Holding the Heart Destroying Spear which gave him a little more courage due to the poison it possessed, Yang Shen took a deep breath and focussed on the ape's back which had a huge hole in it and was bleeding non stop.
That was his target.
Calming his mind and following the instructions of the Dragon Pierces the Void, Yang Shen completed the process of circulating the Qi inside him as per the Battle Skill before jumping off the cliff.
Moving towards the ape in the air, Yang Shen did his best to maintain a proper position in the air.
Grabbing the spear tightly with both of his hands, Yang Shen moved his hands like lightning when he was near his target.
"Die!!!!"
Screaming loudly, Yang Shen thrust the spear in his hand forward and faced zero trouble as it pierced its way through the gaping hole.
Facing zero interference as it destroyed everything that came in its way, Yang Shen who was holding onto the Heart Destroying Spear could feel how strong this Battle Skill of his was to treat the creature's bones as paper.
Splash!
Along with the sound of his spear piercing something soft, Yang Shen whose feet were planted on the ape's back could feel the blood inside it stop flowing.
Not too long after this happened, Yang Shen heard the sound of the system's crisp ding inside his head, and followed by it the ape which had pounced towards the group of five mercenaries started falling to the ground with its eyes still filled with wrath and not knowing that it died even in death.
[Killed a Low Grade Profound Beast. Obtained 5000 XP]
5000?!
Stunned at how much XP he received from dealing the finishing blow to the ape, Yang Shen after bearing with the shaking of the ape that fell to the ground pulled his spear out of the beast's heart.
Imagining how many Points he'd obtain if he sold the corpse to the system, Yang Shen looked towards the five people who were staring at him with shock and the corpse with greed.
Snorting coldly, Yang Shen hid the fact that his dantian was almost completely empty of Qi and put on a brave front.
Smirking arrogantly, Yang Shen opened his mouth and spoke in a tone full of dominance.
"Birds die for food, and fools die for greed. Are the lot of you fools?"
Snapping out of her daze, the woman who was standing closest to the dead ape shook her head and said, "We were just shocked young master, we don't have any plans on the beast's corpse. We're more than thankful to you for saving our lives. How could we be greedy and try to take from our saviour?"
Nodding his head, Yang Shen moved his eyes away from the woman and looked towards the strongest survivor of the group.
A stout man who was neither tall nor short and was holding onto a bow while carrying a quiver full of arrows on his back.
An archer.
Who uses a bow and arrow in this world?
…. Someone who is very scared of losing their life.
Answering his own question, Yang Shen seemed to just be naming one of the many possibilities.
However what happened next confirmed Yang Shen's thoughts.
"This… Even though younger brother did kill the Silver Back Ape, our team suffered a huge loss while trying to kill it…."
With the man's voice turning softer and weaker as he kept on talking, it was almost as if his voice faded away by the time he finished speaking.
"So what?"
Even though Yang Shen didn't shout and simply raised the intensity of his voice, the man despite knowing that he was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator and the one in front of him was a mere Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator couldn't help but shrink back.
"Well…. I…."
Fidgeting and looking around nervously, the man didn't know why but he was feeling more afraid than usual in front of someone he deemed as strong.
It was almost as if Yang Shen was a Dragon, and he himself was an ant who wasn't even worthy of being crushed.
This was obviously due to the Dragon's Mark on Yang Shen's neck which made men feel scared and inferior if they didn't possess a strong mentality.
But regardless of what the reason was, Zhang Tai couldn't bring himself to say any more of what he originally wanted to.
Lowering his head in resignation and servitude, Zhang Tai muttered, "Nothing…. Thank you for saving us."
Seeing the strongest one among their group give up on trying to obtain at least a part of the corpse, the others who were all in the Qi Gathering Realm didn't dare to say anything which would ruin the impression Yang Shen had on them and instead began complimenting him non stop.
Scoffing coldly on the inside, Cai Lingxin decided that the scaredy cat wasn't even worth treating with disdain.
In comparison to that useless husband of hers, the spear wielding hero was so much better and her ideal type!
….
Having not long back started thinking if he should leave the Soul Devouring Mountain and look for some women to practice his Erogenous Beauty Stimulating Massage Technique and learn to control his Qi through it, Yang Shen couldn't help but look towards the woman in the distance that was applying bandages to her wounds.
Dressed in what looked like the training bra and shorts of this world, which were both red in colour, the woman who introduced herself as Lingxin made Yang Shen think of the barbarian women he read about in fantasy novels.
It should be mentioned that the main reason behind such thought was due to the huge axe she was carrying with her.
In fact, if not for the lack of ugly muscles and only standing five feet eight inches tall, Yang Shen would've thought that she belonged to some primitive tribe.
But, it was that wild charm which she had around her that made the woman with tanned skin look more attractive. Especially given that she was a married woman.
After all, what's better taming a woman from the wild? Taming a wild married woman
Not to mention that since the day Yang Shen had faux wife sex with Bingqing, he had been craving to sleep with a real married woman.
And now in front of him was a married woman whom he'd definitely love to sleep with.
Excluding her curvaceous body and voluptuous caves, Lingxin's face was quite attractive in its own way.
Black eyes, shoulder length brown hair, a face which was valiant yet sultry at the same time. All in all, every time he looked towards her, Yang Shen would want to ride her from the back and pump her full of his semen.
Flashing an attractive smile towards Lingxin who looked towards him for some reason, Yang Shen no longer sat in the distance and began approaching her.
