"What audacity!"
This words echoed in the ears of the expert like booming thunder claps, the voice couldn't be described with gender, it was so fleeting in their ears that they couldn't even remember what it sounded like but they could feel their ears bleeding while their souls tremble.
"We...we're really sorry se... senior,"
" w....we...we didn't realise mount tai was before us ev...even though we were sta...standing before it, we deserve to be punished"
They both pleaded hurriedly while bowing completely.
Instead the voice boomed again with laughter, the skies darkened and rumbled furiously, the environment quaked, trees withered away with speed that was visible to the naked eyes.
The experts held their heads as they fell on the ground rolling in pain. As for the other passengers of the convoy, some had already exploded into bloody mist, some passed out with crushed bones while some were just fine with just a few wet spots on their pants.
These were the lucky ones who were at the back of the convoy far out of the range that was targeted by the demon.
After two minutes of laughter the voice halted and the whole world froze, it stilled completely like time had been stripped away from the world.
"Mount tai?? Mighty mount tai?? How can you connect such a beauty like me to something so huge and ugly?? Huhnn"
A seductive voice that sounded like a vixen but at the same time a wronged little child drifted into their ears.Among the surviving men, some couldn't control their lower region and the bulges on their pants was so ridiculous to see.
As for the experts, blood rushed into their brains and their faces flushed red and swollen and they immediately reacted to circulate some Qi to calm the raging blood in their bodies.
A small figure drifted into existence in front of the convoy, she had blood red eyes that looked so beautiful yet so cold that it could freeze anyone who stared directly into them, black horns protruded from the sides of her head and coiled round her head like a crown, her hair was so black it looked almost like the void itself.
Her face looked so beautiful it could only be described as someone who came out of a dream. She stood above everyone while looking down on them, seeing all the men in heat, a disgusted expression showed on her face and one simple snort was all it took for about 50 men to loose their manhood.
Screams echoed in the area , the smell of fresh blood permitted the air and yet no beast dared to come near the perimeter.
The experts looked up to see a demon and their expressions coloured despair. They all now understood that this was the end of the road for them. To make matters worse they couldn't even stand anymore in the presence of this demon. The demon didn't even spare a glance at them, her eyes was fixed on a certain someone who dared to fall asleep in such a situation.
Ryu knew the demon wouldn't attack, and he also knew the demon would attack if some provocation was made, he had wanted to draw the demon to fight it out with the experts but he had dropped the idea because he couldn't find any plausible way without making himself as food in front of the demon.
But one of the experts actually managed to draw the attention of the demon , what Ryu hadn't expected was that the demon would make an appearance after taking care of the foolish expert. It wasn't his fault because he knew clearly how bad the injury the demon carried was , his wrong calculation laid in the fact that he couldn't get her correct cultivation stage, all he knew was she was above the transcendent realm.
The demon appeared to be a succubus, one of the king class clans of the demons. This was Maia , she was a powerful succubus and just had to escape down to the lower plane due to some circumstances up there.
She had believed that taking over the whole mortal plane would be a piece of cake but that could only be more easier if she recovered. She had appeared in this forest after escaping the divine realm.She wasn't really targeting the convoy but she also couldn't hide her presence even though she wasn't really trying to make her presence known.
Her injuries were so severe that she didn't dare to be complacent about it even though she was on the mortal plane, right now her cultivation had even dropped lower than the body tempering realm, but her divinity was still there , that was why this few experts couldn't do anything in her presence .
But she still kept her eyes on the convoy nonetheless only for a rat to dare snoop around and tug on her fate thread, although she was furious, she didn't attack immediately because a Feng Shui master was still a Feng Shui master after all, no matter how weak his cultivation realm was. She didn't want to risk adding an injury to her soul by allowing a Feng Shui master snap her fate thread. So she patiently waited but who was to know that he would be so pathetic that the moment his soul power came in contact with her fate thread he would suffer a severe injury to his soul and now he was nothing more than a vegetable.
Today seemed to be a day filled with a rollercoaster of emotions for Maia , she had gone from happy to sad to angered to scared to amused and now she was feeling confusion.
A little ant was actually sleeping soundly in the face of her presence and the bloody air and screams weren't enough for him to wake up.
Maia felt like her pride took a hit but somehow she wasn't angered.
She looked at Ryu for sometime , she could feel that he wasn't human but what he was , she couldn't really understand so she ignored him and went back to her spot to recuperate but it seemed like she had overexacted herself and now she couldn't even keep her eyes open. She collapsed and fell into a sound sleep.
Once again the forest was quiet, no more screamings just dead bodies around and fainted bodies. Ryu stood up with a yawn, he didn't realise his sleep actually went that deep, but he felt refreshed.
He looked around and his jaws fell.
"What the hell happened here??"
When he looked to the side and saw a man with a flap of torn skin in the position of his manhood, his heart almost leapt out of his mouth.
"What the...??!!! Did this idiots go and provoke the demon?? And is this some unique demon technique?? To attack the weenie?? So vicious"
He looked around and saw that the merchants were dead, the experts were dead, mercenaries also dead . The most important people on this convoy were all dead already.
He couldn't help but spread his senses to see whether the demon had left but once again his jaws dropped to the floor.
"A girl??" He ran towards were Maia laid and there he saw her clearly, he was sure she was the demon and now he understood that her injuries were beyond what he thought.
Her cultivation was now a level lower than Ryu's. Ryu stared at her for sometime but ended up stretching his hand. He first absorbed a her pain into himself, he could feel himself bloated again but he realised the energy back into her, helping her already healing system heal further.
He didn't really know why he did that , maybe it was because she looked even younger than he was or maybe something else but he still helped her recover.
"Atleast she'll owe me a favour and bring me out of this forest"
Ryu said after he finished with her, he went back and began plundering, there were so many resources on the caravans that he didn't even know what to do all of a sudden.
He went back and searched the corpses of the experts and there he found their spatial rings, he emptied one after erasing the spiritual imprint on it, he then went and stored the full caravans in it.
He didn't even understand why the merchants carried such huge caravans when they could use spatial rings, but that was because he didn't know that even the spatial rings on the experts were stolen from some huge clans they had robbed some years back.
After storing everything away Ryu sat down and started absorbing all the energy in the environment, it wasn't even 30 secs when he felt like he would explode but he didn't stop and just directed them into the marrows in his bones. His bones creaked and cracked, he filled every single inch of space in his being with energy that when he stood up he felt like if he got poked a little bit he would become bloody mist.
He wasn't bothered about that, he just healed a horse that seemed in better shape then he took Maia and placed her in a carriage before carefully tying it to the horse then he started mimicking how he saw the horse being controlled.
In a few hours, after a few falls , he managed to get the hang of it and he galloped away towards the capital city.
