1697 Taming the Desert Gian (1/2)

Glancing at Qingfeng Li, the Desert Giant turned and prepared to run.

It knew that it had to escape from this man if it wanted to survive.

Although the Desert Giant's body was made from sand, it suspected that this man's golden flame could still do it harm. The flames were incredibly powerful, and the Desert Giant felt a sense of danger coming from them. He had no doubt that the golden flame could melt all the sand in his body.

”You want to run?” A cold glint appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes. ”But can you get away?”

Merging into the void using spatial talisman scriptures, Qingfeng Li appeared before the Desert Giant in an instant.

He then activated his vital essence and struck out with his fist, blowing a large hole in the Desert Giant's body. The Giant was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.

But, a moment later, sand from the Crimson Fire Desert began to converge toward the Desert Giant, filling the hole in its chest; it had recovered to its original state.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. ”Huh, you didn't die?” He said. ”Your body is actually made completely from sand? How strange.”

Beside him, Sky-Devouring Snake spoke. ”Qingfeng Li, this thing is practically immortal. I tried so many times, hell, I even blew up its heart. But the sand always comes right back.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. ”Since you won't die,” he said, ”then I'll just use my flames and melt all your sand.”

When he finished speaking, Qingfeng Li called upon his golden flames, which appeared over his fingers again. A hint of killing intent flashed over Qingfeng Li's eyes as he prepared to cast the flames onto the Desert Giant's body and kill it.

The expression on the Desert Giant's face changed to one of terror. It had just witnessed the king of the carnivorous ants being burnt to death by the golden flame. There hadn't even been a body left behind.

The golden flames were far too powerful. The temperatures it contained were at the Saint level. The Desert Giant was just a master of the Supreme Realm; there was no way it could withstand it.

With a shocking thump, the Desert Giant fell to its knees. It put its forehead to the sand and bowed toward Qingfeng Li. ”Don't kill me,” it begged, ”don't kill me. I don't want to die.”

Qingfeng Li was left speechless. He had expected the Desert Giant to be a tough guy, but it turned out that it was surprisingly afraid to die. But then again, maybe it wasn't so strange.

Whether it was humans or demonic beasts, or any other race for that matter, all living things had an intrinsic fear toward death. No one wanted to die; everyone wanted to live.

Qingfeng Li's rolled its eyes. ”You want me to spare you, I can do that. But you must agree to become my servant.”

The Desert Giant's expression shifted. ”No,” it said, ”I can't become your servant. I'm a subject of the Desert Queen. If she found out that I've become your servant, she'd kill me for sure!”

A cold glint flashed through Qingfeng Li's eyes. ”Since you won't become my servant, then you can die.”

He continued after a pause. ”If you become my servant, you'd still have a chance at life. As for this Desert Queen, rest assured that she is no match for me. You should know how powerful my golden flames are.”

The Desert Giant's eyes shifted restlessly. It seemed to be struggling to reach a decision. Finally, it decided to pledge itself to the man before him. If it didn't, it would die right now. If it pledged itself to this man, there was still a chance he would live.
