Berserk God of War

72: Chapter 072 Heavenly Realm Demon Beast 72: Chapter 072 Heavenly Realm Demon Beast Sikong Jing stared at her and replied, “You’re an assassin, and a very skilled one at that, but you should be well aware that assassins killing beyond their level is a common occurrence, and I too can become an assassin to take your life.”

From the black-clad woman’s aura and movements, Sikong Jing easily determined that she was an assassin.

The next instant, Sikong Jing vanished on the spot, burrowing into the jungle.

The fierce killing intent that surrounded them also disappeared without a trace.

Neither Su Yue Immortal nor Old Zhang and Ah Hu could find him all of a sudden, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Or rather, he had once again transformed into a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel.

Having created the Beast Skill Flowing Cloud, Sikong Jing was like a Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel in the jungle, and with his extensive combat experience on the battlefield, Su Yue Immortal was unlikely to find him.

The next instant, Sikong Jing reappeared right behind Su Yue Immortal.

In the moment before Su Yue Immortal realized, a voice sounded, “Not everyone is entitled to a fight to the death.”

Suddenly, Su Yue Immortal’s hair stood on end, and she turned with a sword strike.

But Sikong Jing had already retreated and reentered the jungle, his voice ringing out again, “You want to threaten me by killing my two friends, but your cultivation is far from sufficient.”

Su Yue Immortal, looking frantic, kept scanning her surroundings, but…

she found nothing.

The opponent’s voice seemed to be coming from all directions.

“If I had wanted to kill you just now, it would have taken only the blink of an eye.”

Suddenly, Sikong Jing’s voice appeared again behind Su Yue Immortal, who turned sharply.

But in the blink of an eye, he was gone, and when she looked again, he had appeared in front of the two soldiers, moving incredibly fast.

Gulu…

Su Yue Immortal swallowed nervously, as a deep sense of fear emerged within her.

Then, Sikong Jing said, “Considering your desperate search for an Elixir, I’ll spare your life.”

Having said that, he signaled to Old Zhang and Ah Hu, then turned and departed.

Su Yue Immortal was left alone in the jungle, clueless, with images of her assassin instructor and all the assassins she had ever met flashing through her mind, none as terrifying as the man she had just encountered.

And he was only at the Fourth Level of the Dark Realm, which was incredibly exaggerated.

Watching the three figures receding into the distance, Su Yue Immortal suddenly called out, “Wait a moment.”

Sikong Jing looked back, “Hmm?”

Logically, the black-clad woman should have lost her battle intent by now, as she, being an assassin, should understand how great the gap was between them.

Su Yue Immortal’s face changed repeatedly, then suddenly, she clenched her teeth and knelt in the direction of Sikong Jing.

In an instant, Sikong Jing’s expression was one of utter astonishment.

“I beg you for the inner core of the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel, no matter the conditions,” Su Yue Immortal’s voice trembled.

Sikong Jing fell silent, capable of being heartless and indifferent to any enemy, but he couldn’t stand such an act.

His heart was not made of stone.

The black-clad woman’s expression was earnest and unfeigned, her plea sincere.

However, since it was meant for his father-in-law, he still shook his head.

Just as Su Yue Immortal’s expression turned desperate, Sikong Jing then asked, “What do you need the inner core for?”

Su Yue Immortal was stunned before slowly looking down, her voice squeezed through clenched teeth, “I want to save my father, even though I wish he were dead, but I…

still want to save him, I’m just that despicable.”

Sikong Jing was puzzled.

It was expected to heal and save lives, but her latter words left him visibly bewildered.

Wishing her father dead, yet wanting to save his life.

“I’m an assassin.

I hardly have any free time, and this little bit of time I’ve managed to get, I absolutely cannot miss the chance to get the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s inner core, or else I’ll never see him again.”

A single tear fell from Su Yue Immortal’s eye onto a leaf on the ground, then gently slid off and merged into the soil.

She fed her father an Elixir, but that could only ease his condition temporarily.

After checking his body, she knew that once the Elixir’s effects wore off, her father would die without any chance of recovery.

The only thing Su Yue Immortal could find to prolong her father’s life during this brief time of freedom was the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s inner core.

“I’m sorry, but I also need this inner core to save the life of someone dear to me.

I can’t give it to you,” Sikong Jing said slowly.

Su Yue Immortal lifted her head, her eyes filled with bitterness and despair.

The next instant, Sikong Jing said, “You wait here for me for half a day; I’ll give you the second Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s inner core.”

“Ah?” Su Yue Immortal couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, her face full of confusion.

By this time, Sikong Jing had already dashed toward the deeper parts of Ru Yun Mountain, clearly intending to catch the second Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel.

He vanished in front of Su Yue Immortal and Old Zhang Ah Hu in the blink of an eye.

“Brother Sikong…” Old Zhang and Ah Hu opened their mouths to call out.

Are you really going to leave us here to face this terrifying, Peak Human Realm female assassin?

We’re scared!

Su Yue Immortal looked stunned as she watched Sikong Jing disappear, then slowly got up and turned to Old Zhang and Ah Hu asking, “Can he really get a second Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel’s inner core?”

After exchanging a glance, Ah Hu said, “As long as there are Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrels left in Ru Yun Mountain, none can escape.”

Remembering how Sikong Jing had captured the Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrels before, how could any squirrel evade the capture of the “enlarged Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel”?

As Su Yue Immortal waited anxiously, half a day passed by.

“Roar!”

A terrifying roar came from the depths of Ru Yun Mountain, shaking the very earth.

Su Yue Immortal’s eyes widened as she shouted, “A Heavenly Realm Demon Beast.”

Suddenly, a figure appeared before the three of them; it was Sikong Jing, who had left for half the day.

Indeed, he was carrying the second Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel and tossed it directly to Su Yue Immortal.

Before she could recover from her shock, Sikong Jing said, “Run quickly, the Heavenly Realm Demon Beast is chasing me.”

Saying so, he gestured to Ah Hu and Old Zhang, and the three of them vanished swiftly into the jungle.

Holding the weighty Flowing Cloud Flying Squirrel, Su Yue Immortal stood dumbfounded, then felt the terrifying and oppressive presence of the Heavenly Realm Demon Beast bearing down on her.

Without time to rejoice, she too followed the direction of Sikong Jing and the others and fled.

The four of them darted through the jungle.

But at that moment, Sikong Jing stopped and shouted, “No good, the difference in realms is too great.

Throw away what you have in your hand and find somewhere to hide.”

He then led Ah Hu and Old Zhang into a large crack in the ground.

Su Yue Immortal also bit her lip and followed them into the crevice.

“Both of you, stay close to me, hide your breath as deeply as you can, and hold your breath.”

Sikong Jing spoke quickly and then emitted an aura identical to the jungle’s, covering both men.

After he finished, he asked Su Yue Immortal who was not far away, “Are you alright?”

Su Yue Immortal nodded her head without saying a word.

The four of them held their breath in the large crevice as the terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Realm Demon Beast descended.

Suddenly, a massive beast appeared around them; peering through the gap, they could see it was a pure golden tiger.

It was the Gold Splitting Steel Teeth Tiger, a fearsome demon beast that existed between the realms of Heaven and Transcendence.

It was the king of the jungle, and in Ru Yun Mountain, it was an invincible presence.
