Chapter 2086: Supreme Treasure Ginseng Essence Chapter 2086: Supreme Treasure Ginseng Essence Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The manâs eyes burned fiercely as he summoned the last of his strength.
A blood-red saber suddenly materialized in front of him.
His face, once rosy from the exertion of battle, turned ghostly paleââŹâa paleness that reflected the complete draining of his vitality.
The lackey standing across from him froze in terror as his gaze fell on the crimson blade.
âYou actually used that move?
Are you really leaving yourself no way out?â The manâs fierce expression didnât waver as he glared at the lackey, gritting his teeth.
âI knew from the moment we entered Life and Death Valley that brotherhood wouldnât last.
Betrayal over benefitsââŹâitâs inevitable.â âYouâve been by my side for centuries, but Iâve been watching you all along.
Did you really think I wouldnât notice your schemes?â âBut I never thought youâd act so decisively.
Fine.
Then letâs die together!â The lackeyâs face contorted in fear as he stared at the ominous saber.
âI wonât go to hell with you!
I canât die nowââŹâI still have too much to do!â With that, he turned and fled, burning the very essence of his blood to fuel his desperate escape.
The man sneered as he watched his lackeyâs retreating figure.
âYou think you can run?â As he spoke, his body crumpled to the ground, rapidly withering into a dried corpse.
The blood-red saber hummed with satisfaction before locking onto the fleeing lackey.
It shot forward, a bloody shadow streaking through the air like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Braydon Neal, watching from a distance, narrowed his eyes.
A trace of fear flickered in his gaze as he observed the saber.
Even though this was just one of his 90,000 Dharma Idols, Braydon couldnât help but feel the weight of the saberâs menace.
For a peak-realm expert to wield such devastating power was impressive.
If someone at a higher realmââŹâa transcendent, or even a level nine transcendentââŹâcontrolled it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The saber swiftly caught up to the lackey and plunged into his back.
The man, who had been fleeing with all his might, froze in despair.
Moments later, his body withered, becoming a lifeless husk.
With the two corpses lying lifeless, Braydon descended from the tree and approached them, curiosity flickering in his eyes.
Though death was commonplace in Life and Death Valley, he found it strange that he had encountered nothing unusual before now.
Glancing at the small, struggling creature in his hand, Braydon withdrew his spiritual power.
The little being, sensing the release, immediately began wailing.
âBig brother, please donât eat me!
I can do your laundry, cook your mealsââŹâIâll even gnaw on your arms and legs in my free time!
Keeping me alive is definitely better than short-term benefits!â Braydonâs pale, handsome face softened into a smile as he regarded the panicked creature.
âLittle guy, calm down,â he said gently.
âTell me whatâs going on here, and if Iâm satisfied, I might let you go.â But the little creature trembled even more violently under Braydonâs gaze.
This was Kid Ginseng, and he had heard stories about such smiles.
Those who wore them often had the cruelest intentions.
âBig brother, I really am useful!â Kid Ginseng pleaded.
âI can be your guideââŹâI know this place like the back of my hand.
I can even help you find treasures and rare ingredients.
Eat some snake gallââŹâitâll boost your cultivation!
Soak it in wine, and youâll be unstoppableââŹâseventy times a night, no problem!â The smile on Braydonâs face vanished, replaced by a twitch of annoyance.
âSeventy times in one night?
What nonsense is this?â he thought, recalling an old joke about grinding iron pillars into needles.
He set Kid Ginseng on the ground with a dismissive wave.
âAlright, alright.
Relax.
I have no interest in eating a little guy like you.â Kid Ginseng stared up at Braydon in disbelief, tentatively touching the ground as if testing reality.
âYou really donât want to eat me?â After confirming Braydonâs words, he lit up with joy.
âThank you!
Youâre a good person!
Iâll definitely repay you someday!â âGratitude can wait,â Braydon replied with a wave.
âFirst, tell meââŹâwhy were those two chasing you?
Arenât you supposed to burrow underground to escape?â Kid Ginseng pouted.
âI tried!
But they used some magic treasure to stop me.
Thatâs why I couldnât dig my way out!â Braydonâs gaze landed on the red garment wrapped around Kid Ginseng.
âThis thing, I assume?â In folklore, ginseng was tied with red thread to keep it from escaping once unearthed.
Kid Ginseng nodded furiously.
âYes!
Benefactor, can you help me take it off?â With a flick of Braydonâs hand, the red garment fell away.
Finally free, Kid Ginseng darted into the soil, swimming around happily before popping up in front of Braydon again.
âThank you so much, Benefactor!
Youâre not like those awful people who just want to kill us.â âSave your flattery,â Braydon said.
âTell me what happened.â Kid Ginseng nodded, pulling out two peaches from seemingly nowhere and handing one to Braydon.
âMy name is Baby.
Iâm a ginseng spirit born from Grandpa Tree, and Iâve been alive forââŹÂŚ about three thousand years, I think.â He sounded uncertain but continued.
âEarlier, when I came out to play, those two bad guys appeared out of nowhere and slapped this cursed thing on me.â He kicked at the discarded red garment angrily.
âAfter that, you saw the rest.â
