This was also a derivative skill of the 8 paths,
-Plunder: A tyrant owns all under his domain, what he does not have, he takes.
It corresponds to blood, and it's power correlated to his comprehension of the path.
The path of blood was simple. It entails nothing but killing others for the sake of your own rise. And Hades knows all about that. He did it all the time in the Abyss.
Originally the Blood Seeker Fang could only drain blood, but with Hades' comprehension, he was able to drain essence with his blood, as they were inexplicably linked.
By draining his blood, he fed on the essence he cultivated for many years, to turn the strength of his enemies into his own. If his enemy has the earth, he'll take the earth. If he has the sky, he'll take the sky. If he has his life, he'll take that too.
The essence of a tyrant, to take all that you want, none can stop your desires. A considerate tyrant is merely a normal lord.
He silently took the strength of this ex-powerhouse, who was now helpless under his blade.
Even if he was 10x stronger, if his skin is weaker than stone, and his guard is down, then he'll end up just the same.
What strength, what hard work, all is the same before death.
"Please, please stop! I don't know who you are, are what I've done to you, but please stop! I'll do anything! My dad is rich! He can get you anything!"
The man did not scream anymore. Instead, he pleaded. He thought it was a person with a beast, mostly because he was stabbed by a blade, not something a beast with a maw would have. He thought he could still negotiate. But his words fell on deaf ears. He was no man, he cared not for such things, he was a beast in the end. The man grew weak, anemic, and shriveled. The loss of blood took his health, and the loss of essence took his youth.
He was, in fact, already 30 years of age, but he looked like he was in his early twenties due to his cultivation. His cultivation was remarkable for his age. It was one of the reasons he was so arrogant. But now it was all gone. Now his age caught up to him. Even though 30 wasn't that old, the loss of so much energy at once made the process much harsher. His skin pruned, his muscles fell limp, his body grew thin, his skin sagged, his hair turned white, and his eyes lost any spark they had before. He looked like a 50 year old who hadn't moved in months.
Then it ended. The cruel fangs finally left his neck, leaving 2 ugly holes. Scars for his suffering. The man now looked weak, weak as a child. No, weaker than a child. He had lost all his cultivation. Even a child could beat him in his state. This was no surprise, as he was a cripple.
The blade too, left the man's neck, though he couldn't feel it, and the body fell limp.
Hades left him enough blood so that he could live, though barely.
He made a promise after all. He was sure Chen Yan would be quite proud of him.
Now was the next step, the Blood Seeker Fang wasn't the only thing he wanted to try.
"A... cat? You coward, don't even dare to reveal yourself."
He finally stepped in front of the human, who looked deathly surprised, but clearly did not recognize him, and still thought he was a someone's slave beast. Hades figured he was too focused on on watching female humans.
Wait a second... just females...?
It was only now that Hades figures out that this human only wanted to court Chen Yan.
If that's the case, then he must've made a mistake! It surely wasn't a crime to court a female!
But then he remembered Chen Yan's speech about laws. She mentioned rape, sexual misconduct, indecent behavior, stalking, and harassment. All of which was described in detail to him.
What he understood was that if a human male were to court a female, he must have the females permission, otherwise he'll get executed.
What he gleaned was that the mating rituals of humans were rather risky.
In the end, he justified his behavior in crippling this man by thinking that he was 'breaking the law', concluded by Chen Yan's displeasure at his courtship.
So as long as he wasn't dead, it was fine. He concluded that and through it to the back of his mind. He had more important things to do.
He pricked his paw, then lightly scratched the human's forehead.
The human looked very confused. He was deep in thought, as if recognizing something but couldn't quite remembering it.
Then as Hades moved his paw to the foolish human's forehead, the man's eyes gaped in shock, dumbfounded. It seemed he realized his intentions.
The paw pressed against his forehead. And he growled sinisterly, revealing a grin that belonged to the Cheshire Cat.
They both glowed, and the car was now filled with the light of souls. Countless glowing soul chains pierced and strangled the man's soul.
A battle of wills was the next step. But it was all but one sided.
On one side was a tyrant of another world who put nothing in his eyes.
And the other a man brought from heaven to earth, completely crippled in body, and might as well be in soul.
He could not resist, and a soul conTract was branded on teacher Wen's soul...
