A crowd of people had started gathering in the Dark Forest, which was filled with all kinds of trees and plants. Warriors from the Dunn family had scattered around and were searching for Leylin in their designated areas.

They all had serious looks on their faces. It has been a few hours and they still cannot find that guy, but kept finding traces of him. After a bit the experienced tracker understood that the man they were searching was intentionally playing with them! This made them threw away the nonchalant attitude and become serious, they know that this person is able to trade blows with their miss and with his top notch hiding skills, he would be that much harder to subjugate.

“Where in the fucking hell is that guy!? Did he disappear into thin air?” said Johnson with a sour face to the tracker, apparently irritated by his constant failure.

“I don’t—” The once proud tracker bowed his head in shame shuttering under Johnson cold gaze and from his sleeves a small rat like creature emerged who was also similarly ashamed.

For the past few hours, the whole crowd had been looking for Leylin in the Dark Forest. They could occasionally see the footprints and broken tree branches he left behind on his way through. He must have been around this area for a while, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn’t find anything, not even the smallest clue of the whereabouts of Leylin.

“Search a bigger area!” Johnson was pissed off, and shouted his new order, “Start from here and search separately! Do your best! Once you see him, release the blue smoke bomb! I will be there in an instant!”

The warriors of the Dunn family all complied obediently.

The warriors of the Dunn family had moved further and further away, and the members had become more and more distanced from each other. With one hand on the blue smoke bomb, the warriors were not that stressed. If they were to see any trace of Leylin, all they had to do was to set off the blue smoke. A Simple Task!

One of the warriors was walking in the shade, cursing the unknown Leylin at the same time with an angry face. He occasionally looked up at the tree branches above his head, and then checked the bushes in his vicinity.

A warrior arrived under one of the aged trees, shaded by thick branches and leaves. This time, when he looked up, all he could feel was a chilly, cold, bloodthirsty, and evil, pouring down onto him. All of a sudden, he could only see Leylin jumping down from the tree like a fierce wolf, crushing the warrior’s face with his knee.

“Bang!”

With a strong blow, the warrior’s face was instantly covered in fresh blood. He fell on the ground, with his eyes filled with blood and tears. For a moment, he couldn’t see anything.

All he could do was wave his dagger wildly, shouting in panic, “Here! He’s over here!”

Leylin took out his left hand, generating a snake of electric power circling around his fingers; his skin like porcelain and the electric power sparking like lightning. This was the perfect combination of the Lightning Martial Spirit and Profound Qi. The energy was like a catalyst in the air leaving the sound of small explosions all around.

“Verdant Crescent Blacklash!”

With an odd language’s incantation sounding from Leylin, a ball of dark green lighting suddenly appeared at the upper area of his right hand.

“Let’s go!” Leylin flung the lighting ball in his hand and it streaked across in an arc, landing on a target wearing leather armour.

* Ssssii! Ssssii! *

The collision of the physical target sounded nonstop as it continuously clashed while emitting a huge amount of dark smoke. At the same time, an odour that pricks at the sense of smell wafted in all directions.

After a few seconds, the target had been electrocuted, leaving only a charred corpse behind.

All of a sudden, a strong wave of invisible energy spilled out of the warrior’s body, mixed with strings of emotions such as distress, anger, and panic, all pouring out at once. The energy was quickly absorbed into Leylin’s meridians. Within a few seconds, the warrior had lost all his Profound Qi and turned into a shriveled body.

The warrior in front of Leylin, who was of the Second Sky of the Elementary Realm, was killed without any resistance and from his dead corpse blood spilled staining the ground red.

Leylin walked near the burnt corpse and suddenly, a violent and blood-thirsty desire broke out from within inside his body. The cyclones in his seven hundred and twenty meridians swirled madly while a potent strength welled out of the meridians.

The burnt flesh of the warrior was spurting out blood. Leylin sensed an air current, which was filled with despair, anger and regret, and it seeped into every pore inside him. It flowed along his veins until it reached all of the seven hundred and twenty meridians.

In a trance, Leylin felt as if he was back at the blood pool again, where he had absorbed all that blood into his meridians as well. The blood had changed his meridians, produced cyclones, and enlarged their capacity, which accelerated the speed it could absorb the blood.

This time, the wisps of air, combined with the despair and hatred of the dead warrior, entered into his body the same way, from the veins to the meridians, in a very rapid speed. The cyclones in his meridians spun hard as if digesting the air currents, seeming extremely strange!

In ten or so seconds, the air current stopped entering his body. The dead body of the warrior had dried up, as if all his blood and Profound Qi were sucked out of it. He was like a dry mummy!

The mild desire to slaughter emerged in Leylin heart which he immediately suppressed. When the seven hundred and twenty meridians spun in his body, the power of despair, fear, and cruelty increased as well, which urged Leylin to begin a massacre.

“Shwish!”

[Beep! Foreign energy invading the meridian, Expel or not!]

“A. I. Chip expel the force from being absorbed through the swirls in the meridian points, examine and study the mechanism of this action and initiate the devour system setting overriding the devour powers of the body. Also seal the devour powers and blood ring, keeping surveillance on the blood ring at all times and report all anomaly.” Leylin immediately send down a series of command to the chip, between the choice of choosing himself and another great expert, Leylin would pick himself irrespective of difficulties. It’s better to not depend on a power which originate from a foreign expert, especially when he has a alternative option.

“Beep! Task Established!”

System prompt sounded suddenly: “Devour system under effects, Found extraordinary substance that can be extracted, do host wish to to extract it?”

Leylin said without hesitation,:”Extract!”

[Beep! Extraordinary energy absorbed into host’s body.]

Suddenly, he only felt a burst of energy surging from the absorbed devour qi in his meridians, and then poured into his body through an extraordinary vein like channel, and his body seemed to become stronger and profound qi more abundant.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded again.

