Killing

"Spread out!" Prince Yi yelled as he vanished, leaving an after image which stunned Jian Zheng and the others.

ROAR!!! Seeing the turtle that was about 5 meters tall heading their way they all utilize their movement technique to escape before it could squish them into a pile of blood. Boom! Just as they escaped the turtle crashed into where they once stood, stretching its neck that was almost as tall as an giraffe in search for them.

"You think your tough!" Ya Ba arrogantly said as he jumped upward with the intentions of slashing the turtle neck. Unfortunately, before his sword could even reach its neck, the turtle turned around and grab the sword with its mouth.

GRRR! The turtle grumbled, clenching its teeth it shattered the sword which caused Ya Ba to start falling to the ground. Seeing the opportunity, the turtle opened its mouth and stretched to catch the falling Ya Ba.

"Flashing Light Fist!" Ya Ba reacted calmly to the approaching turtle by using one of his sect fist techniques. His hand glow in blinding yellow light that cause the turtle to scrunch its eyes and making its mouth miss him.

"Haha! Die!" Noticing that the turtle was currently blind, Ya Ba sent a palm at the turtle head. His hand directly smashed into the turtle head causing it to groan while also burying the turtle in the ground and causing smoke to cover the entire turtle.

"That wasn't too hard." Jumping away from the turtle Ya Ba smiled arrogantly, "Who would have thought a Huotian Two beast would be so weak, I am rather disappointed." He said as he was currently enjoying the fact that he defeated a beast known to be on par with a Body Transformation Cultivator all on his own.

"Boss Ba is mighty!"

"Boss Ba is Undefeatable!"

His two followers cheered at his victory while Xue Yi looked on with confusion, "It just died like that?" He muttered as he try look through the smoke.

"Watch out!" As he was doing so he saw a shadow looming over Ya Ba's head. Turning around, Ya Ba saw red eyes glaring at him, before he could even react the turtle opened its mouth and bit down on his head, tearing it off his body and spraying blood all around.

Jian Zheng and the others looked on with terror in their eyes, Ya Ba didn't even have the chance to scream before he was killed, "An idiot will always be an idiot!" Prince Yi snored while looking at Ya Ba headless body coldly, "The Green Desert Turtle is known for its defense, I clearly told you all this but that idiot chose to be ignorant of that!" Prince Yi yelled with clear anger in his tone.

"Now there's only five of us. If someone wish to defeat a Huotian Two beast while in the Huotian Realm they will need at least a party of six to defeat one." His explanation made everyone's heart drop.

"Luckily I never depend on idiots." Prince Yi made a hand sign which confused the disciples, but soon two shadows came out of the bushes clad in golden armor, "These are the guards of the Royal Family." He said which explained these two people origin.

"Didn't you say you couldn't use the power of the royal family." Xue Yi looked on with suspicion on his face.

"That is in fact true, but who cares about two Huotian Realm experts? Guards attack the beast from the rear!" Prince Yi exclaimed then ignored Xue Yi as he began directing the guards on what to do.

"You guys better figure out what to do or else we will all be nameless ghost in a minute." Prince Yi shouted then rushed to help his guards.

"Tsk! You heard the man; Lei Feng, Wu Pengyun go attack the beast from the front! Jian Zheng follow me." Xue Yi ordered the two which they nodded then went to do as they were instructed, 'It looks like they weren't loyal at all to Ya Ba.' Jian Zheng said to himself.

Ya Ba was truly an idiot, acting like he was some main character of a story. He did as he pleased which led to his death.

"Lets go." Xue Yi said then ran towards the Turtle, "These sort of beast usual weak spot is their abdomen. As long as we attack there with our strongest attack we should be able to take it down." Seeing that Jian Zheng was right behind him he said.

"I will use one of my techniques to cause the beast to be thrown back, at that moment use one of your moves to kill the turtle!" Xue Yi commanded, he felt that although Jian Zheng was only at the seventh stage he had the ability to easily defeat those at the tenth stage.

Nodding his head Jian Zheng saw as Xue Yi went to help defeat the beast, "Scarlett its about time you stop being so idle and help me." Jian Zheng whispered to himself as he tried to connect to Scarlett but failed to so, "I guess I'm on my own." Jian Zheng said with a defeated smile, he did not know what happened to cause her to become so silent.

Not bothering with Scarlett any longer, Jian Zheng unsheathe his sword as white light began forming on its blade. Using Empowered Cloud to its max he then activated the four tears which blaze, mixing with the white mist coming off his sword and causing immense heat to spread in all direction, "I almost forgot I could active these tears at will, although I have never tested it before I believe it should be enough to injure the beast." Jian Zheng mumbled as he waited for the perfect time to attack the turtle.

Back to Xue Yi, he was currently dodging the turtle while using his movement technique. His eyes shine purple as if trying to identify any weak spots on the turtle.

Lei Peng then smashed the turtle head in the same position Ya Ba did which made the turtle eyes close in pain as it wiggle its head around to get rid of the pain that felt unbearable.

The two guards then struck its leg, leaving deep wounds on its feet and making blood leak out at an unbelievable amount.

At the same time black chains left Prince Yi hands which chained the turtle legs, restricting it of any movement.

Wu Pengyun also helped by constantly hitting the shell of the turtle. His continuous attacks led to cracks forming on the turtle shell.

The turtle fell feeling helpless. Its legs were wounded, its shell was on the verge of being destroyed and its head kept spinning in dizziness.

"Soaring Cloud Sword, Endless Mist Strike!" Xue Yi seeing the opportunity shouted as purple mist cover his sword. The clouds in the sky evaporated turning into mist that fall down on Xue Yi.

