*Rawr*
*Groan*
"Damn, I am not the protagonist! Why did this happen to me?" Ye Tian Yun fell back again after the beast in front of him hit him for the fourth continuous time.
"I really don't want to go all out!"
He stretched out his hand, and immediately a 'swish' sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard.
Ye Tian Yun wanted to use his maximum strength. As matters stand, he did not dare to have any carelessness, sword striking down.
However, the beast was faster. It stopped the incoming sword with his sharp claws and blocked the sword in between its claws.
*snap*
The sword was now broken into two.
Ye Tian Yun fell down. As if waiting for this moment, the Qi Stealing Mole moved and struck again. This time trying to crush Ye Tian Yun under its foot.
'Crap!' Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but hiss as he barely escaped from death, 'Damn it, why the hell is this even attacking and where the fudge is those damned Elders!'
'Looks like I won't be able to escape if I continue to have my cultivation suppressed.' Ye Tian Yun dodged another incoming claw and rolled over to the side.
'System, stop the barrier on my cultivation!'
[Cultivation recovered]
[Cultivation: 3rd Level of Qi Stabilization Realm]
A weird but comfortable feeling spread through Ye Tian Yun's body, giving him relief from the pain he was suffering from the beast's surprise attacks from earlier. He felt endless Qi surging through his body.
'All right, time to finish this game.' He once again stretched out his hand and a new sword appeared in his hand, straight out of his spatial ring.
"One Ray of Cold Light..." Ye Tian Yun let out a long drawn-out chant as he struck his sword with a loud 'clang'. The look in his eyes instantly became sharper in that instant, "One sword for all!"
"Shiek!" Only a cutting sound was heard, this beast's claw was suddenly cut by Ye Tian Yun direct hit.
That beast roared and dropped down.
Ye Tian Yun stepped on the wall debris, not far from it, suddenly making his figure like an arrow, dropping towards that High tier Qi Stealing Mole to finish it off with his killing blow.
He didn't give a chance for the beast to recover and went for its head.
*slash*
*thud*
Ye Tian Yun stopped behind the beast. The beast remained still for a second before falling down with a thud.
[Congratulations Host, you have successfully killed a High Tier Second Rank Qi Stealing Mole, and gained 100 Kill Points!]
'100? Just 100? Aren't they too little?' Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but call out to the system.
[System is fair, unbiased and impartial]
'Damn, I really wanna argue with you, but I still need to clear everything.' Ye Tian Yun went near the body of the beast, took out a small knife and cut out the beast core of the beast.
A beast core of high tier spirit beast was no less than a fortune for any cultivator of the Lower Heavens.
Ye Tian Yun then raised his head and looked at the far end of the wall and said, "How long are you gonna hide, you should come out now."
From behind the wall came a young man, aged around seventeen, he was none other than one of the top contenders for the first rank, Kang Bai.
Kang Bai wasn't a very famous character and rose to fame after defeating a 9th Level Qi Refining Realm Inner Court Disciple in a sparring match. He wasn't very arrogant though, because he had been cultivating in the Gracious Sword Sect for about six years now and was known as one of the most preserving and hard-working Outer Court disciples. Though his talent, as per the Lower Heavens' standard, was above average, his luck wasn't always good.
After six years of patiently cultivating, he had finally reached the point where he could rule over the Outer Court.
With his perseverance, he was able to maintain his stand against the aura of a Qi stabilization Realm of Elder Mu in Stage One, and in Stage Two, though he did face some difficulty, in the beginning, he soon got a hang of the situation and was able to easily hunt down more than a hundred low tier Qi Stealing Moles and get their beast cores.
However, when he decided to rest for some time, he heard a sudden bang from a certain direction. The first thought that came to his mind was that there was a fight going on between many disciples, and he couldn't hold himself back, wanting to reap some benefits from the chaos.
But when he arrived at the scene, he became terror-stricken as he saw a huge Qi Stealing Mole, most probably in the high tier, and what made him even more shocked was that there was an unknown outer court disciple fighting against it. And somehow, that disciple wasn't dead even after big blows from the beast and was able to hold against him.
Before Kang Bai could even digest the situation in front of him, an overbearing yet familiar pressure enveloped him. The same pressure he had faced in Stage One, the same pressure as that of an elder, and it was coming from the Outer Court Disciple in front of him. A pressure of Qi Stabilization Realm. Kang Bai couldn't believe this situation.
How was it possible for someone no older than fifteen to have the cultivation of Qi Stabilization Realm?
One must know that at Qi Stabilization Realm the disciples could apply to become an Elder at the Gracious Sword Sect, in fact not only here, but in more than half of the organizations of the Lower Heavens, the Qi Stabilization Realm was nominal cultivation of Outer Elders.
And then, he saw the disciple in front of him cut down the high tier Qi Stealing Beast with ease and kill it in the next blow.
And now, he was found out by that disciple, and he really couldn't help but curse his luck.
"Who are you?" Kang Bai tried his best not to shiver in his voice as he asked the powerful and mysterious disciple in front of him.
"I am Fang Chen." Ye Tian Yun replied, and asked, "What are you?"
"I am Kang B—ugh" Kang Bai looked down as he saw a sword pierced through his chest. With his eyes now opened wide, he mustered all his strength to ask, "Wh...aii?"
"I didn't ask who. I asked what. In the next life, remember to keep your ears open.." Ye Tian Yun instantly appeared in front of him and with his small knife, sliced his throat.
