24: C24 Dagger Soul Eater

C24 Dagger Soul Eater

"Not good, really found out" Faang Xuan felt a chill run through his body. He grabbed Barbara's body and hid her behind him. He didn't take another look at her, but turned around and ran towards the depths of the dense forest.

Not long after he ran, a sharp whistle resounded throughout the night sky. Following that, there was a loud boom in the forest, followed by the sound of fighting. The sound was extremely fierce, it was even more ferocious than the previous situation where the eight of them and Liehba were fighting. Obviously, the man who had shouted was also a very powerful man.

Faang Xuan ignored the battle behind him and sped up his pace. To him, these people were all monsters. Any one of them could easily kill him. It was best to slip away while the enemy was fighting. Otherwise, when the battle was over... He didn't even have a chance to run.

At this moment, a loud sound was heard from behind. Following that, a bone-piercing cold voice said loudly, "Old man Nie, I, Liehba will remember today's kindness. I will return it to you in the future. Farewell..."

When Faang Xuan heard this, he knew that Liehba had already left. He was still scared away by that old man Nie. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he was the only one who had found out about him a long time ago. He could only hope that old man Nie didn't notice him.

However, it was obvious that Faang Xuan's hope was only wishful thinking. Just as he thought of this, a whistling sound of air being torn could be heard behind him. Needless to say, someone was chasing after him.

Faang Xuan was shocked. He sped up and gathered his Qi on his feet. His legs moved like the wind, and his speed suddenly increased by another level.

Suddenly, a sense of danger covered his entire body. Without looking back, Faang Xuan knew that the person behind him had attacked him.

Faang Xuan coldly snorted and placed Barbara on the ground. He stood still and raised both his hands in front of him, facing the incoming palms.

Just as Faang Xuan was about to receive the palms head on, he suddenly felt a heat in his brain. A ray of light flashed, and this ray of light instantly turned into a warm flow of air that flowed along his brain to his arms, and finally gathered on his palms.

In that split second, the two palms met. With a dull bang, Faang Xuan felt a vast and strong force. It flowed along the meridians of his arm to his heart, and then he felt a sweetness in his throat. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew backwards, crashing heavily into a thick tree trunk.

Faang Xuan's face turned cold. He quickly stood up and coldly looked at the person who had launched the sneak attack.

At this moment, standing opposite of him was a pale old man. This old man had an extremely tall stature, and was at least two meters tall. He wore a well-ironed military uniform, and his face was dignified, especially his eyes. He was filled with the vicissitudes of life and sorrow, as if he were the Buddha worshiped by the temple. He exuded an otherworldly melancholy that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

He took a deep breath. At this moment, the True Qi that had invaded his body had disappeared. Apart from feeling a slight numbness in his arm, there was nothing unusual about Faang Xuan's body.

He had always been a ruthless and bold person. He had been ambushed by someone for no reason, and he had even vomited blood because of it. Although he knew that the opponent's means were many times better than his, Faang Xuan had never been so calm when he was bullied in front of the door.

Gritting his teeth, he took out a pitch black dagger from his pocket. He had found this dagger on the dead devil's body. He didn't know what material it was made of. It didn't even have a blade. However, holding it in his hand gave people a very magical feeling. Now, that strange feeling had risen once again, causing Faang Xuan to feel anxious. He only wanted to kill the old man in front of him, and kill him regardless of the consequences.

The old man in military uniform was originally expressionless. When he saw Faang Xuan take out the dagger, suddenly, his expression froze, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face. Immediately, he revealed a kind smile and said in a low voice, "Kid, slow down. Can you listen to this old man?"

Faang Xuan slowly raised his right arm and held the dagger horizontally in front of his chest. An agitated and bloodthirsty impulse was transmitted through the dagger and instantly spread from his heart. At this moment, a monstrous killing intent surged into his mind, making him have the impulse to kill everything in the world.

Like a ferocious hungry wolf, the dagger was his fangs that could devour people. Faang Xuan fiercely threw himself at the old man's body at an incomparably fast speed. Not only did it bring with it a killing intent that filled the sky, it also brought with it a violent and bloody aura.

"Soul Devouring? Is it really Soul Devouring?" The old man's expression changed drastically when he easily bypassed Faang Xuan's stab. However, it was not because of Faang Xuan's attack, but because of the dagger in his opponent's hand.

"Ah!!!"

"I will kill you!"

A wild beast's roar erupted. Faang Xuan's attack failed, and his temperament changed greatly. Anxiety filled his entire chest, and his mind became more and more absent-minded.

He stepped on the ground with one foot, and his right arm drew an arc in the air, stabbing towards the old man's back. He looked like a madman who had lost his mind, and his eyes were filled with a thick red light.

"Let go of me!" The old man stepped forward. When the dagger came from the front of his face, he instantly appeared on Faang Xuan's back and hit the right arm of the old man who was holding the dagger.

With a bang, the dagger flew away. Faang Xuan was also hit by the force of the arm and hit a thick tree trunk.

"Puchi..." Spitting out a large amount of blood, the originally frustrated and manic brain regained some clarity. Faang Xuan looked around, and a trace of shock flashed across his face.

What happened to him? What exactly happened just now? Why do I feel like I can't control myself and my heart is only filled with killing?

"Little friend, are you alright?" The old man slowly approached, holding the dagger that had just been sent flying. He looked at Faang Xuan with a profound look and said, "The Soul Devouring Dagger, with your current temperament, it is indeed a bit lacking to control it."

Faang Xuan's face was gloomy. His eyes swept across the old man, and finally stared at the dagger in his hand. Could it be that everything that had just happened was caused by that dagger?

This night, although it did not take long, there were too many strange things that happened to Faang Xuan.1

First of all, when faced with a fatal bullet from the devil, there was a scale on his back that could save his life for no reason. Secondly, when he was fighting with the old man, a stream of light suddenly floated out of his brain. Thus, the strength of his arms increased greatly, even though he was still sent flying by the old man in the end. However, he was not injured.

If it was just this, it wouldn't be enough to shock Faang Xuan. After all, everything that had happened was beneficial to him. But just now, when he attacked the old man with a dagger, that thought was controlled by some mysterious thing, and he transformed into a monster that only knew how to kill. This caused him to feel a lingering fear. If it wasn't for the old man sending the dagger flying in time, he wouldn't have known what he would have become in the end.

The old man was three meters away from Faang Xuan. He bent his knees and ignored the dirt on the ground as he sat down. The corner of his mouth revealed a seemingly amiable smile as he smiled and said, "Little brother, can you put down your guard and have a good talk with this old man?"

"No." Although Faang Xuan had a lot of questions in his heart, his expression was calm as usual.

"Hahaha..." The old man burst out a hearty smile and said, "Little brother, you are the first person to speak to me in such a tone in the past thirty years."

"Then shouldn't I feel honored?" The corner of Faang Xuan's mouth curled up. Although the old man gave him tremendous pressure, he was an unyielding person. The greater the pressure, the more he resisted.

The old man shook his head helplessly and laughed. "Interesting. Let me introduce myself first, I am Nie Zorong."

After saying that, he secretly sized up Faang Xuan and found that his expression was the same as usual. He couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Obviously, the old man had never heard of his name.

The old man sighed again and continued, "Hey, little friend, do you know that you are in big trouble?"
