It was shameless of Demon Lord for wanting to kill Nannuo Li under unclear 'charged'.
Under the sea of fire, Nannuo Li's face could be seen as distorted and in shock. He looked at the arrogant and horrible mask of Demon Lord. Nannuo Li angrily said: "You, don't think that, just because people calling you Demon Lord, you can act unscrupulously. I am an imperial prince of the south."
Nannuo Li said unshaken on the surface, but his heart was beating like a drum inside. Demon Lord's strength was said to be unfathomable. He can't guarantee that he can beat him.
"Hmph…" Demon Lord coldly snorted and said nothing. But, his right hand rushed forward to grab Nannuo Li's neck.
Although Nannuo Li was talking to Demon Lord, he has been guarding against him. When he saw Demon Lord made a move, he immediately put forward his sword, but… …
The sword in his hand, that was said to be crafted by a famous swords master was broken!
"Impossible!" The broken sword in his hand made him so confused.
"There is nothing impossible." The glove on Demon Lord's hand only had a small scratch. And then, it moved to grab Nannuo Li's neck again.
Nannuo Li retreated in a hurry, but his legs were not fast enough compared to the hand that was attacking him. Seeing Demon Lord's hand will fell on Nannuo Li's heart, Nannuo Li's confidant jumped to block it and pushed Nannuo Li away… …
*Puchi* Demon Lord's hand passed through the confidant's heart.
Nannuo Li was hit and fell to the ground. Seeing Demon Lord attacking him again, he had a sense of urgency. However, at this moment, a man suddenly jumped out in the darkness. The man, who was wearing a red robe, casually throw the vine on his hand. The vine seemed to be alive and wrapped around Nannuo Li's waist. Nannuo Li was pulled and escaped the attack.
"Tsk tsk… how weak. No wonder you have to spend money to protect your life." .The man in a red robe, throw away Nannuo Li far from Demon Lord and walked closed: "You are Demon Lord?"
"You are?" Demon Lord was not in a hurry. He took out a handkerchief and wipe the blood on his hand while looking at the person in front of him.
The man in red robe's face has exquisite and sharp eyes. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. And what more, he doesn't know him.
"Shadow Moon Tower, have you heard of it?" The man in red robe said while taking out a silver moon medallion: "Even if you haven't heard the Shadow Moon Tower, I'm sure you've heard about silver moon medallion, right?"
"Shadow Moon Tower, nothing can be kept hidden in this world. Who might you be in the Shadow Moon Tower?" When the other party came out, Demon Lord sensed that his strength was far above the first rank assassin in the Shadow Moon Tower.
The man in red robe put aside the silver moon medallion and arrogantly said: "I thought, you will ask who paid for his life."
"The rules of Shadow Moon Tower, this lord is familiar." The rules of the Shadow Moon Tower was never to reveal the customer's identity. Even the Tiancang Pavilion cannot find who they are.
Of course, it's not that Tiancang Pavilion was incapable, it's just they don't want to speak of it.
"Demon Lord is indeed a good person. I know you will not embarrass us small pry people who are doing the task." The man in red robe then took an inch forward: "Demon Lord, why don't you be good until the end and let me take away this person, alright? I'll give you half the price of the reward in exchange."
"Dead or alive?" Demon Lord coldly asked.
The man in red said with some difficulty: "The Shadow Moon Tower must keep him alive until dawn to finish the deal."
"Alright, this lord will give a face of the Shadow Moon Tower, and will leave him breathing until then." Demon Lord said with a cold voice as soon as the man in red finished his words, leaving him no chance to say no.
"Deal!" The man in red robe said without any shame. He let Demon Lord clean up Nannuo Li after the said time.
It's not that he was being capricious, it's was because… …
For him, one million silver coins were not enough to offend a martial god. It's not worth it. Besides, he hasn't become a martial god himself. Even if he wanted to fight with Demon Lord, he has no chance to win!