"The Soaring Cloud Sword Art!" Jian Zheng exclaimed in surprise as he never would have thought someone else would be capable enough to train in the Soaring Cloud Sword technique

Suddenly, the mist that cover Xue Yi entire being was sucked into his sword. With a loud shout his sword left its sheath which released a dazzling purple sword light that struck the turtle at lightning speed.

The turtle was then flung away, leaving its abdomen open, "Now!" Before Jian Zheng could admire such beautiful technique Xue Yi shouted at him to hurry, "Soft Cloud Quivers!" Jian Zheng yelled with all his might as his sword that was already out of its sheath swing upwards to strike the beast. His yell caused the clouds in the sky to soar at a fast pace as a scarlet-white sword ray filled with burning heat struck the beast in its abdomen.

The heat coming off the sword light instantly caused it to cut through the beast abdomen, leaving burn marks on its body and making blood splatter all around. The turtle then crashed into the ground with its eyes lifeless. A Huotian Two beast died just like that.

"We did it!" Lei Feng and Wu Pengyun cheered excitingly at their clean victory. Along with cheers they were also shocked by Jian Zheng power.

"Although we had one causality we still did it." Prince Yi sighed in relief as he went to pluck the Nourish Fruit that was buried from their battle with the beast.

"That kid is rather interesting though..." Prince Yi eyes flashed with darkness as a being that was complete black whispered something in his ears. The being resembled a human but was similar to a ghost as it possess no legs and had claws that were extremely sharp and long.

"Very interesting, lets see how it plays out." Prince Yi mutter mysteriously , "I want the turtle blood, everything else can be left to the others." Prince Yi called his guards and ordered then package some of its blood.

"We did it." Jian Zheng couldn't believe that together they actually kill a Huotian Two beast.

After using those four tears he felt like all the spiritual energy stored in his dantian was used up when in actuality only 25% of it was only used. Still, that was still a lot, 'I need to find ways to expand my dantian so more spiritual energy can enter it.' He said to himself when he soon saw Xue Yi walking towards him.

"We did it." Jian Zheng smiled at Xue Yi when all of a sudden he saw that Xue Yi face was extremely dark, "Where did you learn the Soaring Cloud Sword Art?" He questioned with his voice containing anger and hatred. It sounded more like someone stole something that belonged to him.

"I-" Jian Zheng was about to explain when a loud laughter echoed in the air along with two daggers that struck the two guards in their heads, exploding their heads at the same time.

"Who would have thought by following you lots we would encounter such good loot." Three men in dark robes came out of nowhere with cruel smiles on their faces.

"The Unruly Bandits!" Xue Yi exclaim as his face turn pale, he was clearly frighten by the appearance of these bandits.

"Someone actually know our great names?" A bandit holding two daggers said. He was the one who seemly threw his daggers without exerting much force to kill the two guards.

"Since you do then you know what to do. Leave the Green Desert Turtle to us!" Another whose body was huge shouted. His shout sounded deep but loud which cause the ground to slightly tremble.

"We defeated this beast! What right do you have to take it!" Wu Pengyun yelled at the newcomers, but just as he did a dagger also struck his head causing it to explode, "Rights? Since when did a world like this follow rules? Its the laws of the jungle!" The man in front sneered at Wu Pengyun who already died.

"Do you need us to repeat ourselves?" The man at the front continued as he look at them all as if they were already dead.

"Mo Nie don't take things too far." Xue Yi grit his teeth as he search around to see if the prince was still with them, but saw that he was no where to be found, "That bastard!" He clench his hands hard making faint blood come out of them when he saw that Prince Yi have suddenly disappeared.

"Hehe, as long as you give us the turtle we will let you leave." Mo Nie grinned while waiting for Xue Yi response.

"Fine, you can take half of the turtle." Xue Yi replied, but Mo Nie cut him off by looking at the man with daggers in his hand.

"Half? We want all of it." Mo Nie sneered as a scream could be heard behind them. Turning around Jian Zheng saw that Lei Feng also died. Now he was pale as he tremble with fear, he was wondering why Xue Yi didn't launch an attack on them since there was three of the bandits and three of them, but now that opportunity have been lost.

"YOU!!! Fine, take it all!" Xue Yi felt humiliated. Not only did he fail to protect the people on his side, but also lost the only thing they got that had any value.

"Good boy, Mo One go take the loot." Mo Nie smiled widely then commanded the big man to collect the turtle.

The man walked past Jian Zheng, before doing so he stared into his eyes as if looking through his soul which made Jian Zheng feel lifeless, 'If they wish to kill me then they could easily do so... However." Seeing the big man walking towards the corpse his eyes flash with killing intent as his hand move around his sword that was sheathed.

Reaching the corpse the big man bent down and touched the turtle, "This.... All the beast blood has been extracted!" The big man yelled which shocked them all.

"What? How is that possible!" Mo Nie screamed. The thing that was most valuable about the Green Desert Turtle was it blood. Its blood could cleanse the impurities of a cultivator past self before cultivating making it easier to breakthrough to the Body Transformation Realm.

It could also turn ones spiritual energy into pure spiritual energy. The purer ones spiritual energy is the less spiritual energy they use when using their techniques.

Mo Nie was planning to sell its blood in large quantity to an auction, but now its plans was ruined, "You! Where did you put its blood!" Mo Nie roared at Xue Yi with bloodshot eyes as he pointed his index finger at him.

"I didn't take anything from the corpse. It was all Prince Yi doing!" Xue Yi quickly responded in fear. His entire back was already covered in sweat that was dripping from his forehead and neck.

"Kill them both!" But Mo Nie looked as if he went crazy. He didn't hear Xue Yi and sentenced him and Jian Zheng to death.
