Surprise Kill

Shi Yan couldn't control his bloodlust any longer. While panting, he suddenly jumped up from the thicket. His Profound Qi was flowing in his right arm like waves with a fierce and violent killing energy which was about to explode from the inside.

"Crap!"

The warrior who had been on alert suddenly paled and exclaimed loudly as he abruptly looked up. After landing on top of his head, Shi Yan started his strike like a sharp sword. The mist raveling on his arm struck first and instantly engulfed the warrior's entire head.

In that moment, an intense endless wave of negative feelings, blended with resentment and desperation, suddenly rushed into his nose and mouth. At this moment the Mo family warrior felt like he was standing in the middle of a bloody ocean with thousands of evil spirits flying towards him, grabbing him with full force and tearing him apart. He couldn't even think about moving.

"Crack!"

Shi Yan's iron-like fist struck the warrior's skull with a mighty force. With a crisp sound, the warrior's skull exploded; he didn't even get to scream before he breathed his last breath. All his Profound Qi rushed out and was directly absorbed into Shi Yan's meridians.

The other warrior named Zheng Tie looked absolutely horrified and subconsciously set off his blue smoke bomb. The blue smoke bomb flew up into the sky and exploded with a shining blue light bright as the sun.

"Over there!"

Seeing that blue light, Mo Yanyu suddenly got excited. Without hesitation, she immediately turned around and quickly flew towards that direction. Master Karu lingered for a moment. He sneered, and then followed behind Mo Yanyu.

"You bastard! You won't get away this time!" After releasing the blue smoke bomb, Zheng Tie was no longer panicking. He stared at Shi Yan with dead eyes, and sneered, "We have been waiting for you all this time. Finally, you came out. Where can you run off this time?"

Shi Yan was breathing heavily. With the bloodlust becoming more and more concentrated in his eyes, Shi Yan could feel an endless urge for blood within his chest. That dead warrior's Profound Qi had further fuelled the killing impulse within his body even more. It was as if there was a voice whispering into his ears, continuously encouraging him to indulge in his desire for blood.

Seeing that instead of making a move towards him, Shi Yan was just standing there panting, Zheng Tie felt a bit relieved. He kept his distance from Shi Yan and sneered, "Hey kid, Miss Mo, and Master Karu will be here in a moment. You are gonna die for sure!"

With a roar rising out of his throat, Shi Yan suddenly flew towards Zheng Tie, like a caged beast running wild. The white smoke surrounding his right arm shot out and came right towards Zheng Tie's neck, like a snake.

Zheng Tie was already prepared. He didn't directly counter Shi Yan. Instead, he retreated a couple of meters.

However, that white smoke was not that easy to get rid of. It kept chasing Zheng Tie as if it was alive. Even though Zheng Tie stepped back, it didn't give up and still followed him, with an intent to wrap around him like a cocoon.

Zheng Tie was a little surprised. He snorted coldly and started to cut the smoke snake with the sharp blade in his hands.

The white smoke snake was instantly cut into half. However, it didn't stop. The two parts of snake rose up and started to wrap around both of his arms. At that moment, two waves of evil spirits rushed into Zheng Tie's head. His body froze, his both eyes were filled with bloody scenes of creepy floating corpses. He felt like he was suddenly deprived of all his power.

"Boom!"

Shi Yan arrived right in front of Zheng Tie and hit him in the face with all the force in his right fist. In just a single hit, a wave of bloody and turbulent Profound Qi exploded out of Shi Yan's fist and drilled straight into Zheng Tie's head.

With blood pouring out of all his orifices, as well as a terrified and unbelievable look in his eyes, Zheng Tie's limbs turned cold as he collapsed face down on the ground. His Profound Qi flew out just like those dead warriors before him.

The two corpses gradually turned into mummies, without a trace of blood on their faces, their Profound Qi was entirely depleted.

Despite all the fierce bloodlust roaring in his mind, Shi Yan retained his rationale and carefully checked the belongings of those two dead warriors. He collected all the valuable food and crystal coins and climbed into the ancient tree like an agile monkey. He hid among those thick leaves and branches and told repeatedly himself to calm down.

However, the crazy bloodthirst was still there in his mind. Shi Yan sat there and started to circulate his Profound Qi. The Profound Qi that had been flowing within his right arm a moment ago was gradually maneuvered into his lower abdomen, and his right arm had slowly returned to normal.

Shi Yan tried his best to control his breath and withdrew the negative energies back into his body. The murderous light gradually disappeared from his eyes. Through the thick leaves, Shi Yan calmly looked at the movement on the ground.

Before long, a crowd started to gather under the tree. The first two were also warriors from the Mo family. Like Zheng Tie, they were also Elementary Realm Warriors of Second Sky. They alertly looked after they arrived, and they kept looking around for traces of Shi Yan, in fear that he might strike again.

