CHAPTER 38: KILLING A LATE STAGE TIER 3 EXPERT

Their aura dropped by one minor stage. The ones in the late tier dropped to the middle stage while the ones in the middle stage were the worst, their aura was now barely in tier 3. The attack is too strong for them. He smiled when he saw that. He looked at the four weak tier-three experts while smirking.

"Looks like you can't use the attack again," he said.

"Humph, even if we can't use the attack again we can still take care of you," One of the ladies among them said. His sword blazed with origin energy while his white hair danced wildly in the air.

"Then let's finish this," He said. The nine rushed towards him, their speed was now in his range, and he could now see them very well. Using the flowing movement he created, he moved irregularly and in his place but something happened. Water avatars were created wherever he moved, he was surprised but he did not do anything.

"Clang" his sword collided with the fan of the lady that talked earlier.

"Hng" She grunted as her arms turned numb and her sword was directed to the side, she felt her arm turned numb again. Immediately she knew she was in trouble,

"Clang" Mark directed his sword to the back again and it collided with another weapon at his back. Two attacks were rapidly closing to him, they collided with him and he crumbled. He already disappeared.

"No," One of the guys thought and quickly thrust himself forward but it was too late, he was engulfed by sword intent and was pulverized. Another tier three cultivator is gone. The pirates saw this from afar and they were terrified, they knew that this was not their fight and most of their tier three leaders were outside, they could only wait for them to come back.

Mark's hair flowed in the hair wildly as he rushed towards another tier three expert. It was a lady,

"No," the lady thought and rushed back.

"Final stake" He used his skill again but this time he arrived in front of another expert. The sword intent engulfed the cultivator and pulverized him. No one thought his target would be another person, he fooled them.

"Seven left," He thought. He looked at the other seven.

"Looks like you are in trouble" A voice was heard as two men and a woman appeared. The pirates in the distance all looked at the three as they heaved a sigh of relief. That was their tier-three boss in this control point, the only one that could handle the terrifying youth before them. They were also late-stage tier-three experts. Mark's face changed as he looked at those pirates.

"Bloody face pirates" The infernal cult cultivators all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the pirates. The Bloody Face Pirates are a universal pirate organization with up to five instructor-tier experts controlling. They are the strongest pirate group out there and they control almost all pirate groups out there.

"Let's have a deal, we will deal with this youth while you should deal with the remaining two, and I'll hand over his body to you," The bulky man in the front said.

"Ok" The infernal court cultivator said and they returned to the restaurant.

"Boy, you should surrender," the bulky man told him.

"Why will I surrender" he answered.

"Because you don't stand a chance against me," the bulky man told him. Mark just held his sword.

"Looks like you like to have it the hard way" The pirate said and

"Whoosh" He disappeared from where he was. Mark felt something and crossed his sword in front of him.

"Bang" He was blown off. Even though he was wearing armor, his arm turned numb.

"Strong," he thought. The man must be very close to tier 4. He was still trying to stabilize himself when another sword smashed into his chest armor, and he was thrown onto the floor immediately. He rose from the ground and faced the bulky man, he looked at the other two.

"Don't look at them, I am enough to kill you" The man said as he rushed towards him. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the man that was rushing towards him, the image of a silvery white sword appeared at his back. Terrifying sword intent spilled forward from the sword and he swung his sword forward. The man saw what happened and stopped abruptly, then he jumped back because he sensed danger.

The abrupt change of movement made it difficult for him to stabilize himself so he staggered. His eyes widened and he looked at his left hand and saw the stump on his left hand where his arm was before. Mark appeared before him and

"Final stake" he used his skill. The man wanted to dodge but his movement was hampered because of the blood he had lost so he was a little bit slow. His right hand was also shredded before he saw his world spinning and lost his life.

"What" The other two were surprised, everything only happened within a split second. Mark made his calculation. He knew that he was weaker than the man before him so he waited for the right moment when the man would drop his guard and release his weird phantom. Then he directed the sword qi towards the neck of the man but the latter quickly discovered something and dodged back so the sword qi only cut his arm.

