A New Body

The human and the beast were hanging on a thin thread. At some point, Ye Mo damaged body rejuvenated a bit, which made the strength of his attack increase a bit.

His meridians, veins And bones were all damaged, he looked just like a caricature of himself. Pieces of his flesh hang loosely around different parts of his body, no, he was a man with just a few pieces of flesh left.

The Silver Snow Leopard was not any better, it's silver-like skin had been burned deep into the bone. Parts of its bone was already visible, it had lost all its former grace. Although it was now a fifth star beast, the tyranny of the fire and the terrifying willpower of the attacker caused it grevious wound.

Ye Mo laid down on the cold floor, panting, he was completely drained of all strength, he looked no different from a living skeleton. The wall of cave remained standing but burnt and claw mark could be seen on it.

Horror gnawed Ye Mo's chest ruthlessly, when he noticed the Silver Snow Leopard walking towards him with shivering steps. The difference between them was as wide as the heaven and earth.

The terrifying endurance and power hidden deep within the beast bone was something a newbie like Ye Mo could only dream of attaining after two years.

The Silver Snow Leopard walked with trembling steps but it's gaze was firm. Even at the cost of regression in its realm and strength, eliminating that human was a must. The price to pay will be stagnancy in cultivation and years of recuperating.

Waves of dizziness hit Ye Mo. Despair, unwillingness and all sort of emotions ran through his mind, his fuzzy mind spun slowly, he tried to find a way to die with the beast, the Silver Snow Leopard already drew close, Ye Mo searched around him for anything he could use as a weapon but only his heavy iron sword caught his eyes. He dragged the iron sword to his side, he tried lifting it up but to no avail, the iron sword refused to budge or rather he had no strength. The sword that was as light as a feather had become as heavy as a mountain. The Silver Snow Leopard growled angrily, three days of fighting with this human had made he refresh his views concerning human. His tenaciousness had deeply shocked the beast, the dignity of a fifth Star Snow Leopard had been trampled on, the human fought with the mindset of dying with his enemy. The beast knew that he couldn't give it any chance. It used the remaining bit of strength in his body to bounce upon Ye Mo, with its mouth full of sharp teeth opened wide. Despair filled Ye Mo heart, but when he remembered that he had a system who really wished for his demise and wanted his soul not to enter the reincarnation circle- Rage, unprecedented anger filled his heart, the bones in his body, let out creaking roar, 'even though, he died at a young age in his last life, he was happy at least he would enter the rebirth cycle and be born after some years, he never wished to have a chest system that would transmigate his soul to another world, a dog eat dog world at that; his only pursuit was to live a free and peaceful life, wordly desires, strength, cheat system, treasures were never things he hoped for, but the system kept corroding and corrupting his mind, the ever dormant system paid no yield to his situations at all. Just spewing out constant bullshit, even in the novels from his previous life, when the host of a system would release a dazzling move to protect the system and kill the source of the danger. He had called out to his system many times, this past three days, the number of times he called out to the system had pars three digits, but the response he received was silence, absolute silence, it was the system had gone into his hibernation period.

Ye Mo turned his anger for his damn system to the source of his strength, from who knows where, the strength to lift the heavy iron sword came upon him, his body shook violently, by now the shadow of the Silver Snow Leopard was already upon him. It's bloody mouth was just a few inch away from his bald head.

The iron sword sunk deep inside the body of the Silver Snow Leopard, Ye Mo dragged the sword to the beast upper area. Blood spilled out like an fountain, the shade of red of his body became darker.

The Silver Snow Leopard widen its eyes in horror and disbelief at death's door. It could not wrap his head around the strength Ye Mo used to lift the heavy sword if it injuries were grevious, then Ye Mo's injuries were much worse than his.

Thud... Crash....

The huge body of the Silver Snow Leopard fell upon Ye Mo who laid listlessly on the ground.

And boom..... He descended into a world of darkness.

His injuries were already too bad and he stimulated his nerves for the last attack. His rate of survival would only depend on his fate.

In his sea of consciousness, faint streams of energy pulsated slowly, filling his body, the streams of energy was not spiritual energy, it was ten times purer and stronger than spiritual energy. The pulsating energy acted like it had a sentience on its own.

It revolved gently and spread to every inch of his body.

The streams of pure energy forced and poured out all the damaged organs out of his body, his liver, kidneys, the pieces of flesh hanging loosely on his body all fell off.

The damaged Meridians ever encased by the streams of pure energy and like a miracle from the fairy tale, his blooded meridians was cleansed and repaired, they writhled like snakes connected together in a different way from the former arrangements. The meridian formed an entirely new path, they were more wider and stronger, even the smaller branch meridians became much stronger and wider. New organs began to grow and replaced all the damaged organs. The new organs were as strong as steel, they had a vibrant energy and powerful force.

The streams of energy gathered together and formed a palm, the palm drifted out from his body, into the body of the dead Silver Snow Leopard. It passed through the opening of its upper area and brought out a core, the ice core, the temperature dropped a few degrees lower, the hand brought the core into Ye Mo's body. The core released waves of cold qi into Ye Mo's body, the palm made of pure energy dispersed into smaller streams of energy, they polished the newly formed organs with the cold qi, polished, refined, this process repeated endlessly.

The new formed organs were further strengthened, even his heart beat more vigorously, he was just like an unconscious ferocious beast whose heartbeat produced terrifying soundwaves.

Flesh grew on his bony body slowly, his bald head regained life as hair grew once again, his skin was like a dazzling crystal. He could be said to be a piece of exquisite artwork laying on the cold ground.

The streams of energy cleansed and polished his handsome face, his features became refined, his face became devilishly handsome. His face alone could bring chaos to the cultivation world. His beauty was not the elegant and gentle type, he had a devilsh beauty, his aura became more restrained and refined, one might not even know that he was still a body cultivator.

It was destined to be chaotic in the Wild Forest, the first batch of cultivators sent to the Wild Forest were in disarray and fear compared to their former enthusiasm.

Not long after they entered the forest, cultivators dressed in complete black robes hunted them and killed them for no reason. They racked their brains trying to figure out the forces they offended, when they asked the black robe assassins, the answer they got was the brutal attack of the bronze masked and black robe man. Although their attackers were also Spirit Cultivators, they attack and fought like seasoned assasins. In no time, their numbers dwindled into tens. The strange thing about them was that they never left any corpse. 'Where they took the corpse to, what value did the corpses have'?, remained questions the few of them asked themselves. They tried contacting the Tenth Master but it was like he vanished into thin air.

Different mercenaries organizations soon noticed this and cried out in alarm, the Jiang Town became pensive and gloomy, they sought for help from the city, even the other towns close to the wild forest were thrown into panic, they cried out for help. The attackers spoke no words, left no informations. They were just like Ghost Reapers, the Wild Forest became a dead zone, many mercenaries fled for their lives.
