Chapter 982: Sorry
Liuo Kai walked up to Xiao Yi, looking down at the severely injured Xiao Yi.
"Purple Flame Yi Xiao, is it? You're quite impressive." Liuo Kai said slowly.
"So young, yet you defeated Ran Qi and were acknowledged by the Ice Venerate Token."
"Most importantly, you're an Array Master."
"Join me, and I promise you'll be well-rewarded."
"Of course, the condition is that you hand over that girl behind you."
"Impossible." Xiao Yi shook his head, spitting out another mouthful of bloody saliva.
Boom...
Liuo Kai slammed down his palm.
Blood spurted from Xiao Yi's mouth, covering his entire mask.
"You should know, killing you is as easy as lifting a finger for me."
"I spoke to you more than necessary because I appreciate talent."
"Now..." Liuo Kai stared menacingly at Xiao Yi, "kill that girl beside you."
"I can spare your life."
Beside them, Huoo Linlang's face changed drastically upon hearing this, looking at Xiao Yi in fear.
She wasn't a fool and was well aware that when faced with a life-threatening situation, people could do anything.
"Uh." Xiao Yi endured the pain throughout his body, struggling to stand, gazing coldly at Huoo Linlang.
"Yi Xiao...you..." Huoo Linlang's face changed drastically.
Liuo Kai's grin twisted into a sinister smile, "That's more like it."
"Instead of risking your life for the Demon Hunting Hall for mere rewards,"
"you might as well follow me."
"I guarantee that what you'll receive is ten times what the Demon Hunting Hall gives you."
"Cultivation Resources, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, everything you could need."
Liuo Kai's words sounded like a demonic temptation, continuously coaxing Xiao Yi.
"I am currently at the peak of the Saint, and soon, I will step into the Saint King Realm."
"Once I truly enter the Saint King Realm, I shall dominate the Fangcun Territory."
"By that time, whatever you want, will be within easy reach."
Liuo Kai sneered, watching Xiao Yi step by step approach Huoo Linlang.
He knew very well that when facing life and death, in dire straits, people could abandon everything.
Along with this rich temptation, it was enough to make anyone listen to his command.
Xiao Yi had already come before Huoo Linlang.
His strong arm slowly moved towards Huoo Linlang's throat.
"Yi Xiao...you..." Huoo Linlang trembled all over.
In her eyes, at this moment, Yi Xiao, with a blood-stained mask, looked terrifying.
"Sorry." Cold words spilled from Xiao Yi's mouth.
His cold eyes slowly closed.
His hand completely clasped Huoo Linlang's throat.
A sense of death enveloped Huoo Linlang.
However, before Huoo Linlang could fully accept this sense of death, her body suddenly flew upwards.
Before her, Yi Xiao's eyes suddenly opened, shooting out a bright light.
"Sorry." Xiao Yi leaped up with a loud shout.
With a toss, he threw Huoo Linlang heavily away.
Boom... Huoo Linlang's body collided heavily against the Formation Barrier a hundred meters away.
Under intense pain, she spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
At this moment, Xiao Yi turned on the spot, with four roaring flames appearing in his hands from nowhere.
His cold eyes stared straight at Liuo Kai.
"Perhaps, compared to the Demon Hunting Hall, you can offer me more."
"But, you can't give me Task Points."
"Stubborn fool." Liuo Kai's eyes turned cold, and his killing intent surged forth.
"Explode." Xiao Yi shouted.
The four roaring flames in his hands instantly exploded.
The explosion of the four-colored flames erupted with tremendous power.
At such close range, the explosion blasted Liuo Kai back several steps.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was sent flying a hundred meters, the direction coincidentally where Huoo Linlang was flung away.
Swish...
Xiao Yi's figure flashed, catching Huoo Linlang, who was hitting the barrier, falling gently from it.
At the same time, a mysterious seal appeared in his hand.
It was the Skyfire Seal.
A blaze of fire shot up, instantly breaking the Formation Barrier.
In a few flashes, Xiao Yi had already fled far away with Huoo Linlang in his arms.
"Damn it." Liuo Kai steadied himself, his expression icily cold.
"Well done, what a cunning boy, what a Purple Flame Yi Xiao."
Liuo Kai gnashed his teeth in anger.
Before him, the remnants of the fire left by the explosion of the four-colored flames were still burning.
In his fury, Liuo Kai smashed his hand down, instantly annihilating the flames and leaving a huge crater in the ground.
"Captain, calm down." Several Demon Hunters hurried over.
Liuo Kai's eyes brimmed with killing intent, "We absolutely cannot let that girl leave the Mist Mountain Range alive."
Some of the team members looked troubled, "Captain, the Mist Mountain Range is so vast, if that boy hides intentionally, it will be hard to find him."
"A bunch of useless trash." Liuo Kai said coldly, "The Mist Mountain Range is our territory; he can't escape."
"First, send someone back to Fangcun City to summon all teams to rush to the Mist Mountain Range."
"I want not a single fly to escape the Mist Mountain Range."
"Second, spread the word that we have found Miss Linlang."
"But the Demon Hunter Yi Xiao was inferior and coveted the Demon Hunting Hall's high rewards, sabotaging things."
"Not only did he abduct Miss Linlang, but also injured several of our team members."
"Have the Demon Hunting Hall issue a warrant and send the Law Enforcement Team to pursue him."
"Huh?" Several team members wondered, "But Miss Linlang is currently with that boy."
"Idiots." Liuo Kai interrupted coldly, "As long as we find that boy's whereabouts, whoever finds them first, I have my means to deal with it."
"Yes." The team members responded in unison, carrying out his orders.
Liuo Kai stood in place, his gaze sinister and cold.
"You two little mice, you can't escape."
...
A thousand miles away, Xiao Yi kept leaping with Huoo Linlang in his arms.
Amidst the thick fog, Xiao Yi's speed was incredibly fast.
However, his breath was exceptionally rapid, clearly not an easy feat.
"Yi Xiao, you bastard." Huoo Linlang said angrily, "Do you have any idea how much it hurt when I hit that barrier just now? You sure have a lot of nerve..."
Xiao Yi interrupted coldly, "Compared to being blasted at close range by my flame explosion, hitting the barrier was light."
Indeed, the close-range explosion of the four-colored flames had caused significant injury to Xiao Yi himself.
If Huoo Linlang had been hit, she would have been seriously injured.
Hitting the barrier, while painful, was at most a minor injury.
"You..." Just as Huoo Linlang was about to say something more, she furrowed her brow suddenly.
Beneath Xiao Yi's mask, blood was continuously dripping.
Drop by drop, the blood spattered on her beautiful face, feeling cold.
She even clearly felt that compared to before, when she was carried without any bumps, now Yi Xiao's arms were trembling slightly.
"Yi Xiao, you..." Huoo Linlang softened her voice, whispering, "Are you severely injured?"
In fact, she didn't need to wait for Xiao Yi's answer, she already knew.
Beneath the mask, the continuous outflow of blood, and those bloodshot eyes, clearly indicated Xiao Yi was enduring significant pain.
"Not dead yet." Xiao Yi endured his rapid breathing, speaking coolly, "Stop buzzing in my ear, and I'll feel much better."
