God Of Slaughter - Chapter 16

Treasure

Beside the small gentle stream, the ground dragon was drinking water quietly, whose robust body was covered with scales.

Mo Yanyu was sitting upright in a sedan high on the ground dragon and playing a blue smoke bomb in her hand, lost in thought.

Recently, she was very much haunted by Shi Yan. Once she remembers that cold decisiveness in Shi Yan’s eyes, she couldn’t rest in peace. How she wished she could catch him and ruin his veins and bones.

Given Karu’s death, she had already released the medicine slaves who were now of no use.

With her were eleven warriors from the Mo Family who were only at Elementary Level. Their power was insufficient in helping Mo Yan Yu to search for Shi Yan. As such, she could only wait for the relief troops from the family.
All of a sudden, a pale blue light shot up across the sky some five miles ahead.

“They have arrived!” Mo Yan Yu’s spirit rose. She immediately threw the blue smoke bomb up into the sky, and thus the same pale blue light was seen above her.

The warriors around the ground dragon were in a lively outburst of happiness as they were getting ready for a sound fight.

In less than a quarter of an hour, three dark shadows showed up afar and flew in their direction. The first of them had a graceful beard and wore an indifferent smile. He approached near Mo Yan Yu and laughed loudly: “Yu, where is Master Karu?”

“Third uncle, Master Karu is dead.” Mo Yan Yu explained in a very unwilling manner, “We met a thief mid- way. He was only ranked Elementary, but still he was able to kill Master Karu. I just can’t figure it out.”

Mo Chaoge’s smile disappeared at once and his face turned pale: “Got the thing on Karu?”

Mo Yan Yu shook her head: “It was taken by that thief.”

“Stupid!”

Mo Chaoge cursed in a low voice. With a cold face, he observed: “We received information that Karu had stolen an incomplete picture of “Gate of Heaven” from his teacher. His teacher Mu Xun is looking for him everywhere for that incomplete picture. It is said, in the “God Area”, where the Gate of Heaven leads to, were martial skills of Spirit and even Sacred level! I came here in a hurry with two escorts just for that incomplete picture! But you let him die! How stupid!”

“What!” Mo Yan Yu was shocked, “How could that be!”

“Why would Karu leave the Medicine Valley with you if he hadn’t stolen that valuable picture from his teacher? You think he was attracted by the wealth of Mo Family? Humph. He was attempting to get a shelter in the Merchant Union, so that his teacher Mu Xun couldn’t kill him. ”

Mo Chaoge thought for a second seriously and reproached, “ Tell me the details. That man must be still in the dark forest. We have to find him! The picture matters a lot. We, the Mo Family, have to get it! ”

Mo Yan Yu started to realize how bad the situation was. She thus told him all the details, except that she was soiled by Shi Yan twice.

“Dumbass!” Mo Chaoge scolded again. He flew into a rage.: “You didn’t keep tracking him? That bastard is only ranked Elementary! No matter how he killed Karu, he must have paid a lot. He might have been hurt too. Chase him and you could have killed him easily! Too dumb!”

“I was afraid that we would lose more, so…”Mo Yan Yu lowered her head in shame.

“An Elementary guy, and you are afraid of him?”Mo Chaoge got annoyed, “You wasted so much resources of our Mo Family! What are you doing now? Show me the way! You! You! You! Bring the ground dragon back to the Merchant Union through the secure route. Others! Follow me and search!”

……
They looked for Shi Yan for two days but still got nothing.

Under the moonlight, Shi Yan was leaning against an ancient tree and in deep thought. He had decided to stop the chasing for the time being.

He took off Karu’s bag from his back and opened it to look into the contents.

Inside the bag were a volume of poison book, several bottles of poison refined by Karu, and two books about two martial skills of grade Mortal ---- “Dark Light Shield” and “Black Formula”.

Apart from those things, there was one dark yellow incomplete picture, on which were painted two hills. Shi Yan studied it for two days but found out nothing. So he didn’t take it seriously.

Of the two martial skills, to train “Black Formula” required a collection of “Black Qi” first. Thinking hard for two days, Shi Yan didn’t come up with any idea of where he could find the “Black Qi”, and so he soon forgot about it.

Fortunately, to train in the other martial skill “Dark Light Shield” didn’t require anything special. One simply needed to operate his Profound Qi according to the meridian map.

Thus Shi Yan took out the book of “Dark Light Shield” from the bag and started to train in it. He was determined to train in that skill and thus made every effort in remembering the mnemonics of the skill.

