The four warriors from the Mo’s Family, who followed her out of the thick forest , were filled with a heavy look on their face.
On the ground, lies Master Karu’s corpse which was still warm. However, the corpse had already been deprived of all Profound Qi, as dry as a mummy.
Looking at the scene, all four warriors stood by Mo Yan Yu’s side with terror in their eyes. One of them came up to Mo Yan Yu with some hesitation, and said “Miss Mo…”
Mo Yan Yu was apparently trembling. After a while, she replied with a frown, “Stop the chasing.”
“But Miss…” The warrior wanted to add something.
“Master Karu had already achieved the Second Sky stage for a Nascent-Level Warrior, the same level as me. Moreover, he had far more fighting experience than me.” Mo Yan Yu shook her head with a hopeless look, “I don’t know how he killed Master Karu. But, this means that he is capable of killing any of us right now. If we keep chasing him, we probably won’t even be able to make it back to the Merchandise Union.”
“So we just let him go like this? Miss Mo, we have spent a lot of money in order to get Master Karu to work for us!” That warrior said in a low voice.
“So Li Tian, if we don’t give up, can you come up with a better idea?”
That warrior suddenly went silent.
Mo Yan Yu kneeled down beside the cold corpse of Master Karu. She searched through his body and cursed in a low voice, “Shit! That bastard has taken everything from Master Karu, all the medicine and medical books. This time we are literally here for nothing.”
All the other four warriors went silent together; they didn’t dare to say anything.
“Go back to Johnson! From now on, we must act in groups. No individual movement is allowed!” Mo Yan Yu took a deep breath. Then, she stood up and turned back to the way they came. At the moment, she was hating Shi Yan to his guts.
…
On the other side, Shi Yan was still running for his life in the dark forest.
The bloodthirst was still running wildly inside his body. It’s devouring his consciousness bit by bit . The negative energy of madness, brutality and bloodthirst was invading his mind uncontrollably. Gradually, his sight blacked out and his body felt to be on the verge of breakdown from the wild energy.
At that moment, he was extremely weak and tired. He couldn’t gather any strength in his arms or legs. He must avoid any fight with anyone. Otherwise, he would be dead for sure.
Shi Yan wasn’t sure how long he could hold on. He never expected his body to react in such a strange way, so he had made no contingency plan.
“Boom!”
The wild bloodthirst inside his mind finally exploded. Shi Yan was panting heavily as he totally lost his sight . There was only one voice in his head, whispering, repeating the same word, “Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Shi Yan knew that before long, he would have lost all his sanity, and become a mindless bloodthirsty beast. He would only know nothing but to kill.
…
A beautiful music suddenly flew into Shi Yan’s ears from the distance. The music was like water drops falling on a jade plate, like the wind shuttling through the silk curtain. It was as soft as a bird flapping its wings, as light as the gentle streams flowing through the quiet forest. The music was so beautiful, so peaceful, as if it flew down right from the Heaven.
The beautiful music was like a soft hand soothing his heart. It had taken away all his bloody and crazy desire. Slowly, it also helped Shi Yan to regain his sanity, which was on the brink of breakdown.
Thanks to that soft and soothing music, Shi Yan gradually regained his sanity right before he lost his mind . He slowly walked towards the direction of that music with an intoxicated look on his face. He felt like his whole body was soaking in that beautiful music, and all his bloodlust inside his body had totally disappeared.
In a small valley full of unique flowers and special plants, Shi Yan saw a beautiful figure playing the zither. She was just sitting cross-legged right in the middle of the flowers. She slightly lowered her head and was completely putting herself into the music, without even aware of Shi Yan’s presence.
Shi Yan moved closer and closer, and stopped around 100 meters away from her back. He stood there and flabbergasted with the beautiful figure in front of him. Then, he stood there, with closed eyes, trying to immerse himself in that beautiful sound of zither.
After a while, that sound of zither gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.
Shi Yan felt awakened from a nice dream. He found that all anger and bloodlust were completely gone, as if they had never existed !
However, his body still felt heavy. The intense pain in his chest was especially killing him. It seemed that he was still suffering from that fatal blow from Master Karu. Shi Yan concentrated his attention and could feel the flowing Profound Qi within his Meridans. He could sense that his body was still processing the Profound Qi that he had absorbed from Master Karu.
That beautiful figure at distance slowly turned around with an ancient zither in her hands. She slightly frowned and looked straight at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan couldn’t help but tremble. His eyes were staring at the beautiful girl in front of him unceasingly. “So beautiful!”, He unconsciously blurted out.
That girl was around 18 or 19 years old, dressed in a white overskirt. Her eyes were sparkling, her teeth was gleaming, her skin was soft and smooth, and her figure was delicate and slim. She could be described as a beautiful goddess from the Heaven, but at the same time, also as the cute girl that lived next door. She was so perfect. Shi Yan couldn’t tell who was more beautiful, Mo Yan Yu or the girl in front of him.
That lovely girl just gave a single glance at Shi Yan. She then turned around in silence and walked slowly towards the little creek hundreds of meters away with the zither in her hands.
Shi Yan couldn’t help admiring the beautiful women in this world. Overall, he had only met two women in this world, but they were both so breathtaking, like one in a million.
