Moonlight Demon Tiger (4)

The two boars met their end without retaliation.

Ruthless and struck without hesitation, his attack dealt a deadly blow straight to the two Scarlet Eye Boars. The jade container also did not stay idle and begin to devour the blood from these two corpses.

After the blood is drained from the body, Yang Guang stored them into the Spatial Jade Bracelet on his right wrist. There's also two matured Blood Fruit for harvest, along with some Azure Jade Grass.

Unfortunately, the fate of wild herbs is either protected, wasted, or eaten. Four out of seven Azure Jade Grasses are ruined because they're not collected on time. Even the jade container is unwilling to absorb the essence from the grass like it doesn't worth the effort.

Yang Guang continued. But about a quarter Li later, he found two corpses believed to be the people hunting the two Scarlet Eye Boars earlier. One of them had his ribcage crushed into his inner organs, causing him to be dead on the spot. And for the other guy, his throat is unfortunately got cut open by the tusks belonged to the boar.

There's also some remaining Blood Coagulating Powder on his neck, believed to be used during an emergency. But unfortunately, his lack of experience causes him to made mistakes during the battle. Not only he failed to save himself, but he also tried for nothing.

Yang Guang collected some of their belongings to be turned into proof of death. This is the only method for him to make sure the news about them leaving this world is told to their next of kin.

Searching them for any usable items, Yang Guang noticed that the Spatial Jade Bracelet that supposed to be on them is lost. What he found out quickly tells Yang Guang that except the cultivation beast in this forest, there's another kind of hunter aiming to "eat" them.

"I should refine the Soul Jades they left in their clothing." Yang Guang found six Soul Jades hidden at a secret pouch on the back of one of the dead book-servants. And to ensure he's well prepared for everything that might happen later, Yang Guang decided to refine two more Corrupted Qi before he continued.

In total, Yang Guang can now include the Corruption Theory in his Mystic Jade Palm for five strikes. But to make sure he's well prepared for anything that might happen, multiple scenarios went through his mind at this moment.

...

"Why! Why are you people doing this to us?" a book-servant asked. His party of six members falls into the trap designed by the two pill-servants. Because the five other members had taken some of the pills from the pill-servants, they're the first few that got killed by the pill-servant's sneak attack.

"What kind of question are you trying to ask? Do you reply to the cultivation beast's cry before you chop their head?" a pill-servant with a sword in hand questions him back for the asking stupid things.

"Senior brother. I'm doing collecting their items. Shall we continue further?" the other younger guy came to this Pill-Servant's side after he was done searching the dead's body for precious items.

"Kill him. We're going to join another party next to reduce their numbers." the older guy said. Looking at the book-servant shaking nonstop due to fear of death, he lost his interest to deal the killing blow by himself.

"And make sure you... Ooof!" halfway in his sentence, this older pill-servant coughed a mouthful of blood from a sneak attack. Green colored mist also spreading out from the spot that took the brunt of the attack.

"Corruption Theory! That's a good hit!" Yang Guang's sneak attack is a success. By applying the Corruption Theory on his Mystic Jade Palm, Yang Guang's attack disperses the overall Soul Qi gathered on the pill-servant.

"Brother! Save me!" the book-servant lying on the ground called Yang Guang frantically for help. But he failed to notice that the loud voice he made attracts not only Yang Guang's attention but the younger pill-servant as well.

"I'll kill you first!" the pill-servant stabbed his sword straight into the book-servant's chest.

"Aargh!" he died on the spot.

"Damn!" Yang Guang cursed. And at the same time, he channeled a portion of his Soul Qi for his next attack.

"Your opponent is me. Clear the corpse and come help me!" the older pill-servant rush forward and exchange blows with Yang Guang. With the same cultivation stage at the 4th Layer Jade Formation Realm, the result is unable to be decided in a short time.

And every second pass is a countdown for Yang Guang. It is the countdown for the younger pill-servant to get closer to them, and also the timer for his Corruption Theory to take effect.

"Hahaha! Let me see how you're going to fight both of us!" mysterious confidence suddenly filled the older pill-servant's head. Like he's trying to finish the fight early, the older pill-servant suddenly went for a jump and attacked Yang Guang.

"Opportunity!" Yang Guang shifts his sight quickly at where the two servants are before he turned back to his opponent.

"Senior brother! What are you doing?" the younger pill-servant shouts, but nothing entered the older guy's ears anymore. His mind has been corrupted by Yang Guang's Corruption Theory and started to see something different from others.

"Die!" the older pill-servant continues with that momentum.

"Mystic Jade Palm!" Yang Guang's fully charged attack struck the pill-servant's heart from his back. The opportunity is here for him to deal a killing blow. And that stream of blood coughed by the pill-servant as he flew aside fortify Yang Guang's victory.

"Senior brother!" the younger pill-servant panic. With the strength of only a 3rd Layer Jade Formation Realm, he's not Yang Guang's match no matter what he does. Turning around and trying to escape, the pill-servant only managed to take his fifth step before Yang Guang gave him a similar death like his senior brother.

"Mystic Jade Palm is indeed... A skill capable of killing both Cultivation Beast and cultivators." Yang Guang sat beside the corpse of the Pill-Servant. His left-hand holds the wrist of his right, trying to contain the trauma of killing two fellow cultivators.

"This... I'm not wrong..."

"I'm... Just... Protecting myself, and the Sect." Yang Guang sat there without moving. His mind is still processing everything that happened a while ago, with the thought is enhanced by the blood of six dead book-servants and two pill-servants.
