The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Assassination

”Boom!”

The massive body of the Kui Ox Mountain crumbled to the ground, motionless at last.

In the sky above, everyone let out a sigh of relief, feeling the post-disaster gratitude of those who survive.

It was finally dead!

Over a hundred Great Demons, and now only about seventy remained. Nearly thirty had perished to kill this ancient giant beast.

There were not many injured, for those hit by the Kui Ox’s attacks generally died instantly, without even a chance to be wounded.

The Kui Ox’s defensive powers were too strong. Even when magical treasures the size of small hills smashed onto its body, it seemed not to feel any pain.

The Kui Ox didn’t have many attack skills. After all, it lacked claws and couldn’t cast spells. It mainly relied on brute force charges, whipping with its tail, and biting.

What seemed like a mere charge effortlessly sent magical treasures flying off, and some were even directly shattered by the impact.

Its tail whipped around as fast as lightning, with tremendous force. Those struck by its tail were like flies swatted by a fly swatter, their bodies instantly bursting into a cloud of Blood Mist.

Under the command of the Demon Ancestor Vivian Cobb, the demons of the Demon Race had paid a heavy price. They blinded both of its eyes and, taking advantage of its screams of agony, threw a large number of Exploding Talismans into its gaping mouth, detonating them from the inside.

The explosion was as intense as a nuclear blast, destroying its internal organs and ultimately killing it.

Carson Flores kept circling around the fray, attacking from a distance with his Qianji Umbrella. Perhaps because his Divine Transformation Strength was insignificant in such a battle, no one paid him much attention.

Panting, Lilianna Norman returned to Carson Flores’s side and, looking at the fallen body, exclaimed, ”It’s too powerful! Such a ferocious explosion could have shattered a massive mountain, but when detonated inside its body, it didn’t even penetrate the skin...”

Carson Flores replied, ”Perhaps it’s precisely for this reason that its skin possesses such miraculous powers.”

Lilianna Norman nodded in agreement, ”The rest is none of our concern, let’s go.”

Carson Flores nodded silently, following Lilianna Norman as they left.

In such a situation, not to mention looting, he didn’t even dare to reveal his strength; otherwise, he would be besieged and killed within minutes.

In the sky, Vivian Cobb turned her beautiful face and fixed her gaze upon the retreating silhouette of Lilianna Norman, a fleeting intent to kill flashing in her eyes.

...

In the journeys that followed, Carson Flores and Lilianna Norman did come across other groups of forces, but perhaps due to the experience of battling the Kui Ox, many of these groups had fewer members. They also had a sense of alliance, making it somewhat unjustifiable to turn against one another and fight for spoils.

No one attacked, and neither did Lilianna Norman.

Carson Flores didn’t insist. After all, everything gained on this trip felt like a bonus.

Throughout the central area, they travelled, gathering seven ghostly Lingzhi mushrooms, all aged between one thousand and two thousand years.

During these days, they did come across some younger Lingzhi mushrooms, but these were not permitted for harvest, as their effects in elixirs would be weak due to their insufficient age, which would be a mere waste.

Although Carson Flores owned a Life Essence Pearl, he didn’t have enough time to hasten their growth. After all, maturing a thousand-year-old Lingzhi plant took many days. This time could be best spent searching, yielding more profit.

”The exploration of the Secret Realm ends in a day.”

Sitting on a stone, Lilianna Norman turned her head with a smile, ”Exploring the Secret Realm with you feels like a vacation.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”I’ve survived till today all thanks to running fast, otherwise, I’d have lost countless lives.”

This statement from Carson Flores was not wrong. Along the way, he had encountered countless dangers and had been hunted by powerful enemies numerous times. If not for the Ground Shrinking Technique, his grave would be overgrown with weeds by now.

Lilianna Norman turned to look at Carson Flores, ”You’ve helped me greatly. I wouldn’t have had such an easy time without you.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”You led me to riches, and by helping you, I help myself, right?”

Glancing at the sky, Carson Flores said, ”It’s getting dark. Let’s find a place to rest.”

”Okay!”

They found a cliff and with a single punch, created a cave. After eating something, they comfortably sat down to meditate and rejuvenate.

Just as Carson Flores entered meditation, a sudden strong premonition of danger arose in his heart.

As he opened his eyes, he instantly activated the Xuanwu Amulet, and the Barrier unfolded in an instant.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared outside the cave, like the tail of a comet, moving at a terrifying speed towards the two inside the cave.

This streak of light carried an immense aura of terror; Carson Flores even felt a presence of death emanating from it!

Carson Flores instantly pulled Lilianna Norman behind him.

”Bang!”

The light swept over the Xuanwu Barrier, which shattered instantly, and the light continued slashing towards Carson Flores.

Sword Qi surged from his body, one wave after another, slicing towards the streak of light.

Sword Qi shattered!

Sword Qi surged wildly!

Sword Qi continued to be destroyed!

Wave after wave of intense Sword Qi continuously whittled down the light.

The light reached within three feet!

The light broke through the Sword Qi, advancing further!

The light struck Carson Flores, slicing through his Purple Mist Clothing. Like a laser blade, it flashed across in an instant, cutting through his skin, cleaving through his muscles, and then ferociously slicing into his bones.
