Both black-robe youths with normal looks appeared in front of Yu Xuan, one tall, one short.
"Keke, why don't you run?" A tall asked with a vicious smile.
"Haha! With his pitiful cultivation base, he must be scared and didn't dare to move his legs." said a short one, his face revealing a vicious smile as he taunted, "I don't care if you were from the righteous sect or a demonic sect! You walk not the road to paradise but come to destruction even though there's no entrance. We aren't in the area of any sects, don't think about boasting shamelessly, using your background to threaten us!"
A short youth aura immediately erupted, His tyrannical aura was actually a 4th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
A tall one immediately followed the suit, his face also revealed a vicious smile. A burst of the aura also erupted from his body, revealing his 5th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation.
These two brothers' actions showed that they were experienced, it seems that many pitiful people had fallen into their hands.
Yu Xuan was calm as ever as he didn't say anything, he was secretly analyzing these two brothers.
In a hard situation, one must be calm. A calm mind brought the solution.
[These two people's actions are no doubt, demonic people. From the fluctuations of their aura, a tall one is 17 years old, meanwhile, a short one is 16. This means they are not from a high-grade sect like me.]
[Normally, the disciples at the 5th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm in the Five Elements Sect have five combat techniques but are proficient in no more than three techniques. These two people are from the lower-grade sect, and with fewer resources, they may be proficient in two combat techniques at best. Otherwise, I may not be standing here anymore.]
[To be able to hide from my Divine Sense means that they have a good hiding technique.]
[Not attacking me immediately means that they don't have confidence in their offensive technique.]
[To come out and appear in front of me means that they have confidence in movement technique.]
[Moreover, sensing my weak aura due to injury boosts their confidence. Hah! I don't need to act weak, just waiting for one of them to attack me and strike him a fatal blow is enough.]
[If I can't win, I'll just run. Then, let's see who will have better control of the technique.]
In a split second, Yu Xuan had already planned for himself. Yu Xuan's strength was on par with a 5th-stage Foundation Establishment disciple in the competition due to he had better control of technique than them. Now, he had an offensive technique, facing two Cultivators who were not much higher than him, he was not fear a bit.
The two brothers' gaze was fixed on Yu Xuan, they were hoping to see his disappeared face.
Yu Xuan did not disappoint their expectations as his face became weaker.
Yu Xuan's acting skills were poor, but he was tired due to his injuries, as a result, he did not use any acting skills to fool them.
"Hahaha! Big Brother, let me handle this weak patient!" Saying so, a short one clenched his fists and rushed over Yu Xuan as though he were a fierce tiger.
A tall one coldly smiled in the back. He didn't have any plans to interfere as his Little Brother alone was already enough to defeat a weak Yu Xuan.
At this moment Yu Xuan was still motionless standing in his former location, not having the attention to make a move.
"Oh, don't move, fear?" A tall one who was behind showed an evil smile, among the people he faced, Yu Xuan was the most cowardly person. He didn't even dare say a single word in front of them.
"Coward!" Seeing Yu Xuan didn't even make a move despite being under attack, a short one sneered as he glanced at Yu Xuan in disdain. His ferocious punch was only a step to strike Yu Xuan's chest.
Puchi!
A simple cutting sound was heard as a headless body slowly fell to the ground. The smear of blood sprayed out to the ground, and the rust smell of blood flew out into the air, attracting the beasts nearby.
Yu Xuan used his water path primeval essence to clean his left hand which was soaking with blood.
"This…"
A tall one was mind blown, his smile was frosted as he watched this scene dumbstruck. He had never thought that his Little Brother, the one who was growing up with him since childhood, the one who was sharing happy and sad moments together, would end like this.
"You, you, you, evil!" A tall one's entire body was shaking as fell to the ground subconsciously. Although he was from a demonic sect, he indeed plundered and abused people, but he had never killed a single one of them yet. Upon seeing his Little Brother die in front of him, he wasn't angry but fearful. How could he not know the strength of his Little Brother? Even he could not overwhelm him in one move, let alone killed him in one move.