[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.09. Agility +0.1. Profound Qi + 0.4!”]

Leylin approached the dead body. He searched through his pockets with a frown, and only found a packet of food and a few dozen Purple Crystal Coins. Leylin took away his possessions and quickly left the scene. He didn’t want to stop in one place for long, making his way through the dark forest swiftly like a fox, and soon disappearing into the trees.

“Well well, time to bury some corpses!”

Leylin put on the cruelest face he had ever made. Before he could realize, his eyes had already turned dark red with a murderous look. He moved swiftly around the forest, hiding away looking for his next target as he continued to massacre them without any mercy.

With his Profound Qi running wild through both of his legs, Leylin’s every hit was as powerful as an iron hammer. Under such strong attacks, it only took a few hits for the unlucky warriors to stop breathing.

In search for prey’s, when Leylin was near the corpse of warrior things changed again!

The absorption power of his meridians erupted as his innate devouring skills extracted the profound qi from the corpses! The air currents of rage and regret from the two pieces of the warrior’s body insanely were filtered out of his vein and meridians keeping only pure profound qi and sentient force.

In an instant, the copses of the warriors became mummified too.

All the time when the Warriors died, Leylin was able to stolen all their Profound Qi through the devour skill directly into his Meridians. Regardless, he definitely had gotten something valuable from those dead Warriors.

When he was running to search for prey, he could strongly feel a strange energy spilling over from his Meridians. This energy was so pure and when it mixed with his Profound Qi inside his body, the energy instantly made his Profound Qi increase much faster and it almost doubled in minutes.

With the help of his system, all of the useless emotions and harmful for the psyche was expelled leaving behind only pure Profound Qi as well as trace amounts of sentient force useful for increasing his body constitution.

Soon the group realized that something was wrong as they tighten their guard, Leylin was like a ghost in the Dark Forest. He was everywhere, always killing, with precise accuracy. The murders all happened in sneak attacks before those poor warriors had a chance to release their blue smoke bombs in their hand.

Within a single night, all the warriors except for a two person team including Johnson became Leylin’s victims. Every time, when their bodies were discovered, they had already become mummified with all their blood and Profound Qi sucked away.

Mary Dunn was notified by Johnson earlier about the peculiarity, prompting her into sending various other men as well but as time passed without any results she became more and more agitated. She desperately searched around the dark forest with Master Kurt in tow. Both of them had started to smell a crisis on the horizon.

….

“Johnson, do you think we should explain to lady Mary to stop this search. So far we have only suffered losses without any yield he is probably a strong expert and we shouldn’t provoke him more.”

“Shut up, idiot! Do you want to die? If we step backwards now, what about those who died till now!? And if that fucker was really so strong would he be sneaking around like a mouse!” Johnson shouted angerily looking at his partner with a murderous gaze which prompted him to lower his eyes apologetically.

“Swoosh!”

As they were going to continue walking, a sudden volt of lightning erupted from the bushes towards them, One of them suddenly got lashed by the lightning whip, it was so fast and powerful that his back was cracked open tearing his body apart into two pieces. His partner, Johnson immediately retreated and turned around to see the a young man smirking with his hands raised.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Seeing one of them able to evade the attack, Leylin paid no heed to the guarded giant Johnson and stepped towards the dead warrior and grabbed the dagger from his lifeless hand. With a calm and cold expression, he casually swung the dagger and gave another stab straight into the warrior’s neck.

“Shwish!”

As Johnson was facing the unusual young man before him who didn’t put him in his eyes, Johnson was humiliated as he thrust his weapon into Leylin direction with all of his strength, to teach him a lesson.

The giant of a man, Johnson’s veins bulged as he went insane and brandished his weapon, cutting towards Leylin’s head.

Leylin calmly glanced at him and smiled slightly at him, further invoking him.

“You are quite afraid of me.” Leylin said serenely as Johnson attack immediately halted midair looking at Leylin with a frown.

Yes, indeed! He really was quite afraid of the man before him, because the guy just used martial spirit. And it was a lighting type, he has seen Mary use her marital spirit and although it seemed similar both were still a bit different. Mary’s was very ruthless and overbearing while Leylin’s attack was very precise and although the range and power seemed weaker the end result of the victims wasn’t much different.

This caused a simple warrior like Johnson to be afraid, not only because of the noble family Leylin may belong to in his opinion, because this is dark forest all that is sinful and taboo is common occurrence here. What made him afraid is the tight leash on his life.

“Don’t worry, you won’t feel pain for long time, small timers like you are just fillers born to be climbed upon and I would do just that.” Leylin cranked his neck looking at Johnson as if a lamb for slaughter and although he didn’t mean to be rude and arrogant, it’s undeniably a fact etched into his mind.

“Damn motherfucker, I finally caught you!” Johnson suddenly laughed with an evil smirk on his face feeling nothing for the sudden death of his companion. Leylin looked at the burly man with a bit of surprise and immediately understood that he was just faking it in order to keep his own moral high and escape as soon as the fight starts.

“You are no fun at all!” Leylin couldn’t help but shake his head looking at him with a solemn gaze, due to his understanding of human psychology as well as his vast experience it would take a single glance for him to see through weak minded people like him.

The solemn eyes gave Johnson an illusion that he was prey. This made him uncomfortable. However, since he can’t break his bluff he had to stay calm.

Nevertheless, Johnson knew that as long as he can send a signal the team would quickly assemble and as he knew exactly who Master Kurt was and what he could do. Thus he was relieved and hoped Master Kurt would take action soon.

“Those who leave their fate in other people hands and hope for the best are truly naive and sadly for you, I am not taking any prisoners today.” As Leylin words fall, thick beads of sweat collected on Johnson forehead.

“I—”
