Chapter 281: Pandemonium

......

"So you're the one who we went out of the way to pursue?" Lin Qiang inquired with a scornful tone, his disdain for the handsome man clear in his gaze.

"..."

Princess Mu Mu observed the man in front of her, and then looked at Lin Qiang. She did so a couple of times before mumbling, "Like the difference between Heaven and Earth..."

The contrast in appearance between the two was large. But that wasn't the only thing larger that Azmodeus possessed, for his concealed talent was immense!

Even at this very moment, she could see him actively gaining cultivation, progressing through the realms at absurd rates!

Miss Mu didn't know how this was humanly possible, but she wasn't one to pry into other people's business, so she simply let it be.

Lin Qiang glanced at Mu Mu and saw all the attention she was putting on this complete stranger. This put a deep frown on his mildly handsome face as he furrowed his brows and glared at the Crimson Usurper.

"Since you need to die, I think I would be doing everyone a grand service if I just up and did it right here and now! What do you think about that, you criminal!?"

WAAA!

Lin Qiang already started to build up large amounts of Starry Qi on his hands as he reached for the long sword he kept at his waist. Upon unsheathing it and enveloping the blade with his sword aura, he looked toward the Crimson Usurper with a malicious glint in his eyes.

"..."

This entire time, Azmodeus had said absolutely nothing. And if he were being honest, he didn't really feel like talking to these two.

After all, in the end, loot was loot...

But for the good of the ambience, he felt that they were owed a little story.

"Tell me, there was once a Mortal who met the Devil, asking for power. And do you want to know what the Devil said to the Mortal?" He began to speak, his voice resonating throughout the void of space like the words of an Ancient Demon.

"???" "???"

Lin Qiang and Mu Mu looked at the handsome man's face morph into something far more malevolent.

They had a bad feeling about what was to come, but that didn't stop them from going on guard.

Just as Lin Qiang was going to strike out with his Star Severing Slash, Azmodeus continued to speak:

"The Devil told the Mortal that he would give him whatever power he so desired. But for the power, there was a price that needed to be paid... What price needed to be paid, my glorious loot bags?"

The Devil's voice slithered into the ears of both Lin Qiang and Mu Mu as the airspace for nearly a dozen light years was encapsulated in a wide crimson dome.

This action of the Devil cut off all forms of sight and communication that the two little sheep had with the outside world.

"!!!" "!!!"

Mu Mu was the first to react, as she no longer restrained her aura, outputting everything she had in order to shatter the crimson barrier. But unfortunately for her, there was no escape from the inevitable...

'If I do that, I will have a lot of troublesome explaining to do when I meet father...'

As her thoughts stirred, the static demon-like figure blazed through all forms of space-distance as he shot toward the Starsung Envoy.

He would be the first juicy loot bag to be looted.

"!!!"

Lin Qiang was lucky enough to see a faint silhouette blitz in his direction. But by the time he moved his sword to thwart the incoming attack, the fingers he used to hold the sword were sliced off at the base!

Spurt!

"Arrghh!! You fucking ingrait!! I don't think you realize who you're dealing with!"

Lim Qiang backed away from the materializing devil-like man, attempting to heal his wounds before showing this worm what was what.

However, it didn't seem like Azmodeus was willing to give him the chance to 'show what was what'.

His figure blurred like an elusive shadow as he once again appeared in front of Lin Qiang. But this time, he didn't stop with just a few fingers...

Spurt!

A fountain of blood gushed out of the spot where Lin Qiang's head used to be!

"!!!" Mu Mu watched her bodyguard get beheaded as easily as that, quickly realizing that even with her superior bloodline and Spiritual Roots, she would not fare much better.

She was originally going to try one other thing that could potentially be her way out of this, but when she saw the ferocious glint in Azmodeus's glitchy eyes, she knew there was no longer any hope for an alternative.

"Loot bag #1 has been reaped, but we still have the second one..."

FWIP!

Azmodeus phased from his position as he stretched out his claw-like hand in an attempt to rip out Mu Mu's throat!

Just as his hand was going to accomplish its task, something occurred in the very center of Mu Mu's body and her insides lit up!

BLING!

It was a dazzling light, one immediately capable of blinding Azmodeus. And it was also this light that transported her to a location an uncountable number of miles away.

"..."

Azmodeus looked at the spot where the loot bag once stood, realizing that more trouble would definitely come his way if she reported him.

But for some reason, such information forced a wide, evil smirk on his face, as he truly couldn't wait for such a loot fiesta scenario to come to pass.

Even so, that would have to wait for another time, as there were a plethora of system notifications ringing out inside his head...
