Chapter 265: Random Teleportation Life Coin!
At that one moment, as Ace's consciousness was descending into darkness, Ace saw his entire life flashing through his eyes. He somehow knew he was going to die very soon and everything would be over once and for all.
'My only regret is I won't be able to see little sis, Alina, anymore, and I even got Eva killed together with me. If there is an afterlife, I hope Eva found someone better than me, who could bring her the happiness and joy she deserved.
'As for you, bitchy system, even though it's annoying to be your host, but I have to admit without you, I won't be what I am and probably living a meaningless miserable life in those slums without being able to experience this magnificent, mysterious world.
'I won't blame you or felt resentful toward you for my death, it was me who was too reckless. I never thought I would say it but… I enjoy being a… thief, and I'm very thankful to you for giving me this chance. Likewise, I hope you could find another worthy host who can be a better thief than I ever was.
'However, if there is a chance please save Eva, I know you can just consider it my final wish…'
However, right at this exact moment when Ace was about to take his final breath system's voice rang and this time it was the other playful voice that sound like it was laughing at Ace's 'confession'.
But, Ace was almost conscienceless right now or might blush and curse the system for making fun of his heartfelt emotions.
"[Don't worry, the host cannot die right now, not until that 'item' is still in effect.]"
A series of notifications rang in Ace's mind like ringing bells in the system's usual icy voice.

======
The very next moment, Ace's figure which was enveloped by the dark light of the cube symbol mysterious vanished into thin air with a blink without even a trace of him left!
Ace never would've dreamed that he would be saved by the random teleportation life coin which he once bought on a whim, and he always complained about it and call it a scam of the system since he can't use it himself.
Now that Ace was gone, the dark life suddenly lost its target, and it also faded.
Gordon weakly looked at the fading dark light with pity, he knew Ace was probably dead by the 'Soul Killer Light Talisman' which was a Grade three soul attack talisman!
He wanted to save it for his journey back, and he knew this talisman can't be created anymore since he has already been lucky before to find all the materials in Crimson Sword Empire's treasury.
But he was forced to use it on Ace, and he could blame only himself for being too greedy and greatly underestimating Ace.
'I hope the technique slate can still be retrieved from his corpse.'
Gordon expected Ace's cold corpse to fall when the light disappeared, but his expression suddenly changed because there wasn't any corpse or even Ace's dust when the dark light was faded!
"How is that possible?!" Gordon muttered in incredulity and bewilderment.
He naturally knew the effect of this talisman and it by no means can obliterate the corpse of the victim since it was a soul attack talisman, not a martial attack!
"Did that brat destroy the technique slate and turned to dust with it??!"
The more Gordon think, the more he felt it was the only possibility, and he felt extremely depressed about it. He never even considered Ace would escape the soul killer light talisman, nor he could escape the still active myriad ghost trapping talisman.
In his eyes, Ace was dead and gone forever with the Heavenly Blankness Worldending Technique Slate!
"What a waste, I gain nothing and lose almost my life… sigh…" Gordon sighed weakly as his eyes were filled with grievance and wrath, "I should leave this damned cursed place as soon as I returned to my peak condition."
Gordon was in an extremely weak state and his cultivation was even dropped to the complete river state became of the backlash he received after that mysterious force destroyed his martial sense.
He needed years to recover this clone's cultivation, and he wasn't planning on returning to royal lands anymore, not in this state. He was going to hide somewhere secluded until his ten-year cycle was to pass, and the looming death threat with it.
However, Gordon's expression suddenly changed when he felt people approaching at a very fast speed. He knew he was safe as long as no one in Qi river core showed up, or he was besieged by several peak Qi river cultivators.
He had already killed all the peak Qi river cultivators of three giants and even the Golden King was also dead, so he was confident in escaping this place until someone of this leave showed up.
As for these people, the strongest of them all was a Qi river source, and he wasn't much worried about it. The myriad ghost trapping talisman was intact for 40 or so minutes, and it was enough time for him to move around again.
Ten black-clad figures in different owl masks showed up, they were the ten sky thieves of sky stealer society.
These ten naturally witness everything until the dark light enveloped Ace, and then he mysteriously vanished. The first sky thief was the one who rush here, and the other nine had no choice but to follow.
Truth be told, they all wanted to escape after witnessing the bitter struggle between Ace and Gordon, and after Ace disappeared in that dark light they could guess that either Ace has escaped or he's already perished.
The chances of the latter were much higher, but no one dare to speak it out loud since they knew the first thief would probably beat them to death.
"What did you do to Sky Stealer?!" First Sky Thief's voice was filled with killing intent as she coldly looked at Gordon who was coolly standing not far away from the transparent dark barrier.
Although Gordon couldn't hear her voice, he could still read lips clearly and his stoic expression turned into a sarcastic smile seeing this person was inquiring about Ace.
Gordon's lips rose in a mocking smile as he suppressed his rage when he thought about how Ace has 'snatched' Heavenly Blankness Worldending Technique Slate from him.
He simply said three words with intense killing intent, "He is dead!"
