3 Devilish Might

A little boy around 7-year-old is going to-and-fro around the forest fighting a two-headed tiger. Both the little boy and the tiger's body are covered with blood. You can see from this that the fight is brutal.

"Yi, I was joking with you, little tiger!" I snorted while punching out towards the 2 headed tiger behind me.

*Roar* A smoke was coming out of the nose of the two-headed tiger. The two-headed tiger was so angry towards to me for stealing its precious medicine 'Yellow Plum.'

'Yellow Plum' can strengthen your tendons and your flesh once refined. The 2 headed Tiger was probably going to let it ripe, and once it's ripe, it will use it to break through to the 9th stage of 'Body Refinement.'

Claws and fist collided with one another; causing a massive crack below us for 10 meters wide. The 2 headed tiger swept its claws towards my shoulder.

*Rip*

A ripping sound came about. If I were still in the 6th stage of 'Body Refinement' my arms would've been detached from my body from that attack. I wince from the pain of having my arms cut.

"Now you made me angry little tiger! I didn't want to do this!" I looked at the 2 headed tiger with my eyes bloodshot while my face twitches.

I shot towards the two-headed tiger, hopped on the back, and used my arms as a lock while trying to crush one of its head. As I was trying to break one of the heads, the two-headed tiger was going around the forest and crashing itself in hopes to get rid of me from its back.

The head that is being choked started to turn into a purple color. A look of helpless appeared on the other head. It knew that it was pointless to continue struggling because it can feel that my strength was the same as his.

The other head knew that the other head would be ripped apart from its body by me as I squeezed the head harder than before.

*Rip*

I finally ripped one of the head from the tiger's body. I threw the head to the other side and went for the other head. I locked the other head with my two arms.

The tiger was weaker than before since one of its head is gone. It still tried to struggle, but as compared as before, it didn't have enough strength. After struggling for a brief moment, the light on its eyes faded.

*puff* *puff*

I was breathing heavily. It was a fierce battle for me since all beast is stronger than human beings of the same level due to their innate strength and also their bloodline. A beast in the 8th stage of 'Bone Refinement' can fight a human being who's in the 9th stage of 'Bone Refinement' and even have the chance to kill the human.

The tiger is a descendant of the nine-headed tiger from the legends. Nine-headed tiger is a creature who attained the realm of 'Divinity.' Luckily, the bloodline has been diluted and only had two heads. If it had three heads, then my only choice was to run away with my life.

I went over to the head that has been ripped apart from the ground. I picked it up and used my fingers to dig inside the head of the tiger. After finally being able to feel what I was looking for, I ripped it apart from the head.

I hold a translucent orb that has the size of a longan fruit on my hand. This translucent orb is called beast orb. The beast orbs are formed when the beast starts cultivating.

Beast orbs can be tonics to humans like heavenly materials. It can help you get stronger, but the more you intake it, the more impurities will accumulate inside your body. To get rid of the contaminants inside your body, you must cultivate, and strengthen your foundation.

Beast orbs can also be traded for 'Divine Stones,' a material that's condensed from 'Divine Energy.' 'Divine Stones' are used in this world as a form of currency.

Beast orbs are divided into different sections. Beast who's in the 'Body Refinement' has a translucent orb. Beast who's in the 'Accupoint Opening' has a green color orb. Beast who's in the 'Earth Passage' has a blue color orb. Beast who's in the 'Nascent Soul' has a yellow color orb. Beast who's in the 'Heavenly Realm' has a red color orb. Beast who's in the 'Half-Step Divinity' has a white color orb. Lastly, the beast who's in the 'Divinity' has a rainbow color orb.

After putting away the beast orb from my hand, I took the other beast orb from the other head.

"I should get back to the village. The bandits should be arriving soon." I said while looking over at the horizon.

I carried the body of the tiger as I was heading to the village. From the past two days, my cultivation is on the brink of breaking through to the next level. My fleshly body reached the strength of 9,900 pounds, just 100 more and I'm in the 8th level of 'Body Refinement.'

