Long Chen side-stepped and accurately dodged the first attack.
With the help of his battle honed instincts, he was able to sense danger much better than ever before.
The knife slashed down right before Long Chen eyes, and taking advantage of the fact that the man was exposed after missing his attack, he accurately slashed out a sword towards him.
All they saw was a flash of light, and the man who attacked Long Chen stopped moving altogether.
His eyes were widened in shock, not able to understand how he had actually managed to so swiftly kill him.
The group of five, now made four, all paused in their steps, as they looked towards Long Chen with a slight fear in their eyes.
The man fell down silently onto the floor, deader than dead.
[Host killed a 6th Qi Refinement Realm. Host gains 20 Experience]
Long Chen raised his eyebrows at this. He hadn't known that killing humans could also give him experience.
No one had offended him thus far, so he did not have a chance to know of this.
Meanwhile, the group of men looked at Bang Yun with gazes of uncertainty, not knowing whether to advance, or to retreat.
One slash of his could instantly kill a 6th Qi Refinement Realm. How terrifying was that?
Although they were not really sure how strong he exactly is, they all knew that he was strong enough to kill them.
Bang Yun was uneased with this situation, as his experienced perception felt a sense of danger creeping up on him.
Not wasting a moment, he cupped his slightly trembling fists towards Long Chen and bowed his head down, politely mumbling, "I apologize for offending you. We shall take our leave now."
Then he turned around and left, along with the group of men as fast as possible.
His disregard towards the Wild Wolf Gang told Bang Yun that the man really did not care about his background at all, and that if he continued to stay, their entire group was going to be wiped out.
Pride was important, but his life was even more so.
Long Chen was pondering on whether to chase them, when he eventually decided not to.
Although his outer appearance seemed calm and nonchalant, like he was merely taking a scroll in the park. However, his inner heart couldn't help but be perturbed with his first kill.
He suppressed this uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and was about to walk to check out on the girl, when a notification flashed past his mind.
[Congratulations to Host for killing the first human.]
{Activating System Feature: Human Talent Absorption]
Long Chen was stunned.
Now, he could absorb talent from the people he kill too?
Like how he could absorb talent from the monsters he killed?
Long Chen went towards the dead man's body and wanted to test out his theory.
He placed his hand down, and felt a connection to something within his body.
A glowing mass left the man's body, and then entered his through his hand, abruptly making him feel a wave of comfort throughout his entire body.
He felt that his senses were heightened, his eyes could see further, his ears could hear further, and his mind felt clearer. Overall, he felt more in tuned with the environment, and he could sense the surrounding Qi much better.
It actually worked.
His talent managed to increase after absorbing his.
This could be considered as nothing short of miraculous.
Now he had another path to enhance his talent.
This thought gave him a sense of excitement, but he quickly threw it away from his mind.
He was not an emotionless Devil, there was no way that he would kill others for the sake of absorbing their talent.
However, for those who offend him, they couldn't blame him for being ruthless then.
At least killing enemies in the future also had an additional benefit.
[Talent Detected. Absorbing Mortal Tier 5 Talent]
Long Chen pursed his lips upon hearing this.
Looks like the person he killed was rather talented.
He turned to walk towards the girl, and found her staring at him with vigilance.
Taking a deeper glance at her, he realized that the girl was rather beautiful. She had a sharp and dainty nose, as well as a pair of big beautiful eyes that evidently displayed her cautiousness towards him.
Long Chen clucked his tongue. She was still wary of him even though he saved him.
"Don't worry, I am not here to harm you. I was just passing by when I saw you, and just wanted to help a fellow disciple out." Long Chen slowly explained.
The girl looked at him distrustfully, her expression still of disbelief.
"I have never seen you in the Sect before." Her eyes stared at his unfamiliar face.
Everyone in the Sect would at least recognizes each other's faces, even if they don't know each other's name, and judging from his cultivation, he should be from the Inner Sect, where she also was located in.
"I'm a new disciple. I just passed the Admission Test a few days ago." Long Chen faintly smiled when he heard her words.
Hearing his words, she looked at him with even greater suspicion.
Why would the Sect even allow someone so old to join the Sect?
He looked around 30, and the age limitation for the new disciples was 20.
Even if you want to lie, your lies should at least be acceptable.
Her eyes also contained a faint trace of disdain.
What did he think she was, a three-year old kid?
She sat up abruptly, disregarding the pain from her injuries, as she directed her weapon towards him, her eyes staring at him furiously.
"Even though I do not know why you saved me for, but you better not try anything funny with me! I'm not as powerless as you think"
She waved the weapon in her hands as a form of threat.
Long Chen was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Why did she suddenly react so violently when he was just causally speaking to her?
His face was filled with confusion, then all of a sudden, he realized.
He was still in his disguise. No wonder she didn't believe him. She had thought that he was lying.
He withdrew the Bone Muscle Alteration skill, and his face changed to reveal a handsome and suave youth.
"I disguised myself just now. Do you believe me now?" Long Chen faintly chuckled, spreading his palms wide open in helplessness at this situation.
Yu Wan couldn't help but in a daze momentarily.
The contrast between the average middle aged man and his current elegant and noble face was great she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Are you really a Moonlight Sect Disciple?" she asked.
"I really am." Long Chen helplessly replied. If not for the fact that she was also a Moonlight Sect Disciple, and was seriously injured, he would have turned his head and left a long time ago.
Long Chen waved his sleeves, and his current blood cloaked robes were replaced with the Moonlight Sect's Green robes
It was only then that Yu Wan heaved a deep sigh of relief, and fell to the ground powerlessly.
"I'm sorry. It is just that I have been chased and betrayed by so many people along the way, I don't know who to trust anymore." Yu Wan turned towards Long Chen and said in an apologetic tone.
"Small thing." Long Chen carelessly replied, as he immediately went towards her and scrutinizes her injury.
A long scar ran down the sides of her stomach, as the pink red flesh was exposed, with blood continuously oozing out from her wounds.
It looked absolutely terrifying.
Long Chen was impressed by her willpower to stay consciousness after sustaining such a heavy injury.
Not all ordinary people were able to handle this amount of pain.
