Devil

[ Jacob Burnheart(First stage Foundation Establishment Realm) - One of the heads of the branch family. He loved his son very much and doted on him. The death of his son grew a height of hatred in him that was unimaginable. ]

This information showed up right in front of his eyes. Along with that, all the other people's cultivation too. Some were here for money, some for fun, and some for personal reasons.

The victims' father's cultivation was in the 9th or 8th stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. At the same time, the rest of the people's cultivation was lower than Gale's.

Despite seeing this and knowing he might get killed, he still went forward.

He had nothing in his mind except killing all of these people who were responsible for Aldeinne and Greg's deaths.

Puchi

Stabbing his spear into some random guy's chest, he spun his spear, making space for him to breathe as he was getting surrounded by others. Meanwhile, Jasmine who had higher level cultivation killed with ease.

In just a minute, Gale and Jasmine mowed down Jacob's men into twenty-four. Which left Jacob and others shocked.

"When were these two people this good?"

"Yes, wasn't that useless guy unable to cultivate?"

"He must have a secret in him."

Everyone became greedy just by thinking that. Their motive for revenge changed, but they still had the same intention: to kill Gale and Jasmine.

There were many treasures that had heaven-defying effects and that were only grabbed by big guys. Now, they have the possibility of getting one on their hands themselves.

How can they miss it?

They had many children themselves. Not all lived to the end, and not all received the same love. But the chance to break through to a higher realm—that was the dream of every cultivator. Again, they sure didn't want to miss it.

However, there was one who didn't think of that, and it was Jacob.

He shouted at others. "Don't just stand there, go swarm them!"

"We cannot let them be like this." He sprinted forward without paying any heed to his men.

Gale also dashed toward him while shouting at Jasmine."Take out the other guys!"

Jasmine just nodded her head and went forward to kill the other main guys.

Jacob pulled his sword out and started doing a sword dance. Gale didn't pay any heed to this, he just came before him and thrusted his spear.

Jacob swung his sword and shot out a jet of spiritual energy. That blocked Gale's attack and pushed him back.

However, he wasn't done with that, he grabbed the very end of his spear, which extended his range. He then swiped his spear, catching Jacob off guard.

That swipe made a diagonal cut on Jacob's face. Which made Jacob scream in agony. "Arghh, you bastard!"

Jacob became serious and used his movement technique. "Three Flow Technique."

Instantly, in Gale's eyes, he saw three afterimages of Jacob coming towards him. Gale didn't know what to do. So, he did a long, wide sweep.

However, he missed one of them, and that was the real Jacob.

He saw Jacob leaping toward him with his sword overhead. His spear was behind, as that sweep was made with a lot of force and it would take time to bring it forth.

So he let go of his spear and pushed his hand forward. In the meantime, he took a long, deep breath, sucking in all the blood essence from the dead bodies.

This made his body cultivation realm rise up to Mid Stage Golden Bone Realm!

Jacob felt a stronger force inside Gale all of a sudden, but he couldn't back down because of that, as he had already committed to attacking.

Right as Jacob's sword came before Gale's face, it suddenly stopped.

Clap

Jacob, with his eyes widened, saw Gale stop his attack by clapping his sword. With a slight bit of force, he broke his sword into pieces.

Gale wasn't done with that. He grabbed Jacob's head and gritted his teeth.

"ARGHHHH!"

Riiipp!

He tore his head apart from his body with a scream.

Blood and intestines spewed out all over Gale's body. Everyone was also surprised by this quick turn of events.

Jasmine didn't flinch at this, instead, she felt it was a great opportunity to finish off these guys fast. Gale also picked his spear up, pushed his bloodied hair to the back of his head, and walked forward like a god of war.

And it took them two minutes to clean up the field. As a Peak Nine Stage Qi refinement Realm and a person whose combat strength was in Foundation Establishment Realm was more than enough.

Gale stood before the last guy, one of the victim's father, who was now cowering on the ground.

"You are a devil! You killed your own family members and used them to gain strength!"

During the cleanup, Gale absorbed the blood essence as he finished every person on the field. Which helped him to close the gap to Peak Golden Bone Realm. He just needed some more blood essence.

Gale looked down with cold-blooded eyes and said."I don't care what you think of me. But do know this: If I can achieve greater strength through the vilest of things, then I won't hesitate to do it."

"You!!" The guys pointed his finger at Gale, but-

Bang

He stomped his head and made it burst like a watermelon."Your time is up."

Jasmine came beside him and asked with concern."Gale, are you okay?"

Gale walked towards Aldeinne and Greg's body."I am okay."

He picked Greg's body and signaled her to pick Aldeinne's. He walked toward a clean field that was just three minutes' walk away.

While walking, Gale started to tell Jasmine. "Today, I learned something. A cold truth, despite knowing it in my heart."

"We humans may seem intelligent, but fundamentally we are animals. Just because we think we are intelligent and we have consciousness of our actions, we do whatever we want for ourselves."

"However, we are worse than animals. They don't have shame or consciousness about what they do. But we humans, despite having it do it multiple times."

"So, from today onwards, I decided to change. Use my anger as fuel to drive me forward; be cold and calculative so that I can be superior to everyone."

"I want to squash and look down on every other being in the universe."
