OUTSIDE OF TIME

325 The Loving Seventh Peak (2)

“You win, I won’t send you off.”

When Huang Yikun heard this, he shivered. After that, he looked at his dazzling right hand. His original five fingers had now become four. A sense of grief and indignation surged in his heart.

“This guy is a bandit!!”

The intense grief and indignation caused Huang Yikun’s vision to turn a little dim and blurry. His heart felt like bleeding when he thought about how one of the five fingers he had forged with his life’s savings was gone just like that.

However… he didn’t dare to go back and ask for it. The terror of the third highness made him feel extreme fear.

Amidst his indignation, his body swayed and he was about to soar into the air and leave. However, he recalled that flying was forbidden on the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes, so he felt even more miserable. He could only walk down the mountain.

He didn’t want to be on the Seventh Peak anymore…

However, as he walked, he saw someone.

A tall and muscular woman sat on a stone chair not far away.

Not only was she tall, but the muscles on her body also seemed like they were about to explode. One could even see bulging veins. The large sword that had been stabbed at the side was even more of a shocking sight.

It was more than ten feet long and a foot wide. It was pitch-black and emitted an astonishing baleful aura. She was the second highness who had received Huang Yikun’s challenge tonight.

This scene caused Huang Yikun’s mind to tremble violently and he stopped in his tracks.

The instant he stopped, the second highness opened her eyes. When she looked at Huang Yikun, her eyes revealed a cold glint. Monstrous qi and blood energy erupted from her entire body, causing a storm in the surroundings.

“Half-step Golden Core Realm physical body!!!” When this storm hit Huang Yikun’s face, the magic apertures in his body shook. A peerless ferocity erupted violently as the second highness stood up.

Huang Yikun was almost scared out of his wits.

“How is this possible? Is this something a human can achieve? Even those nonhuman races with body refinement talent might not be able to achieve such physical strength. This is not cultivating life fires but using magic apertures to nourish the body and only walking the path of body refinement!! I’ve never heard of any disciple in the Seven Sects Alliance achieving this!”

Huang Yikun trembled. Seeing the second highness walking over with monstrous qi and blood, he felt that the woman in front of him was invincible and incomparable. He hurriedly shouted.

“Wait a moment…”

Before he could finish speaking, the second highness had already closed in. She swept her large sword horizontally.

Booming sounds spread in all directions. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Huang Yikun was covered in bruises and was swept away. After he landed on the ground in the distance, he was filled with extreme grief and indignation. He didn’t even turn his head as he sprinted rapidly.

He had lost another finger on his right hand and only three fingers were left.

At the top of the Seventh Peak, two figures were standing in the pavilion. They were Old Master Seventh and his servant.

Old Master Seventh was also paying attention to this battle. Seeing how the fights ended, he let out a long sigh.

“The Third1 is too materialistic. He can even sell his dignity for a finger!”

“There’s also the Second. She only knows how to be reckless… Sigh, but she is lucky. Last month, she sent me a voice transmission and said that she picked up a Heavenly Palace Golden Core expert of the Roc Race which specializes in body refinement. The other party was flying on his way when the Flame Phoenix happened to pass by. It killed him immediately. She swallowed his Golden Core but didn’t explode. Instead, she advanced… Only she has confidence in such a thing. Would you be able to do the same?”

The servant at the side fell silent. A monstrous wave rose in his mind and he couldn’t speak for a long time.

At the same time, Huang Yikun, who was running wildly on the mountain steps, kept spurting out blood. His expression was filled with worry and anger. He even had the urge to cry when he looked at his remaining three dazzling fingers.

“I shouldn’t have come to challenge them. They are too much of a bully!”

“Even in the Seven Sects Alliance, not many people would dare to provoke a half-step body refinement Golden Core cultivator. I already admitted defeat, but she still attacked!”

“These highnesses of the Seventh Peak aren’t good people. They’re too good at hiding. I can’t even see through that third highness who is like a venomous snake. I’ll even believe him if he said he’s a Golden Core cultivator. This second highness has monstrous strength. Moreover, they all took my fingers!!!”

