The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: I Want to See Who Comes to Kill Me Next

”The Locking Spirit Pill is one of the super effective methods against cultivators, but it’s extremely difficult to refine, and each one is highly valuable, priceless, actually...”

Carson Flores sat calmly in his seat, watching the middle-aged man being burnt to ashes and whispered, ”I wonder who holds such a deep grudge, to actually hire an assassin to kill me, and even use a Locking Spirit Pill...”

Delaney Hunter spoke softly, ”He called you the Human Emperor, so who exactly did he want to kill, Carson Flores or the Human Emperor?”

Carson shook his head, ”Who knows, I wanted to ask him clearly, but he self-immolated directly, not even leaving any remains. He must have been a ruthless character, a very professional assassin, success or death.”

Delaney asked, ”Why didn’t he just strike you directly?”

Carson shrugged, ”Maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to chat and observe up close whether I’d been affected or not. Or perhaps he thought he was killing the Human Emperor, which would be a rare deal, so he wanted to see the Human Emperor’s face filled with fear and despair before verbally trampling him?”

Delaney couldn’t help but chuckle, ”The villain died because he talked too much?”

Carson smiled, ”Even if he had struck directly, the outcome would’ve been the same. If the one who made the move was a Hollow Void Practitioner who caught me by surprise, there might have been a chance of success.”

Delaney looked at Josy’s retracting vines with a peculiar expression.

This Vine Demon, Josy, once nearly took Carson’s life. It was Delaney who arrived just in time, striking the Tree Demon. Josy’s Nascent Soul fled and possessed the Vajra Vine, yet she was still captured by Delaney, and ultimately given to Carson to become a contracted demon servant.

Having possessed the Vajra Vine, Josy had been incredibly weak at the time, but in just a few years, Josy had grown to become so terrifying.

A killer in the Late Phase of Transforming Spirit was like a toddler who had just learned to walk in front of her, easily whipped and knocked to the ground with a few strikes.

Josy even managed to withstand the massive impact of the strike in such a confined space. Otherwise, the entire Flying Boat, if not blown to pieces, would definitely have had a huge hole blown through it, resulting in catastrophic damage and countless casualties.

”Josy, what’s your strength level now? You seem pretty formidable...”

Carson laughed, ”Great Demon, initial stage, roughly equivalent to the initial stage of Hollow Void, I guess.”

Delaney said in surprise, ”How did she advance so fast, her realm is even higher than yours...”

Carson smiled, ”She can devour cultivators’ Primordial Spirits or bodies, I can’t, so naturally her speed isn’t comparable to mine.”

In the Sea of Annihilation, Carson had allowed the three demons to devour the Immortal Slave’s body and Primordial Spirit, not just any ordinary cultivators, but Demi Immortals stronger than those at the Tribulation Crossing stage!

By absorbing the body and spirit of a Demi Immortal, the three demons all got a significant boost, stepping into the Initial Stage of Great Demon.

Facing opponents like Kenji Rollins, Selena Smith, and others in the later stages of Hollow Void, or even Great Perfection of Hollow Void, the three demons were definitely not a match. But against the assassin from the Divinity Transformation Stage just now, it was an easy task.

”What was that thing running on you just now?”

Carson shook his head, ”Not sure, I’ll check it out later.”

The effects of the Locking Spirit Pill didn’t last long, and soon, the Dantians of both Carson and Delaney, which were locked by the pill, began to loosen up, and then everything returned to normal.

After compensating the ship’s owner, Carson returned to his room to check his body and then discovered that his Primordial Spirit had been ”branded.”

Carson tried to remove the brand, but it had no effect whatsoever. It seemed to be deeply integrated into his Primordial Spirit, inseparable.

The voice of Cristopher Hopkins Immortal echoed in the room, ”Don’t bother, you’ve been cursed.”

”A curse?”

Carson’s expression turned to surprise, ”What kind of curse is this, what are its effects? I don’t feel any different.”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal replied, ”It’s a life-for-location curse.”

Carson’s eyes widened, ”Location, so this curse on me allows someone to follow it to find me?”

”Correct!”

Cristopher Hopkins Immortal chuckled, ”You’ve been marked with a curse. As long as it’s there, they will sense your position and easily find you, unless you hide in another realm, like the Mortal Realm, a Secret Realm, or the Immortal Realm...”

Carson smiled bitterly, ”He even cast a curse on me before dying, which means there are other, more powerful assassins coming after me, right?”

Delaney interjected, ”It should be that way. There will definitely be more people coming after you, especially since he said before dying that he’d be waiting for you down below...”

Carson sighed, ”If that’s the case, we might as well travel on our own. The fight in the restaurant earlier was already intense, any more and the entire Flying Boat might have been destroyed, killing who knows how many people.”

”I’d like to see who exactly wants me dead that badly. Could it be the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect? Last time I killed many of their people, they must detest me to the bone. Knowing they can’t take me head-on, they resorted to assassination?”

”The Central Divine Continent Alliance is also a possibility. After all, I did destroy the sect masters of three Sects like the Yuanyan Pavilion. That’s a significant enmity. They have no legal standing and don’t dare to retaliate openly, so they turn to murderers...”

Delaney smiled, ”Killing you head-on isn’t easy. Even if you can’t beat them, you can run. With the Ground Shrinking Technique, they certainly can’t catch you.”

Carson laughed, ”Now that I’m marked, I’ll just wait and see who comes to kill me.”
