Chapter 66: 8th Youngest Sister, The Shadow Slaves

.....

In spite of Lucifer's blazing narcissism, there seemed to be something looking to ruin his perfectly scheduled out plan.

That something being...

"Boy, stop in your tracks this instant!"

"Stop running so fast!"

"We can't keep up!*

"???"

Three panting assassins heaved great amounts of air as they chased behind the crimson-haired man. But no matter how fast they moved, there was simply no way in hell they were going to be able to catch up to the freakishly fast young master-

SHING! SHING!

"!!!" "!!!" "!!!"

The high-ranking Shadow Slaves were still trying to catch their breath when, all of a sudden, dozens of sword beams flashed from a crimson black sword.

FWWWHHHHH

The crisp sound of a whistle resounded in the surroundings as the three Golden Core Shadow Slaves were unable to see even the edge of the blade!

Time came to a standstill for a moment. Then, without warning, it resumed and took the lives of the three assassins along with it.

OOOM!

The residual winds from the sword beams settled down, leaving a nonchalant man standing over crimson-stained grass.

"Hmm... I do wonder why some relatively big loot bags decided to jump at me like that... Were they offering themselves on a golden platter for free?"

Lucifer was quite confused over the sudden appearance of a few gnats, but that didn't stop him from looting them of everything they had in their possession.

"Bippity Boppity, your money is now my money~"

He sang a cute little tune while tearing away at a few bloody appendages.

It was only after 'borrowing' all of their Storage Rings that Lucifer moved away from the scene, continuing to make his way toward his 8th Sister.

Lucifer mused to himself, effortlessly thwarting the advance of the jagged dagger. His foot slid to the right, and his body followed. After which, he lightly tapped on the shoulder of the scary girl.

"!!!" Li Yan shot her deadly gaze behind her, attempting to alter the trajectory of her original slash. This time, she aimed to take out his jugular, effectively looking to turn him into a messed-up lobotomy subject!

However, once again, her attack was blocked, and it was done so with untold levels of ease.

"..."

Li Yan stopped after this strike, swiftly understanding that she stood no chance against this handsome raven-haired man.

Thud!

On a moment's notice, she jumped away from the scattered leaves, running away as fast as she could!

She eventually reached a cliff with a steep overhang, and without a second thought, she jumped off the cliff!

"Are you brave or a fool?"

Before she could even make it a foot away from the edge, a large, firm hand clasped onto her dress. Realizing that she was dangling in midair, Li Yan tried to slip out of her dress and resume her suicide mission.

But once again, everything was shown to be under the control of a singular man.

With immense ease, Lucifer grabbed both of Li Yan's arms and blink-stepped away from his spot. Then, after arriving at a large boulder a few hundred meters away, he tied the girl up with some Qi strings.

Thereafter, the both of them sat on the boulder, facing one another with contrasting expressions.

"Do you still not realize who I am?"

Lucifer broke the silence with a question, eliciting the full attention of the unnervingly calm little girl.

"No... Do not know you..."

Lucifer heard Li Yan's response and couldn't help but find it a little odd.

He didn't sense any conceit in her tone, so she was definitely telling her truth. However, they had seen each other less than a couple months ago, so she should still remember who he was.

'Right?'

Lucifer found this matter a tad bit perplexing, so he decided to take out a mirror from his storage ring.

It was only after getting a good look at his appearance that he understood what was happening...
