Yusuf Zuck was a bit puzzled because that noblewoman clearly kept showing goodwill to him and his group, and he really hadn’t offended her. Both parties had been exchanging gifts all along. So why, now that the noblewoman has left, has she left someone behind to kill them? The bird carriage stopped, Yusuf hugged the little white cat and stood alone at the front, not speaking, but waiting for the hidden assassins to reveal themselves. And indeed, after three to four minutes of a perfectly frozen time, the void suddenly shook violently, and then the dead eunuch Old Lee jumped out from the void! Seeing the dead eunuch, Yusuf raised his eyebrows, and Joy Webb and the others’ faces changed dramatically. This dead eunuch had given them considerable pressure last night; they couldn’t even move within his realm! "So it’s you!" Yusuf said peculiarly, "Is it you deciding to kill me, or your master’s order?" "Hmph, it’s you who ruined my future. If it weren’t for you, how would Princess have driven me away? So today I want to kill you all to vent my anger!" Eunuchs have twisted minds and split personalities. Such people, due to physiological defects, are resentful at the slightest perceived wrong, even to the extent of jealousy turning into hatred. In short, such people cannot be judged by common sense, and they often have venomous hearts. They are physically shorter than others, hence cannot stand seeing others do well! Yusuf had learned from experience because he had dealt with many dead eunuchs over the years, who were unpredictable, and perhaps even unconsciously aware of their internal contradictions at times. Yusuf understood the dead eunuch’s meaning; he had been driven away by the noblewoman, and thus bore a grudge. Of course, he couldn’t hate the noblewoman since he didn’t dare to, so he could only hate Yusuf, the culprit. "Do you think you can kill me?" Yusuf teased. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novᴇlfire.net "Hmph!" the dead eunuch snorted angrily, "You might have some strange techniques, but I’m sure your cultivation level is just an ordinary divine, and you rely only on that sharp blade in your hand." "Today, I’m going to kill you all and seize your blade!" The dead eunuch cared about nothing else and openly declared robbery! Logically speaking, this guy was a palace eunuch, a government official meant to serve the people, yet he was behaving like a bandit! Yusuf shook his head. To be honest, even if he didn’t take action, the little white cat might’ve been able to kill this dead eunuch. It’s known that the little white had once taken down a zombie stronger than ordinary Divine Emperors. So, the dead eunuch coming over boasting threats meant nothing to Yusuf. His only concern was for his followers at the back because they couldn’t withstand even one move, or roar, from the superior Divine Emperor! The dead eunuch did not continue speaking. He had said enough, and now it was time to act! Of course, the reason he hadn’t dared to strike aggressively was because he wasn’t sure who Yusuf really was and what he was capable of, so he had reservations. "Hmph!" This dead eunuch behaved a bit like a woman, not straightforward at all. After snorting lightly, he released his realm again, but slowly, probing. Yusuf’s Epoch Etching Blade appeared in his hand; he wasn’t careless because fighting against someone of this level meant one misstep could lead to death! However, just as the dead eunuch’s realm was inch by inch enveloping them, the little white cat in Yusuf’s arms suddenly meowed! This meow sounded like a thunderclap, causing the dead eunuch’s realm to creak! Yusuf was greatly surprised because the little white cat seemed to have advanced its realm again, stronger than during the graveyard encounter! "What’s the cause? I didn’t see it practicing or eating anything, so how did it become stronger? It definitely surpassed the God-Emperor Realm!" "Could it be... that the Divine Realm is its nourishing environment, making it become stronger by merely being here?" As Yusuf thought it over, he realized that must be the case. Since arriving in the Divine Realm, the Heavenly Dao had shown no reaction, indicating it’s a Divine Realm creature. By being here, it automatically absorbed the realm’s energy for cultivation, even while sleeping! "Swish~" Before Yusuf could speak, the little white rushed out like a bolt of white lightning, arriving above the dead eunuch in a flash. After another meow, the dead eunuch’s gaze turned vacant! "Sizzle"—without any signs, vapors began to escape from the dead eunuch’s nostrils, forming two streams entering the little white’s nostrils! This was its usual killing method—absorbing yin-yang! The dead eunuch’s body shook violently; his facial expression twitched. But he was a superior Divine Emperor, so in barely a breath, when the little white had just taken a few sips, he began bleeding from his seven orifices and came back to senses. "Aaaah, how come you have such a divine pet, an Yin-Yang Nine Lives Cat?!" the dead eunuch screamed and began retreating rapidly. This fight was unwinnable; he couldn’t handle the divine pet without the master even attacking, so he had to escape! But how could the little white cat let him escape? So it meowed again, making the dead eunuch dazed once more! However, it seemed the dead eunuch was burning himself up, for this time his daze lasted only a moment, without any vapors escaping his nostrils, and he was back to his senses. Of course, upon awakening, the dead eunuch was extremely frightened, his gaze chaotic and full of infinite confusion; he was about to fall into inner demons! Yusuf knew it was his time to act; if this entanglement between the little white and the dead eunuch continued, they might not succeed in killing him even by midday! All he needed to do was coordinate with the little white, and at the moment of the dead eunuch’s daze, slash down with a single strike to settle everything! Yet, just as Yusuf was raising his arm to swing the blade, suddenly, with a ’boom’, the dead eunuch battling with the little white was engulfed in flames! "Ahhhh~" He seemed like he’d been doused in gasoline, burning fiercely, struggling painfully in the flames! The little white cat was somewhat afraid of fire and retreated beside Yusuf with a meow. Yusuf shook his head at this moment. This dead eunuch’s mental state was too poor; perhaps under immense pressure, combined with internal frustration, he’d ignited himself in the battle with the little white! This was the most typical case of inner demon conflict, where the fire is heart flame, soul flame. Such madness leads certain death unless one has a strong mental fortitude! Yusuf did not continue to strike but watched the dead eunuch writhing in the air. Even Sarah Webb and the others dared not look, as the burning scent of flesh wafted from the dead eunuch’s body. It was real burning, real agony, the most painful and tragic death! After about a dozen breaths of flames, it seemed the dead eunuch was out of breath, his charred body dropping to the ground like a blackened stick, still emitting black smoke, motionless!
