Chapter 43



43 Purpose and Escape Method

“Have a seat?” The bearded man flicked the dagger in his hand and pointed at the stone in front of him.

Looking at the dagger flying up and down, Wang Yu’s eyes turned cold.

The dagger actually had magic damage, which was a great counter to his Ice Body.

The Frozen Fruit’s ice body effect was very strong. At low levels, when everyone had very few attack methods, the Ice Body was the nemesis of physical classes.

However, when they reached the high level, most damage-dealing classes would take the path of physical and magic dual cultivation to avoid a situation where their damage output was insufficient.

At that time, his Ice Body would be just like that.

Wang Yu didn’t expect the person in front of him to start cultivating both magic and physical arts at the second transition!

What Wang Yu was most puzzled about was, what was the purpose of this person in front of him?

Was he here to kill him?

Or was he trying to find out the secret of the system?

Or something else?

Wang Yu was thinking of a way to break out of this situation, but his expression didn’t change. He sat opposite the bearded man as he was told.

Wang Yu was silent. However, in the familiar space, a life spirit eye landed on Rou Rou’s flesh, helping it recover from its injuries.

Now, he could only hope that this little fellow would be able to recover his fighting strength as soon as possible.

Seeing that Wang Yu did not threaten him, the bearded man took out a piece of meat from his interspatial ring and started to roast it.

In a short while, the fragrance of meat wafted through the air. To be fair, the bearded man’s cooking skills were not bad.

After the meat was done, he handed a piece to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu didn’t take it. Who knew if he had poisoned the spices he had just sprinkled?

The bearded man wasn’t annoyed. Seeing that Wang Yu didn’t want it, he started to gnaw on it and asked, “Don’t you have anything to ask?”

“There is,” Wang Yu said honestly.

The bearded man said, “Go ahead and ask?”

Wang Yu pondered for a moment before he said, “You kidnapped me… What’s your purpose?”

The bearded man didn’t answer directly. Instead, he laughed and said, “You’ll know soon!”

After he finished speaking, Wang Yu let out a muffled groan.

A gash suddenly appeared on Wang Yu’s leg. Blood was flowing out of it, and it was so deep that one could see the bone!

In an instant, Wang Yu’s health bar had dropped by nearly 1/6!

So fast!

Wang Yu clenched his teeth. He had not seen how his opponent had attacked just now!

As expected, there was a world of difference after each transition. It was still a bit too difficult to go against the flow and advance.

The bearded man was a little embarrassed, “I forgot to tell you that there’s a price to pay for asking questions.”

Looking at the bearded man’s shamelessness, Wang Yu couldn’t be bothered to curse in his heart.

His top priority was to stall for time and wait for himself and Rou Rou to recover.

Sensing Wang Yu’s injury, Rou Rou was extremely anxious in the familiar space, and Wang Yu could only keep comforting it.

Looking at the bleeding wound, Wang Yu couldn’t just leave it be. Otherwise, he would bleed to death.

Hence, he tore his clothes and began to bandage it. The bearded man didn’t stop him.

Fortunately, the bearded man’s dagger did not have a bleeding effect. The bleeding stopped in a moment, and only pain continued to spread.

“Anything else you want to ask?” the bearded man said as he switched to another piece of meat.

Looking at his smiling eyes, Wang Yu knew that even if he didn’t ask, the other party would find an excuse to stab him in the back. It was better to simply get some information.

He pretended to think, and just as the other side was getting impatient, he spoke.

“Who sent you here?” Wang Yu asked. “The Sacred Glory Group?”

Wang Yu hadn’t offended many people recently, and to be fair, he thought that the Sacred Glory Group had the lowest probability.

One more move.

By ‘unnecessary’, he did not mean that it was unnecessary to send the bearded man to deal with him, but rather, it was unnecessary to send the ponytail girl and the others to deal with him.

According to what the man with the buzz cut had said on the first day, the Sacred Glory Group had found more than ten teams of about 40 people to deal with him.

If the bearded man was really sent by the Sacred Glory Group, weren’t they afraid of the buzz-cut man and the others sending him out of the secret realm first?

At that time, it would be a waste of effort to risk sending the bearded man in.

Wang Yu did not think that it would be so easy to give someone away under the eyes of the military, the Profession Association, and the four schools.

Therefore, the Sacred Glory Group had the lowest probability.

“No,” the bearded man denied.

Wang Yu groaned again.

This time, he had two more wounds on his body, one on his thigh and one on his arm.

Two questions, two wounds, not a single bit less.

Wang Yu didn’t argue with him, and the other party only answered one of his questions.

It was meaningless.

After bandaging the wound again, Wang Yu took a moment to calm himself down before saying, “No more questions.”

He already had a rough plan.

“That’s good. It’s my turn to ask you now,” the bearded man said.

“Where were you six days ago? What did you do?”

Six days ago… Wang Yu pondered for a moment and instantly reacted.

Six days ago, it was the second day after he returned from the Extreme Darkness Plains!

In the morning, he went to the Wu family’s trading company to deal with the equipment he had obtained. He stayed at home the entire afternoon. As for the night…

He went to the Zhang River to fish and met Cheng Jun, who wanted to assassinate him, and successfully killed him.

The bearded man and Cheng Jun were in cahoots?

Seeing Wang Yu’s expression change, the bearded man smiled and said, “It seems you know.”

“Tell me, how did Cheng Jun die?”

As expected… Wang Yu came to a realization.

There weren’t many cases of Cheng Jun trying to assassinate him, unless the City Guard Division’s people spread the news everywhere. Only those on Cheng Jun’s side knew.

Therefore, it could basically be said that the bearded man in front of him was Cheng Jun’s boss, who was also sent by the One-Eyed Dragon.

“I don’t know.” Wang Yu shook his head.

“You’re lying!” The bearded man snorted.

He disappeared in an instant and gave Wang Yu another stab.

This time, it was his lower abdomen.

When he returned to his original position, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

It was dangerous!

After many years of life-and-death battles, he had already honed a wealth of combat experience and instinctively responded to the threats that came after him.

The bearded man twisted his waist, and with a flick of his fingers, he held the dagger in reverse and stabbed it behind him!

The black shadow’s reaction was not slow either. It swiped its claw at the bearded man’s back and bit down on the bearded man’s attacking arm with its mouth, tearing it apart with the dagger!

Only then did the bearded man clearly see the appearance of the black shadow that attacked him.

It was a snake-shaped creature with azure scales all over its body. Its thick and strong limbs were filled with power, and its golden vertical pupils exuded a supreme majesty that made people want to prostrate themselves in worship!

It was Rou Rou!

The bearded man was someone who had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Naturally, he would not be intimidated by a young Rou Rou. With a thought, he activated stealth and headed straight for Wang Yu!

Wang Yu also reacted quickly and immediately put away Rou Rou.

The bearded man had just arrived in front of Wang Yu when he saw the flaming lotus in his hand.

The flame lotus was extremely beautiful, and the stamen and petals on it could be clearly seen.

Most importantly, the lotus flower had eight colors!

‘Wasn’t there only three colors?’ The bearded man was stunned for a moment.

Without waiting for the bearded man to think further, the flaming lotus flower exploded in an instant, and a huge shock wave swept across!

At the center of the explosion, a huge pit appeared where the fire lotus had exploded. The soil, rocks, and even the mountain had been turned into dust!

A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the shock wave spread along the ground to the entire secret realm. The snow that covered the peak of the mountain all year round galloped down like a wild horse that had lost its reins!

In the secret realm, everyone looked at this scene in horror.

Was it an earthquake?

Many people thought.
