Chapter 319: Giving You a Chance to Live
The bald man pretended not to have heard Liu Jia's words and didn't make a move to turn around, but just like that, his eyes still turned black.
Xu Huo had already arrived at his right side, slashing down with his sword from a distance. As the sword energy barrier rushed forward, a semi-transparent large bell suddenly enveloped the other man's entire body. The Crimson Sword failed to cleave through the bell, and the sword energy instead dissipated against its outer surface!
His expression changed slightly, and he quickly adjusted his posture to swing the sword horizontally.
The Crimson Sword could only cut through the first target object. Fighting with full freedom in this kind of forest was difficult. This sword slash was to attract the bald man's attention.
Although the bald man couldn't see, he still made a defensive posture to brace for impact the moment he heard the sound. At that moment, Yan Jiayu leaped in from behind, the muscles in her arm holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle bulging as she ferociously smashed it against the back of his head!
This blow didn't directly hit the bald man, but the large bell emitted a deafening, buzzing sound. People even some distance away couldn't help but cover their ears, let alone the bald man inside the bell. The effect of Liu Jia's shouted words had worn off, but he was now dizzied and disoriented by the reverberations from his own item, even bleeding from his nose!
Yan Jiayu seized the opportunity to land another blow with the pestle. This time, the bald man couldn't hold on any longer. Whether he actively deactivated the item's effect or was forced to, he half-knelt on the ground.
Xu Huo didn't show any mercy just because the man appeared seriously injured. Signaling for Yan Jiayu to step back, he swung his sword to slash at him!
The bald man was indeed not in as bad a shape as he appeared. The next second, he abruptly shot toward the left side, avoiding the slash while simultaneously reaching out to grab Yan Jiayu. A stream of colorful smoke sprayed from his palm!
Yan Jiayu instinctively held her breath, turned, and climbed a tree. With an unbelievable speed, she scaled several meters up the trunk before leaning back and leaping down from above. After flipping once in the air, her feet slammed viciously onto the top of the bald man's head! The bald man tried to grab her, but by then Xu Huo had already arrived. He seized the man's arm and brutally wrenched it. Accompanied by the sound of cracking bone, the bald man groaned in pain and swung his other hand back to strike!
Xu Huo turned his hand and held the sword vertically beside his body. The moment the other man tried to withdraw his hand, Xu Huo kicked him away!
The bald man flew backward several meters before crashing into a thick tree and tumbling down. He opened his mouth and spat blood, then immediately took out a potion. However, before he could drink it, Yan Jiayu shattered it with a small stone.
Shen Xin and Hu Wenhu had already finished up over there. They dragged the tied-up player over, and Xu Huo's group now had their hands completely free.
A flash of regret crossed the bald man's face, and he immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. "Don't kill me! I have inside information! I have no grudge against you;
I was just hired to do a job!"
"Is that so?" Xu Huo manipulated the piano wire to fly behind the man. "Tell me, who hired you?"
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the bald man asked hesitantly.
"You still dare to negotiate terms?" Yuan Yao, who had been hovering on the edges of the fight, finally dared to step forward.
Sima Xiao Er also angrily said, "If you die, just wait until we get back to the Special Defense Department and see how I deal with you!"
The bald man completely ignored the two of them, staring at Xu Huo. "As long as you give me a guarantee, I'll tell you. You're the one who can make the decision here."
Xu Huo looked at him. "If you say it, you can die a little less painfully."
