After Raed finished searching for the man's soul, he killed him and was about to burn him when he suddenly remembered something.
".... Hahaha, you really came at the right time. That damned Heavenly Sacrifice Pill needs blood to be fed, and you will be its food..."
Raed said with a very evil smile, then gathered the bodies of the ten people into his storage bag. This bag does not carry the living, but since these people were dead, it was possible to collect them.
Raed was going to use their bodies as food for the Heavenly Sacrifice Pill. This might be somewhat cruel, but they came to kill him, so there was no mercy for them.
Raed moved away from the cave because he knew the blood would attract humans and beasts. He also collected the weapons, which included swords, spears, and a bow and arrows. He thought to himself,
".... From this man's memory, it seems that the leader is only in the Blood Refining realm, while the rest are in the Qi Refining realm. However, there are five leaders in the ninth level. I can't deal with them directly, so let's handle the weaker ones first..."
He planned to deal with the weaker ones first. He climbed up a tree and took out the bow and arrows, using his spiritual power to search for the target.
His spiritual power had become strong, much stronger than his current level. The Tyrannical Heavenly Emperor Technique truly enhances every part of his body, even his spirit.
Using his spiritual power, Raed found that a hundred miles to the east, there were five people at the seventh level of the Qi Refining realm.
He quickly moved through the trees using Shadow Steps until he was within a hundred meters. He drew the bow and arrows, and energy appeared on the tips of the three arrows.
Then he shot three arrows at lightning speed. When the arrows approached the people, they turned to look, but what met them were three arrows that instantly killed three of the five.
"..... Damn it! Who dares to conspire against the Venomous Snake Mercenaries? Come out, you bastard..."
One person drew a sword, and the other drew an axe and coldly said, but the response was two more arrows. However, they easily deflected them.
".... It seems I have to kill them with my own hands..."
Raed sighed, then appeared before them in an instant.
".... Damn you, kid. It's you. Hehe, but it doesn't matter. You will be a reward for the leader, just for the two of us. Thank you. Now, die, please..."
said the man holding the sword as he moved to kill Raed. But as soon as he moved forward, he turned and cut off the head of his comrade who was holding the axe. Raed was stunned, his eyes widened in shock.
"... What? Surprised? Hmph... Just trash wanting to share the reward with me. He deserves to die..."
"... But isn't this person your friend with whom you shared life, death, food, and drink..."
Raed was puzzled. Could benefits really erase friendship and brotherhood?
"... Hehehe, you are such a naive boy. Do you really think we are brothers? Everyone in the world seeks benefits. If my brother takes my loot, he will die. It's not just me, everyone is like this. It's the law of the jungle. Benefits over relationships... Are you ready to di...."
said the man with a greedy, ugly, and evil smile, but he didn't finish his sentence. He found a fist had pierced his chest. He looked in shock at Raed and died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
".... Benefits over relationships? Huh...?!!! I don't think so. If I had a brother I trusted, one I could give my back to in battles, knowing he would protect it, that would be more important than any gains. That is the true gain..."
Raed said, then collected the bodies and left.
