Jin could hear his own heartbeat loud and clear.
"Badump! Badump!"
With his heartbeat racing, the cells throughout his whole body were activated.
[Warning: Ki levels critically low.]
[Immediate supplementation required.]
Every inch of his body became sensitive, and he could feel everything taking place around him. He could even feel the slightest tremor on his skin when a light breeze brushed against his body.
While he was feeling the changes in his body, the voice rang again. He was already feeling strong, but the system was saying it was low.
[Two targets detected.]
He could see the two women, and they were the only ones present here except for him.
Is the system saying they were the targets?
The strange energy started to spread from every pore of his body, pouring into his veins and bones. It felt like endless electricity was speeding throughout his entire vascular system.
After an acute pain in Jin's eyes, the world in front of him became incredibly colourful and vivid. He was able to see the tiniest details on every leaf. He looked at the beautiful but cruel woman, feeling her ki flowing underneath her skin in a beautiful rhythm in her veins.
The forest was still the same. But to his eyes, it was like a completely different world out there.
Before Jin could enjoy this wonderful feeling, he suddenly sensed that the ki inside the woman's body was flowing at twice as fast as before.
Jin could even feel his nerves trembling.
Subconsciously, he pushed his left foot off the ground with all the force he had. With a strong power rushing out of his foot, Jin quickly moved three meters away from where he was standing.
Another crimson blaze in the shape of a dagger grazed his side!
The crimson lightning cut everything by his side with a terrifying force. This time the attack was much more precise and stronger than the previous strike!
Sweat covered Jin's back; he couldn't help but get excited.
Jin suddenly realised that this type of fight, which could kill within seconds, was the most exciting and thrilling thing ever! He enjoyed this more than any of his fights!
In the old world where he came from, there were all kinds of extreme fights available. However, he was bound like a prisoner in a cage of law, moral codes, and rational thinking. He couldn't do things without boundaries, he couldn't fully indulge in his passion, couldn't go beyond the boundary of law and moral codes.
But here, in this world where only the powerful ruled, nothing was prohibited.
Nothing was impossible!
Jin suddenly felt the excitement growing inside of him. He felt this might be the right place for him. This might just be his paradise!
...
"Hey!" Cai couldn't hide her surprise. She didn't expect Jin to evade this attack. She was sure that he would be torn to pieces by this strike and didn't prepare for Plan B.
Hearing her voice, Jin, who was still enjoying his survival, had just now come back to his senses.
Without hesitation, Jin jumped up like an agile monkey. He grabbed a vine on a tree and swung himself forward. He then grabbed another vine with lightning speed, flew forward, and reached for the next vine. In a series of smooth movements, he managed to approach Cai within seconds.
When he was bouldering, the vines on the mountain were indeed a handy tool. For an extreme sports enthusiast like Jin, swinging with the support of vines was like child's play.
Like a wild monkey, Jin quickly moved through the vines and trees. He didn't follow a specific pattern but still managed to approach Cai.
With a scorn on her face, Cai shot more and more green light daggers into the sky, destroying every vine in the direction of Jin. However, he was able to escape her attacks by a hair's breadth every time and quickly grasp another vine.
The truth was, Jin could already sense the movement of ki in Cai's body. Everything was crystal clear to him now. When he saw a surge of ki underneath her skin, he would quickly move in another direction.
During his movements, Jin started to feel that the blood in the pool had changed him somehow. He was not that strong before, but now, not only did the high-intensity movements not tear him apart, they made him even more sensitive and agile than ever before. His senses became sharper, and his body became stronger and more flexible.
"Swish!"
With a loud noise, a sharp red lightning bolt flew towards him, tearing apart dozens of vines behind him. Apparently, Cai almost exhausted her ki after such strong attacks.
"This is my chance!"
Jin suddenly jumped down from the trees and took Cai in his arms like a greedy eagle. Before she could gather enough ki to strike back, Jin was already on top of her.
"Boom!" Cai fell on the ground with Jin on top of her, tightly bringing her body under his control.
Face to face, Jin could feel her soft body more closely. Her plump breasts felt so delicious and fragrant; he squeezed the buns up close to his burning chest.
Jin felt unspeakable pleasure while secretly appreciating the woman's body. What a piece of art! Unlike the ordinary women from his old world, who used bras to look sexy and plump.
"Let go of me!" Cai expressed her disgust but didn't really struggle. She cursed, "If you want an easy death, fucking let go of me right now!"
"Cai," Zixun yelled from the back; she saw how Jin was moving and couldn't help but worry for Cai.
"Bitch!" Jin sneered, "You almost fucking killed me. Why should I let you go so easily?"
Cai suddenly became nervous. Before she could do anything, she felt this creep's kiss on her beautiful and sacred face. At the same time, the bastard's hands didn't rest either.
"HEY!!!! What are you doing???!!" Zixun yelled at Jin; she was all flustered.
Cai flew into a rage; the Martial Spirit inside of her exploded with a terrifying power.
Jin, who was still enjoying this wonderful feast, suddenly felt a horrible electric current flowing through her. He was instantly electrocuted as if he had been struck by a taser. Jin couldn't feel his own body anymore, nor could he gather any ki inside his body.
