Chapter 100

The blackness was perfect, a sort of visual silence that gave revered awe . With eyes closed, there was the simple sweetness of existing, of being, of breathing, and how those moments extended with such grace until one would open one's eyes once more .

In this darkness, s.h.i.+n Jiao slowly felt those long lost feeling that he had felt before while training the Perfect Defense Sword . As it came back to him, he suddenly felt calm and compose, right now his mental fatigue is reaching its very limits breaking through the realms of mortality . Since his body and mind has been enhanced through strengthening and meditation, though not a martial technique but his own, it is still enough to make them surpa.s.s mortality .

Even without the use of spiritual Qi, unknown to s.h.i.+n Jiao, he was able to broke through and opened a new path . He has learned not spiritual sense but the absolute sense . If someone in the Saint immortal realm can see s.h.i.+n Jiao right now, they would be filled with envy . Having discovered the absolute sense in his young age would make s.h.i.+n Jiao a true genius when it comes to making cultivation techniques . The absolute sense is one of the most important aspects in a cultivator to reaching true immortality which is, the Deity realm .

What is an absolute sense? It is a powerful sense used by the G.o.ds to see through all of their dominions . It does not need any spiritual Qi as not all worlds contain them, but it uses a different kind of energy . The drawback with this is that great amount of mental pressure would be the test, so if one has not trained his mentality and physique to the limits, they could not wield such ability .

Though s.h.i.+n Jiao was able to learn the absolute sense, it is still just the tip of the iceberg as he still has a long way to go . But right now this is already enough for him to use in this impossible fight against a level 4 beast .

Whoos.h.!.+

A strong air current brushed through as the demon beast once again threw a barrage of attacks towards s.h.i.+n Jiao's direction . Though he was able to evade each of them, his body still received a lot of wounds from the sharp wind accompanying each of the beast's fists .

Peng! Peng!

Two sounds suddenly ricochet through the air as the figure of the beast suddenly staggered backward . It didn't know what happened but its eyes are now focused on an artifact on s.h.i.+n Jiao's hand . Now two holes can be seen, one on its arm which the demon beast used to block the bullet coming to its head and the other one is on its stomach .

"d.a.m.n it! I knew this thing can detect my killing intent . I need to focus on and erase my presence . " s.h.i.+n Jiao though as he backs away from the creature .

The people watching the fight are now having their eyes glowing . They saw what s.h.i.+n Jiao did, and now had a rough idea on how to use the artifact on s.h.i.+n Jiao's hand .

"Such an easy feat . If I can get that thing then I could use it too . "

"I won't let the others get their hands on that thing . If it can defeat the flood dragon, then even the elders can't touch me if I can obtain it . "

"That artifact is mine! Who would dare to contest me would surely die . "

These are the greedy thoughts of the people watching the fight . In this point in time, many of those young masters of the clan have already lost their trust in Wei Qi Nian because of his inability to lead them . Some of them have friends who were sent to the Safe Zone with grave injuries, in the surface, they are respectful to him but deep inside their hatred are starting to grow .

Right now in front of them is an artifact that would boost their strength many folds, so who would be stupid enough to fawn over a useless young master . As this world is ruled by the strong, so now everyone is after the growth of their own strength .

Meanwhile, s.h.i.+n Jiao is now thinking on how to deal with the flood dragon . He can already feel the pain and the stress on his body . Though he already grasps the ability of absolute sense, this didn't mean that he can overcome the huge gap in their strength .

"At best, I can fight this creature evenly . But it is not enough to defeat it . " s.h.i.+n Jiao thought .

If the people in his surroundings could hear his thought, they would spew mouthfuls of blood in resentment . If a mere mortal is equal to a level 4 demon beast then what would that make them?

While s.h.i.+n Jiao is deliberating, two figures suddenly appear beside him . It was Rat Ling and Zen Nian whose wounds have already healed . Looking at Rat Ling, s.h.i.+n Jiao had disbelief clearly written all over his face . He did not expect that the young man has an astonis.h.i.+ng healing speed .

If it were him receiving those severe wounds it would take him a week or more just to heal without the rapid hemostatic pill . But Rat Ling just used a couple of minutes, though he used regular healing pills it was still too fast .

"Brother s.h.i.+n, let us help you . " Rat Ling said feeling somewhat excited .

"If we three work together then we can defeat this demon beast . " Zen Nian chimed in as he takes out his sword .

