Chapter 1170: I Want to See Who Comes to Kill Me Next
"The Locking Spirit Pill is one of the super effective methods against cultivators, but it’s extremely difficult to refine, and each one is highly valuable, priceless, actually..."
Carson Flores sat calmly in his seat, watching the middle-aged man being burnt to ashes and whispered, "I wonder who holds such a deep grudge, to actually hire an assassin to kill me, and even use a Locking Spirit Pill..."
Delaney Hunter spoke softly, "He called you the Human Emperor, so who exactly did he want to kill, Carson Flores or the Human Emperor?"
Carson shook his head, "Who knows, I wanted to ask him clearly, but he self-immolated directly, not even leaving any remains. He must have been a ruthless character, a very professional assassin, success or death."
Delaney asked, "Why didn’t he just strike you directly?"
Carson shrugged, "Maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to chat and observe up close whether I’d been affected or not. Or perhaps he thought he was killing the Human Emperor, which would be a rare deal, so he wanted to see the Human Emperor’s face filled with fear and despair before verbally trampling him?"
Delaney couldn’t help but chuckle, "The villain died because he talked too much?"
Carson smiled, "Even if he had struck directly, the outcome would’ve been the same. If the one who made the move was a Hollow Void Practitioner who caught me by surprise, there might have been a chance of success."
Delaney looked at Josy’s retracting vines with a peculiar expression.
