Hurry! Kill him! Shi An is the dragon!

Chapter 118

Shi Rui's pupils clenched, and his face lost all color.

The teenager at the door asked as he naturally stepped in:

"Is Shi Zechun here?"

Shi Rui, as if he had been punched in the face, took a step backward, his legs weak, his mouth open, but his throat, as if he had been strangled, could only produce monotonous syllables:

"You ...... you ......"

Looking at Shi Rui who stammered and couldn't speak, Shi An slightly frowned, showing a distressed expression, and softly said:

"You know I don't like to waste time."

"!!!"

The events of that night had been forced into oblivion by Shi Rui, but now they came back to her like a tidal wave, clear as day, with no detail left out.

Shi Rui shivered violently, and stammered out a reply:

"He's, uh, he's not in."

In fact, Shi Zechun hasn't been home for three days.

Shi Rui didn't know exactly what had happened or where exactly Shi Zechun was, but based on Shi Zechun's ironic expression when he left the house three days ago, he guessed that that matter was probably difficult to solve easily.

Shi An has naturally walked into the living room at this moment.

He nestled lazily into the couch, then raised his chin toward Shi Rui, "Call him."

At that moment, Butler, who was in the main house of the Toki family, heard the commotion, thought he had a visitor, and hurried out of the inner room.

At the sight of the scene before him, he couldn't help but freeze.

The long lost and unappreciated teenager was now relaxing in the sofa with a pleasant expression and a lazy posture.

The second son, who was highly valued by his master, stood far away, his face pale and drenched in cold sweat, and was now shivering as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.

What a shame!

Butler frowned hard and was about to walk up and reprimand.

It was at this moment that the teenager sitting on the couch lightly swept over in this direction.

His eyes were as dark as eternal night, with a little careless smile, and a little searing spark burning silently in the depths of his pupils.

In an instant, Butler felt himself being held in place by an invisible pressure, his chest felt like a thousand pounds of stone, and cold sweat subconsciously seeped out from his forehead, trembling as if he were a leaf in the wind.

It was like being stared at by a fierce beast, and no other thought could rise except to flee.

Butler whitens his face and stumbles backward.

Shi An withdrew his eyes and yawned in boredom, looking towards Shi Rui:

"Well?"

"......"

Shi Rui said weakly as he clutched the cell phone that emitted a busy signal:

"Call, can't get through."

"So." Shi An thought about it and stood up from the couch, "Alright then."

Shi An's sudden movement startled Shi Rui, and his whole body leapt back a step as if he were a frightened rabbit, looking at Shi An across the street in a state of shock.

Only the other asked gently:

"Can you drive?"

Shi Rui: "......"

He froze for a few seconds, "Wh, what?"

Shi An walks in that direction, Shi Rui subconsciously steps back, but his spine hits the wall.

"I won't."

The teenager held out his hand, a slip of paper between his slender white fingers, and ordered as a matter of course:

"Take me here."

*

The vehicle arrived at a deserted mountain with few people.

Shi Rui knows this place.

Though the ownership of this area belonged to the Shi family, he himself had never been here - or rather, Shi Zechun did not allow him, nor anyone else, to approach this mysterious area.

Shi Rui swallowed hard and raised his eyes toward the barren mountains not far away.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that an ominous aura seemed to permeate the air, making him instinctively feel danger and panic.

"Go." The teenager's lazy voice sounded behind him.

Shi Rui had a jolt and could only move forward stiffly.

The further they went, the more the sunlight overhead seemed dim and cold, as if it was obscured by a layer of gray mist, and the air could vaguely pick up a bit of the smell of blood, which became thicker as they moved forward.

Not far away, the sounds of engagement could be faintly heard.

The shouts of the humans mixed with the hissing of the demons in everything, and the collision of hot and cold weapons brought up strong fluctuations of magic power.

Is ...... in combat up front?

Shi Rui froze.

Suddenly, a huge demonic creature sprang out of the thick fog beside him.

It was wounded and already killing, looking ghastly and insane, indiscriminately attacking every living thing it could see, roaring and charging at them.

Too close.

Shi Rui could almost smell the fishy odor spewing from its mouth as the images flowed from frame to frame.

He could clearly feel the fear of approaching death and subconsciously let out a scream:

"Ka-da!"

The sound of teeth clenching sounded in front of his eyes.

But the expected pain didn't hit.

Shi Rui slowly opened his eyes.

Only to see the demonic creature lying on its back in front of him, like an animal that instinctively curled up after seeing a natural enemy, its head pressed tightly on top of the ground, a fearful whimper escaping from its throat, and its huge body trembling violently.

"......" Shi Rui didn't slow down for a long time.

