Chapter 152: Destroy It With a Finger! Zhang Goudan Collapsed!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Zhang Goudan muttered to himself, he seemed to be going mad. Li Yidao found himself unable to fully comprehend what was happening.
Just as he was about to speak again, suddenly, Zhang Goudan’s eyes became filled with madness.
“It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t shown up, the
Scarecrow God would have surely released my father!”
“It promised me! It said so!”
“You’ll die! You’ll die! Die!”
While saying this, Zhang Goudan retreated, and in an instant, he exited the room.
Simultaneously, in his right hand, he fiddled with the scarecrow puppet.
Li Yidao even noticed that as Zhang Goudan retreated, he bit his tongue, spitting fresh blood onto the scarecrow puppet in his hand.
With Zhang Goudan’s actions, more than twenty scarecrows hidden in various corners of the courtyard stood up.
Their expressions turned cold as they began to move toward Li Yidao, although their movements were not particularly fast.
“Kill you! The Scarecrow God will spare my father. As long as it releases my father, I’ll be safe!”
“I can become the most loyal follower of the Scarecrow God! I’ll be a demigod on Earth!”
“Kill him!”
With one final roar, Zhang Goudan spat out another mouthful of blood onto the puppet in his hand.
His actions seemed to trigger a frenzy among all the scarecrows in the vicinity.
They all appeared exceptionally mad, displaying menacing gestures.
However, Li Yidao remained completely unfazed by the postures of these scarecrows, even ignoring them.
He spent one year of lifespan for each.
For Li Yidao, who possessed a lifespan of over a thousand years, dealing with them was effortless.
What was there to fear?
He stood calmly at the door, gazing serenely at Zhang Goudan.
In a calm voice, he asked, “Who sent you here? Who are you people exactly?”
“What’s the deal with your father and his mining friends? And who is this Scarecrow God you keep mentioning?”
Li Yidao fired off several questions in a row. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝒎
However, Zhang Goudan had seemingly descended into madness and paid no attention to his inquiries.
He continued to laugh malevolently, “Haha, who am I? You’re not worthy of knowing! The Scarecrow God? You’re even less deserving!”
“Prepare to die! When you get to the afterlife, you can ask my foolish father about these things!”
With his final furious roar, the scarecrows nearest to Li Yidao were less than a meter away from him now.
Even the one that had just entered the room had risen and was getting closer to his back, poised to attack.
At this moment, Li Yidao realized that there was no point in trying to reason with Zhang Goudan anymore.
He stopped asking questions.
He extended his hand, pointing at the scarecrow closest to him, the one behind him.
Blade Death!
As Li Yidao activated the Blade of Death, the scarecrow he had pointed to
collapsed with a resounding thud, lifeless.
Zhang Goudan, witnessing this scene, was filled with shock.
His scarecrow was gone with just a single point?
Li Yidao didn’t pay any attention to his expression and continued pointing at the remaining scarecrows one by one.
With one touch of his finger, one scarecrow extinguished.
Soon, all the scarecrows had lost their eerie vitality and lay lifeless on the ground.
At this moment, Zhang Goudan was left in a state of shock, unable to express his emotions in any way.
He appeared to be on the verge of a complete breakdown.
Moreover, Li Yidao could sense that time was running out for Zhang Goudan.
His life force was dwindling, and he seemed like a person on the brink of death.
Li Yidao finally understood something at this moment.
These scarecrows likely possessed vitality by siphoning off Zhang Goudan’s life force.
This was the only plausible explanation.
After Li Yidao had dealt with these scarecrows, Zhang Goudan was at his weakest.
He slumped to the ground, the madness in his eyes fading, but his face still contorted with a sinister expression.
“Haha, do you think it’s over now? I may die, but you won’t live! You won’t leave this village. Haha!”
“The Scarecrow God won’t spare you! Hahahaha!”
Li Yidao remained silent, simply watching Zhang Goudan calmly.
He knew that asking questions at this point would be futile. It was unlikely that he would get any information from Zhang Goudan.
However, he had at least heard the term “Scarecrow God” from Zhang Goudan.
Of course, Li Yidao wasn’t naive enough to believe in any actual gods, but this “Scarecrow God” seemed to possess some unique abilities like his.
As for where this power came from, or what secrets this world held, these were questions that Li Yidao couldn’t answer at this moment.
Meanwhile, during the battle between Li Yidao and Zhang Goudan, something strange enveloped the entire village.
What he didn’t know was that when he entered the village, the elderly men he had seen, who appeared to be on the brink of death, had simultaneously opened their eyes in their sleep.
Their pupils were filled with fear, and their bodies seemed paralyzed, unable to move an inch.
Moreover, something like a dark mist was slowly being drawn out from their bodies, forming black wisps that gradually converged toward the giant scarecrow at the village entrance.
As the black mist continuously entered the body of the giant scarecrow, the scarecrow’s entire aura began to change, and its eyes gained a semblance of consciousness.
It was as if it had come to life.
As for the elderly men, their dry, wrinkled skin became even more creased.
The little life they left was slowly fading away, and some of them became lifeless husks.
At this moment, a man sat cross-legged on a hill in the distance suddenly opened his eyes.
His sharp gaze fixed on the giant scarecrow at the village entrance.
However, he made no move and simply observed, as if waiting for something to happen.
It was clear that he was waiting for the right moment, and now was not the time for him to take action.
Returning to the scene at the Zhang family’s courtyard, Li Yidao slowly approached Zhang Goudan.
Even though he likely wouldn’t say anything at this point, what if Li Yidao could offer him another chance at life?
In exchange for life, would Zhang Goudan be willing to speak?
Li Yidao stood over Zhang Goudan, looking down at him. In a calm voice, he said, “Tell me everything you know, and I can save you.”
His voice was calm, but it carried an air of confidence.
Li Yidao was a professional when it came to saving people.
The current Hand of God did not care if the other party was evil or good!
As long as Li Yidao wanted to save them, he could save them by consuming enough lifespan!
Therefore, Li Yidao had his own confidence when he said this!
However, upon hearing these words, Zhang Goudan paused for a moment. His eyes initially displayed disbelief, but then a glimmer of hope began to appear.
After all, who wanted to die if they could avoid it?
Furthermore, Zhang Goudan thoroughly investigated everything about Li Yidao.
If Li Yidao truly wanted to save him, then maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t have to die.
He took a deep breath, attempting to regain his composure as best as he could.
However, the trembling his entire body exposed the hope hidden within him.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yidao.
“Do…. do you really mean to save me?”
