1141: Chapter 441: Just Kill Him!
Chapter 441
Upon hearing this, Wang Baitian silently glanced at Qiao Shan, then at Li Huanhuan and her father on the ground, and lastly swept his gaze over everyone in the hall.
He felt there was some truth in Qiao Shan’s words…
If he really wanted to save Li Huanhuan and her father, there was absolutely no need to bring himself here!
If it hadn’t been for him leading the way, he might have spent quite some time to find Li Huanhuan’s whereabouts…
That being said, there truly was no reason for Qiao Shan to save Li Huanhuan’s father, however, the events that had just unfolded were too bizarre!
Wang Baitian looked at Qiao Shan and said, “Since you claim it wasn’t you, I still cannot trust you!
If you really did not want to save him, then go ahead and kill him now!”
“Yes, City Lord!” Qiao Shan responded without hesitation upon hearing the order.
“Azure Light, kill him for me!” Qiao Shan stood up and walked to the side, directing the nine-headed giant python.
Upon hearing Qiao Shan’s words, one of the giant python’s heads bit towards the shopkeeper standing before it…
The shopkeeper, with only the strength of a Dark King, was no match for the nine-headed giant python’s attack.
He forgot to even run and could only stand frozen as the gaping maw approached him…
“Dad…” Li Huanhuan screamed, mustering all her energy to throw herself onto the shopkeeper, presenting her back directly to the mouth of the giant python…
Just as the nine-headed giant python’s huge mouth was about to swallow Li Huanhuan and her father whole, suddenly a red light streaked by…
“Awww~~~”
The ground trembled.
Li Huanhuan and her father both fell to the ground, while the nearby nine-headed giant python emitted a piercing scream, coiling up as the other eight heads clutched the recently bitten head, obviously in agony…
Everyone watched the nine-headed giant python in astonishment, clueless as to what had happened…
Even Wang Baitian and Qiao Shan were taken aback.
What on earth was going on today?
The nine-headed giant python had first moved to save Li Huanhuan’s father, and then, just as it was about to kill both father and daughter, it suddenly screamed in pain.
This was all too strange…
“What’s going on?” Wang Baitian snapped back to reality, his gaze filled with confusion as he looked at Qiao Shan.
For some reason, he felt something was off about both Qiao Shan and his nine-headed giant python.
“I, I don’t know either!” Qiao Shan stammered.
“You don’t know?
What happened to the nine-headed giant python?” Wang Baitian asked.
“Back to the City Lord, it was burned by fire!” Qiao Shan explained.
“What?
Burned by fire?” Wang Baitian asked, puzzled.
“Yes… City Lord, look…” It was only then that Qiao Shan pulled away one of the giant python’s heads to reveal the charred flesh beneath, saying so.
Only then did everyone see that among the nine heads of the giant python, one had been scorched black by fire, with the faint scent of something burnt lingering.
The woeful cries of the nine-headed giant python continued unabated, and now Qiao Shan, Wang Baitian, and everyone else were completely dumbfounded!
None could understand what had just happened.
“Who wounded the nine-headed giant python?” Wang Baitian came to his senses and looked around the hall, asking everyone.
It now seemed that someone had indeed tampered with the situation just now!
But who could it be?
Who would dare to make a move right in front of him?
Yet as his voice faded, no one responded.
The crowd looked at each other, entirely clueless about who had acted…
“Heh—” Seeing no one answer, Wang Baitian let out a cold laugh.
The dark energy in his hand surged as he once again struck Li Huanhuan and her father, this time with even more force than before…
