Chapter 216: [179] Blacklist No. 77 Beast Pet Master, Kill! (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions)_4
 

Pei Jinye took advantage of Brother Bi’s matter, and neither of them mentioned much about the events of the day on the way.

After dropping off Pei Jinye, Brother Bi sat in the car and lit a cigarette.

“How unpredictable life is.”

…

Standing in the shadows, Pei Jinye watched Brother Bi leave before he started heading towards the Jiang ancestral home.

Unexpectedly, a call from Father Pei came through.

“Jinye, I’m planning to purchase several properties and put them under your name…”

“Also, there’s another thing. I had a classmate who rented a shop in our food street, and now I can’t get in touch with him. Can you see if you can find anything out… Oh right, his surname is Jin.”

On the phone, Pei Jinye talked to Father Pei about Old Jin’s situation and explained the whole story.

The first reaction of Father Pei wasn’t to question but rather to sigh.

“Back when we were in school, that guy was always up to no good. I didn’t expect that I would still overestimate him… It’s better that he is gone. But will this affect you in any way?”

“It won’t affect me much.”

Pei Jinye laughed, and suddenly his gaze sharpened. He realized through his senses that several birds on both sides of the road kept their eyes fixed on him.

Something was wrong!

“Dad, I’ve got some things to take care of, let’s not talk for now.”

He hung up the phone.

Pei Jinye turned and entered a side alley.

At virtually the same moment, those birds spread their wings and followed him.

But they lost sight of Pei Jinye.

The birds circled inside the alley and after a few rounds, they landed chattering on the surrounding walls.

It wasn’t long until they spread their wings and flew away.

…

In an isolated courtyard within Bu Yang District.

Several birds fluttered down to perch on the branches of a lush locust tree large enough to fill a room.

A few crisp chirps prompted the massive locust tree to shudder.

Had it not been for the calls waking the creature on the tree, one would hardly notice the Giant Python coiled around the tree trunk, its body marked with diamond-shaped dark brown patterns.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, falling on the scales that were shockingly eye-catching, removing even the warmth of the light.

The birds fluttered, not daring to draw near, chirping and chattering.

The commotion caused by the Giant Python brought a hoarse reprimand from inside the house, and instantly the outside became quiet.

“Creak.”

A side wooden window opened, and a shriveled, ancient hand extended outward.

A slightly larger bird landed on the palm, and the old man bent close to listen to its chattering. After the bird chattered for a while, he tossed down a crystal-clear grain of Spirit Rice, and the bird promptly snatched it and flew away.

The old man paid no attention to the squabble among several other birds not far away.

He simply tilted his head in thought.

“Disappeared?”

“Could he have discovered it?”

The old man furrowed his brows.

He turned around.

He went back to the information provided by his employer.

[Pei Jinye, 17 years old, just awakening, Vitality more vigorous than his peers…]

A high school student, through and through – could he really have noticed his surveillance?

Impossible!

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a huge rumble came from the locust tree behind him.

The old man turned to look back, his eyes suddenly wide open.

The coiled Giant Python didn’t even have a chance to leave the tree trunk before someone slammed it into the ground.

“Boom!”

The ground shattered explosively in an instant.

The old man hadn’t even seen the assailant’s face when a hand suddenly reached out to clamp around his throat.

He squawked.

From his body, he suddenly flung out two dark shadows.

They bit firmly onto that arm.

Indeed, they were two exceedingly poisonous Golden Ringed Snakes.

However—

The old man was horrified to discover! The arm that should have been bleeding didn’t show even a mark, and instead, a cracking sound of breaking snake fangs could be heard.

Immediately after.

“Whoosh,” flames rose from the arm.

With a pull of both hands.

The two highly poisonous Golden Ringed Snakes “thud” fell to the ground, breaking into four pieces, consumed by flames in midair.

The old man retreated frantically, knocking over a glass cabinet beside him with a throwing dart, and simultaneously yelled out loud:

“I have nothing to do with you on normal days, we have no grudges, why do you want to kill me?”

“Heard you’re ranked 77th in the dark ranking, is that all?” The come said calmly, disregarding the swarm of poisonous bees rushing toward him…

With just one step!

Instantly, the stone tiles beneath exploded with a terrifying noise, and the ground within a three-meter radius violently shook.

The window sill in front of him, together with the wall, crumbled as if they were made of paper mache, relentlessly crushed by a surge of ferocious power.

This grab came crashing down with no finesse, just pure brute force.

The wild waves stirred up by the Gang Wind enveloped the erupting stone fragments, completely covering the swarm of poisonous bees.

And the old man was completely dumbfounded.

Too brutal!

“Wait, don’t you want to find out something from me?”

He shouted in alarm.

Seeing the incoming attacker’s overwhelming momentum, not wasting a word and directly aiming for his head, he was instantly terror-stricken.

However, there was no place to retreat.

In an instant, that hand had grabbed onto his shoulder, and the terrifying force enveloped him like the bottomless sea, his breathing stiffened, as if he was drowning, unable to struggle at all.

The old man’s eyes bulged, his piercing screams overpowering every other sound he could hear.

Before he could react.

The crushing of his bones made him open his mouth wide to howl in pain.

But the next second…

Darkness enveloped heaven and earth.

All that remained was the sound of agony deep within his soul.

…

As for the outside world—

The exploding Gang Wind swept within three meters of Pei Jinye’s body, tearing apart every living creature that invaded this space.

Two-thirds of the swarm of poisonous bees vanished in an instant.

The remaining small cluster was directly flung away by the air wave at the periphery of the Gang Wind.

The locust tree behind him seemed to have encountered a terrifying hurricane, howling and shaking violently, while the birds had long fled the scene, sensing danger, and the Giant Python was still struggling under the ground, its body continuously hit by flying stone fragments.

Countless memories were emerging one after another in Pei Jinye’s mind.

Silently.

A line of text slowly appeared on the attribute panel.
