Chapter 172 Devour Again

When Ou Yangming’s Qi and blood dispersed, he fell from mid-air.

Nonetheless, he instantly found his footing, but he looked pale as if he was seriously ill.

Although he did not know the origin and the intention of the mysterious person, who approached him quietly, there was something that he was sure of.

Most of the strong powerhouses who approached him covertly were ill-intentioned.

Therefore, once Ou Yangming confirmed that the powerhouse was not someone he could defeat, he immediately escaped through the Blood Flight.

Inside the prefecture, he only had the guts to repeatedly contradict the Supreme Great Ancestor because he knew that the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors would not ignore the matter. If Ou Yangming really encountered a dangerous situation, he had a powerful backup.

On the other hand, what kind of backup did he have in the wilderness?

He would simply die soundlessly if he was killed and buried.

Such an unremarkable death was not the kind of ending that he wanted.

Ou Yangming panted heavily and shook his wrist to retrieve a dagger.

Afterward, he burned the intense Military Fire to envelop the dagger with it. The fire went away after a brief moment, whereas he entered an intangible and spiritual state.

Under that state, everything around him was within his sense and control.

Ou Yangming flashed and arrived at the bottom of a small hill.

A small village was located there, and tens of families lived scattered.

Ou Yangming scanned the place and entered one of the houses at the speed of light.

In a village, every house would raise some poultry to help out with family expenses.

Before Ou Yangming entered the house, he had channeled his essential Qi to close his pores so as to not give out any smell.

With that, even a pet dog could not smell him.

Sure enough, about ten birds were reared in the house. Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he quickly entered the henhouse.

A flash of cold light was seen as the roosters, hens, and chicks in the henhouse were slit by their throat before they could make a sound. Subsequently, Ou Yangming stabbed his dagger into one of the dead chickens, and he watched as the dead chicken disappeared after a few breath counts.

The efficiency and speed of Devouring +2 was far greater than only 1 point of the attribute. This was also the thing that Ou Yangming was the most delighted about.

He transformed the Qi and blood of all the carcasses in the henhouse without any hesitation, then he retrieved a piece of silver and tossed it inside. The silver’s value was beyond the worth of the poultry in the henhouse, so the residents would probably not disclose the matter.

Ou Yangming did a light leap over a wall to visit the next residence.

His eyes glowed as he wondered, ‘God is helping me.’

He figured that the family was a rich family in the village because not only were there chickens and geese in their courtyard, but there were also two fat pigs. The well-fed pigs probably weighed around 400 kilograms in total.

Ou Yangming was initially worried if the poultry here had insufficient flesh and blood, but he was instantly at ease after seeing the two big fellows.

He obviously could not bring himself to kill living humans, but he was not bothered about poultry and fat pigs.

After a short while, Ou Yangming left a piece of gold and went over the wall again.

Once he visited four residences, he fully recovered his energy. Ou Yangming was not concerned about the gold and silver that he gave because based on his smithing skills, he could easily acquire money. Ou Yangming was completely calm. Even if the fearsome powerhouse pursued him this far, he was confident about activating the Blood Flight again.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming found it strange that there was no news whatsoever about the powerhouse. The person had not chased him down at all. Even when Ou Yangming secretly employed the integration of Heaven and man and the thoroughly meticulous state, he did not find any trace of that powerhouse. All of a sudden, a middle-aged woman pushed open the door of a residence and walked out to the side of the henhouse. She carried a big round bowl and made “cluck” sounds, but she screamed with a ghastly expression on her face when she arrived at the henhouse.

“Why are you shouting? Are you not going to let us sleep? The baby’s awake now because of you!”

A thin man scolded as he walked out.

“Husband, husband, quickly look!” The woman cried, “Our chickens are gone!”

The man was shocked, so instead of reprimanding the woman, he immediately ran toward the side of the henhouse to take a look. Just as he was going to yell as well, he noticed an item.

Feeling surprised, he reached out his hand to grab the shiny item.

When the man turned around and heard his wife wail, his face changed, and he rebuked her softly, “Shut up, or I’ll beat you up!”

The woman was appalled,