Yu Xuan looked at a tall one with a warm smile as he said, "It will end quickly, don't worry."
As he said, he walked toward a tall one.
"Evil! Don't! Don't come closer to me! Don't!" A tall one subconsciously retreated quickly. He had completely lost his mind, he could not act accordingly to the situation.
A tall one struggled hardly to stand up as he was about to finish, suddenly, a sharp hand pierced into his chest. A death sensation woke him up, as a tall demonic Cultivator sent his quick punch struck at Yu Xuan's chest.
Yu Xuan's sharp hand could not pierce through the body of a 5th-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Upon receiving a blow from him, Yu Xuan quickly retreated five steps.
"Don't force me! Ah!!!"
The pain that Yu Xuan caused woke up Dong Han, his anger reached extreme as he was filled with a frenzy of killing intent!
"Die!"
The wind path primeval essence was gathering in Dong Han's right hand as a blade-like shape began to emerge.
Yu Xuan felt a great threat from this technique as he prepared his Soaring Fish immediately.
"Ahhh! Not enough! More! I need to add more primeval essence!" Dong Han added massively wind path primeval essence to his right hand. A Blade in his hand was clearer and bigger.
Yu Xuan stepped away further.
Puchi!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Dong Han screamed pitifully in pain.
He failed in activating a technique, a blade in his right hand cut his right arm. Blood spilled out to the ground.
Yu Xuan had expected that Dong Han must fail in such a state, but he didn't expect the backlash was too serve to the point of cutting Dong Han's right arm. When Yu Xuan practiced his Fin Fish Technique, it could cause him a small wound at best.
Despite this, Yu Xuan didn't let off this chance as he activated his Fin Fish Technique and rushed toward Doing Han.
"Ah!" Doing Han suddenly reacted, his face was filled with fear and a loud cracking sound could be heard as he kneeled to the ground. "Don't kill… don't kill"
Before Dong Han even uttered the word "me", a sharp price through his left chest, and his entire body was severed of life.
Yu Xuan was not happy as he quickly kept the corpse of these two brothers in his Space Ring before leaving this place immediately.
Not long after Yu Xuan left, the group of beasts arrived at the Primeval Essence Pond area.
After he escaped to his previous camp, the waterfalls, Yu Xuan soaked himself in the lake, an awful feeling made him vomit.
Killing humans were different from the beasts, this was the first time Yu Xuan experienced it. He could endure it at that moment, but he also had his limit.
"This is the worst feeling ever, I guess I will be familiar with it by the next time I have to kill someone."
Yu Xuan swam to the waterfall area as he soaked in there for a long time until the sunset.
"I'll go and have a look at the Primeval Essence Pond."
With that, Yu Xuan made a trip back to the Primeval Essence Pond.
It didn't take a long time before he arrived. Yu Xuan carefully surveyed the surroundings once more. After making sure there were no traces of beasts or Cultivators around, he finally let his guard down and walked toward the Primeval Essence Pond.
Yu Xuan sat cross-legged within Primeval Essence Pond and activated his Cultivation Technique, Calm As Water. The natural primeval essence around began to gather in one place as they were absorbed by Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan proceeded to guide the natural primeval essence to nourish his body. Allowing it to restore the injuries caused by the battle with the Black Ape. After he had absorbed roughly one-third of the natural primeval essence within the Primeval Essence Pond, Yu Xuan's body trembled. He felt himself being completely revitalized.
"Hu! I've finally recovered from the injury. This is the best feeling, the feeling of being healthy is the most comfortable. I don't have to feel burdened like being a patient." Yu Xuan opened his eyes in satisfaction as he said to himself, "There's still a lot of natural primeval essence remaining within the Pond, enough for me to properly cultivate for tonight!"
Yu Xuan promptly closed his eyes once again and wholeheartedly channeled his Calm As Water Cultivation Technique to absorb the natural primeval essence into his Sixth Sense Realm.