"Look, Qie Feng is back. He even caught a two-headed tiger." A boy at the age of 8 pointed towards my direction.

All the villagers look at where the boy at the age of 8 was pointing at. All the villagers weren't shocked; they only had a satisfied look on their faces. They could tell that I've gotten stronger because killing a two-headed tiger wasn't an easy fit.

Gramps went up to me and patted my head gently. As he looked at me, I can tell from his eyes how much he cared about me. I hugged him tightly.

"Ugh.." Gramps made a groaning sound. "Don't hold me too tight; do you want me to die or something?!" Gramps laugh merrily.

"I'm sorry!" I let loose and apologize hurriedly while my face blushes.

"It's fine haha. Anyway, you guys, get the tiger and prepare it well. This tiger should be at the 8th level of 'Body Refinement.' Eating it will be beneficial to our physiques." Gramps called the 7th-foot tall, burly man with 4 other people.

"Yes, Chief!" The 5 men took action, carrying 15-foot tall tiger.

"You're crazy Qie Feng; you took down a two-headed tiger!" A group of kids about my age walk over to me.

"Hey, you're 7 already right? You're at the age where you can marry already. When are you going to marry me?" One of the girls in the group said while laughing.

"I'm still way too young!" I yipped while my face was as red as a 'Heavenly Blood Ginseng.'

"Hmph!" The girl stuck out her tongue.

"Look at them; they're flirting with each other again." A snotty brat said.

"Hahaha" Everyone laughs.

After 40 minutes, the two-headed tiger was ready to be eaten. A sweet aroma washes across the village. Everyone stopped what they were doing and headed towards the center of the village where we usually eat together as a group.

As everyone was gathering, they also prepared other types of necessities such as vegetables, rice, and other things that will go along with the meat of the two-headed tiger.

Usually, eating any heavenly materials or a beast of a body can cause a mortal to explode due to the amount of 'Divine Energy' in them. Mortals need to be at least in the 1st level of 'Body Refinement' practitioner before being able to consume 'Divine Energies' from heavenly materials or the body of a beast.

However, for some reason, in this village, even though the villagers are only mortals, they are almost as strong as someone in the 1st level of 'Body Refinement.' As such, everyone even the kids can consume the body of the two-headed tiger without worrying about dying from exploding.

Not only do they have to worry, but it will instead help out and establish a strong foundation for them once they embark on the path of cultivation later in the future.

As everyone was eating, the group of bandits is getting closer and closer as of the moment. They only need to travel around 5 miles, which will take about 10 minutes due to the speed of the flaming stallion.

---

10 minutes later, a smoke whipped about as if a sandstorm was approaching. The bandits finally arrived.

"Neigh!" the 15 flaming stallions neighed at the same time.

"Chief of the village! Come out at once!" A man in a clad of cloak yelled while applying his 3rd level 'Bone Refinement' strength to his voice.

"They're here. Da Xiongmeng and Jiang Hai, follow me." Gramps called on the 7-foot tall, burly man, and the skinny middle-aged man. They are the other two Cultivators in the village beside me.

"Gramps, I'll come with you." I walked over to where Gramps is and looked at him in the eyes.

Gramps looked at me in the eyes, "Alright, you can come along. However, if things get out of hand, leave."

"I will. You don't have to worry Gramps." I didn't take the words seriously. How can I leave? I vow to protect them, the people of the village.

"Alright, everyone, disperse. You know what to do. Assist the women and the children out of the village. There's a safe route at the back of the village; go there." Gramps said to all the men at the village.

Everyone nodded. All men, women, and children headed towards the village.

Me, Gramps, Old Xiongmeng, and Old Hai headed towards at the entrance of the village. Everyone was tense, even me. Even though I'm already at the 7th level of 'Body Refinement' I feel like It won't be enough.

The reason for this is because once someone was born, and hit the age of 4, they will be able to display their bloodline even though the strength is minuscule. However, I'm already at the age of 7, almost turning 8, and can't summon my bloodline.