The two has already sent those who two people blocking their way to the Safe Zone and immediately rushed towards s.h.i.+n Jiao's side to help him .

"Alright, but I have a plan . " s.h.i.+n Jiao said as he told them in a low voice .

While the three converse the demon beast watches them in vigilance . After it was hurt by s.h.i.+n Jiao's attack it already had its guard up against s.h.i.+n Jiao, it now knows that the mortal human is not to be trifled with as it could feel something dangerous about him .

Meanwhile, Wei Qi Nian also seems to be feeling that there is something wrong . The two he has sent to hold his younger brother and his servant are strong cultivators, but he saw them being defeated by his brother and his servant easily . So now he feels a sense of crisis and decided to immediately act to erase his future troubles .

With a signal from him, the servants and some of the young masters around him immediately moved and encircle the area . Though a small amount of those young masters of the clan didn't move and just stay put . They wanted to now see how capable Wei Qi Nian is in handling the situation .

Seeing this Wei Qi Nian didn't react, he knows what these people are thinking and he just swore to show them how vengeful he is later on .

After s.h.i.+n Jiao told them his plan, the two people with him nodded their heads . Then Rat Ling immediately without warning rush in to attack the beast . This action immediately startled the flood dragon and it instantly bared its fangs and claws . As it was provoked it also rushed towards Rat Ling . The flood dragon it is now afraid of s.h.i.+n Jiao, but his two companions is another thing . In the eyes of the demon beast's, the two are just paper tigers .

The first to arrive is Rat Ling as he immediately swings his sword towards the flood dragon's chest . A white sc.r.a.pe mark suddenly appears on the thick scales of the demon beast . While it also swings its claws towards Rat Ling's head, but the later just tilted his head to the side evading the sharp nails . Unlike s.h.i.+n Jiao who would get injured by its Qi wave, Rat Ling's body is covered with a thin film of Qi, his Qi field . So he would not be affected by the few sharp winds emitted by the flood dragon's strike . With that beginning, the two started to exchange multiple strikes .

While the two exchange blows, a figure suddenly appears beside the flood dragon . The demon beast immediately sensed this and quickly twisted its body, but then it felt a pang of pain and found a trace of blood appearing on its shoulder . Then it discovered a buzzing sound which entered its ears, this buzzing sound is like an ominous tone that tells its demise if it is not careful .

Zen Nian, on the other hand, was awestruck at the Humming blade technique he has successfully executed . The skill was just like what s.h.i.+n Jiao has said, it can really cut through almost anything . It even treated the Qi field of a level 4 beast like a paper as the Humming blade pa.s.s through it like nothing and also wounded the demon beast's thick scaled skin .

When Rat Ling saw this his heart is filled with respect and envy towards his young master . He also knows the skill but is unable to execute it properly as his concentration would always falter . But now that he saw the effect his heart was filled with determination to succeed .

As if having his own epiphany, Rat Ling immediately tried the Humming blade technique . All of a sudden the flood dragon heard another buzzing sound from the other human's sword .

Then as if with a tacit understanding Rat Ling and Zen Nian rushed forth and slashed their swords towards the mutated flood dragon, which madly evaded each of their strikes . Though the humming blade technique is able to wound the flood dragon however they are shallow wounds . It is still unable to penetrate deep in its strong muscles . However, this situation is enough to scare the demon beast .

While this is happening, s.h.i.+n Jiao applied a simple cloaking rune on himself and suddenly disappear . But no one actually noticed this as all of them were astonished at the battle between the person they all called trash and his lowly servant versus the dreaded flood dragon .

"How can this be? Does this mean that Zen Nian is better than us?"

"No, I must never fall short . He is just trash that I can casually bully . . . Well, looking at the struggling demon beast, I think the truth is that this flood dragon's strength is just so-so . "

"If I attack it now, then I may even kill it . "

As if the young masters and their servants who surrounded the area felt that their pride has been stepped on, they all actually unconsciously drew their weapons . When everyone saw each other's actions, a glint of craftiness entered their eyes and suddenly as if with the same mind rushed in to attack the flood dragon along with Zen Nian and Rat Ling .

Since they didn't know that Zen Nian and Rat Ling's are using a deadly skill, they thought that their sword or weapon skills are enough to kill the now wounded flood dragon and its two opponents . So they grab the opportunity to ambush both parties .

