The cornered witch, Cecy, looked up at Ling Tian and Ali. In her hollow, chilling eye sockets, two pale lights flickered, revealing themselves to be two balls of white ghost fire upon closer inspection.
This flame was the lich's soul fire, representing the lich's current state. The flickering ghost fires indicated that the lich's mood was extremely foul.
Cecy the lich never imagined that she wouldn't be able to escape even on her broom, especially in this dark, winding underground space. Ling Tian and Ali had actually caught up.
"I say, the two of you, I have no enmity with you, nor do I believe I have offended you. Why are you relentlessly pursuing me!
I warn you, if you push me to a dead end, I will surely take you down with me!
Even if I can't die, I won't let you go!"
The old witch threatened fiercely.
"Who says you haven't offended me!" Ali suddenly spoke up.
Cecy the lich looked at Ali in surprise. The old witch instinctively felt that this delicate little girl might be even more dangerous than the man beside her.
What puzzled the old witch even more was that she believed her memory was quite good, and she didn't know when she had offended this little harbinger of death.
"Then can you tell me where I offended you?" Cecy the lich asked, full of suspicion.
"Who says you haven't offended me?
You're too ugly, you disgust me..."
Ali's words almost made the old witch go berserk. In over a thousand years, no one had dared to speak to her like this! This was an immense humiliation for her.
"You evil witch, you've killed so many people and done so many wicked deeds. Do you think our Demon Hunter Guild will let you go!"
Ling Tian suddenly spoke up. He cleverly shifted the blame to the Demon Hunter Guild. After all, this witch looked quite sinister, and who knew what kind of unpredictable means she might possess, such as curses.
Conversely, using the name of the Demon Hunter Guild to deal with this old hag was quite reasonable.
"I, Boris Gustav, am someone who hates evil as much as I hate my enemies. I will absolutely not let you go, old witch. I'll kill every one I see..."
Ling Tian spoke without restraint, with righteous indignation. He even shamelessly used the alias Boris Gustav. In any case, Ling Tian would leave after finishing his business in the United States. If this old witch managed to escape, or if she had accomplices, he would let them find trouble with Boris Gustav.
"You are from the Demon Hunter Guild?"
Although Cecy the lich had lived underground for years, she also knew information about the outside world by devouring other souls.
She naturally knew what the Demon Hunter Guild was. She had also devoured the souls of some members of the Demon Hunter Guild. However, in her memory, the people of the Demon Hunter Guild were all a rabble!
When had the Demon Hunter Guild produced such powerful individuals as this man and woman before her? Most members of the Demon Hunter Guild struggled to fight a Faceless Man alone.
However, upon learning that Ling Tian was a member of the Demon Hunter Guild, an idea surfaced in her mind.
The old witch knew very well that the people of the Demon Hunter Guild were all driven by greed. They hunted demons not for justice, but for business! The demons they killed were also taken to exchange for points and money.
"Lord Boris, I think we can make a deal. I know you are after money and treasures!
You broke into my territory today, killed so many of my subordinates, and destroyed so many of my things. I can let bygones be bygones.
As long as you leave now, and we never cross paths again, I can tell you a place where a lot of gold and precious jewels are buried, as well as some treasures that can enhance your abilities...
Conversely, if you insist on being stubborn and want to perish with me, then I, this old woman, can tell you that I am not easily provoked!"
Ali chuckled upon hearing Cecy the lich's words.
"Ling Tian, it's threatening us!"
"Then let's kill it!"
Ling Tian and Ali's conversation made Cecy the lich's lungs explode with anger... if she had lungs... She didn't expect that the bait she threw out was completely ignored by the two of them.
Ali nodded, took out a talisman, gestured with it, and then frowned.
"Ling Tian, it seems a bit far, I can't reach it..."
What Ali said was indeed an objective fact. For talismans, the effective range for ordinary people was about 20 meters.
Even for cultivators with very strong mental power like Ling Tian, they could only control talismans to fly out with inertia for more than 50 meters. Beyond this distance, it was difficult to control, and the talisman's inherent energy would also be greatly lost.
"Heh heh, we don't only have talismans..."
Ling Tian said, and with a flash of thought, several wooden boxes appeared before them. Ling Tian directly opened the boxes and took out a weapon.
Ali's eyes lit up upon seeing this, so she also opened a box, took out the same weapon, and slung it over her shoulder.
This was a weapon as classic as the AK-47, the RPG rocket launcher!
This was also a super classic weapon, under which countless Americans had died.
The maximum range of this weapon was 900 meters, and the distance between the old witch and them now was the optimal attack range for this weapon!
The old witch was completely shocked because she discovered a terrifying fact: these two people in front of her possessed spatial equipment, allowing them to continuously produce various weapons and receive supplies!
However, by this time, the old witch didn't even have time to be envious. She quickly began chanting a spell. At this moment, Ling Tian and Ali almost simultaneously pulled the triggers.
"Ching! Ching!"
Two 40mm rocket shells, trailing flames, flew directly towards the old witch. However, just as the rockets flew out dozens of meters, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared in the pool. This shadow, summoned by the old witch, shot out of the water. The rockets hit the shadow's body squarely and immediately exploded.
After the smoke cleared, Ling Tian and Ali finally saw what had emerged from the water, and the thing looked familiar to both of them!
This thing had a body diameter of over two meters, and the part extending out of the water was more than ten meters long. Its body was cylindrical, like a giant snake!
The monster was covered in fine scales. The RPG rockets that hit it earlier only left two white spots on its body, and it didn't even breach its defenses!
