53 Anticlimactic Figh

Then the noises stopped. For the two of them who were focused on the other party, the outcome was unclear.

"Even if you ought to die and will die, I will allow you to say your final words." Gu Ye coldly said.

"Look. There's no need for meaningless bloodshed. I have a proposition for you..." Pordhi blattered.

But Ge Ye could immediately see what was going on, behind his back, Pordhi was already preparing something.

Knowing the underhanded trick, Gu Ye flicked his sleeve and a 'Bloom' character appeared.

"Talisman!" Pordhi's pupils contracted. Talismans are expensive consumables that only rich masters could afford! He immediately felt danger and rolled over the ground.

Swoos.h.!.+

Bang!

The resting cave rumbled as the dust of the strike twirled.

Pordhi glanced at where the palm had gone and saw a fifteen centimeters deep palm strike on the stone. He wouldn't die from the strike but it would severely injure him and finis.h.i.+ng him off would be easy.

There's no time!

He sweated a little but soon prepared his counterattack. Although this master was very strong, he had fought with many experts and killed them with his cunning.

Brrrr!

Pordhi's arm trembled as they grew fur and his nails became fangs.

"ROAR!"

Peng!

He pounced to his target but the attack missed. Ge Ye was clearly prepared for this.

"I've already expected this!" The shout exploded into one's eardrum as the supervisor kicked Pordhi to the wall.

BOOOOOOOM!

The cave trembled as though an earthquake greeted its presence in the surroundings.

"..."

Witnessing this, the students grew silent. One glance was only needed to know that it was a one-sided fight.

In fact, one could say that it was anti-climatic.

That at least was Tang Ling's thought. After all, Pordhi had a huge bounty but the fight ended so quickly and easily?

The fight was hyped to an unprecedented degree but that is the climax?

Tang Ling was a little disappointed.

The usually silent senior seemed to notice Tang Ling and the other disciple's disappointment and explained.

"Beastmasters' main strength relies on the strength of their familiars. We've only won easily because we have the number. He is only one man but has around thirty wolves under his command, if it was 1v1, the opponent would be overwhelmed and die. However, we're now doing a 13v1 so it's normal for him to be overwhelmed especially when faced alone against Master Gu Ze."

The senior suddenly squinted, "Especially against Master Gu Ze. Look at that, with this thing, he would mitigate his weaknesses of being weaker in 1v1..."

A misty form coming from the deep hole that was Pordhi's imprint walked slowly but surely.

Taking out a candle, the senior with the feather fan ignited the tip and waved his fan.

"Seven Days in Sahara!"

An orange gale made of sparks was from a simple candle and went to the direction of the poisonous blob.

Sssssiiiii...

Tang Ling's skin was a little red from all the heat emitted.

The gale of fire touched the poison blob and exploded!

-126

Psshhhh...

The 'self' which bound all the poisonous gas together was no more and as such, a cloud of unrestrained poisonous gas leaked through the hole. The disciples quickly made the smart decision of distancing themselves as much as possible, letting the poison dissipate into the air.

Confirming that the air toxic concentration was no longer threatening, Gu Ye entered the small deep hole he created and took back the corpse.

Looting the corpse, it was clear that Pordhi was quite poor.

One decent saber, a necklace of fangs, two bone flutes, a bag containing five gold coins, two smoke bombs, and a broken jaded seal.

"It's a pity. If he had not broken this jade seal, it would sell for quite a fortune. However, he had broken and it's now just a piece of broken jade, only worth twenty to thirty silvers..."

All of his possessions were only worth a few gold coins which were a lot for Tang Ling but for these young masters, it was only pocket change, not to mention, that it would be divided by the number of people here.

... it's not much...

However, it wasn't the loot that was important, it was the bounty. This guy was a criminal who slaughtered peasants and martial artists alike so the bounty for his head is huge.

Tang Ling looked calmly at the remains of what seemed strong yet weak opponent. The shattered bones protruding his chest and remains of flesh flying left and right from the impact did not make him flinch. Death and gore were not rare in the slums, a battle between gangs would often result in a few splintered bones, a few stabs here and there, and sometimes leaving a corpse or two if the conflict becomes especially violent.

As for gore, although he felt quite unsettled, it wasn't the first time that Tang Ling saw such events. Death in battle was usually b.l.o.o.d.y as the human would not just cease to exist after a stab or two.

Arms need to be split off, vital organs needed to be penetrated or the skull needed to be bashed to kill one of these tough guys. As for the civilians outside of the slum? Tang Ling didn't know, when he killed Kan Hugu, he only needed one or two shots into his fat body but with the power that was the ex-Bursting Glock, few would really survive from the Burst Bullets.

Then suddenly, Tang Ling had a strange sensation, there was a crawling sensation on his skin.

"ssssiiii..."

He then remembered that he just hatched a pet and the pet was a snake. It stayed silent and immobile through the journey and even the fight but now it was awake?

The small infant snake looked at him with its begging but somewhat menacing eyes, as though it was begging for something; a toy of some kind. However, Tang Ling knew that the baby snake did not ask for toys but something else. Wild animals do not need toys and Tang Ling guessed that his pet asked for food which would explain why it awakened.

Tang Ling looked around but nothing really appeared to be an item of interest. However, following the snake's gaze, he was directed to Pordhi's corpse and immediately knew what it wanted.

"If there's nothing valuable, I'll like to take the jade." Tang Ling stepped forward and stated his intention. If necessary, he would be willing to pay a few from his pocket to make up with the difference. "Hm? Okay."

Gu Ye waved his nonchalantly, the other people just raised their shoulders. Curious but not outrageous.

Everyone here has its quirks and secrets, he himself had multiple too. Perhaps it is needed for cultivation, perhaps his disciple is a good craftsman who will be able to resculpt and resell it at a good price, or maybe jade with mystical power is a key ingredient for a talisman of some sort.

Whatever is the case, it was n.o.body's business to poke into. The world is wide and secrets, aplenty. Even the 'legendary' travelers in Wandering Sect would not confidently say that they know everything, in fact, the more they travel and acc.u.mulate knowledge, the more they feel insignificant in this world.
