity, it was tough to accept the fact that he was inferior to his disciple.
"Half a day?" Qin Hao was a little suspicious of the authenticity of his words.
"Of course. Are you suspecting your master?" Bloody Demon King's face suddenly darkened.
"No, no, master, I totally believe your words. I know that you are a person who hates lying. In your heart, those people who lie are worse than pigs and dogs. Right, master?" Qin Hao flattered Bloody Demon King with a big fawning face, causing Bloody Demon King to be beaming with joy.
"Of course, Hao, I didn't expect that you would know so much about me. You're right. I always hate people who tell lies, so you must not have the slightest doubt in every word that comes out of my mouth. "
"Yes, definitely," Qin Hao nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "Master, I have never doubted this. Then, Master, you should let me go. "
"Let you go?" Bloody Demon King was stunned.
"Yeah, you just said that you will let me go after I finish learning the twelve moves of the Scarlet Blood Machete Art. I have no doubts about every single word from you. You are a man who despises those who tell lies. Hehe." Qin Hao laughed like a slut.
Bloody Demon King suddenly came to his senses, and his face immediately turned as black as a pig's liver. What a sly son!
He had been here for a hundred years. Now a person was coming, so Bloody Demon King thought that he could retain Qin Hao to stay here with him for a month at the least. Forget about accompanying him, even talking and bickering with him would be fine, but now, this guy had learned everything he needed in less than a day.
If he went back on his word now, wouldn't that mean that he was worse than pigs and dogs?
Qin Hao's flattery just now was a scam. Indeed, there was no flattery for free. Bloody Demon King finally understood this rule.
"Fine, I'll let you go, but it's already dark. You can leave tomorrow morning." Bloody Demon King said helplessly.
"Is it dark?" Qin Hao raised his head and looked at the top of the hole. This place was practically sealed, so he did not know if it was day or night, but it was awe-inspiring that Bloody Demon King was able to tell.
The strange thing was that there was still a faint light inside the cave even though it was dark outside, and it was not much weaker than it was during the day. This cave only had a few small holes for breathing and the other part of it was covered by the dense forest outside, so there was not much light coming in, and it did not produce much difference whether there were those bright spots.
To make this cave shine forever was a fist-sized glowing pearl on a stone table in the right corner. No one knew what pearl it was, but since it belonged to Bloody Demon King, it must be something good.
"Of course, I won't keep you if you don't want to stay. I originally wanted to give you some good fortune, but it's such a pity." Bloody Demon King sighed.
"A Good fortune?" Qin Hao retracted his greedy gaze from the glowing pearl, and looked at Bloody Demon King in surprise, "Master, I, I am willing to stay."
"Then come over here. I'll help you increase your strength so that you won't embarrass me outside." After that, Bloody Demon King flew over the blood pool and landed on the right side of the stone table where the glowing pearl was placed. There was a large, polished stone board there, which was probably where Bloody Demon King usually slept.
Thinking that it was the place where Bloody Demon King was sleeping at, Qin Hao hesitated, but the "good fortune" that Bloody Demon King had promised him was too enticing, so he did not care and quickly sat down on the stone table as well.
"Stretch out your hand, submerge your Qi into your Dantian, stabilize your mind, and relax your nerves." Bloody Demon King ordered with a severe expression.
Qin Hao immediately became serious too and followed Bloody Demon King's instructions by extending his hand out.
Bloody Demon King used his two hands to grab onto Qin Hao's outstretched hands, causing Qin Hao to immediately feel the powerful strength behind those hands that were as tender as a baby's hands.
"Are you ready?" Bloody Demon King shouted.
"Yes," Qin Hao nodded heavily.
"Good, now try to stabilize yourself. "Then Bloody Demon King shouted again and shook his hand. "Boom!" Qin Hao felt a massive wave of energy rushing forth from his arm like a flood that had just broken through the gate, surging outwards, causing his entire body to tremble. He quickly circulated his energy throughout his body and did his best to absorb the energy.
… ….
"Mr. Bold, tell me, why is Qin not back yet? It's late. Has something happened to him?" On the big ship named Hawa that was docked at a shallow bay on the island, Ayte and the baldy stood at the bow of the ship and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the island in the darkness, the direction that Qin Hao had disappeared to during the day.