Cai pushed Jin away; her eyes were cruel and icy. She glanced at Jin, who was lying on the ground for a while, and cursed again:
"I won't let you die that easily, you bastard!"
Cai picked Jin up like a feather, passing through the forest towards the crowd with a cold face.
Zixun came to Cai, and she looked at Jin, who was now immobile.
"Are you all right?" she asked Cai.
Cai nodded, then they both walked towards the river stream where people were resting.
Seeing her, they got up and greeted her.
She threw Jin's body towards them and said to tie him up.
She greeted an old man, "Master Chian."
That old man asked, "Who is he?"
Cai said that he was some pervert who was trying to peek on the while bathing. She wanted to kill him slowly, so she brought him along with her.
Chian chuckled saying that she should just kill him.
-
At night,
The moon was like a silver plate hanging on the night sky.
The warriors were all training quietly. Cai hid herself amongst the foliage of a huge ancient tree, taking long breaths. Master Chian stood against another tree, reading a volume of his poison encyclopedia joyfully. Medicine slaves were lying disorderly on the wet ground behind the Terradrake.
Jin woke up from training and observed his surroundings quietly in a calculatingly manner.
Cai was at the head of the troops while Master Chian at the rear. The two seemed to not care about Jin, however their position gave them away. Apparently they were both on guard against Jin who was in the centre of the troops.
shein seemed to know that Jin would make his move tonight, so he didn't train, instead he focused on Jin who was ten metres away. Once Jin made a move, he would notice it and stop him.
"Too bad." Jin thought to himself. He waited for them to let their guard down.
As time passed, the bright moon disappeared. Dawn was about to arrive. However, Jin hadn't gotten a chance to escape yet, so he was a little anxious. After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to wait and was about to take action.
"Kaka! Kakaka!"
At that moment, a strange sound came from afar. Something was heading in this direction slowly.
As the ki flew forth and back in his arms, Jin's eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
"Everyone on alert!" Cai shouted, when she lifted herself up from the ancient tree. Staying in a high position, she looked into the distance for a while, then screamed, "A Venom fangs spider!"
All the warriors woke up from their training process.
The warriors were all wearing a rigid face. Before Cai uttered anything, they took out their weapons and crowded around the Terradrake in a circle, five or six metres away from each other.
Master Chian packed the book away and frowned. He walked up to the Terradrake and ordered in a low voice, "Keep an eye on the medicine bottles on the terradrakes!"
"Yes Master Chian!" The warriors responded in unison.
The medicine slaves woke up one by one. Hearing a Venom fangs spider was nearing, they were all frightened and ran to the Terradrake. Apparently, they all knew how cruel a Venom fangs spider was.
"Jingle!"
A bunch of keys flew out from Cai's hand to land under shein's foot. "shein, open the shackles on them! Or they will be killed by the spider! Hurry up!" Cai urged.
shein picked up the keys and looked up at Cai, then pointed to Jin, "Including him?"
"Yeah. I don't want him to die easily." Cai showed no patience on her face.
"Kid, be well-behaved. I will keep an eye on you!" shein snorted. He released the shackles on Jin first, then walked over to the rest slaves and freed them one after another.
"Thank God!"
As the shackles were released, Jin felt extremely relaxed and smirked in his mind.
The Shi family was an aristocratic family with a Martial Spirit. Although the owner of this body wasn't a Warrior, he loved adventures and searching for historic remains immensely. He was also familiar with all sorts of demon beasts. So when Cai mentioned the Venom fangs spider, Jin was extremely happy as he knew his chance to escape was coming!
The Venom fangs spider was a Level 2 demon beast whose eight legs were as sharp as knives. They liked to wander at night and always appeared in groups of five or six. The spiders were cruel and loved eating humans. Once they came across humans in the Dark Forest, they would never spare them.
Demon beasts were always much larger than humans. They had thick, coarse skin and could move faster than humans. Commoners would either die or be injured whenever they met one. Only skilled warriors could escape. Although the Venom fangs spiders were a mere Level 2 demon beast, they made their appearance in groups of five or six, and normal warriors couldn't move faster than them, thus it was hard to compete with them.
To meet Venom fangs spiders in the Dark Forest was a bad situation for anyone, as there was nothing valuable on its body and they were aggressive and moved like the wind. They would start attacking as soon as they saw a human and would never leave without getting something, even ignoring their injuries.
Jin approached the Terradrake quietly and stood by the panicking medicine slaves and started to observe what was happening, not in a hurry to escape.
"Shit! Eight of them!"
Cai cried from the tree, frowning with a rigid face. "It will be a nasty fight. Get ready! Remember, do not pursue and attack! The spiders will have the advantage if we retreat into the thickets! Do not fight in the there!"
"Kakaka! Kaka!"
The sound of a knife cutting the earth approached. Soon, they saw two Venom fangs spiders who were 10 metres long and 1.5 metres tall. The whole body of the Spider was snow white and as large as a bus, with eight legs like daggers; bright and sharp.
