189 Paying the Price
Demonic humans loved to eat human Beast Tamers, especially geniuses like that young man.
“I really can’t wait to taste him.”
The demonic human licked its lips, its eyes filled with intense killing intent.
A thin man stood beside him. His lips curled into a cold smile.
“Your Highness Ferman, don’t underestimate that person. He is Ye Fan, whom I mentioned to you before.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic human’s pupils constricted.
“He was the one who killed Lunn?”
“Yes, it is.”
The thin man smiled and his gaze turned cold.
“This person has repeatedly destroyed the cult’s plan and killed many of our higher-ups. He’s a thorn in our side. If not for the fact that we’re too busy, the elders would have wanted to kill him personally.”
After the thin man finished speaking, Ferman looked at Ye Fan with less contempt.
“In that case, his strength is not bad. Although Lunn’s strength is at the bottom among us, it will still take some effort to kill him.”
Although he said that, his face was still filled with confidence.
“Even so, it’s easy for me to kill this weak human Beast Tamer.”
After hearing this, the thin man sneered.
Their plan this time was not targeting Ye Fan, but it was a rare opportunity, they could not let it go easily. Moreover, they happened to have a strong helper by their side, so the thin man’s smile appeared crazily.
“Then how to deal with Ye Fan will depend on Prince Ferman.”
Ferman nodded, his cold eyes filled with brutality and coldness.
“He deserves to die for tainting the glorious demonic human race. Let him die as an apology for Lunn.”
The closer they got to the edge of the plain, the fewer insects chased after them.
Under Ye Fan’s orders, the four pets exterminated the remaining insects together.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the exit of the plains. The students revealed happy smiles.
“I can finally leave. I won’t come to this godforsaken place again.”
“But I’m still very curious why there’s such a sudden insect tide here.”
“Don’t let your guard down until the last moment. In movies, big bosses usually appear at the last moment.”
“Why are you saying such unlucky things at a time like this?”
Suddenly, a loud sound interrupted everyone’s discussion. Everyone turned around and saw a huge pit suddenly appear on the plain more than 50 meters away.
In the middle of the pit, there was a rotting monster more than ten meters tall that was emitting an evil aura.
“Rotten Flesh Dragon!”
After seeing the dragon clearly, Ding Chengxin’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was an intermediate Rank 8 monster. Why did it appear?
But soon, he no longer had to be puzzled because two people jumped down from the back of the Rotten Flesh Dragon.
One was two meters tall and emitted a powerful evil aura. He had two horns on his head and was clearly a demonic human. The other was wearing a black robe and had an extremely thin face.
“What?!” Ding Chengxin’s expression changed drastically. Then, he looked at the thin man beside him, his eyes even more shocked.
“Du Kang!! Why are you here?”
As soon as he said this, he immediately understood. His expression turned to shock and anger.
“Is the insect tide because of you?”
Du Kang smiled coldly. He did not bother to answer his question. He only looked at Ye Fan with killing intent in his eyes.
“What a coincidence, Ye Fan, we met here today, I can deal with you.”
Du Kang’s tone was filled with excitement. Originally, their plan here was to rope in the demonic humans, not deal with Ye Fan, but they happened to meet them. This was truly fate!
His gaze swept across the area, and his eyes became colder and colder.
“Ding Chengxin, you’re teaching Class A of the first grade at West Eagle Academy, right?”
“So, if all the elite first-year students behind you die here today, won’t West Eagle Academy suffer heavy losses?”
These words were extremely cold. As he spoke, he glanced at the students around him. The evil aura emitted by the Rotten Flesh Dragon behind him made the students’ faces turn pale.
Ding Chengxin’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. That was right. If all the students in the class died here today, it would definitely be the academy’s loss, and he would be the academy’s sinner.
“Who was the one who jinxed it just now? I told you not to say anything unlucky. Now, you’ve really made it.”
“Who knows!! I didn’t do it on purpose!”
The student who was overjoyed just now was now on the verge of tears. He had just escaped and encountered enemies again. It had not been easy for him to get rid of those insects. Now, he had encountered people from the cult. Moreover, the two people in front of him seemed to be quite strong.
Chen Xin’s face was pale. She tugged at Ye Fan’s sleeve and looked at the two of them nervously.
Ye Fan looked at her comfortingly before asking Ding Chengxin in a low voice.
“Do you know this Du Kang?”
Ding Chengxin said solemnly, “The elder in the cult is a high-ranking member. He is a Rank 8 Beast Tamer.”
“Rank 8…”
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows. The cult master of this cult was only Rank 9. Rank 8’s status in the cult was obvious, and this enemy was the strongest he had encountered so far.
Other than this, there was also a demonic human beside him. Ye Fan glanced at Ferman and met his gaze.
Facing Ye Fan’s gaze, Ferman said coldly: “You were the one who killed Lunn?”
“Lunn?”
Ye Fan’s gaze flickered. He only remembered after a long time.
“The one in the Rock Valley? Yes, I killed him!”
After he finished speaking, Ding Chengxin was stunned. The appearance of the demonic human had caused a huge commotion in the circle. Almost everyone knew about it. As a mentor, he definitely knew about it. Moreover, the military had found a lot of information about the demonic human.
Every adult demonic human was around Rank 8. Moreover, from Ye Fan’s conversation with the demonic human in front of him, Ye Fan should have killed a demonic human not long ago, who was this person’s companion.
So, Ye Fan killed a Rank 8 demonic human not long ago? This was too… unbelievable!
He felt his mind go blank, as if he was hallucinating. This news was too unreal.
Ye Fan had become a Rank-7 Beast Tamer before he was 20 years old. Ding Chengxin was already extremely shocked. Now, he heard that Ye Fan had killed a Rank 8. The impact of this news was too great.
He turned to look at Ye Fan with a complicated expression. Was this guy really human? With such strength and aptitude, he could not just be described as a genius.
The students looked at each other. They didn’t know the inside story at all. They didn’t know what a demonic human was at all. They just felt that the evil-looking horned monster in front of them didn’t seem like a human or a battle pet. Therefore, they didn’t know what killing a demonic human meant.
