Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 463
Chapter 463: Murderer and Loser
The moment the intense pressure and metallic odor of blood manifested, Jian Hanzhong’s expression completely changed.
He drew out the spiritual power within him and a beautiful bonsai sprouted from the center of his palm.
At the same moment when the exquisite cedar bonsai sprouted from Jian Hanzhong’s palm, the originally undisturbed surface of the sea surged.
A gigantic glacier rose from its depths.
The air around the cedar bonsai turned to ivory frost the moment that the cedar bonsai radiated the chilling aura.
Jian Hanzhong pumped a large amount of spiritual power into the cedar bonsai and bellowed, “Cold Snow Pine, Pine Needle Shield! Ultimate Ice, Ice Leaves Scatter!”
The cedar bonsai in Jian Hanzhong’s hand shed its needles.
The falling needles melded together on the Ultimate Ice’s branches, forming a hard shell.
However, the Ultimate Ice was built too sturdily and was colossal in size.
The Cold Snow Pine was unable to wholly sweep over its branches to provide it with full-coverage protection.
When the Ultimate Ice received Jian Hanzhong’s command, its dense blue foliage churned up a tornado of leaves.
The droplets hanging off the leaves transformed into needles that burst forth toward the electric streak of scarlet light headed toward the fey.
Alas, the tornado of icy blue leaves was no match for the electric streak of scarlet light.
As the crimson light closed in, the Ultimate Ice’s branches bowed and reached inward, starting from the point where the needles were absent.
The Ultimate Ice’s branches were blasted open, leaving a large crater in the aftermath.
When the crimson light blasted another hole adjacent to the first one, it transformed into an enchanting girl. She had flame-red hair, red eyes to match, and was dressed in ruby armor.
A light blue tree core was nestled in the girl’s hand.
The Mother of Bloodbath languidly tossed the light blue tree core up and down. It even tossed it so that it made a complete circle in the air and intersected each throw with a complex trick.
An enraged roar ripped from Jian Hanzhong’s throat. “No!”
The Mother of Bloodbath’s strange yet melodious voice chimed in, its tone one of scornful derision. “No? Old man! Your voice pissed me off from the beginning! How dare you threaten to freeze the hearts of the people from Sky City? Dream on!
“If you had used the Suzerain Peak Snow Chill to attack me, I might have been slightly injured. But you chose to use the Snow Pine Chill to protect the Ultimate Ice instead. How stupid. I have to admit, you’re quite powerful for an old guy. I’ll also say that Ultimate Ice’s tree core is not bad. It’ll be great for cooling down my room on sweltering summer days.”
The moment that the Mother of Bloodbath showed herself, Duan He, who had not participated up till then, jumped. His pupils contracted instantaneously.
His rugged features betrayed fright and incredulity. He could not shake the feeling that a comedic performance of sorts had just taken place.
Jian Hanzhong, who initially held the advantage, suffered a loss as his contracted fey lost its tree core.
One look at the feeble Ultimate Ice and its decimated state was enough for Duan He to know that the Ultimate Ice was about to meet its end.
An advanced Class 4 Creation Master could only save the Ultimate Ice.
However, it was unlikely that the red-haired girl would give the Ultimate Ice such an opportunity.
The Mother of Bloodbath’s residual blood-red energy was still devouring the Ultimate Ice’s branches.
The edges of the crater in Ultimate Ice’s body were already starting to wither.
Duan He knew that the red-haired girl had to be a Suzerain/ Myth Breed fey that could change into human form.
Only one question remained in Duan He’s mind.
Why was I unaware that Sky City possessed power?
No rising faction would already have a Myth Breed fey that could take human form.
I’ve never heard of Sky City being mentioned amongst the veteran factions before. Could they be one of the rare hidden factions?
When Jian Hanzhong realized the true extent of the Ultimate Ice’s situation, his ramrod-straight posture sagged.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his hoarse voice croaked. “How dare you take my Ultimate Ice’s tree core? I’ll make you pay even if it’s the last thing I’ll do!”
The Mother of Bloodbath made a yawning gesture as it ignored Jian Hanzhong.
It raised the Ultimate Ice’s tree core to its lips and took a bite out of it.
The Mother of Bloodbath chomped down the entire tree core in a few mouthfuls.
When it was done, it made a show of opening her mouth wide and spitting the chewed-up tree core out on the ground.
Its voice dripped with haughtiness. “A tree core that hasn’t reached Suzerain just doesn’t sit well with me. You’ve been lazy, old man! However, the chives growing out of your hand look pretty tasty. I think I’ll dig it out of your hand and make a dish out of it.”
The Mother of Bloodbath’s words caused Lin Yuan’s eyelids to twitch.
Its forked tongue was just as effective of a weapon as its actual abilities.
It launched a sneak attack, then went for the heart before finally going for the lethal blow.
Jian Hanzhong stood no chance against its murderous intent.
The Ultimate Ice’s Diamond/Fantasy V tree core would definitely fetch a source-type item on the market.
What a loser!
Jian Hanzhong’s anger erupted when he saw the Mother of Bloodbath take a bite out of the Ultimate Ice’s tree core. He spluttered and coughed in rage.
He also clutched his heaving chest as he coughed.
“You—”
The Mother of Bloodbath cut in again before he could finish.
“What? Just stop struggling already. I’ll carve the chives out of your hand soon! When you die, the third lineage of the Zheng family who is still waiting for your good news will probably explode into laughter. Don’t worry though. You won’t be lonely after your death. I’ll bury your ashes on this island and open a big disco here. That way, I’ll be able to relive the happiness of today over and over again.”
Jian Hanzhong arched his back, looked up into the sky, and released an ear-shattering howl. “Nightmare VI, please help me! Please return the tree core to me!”
The second that Jian Hanzhong wailed toward the sky, a person clad in a black cloak materialized next to him.
