Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: Your Life Belongs to Me! (4th Update)
Ever since Golden Tiger left with his brother to a secluded path in the Amazon, Ye Haochuan hadn’t seen him again.
"Golden Tiger!"
Ye Haochuan quickly called out.
Huh?
Golden Tiger heard the shout, turned his head for a glance, noticed it was Ye Haochuan, but only nodded before flying off again.
"Damn! What’s that guy doing? He clearly saw me and didn’t even come down to say hello!"
Ye Haochuan murmured discontentedly as he watched Golden Tiger leave.
Something’s not right!
Ye Haochuan suddenly realized, given his relationship with Golden Tiger, the fact that Golden Tiger didn’t come down indicated he was in trouble.
Better follow and take a look.
With this in mind, Ye Haochuan couldn’t hold back any longer. He immediately leaped into the air.
"Great Yan Step!"
He let out a low shout, kicked his legs in mid-air, and a ripple flashed through the sky.
Whoosh~
A gentle breeze swept by, Ye Haochuan was already gone from his original spot.
He seemed to be walking on air, step by step moving forward, not at all fast but covering vast distances, catching up to Golden Tiger in just a few strides.
"Golden Tiger, why are you running so fast?"
Ye Haochuan came up to Golden Tiger and asked.
"Junior Brother Ye, you... what kind of movement technique is that?!"
Ye Haochuan’s seemingly leisurely pace, yet not a bit slower than himself, left Golden Tiger astounded.
"Hehe, this is my Great Yan Step, I just learned it recently. Anyway, you haven’t told me, where are you headed?"
"I’m going to kill Xue Li!"
Hearing Ye Haochuan’s question, Golden Tiger gritted his teeth and said.
Xue Li?
Ye Haochuan puzzledly asked, "Who is Xue Li?"
"Xue Li is the Vice Sect Leader of the Human Sect, the one who kidnapped my brother."
Anger blazed in Golden Tiger’s eyes, almost scorching the air.
"Ah! It’s him!"
Ye Haochuan suddenly understood, then continued, "Weren’t you in the Amazon with your brother? Why are you here?"
"It’s like this."
Golden Tiger, while flying, explained, "Earlier, some Xuanmen cultivators passed by, saying they were going to help with an Evil Sect invading the Holy See. They mentioned meeting with the Vice Sect Leader of the Human Sect, Xue Li."
Golden Tiger glanced at Ye Haochuan and continued, "You know, as soon as I heard that name, I couldn’t help but get angry. So I followed those cultivators and found Xue Li."
"You didn’t just charge at people the moment you saw them, did you?"
Ye Haochuan looked at Golden Tiger, noticing he was covered in injuries. After using Perspective, he found even his internal organs were severely wounded and frowned.
"Hehe, well, I couldn’t hold back."
Golden Tiger awkwardly rubbed his head, chuckling, "As soon as I saw that Vice Sect Leader Xue and smelled my brother’s scent on him, I couldn’t resist charging up..."
"You, sigh!"
Ye Haochuan looked at Golden Tiger, feeling both angry and moved. This guy was truly loyal but way too impulsive.
"There were too many of them, I couldn’t beat them, so I had to run away. But I’m not satisfied, so I kept tracking them and later launched a few surprise attacks, but all failed."
Golden Tiger chuckled honestly, then continued, "Later, they returned for some reason, so I followed them back. But after returning, that guy stayed inside the Human Sect and never came out, leaving me no opportunity to kill him, so I’ve been looking for chances nearby."
"Oh, so you found an opportunity?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.
"Yes, today I overheard some people from the Human Sect saying that Xue Li would be taking people out for training, so I quickly came out."
Golden Tiger’s eyes glowed, and he earnestly said, "I heard today he’ll only be with some Foundation Establishment stage people. Such a good opportunity; I won’t miss it!"
But before he finished talking, he started convulsing, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Golden Tiger, you’re so badly injured, why didn’t you come find me?"
Ye Haochuan was immediately displeased to see this, saying, "Don’t you consider me a friend?"
"No, definitely not!"
Golden Tiger hastily denied, "I’ve just been thinking about how to kill Xue Li, leaving no time to find you. I planned to come to you after killing Xue Li."
"Let me take a look!"
Ye Haochuan extended his hand and unhesitatingly placed it on Golden Tiger, carefully inspecting him.
"Junior Brother Ye, maybe you should help me after I kill Xue Li. If I miss today’s opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll have another."
Seeing himself stopped by Ye Haochuan’s action, Golden Tiger anxiously said.
"Opportunity? A chance to die?"
Ye Haochuan discovered Golden Tiger’s body was severely overtaxed.
Due to multiple previous injuries and inadequate recovery, his internal organs were damaged, with cracks lining his meridians, seemingly caused by an outburst of some secret technique.
He was still able to move solely driven by anger and hatred, but he could barely utilize half of his strength.
With his current limited strength, facing a Core Formation mid-stage Xue Li, it would undoubtedly be suicidal.
"How can that be? Xue Li and I are similar in strength. Without outside help, I’d have killed him long ago."
Upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, Golden Tiger quickly said, "Even if I can’t kill him, I can drag him down with me."
"Foolish!"
Ye Haochuan angrily retorted, "If you die, who will take care of your brother?"
"This..."
Golden Tiger was left speechless by Ye Haochuan’s question. If he died, who would take care of his brother?
"Listen to my advice, heal first, and then go after that Xue Li. Even if you don’t get him this time, there’ll be many more opportunities."
Ye Haochuan continued to persuade, "As long as there’s life, there’s hope. Don’t you agree?"
"But... but..."
Golden Tiger anxiously said, "That guy is just a coward; he hasn’t left the sect since returning. This rare opportunity..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Ye Haochuan looked at Golden Tiger, enunciating clearly, "Golden Tiger, you said your life is mine. Will you keep your word?"
"Of course!"
Golden Tiger pounded his chest, saying, "I promised that as long as Junior Brother Ye healed my brother, my life would be yours. Golden Tiger keeps his word!"
"Alright, since I’ve healed your brother, your life now belongs to me. I order you to stop immediately!"
Ye Haochuan commanded sternly.
"But I..."
Golden Tiger, troubled, scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
"No buts!"
Ye Haochuan firmly rebuked, then softly said, "Golden Tiger, stop for now, and I’ll heal you and boost your strength a little. Then killing Xue Li will be a breeze."
"Huh? Boost strength? How?"
Golden Tiger looked at Ye Haochuan in disbelief, perplexed.
