366: Chapter 365 You Should Pay Your Debt

Yan Guofa's gaunt cheeks were completely devoid of color, appearing slightly greenish-black, as if death were not far off.

With each Slash, his injuries grew increasingly severe.

At this rate, he might not even last until Chu Xuan reached him.

Yan Guofa glanced to the side at the now-vanished Li Tairen, of whom only a pile of tattered clothes remained.

His expression carried a hint of sorrow and bitterness.

"It seems my persistence was entirely meaningless; there is no one left in this world who can understand me..."

Then, his gaze fell back onto Chu Xuan. He lowered his hand that had been grasping at the Void Realm and sighed softly.

"Worthy of being the person Yang Yu chose. Your strength far exceeds my expectations; you are already more than capable of handling the identity of an Inspector."

Chu Xuan immediately felt that his health points were no longer draining, but he did not stop. As he condensed another Slash, he struck out again without a moment's delay.

"At this point, don't you think it's a bit late to want to stop?" Chu Xuan spoke indifferently. Through his Eye of Insight, he noticed that the opponent had lost another 16 health points.

Yan Guofa looked down at the wounds on his body that were emitting Black Flame, his expression inscrutable as he sighed gloomily.

"If I were ten years younger... no, even just five years younger, you wouldn't have the chance to get close to me. My sealing range could reach 300 meters, and your Slash wouldn't be able to touch me in the slightest."

"I could easily take your health points..."

"What a pity; this era no longer belongs to me..."

As Yan Guofa let out a long sigh, another Slash landed on him, causing his aged body to tremble for the first time.

"Where are there so many 'ifs' in this world? Since you've made your choice, you must be prepared to face the consequences." Chu Xuan walked forward slowly, his steps unwavering.

"Even if you were twenty years younger, you still wouldn't be able to stop me!"

Chu Xuan's confidence came from more than just his current frontal combat strength.

He also had one ultimate trump card.

That was the world-class [Assimilation] skill.

This was a reward he had obtained back when he first became a Purifier, bolstered by the World Power and having killed the Night Demon twice in a row.

Once used, it would be equivalent to the world itself helping him assimilate the target, and its power was far beyond what the Night Demon could compare to.

Chu Xuan had been saving it, waiting for the most appropriate target.

Facing this aging Yan Guofa, Chu Xuan didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Besides that, he also had his werewolf kill cards as a backup plan.

Including the random teleportation scrolls...

Amidst these thoughts, Chu Xuan did not pause. As another Slash formed within him, he continued to fire it off.

Yan Guofa's body was already teetering.

He slowly took out a stack of golden spiritual money, then a black scroll appeared in his other hand. He said hoarsely:

"Here is spirit money worth 1,500 spirituality value, as well as a flight skill scroll. Consider it my compensation to you."

"If you had shown these things before you acted, I might have spared Li Tairen's life, but now..." Chu Xuan suddenly smiled, and another Slash roared out.

Yan Guofa said, "This should be very useful to you, right? If you truly kill me, you won't get any benefits. Don't you want it? With a flight skill, your combat style will become more flexible, and your strength will increase significantly."

Chu Xuan's eyebrows rose slightly, and then he smiled again.

"You're right, I do want it, but..."

Chu Xuan's voice paused slightly, and a broken porcelain bowl emitting a faint white glow suddenly appeared in his hand.

His eyes shone brightly. "I don't need you to give it to me; I can take it myself!"

Holding the porcelain bowl, Chu Xuan shouted coldly:

"Yan Guofa, it's time to pay your debt!"

"The skill scroll in your hand is mine, and those fifteen golden spiritual money are also mine..."

"It's time to pay your debt!"

As Chu Xuan's words left his mouth in succession, Yan Guofa's greenish-black face darkened even further.

This White Porcelain Bowl that had suddenly appeared in Chu Xuan's hand...

Was precisely the item he had obtained after killing the Debt-Collecting Ghost.

Its function was to demand the target's wealth, and it was forcibly effective on those level 12 or below.

If the target refused, they would lose 50% to 120% of the user's health points.

Since then, the enemies Chu Xuan encountered were easily dealt with; if he wanted something, he would just snatch it directly, so he hadn't had much chance to use it.

Now was the perfect time to test its effectiveness on Yan Guofa.

"You actually have a trick like this..."

Yan Guofa's expression changed slightly, as if he had sensed something.

He happened to be level 12 at this moment, making the forced debt collection effective.

Furthermore, his health points were already nearly depleted.

He could not refuse, no matter what.

In the next second, the scroll and the spirit money all appeared in Chu Xuan's hands.

"As expected... I got them!" Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

At the same time, with a soft bang, Yan Guofa exploded. Amidst the mist of blood, his figure vanished.

Only Yan Guofa's even weaker voice remained in the area, drifting and falling into everyone's ears.

"I really didn't expect that I would end up fleeing in panic."

"I have done my best to fulfill my mission. Although I didn't succeed, I have no regrets..."

"My era no longer belongs to me. In the coming new era, I shall live for myself..."

"Young man, the stage is yours now. I hope the next time we meet, you can give me even more surprises..."
