chapter 17, Hunting the redhorn bull

After looting the bandit hideout ,I stayed down to heal and recover my Qi .I after that went back to the carriage only to find it gone when I got there. Dammed bandits now I have to walk all the way to buffel city hope you get mauled by demon beasts .

So i used electric dance running through the night after 3 hours I decided to rest. Kept on this pattered until I ran into a carriage moving towards the city on the road. Silently jumped and landed on top of it and laid there to rest watching the stars.

Soon I fell asleep and woke up early morning the carriage was close to the city. Decided to look at the gains I got from the bandits loot and my condition. My injuries healed over night but my meridians were a little swollen from using black lightning last night. I need to temper my body for this .

I also reached the barrier to mid Qi absorbing stage. I'll breakthrough when I get back to the sect. I looked into the space rings There I got a more than 3000 low grade spirit stones and even some 140 mid grade stones from the leaders ,along with few dozens of yellow grade weapons.

There are some alchemic pills along with metals I'd say were robbed .But the best of all were body refining resources in the leaders space ring and silent steps from the assassin. Moved most the good stuff to my personal ring and left the weapons in a separate ring ,with the stones taking another.

Chilling on the carriage roof , finally saw the city gates after about 3hours travel. I wore my coachman clothes on top and climbed down next to the coach driver. Before he could scream in suprise I covered his mouth. Relax I'm just hitching a ride .

Then took out a few low grade spirit stones, here take this for the trouble. Don't wanna walk all the way to the city so just keep quiet and keep driving. With me posing as a coach man we soon arrived and got in the city no problem .

Got out the carriage and jumped onto the rooftops. I changed my clothes to wear black pants and t-shirts with the bear coat I made.

Jumped through the roofs looking for restaurant ,found one soon after and went in. Ordering rice and meat i ate my fill and left looking for a place to sell of my stuff.

Walking around the business district I sold of all the weapons and battle arts making a few thousand low grade spirit stones. Dam banditry makes good rewards sometimes. After taking care of business I left the city for the forest to finish the mission.

In the woods Frank wondered around the outskirts looking for a red horn bull. Hours searching yet he found nothing while avoiding other demon beasts .Night came and passed but no results but soon Frank found his target. A solitary male feeding near a stream .

Big brown ox , 2.5M tall to the shoulder, 4M on the body . With red curved sharp horns that deadly , pointing forward.

Can't waste time on this fight wanna go breakthrough Frank said to himself. Then black lightning flashed on his legs with arms covered in grey.

He sped toward the bull before it could sense him. With a quick attack he slashed its neck and the underside of its belly.

The bull cried out in pain before trying to stomp Frank ,he rolled away .

Frank tried to attack again but a whip like tail hit his side and send him rolling away .

Frank got up from the ground to find the bull charging at him. Fuck he cursed as he jumped up avoiding the attack then threw a lightning ball at the the bulls back and leg. It stumbled and slid on the ground before getting stopped by a tree but the belly wound got worsened from the slide .

Not missing the chance Frank threw several more lightning balls at the Fallen bull. Soon it got up staggering the bull turned to Frank charging at him again. He tried to jump over it again but a tail met him mid air smacking back into the bulls path .

The bull tried to impale Frank with its horns, but he rolled aside . Getting to his feet Frank used lightning claw and slashed the bulls neck. After two slashes the bull was attacking again. Frank crossed his arms to block the horns and went flying again.

The bull came charging at Frank who threw two lightning balls at its feet stumbling it. Frank then slid under the bull clawing at the first injury making it worse . Bleeding heavily the bull started to loose energy having Trouble standing.

Frank took the chance to widen the neck wounds but the bull still stood. This thing is pretty tough I'll take forever to finish here, Frank complained dodging the bulls tail. He jumped some distance away and threw a lightning ball at the bulls face.

Bulls tried to block with its horn but the ball exploded blinding the bull.

Frank used black claws for that instant and swiped at the bulls injured neck. soon his claws met bone blocking it's advance. The bull started rolling around Frank moved away not to get squashed.

Moving back Frank felt his arms and leg really hurting from using the black lightning prematurely. Gritting his teeth he ran to end the fight with the bull having performing a desperate charge at him. Frank slid down and sliced the cows feet making it loose balance and roll.

The jumped in and finished the fight by slitting the bulls throat with his claws . Finally finished if it wasn't for the materials needed in good conditions I'd have it easier killing this thing. Frank complained swallowing a mid grade spirit healing pill and storing the bulls corpse in his ring.

After a hour resting and healing. Frank limped over to the carriage road complaining about his weak body. Still can't even use the little amount of black lightning I have now. How deadly will this thing be when I reach the core formation realm.

Limping on the for a few hours Frank stopped a carriage on its way and paid for an extra ride. Laying on top of it again trying to expel the black lightning remains on his body. Got to the city the following morning and Frank moved to the harbour for a boat.