He looked at the other two, they were soul cultivators, they tried to attack his soul but nothing happened because he already had a fully developed soul. They were surprised because their attacks did not work on him.

"Whoosh," he arrived before them. They could not do anything because their body is weak, so his sword cut through them and killed them. He gathered all the rings on the battlefield before he rushed back to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw dead bodies of the weaker infernal court cultivator bodies on the floor. He saw the other three being surrounded by the seven infernal court cultivators. They were in a miserable state because cuts were already on their body. The infernal court cultivators turned around when they saw someone enter the restaurant, they were surprised when it was Mark.

"You did not die," they said surprised.

He looked at them with murderous intent. They knew that there was no chance of beating him again so they escaped. He did not bother to chase after them, he just went to the three,

"We have to leave," he said. They left the restaurant. Not long after they left, the remaining pirates got to the scene. They already saw what happened and they were still terrified by Mark's strength. Everywhere around the restaurant was already destroyed. Just as they were looking still recovering from the sight around them, a lady appeared.

"I'm so fortunate, I get to eat a lot of flesh and also absorb this blood. I also found four individuals with appealing blood. I will evolve once more" The lady said.

"Who are you" The pirate looked at the lady warily as they said because she was not radiating any aura,

"The one who will eat you," She said as she flashed a wicked smile.

"A demonic cultivator" Their face turned terrified when they heard that.

"Oh, you know me," The lady said as she smiled sinisterly and her two long fangs were revealed.

A ship flew out from the dock, Mark looked outside the ship. When they were out from the control point, he finally sat down while the remaining went to the rooms on the ship to recover and cultivate. He took out all the interspatial rings they collected from the war. He sorted it out, and this time he was able to get up to one hundred spiritual crystals and some qi crystals.

"These pirates are rich," he thought because getting spiritual crystals was not easy. The exchange rate was one thousand universal crystals for one spiritual stone. Apart from that, they were able to gather barely one million universal crystals.

"Apart from the spiritual stone, these pirates are very poor when it comes to universal crystal," He said but he was not disappointed because of the different treasures. He took one spiritual crystal and started to absorb the pure spiritual energy from it. He felt the pure energy from it, the energy entered his soul and like a soil that had not absorbed water, his soul started to absorb the spiritual energy. It pulsed with joy. Within hours, he finished absorbing one spirit crystal.

Back in the infernal court

Inside the castle, in a grand hall. Three middle-aged men and a middle-aged lady were standing. They were in the highest position within the infernal court, the master tier expert of the infernal court. Tan Zhi who was the ape king and also the owner of the samsara god eye, his left eyeball was pitch black. Tan Shu who is the poison goddess and also the owner of the world eye, her left eyes is showing a myriad of colors. Tan Shan who is the strongest of them the dragon king and also the owner of space-time eyes, his left eyeball is white. Tan Yun who was the tiger king and also the owner of the divination eye, ld.

"I just found a talent," The ape king said.

"What kind of talent can catch your eyes" The poison goddess.

"You know the origin energy we read in the book," The ape king said.

"Don't tell me" the dragon king said as his eyes suddenly changed.

"Yes," The ape king answered.

"It's a lie," Tiger King said abruptly as he squinted his eyes.

"Ok then" The ape king smiled mysteriously and he took out a bottle with rippling silvery energy.

"I took the risk to strike and get this from him without letting him know. This spilled out from him" The ape king said. They took the bottle and studied it together. The more they studied it, the more their eyes widened.

"It's true," the the the the Poison goddess said with wide eyes.

"Let's strike now and get him," The dragon king said excitedly. His body was shaking due to the amount of excitement he was feeling.

"No the enforcer knew that I moved and there is also a master-tier expert placing tabs on the boy, so I'm planning to send them," The ape king said. The other three nodded in agreement when they heard that.

"What are you waiting for, let's send them before he goes to the central region," The tiger king said.
