Feeling only that scratch on his neck, Master Weng Hao felt that something was wrong with the current situation, but he couldn't put his finger into what it was.
Was this guy this weak from the start? Then how it was possible for him to actually keep up with his speed and movements all this time?
As he was lost in such thoughts though, he suddenly heard the opponent's maniac out-loud laughter,
"Hahahaahhahaha~! You are a dead guy Weng Family Head, Weng Hao!"
"Huh!? Brat you can still talk like this even after having your chest pierced by me? Do you think that you will be able to get out of this alive!?
Let me tell you some extra information to make you feel better, what I took wasn't a Blood Exhaustion Pill, but a Berserker Pill.
Sure it will hurt like hell after the pill's effect disappears but I will survive this. What do you think about it?"
"Pftt…, Puahahahahaa~! You are truly a snake that would lie and use even his brethren Weng Hao, but what does that have to do with your death?
From the start, I never intended of letting you die due to the Blood Exhaustion Pill's effects, from the start I was planning on killing your myself!
I am sure that you will realize it any moment now!"
"What do you mea…"
Before he could ask why his enemy was so sure that he would die, he suddenly felt something wrong with his body, as some substance raised from his stomach towards his throat and finally out.
It wasn't food, it was blood!
Master Weng Hao had just vomited blood, as an excruciating pain started torturing him from inside. There was only one option, he had been poisoned.
The dagger that the enemy had just scratched his neck with, had been coated with poison, and it was quite a fearsome poison at that too!
"You hideous bastard! How do you dare to poison me?"
"Hahhaha~! Why shouldn't I? Do you think you are the only sly bastard to live on Earth or something?
Why would I even want to fight you head-on, am I stupid, crazy, or something? You are dead, old bastard, just accept your death!"
"Youuuu~!"
Unable to control his anger and rage, Weng Hao turned his remaining hand into an eagle claw and then pierced the enemy's chest again.
'Arrrgghhh~!'
Once again though he didn't try to take out his heart and kill him, but just create another hole in the enemy's body. It was clear that he didn't want to give Eric a quick death, but a painful one.
He wanted to make this damn guy in his hands suffer as much as he could before his death, he wanted to drain him of any drop of blood in his body before he died.
'Hahahahaha~!'
Too bad that despite his primary shriek of pain, the enemy on his hands started laughing like a lunatic the next moment.
Master Weng Hao could only think that he had broken the guy in front of him and that he had lost his mind in order to handle the pain he was going through.
The next moment though this conclusion of his had been thrown to the ground though, as the enemy actually stopped laughing and then looking at him with a mocking and pitiful look, he said,
"You think that you broke me!?
Hahahahah~! Don't be that delusional Master Weng Hao, you should have understood by now that I am not that type of guy, right?"
"Lunatic! You are a lunatic!"
"Thanks for the compliment, but that isn't the case either! You see, the body you have in your hands now, and are trying to destroy isn't my real body.
That is just a clone, a double, a copy! You can think of it however you want to! But that isn't the real me!"
"What!?"
"Yes, I am sure that you are extremely confused right now, as you think that I am just bluffing or trying to fool you.
But that isn't the case! You see, I have a special skill that allows me to create a copy of myself and control it like a puppet.
Didn't you feel the sudden change in strength between me and my puppet? Well, that is because my puppets cant follow my Realm, I still need to increase my skill level, and I am unable to do so at the moment.
Anyway, I am sure you don't care about that, right? You are most probably wondering why I am telling you all this now, right?
It's really simple actually I wanted to waste some of your time as the last attack actually succeeds!
You see, the copy you have attacked and blocked right now has quite a load of explosives embedded in itself!
Farewell Weng Hao! Hope you like fireworks!"
'BOOOOOOOMMMMMM~!'
As he said those last words, actually the black-dressed enemy in Master Weng Hao's hands suddenly exploded and went ablaze for real, destroying everything in a radius of 100 meters.
Not really far from the explosion area, Eric was actually looking at the majesty of the explosion, and the flames that grew bigger, before entering amidst the flames.
Firstly he would have to confirm the death of Master Weng Hao, as who knew what that bastard might pull off.
And secondly, he would have to go and check if there was any treasure or something similar left after the death of the guy.
Not long after the whole area was crowded by the police vehicles and the firefighters that were trying to put off the fire, as the city was still shocked by all the recent news.
The official announcement was that Terrorists had infiltrated the city and had actually wiped out the Weng family.
Weng Hao the head of the family had survived and tracked the terrorists but he had been unable to cause them any harm as he had even lost his life trying to stop them.
It was unknown how much the general public believed the news, but there was nothing that they could do, say, or prove.
The ones whose truly opinion counted were now perplexed in another turmoil as news of what happened in Longgang City started spreading through the country.
Many people were irritated by the actions of the Cui family, especially the people supporting the Weng family, and Gao Jixie.
The worst part of all this mess was that the Cui family and the others had actually suffered a clear defeat, as even the Weng Family was wiped out, while Gao Jixie's whereabouts were unknown.
A figure that rose to prominence though was none other than Cui Xie, who not only managed to thwart the plans directed at him but even had captured one of the Cui family's descendants.
One of his cousins!
With that, the Cui family wouldn't be able to wipe their ass as easily as they would wish, and they would now have to negotiate with the guy himself.
The whole country was thrown in a disarray, as a small rock had created so many waves. No one could afford to not pay attention to what was happening in that small city.
On the other hand, Cui Xie had declared that Gao Jixie was a traitor that had helped the terrorists infiltrate and that he had also tried to kill him, so he would personally kill him if he saw the guy.
People were actually pressuring the Public Security Bureau and the Police to put a bounty on his head, but neither of them could do something like that.
Even though the Li family would most probably keep itself out of the damn mess, they still wouldn't allow his capture or death.
There were many holes in these matters, and many things remained unclear, like who was the true killer of Master Weng Hao, or what was the cause of what happened in the forest.
But no one was able to give these questions an answer or fill in the visible holes. One thing was for sure, Cui Xie had just strengthened his grasp on the city after the previous night.
As for the person that directed all this from the shadows, he was actually having a nice morning wake up beside his newest slave girl Lan'er.
Their relationship was already like this even before Eric placed a slave seal on her, and the truth was that after what happened the other night he was in an extremely good mood.
Not only had he killed Weng Hao, and wiped out the Weng family, but he had also managed to give Cui Xie a good start for the next parts of the plan.
Now he only had to wait for the Cui Family to make a move and come approach the Cui siblings, and he would be able to gain some more advantages.
Regarding the three Masters in the city, they had already understood and seen that Cui Xie was either a valuable partner to try and entice or a target to remove.
But considering the fact that he held control over the potions formulae, and had already agreed to a partnership with them, they could see that he was on their side.
That was Eric's intention, he wanted to make Cui Xie be part of the current faction and slowly develop under their shadow.
A big tree provides a good shadow, and that is precisely what Cui Xie needs at that moment. As for the Wenzhou Province and the Li family, there was already someone to keep them busy.
Furthermore, he had managed to get quite a bit from Weng Hao's spatial artifact, so how could he not be in a good mood!?