“Miss! Thanks a lot for your beautiful music. Can I …” Seeing the girl was walking away from him, Shi Yan couldn’t help but shouted.
“Hey , stop it! Enough is enough.”
Suddenly, a strong figure jumped from the giant ancient tree in front of Shi Yan. This was a middle-aged man with a hairy yellow face . He was wearing a taupe warrior’s outfit. He looked very tall and strong with a huge sword on his shoulder. But he didn’t look very serious, just standing in front of Shi Yan, looking at him with a weird smile on his face.
No doubt, Shi Yan was caught out of surprise. He instantly put on some alert. Just by looking at him, he could clearly sense a terrifying energy from this yellow-faced man in front of him.
It didn’t take him long to understand that this yellow-faced man was definitely a warrior way above his level. The yellow-faced man was just looking at him, not intentionally releasing any energy to pressure him at all, but Shi Yan already felt like he was as untouchable as a steady mountain.
Shi Yan took a step back, showing that he didn’t come with any evil thoughts. Then he faked a smile and said, “The music that beautiful miss played was so enchanting. I just can’t get enough . I stayed just to listen to more of her music, nothing else. Don’t worry.”
To Shi Yan, this girl had the most magical music skills. Her beautiful music could apparently help him control the bloody desire within his mind. Shi Yan was not sure when this craving for blood inside of him would come back again. Therefore, he was desperate to find something to help him control this ugly desire inside him body.
“I can tell that you are just a lustful guy, nothing else. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you live until now.” The yellow-faced man laughed, and said in a relaxed mood, “But here is not the place for you to get lustful. I suggest you’d better get the hell away from us. Otherwise you would be in a lot of trouble.”
“OK, as you wish.” Shi Yan lifted both hands to show cooperation. He didn’t stay any longer. However, he took a glance at that beautiful figure in distance before turning around and left.
…
“Uncle Luo, I sensed a strong evil spirit on that man. Back then his whole body was filled with killing desire and almost went berserk. However,after his bloodlust faded away, he dared to take such a … lustful look on me. I guess he shouldn’t belong to the Dark World.” Mu Yu Die said with a mild discomfort when she recalled Shi Yan’s lustful look on her.
That man… it seemed that he could never hide his desire from within.
Although there were other men who also wanted her, they would at least do it in secret or cover up their desires when they laid eyes on her. They wouldn’t expose their dirty thoughts inside their mind out to the world. However, that guy… he didn’t even try to cover up his lust for her in his eyes . What she saw in his eyes was a simple and straight-forward desire.
“He can’t be from the Dark World. The assassins sent by the Dark World were all Warriors of the Nascent Level, but that guy was still an Elementary-Level Warrior.” Luo Hao laughed and said, “But interesting though, that guy was not even a Nascent-Level Warrior, but dare to dream out our beautiful princess who has already achieved the Third Sky. This guy has some balls. Haha!”
“Ah, I am still not sure when I could recover. Currently, I am powerless.” Mu Yu Die slightly sighed with her heart filled with sorrow, “Uncle Luo, if the assassins did come and you couldn’t defeat them, please just leave me behind. I…can rely on my own.”
“What is that nonsense?!” Hearing this, Luo Hao was apparently not very happy. He said with a firm voice, “We are not far away from the Merchandise Union right now. If we can survive the next few weeks and one month at most, we could definitely get out of this Dark Forest. Once we reached the Merchandise Union, the Dark World couldn’t do anything to hurt us.”
“Gu! Gu!”
With some strange whistle from the distance, not before long, two man and one woman who dressed like Mercenaries came out of the forest with a heavy look. The leader came up to Luo Hao and said, “Sorry, Uncle Luo, we couldn’t keep up with the trackers from the Dark World.”
Luo Hao nodded, and said with a frown, “We must set out right now, and choose a new location for rest. Otherwise, the assassins from the Dark World will soon find and surround us.”
The five of them did not stay for long. They quickly packed their stuff and left in a hurry.
…
Right after Shi Yan left that girl, the craving for blood slowly rose up in his mind again.
This unstoppable desire for blood may have something to do with the Profound Qi that Shi Yan got from Master Karu. Because Master Karu had the power of a Nascent-Level Warrior, his Profound Qi was mixed with too much negative energy. Therefore, it would take Shi Yan much more time and efforts to purify his Profound Qi. While his Meridans were processing Master Karu’s Profound Qi, these annoying negative energy would spill over from time to time and ignite his crazy desire for blood from inside of his body.
But that girl’s music could help him control those wild desires, so that he didn’t lose his sanity and fell into the abyss of craziness and chaos back then. However, his Meridans were still working on purifying Master Karu’s Profound Qi. Until this process was completed, there was a pretty good chance that Shi Yan would fall into that bloody craziness again.
Before his body finished the purification of Master Karu’s Profound Qi, that beautiful girl could definitely be his cure to stay sane.
Knowing that another wave of bloody urge was slowly creeping up on him, Shi Yan was overwhelmed by a bad feeling. After some hesitation, he still started walking towards that girl’s direction.
Only the beautiful music of that girl could help him to calm down. And only by following her steps, could Shi Yan get the chance to hear that Heaven-like sound again.
