“Kun, did you keep secrets from me?” Ya was in disbelief, but he did not reject the shock and the doubts in his heart because to him, emotions were interesting in his long life.
“Did I? Didn’t you know everything about Tang Ling as well? He’s Tang Feng’s son, the owner of the Perfect Genetic Chain.” Kun’s icy cold countenance was gone and his enchanting charm returned.
His eyes were as clear as a river in spring when he spoke to Ya. It seemed as if the wind of spring carried the current and garnished it with blossom petals he river was glimmering vividly. Kun was very delighted.
“No? Well then, the body of that Demon Infant isn’t something that he can own now. I have the right to stop him,” Ya replied with a ridiculing gaze.
“Stop being unreasonable. He made a huge gamble and risked his life for it. Shouldn’t he be rewarded accordingly? I don’t accept your interference, and if you want to do it by force, don’t even think of having peace in your own Dream Domain.” Kun smiled. He did not look like he was threatening Ya. Instead, he was like a beautiful person jesting gently.
Ya knew Kun was not joking. As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did have something that caught Ya’s attention. Otherwise, with Tang Ling’s strength, Ya would not have so shamelessly gone over and spared extra attention to a Dream Seed from Kun’s side.
Ya was concerned about the Perfect Genetic Chain that both he and Kun could not comprehend.
However, when he thought of Tang Feng, would the Perfect Genetic Chain have raised his anticipation to this level? It was unlikely!
“Fine. It’s just a dead body. If the Demon Infant is alive, I would’ve interfered,” Ya answered after some thoughts.
It was obvious that the live Demon Infant was 10 times more precious than its dead body.
Tang Ling did not have the means to deal with a live Demon Infant either and he would never know about the truth behind it.
“Good boy.” Kun propped his chin onto his hands as if he had already won the argument.
Ya frowned, feeling that something was not right. “I want to search Tang Ling’s body.”
“To satisfy your curiosity? No,” Kun rejected. It was not a joke! There were things that everyone else in the world could know but not Ya.
There were many secrets in the world that only the two of them knew and not even Liu He was aware of.
Therefore, Kun could not allow Ya to search Tang Ling’s body. Otherwise, Kun would have a headache.
...
“Who are you?! From now on, the Fallen Star Church will be your sworn nemesis! We will not rest until your flesh and bones perish!” The red-robed bishop was in despair. He thought he could witness the birth of a miracle today, he thought he could be the witness of the most important moment of the Fallen Star Church’s history.
To his surprise, what he witnessed was a huge tragedy for the Fallen Star Church!
The Demon Infant had been killed! The Demon Infant that was born through arduous means was killed right in front of his eyes.
The red-robed bishop could not accept the outcome. He dared not even imagine what kind of punishment would come for him since he had failed to stop the tragedy from happening.
Was there any way to make up for his mistake? No, nothing could possibly save him from the punishment. If he could bring this resentful killer of the Demon Infant back together with the dead Demon Infant, things might not be that bad for him.
After all, the killer had been chosen by the Demon Infant itself. As an unprecedented first choice, the killer was extremely valuable. If the body of the Demon Infant remained intact, the odds of it giving birth to another Demon Infant were high.
With all that in mind, the red-robed bishop felt a little better.
This killer would never escape because reinforcements had arrived! Even though they ran into some unpleasant battles along the way, they still made it to Tribunal No. 3.
Italics You won’t rest until I am dead? Italics
Tang Ling was not deaf. He heard the frantic taunting at him, but he did not care because he was not afraid of death.
Moreover, a shocking new message popped into his mind and he needed half a second to digest the news.
‘Demon Infant 111 eliminated. Your courage has rewarded you with the dead body of the Demon Infant. It is obviously not a human but it’s a special living being. Its body is also considered precious.
‘However, what you take is what you give. The mission of the 24-hour survival will be changed to an endless pursuit of your life. In the upcoming period, unless you, the Dream Seed, withdraw from the Dream Domain, you will face endless slaughter from the Fallen Star Church. Of course, you can choose to discard the body of the Demon Infant.”
Tsk, this is giving me a headache.
The 24-hour countdown timer disappeared from Tang Ling’s head. It seemed like the main mission had just leveled up again, and this time, it was not just an increment by a single level.
An endless pursuit without a time limit? Was that a joke?
Should he consider discarding the body of the Demon Infant? No, it was unacceptable for Tang Ling.
However, there was some good news for him too.