This, what's going on here?

It was at this moment that the sound of unhurried footsteps came from behind.

Shi An came over.

The ugly, massive demonic creature suddenly trembled, letting out a squeak as if it had been painfully punched, like some sort of forcibly suppressed scream, and shivered in front of the slender-framed teenager.

"Get out of the way."

The teenager's voice was gentle, and he said softly, "Get lost."

"Ooooooohhhh--"

As if the demonic creature understood his words, it immediately shuddered violently, panicked and stood up, fleeing towards the fog with its tail between its legs.

Shi Rui: "......"

He looked toward Shi An in horror.

...... monsters.

Sure enough, it's a monster.

There were no other words to describe the teenager in front of him other than those two words.

Not far away, the hired ability users were struggling to fight the mutated demons.

These demons were like tireless killing machines, after killing one, the second one would pounce on them again to fill up the gap, making them tired of dealing with them.

Shi Zechun stood at the back, his teeth clenched as he glared viciously at the mass of demons in front of him, fear mixed with loathing in his eyes.

He hissed:

"How long before we get rid of them!"

"Fuck! How can these things not be killed at all!"

One of the power users cursed loudly.

"I'm paying you guys to clean up the demons!" Shi Zechun returned nonchalantly, looking slightly agitated, "You've already taken too long!"

It was at this moment that the seething mass of demons in front of them suddenly became quiet.

In unison, they looked in a certain direction behind them, and fear swept through their eyes at the same time.

Immediately afterward, as if they had reached an agreement, the demons turned and fled in the opposite direction as fast as they could after a short pause.

In just a few seconds, however, the demons that had just surrounded the humans disappeared without a trace, leaving only the humans who had not yet regained their senses to stand frozen in the distance, weapons in hand.

"......"

The humans looked at each other with bewilderment.

What just happened?

It was at this moment that not far away, in the light gray mist, blurred figures gradually appeared.

Shi Zechun froze at the sight of the man at the head of the group and yelped in disbelief:

"Xiao Rui?"

He narrowed his eyes majestically and gritted his teeth:

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you, here ......"

However, before Shi Zechun could finish his sentence, he saw a second person behind Shi Rui.

The teenager had a slender figure, a pair of pitch-black eyes that were deep and serene, and obviously still had the same features, but inexplicably made Shi Zechun feel very unfamiliar.

"...... Shi An?"

Shi Zechun was surprised to see his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but the next moment his face immediately sank:

"Why are you here too?"

It took a moment for the competent person on the sidelines to snap out of the daze he had just been in.

The man in the lead wiped the remaining blood on his face, stepped forward, spat at Shi Zechun, and coldly said, "Fuck it, we don't want your little payoff, that little money isn't worth selling our lives for, we can't deal with your side of the matter, so please hire someone else."

After saying that, he waved his hand toward the people behind him, "Let's go."

Shi Zechun is anxious:

"Wait! You can't just leave me here!"

But those abilities acted as if they hadn't heard it.

Soon the mists were empty.

All that was left in front of him was an empty battlefield in disarray, the ground was filled with black, black, red and red blood of various colors, as well as the broken corpses of demonic creatures, the smell of blood in the air was so thick that it made people want to vomit, and all around him there was a death-like silence that instinctively made people feel panicked.

Shi Zechun's expression became more somber as he stared at the direction where the group of ability users had disappeared:

"Fuckin' bunch of trash."

He turned, striding toward his two sons, and cursed sharply and angrily, "What are you doing here in the way? Did I not tell you never to come near here?"

While this was going on, Shi An crossed right over to him and headed off into the distance.

Shi Zechun was first stunned, then instantly furious:

"Shi An! What kind of attitude is that!"

Shi An, however, continued to walk forward as if she hadn't heard him.

I don't know when, but the gray fog had lifted a bit.

In front of him was a high rock wall, with smooth, steep walls that stretched straight into the depths of the mist, and a huge cavern high up in the wall, which was securely sealed by an iron door.

The special steel is able to withstand almost any magical attack, and the thick doors are set with the highest precision combination locks for tight security.

The teenager stood in front of that iron door, looking so slender and small.

Shi An twisted his head back and looked toward Shi Zechun.

He blinked and asked in a curious tone, "What's in here?"

"None of your business!"

Shi Zechun was blue in the face:

"You get back here! Don't think I won't fight you now that you're all grown up!"

Shi Rui's face turned even whiter.

He hastily tugged at Shi Zechun's hand and shook his head frantically at him, signaling to him with startled eyes, "Father, don't ......"

That, that's a monster!

Shi An is not the human they used to be.

