The Water Kylin's head was limping down. The pair of eyes that stared at Darren were heaving hot glares, and steamy breaths escaped from his nostrils. Obviously, the creature refused to bend a knee to Darren.
"Beat him!" Seeing the Water Kylin's act of refusal, Darren gave Finley his command.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With swift and articulate moves, Finley kicked the Water Kylin hard, and the creature was rolling like an airless ball in no time.
"Do you want to give your loyalty to me or be mistreated by me? Choose your fate. The former one or the latter? I'm giving you the last chance!" Darren's cold voice erupted again.
The Water Kylin remained to lie on his stomach, shedding blood all over. It looked as if the Water Kylin was dead.
"I know you are playing dead!" This time, Darren walked to where the Water Kylin was lying and stabbed his leg with his sword. The sword intent inflicted great pain in the Water Kylin's meridians, and it made the creature roll frantically.
Roar!
A loud sound cluttered as the Water Kylin bellowed in great pain.
"You are mean! You are as feeble as an ant. You don't deserve my loyalty!" The voice that came out the Water Kylin's mouth was weak, but he managed to be arrogant.
"Ha, ha! So you actually can speak!" Though he couldn't understand why, Darren had a strange feeling about the Water Kylin. He knew that a demonic monster at high levels usually could speak, but why this ancient legendary beast kept his silence?
"Don't speak too much. You wanted to kill Darren before, right? Now you are beaten by me like a dead dog. Where do you pull the strength to call us ants? You wish that we could have killed you, right?" Finley snarled and kicked the Water Kylin again—much harder this time.
"Haarooo..." Seeing that Finley was rushing to attack him, the Water Kylin shook his broken body in fear and shouted, "You are strong! I meant him, that weak lad! He is an ant. He could have died a miserable death thousands of times if not because of you. You are such a handsome cultivator to help him."
"Pfft!"
Hearing that, Darren laughed loudly. The Water Kylin was sucking Finley up.