As for Nannuo Li's escape?
He thinks that long as Nannuo Li has breath, he is not violating the agreement, right?
Nannuo Li thought that his rescuer finally arrived. But, he was shocked when he heard the man in red robe's words: "Since you have collected money to protect me, how can you let him kill me?"
Nannuo Li was very angry and scolded the man in a red robe: "Is this how Shadow Moon Tower do their business? If the Shadow Moon Tower doesn't abide with their rules, who else will find you to do business in the future?"
"I take my customers money to kill people, I am very disciplined at that. As for your business? As long as you have a sign of breath, it means I am protecting you, right?"
The man in red robe said without any psychological burden.
He only promised to the other party that he will help him survive until dawn. As for whether he live or die after that, what does it have to do with him?
"You, you, you…" Nannuo Li couldn't find words to argue with the man in red robe. So instead, he picked up the sword on the ground and fought with Demon Lord himself.
Nannuo Li was not Demon Lord's opponent at all. He attacked for ten times but he didn't even scratch him. Seeing Demon Lord will take a shot at him, Nannuo Li trembled in fear. He said with a pale face: "Shadow Moon Tower, if you save me, I will double the price. No matter how much money the person, who requested for you to save me, I will double it, just keep me safe."
His last four words, Nannuo Li particularly emphasized them.
"Ten times!" When the man in red robe heard the increase in payment, his heart was moved.
He doesn't really care about money, but he got still very excited.
The Shadow Moon Tower and Tiancang Pavilion haven't earned more than 10 million silvers all these years.
*Cough* It's not that they haven't earned it, but more like they haven't saved enough. Although assassinating and selling information makes money, they also spend a lot. As the young master of these organizations, he certainly must open a source of income.
"Three times, three times at most." Nannuo Li knew very clearly that the person who spent money on the Shadow Moon Tower to save him was Xue Chengwen. Xue Chengwen will not pay a small amount for him, so he didn't dare to arbitrarily increase the price.
Out of the four countries, no one dared to owe money to the Shadow Moon Tower and Tiancang Pavilion. Now that they increase the price, they should give the remaining silvers.
The man in red robe wanted to take this opportunity to push Nannuo Li into a pit. It's just, he didn't expect Nannuo Li would be shameless and will cut off his offer.
However, in business, bargaining was pretty normal.
Looking at Nannuo Li's awkward escape from Demon Lord's attack. The man in red robe shamelessly said: "Seven times."
*Tud* Demon Lord lifted his foot and kicked Nannuo Li. Nannuo Li fell to the ground and unable to move. Demon Lord didn't let him catch a breath, he stretched his arm to punch him.
"Five times, five times! You go and take a shot." Nannuo Li had a hunch that he can't survive this punch.
"Alright, five times, remember, after you go back, let your people send the remaining silvers to the Shadow Moon Tower." After he said those words, the man in red quickly took a shot and stopped Demon Lord's attack: "Demon Lord, I'm sorry, for the sake of 5 million, Nannuo Li's life must be preserved. This young master has guaranteed it."
Although Demon Lord was a martial god, he was not that weak. He can't beat him, but he can make Nannuo Li run away.
"Young master? You are the owner of the Shadow Moon Tower and Tiancang Pavilion?" When Demon Lord heard the other party's words, he knitted his eyebrows.
Sure enough, this person's identity wasn't simple.
"Oh, my tongue slipped." The man in red looked annoyed by his mistake, but people with discerning eyes could see that he deliberately did it. He deliberately exposed his identity as the owner, so that Demon Lord will fear him.
There were many big people backing him. The young master of Tiancang Pavilion and Shadow Moon Tower is not someone can easily be killed… …
The consequences will be unimaginable!
Demon Lord shook his head and looked uncertain: "It's really a headache. Are you forcing this lord to kill you?"
"You can kill me if you want, but you have to settle things with my mother."
His aging mother was a legendary woman, that can't easily be provoked… …