Shi Zechun, however, seems to have completely missed his youngest son's cue.

He coldly shook off Shi Rui's hand and walked in Shi An's direction:

"Did you fucking hear that-"

But before Shi Zechun's words had left his mouth, he saw Shi An, not far away, with his back to him, raise his hand and press it against the iron door.

The blackened steel was hard and cold, while the teenager's hands were soft and white, forming an extremely strong visual impact in comparison.

In the next second, the blackened steel suddenly began to glow red and bright.

It was as if it was ignited from the inside and began to melt and deform at an unimaginable speed, crimson voids appeared on top of the iron gate, hot water mixed with silver and black flowed down like magma, only in the blink of an eye a large reddish hole appeared on the steel gate that had just majestically towered in front of the crowd.

Shi Zechun froze, his steps subconsciously stopping.

And according to Shi Rui's description, isn't Shi An a power user?

More importantly ...... how is this possible?

The door actually melted off?

But this was clearly a special material that he had spent a lot of money on and was able to withstand high-intensity magical attacks, so how could it be so unbearable?

Before Shi Zechun could react, Shi An had already gone in towards the cave, his straight back engulfed in pitch blackness.

Fuck.

Shi Zechun cursed in his heart.

He couldn't think of anything else now, and hurried after him.

"Father, wait--"

Before Shi Rui could finish his sentence, Shi Zechun similarly disappeared into the large hole in the iron door.

Soon he was the only one left in a wasteland.

Behind them was a thin mist and unknown demons, and at their feet was half-dried, sticky blood and demonic corpses.

It was at this moment that a sound of a dead branch being crushed came from behind.

"Ah!"

Shi Rui subconsciously screamed as he twisted his head in panic in the direction the sound came from, but his vision was obscured by a thick fog and he could see nothing.

Thinking of the demonic creature she had just encountered, a look of fear flashed in Shi Rui's eyes.

He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind and slowly walked inside that cave.

Although only a few seconds had passed, the melted iron on the door had solidified, leaving only a large hole with a twisted shape.

Even so, Shi Rui could still feel the residual heat on the metal beside him as he careened through.

The cave was dimly lit, the air was murky, and the smell of molten steel filled the air.

Shi Rui groped in the dark.

He could hear his footsteps echoing within the empty mountain walls, and with every step he took, he felt as if his heart was pounding along with it, an intense sense of panic like a hand squeezing his heart, tightening a little bit as time went on.

Fortunately, the dark passage was short.

Soon Shi Rui saw a light coming from the front.

The light brought a sense of security that had been missing for a long time.

He sighed with relief and, almost instinctively, quickened his pace, dashing out of the reaching darkness-

The next moment, Shi Rui let out a breath of cold air.

Instinctively holding his breath, he raised his eyes in shock and fixed them in the direction from which the light had come.

Splendid gold was stacked on top of each other, the bright yellow surface of the metal reflecting a soft, dazzling shimmer, fist-sized pearls flowing from it as if they didn't want any money, and inside there were more jewels he couldn't even name, gemstones that held mysterious powers and precious diamonds that refracted specks of multicolored light.

It was as if you could still hear the jewels clinking in your ears.

The scene in front of me seemed as if it would only appear in a dream.

Any one of these things can evoke the intense greed that lurks in the heart of a human being.

Shi Rui only then reacted with hindsight that what he had just seen in the passageway was not sunlight, but the light reflected from this mountain of jewelry.

He couldn't help shivering with excitement at the lure of such wealth.

Could ...... these be from the Toki family?

Then wouldn't he, as the heir to the Toki family, also be the heir to these treasures?

While this was going on, Shi Rui heard an explosive cry from a short distance away, "Shi An!!!"

Shi Rui was taken aback and turned his head in the direction from which the sound came.

He saw his nominal "brother" standing in front of the pile of treasures, and raised his hand to press on the surface of this pile of rare treasures.

And his father was standing not far behind him, his eyes horrible and his expression twisted:

"What do you want?"

Shi Zechun stepped forward and said grimly:

"I'm going to give you one last chance, now follow me out immediately or I'll be rude."

Shi An ignored the other man's warning and ran his fingers slowly over the pile of treasure in front of him, letting the polished, smooth precious metal skim under his palm.

He picked up one of the rubies.

"Do you know who it once belonged to?"

The teenager's voice was calm and gentle, seemingly without the slightest rise or fall of emotion.

The precious diamonds on the ring shimmered with a seven-colored glow.

Shi An : "It came from a goblin kingdom, mined and polished by the goblins, then snatched by a black dragon and became part of its lair until a hundred years later, when a stronger dragon burned down its lair and took all its treasures."