The Sixth Sense Realm was the realm of consciousness. It was not in the body, it was in the consciousness. It was the foundation of all Cultivators, it contained the Path of Primeval Essence inside.
Yu Xuan was a Water Path Cultivator, he had three Water Path Pillars inside his Sixth Sense Realm, indicating that he was at a 3rd-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
A full five hours passed as he cultivated.
When half of the natural primeval essence in the Pond was absorbed, Yu Xuan abruptly opened his eyes. From his Sixth Sense Realm, a group of faint blue mist could not enter anymore, showing that this was the limit today.
In a day, one could not absorb the natural primeval essence of all the time, one needed to let it completely refine itself first to absorb it again. The process of refining was automatic, it took a day to finish it.
"As expected, five hours. Not bad!" Yu Xuan's eyes were calm, he always absorbed the primeval essence stone which was taking an hour for him, he was not surprised by the effect of the Primeval Essence Pond.
"But this result is a great fortune for the ones who are from the lower-grade sect. Those people possess a mortal-grade Cultivation Technique, it will take them two days at least to just absorb the natural primeval essence. If they cultivate in this Pond, it will take a day for them. It is not surprising why those two brothers can trap many people here."
Yu Xuan could clearly understand the reason why the two brothers' actions and how people fell into their hands.
However, Yu Xuan didn't blame anyone for this aspect, everyone had to struggle for themselves.
"These three days within the Unsure Mountain Range have allowed me to reap a great harvest. Like a name itself, unsure, this is an unsure situation. I have 15 beasts' corpses, but I can not handle them all to a sect, this result is too abnormal, after all, it is a result of a week's mission, but I can accomplish it in three days. Then I'll stay here a little longer, this result has not been enough to pay the Space Ring yet!"
Yu Xuan pondered for a while before coming to a decision. He was in the outer area of Unsure Mountain Range, he only needed to guard against the demonic people, the other matters were not problems.
"As for the missing two brothers, I'm not sure if they have the team follow them, but this place is too vast, there is no way they will notice these two people go." Yu Xuan was not worried about this matter, but he didn't let his guard down, he planned to leave this area tomorrow.
"After checking their stuff, there are only two pouches with a total of forty mortal-grade primeval essence stones and two identity tokens, these two brothers are quite poor. However, this amount is enough for me to cultivate four days."
One must know that the primeval essence stones had a limited number in each sect, one mortal-grade stone was a valuable treasure for the lower Cultivators, and not everyone would be willing to use it.
Hunting the beasts was not an easy job. One must waste the primeval essence in the process of doing that. And to restore the primeval essence, without a good technique or the primeval essence stone, would take five hours at least.
Hence, to be able to kill one or two beasts a day was blessed enough. The beast had tough skin, killing it with a punch or kick was almost impossible, one must use a technique, sharp or destructive techniques at that. To be able to accomplish one strike like Yu Xuan, only the special geniuses who were proficient in controlling techniques could accomplish that.
Then Yu Xuan sent his Divine Sense to one of the identity tokens.
As he did, the information emerged inside his Sixth Sense Realm.
Wind Shaking Sect, Dong Han, a genius disciple, 500 points.
"Wind Shaking Sect? It is not one of the 5th-grade sects. Let me see." Yu Xuan tried to search his memories. As a Foundation Establishment, his brain had long refined, it could memorize countless things. Remembering every sect in Bright Moon City was not a problem.
"I see, it is an 8th-grade demonic sect." Upon learning of their backgrounds, Yu Xuan was not surprised why they were so poor.
Each beast had a different price and each sect distributed a different price for each beast.
Yu Xuan left the Pond and went back to the waterfall area to rest.
In the morning, Yu Xuan went out hunting again. He was like a lone wolf within the forest, coming and going, picking an easy beast to slaughter.
[I can feel that my control of techniques is better than before, and my experience is also better than in the competition.] Yu Xuan thought to himself as he darted through the forest at full speed.
While Yu Xuan was searching for the weak beasts, suddenly the strong auras entered his Divine Sense. Yu Xuan felt that there were around five people not far away in front of him.
