Hell's Handbook-Chapter 421

Su Jin was surprised, because the vibes he was getting from Li Yi was very similar to that first owner after he had turned into a monster. In other words, Li Yi had turned into a monster too, which was not something Su Jin expected at all. Based on his observations, Li Yi had a very strong physique too, so the chances of him turning into a monster were supposed to be very low. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

“Wait, I’m not sensing just him. There are four others… it’s the other owners!” A fierce glint flashed in Su Jin’s eyes. The other four people he had picked up were indeed the four other owners, including Lv Meng. Li Yi was now very close to the ancient tree, which meant that he had continued to walk toward the moon. The other four were just next to him, which meant that these four did not go in opposing directions like they said they would and had been following Li Yi all this time.

“What a pathetic bunch,” Su Jin sighed. Humans were always like this. One could go from being kind to being evil without much effort. He immediately made a dash for where Li Yi was.

Since he was travelling at top speed, it only took him ten minutes or so to reach his destination. The other four owners had gained the upper hand and had surrounded Li Yi to beat him up.

After Li Yi had turned into a monster, he could no longer use his Spirit Power, so he could only use his physical body to attack the rest. But his body was already very strong, and it only became stronger after he turned into a monster. Lv Meng could use the Spirit Power of explosions that was given to her earlier, but even so, she could only push him back and couldn’t kill him or even fatally wound him.

The other three owners didn’t have Spirit Power, but they had exchanged their points for a number of weapons. With Lv Meng helping to keep Li Yi from attacking them, the others could launch attacks on Li Yi easily.

“ROARRR!” Li Yi was covered in blood and didn’t seem capable of feeling pain. He was clearly wounded all over, but each time he was shot down, he would get up and continue fighting. When Su Jin saw the situation, he couldn’t help but feel an anger rise within him.

“Time to die!” Lv Meng was very talented and she was already able to use this new Spirit Power of hers very well. She placed both hands against Li Yi’s chest and activated her Spirit Power.

A plume of black smoke instantly enveloped Li Yi, and Lv Meng broke into a smile. But when the smoke cleared, she saw a layer of silver light around Li Yi’s chest.

“Mr. Su!” Lv Meng froze. She recognized that as a sign of Su Jin’s Spirit Power. She had seen it the last time Su Jin rescued them. But back then, Su Jin was doing this to rescue the owners. This time, Su Jin was saving the monster.

Everyone looked a little awkward when they realized that Su Jin was here. But Lv Meng immediately said to him, “Mr. Su, Mr. Li has already become a monster!”

“That’s great! I would like to see how you’re going to save him!” Su Jin shrugged as he stared frostily at her.

Lv Meng felt like screaming at him. She gritted her teeth and said, “I can’t save him, he’s too strong for me. But I can save the rest! If I get rid of Mr. Li, the rest will live!”

Su Jin started clapping. Watching her say these words so shamelessly was so entertaining. He chuckled and said, “Do you still think there’s a difference between what you’re doing now and what we did earlier?”

“There’s… of course there’s a difference! There were two of you earlier on, and both of you by yourselves are also stronger than I am! You guys had the power to do something! I don’t!” Lv Meng continued to defend herself.

“You can use the power of love!” Su Jin chuckled again as he snapped his fingers to make the psychokinesis that was holding Li Yi back disappear. Li Yi charged at them like a dog whose leash was broken.

Lv Meng felt all her hair stand on end. She dodged Li Yi’s attack and yelled at the other three, “Use your weapons! Shoot him! Shoot him!!”

Her eyes were filled with fear. If she was only facing Li Yi, she might have been able to remain calm. But now, she had to deal with one more Su Jin, who was clearly not on her side and could attack her anytime. That would spell her doom immediately.

She gritted her teeth and started running toward Li Yi. She used Li Yi’s outstretched arms to jump up and grabbed hold of the old man’s head. A smile spread across her face. She was confident that she could kill him now.

