Above all spirits

Chapter 43: Late Justice

Tiger continued, "Tsk tsk tsk, I'll leave some for the brothers after I've had my fill. The brothers who came with me today are in for a treat. Although it will all be handed over to Young Master Lin later, I suppose he'll just treat it as merchandise and won't hold it against me."

Does anyone here like this one?

After saying that, Tiger turned around and looked at the group of underlings behind him who were holding swords and knives.

Upon closer inspection, it's easy to see that every sword and blade is stained with blood, emitting a strong stench of blood.

"Yes, yes, yes! Boss, I'll be first in line!"

"Get lost! Where did you come from? Did you even ask me?"

"Fine, I'll fight you if you dare!"

"Who's ever been a coward!"

"Hahaha."

There was another burst of laughter.

The woman bit her lip tightly, and a few drops of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the band of robbers who had invaded the village, burning, killing, and looting, he felt slightly dizzy.

Even so, a glimmer of light still lingered in her eyes.

"Where is my husband? What have you done to him?"

"How about it?"

Tiger looked at the beautiful woman who was tense and holding a knife to him, licked his lips, and grinned wickedly.

"We didn't leave a single man alive in this village, but we don't know which one is your husband?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's emotions changed drastically. The glimmer of light in her eyes faded, and she staggered back a few steps.

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Teng's eyes.

He immediately seized the opportunity and rushed towards the woman.

He stared at the woman's knife-wielding hand and kicked her sideways.

"Clap."

As expected, the knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

For a woman who isn't even a cultivator, it was a piece of cake; the outcome was already decided.

Immediately, two henchmen behind Tiger rushed over and grabbed the woman's arms with a frighteningly practiced skill.

Tiger pulled up his pants and slowly approached, reaching out to pat the woman's somewhat pale face.

He then lifted the woman's chin; although her hair was disheveled, it still couldn't hide her delicate features.

Tiger Brother revealed a playful smile.

"You're quite good. I suggest you behave and listen to me; you'll suffer less. If you serve me well, maybe I can even mention it to Young Master Lin and get you a better position..."

"Pooh!"

Before Tiger could finish speaking, the woman spat disdainfully at Tiger's stubble-covered face.

"dream!"

She was not a weak woman, even though she could easily foresee her tragic end.

But we will not bow down to these heinous criminals.

"very good."

He vigorously wiped the dirt off his face.

Tiger's eyes turned cold.

The two henchmen supporting the woman couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Teng shook his head, looking at the back of the burly man with bulging veins, seemingly already knowing what was going to happen next: Tiger was angry.

He did not want to linger there and watch the game.

Stepping out of the wooden door he had broken, he was met with a horrifying scene of corpses strewn across the ground, blood everywhere. Unsurprisingly, a piercing scream echoed from behind him.

The henchmen coming and going seemed unconcerned about this hellish scene.

Some were cleaning up their spoils, some were curiously peering into the house, and some were dragging ragged female villagers into huge wooden carts.

Tiger said that these women need to be secretly handed over to a high-ranking official in Lanyu City.

Tiger called him Young Master Lin.

This is also why the Sand Tiger Gang has been able to run rampant to this day.

However, he had no interest in these things. He relied solely on the resources of the Sand Tiger Gang. Once he broke through to the third level of the mortal body, he would not stay in the Sand Tiger Gang as mentioned earlier, but would instead go to the city to seek better opportunities.

Because the resources required for the fourth level of the Overlord Body are not something that a small gang can provide.

……

"Shh!"

A black figure appeared out of thin air, supported by golden currents, and landed steadily.

It only stirred up a few fallen leaves on the ground.

The little dark figure peeked out and looked around.

"So this is the human realm below. It seems the birth point is not bad, located around the foot of a small mountain."

Gu Yun nodded.

"Indeed, it wasn't over some vast ocean."

"Fortunately, we went to the other side first. I didn't expect the efficiency to be so low. Even with such a favorable environment, we only converted less than half of the soul crystals."

"However, as my soul level has increased, I've been staying for much longer. This time, I estimate I've stayed for nearly 15 hours."

Gu Yun clenched his fist and felt the power that was currently sealed within him. To be honest, in terms of pure physical strength, it hadn't been suppressed much.

However, there's still a vague feeling that I can't use my full strength.

At the same time, the power he could use was suppressed to the ninth level of the Holy Body. For example, magic power, which transcended innate power, was firmly sealed in Gu Yun's body.

However, it can still function normally, and in doing so, it gradually advances its body towards a demonic form.

This relieved Gu Yun.

After all, he would be spending a considerable amount of time in the lower realm, and if he couldn't cultivate, his growth might fall far behind expectations.

The little dark figure reached out a small hand and patted Gu Yun's head.

"Something feels off. Can you smell something strange?"

Gu Yun took a deep breath and thought for a moment.

"It smells of blood, but it's a faint scent. It seems to have just arrived. Let's go check it out."

There are very few beings in the lower realms that can threaten Gu Yun, especially in the human realm.

Gu Yun did not, as usual, first make his form invisible and then use his powers: there was no need to sneak there.

But as Gu Yun continued toward the source of the bloody smell, he frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

The smell of blood was so strong that even Gu Yun, a half-demon, felt uncomfortable.

How many people have died?

Is the human world in such chaos?

Gradually, Gu Yun followed the scent of blood out of the dense forest and looked down into the distance, where a village came into view.

This village lacks the cheerful banter and laughter of villagers, the billowing smoke from fires, and the joyful sounds of children playing.

There were only piles of male corpses, scenes of grotesque primitive movements, and images of ragged women locked in a huge wooden cage.

Each of them had lifeless eyes, devoid of vitality, as if they were just walking corpses.

The little black figure stared blankly at the scene before it.

"Holy crap, is this heaven or hell? It feels like I'm home."

Honestly, there aren't many scenes this exciting even in the Demon Realm.

"Hey bro, another stupid villager's here, just standing there motionless, probably scared out of his wits, hahaha, too bad it's a guy."

"Judging from his attire, he doesn't seem to be a villager. Only city dwellers would have that kind of fabric, right?"

"Alright, stop worrying about that. Anyone who sees this will die. Let's get this over with quickly, burn this place down, and then go back to the village to sleep."

"You're too weak, you can't even handle a few?"

"Screw you."

Two men, dressed in plain clothes and carrying long swords, walked towards Gu Yun, chatting and laughing.

It seems that Gu Yun's fate has already been decided.

One of the men patted the other on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I'll do it. You just need to carry the body in a bit."

After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed fiercely at Gu Yun.

Perhaps it was because Gu Yun remained motionless.

The sword fell unsurprisingly towards Gu Yun's neck.

"Kid, hope you're luckier in your next life and don't run into me again. I'm just a legend."

The man grinned slyly, and in his eyes, Gu Yun seemed like a headless corpse.

"Ping——!"

The ear-piercing collision sound gradually spread and echoed in the surrounding area.

"Ah?"

The man looked at the half-sword in the air.

My thoughts are a bit scattered.

The script doesn't seem to be written the way he expected.

Is this sword a prop?!

So crispy?
