Above all spirits

Chapter 46 I'm Not Human

Tiger's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Xiao Teng, a second-stage mortal, was killed in a single exchange.

If the other party kills you, it's like slaughtering a chicken.

Now he is in a dilemma.

Trying to escape would definitely result in being turned into fireworks.

Even if I confessed, I probably wouldn't survive.

His eyes began to dart around, trying to find something to lean on.

But all around were empty buildings and corpses lying haphazardly on the ground. Damn it, I was all alone. Who could I rely on?

He never imagined that the man in black would kill all of his nearly one hundred henchmen in just a few breaths.

His weakness limited his imagination.

Just as he was about to resign himself to his fate, a soft voice from inside the house became his lifeline.

"Mother, mother."

"What's wrong with you? Waaaaah, wake up, waaaah."

A little girl kept pushing the half-naked woman on the ground as she sobbed.

"Mommy, I don't want to eat meat anymore, I'll never eat it again, please wake up."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Tiger was overjoyed.

There were still some who slipped through the net.

It's truly a blessing that Heaven didn't forsake Tiger Brother.

God bless you.

If I can get through this, I will definitely take my wife and run far away.

I'm never staying in this godforsaken place again.

That was practically a death sentence.

Tiger didn't dare to think too much. He immediately unleashed a power he might never reach again in his life, rushing towards the wooden house at full speed and grabbing the little girl's collar and the knife that the woman had been holding on the ground.

Gu Yun didn't stop him, watching Tiger's turtle-like movements with the same cold indifference one would show a clown.

At least for him, it was as slow as a snail's pace.

He just wanted to give the other party a glimmer of hope so that he could hear the whole story.

Tiger then turned to Gu Yun, grabbed her with his hands, and held the little girl against his chest.

He held a knife to his neck.

However, he didn't dare get too close because the little girl in front of him kept punching and kicking him.

"Ah—, let me go! It was you who bullied Mother! It was you! Give Mother back to me!"

It even bit Tiger's arm.

Tiger's veins bulged slightly.

It doesn't hurt though.

But under other circumstances, Tiger would have already impatiently stabbed that annoying brat to death.

But that won't work now.

This little darling is so precious now.

If you accidentally get injured, your only lifeline will be gone.

That would be certain death.

"Don't move, don't come any closer!"

"You, you, you! If you dare touch me, I, I, I'll make this little thing pay with its life!"

Poor Tiger hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and even his threats were stuttering.

It was so weak and powerless.

The little dark figure suddenly whispered in Gu Yun's ear.

"Mortals are just mortals, they know nothing about power."

Gu Yun shook his head.

Ask them directly.

"Tell me who's behind this."

Tiger took a deep breath to calm himself down, a feeling of relief spreading through him.

The ability to negotiate means there is room for reconciliation.

It seems the other person really is a pushover.

This one.

The advantage is mine.

"No, you have to swear first that you'll let me go after I finish speaking."

Push your nose and face.

Gu Yun snorted coldly, then grinned, sending a chill down Tiger's spine.

How do you want me to swear an oath?

Tiger, suppressing his unease, spoke loudly.

Now, it seems that only his loud voice can give him some confidence.

"You swear that if I tell you everything, you must spare my life, or you will suffer a terrible death and never be reincarnated!"

Gu Yun smiled slightly as she repeated the sentence.

"Okay, I swear."

"If you confess, I will spare your life; otherwise, I will suffer a terrible death and never be reincarnated. Is that alright?"

Tiger secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this world, there is an unseen binding force on oaths, and the higher one's cultivation level, the more one cares about them.

After all, no one wants their efforts to be in vain, and the other party should understand that as well.

However, Tiger did not let go of the little girl he was holding to his chest. He kept his arm against her open mouth to prevent her from screaming anymore, but only occasional whimpering sounds could be heard.

"It's Lin Zaicheng, the third son of the city lord of Lanyu City. We all call him Young Master Lin. He ordered us to do this. Under his name, there's a place called Fengyue Pavilion, which is actually a brothel."

"However, unlike other brothels, only high-ranking officials and nobles are qualified to enter the Fengyue Pavilion, and it is also very expensive, and..."

Tiger swallowed hard, glanced at Gu Yun's still indifferent face, and then said.

"Moreover, most of the people who come to Fengyue Pavilion actually play very perverted games, even more outrageous than us. At least we spare people's lives, after all, we have to report back."

"But it's common for their higher-ups to kill people. To replenish the women in the pavilion in a timely manner, Young Master Lin often orders nearby gangs to go to the villages outside the city..."

Tiger didn't continue, and there was no need to say anything more.

That's roughly what happened.

After all, he was just a junior in front of Young Master Lin.

Gu Yun nodded and said calmly.

"Alright, that's enough. You can go now."

Tiger was overjoyed upon hearing this. He was about to put the little girl down, clasp his hands in thanks, and then immediately run away to get as far away as possible.

But he seemed to realize that he felt a little lightheaded.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the little girl had hidden behind Gu Yun's legs, concealing her body, with only her small head peeking out as she looked at him with some fear.

As for the arm that had been supporting her, it had been cut off and fell to the ground, staining the steps red.

Only then did Tiger realize the excruciating pain emanating from his severed arm. He clutched the bleeding wound, collapsed onto the pool of blood, and screamed.

"Aaaaaah, my arm!!!"

"You...you've gone back on your word! Aren't you afraid your oath will come true, that you'll suffer a terrible death and never be reincarnated?!"

Gu Yun patted the head of the little girl hiding behind him.

He smiled and held up one finger, saying.

"First of all, I'm not human, I'm a demon, and I won't die."

Then extend the second finger.

"Secondly, there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world, nor is there any such thing as heaven or hell. Whether one is reborn or not is meaningless."

Finally, Gu Yun extended his third finger.

"The most important thing is that I didn't kill you. If you bled to death, who's to blame? Can't you regenerate limbs? No way, no way."

Tiger didn't understand what Gu Yun meant by "demon" or anything else, but he did understand one thing.

Gu Yun never intended to leave alive from the very beginning.

At this moment, all hope was gone. He glared fiercely at Gu Yun and shouted.

"go to hell!"

"Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me."

Tiger used his last bit of strength to push off with his legs and charge forward with his knife, but instead of Gu Yun, he stabbed at the little girl to the side.

He's not stupid; Gu Yun is not someone he can fight against.

But this little rascal is different.

I just gave him a hard time.

Even if I die, you won't live!

Unfortunately, Gu Yun saw everything Tiger Brother did.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

"thump!"

Three golden lights flashed by, and in an instant, Tiger's four limbs were all cut off.

Without any limb support, the body fell straight onto the pool of blood, and with the momentum, it tumbled past Gu Yun down the steps, leaving only a shocking trail of blood on the ground.