Firstly, the body of the Demon Infant was precious. This particular news was better than any other, and when coupled with the reaction from little seed, Tang Ling knew that the body of the Demon Infant must be something beneficial to the little seed.
Secondly, killing a Demon Infant further recovered his strength. This recovery was more potent than any other killing to the point that he was able to recover a third of his missing strength in one go. Combined with the supplements from the vicious beast meat, Tang Ling was close to his prime form. He calculated that he had recovered four-fifths of his strength.
Thirdly, killing a Demon Infant rewarded him with 20 Dream Coins!
Am I dreaming? Since when did the Dream Domain become this generous?!
Tang Ling believed that killing the Demon Infant was not a tough job. As a matter of fact, if he knew a little bit of the truth, he would understand that even if he was in his prime form, he did not have any chances of killing the Demon Infant. The one who killed the Demon Infant was actually the little seed.
Another truth was that Kun was helping him to cheat! Kun and Ya were probably the only few in the whole wide world who knew the truth about the little seed. Then again, they might not be the only ones.
What should Tang Ling do next?
Without a second thought, Tang Ling first needed to escape from this situation. There was no time for him to hesitate. He had to carry out his plan to escape the enemy as soon as the next second, but it was at that moment, the man with the blonde hair muttered in a muffled voice, “B-Bring me.”
Should I bring him?
Powerful enemies wanted Tang Ling dead and he had to escape. Was it wise for him to bring a half-dead man with him?
His pragmatist side should have rejected it decisively, but in reality, Tang Ling shouldered the man without a second thought. He then started to run towards the enemies led by the red-robed bishop.
Had Tang Ling lost his mind?
Such a thought was circling in the minds of the 500 men from the church.
Conversely, Tang Ling would never lose himself! He knew better than anyone that in order to break out immediately, he must create panic. What else was more direct and effective than creating chaos in a group of enemies?
“You’re dead!” The red-robed bishop sneered coldly. Since the killer was coming towards him, he had no reason to let the killer go. No matter what kind of trick the killer had up his sleeve, surely he would submit in front of absolute power.
The red-robed bishop yelled furiously. Similar to the transformation of the white-robed apologists, his back arched and bulged, followed by his body expanding. The red robes were torn to shreds in a split second.
The white-robed apologists also transformed. Given the apologists’ position, they would never know the severity of things, but since the bishop decided to transform into battle form at the start of the battle, they had nothing to worry about.
Tang Ling found no interest in the white-robed apologists’ transformation anymore. As a matter of fact, the red-robed bishop’s battle form barely had any difference from that of the white-robed apologists’.
The only differences were that the bishop’s body was larger while the scales were no longer black but had silver stripes on it. The six appendages were more robust and had sharp hooks all over the edges. Even the joints of his body were covered with thorns. On his shoulder were two waving tentacles which made him look even more hideous.
Swish!
The tentacles on the bishop’s shoulder lashed out towards Tang Ling like ferocious whips.
Since he decided to transform to start the battle, the red-robed bishop skipped the chatter and attacked directly.
Tang Ling slowed down slightly from the sprinting. His body moved fluidly like water and he dodged the bishop’s whips. The state of his microsenses was powerful. Even the ferocious whiplash from the bishop could not touch Tang Ling.
At that point, the white-robed apologists completed their transformation. They were obviously veterans on the battlefield as they immediately followed up on the bishop’s attack and surrounded Tang Ling.
While Tang Ling was sprinting, he calculated in his mind and dodged all the combined attacks from the three apologists, managing to get within 50 meters of the red-robed bishop.
Despite the battle starting out fierce, it was just the beginning. The black-robed clergies finally responded to the situation and they surrounded Tang Ling too, hoping to trap him on the spot.
Tang Ling reached into his inner pocket for one of the thermal grenades. He managed to move forward for another 5 meters before he tossed the thermal grenade out. It landed almost 10 meters behind the red-robed bishop.
After that, Tang Ling forced his legs to a stop and made a sharp turn to the left, ramming into several black-robed clergies in the process.
He perfectly captured the details of the battle again while the calculation of his Precise Instinct was utilized to its maximum.
He never planned on taking the bishop and the apologists heads-on. Given his current strength level, even after he transformed, he could only take one or two white-robed apologists at the same time. He would be no match for the overwhelming number of enemies, especially the bishop.
Therefore, he ought to utilize the thermal grenade that Fatty had given him. If the thermal grenade was as powerful as Fatty claimed, Tang Ling did not mind going crazy again!