After a while, Mo Yanyu and Master Karu arrived subsequently. After Mo Yanyu arrived, she took a quick look at the two dried corpses lying on the ground, and said in a firm voice, "It's him!" A cold light started to spread within her eyes. She moved around, trying to find some trace of him. She started to study the leaves and branches, trying to figure out whether he had left or not.

If Shi Yan had tried to escape in a panic, he would have broken some branches of the tree or left behind some heavy and messy footprints behind. In that short time, there was no way for him to cover his tracks.

Mo Yanyu was right about that.

But unfortunately, Shi Yan hadn't left at all. He had been hiding in that ancient tree all along. Mo Yanyu searched everywhere, but couldn't find a thing. Her beautiful face held an ugly frown, "Damn it! What the fuck! There is no trace of him at all!"

After Master Karu arrived, he looked around with his shrewd eyes. Then he suddenly looked up and shouted, "You little shit! Come out of the tree now! You think you can get away with this again?"

Shi Yan was surprised by Master Karu's reaction, a freezing cold light flew out of his dark eyes. Then, the killing desire suppressed inside of his body for so long was suddenly unleashed!

"You really are up there!" Master Karu sneered and instantly summoned a dark light ball in his hands, with cold energy mixed in the cluster of light. The strange light ball was suddenly thrown towards Shi Yan's hiding spot in a flash.

"You fucking asshole! Where can you hide this time?" Mo Yanyu clenched her teeth and also struck Shi Yan's hideout spot in the leaves with her powerful [Green Lightning Kill], mixed with beams of electricity.

"Whoosh!"

Shi Yan jumped out of the leaves. He didn't lay eyes on Mo Yanyu or Master Karu at all. Once he was out, he instantly ran for the next tree with the thickest leaves.

However, both Mo Yanyu and Master Karu were Warriors of the Nascent Realm, these two were an entire realm higher than Shi Yan's Elementary Realm. Unless Shi Yan attacked them by surprise, there was no way that Shi Yan could confront either of them face to face, not to mention there are two of them at once.

"Don't lose him!" With a loud shout, Mo Yanyu took the lead and flew after Shi Yan, while the two warriors of the Mo family immediately followed behind.

Master Karu didn't chase after Shi Yan instantly. He waved his hand and watched as the dark light that completely destroyed Shi Yan's hideout spot in the tree branches flew back into his palm. Karu sneered again and then quickly followed Mo Yanyu at the speed of light.

The two warriors of the Mo family were soon left behind. Mo Yanyu and Master Karu were chasing Shi Yan one after another. They were quickly closing in.

"Boom!"

A bright blue light ball suddenly exploded right in front of Mo Yanyu and Master Karu, the blue light was blindingly bright. Mo Yanyu and Master Karu were too busy following Shi Yan to pay attention to their surroundings and were unexpectedly blinded by the shining flash of the blue light. Both collided into a giant tree. By the time they regained their eyesight, Shi Yan was already miles away.

"A blue smoke bomb! Damn it!" Mo Yanyu shouted and continued to chase after Shi Yan with an angry face.

Master Karu was apparently irritated too. He swore something under his breath and suddenly flew ahead of Mo Yanyu. This time, he was not holding back his real power. "Fucking asshole! I'm gonna make you beg for mercy!"

"Boom!"

Another blue smoke bomb exploded in front of him. But this time, Karu was prepared. He closed his eyes just in time and continued to chase Shi Yan after the bright flash of that blue smoke bomb faded away.

As a Warrior of the Nascent Realm, Master Karu's power was way above that of Shi Yan's. He flew just like a wind, as fast as lightning. After the second blue smoke bomb's light passed, he soon closed the gap between them.

Karu summoned another dark light ball inside his palm. When he was about 20 meters away from Shi Yan, he lifted his hands with a sullen expression. Boom! That dark light ball was cast out just like a cannonball, heading straight towards Shi Yan's back.

"Boom!"

Shi Yan released another blue smoke bomb. The blue smoke bomb and that dark light ball crashed into each other and exploded, releasing a bright green light that covered the whole sky. The green light fell onto the forest and immediately started a wildfire.

Thanks to that blue smoke bomb, Shi Yan had won some time to escape. He kept running fiercely the whole way. Once he sensed that Master Karu was closing in on him, he would release another blue smoke bomb that he had taken from the warriors before and buy himself some time to run away.

But finally, Shi Yan had run out of all the blue smoke bombs he had robbed. At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange warm stream of energy flowing out of his meridians. The Profound Qi he had extracted from those two dead warriors had been purified by his body and become part of his own Profound Qi within his lower abdomen, enhancing his power to the next level.