The Spiders moved their dagger-like legs and advanced in extremely quickly and nimbly. They arrived in an instant. Their legs reflected an icy light while moving and easily scared everyone. It was not hard to imagine what tragedy would happen once one was cut by those legs.
Seeing the Spiders show up one by one, the warriors were all silent. Cai had jumped down from the tree minutes ago. She was standing in the front of the troops, getting ready by inter-twining her fingers with radiant lightning. Master Chian sat relaxed in the sedan atop the Terradrake with indifferent eyes, not showing any indication of fear.
Soon, all eight spiders appeared. They were not stupid, as they separated and surrounded the Terradrake, and then shooting forth like eight cars.
With a harsh whistling sound, the eight spiders started the battle at the same time. White legs were raised up into the vast sky, they flew forward at the same time, rushing towards the warriors who were around the Terradrake.
At that moment, the air was filled with silver and white knives. The warriors reacted quickly. They thrust their weapons, while deflecting the spiders' attack, towards the beasts' waist and eyes.
Everything descended into chaos.
The Venom fangs spiders surrounded the Terradrake. White legs crashed down. Warriors dodged to the left and the right, and kept thrusting their weapons. Cai broke out her Martial Spirit. Her hands were twined by lightning and kept radiating [Verdant Crescent Slashes], which fell upon the spiders and left them trembling.
"Shooo!"
One of the warriors sustained a cut on his torso by a spider leg before he could react. His organs spilled out of him along with his desperate cry. He then fell heavily onto the ground.
The medicine slaves were so frightened that they couldn't help themselves and hid beneath the Terradrake. Some slaves lost their mind. They ran in between the spider legs in order to escape, but were nailed to the ground by the spiders' legs and died instantly.
Jin contained himself, his eyes filled with a strange light. He almost didn't move behind the warriors, the shackles ringing with clear sounds.
"Crack!"
The warrior in front of Jin, who was of the Second Sky of the Elementary Realm, bumped into another warrior while moving. Before he could evade, a spider leg cut through his neck and his head was sent flying. Jin was showered with his blood.
Jin's eyes were blurred by the blood. Suddenly, a desire of slaughter broke out in his body. The cyclones in his seven hundred and twenty meridians swirled madly while a potent strength welled out of the meridians.
The headless body of the warrior was spurting out blood. An air current, which could only be sensed by Jin, which was filled with despair, anger and regret, seeped into every pore on Jin. It flowed along his veins until it reached all of the seven hundred and twenty meridians.
In a trance, Jin felt as if he was back at the blood pool again, where he had absorbed all that blood into his meridians as well. The blood had changed his meridians, produced cyclones, and enlarged their capacity, which accelerated the speed it could absorb the blood.
This time, the wisps of air, combined with the despair and hatred of the dead warrior, entered into his body the same way, from the veins to the meridians, in a very rapid speed. The cyclones in his meridians spun hard as if digesting the air currents. Too nefarious!
In ten or so seconds, the air current stopped entering his body. The dead body of the warrior had dried up, as if the blood and ki were all sucked out of it. Like a dry mummy!
The desire to slaughter emerged in Jin's heart. When the seven hundred and twenty meridians spun in his body, the power of despair, fear and cruelty multiplied as well, which urged Jin to begin a massacre.
"Shwish!"
A spider leg flew towards Jin's head. Surprised, Jin controlled his urge to kill and moved behind another warrior to escape the strike.
"Chee!"
That warrior was blocked by the spider, when he thrust his weapon into the spider's eye with all of his strength. The blind spider went insane and brandished its leg, cutting into the warrior's waist. The warrior was cut into two pieces and died quickly.
After moving near the warrior, when Jin was just about to find a safe zone, things changed again!
The absorption power of his meridians erupted again! The air currents of rage and regret from the two pieces of the warrior's body insanely rushed into his vein and meridians.
In an instant, that warrior became mummified too.
Jin was dumbstruck.
Without a second thought, he assumed that there was another Martial Spirit hidden in his body. This Martial Spirit was based on his meridians and was able to absorb a dead body's power. Jin was frightened by this evil Martial Spirit.
Just then!
A Venom fangs spider let out a strange whistle, and the remaining six spiders flew back into the thick forest quickly.
Apparently they had noticed that it would be hard to fight with this troop. After two of them died, they finally withdrew.
Jin's face turned cold. He stopped thinking about that weird Martial Spirit at once and moved all of his ki into his feet. He dashed out with those Venom fangs spiders as fast as a whirlwind.
He could only run away among the spiders.
Suddenly a warm stream welled out of the meridians and into the ki inside Jin. His thin ki was twice strong as before!
Jin thus gained more confidence and went into a state of ecstasy. He looked back to Cai afar, running along with the spiders. He said coldly: "Cai, wait and see, I will fuck you one day!"
"Catch him!" Cai's slim body trembled, her eyes on fire, as she chased after Jin.
Master Chian was even faster!
The vicious alchemist kept quiet on the Terradrake as if waiting for something. When Jin ran away with the spiders, he jumped up and flew high after Jin like an eagle.
"Kid, I've waited for so long." Master Chian smirked in an evil voice while he was still up in the sky.
