Chapter 72: Our Loner Member, Welcome Back.
A grimace quickly appeared on Tao Xin's handsome face when the young woman suddenly started laughing loudly, with a bit of ridicule, as brown maniacal eyes gleefully watched one of the supposedly strongest blood race alive.
"Ah, your so funny Brother Xin! Of course, we also have something that will block your distress signal for your group of blood race from detection! And although we would have loved to have more of you elder group captured, we don't want them coming to your rescue now, alright?"
A maniacal smile graced her pretty face as she obsessively stared at the weakening Elder known for his wind magical power.
"Besides! It isn't good for them to know our current existence, especially when we wanted to capture all the other elders in your group! Let them all live peacefully ok? Like the way you did, safe and carefree, completely clueless about what is really going on!"
She chuckled softly, a sneer appearing on her lovely face and disdain filling her brown eyes as she gazed at the weakened and injured Elder of Wind before her.
"Didn't all of you blood race think that you are so powerful this whole time? We will let you know about how powerful we humans can be!"
Tao Xin, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't help but stiffen, blood-crimson eyes darkening as a figure appeared in his mind when he heard about their plan targeting his group.
Cannot cannot touch that person! Absolutely not allowed as long as he is alive!
Suddenly, Tao Xin's crimson eyes turned crazier before he used his wind power and inborn physical strength to attack the group.
Soon, screams of people dying left and right echoed out, while the pretty lady stood guarded by a group of people sacrificing their lives without any hesitation.
The whole time, the pretty young woman just showed a maniacal smile, while brown eyes turn indifferent at the sacrifice of the group of people that have died protecting her life the whole entire time.
Soon, despite Tao Xin going on a rampage, he was pushed down on the floor and captured by a group of people.
He was forced to an abnormal weakened status and unable to use the powerful strength that had caused him to be known as the Elder of Wind to the entire blood race.
"... you don't touch them!"
Despite being caught and feeling weak, Tao Xin still used the crimson eyes to threaten the group of people to dare do what they had spoken.
"Hahahahaha! The perpetually proud and noble Blood Race has been pushed to the ground- look at how miserable he looks! Aren't we humans amazing? How about this! Beg me and I'll think about it?"
The pretty lady let out a loud laugh, feeling utterly delighted at the scene before her.
Suddenly, the shadow underneath her moved slightly before a larger black shadow lept from within.
Before long, the arrogant laughter stopped and was soon followed by a painful scream.
Crunch
The loud sound of bone breaking eerily echoed out in the suddenly silent room. Everyone, including the captured Tao Xin, turned to glance from where the sound came from- the eyes under white masks of the grey- clothed people widened at the scene before them.
Crimson red eyes painfully and weakly stared as the pretty woman who had been laughing arrogantly let out a gurgling sound for a few seconds before brown eyes dimmed and life faded away.
And before them was a huge, dangerous black beast with sharp teeth biting the pretty woman's slender neck, and as those terrifying beast eyes glanced around the room, everyone couldn't help but shudder in fear.
When the dangerous black beast suddenly leapt and disappeared into the shadows while carrying the dead body of the pretty woman, everyone finally manage to regain their senses.
The group of people in gray clothes couldn't help but grimace under their masks- their leader had unexpectedly died!
However, soon, another person in the group stepped out and began to command the people around him.
"Lets go! Bring the Blood Race Elder! We are done with our mission!"
The person that had stepped out glanced to where their leader had disappeared for a bit, before decisively turning around to leave the place.
Although it was a pity that the pretty young woman died, they can always replace her. In their organization, there are always people that can be easily replaced.
Soon, the group of people left the room while dragging the captured Tao Xin along with them.
Tao Xin couldn't help but show a shocked expression in his crimson eyes. Although he was surprised by the huge black beast's sudden appearance, what made him surprised and doubtful was the fact that the dangerous beast disappeared inside the shadow.
could it be?
Before Tao Xin could think further, everything suddenly turned into chaos, and before long, he felt the entire place suddenly turn dark while his entire body was strongly pulled.
"..eh..? Ah!"
Soon, he felt the one that had been grasping the back of his white suit suddenly let go, causing his entire body to be dropped roughly onto the ground.
Groaning, Tao Xin weakly tried to get up, before his ears suddenly heard the purring of a beast, causing him to glance to the source of the noise.
Crimson eyes widened at the scene before him, where a teenager dressed completely in black was petting a massive, dangerous beast that was happily swinging its long black tail.
No way. Really
Their loner member that had gone into hiding in a thousand years before was standing before him.
Tao Xin was in utter disbelief for a few moments. Only then did he notice that his loner friend was standing right in front of him while gloomily staring down with a darkened expression, like he was looking at a troublesome person.
Eh? There is no way though, he might have been too weak and read it wrong.
But em is it just me, or does Zou Yi feel darker and gloomier than what I remembered?
However, Tao Xin soon felt guilty when he noticed the way his friend's face was so pale while his crimson eyes turned sluggish.
Ah... damn it... nothing has changed after all these years... Zou Yi...
"...Thank You..."
And I... no we are sorry... for always making you doing the protecting, as always, no matter how many years it has been...
Sorry for causing you trouble again... my unusual loner friend...but I am glad to finally see you once again.
"... and welcome back..."