It feels like something is sealing it, preventing me from using my bloodline. I tried removing it by using 'Divine Energy' before, but every time I do it, there will be a backlash and will make me cough up blood. As such, I came up with one conclusion; I need to get stronger.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the entrance of the village. We were facing 15 people on top of a flaming stallion while their faces are covered with a cloak.

"So, I guess you weren't able to get 20 pounds of dark gold metal. So, you, chief of the village made everyone leave. Well, it doesn't matter, even if they were gone for a couple of days, we would be able to find them." The man at the back said with a casual tone.

The man raised his hand and then brought it down. The 10 people who are at the 3rd level of 'Body Refinement' charged at us while carrying a murderous aura.

They were serious about trying to kill us.

"Stop! How can we even collect 20 pounds of dark gold metals if we don't have any mines nearby!" Gramps yelled grinding his teeth and eyes turning red.

"And?" The man replied coldly

"Get back Jiang Hai. You won't be able to take them on." Old Xiongmeng took out the 6 feet tall, and 6 inches wide sword from his back.

"Golden Crow Force! Release!" Yelled by Old Xiongmeng with a stern look on his face, slashing towards the nearest person as a sigil of a 'Golden Crow' that's 15 feet tall appeared on his back.

*Puchi*

A slashing sound rang. As the sound rang out, a head rolled on the ground. A glint of fear arose on the eyes of all the 3rd level 'Body Refinement' cultivators.

"Now this is amusing." The leader took the cloak covering his mouth, and a look of seriousness appeared on his face. The leader of the group looks handsome, and probably at the age of 30.

"Everyone, use your bloodline." The leader also made a gesture to the two 4th level 'Body Refinement' to join in.

"Fire Wing Bear Force! Release!" The 11 bandits shouted at the same time. 11 'Fire Wing Bear' appeared on the surrounding that's also 15 feet tall.

Blades clashes against one another. Old Xiongmeng was able to kill another three people who are at the 3rd level of 'Body Refinement.' As time passes on, he was able to kill another two, leaving nine bandits left.

Now, all the 3rd level 'Body Refinement' cultivators are backing off as fast as they can. They were truly terrified. Fighting ten people at the 3rd level of 'Body Refinement' and two people at the 4th level of 'Body Refinement' and being able to kill at least six people. Monster.

"Monster!" One of the men in 3rd level 'Body Refinement' pissed himself.

"Run!" While the other men used his full strength to run away from Old Xiongmeng.

"Tsk" The leader man clicked his tongue. "You two, go assist and finish it off quickly. After that, kill the other three people."

The two people at the 5th level of 'Body Refinement' nodded, and headed towards Old Xiongmeng while slashing their swords towards his neck.

I couldn't sit still anymore and watch Old Xiongmeng die. His body is soaked with blood already, and he seems he's about to collapse at any moment.

I jumped and clenched my fist and punched towards the swords.

*Qiang*

A metallic sound rang out. A hint of surprise appeared on the eyes of the two people as if it was telling "A 7-8 years old kid who's at the 7th level of 'Body Refinement' how is this possible!?!" I parried their swords and grabbed their heads

"Release them!" The leader couldn't sit still anymore also and headed towards my direction.

It was too late. I clenched my hands as hard as I can.

*Boom*

An explosion rang out. The heads of the two people on my hand exploded like a watermelon.

"Damn it! Fire Wing Bear Force! Release!" The leader yelled. A 15-foot tall sigil that looks like a Fire Wing Bear appeared on his back. A scimitar appeared on the hands of the leader while heading towards me and sweeping his weapon towards me.

I couldn't take this lightly, according to what Gramps told me, once you activate your bloodline, it will boost your strength under how strong your bloodline, and your corresponding realm.

A person who's at the 'Body Refinement' with a 'Fire Wing Bear' can raise their strength by at least 2,000 pounds. In other words, the leader has the power of a half-step 'Acupoint Opening' cultivator.

I aimed towards the sword with my bare fist. The ground beneath us sank and making a 30 meters crevice.

"This..What is this devilish might, how can someone young as you have this much power!?!" The leader couldn't keep his surprise.
