Chapter 108: [Lifespan Extended by 133,140 Years]
Tang Mubai barked sharply, controlling his body to descend rapidly.
Close behind He Tairan, he wielded the Flaming Bone Blade, unleashing searing flames.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A blade aura stretching dozens of meters swept across the void, cleaving through buildings and forcibly plowing the ground.
Liu Tianxiu seized the moment to glance over, her heart filled with both delight and shock.
Master Hong’s strength was astonishingly formidable!
However, with some half-beast warriors still uneliminated, she refrained from further attention and unleashed her trump card, preparing to annihilate the wolf-headed men.
...
On the ground.
He Tairan moved like a ghost, swiftly shifting between alleyways and buildings.
He held absolute confidence in his agility.
Being exposed in the air was due to lack of cover.
Once on the ground, with numerous buildings blocking the way and the cloak of night for concealment, he was certain Tang Mubai would not be able to find him!
Yet, dreams are beautiful but reality is harsh.
“Whoosh boom~”
Just as He Tairan slipped into the doorway of a building, a five-meter-long fiery blade aura suddenly descended from the sky, shattering the building’s gate and driving He Tairan out like a chased dog.
Amidst the swirling dust, He Tairan’s hair was disheveled, his clothes torn, filled with shock, anger, shame, and hatred.
As he used his agility to flee in disgrace, he cursed furiously in his heart.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!”
“Who the hell is this Master Hong? Where did he suddenly come from? Why never showed before? Is he a secret expert from the Anwu Bureau? Or a covert weapon of the Governor’s Mansion?”
He cursed bitterly while running.
Ordinary martial artists had no idea how many masters resided in Red Leaf City.
But to the top-tier powers, every master in the city was well known.
Even the mysterious and seldom seen were acknowledged by existence.
If suddenly a new master appeared in Red Leaf City, it would immediately attract the attention of all major powers.
Before the Red Lake Group acted, they roughly investigated the whereabouts of all masters.
Only then did they lure away most of the masters and set up formations inside the city to block those who were drawn out, facilitating their internal operations.
Of course, the “lid” formed by the blood-red light barrier could not last long.
At most ten minutes before being broken or shattered.
But those ten minutes were enough for them.
By the time the blood-red “lid” broke, they would have gotten what they wanted and escaped without a trace.
Yet no one expected a sudden appearance of “Master Hong” to completely ruin their plan!
A large hole appeared in the blood-red “lid,” and as reinforcements arrived, their plot was effectively over.
At least He Tairan admitted defeat and decided to flee, no longer to meddle in this mess.
However, as he tried to escape, “Master Hong” would not allow it!
“Whoosh boom~”
Once again, scorching flame blade aura attacked from behind, slicing through the wall corner where He Tairan hid, causing cracks in his protective energy shield and propelling him forward.
In midair, blood surged uncontrollably as he spat it out.
“Wah—”
“Boom!”
The heavy sound shook the night.
He Tairan’s face flushed with bruises, terrified yet gritting his teeth through the pain in his chest, he fled in a sorry state.
His agility had failed!
The strange technique that no one had ever seen through was rendered useless against this damned “Master Hong”!
It seemed the other had seen through his technique’s flaw; no matter where he ran, he could not escape.
Moreover, this damn “Master Hong” pursued him relentlessly, his vitality not diminishing but growing stronger!
What to do? Beg for mercy?
He Tairan was frustrated and fearful.
He feared even begging would not save him from this damn “Master Hong”!
...
Spare He Tairan?
Of course not!
Conspiring with half-beasts to slaughter tens of thousands.
Such a traitor must die!
Especially as Tang Mubai chased He Tairan past the explosion site in the southern district, recovering hundreds of thousands of lost life energy, there was no chance of mercy!
By the time He Tairan ran from the south to the west district, Tang Mubai recovered another hundred thousand life energy, his fury nearly bursting forth.
After death, lost life energy returns to the place of death for ten minutes before fading into nothingness.
Tang Mubai had spent a long time in the east district, chasing He Tairan to the south, recovering over 700,000 life energy.
By the time he reached the west district, he recovered another 500,000 life energy.
Together, he collected over 1.3 million life energy, converting into 133,140 years of lifespan!
So many lives lost — at least close to twenty thousand people.
He Tairan wondered why Tang Mubai became stronger the more he fought.
The reason was here!
The 130,000 years of added lifespan alone, not counting previous recoveries, converted into vitality equaled 6,657 units.
Over six thousand vitality units — the realm of a sixth-grade master!
A master-level martial artist can release their aura outside the body.
Tang Mubai’s previous attacks on He Tairan relied on the Flaming Bone Blade’s inherent power plus immense brute force.
But now, he was empowered by his aura!
Each slash consumed only three to five hundred vitality units.
Even so, with aura’s blessing, the Flaming Bone Blade’s power had more than doubled.
He Tairan fled wounded all the way.
When he ran from the west back to the east district, just about to escape through the open “gate,” Tang Mubai seized the moment.
With one slash, he struck He Tairan, who rolled in the dirt, struggling to rise.
Tang Mubai unleashed a “Two Poles Sword Qi.”
Black and white sword qi tore the air, carrying a terrifying killing intent that made He Tairan’s heart race.
In a flash, he rolled aside, narrowly avoiding the sword qi.
Though it missed, the destructive aura shredded He Tairan’s clothes into fragments.
His internal organs suffered a violent impact like a locomotive collision.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, rolling on the ground, utterly exhausted, unable to stand.
He lay on his back, throat ragged like a broken bellows, gasping harshly.
Thud!
Tang Mubai landed beside him from midair, holding the Flaming Bone Blade.
With a deep voice and expressionless face, he said, “Any last words?”
“Cough... Pfft!”
He Tairan coughed blood, his voice hoarse, forcing a bitter smile.
“Last words? Are you sure you want to hear them?”
“Not nice? Like cursing me to a miserable death?”
Tang Mubai sneered.
“Fine, then I’ll send you to meet your ancestors. Remember not to be a traitor again in your next life!”
Swish!
A fiery red blade flash passed.
He Tairan’s head and neck separated, crimson blood spraying the earth!
[Life Energy +147]
“A master-level expert with less than 150 life energy?”