When Zen Nian and Rat Ling saw this despicable act, their eyes went wide in disbelief . Then panic can be seen in their faces, without another word the two quickly dashed away from the demon beast . In their escape, they sent a person who is directly blocking their path flying and turned into a silvery flash .

"Fools! Don't attack the flood dragon! Chase after those two!" Wei Qi Nian gnashed his teeth at the greediness and stupidity of the young people of his clan .

"All they have to do is wait for a moment after the flood dragon dies before attacking . Now we have lost our chance . " Wei Qi Nian muttered in anger .

"Brother, this is the law in our clan . The strong will always step on the weak . How can these people accept that little brother is stronger than they are now?" Ya Nian chuckled .

In her heart she too was truly astonished, her brother and his servants are truly amazing . She didn't know why but her gut feeling tells her that it was the mortal servant that made these things possible for her younger brother . But instead of envy, she felt happy for him .

The remaining servants along with their masters rushed in to attack the flood dragon . When it saw the many humans running in its direction, it felt confused . It didn't know the reason why the two who are giving it a hard time and was pus.h.i.+ng it in a disadvantage actually ran away . But this situation made the flood dragon heaves a sigh of relief . It feels helpless at the sharpness of the two's swords and their weird dodging techniques .

When its gaze turns to the group of people now encircling it with their weapons on hand, it felt that it now has a chance to vent its anger . With a glint of ferocity, the flood dragon suddenly seems to have gained a douse of energy as it began to rampage towards the people surrounding it .

A cultivator who is closer to the demon beast brandished his sword with an expression of pure greed clearly written all over his face . The young man made his sword glow red as he used his Qi to cover his sword with fire; this is a technique he had learned from the Nian clan library of skills .

The fiery sword slashed across the flood dragon's tough scales and a black line suddenly appears on the demon beast's chest . Seeing this, the other attacking the demon beast became happy as they noticed that the flood dragon seemed hurt by that sword strike . This boosts their hopes up in facing the flood dragon .

And then…

Boom!!!

A loud explosion hit the ground and a silver flash suddenly appear . This sudden change of situation made the now slowly closing in cultivators stupefied . The flood dragon's hand is now b.l.o.o.d.y, it means that even though the person was able to be teleported to the Safe Zone he still suffered some grievous injuries .

But before they would react, the flood dragon suddenly pounce at the nearest person and began bas.h.i.+ng him . They all saw that another silver light flashed but the fist of the flood dragon is now covered with more blood .

Then with a sniff, it suddenly felt a strong aroma and the long tongue of the demon beast slowly licked the blood on its hand . Then its eyes immediately turned red as a greedy expression appears on its face . If humans considered the demon core crystal very enticing and precious, for demon beasts the blood of a cultivator is the most delicious delicacy it could ever have .

The group of young people wanted to flee this area, but it was too late as the flood dragon found a way to obtain even a taste of the blood of the cultivators around him .

The shouts of pain and anguish suddenly pervaded the air as the cultivators were sent to the Safe zone while receiving fatal wounds . Now, none was left standing around the flood dragon as it started to lick the traces of blood on its hand like someone who has been starving for a long time .

The eyes of Wei Qi Nian are now filled with horror . In his greed to obtain the artifact that s.h.i.+n Jiao has, he actually just stayed in the area and waited for his opportunity . But now everything is too late, his escape would be impossible if he didn't move now .

So without a word, Wei Qi Nian decided to dash out of the lake area into the forest behind him .

While das.h.i.+ng away, he actually saw the expression of horror in his sister's eyes and a hint of cruelty appears in his eyes . He turned his hand and formed a palm strike, then suddenly a dark energy Qi appear on them . He then sent this energy towards Ya Nian who was still in shock .

When she saw her brother's action she immediately crossed her arms to protect her chest as the palm strike is going towards that direction .

When Wei Qi Nian's palm hit her arms, she suddenly felt some energy travels towards her back and a bad premonition a.s.saulted her senses . She wanted to fight back but Wei Qi Nian suddenly banished behind the grove of trees .

"What was that for? That… That stupid and crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Ya Nian cursed .

But their group didn't stay in the area as they are the only one left and they now noticed the flood dragon looking their way . The others still loyal to Wei Qi Nian didn't know that their master has already left, so they stood there vigilantly . While Ya Nian and her group also followed her brother and escaped .

Unknown to them in a large tree not too far ahead three figures are watching them . When they saw what happened a wide grin appear on their faces .
