The beast seemed very pleased with the meal that had delivered itself at its doorstep but Ji Yao had no such plans. He held on tightly to his sword that right now could be considered no different from a regular blade and prepared to teach this beast a lesson on cleanliness.

Sensing that its powerless prey wanted to put up a fight instead of simply giving up and accepting its fate as dinner it closed its bloodied eyes and it was soon surrounded by blackish-purple energy emanating from within.

The energy build-up was incredibly fast that Ji Yao didn't have enough time to go on the offensive. He just found himself flying straight into a tree hurting his back from colliding with the tree trunk.

Ji Yao grimaced in pain contemplating whether to get up or not. The creature bellowed in delight before stretching out its disgusting long tongue towards Ji Yao.
