Training until the end of the week I continued to feed on non cultivators to satiate my hunger
******
'7 days have passed now those wave sword idiots must be going to war soon'
Cutting up more cloth I repaired my damaged cloak and heading towards the sect
******
By nightfall I arrived on one of the outer walls and I peered over to see nobody there
Adding qi to my eyes I scanned the place for anyone left behind
'Five people in the building on the left'
'Two in the middle'
'Must be those deemed not fit for combat'
As the middle building seemed to be more developed I concluded that those of higher status in the sect stay there
'First priority is the body of the elder I killed'
Following the sweet smell I headed into the main building and went into a back room to find a table
'Why is there so much incense in here'
Walking up to the body I mocked
"My oh my what a forgotten relic you have become"
"Just a martyr for a pointless war"
Eating the rest of the body my ki doubled again
But something was different
*gack* hacking and coughing it felt like my I sides were on fire
But it felt right like it was supposed to happen
As the process went on I could feel my previously misty qi condense into a liquid like substance
Feeling my qi finnaly subside I felt stronger, deadlier
Bringing myself up I could feel the flesh on my palm had changed
the skin was still there but I could feel that under it, It was the same steel like material that became my fingers
"Perfect, should be able to be more versatile like this"
'But now…its time to crush the future of this sect'
Leaving the room I headed upstairs following the stronger of the two qi presences
Arriving in the room I saw a man even older then the previous elder I ate, however he wasn't much stronger from the feel of his qi
'I know exactly what to do here' I though grinning sadisticly
Slowly walking up I used my bow harder palm to strike his spine right below the skull
The old man woke up "hey what are you-" he said trying to move
"Huh what the?" He asked
I hit the same pressure point as I did with the soldier that defied me
I could see his mouth moving as if begging to talk
"Shhhhhhhhhh don't want to wake the others"
In this light my eyes looked as though they glowed while shadowing the rest of my figure
Seeing this in a mirror I grinned even more
And so I began breaking each bone
One by one
The fingers *crack*
The femur *crack*
The tibia *crack*
The ribs *crack*
Breaking every bone except the skull
Then I started feeding
Starting with the arms I ate until it was reduced to nothing seeing his try to scream in pain for every bite I took
Moving onto the legs I made sure he didn't bleed out by stopping the blood flow to his legs entirely using my qi
Continuing to feast all that was left was the old man's head and torso
So I ripped his stoumach out and ate as fast as I could. Each organ gone within seconds so he could feel the pain of each one without bleeding out
The man died as I ate the heart but my goal was accomplished
'Time to finish the rest'
I ate the rest and felt my qi surge to double its size again
I could feel a slight tingle in my outer meridians
Black sludge poured out of my pores and I could feel my meridians becoming unblocked
Contrary to the name the meridian opening stage cleaned out the meridians allowing qi to freely roam through them
Staying in this bliss would not let me continue my plan and I head to the other occupant in the house