“Go to hell!” muttered Lv Meng as she prepared to unleash her Spirit Power, only to realize that she couldn’t detect any Spirit Power in her anymore. Her Spirit Power had disappeared.

Su Jin had snapped his fingers at that exact moment. He was the one who had given her Spirit Power, so he could take it back anytime.

“No! NO! Give it back to me!” shrieked Lv Meng in horror. She tried to get away from Li Yi, but Li Yi grabbed hold of her and stared at her with a maniacal look in his eyes, his mouth salivating as he opened it.

Crack! Boom!

There was an awful crunch as Li Yi gripped Lv Meng’s head hard enough to burst it. The power of the moonlight had wiped out any of the gentleness he had before, and his gaze was filled with nothing but murder and bloodthirstiness.

Without Lv Meng to hold the old man back, the other three owners were clearly visible to Li Yi now. They immediately started running for it. They knew that staying here would only result in their deaths, and even if they ran, at least one of them was going to die. It was too hard for Li Yi to run after all three of them at the same time, but picking one target was definitely doable.

“And you think you can get away?” Su Jin drew a circle in the air which turned into a larger circle of psychokinesis that trapped everyone within it.

“No, no! Please, please let us off!” pleaded one of the owners. He shouted in fear, “It was all Lv Meng’s idea! She threatened us and we had no choice but to join her!”

“How disgusting.” Su Jin frowned and said grimly, “You’re on the brink of death, and you’re still being so dishonest? Lv Meng was foolish, but she didn’t intend to kill Li Yi at first. You were the one who put that idea in her head!”

Su Jin had already scanned the brains of the other owners when he arrived and found out exactly what had happened. It turned out that after they had picked which direction they should go, Lv Meng had gone in the direction she was supposed to. But it didn’t take long for this pleading owner to approach her with the other two owners.

They told her about a possibility, a possibility that Li Yi might come and kill them. The three owners were pretty good talkers, so they were able to paint Li Yi as a hypocrite who was just pretending to be a nice guy. They told her that Li Yi might have deliberately killed the owner who turned into a monster because he wanted to kill the rest of the owners without them realizing it.

Lv Meng didn’t just have saintly ideals, but she was also very gullible. She believed what they told her and helped them to scheme against Li Yi so that he would become a monster. Then they turned around and said that in order to survive, they had to kill him. They had clearly all forgotten how they had disapproved of Su Jin and Li Yi’s actions earlier.

If they had merely been following Li Yi and had no choice but to fight back after Li Yi turned into a monster, Su Jin wouldn’t have reacted like this. But it was their fault that Li Yi turned into a monster, so Su Jin was happy to let Li Yi avenge himself.

Because of the psychokinesis circle, it didn’t take Li Yi long to run after the remaining three owners and kill them all. After he was done with them, he still looked dissatisfied and began charging at Su Jin.

“Watch yourself first, old man! It’s not good for the elderly to exercise too hard,” Su Jin pointed a finger at him, and Li Yi was frozen in midair. He kept trying to reach for Su Jin but simply couldn’t get to Su Jin.

“Let me try and see if I can save you,” Su Jin scratched his head. He had sensed Li Yi’s presence earlier because it seemed like Li Yi had not been completely taken over by the moonlight. There was still a sliver of consciousness left in him, and that was why Su Jin had sensed Li Yi’s presence even though he had already turned into a monster. Perhaps there was still hope for the old man.

Su Jin initially wanted to use his maniacal power to restore Li Yi, but he was afraid that even if he wasn’t discovered, the Handbook might target Li Yi instead. That was why Su Jin didn’t want to do something like this to a friend within a Challenge, because doing that would bring harm to them instead. But if he couldn’t find a better way, he was prepared to use his maniacal power.

“We’ll see if the Moonlight Church has any way to save you first,” Su Jin shook his head. Of course, if they made it straight to the Moonlight Church, they would complete their mission and Li Yi could be sent back to his Personal Hell Domain since he still had some consciousness left in him that could be restored. But doing that was a little risky, so it was best to find a way to restore him during the Challenge.