Instantly, Shi Yan turned around, and started madly dashing towards Master Karu!

Master Karu put a creepy sneer on his face again. He calmly circulated the Profound Qi inside his body, and within seconds, his whole body was covered with a layer of dark light that was half a meter long.

A Profound Qi shield!

Shi Yan was a little shocked, but he didn't slow down because of this. Even with his Profound Qi concentrated within his left hand, Shi Yan didn't release it up front. He held his iron-like fist like a sharp knife and stuck it right towards Master Karu's stomach.

With a look of contempt in his eyes, Master Karu didn't move at all, as if he had been waiting for Shi Yan's strike.

"Boom!"

With one hit on the layer of dark light covering Master Karu's body, Shi Yan felt like he was hitting a layer of cotton. The dark light only contracted abruptly, but he could not hurt Master Karu's body at all.

"Hmph! A mere Elementary Realm Warrior! Wanna break my [Dark Light Shield]? It's not that easy!" Master Karu sneered, and with a wave, a dark light ball sped out of his palms, right at Shi Yan's chest.

Shi Yan was struck instantly. With an intense wave of power storming into his chest, Shi Yan flew backward, spewing out a mouthful of blood. He could even hear the sound of his bones crushing inside his chest.

Falling on the ground, Shi Yan felt like his whole body had shattered, and felt an unbearable pain all over. His mouth was filled with blood.

"You have no idea who you are dealing with," Master Karu shook his head, and slowly walked towards Shi Yan with a dark face, "You boy, come back and obediently be my medicine slave. You should know that I didn't strike you with my full power. Otherwise, you would have been dead already."

"Again!"

Shi Yan stood up. He wiped the blood from his lips and rushed towards Master Karu again with a determined look in his eyes.

"Hmph! You're seeking your own demise!" Master Karu laughed like crazy. This time, he didn't hide either, and activated his [Dark Light Shield] again. His entire body was instantly covered by a shining dark light.

Shi Yan held up his right fist and rushed towards Master Karu as if he wanted to try the same attack as last time. Master Karu sneered, "Come on boy since you're the one that wishes to die, don't blame me for doing you the favor!"

As Shi Yan was rushing forward, his right hand suddenly shriveled up. Before he hit Master Karu's [Dark Light Shield], a layer of white mist appeared around his right fist. A strong wave of negative energy, combined with desperation, fear and a killing lust, rushed out together instantly.

Master Karu's face changed. However, it was already too late for him to react.

The next moment, a terrifying storm of horrifying negative desires, filled with craziness and desperation, struck Master Karu's [Dark Light Shield]. The [Dark Light Shield], that was more than capable of defending from a full strength strike from an Elementary Realm Warrior, shattered into pieces within seconds. The evil spirits entangled around Shi Yan's right fist smashed right through Master Karu's body, storming through into his body like a wild wave.

Under the influence of that overwhelming murderous power, Master Karu's mind, as well as his body, were completely frozen. He had absolutely no time to react or prepare his defense.

Shi Yan took out the dagger that he had been hiding in his left sleeve and swiped right across Master Karu's neck. A hot wave of blood streamed out of Karu's neck, splashing all over Shi Yan's body.

A severed head flew up into the air and fell onto the ground three meters away.

The Profound Qi inside Master Karu's body was now running wild. Mixed with all those terrifying thoughts inside Master Karu's mind right before he died, his Profound Qi was now flowing into Shi Yan's meridians with an unstoppable force!

Shi Yan could clearly feel the unusual powerful Profound Qi. His excited body trembled slightly.

Different from previous warriors like Zheng Tie, Master Karu was a Nascent Realm Warrior. The Profound Qi inside his body was much more refined and vigorous. The Profound Qi that Shi Yan got from him after his death was way more powerful than what he got from the previous warriors. Shi Yan was standing still. He couldn't move at all. It took him a whole minute to absorb all the Profound Qi inside Master Karu's body.

After taking off the only bag that Master Karu had on him, Shi Yan felt like his whole body was aching as if he had lost all the power in his arms and legs. Especially his right arm, which he had used to activate [Rampage]. He couldn't use any strength in his right arm as if this was a side effect of using [Rampage], it made his body extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't let him get away!"

Not far behind, he could hear the shouting and screaming voice of Mo Yanyu. Although the several blue smoke bombs had successfully slowed her down, she had still finally caught up after a couple of minutes.

It seemed that she wasn't alone. Chasing along with her, were a few warriors from the Mo family.

At the moment, Shi Yan could feel that some energy within his body was caged for the moment, so he didn't want to directly fight against Mo Yanyu or those warriors. Shi Yan took Master Karu's backpack, jumped into the thick bushes, and started escaping wildly once again.
