However, the Night Rakshasa did not retreat. It did not stop advancing at Jiu Ying. But it did pay a very painful price. No matter how small and flexible it was, it was still able to get hurt. The black fur was coated with red.

The red figure rushed to attack Jiu Ying’s neck. He sneered. Night Rakshasa thought it could kill Jiu Ying, but it underestimated his strength as Nan Shou of the Forbidden City.

Jiu Ying emanated a ghostly energy, and he disappeared and flew to every space that the malevolent energy touched. Although the range of movement was not vast, it was still enough to dodge Night Rakshasa’s claws.

Night Rakshasa’s changed its directions halfway. Jiu Ying was too powerful. Night Rakshasa could kill someone in seconds, but Jiu Ying had a strange skill that avoided it.

Night Rakshasa barely left a scratch on the back of Jiu Ying’s hand.

Jiu Ying turned to look at the blood oozing from a light scratch. The corners of his mouth curled up.

“You fought to death just for this?” Jiu Ying mocked.

Night Rakshasa was severely injured. The Ghostly Energy Moon Swords had slashed it many times. Although they were all minor injuries, the ghostly energy was hurting it.

“Meow.”

Night Rakshasa was still moving.

“What’s wrong? Are you not going to die with your master? Come here. We’ve known each other for so many years, so I can still generously fulfill this last wish of yours.”

Jiu Ying did not care about the scratch on the back of his hand. Night Rakshasa was not poisonous. It only had sharp claws. He did not need to care for a little scratch.

Night Rakshasa made a strange move. It titled its head and threw a shiny silver object in the other direction.

Someone caught it. He had black hair, dark brown eyes and a charming smile on his face. He stared at Jiu Ying as though he was a prey.

Jiu Ying looked at the silver object and finally realized what the cat had been playing at. Space Bracelet!

His Space Bracelet was gone!

Jiu Ying’s face darkened. The eerie energy around his body made him look like a vengeful ghost. Rakshasa hadn’t been trying to fight him. It was trying to steal his Space Bracelet!

The Forbidden City custom-made this Space Bracelet, and there was only one thing inside. It was an important scroll that could heal Commander Hua. Jiu Ying and the Ocean Demons had killed Bei Shou and snatched the bracelet.

“Night Rakshasa, thank you for your hard work.” Mo Fan glanced at the bleeding Night Rakshasa.

He slowly walked toward Jiu Ying. “I’ll take care of this bastard from the Black Vatican.”

Mo Fan was a professional in assassinating members of the Black Vatican. He enjoyed destroying them. He always used them to practice his newly learnt skills whenever they caused trouble.

Mo Fan did not mind having such a dark mindset towards them. Mo Fan had seen the cruelty of the Black Vatican. He knew how vicious they were. He had lost so many people he respected and cared for at their hands.

Mo Fan had to make himself cold and cruel to deal with people as evil as them. He thought of them as prey and enjoyed hunting them.

“You, especially a Red Cardinal, are great at patience, I have to say. If you hadn’t exposed yourself, I believe no one would have thought that the guard of the Forbidden City would be the leader of the Black Vatican. I know that people from the Black Vatican don’t look much different from ordinary people. You could have continued your ordinary life. You could live with dignity and compassion. Why be a beast?”

If they were the beast, then Mo Fan was the butcher. When Jiu Ying watched Mo Fan approach, he took a few steps back. He thought of taking Jiang Yu as a hostage and taking advantage of it to kill him.

Mo Fan was bloodthirsty when it came to the Black Vatican. He believed he could even kill the Red Cardinal if it came to that. His murderous intent was clear.

Jiu Ying stared at Mo Fan and composed himself. “Kill that pathetic person without his limbs,” ordered Jiu Ying.

When he turned to look at the Red Hunter Dirty Demon, he realized that Jiang Yu was gone. A huge moth flew into the air carrying Jiang Yu.

The Healing Scroll was gone, too. Mo Fan had taken both Jiang Yu and the healing scroll. The humiliation made Jiu Ying’s face twitch.

…

Mo Fan had stayed on stand-by. He had arrived there with Night Rakshasa, but he did not act because he didn’t want Jiang Yu killed and the Healing Scroll destroyed.

He could only let Night Rakshasa do its part to save its master’s life. When the Ghostly Energy Moon Swords appeared, Night Rakshasa was not intending to kill Jiu Ying. It was trying to steal the Healing Scroll!

They had finally gotten it back. Now the killing could ensue.
