143: Is this all there is?

Feeling the familiar stinging pain on his neck, Zhao Yunsou was so scared he didn't dare to move a muscle.

In his heart, he had already cursed Old Bai, Iron Sword, and the other high-level players a hundred times... What about the promised safety?

What about the promised 'f*cking' dismemberment of Night Ember?

Zhao Yunsou really couldn't understand how Night Ember had snuck in, given the strict security here!

In his panic, Zhao Yunsou even forgot the rule that PK was not allowed in the main city.

"Young Master, don't worry, PK is not allowed in the main city!"

At Old Bai's reminder, Zhao Yunsou's eyes immediately lit up.

His heart, which had been frozen by the cold, felt as if it had seen sunlight again... "That's right, PK is not allowed in the main city!"

"Hahaha, Night Ember, players aren't allowed to PK in the main city. If you've got the guts, kill me!!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhao Yunsou laughed wildly.

Tears of excitement even streamed from the corners of his eyes.

This feeling of escaping death made Zhao Yunsou extremely smug... The PK rules in every main city are very strict.

As long as Night Ember dared to make a move, the main city rules would immediately appear and eliminate him.

For a time, Zhao Yunsou became fearless, even arrogant.

"Night Ember, don't just hold the knife to my neck, hurry up and make your move!"

Zhao Yunsou yelled, even pushing his neck closer to the sharp edge of the shadow dragons fang.

"You little bastard, hurry up and make your move!"

"If you don't act, it'll be you who dies today!!"

Zhao Yunsou's face gradually became twisted, and an unnatural flush appeared on his cheeks.

Among the surrounding players, five or six Space-type players immediately stepped out.

The skills in the hands of these Space-type players were ready, prepared to teleport Lin Du to a wilderness map at any moment... *Smack*—

Lin Du smacked his head hard, sighing in annoyance.

"Ah! I completely forgot about that."

"Players aren't allowed to PK in the main city, so what should I do?"

An extremely conflicted expression showed on the clown mask.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunsou laughed even more happily.

His smile was cold, and within it, one could faintly hear the chilling sound of teeth grinding.

Zhao Yunsou, the Eldest Young Master of the Imperial Capital Zhao Family, one of the Four Young Masters of the Divine Dragon Country, never imagined he would lose three lives consecutively in Yunlong City.

Night Ember was one of the culprits who took his life!

Zhao Yunsou wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood!!

"Night Ember, even if you were a god descended from heaven today, you wouldn't be able to escape from here!"

"I was wondering how to catch you, but since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhao Yunsou waved at the several Space-type players beside him.

"All of you, work together and teleport everyone here to Snow Wolf Valley."

"Since the story began in Snow Wolf Valley, let the story end in Snow Wolf Valley!"

..."Wait!"

Lin Du suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

"Night Ember, do you have any last words?" Zhao Yunsou bared his teeth, staring fiercely at Lin Du.

Lin Du retorted to Zhao Yunsou, "Do *you* have any last words?"

Zhao Yunsou seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and he abruptly slammed his head against the clown mask.

The two stood face to face, their eyes meeting!

Zhao Yunsou said, word by word, through gritted teeth, "Night Ember, this is my home turf, you don't have the right to say such things."

"On my territory, your life no longer belongs to you. If I want you to die, you must die!"

"Oh?"

"Is that so?" Lin Du slowly curved his lips.

He flipped his wrist, and a pale white talisman appeared in his hand.

"You want me to die, but you also have to see if the Great Teleportation Talisman in my hand agrees!"

[Great Teleportation Talisman (Disposable): After use, it can take a person in physical contact to a marked location. The user can only take one person]

Whoosh—

As Lin Du spoke, the Great Teleportation Talisman in his hand spontaneously ignited without wind.

Old Bai and Iron Sword's expressions changed drastically.

They immediately thought of the "Lesser Dragon God Talisman" in Snow Wolf Valley, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in their minds.

"Not good!"

"Young Master, quickly get away, don't stand with him!!"

It was too late when Old Bai and Iron Sword warned him.

The Great Teleportation Talisman burned to ashes in an instant, and a faint white light engulfed Lin Du and Zhao Yunsou... Zhao Yunsou's figure disappeared from his original spot in a daze.