The two of them had already returned to the ship. They had been waiting for Qin Hao for an entire day and mustered up their courage to look for him at that place Qin Hao was going, but it was as if Qin Hao had disappeared from the world. They could not find him anywhere.
It was already dark, and on this island, it was not safe at night. Some unknown ferocious beasts or poisonous objects could rush out of the lush forest at any time, especially those Vampire Eagles they saw during the day, which made their scalps go numb whenever they thought about it. Thus, they decided to return to the ship first. If Qin Hao was Okay, he should also come back to the ship. Besides, with his strength, it was barely likely that he would get in trouble.
Even though it was the case, the baldy was still a bit worried. Hearing Ayte's words, he glared at him with dissatisfaction, "Ayte, shut your stinky mouth up."
"Alright, Qin is an expert in kung fu, and I still need to learn kung fu from him. How could something happen to him? He might have gone to do something and will be back very soon." After Ayte finished speaking, he patted the baldy's shoulder and said, "Let's go back. It's cold here when Qin comes back, he will definitely come for us."
"You can go back first. I'll look around here." The baldy insisted.
"OK, alright then. I'll patrol first." Ayte and his subordinates were sent by Hawa to stay behind, and they just sneaked out to find the Blood Core Grass when Hawa was absent. Fortunately, these people were all his subordinates, so no one dared to say anything after he sneaked out.
He did not know what Hawa and the others went to do, or why they did not return yet. Of course, that kind of significant matter was not something that Ayte would know about.
Ayte walked with big strides as he arrogantly patrolled the various positions. This made him intensely experience the feeling of being the leader, and it felt good.
Just as he was patrolling arrogantly, he saw a familiar figure entering the room. He saw that person before. It was the man who quarreled with him when they boarded at Dingla's port and the one who was permitted by Tansang to get on the ship. He was one of the Ali brothers, the shorter one.
Seeing this person, Ayte thought of the girl that the two of them brought on the boat who did not have a contract. Thus, he curiously walked over to check the girl up. He wanted to see what that girl looked like, he wondered how come even if she was wearing a veil and in men's clothes, she still gave him a feeling of fascinating.
The short man locked the door right after he entered the room. The soundproofing effect of the door was not bad. Thus Ayte, who was standing at the door, could not see nor hear anything, but it was not a problem for him. He was in charge of inspection tonight, so he had the right to inspect any room, any corner, and to remove any hidden hazard from the ship.
"Duk-duk-duk." Ayte knocked on the door.
Not long later, the door was opened with a "kacha" sound. The short man stood in the doorway and asked with a cold expression, "What is it?"
"Ke-ke." Ayte coughed dryly, then put on an air of arrogance and said majestically, "Sir, my name is Ayte. I'm Hawa's Patrol Officer for tonight, and I need to check this room."
"Buzz off!" The short man snorted.
Since Tansang did not follow him here, there was no need for Ayte to be afraid of him. Furthermore, at that time, he had held back on his anger towards this fellow, and now, this fellow still did not give him any respect. At least, Ayte was a leader at that moment.
"Hmph." Ayte snorted, "Sir, please cooperate with me, if not, I have the right to ask you to get off the ship." As he said that, Ayte raised his hand and waved to the people standing guard around.
Those people were all Ayte's subordinates now, so when they saw Ayte's summons, they naturally rushed over. In an instant, seven or eight of them came and blocked the door.
With so many people surrounding him, Ayte laughed proudly, as if he was extremely polite, "Sir, let me repeat my words. Please cooperate with us."
The short guy looked at Ayte, then at the group of muscular men behind him, and finally gave in. He glared at Ayte hatefully and threatened, "You can come in and check, but don't go overboard. Otherwise, you must bear the consequence."
Ayte did not care about what he said as he led his men into the room.
As soon as they entered, they saw a young eastern girl sitting on the side of the bed. The girl didn't have the veil nor was she wearing men's clothes, so she revealed her original appearance and figure.
The moment they saw the young girl's real appearance, those men became obsessed with her. It was as if they had seen a fairy from the legends.
"Oh, my God, I've seen the goddess." Some of them exclaimed in amazement. In their exclamations, an anxious fellow couldn't help but walk towards the young girl as if he was possessed by magic. He wanted to kiss the supreme goddess in his heart at that moment.
Just as he was about to approach the girl, a gunshot rang out from behind him. Then a bullet drilled into the back of his head, causing the blood to explode in brilliant scarlet color instantly.
