Lea gripped the second stray beast by the wrist, which he fractured with a loud crack. It was not a clean break. The flesh was still intact but the bones inside had been shattered. The hand flopped about like a pendulum.
âTsk tsk tsk, Extending your claws at a witch doctor, it appears that you really donât want them anymore.â
Lea nimbly ducked under the second personâs other arm, hiding behind him. Meanwhile, the third attackerâs claws had already penetrated the second guyâs chest, heading straight for Leaâs throat.
Thank goodness Lea hadnât pressed himself close behind that second guy, but had maintained a reasonable distance. Hence, the third assailantâs bloody claws met empty air. He drew back his hand and tossed his compatriotâs body aside without the slightest trace of guilt.
Lea patted his own chest. âAiyo, so scary. You nearly touched me. Tsk, so hateful. Our Mengmeng doesnât like others to touch me.â
Only one of the stray beasts was left, and he was a fourth-level beast.
With Leaâs current abilities... it was very dangerous for him to fight him.
Lea had dispatched the other two third-level beasts so that he would not be surrounded by enemies on all sides. But even one-on-one, the difference in levels made this a very tough match.
Wabei had always been a cold fish. Apart from Gu Mengmeng, he didnât care about the life and death of anyone else.
Ian wanted to go forward to help Lea, but was held back by Elvis.
Ian looked at Elvis in confusion, but Elvis just indicated at Gu Mengmeng.
With Gu Mengmengâs present abilities, it would be a piece of cake for her to help Lea. But she remained on the spot. She just stared unwavering at Lea with her fists tightly clenched. She didnât even exhibit any intention of having Elvis help Lea. Then...
Elvisâ gaze was gentle, as a faint smile played across his lips.
Lea, you punk. She has seen through you.
The stray beastâs fangs hovered near Leaâs spine. Lea would die or be handicapped by just one bite.
âLea, I forbid you from getting injured!â Gu Mengmeng sat in her original position. Her voice was just a faint ripple, but couldnât conceal the churning emotions beneath.
Her voice was trembling. She was scared.
This made Lea hesitate. Should he continue to pretend?
If he was making her worry for her own good, then... should he persist?
No, he could not.
Because âfor her own goodâ had already hurt her once. There cannot be a second time!
With a flick of his fluffy tail, he sent the stray beast flying away with one smack. He leaped into the air with a light step, and landed beside the fallen stray beast with one foot on his waist. The huge impact of the landing plus Leaâs foot severed the stray beastâs spine. His body was flung aside awkwardly, like an unworthy broken doll.
Thereafter, moonlight sheathed Leaâs body, making him look just like an elf of the night. The blood on his body didnât appear heinous, but instead looked like poppies blooming on a cliff. Lethal and alluring.
Lea stepped towards Gu Mengmeng, and got down on one knee. With one hand holding her cheek, he smiled gently. âAs you wish. I didnât get injured. Mengmeng, are you satisfied?â