Whoosh—

The hall fell into a deathly silence... Yunlong City exit, next to the city wall.

Two faint white light circles appeared out of nowhere.

Hum—

Within the light circles, two figures subsequently appeared.

Zhao Yunsou stood blankly, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings. He was so scared that his soul nearly left his body, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The distant forest and the black wall behind him made Zhao Yunsou realize that this was not inside Yunlong City.

He was now standing outside Yunlong City!

The smug expression on Zhao Yunsou's face vanished completely, and the fierce brutality in his eyes turned into terror... "H-how did I end up here!"

"How did you get me here right under their noses!"

Zhao Yunsou, terrified, leaned against the wall, his face full of disbelief.

Lin Du waved the already burnt Great Teleportation Talisman in his hand and said indifferently, "I already warned you that the territory couldn't save your life. Why didn't you believe me?"

Zhao Yunsou's body trembled like a sieve, his eyes scanning the surroundings in panic.

He tried to find one or two Heaven and Earth Share Longevity players, or acquaintances, to save his life.

But after searching for a long time, there wasn't even a single hair around... Lin Du smiled faintly, "Eldest Young Master Zhao, don't waste your energy, no one here can save you."

I personally chose this place; how could I let you have an opportunity?

Zhao Yunsou looked at Lin Du in horror, "Let me go, our past grievances will be wiped clean, and I will never pursue the matter of you killing me again!"

Lin Du looked at Zhao Yunsou with the gaze one would give an idiot.

"I went to all this trouble to bring you here; do you think I'd just let you go?"

"I already told you before to pay some money for your life, but since you're unwilling, then I can only take your life."

Lin Du gently cut a small incision on Zhao Yunsou's chest with the shadow dragons fang.

Drip—

Drip—

The shadow dragons fang was exceptionally sharp; the wound it caused looked like a thin line, and blood dripped from the thin line... The cold stinging pain made Zhao Yunsou's body stiffen.

Fear also drowned his reason.

[Crippling Fang: After hitting the target, there is a 10% chance to trigger a fear effect, increasing pain by 100%]

The last special effect of the shadow dragons fang was triggered.

Waves of excruciating pain made Zhao Yunsou feel like he was dying.

"Y-Night Ember, don't kill me!"

"I can give you all the 'lifespan value' on me!!"

Lin Du shook his head, "It's too late for you to think about buying your life now, I've lost my patience..."

Zhao Yunsou's voice took on a crying tone.

"Night Ember, I can add more money!"

"Add a lot of money!!"

Lin Du raised his head with interest.

"Then I'll give you one more chance, make your offer! Name a reasonable price for your own life!"

"Oh, right."

"You only get one chance to make an offer!"

Zhao Yunsou didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, taking out all the cards from his backpack.

If money was lost, he could ask his family for it, but if his life was gone, then it was truly gone... "Night Ember, all my cards are here, there's roughly 120,000 years of 'lifespan value' inside!"

120,000 years?

Is that all there is?

Lin Du was a little disappointed.

Zhao Yunsou observed his expression and saw Lin Du's dissatisfaction.

He hastily said, "I usually don't carry too much 'lifespan value'. If I need it, I'll ask the family directly."

"If you think it's not enough, I can ask the family for more for you!"

Lin Du naturally couldn't agree to such a thing.

He needed to prioritize safety now; if the Imperial Capital Zhao Family interfered now, it might lead to unexpected complications.

"No need, just these will do!"

Lin Du transferred the 'lifespan value' from the cards to his own card.

After everything was completed, Lin Du looked at Zhao Yunsou.

"Are you ready?"

Zhao Yunsou was startled, "What?"

Pfft—

A slender black claw provided the answer.

The Fierce Dream Nightmare appeared at some unknown moment, its sharp little claw deeply piercing into Zhao Yunsou's chest... Zhao Yunsou rolled his eyes in pain.

"Y-you, didn't you say you wouldn't kill me if I gave you 'lifespan value'?"

Lin Du nodded.

"That's right."

"I didn't do it myself."

"You, Zhao Yunsou, were killed by a spirit beast. What does that have to do with me, Night Ember!"
