"Hehe!" Xue An chuckled indifferently, then said blandly, "Fulfill a promise? What promise to fulfill?"
Taotie’s body instantly went rigid, and beads of sweat appeared densely over his face.
"Of...of course it’s the three things I promised you earlier! As long as you give the order, I will do my utmost to accomplish it for you."
As he spoke, Taotie’s tone had already descended to the utmost humility, almost kneeling down and begging for mercy.
Yet Xue An didn’t speak; instead, he looked at it with an inscrutable smile.
After a long moment, Xue An finally said, gloomily, "You wouldn’t really think that things have come to this, and you can still get away by just accomplishing three tasks for me like before, would you?"
With this simple sentence, Taotie felt a chill directly shoot through his heart.
"Your...your words, what do they mean?"
"What do they mean?" Xue An sneered, "You broke your word, even attempted to renege, so naturally you’ll have to pay a price!"
Speaking this, Xue An’s palm gently stroked the top of Taotie’s head, "So, what price do you think you should pay?"
Taotie dared not move, only speaking in a trembling voice, "I...I don’t know!"
"Don’t know?" Xue An’s lips turned upward, "Then I will make you know!"
As he spoke, his finger suddenly slashed down.
The finger was as sharp as a knife, slicing from the top of Taotie’s head to its brow.
Blood instantly spurted, and Taotie’s whole body trembled with pain.
Yet Xue An seemed unsatisfied; he directly reached into the wound and tore it open.
A large piece of flesh was instantly peeled back, revealing the white skull beneath.
And on the bone between the brows was an enormous crystal.
It was the most prized top elixir of Taotie and other ancient beasts.
This crystal, entirely flawless, was formed from the purest essence of Divine Sense in Taotie’s mind and had a myriad of miraculous uses.
Its importance to Taotie was self-evident.
But at this moment, Xue An forcefully grasped the crystal and yanked it down.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the crystal was forcibly broken off by Xue An.
Taotie let out an ear-piercing wail, and milky-white liquid seeped from the wound.
Sss!
Many people drew in a sharp breath.
That was too brutal!
But Xue An nonchalantly weighed the crystal in his hand and said to the Taotie, whose face was contorted with extreme pain.
"Your top elixir is not bad, but rest assured, I won’t take it from you!"
But before Taotie could breathe a sigh of relief, Xue An’s next sentence plunged him into utter despair.
"But before returning it to you, I want to make a small, insignificant soul contract with you, how about that?"
Upon hearing this,
Taotie almost cried out, shouting with a voice that carried sobs, "Spare...spare me!"
But Xue An shook his head, "This is the price you must pay; I did give you a chance before, but alas... you didn’t cherish it!"
Speaking this, Xue An’s eyes shone brilliantly, powerful Divine Sense instantly surged out, and he began forcibly altering everything in the crystal.
Taotie couldn’t move, only looking at Xue An with utmost terror.
At this moment, in his eyes, the youth in front of him was akin to a demon.
Everyone present was also bewildered by this scene.
Can it be true!
That’s one of the four ancient fierce beasts, Taotie!