“Dark Light Shield” was a defensive martial skill. It used Profound Qi to form a layer of dark light around one’s body, in order to defend enemy’s assault. It was just a Mortal martial skill and needed no requirements but one--- flow of profound Qi.

Shi Yan packed the bag and observed the surroundings for a while. Assured that it was safe, he quietly climbed up a tree behind him, hid himself in the thickets, and started to train in “Dark Light Shield”.

After reaching level Nascent, his veins were as smooth as silk. Once he thought of moving his Profound Qi, it would immediately flow into the veins.

Sitting in meditation, Shi Yan operated his Profound Qi quietly and trained according to the meridian’s map for “Dark Light Shield”.

The Profound Qi flew in his body like a gentle stream, and in a controlled manner. At once, Shi Yan speeded up circulating the Profound Qi.

“Pump!”

Suddenly a hazy black light started emitting from Shi Yan; it gradually started forming a layer on his whole body. T
Shi Yan was quite sure that he was training in the correct way, so he once again accelerated the Profound Qi.

The black light emitting his body began to grow in intensity. At first it was only half a metre, then it formed a one metre layer, exactly the same as Karu’s.

A long time passed. Shi Yan exhaled a mixed breath and opened his eyes leisurely. The profound Qi in him had already finished six big circulations.

Succeeded!

Shi Yan smiled. He found that it was very easy to train in the black light shield.

In merely one night, he had grasped the essential part of this martial skill. With his Profound Qi growing, he only needed to accelerate its circulation and its power of defence would increase greatly.

Up in the sky. The moon had disappeared. Dawn was coming near.

Shi Yan was not in a hurry to leave. He calmed his mind and tried to operate the Profound Qi for a second time. The Profound Qi flew toward the left arm; once it arrived at the first meridan, Shi Yan came up with another thought; the Profound Qi promptly started rotating in that meridan.

After three breaths, Shi Yan changed his idea again. Immediately, the Profound Qi flew backward, for which he got a splitting pain in that vein!

It’s an exclusive phenomenon while training Rampage.

Enduring the pain in his arm, Shi Yan continued to circulate the Profound Qi. He tried again as he did to his right arm.

The muscles on the left arm began to contract, and slowly, it became dry and thin. Thin air was coming out of his left arm......

In the white fog were mixed negative moods such as fear, cruelty and despair, which had the weird power of befogging people’s minds. The negative moods sourced from the meridians in the left arm and were temporarily bounded in the fog. Once he fought with others, they would leak out of the arm directly.

The sun was hanging high in the sky.

Shi Yan was sweating all over while fully concentrating on his left arm. His left arm was covered with heavy fog which was sending out a putrid smell. Shi Yan was then filled with a desire of murder.


“Hooo, hooo...”

Shi Yan was trying very hard to control his desire. He withdrew the Profound Qi in the arm little by little, into his abdomen. Therefore that arm gradually went back to normal, and the white fog around it began to drift back into his meridans through veins, till none of it left around the arm.

Shi Yan leaned against the tree trunk with a deadly pale face. Exhausted, he was drowned in mixed feelings.

This martial skill Rampage was able to induce all the negative power in his meridans, though the negative power would also disturb his mind. That martial skill was a double-edged sword, which would, in a battle, make him lose his mind. It did bring a warrior enormous power, but it was at the same time very dangerous.

Nevertheless, Shi Yan remembered the when Rampage broke Karu’s black light shield, and the odd state of Karu when his brain was intruded by negative power. Shi Yan thus made up his mind to train this vicious martial skill with his whole body. He wanted to know what would happen to his body when all the negative power within his all meridans was induced.

He had this vague thought that as long as he finished training the first sky of Rampage, his body would have a major shift,and that his ability would surge by two times.

“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!” There came a sound of someone approaching from afar.

Shi Yan frowned, and slowed his breathing. He then started observing his surroundings.

Not before long, seven shadows, each of whom wearing a grey gown and a pale mask, stopped under that ancient tree, seeming to be waiting for something.

On the shoulders of six of those seven men, were signs of silver stars, while on the last one’s shoulder, was a sign of silver crescent.

“Wooon! Woon!”, a weird sound wave came from the grove ahead, sounding like a communication signal.

Under the ancient tree, that thin tall man with the crescent on his shoulder had a cold look in his eyes. He listened to the surrounding for five seconds and remarked: “According to the secret message, they have been spotted in a valley twenty miles away. Now chase them after me!”

The troop of seven people passed rapidly.

Ten seconds after they left, Shi Yan stuck his head out of the leaves. After thinking for a while, he jumped down the tree and followed after them secretly.