Huang Yikun walked to the foot of the mountain amidst his grief and indignation. He was about to leave when he suddenly looked ahead.

On the mountain path in front of him, a youth in a gray Daoist robe walked over while eating an apple. The youth waved at him like he was greeting him.

“Yikun, what’s wrong? Did my junior sister beat you up?”

“Who are you?!” Huang Yikun instantly trembled and his scalp felt like it was about to explode. His sharp intuition told him that this person in front of him was even more terrifying than the third highness and the second highness. In his eyes, the other party wasn’t a human but a fiendish and bizarre entity in human skin.

“You don’t know me? Your brother Huang Lingfei and I are good friends. Didn’t he tell you about me?” The captain looked at Huang Yikun in surprise.

“Don’t be nervous.” The captain saw that Huang Yikun was nervous and sighed.

“You were beaten by my junior brother and sister, right? The two of them are too much.” The captain shook his head with an angry expression and even gave Huang Yikun a few medicinal pills.

However, Huang Yikun was still vigilant. At this moment, his breathing was hurried. He wanted to leave but didn’t dare to. At the same time, he guessed the other party’s identity.

“The eldest highness?”

“Don’t call me that. You’re treating me like an outsider. Just call me Eldest Senior Brother. I’m different from my junior sister and brother, and a certain fellow.” The captain’s smile was very sunny and his voice was gentle.

“Eldest Senior Brother…” Huang Yikun hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

“That’s more like it. Don’t worry. Come, I’ll send you down the mountain,” the captain said with a smile.

“There’s no need. I can go by myself…” Huang Yikun’s heart trembled even more.

“That’s fine too. Oh right, I’ll have to trouble Junior Brother to give me the money for those medicinal pills just now. One finger is enough.”

The captain licked his lips and a blue glint flashed in his eyes. His face actually appeared in his pupils. That face had its eyes closed but its expression was malevolent and revealed incomparable hunger.

This hunger spread to the captain’s body. After Huang Yikun sensed it, his heart trembled violently and an indescribable sense of life-and-death crisis rose in him. Seeing that the captain was approaching, he immediately retreated. Before he could escape, his vision blurred and following that, there was a cracking sound. His three fingers became two.

One of them was bitten off by the eldest highness.

While screaming, he couldn’t care less about the bitten finger as he fled crazily.

The captain weighed the resplendent purple-gold finger in his hand and smiled.

“This kid isn’t fun at all. Little Qing is still more fun.”

At the top of the mountain, Old Master Seventh nodded in satisfaction.

“Among the few disciples, the eldest is the most reasonable!”

The servant fell silent when he heard this, not knowing what to say. He couldn’t see how this eldest highness was reasonable…

“However, this isn’t fair. The eldest, second, and third already got a finger, so the fourth needs to have one too.” Old Master Seventh suddenly spoke and waved his right hand.

Immediately, Huang Yikun, who had sprinted to the foot of the mountain, was suddenly swept up by a violent wind that descended from the sky.

An unprecedented terror rose in his mind. Just as his soul was about to dissipate, this irresistible violent wind directly threw him in the direction of Port 176.

At the next instant, Huang Yikun’s body smashed into the entrance of Port 176’s Homicide Department.

Before he could see his surroundings clearly, Huang Yikun, whose entire body felt like it was about to fall apart and whose mind was in a daze, heard a young girl’s clear and surprised voice coming from behind him.

“Who suddenly landed in front of me? Are you trying to launch a sneak attack on me? Hmph, one look and I can tell that you are not a good person from how sneaky you are. Shrimpy, suppress him!”

Huang Yikun suddenly woke up. A soul-stirring sense of danger instantly erupted crazily in his mind. He instinctively tried to escape.

However, it was still too late. In an instant, a huge tentacle appeared out of thin air. The power of the Golden Core erupted and swept him up.

His body and soul were shaken by the Golden Core aura in the tentacle, and he fainted.

Before he fainted, he could faintly hear the voice of the young girl.

“Not bad, not bad. He’s suitable for Brother Xu Qing to do experiments on.”