For no apparent reason, Shi Zechun suddenly felt a bit intimidated.

However, he quickly re-toughened his attitude, "I don't care who it used to belong to, it's mine now anyway!"

"Yours?"

Shi An asked slowly and rhetorically.

He opened his fingers and let the ruby slip through his fingers, landing with a clink in the pile of treasure.

The teenager turned around, those dark eyes replaced by fiery colors.

Terrifying gold-red vertical pupils burned in the darkness, almost approaching dazzling pure gold, and the vertical pupils were thin and narrow, recklessly displaying inhuman terror and intimidation:

"Yours?"

Shi Zechun's heart snapped.

He instinctively stepped backward, his feet tripping on the uneven ground, and his whole body planted itself unsteadily.

"You thieves."

Shi An took one step forward, a pair of golden-red eyes staring at the human in front of her, a terrifying aura released from that slender body, a powerful sense of oppression that almost made it impossible to breathe:

"Shameless thief!"

The teenager said viciously.

With every word spat out, the fire in his eyes burned hotter, and intense rage brewed under his eyes.

"You, what the hell are you?!"

Shi Zechun's voice was hoarse with fear.

"Me?" Shi An asked rhetorically.

Silver-white scales rose on his cheeks like ripples on a moonlit lake, reflecting a metallic, cold light.

Shi Zechun's eyes touched Shi An's face, and after a brief moment of shock, a look of panic came over his face and he began to scream hysterically:

"Demon! You're a demon!!!"

"Demons?" Shi An's pace lurched as he thought about the answer:

"You can say that if you want."

The smile on the young man's face was pure, but the bottom of his eyes were devoid of warmth as a wisp of dragon flame emerged from his fingertips, the golden-red firelight pulsing within the dimly lit cavern, radiating a terrifying power outward:

"But I prefer that you call me the owner of these treasures."

"No, it can't be!!!"

Shi Zechun's voice was so hoarse that his original timbre was barely audible, "The dragons have disappeared! There are no more dragons on this continent!"

...... dragon?

Shi Rui's pupils clenched, hardly believing his ears.

...... Shi An, a dragon?

The conclusion is so mind-boggling, yet so logical and almost irrefutable.

Whether it was the power that was so strong that it was almost terrifying, the deterrent power against demons, or the flame spells that were beyond human imagination.

Shi Rui's mind went back to that night, to the question he had asked in desperation and fear.

--What the hell do you want?

Shi An's answer at the time was:

"It's just taking back what's mine."

"Let's play a game."

Shi An knelt down in front of the man and whispered, "Tell me how much treasure you have used, trafficked, and squandered."

He narrowed his eyes and gave an innocent smile, trailing off slightly as if he was being pouty:

"How about you lie and I'll burn you?"

Taking advantage of Shi An's lack of attention to this side, Shi Rui moved slowly in the direction of the cave entrance, his heart seemingly in his throat, beating frantically in his chest.

Almost there. Almost there. It's almost time to leave.

Just get out and he can call for help.

The treasure was the Toki family's and his!

It was at this moment that the sound of clear footsteps came from the cave entrance not far away.

Shi Rui was startled and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The taller man stepped out of the darkness.

He had silver hair and silver eyelashes, deep blue eyes, pitch-black tactical gloves on his slender hands, and a profoundly cold profile as he looked indifferently in toward the cavern.

-- Mu Hang?

In an instant, new hope rises from Shi Rui's heart.

This one is a legendary dragonslayer!

Mu Hang's line of sight lightly skimmed over the limp Shi Zechun on the ground and finally landed on Shi An's body.

He walked nonchalantly, the hard soles of his boots striking the ground with a dry, crisp sound.

At that moment, Shi Zechun, who was paralyzed on the ground, also noticed the visitor, and his eyes radiated a bright light of hope, and his cold, sweat-slicked face, slightly distorted by ecstasy and fear, hissed as if he had seen a savior:

"Officer Mu!!! Quickly! Kill him! Shi An is a dragon! It's a dragon disguised as a human!!!"

Shi An blinked and looked over.

He was a little surprised, "Did it take me that long?"

Mu Hang: "No."

He stood at Shi An's side, lowered his eyes, and said in a quiet voice, "Just missed you."

Shi Rui: "......"

Shi Zechun: "......"

Huh?

Wait a minute?

What's going on?

The anger in the teenager's pair of golden ruddy vertical pupils gradually extinguished, becoming clean and pure, like beautiful and clear jewels, and that creepy sense of cruelty faded away as much as possible.

Opening his arms, his tone was just as warm and soft and gentle as it had been earlier, but this time it was really pouting:

"I'm so tired oh to cuddle."
