75 THE HUNT BEGINS PART 2

While in a small residence.  The residence was well built while in the inner area a maid was pouring some wine in a cup. She was holding a porcelain bottle pouring the booze in the cup. While the man whose cup she was pouring into seemed very nervous his hands were shaking. While suddenly a small amount of liquor spilled out of the cup on the robe of the man.

" What the hell are you doing. " said the man with an angry tone. The man shouted the woman suddenly backed off and the porcelain bottle fell on the ground with a splash all around the floor.

The man moved and grabbed the woman from her hair and picked her up like a child picking up a toy.

" This happened one more time and you are done. " The man said and the woman's face got paler with every second but strange thing was her expression remained the same. The man threw her towards the wall with a flick of his wrist.

She crashed directly into the wall while a trickle of blood streamed from her lips. But she didn't retaliate or anything she just nursed her shoulder a few times which impacted the wall and left the room.

" Filthy trash these slaves are too useless " The man removed his robe which was stained.

" But what was that feeling that something changed in the Kid? , What am I even thinking, he is already dead. '' mumbled the man. He was standing bare-chested while a pondering expression on his face. This man was Head Hunter and he still couldn't get over that feeling. The young lifeless eyes showed some kind of threat.

" I am just thinking too much. " mumbled the Head Hunter.

" Bring another bottle," he shouted.

After some time the same woman came with an expressionless face. She was limping a little bit. While her expression remained the same.

"Give it to me " The man grabbed the bottle while drinking it whole in one go. He looked towards the woman.

" Get lost," said Head Hunter with a cold tone. While he moves towards his bed to get some sleep.

But suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps from the corridor.

" Milord Wu Ji has come personally to meet you. " said a servant who stood at the door on his knees. He also had an expressionless face.

" huh!!" Head Hunter was astonished hearing the servant.

' Why would he come here personally. ' thought the Head Hunter while raising his guard.

" No need I am already here you can go back " Wu Ji's voice came from the corridor. While a man in a black cloak followed him. The servant and the woman left the room leaving Head Hunter alone.

" Boss, why are you here if it was about the payment? I could have come myself," replied Head Hunter with a sheepish tone.

" No, It's me who wanted to meet you. " The man in the black cloak spoke up. The voice was very creepy the atmosphere suddenly became more chilling.

" Who are you," said Head Hunter, he felt a chill run down his back hearing such a creepy voice.  Before Head Hunter could speak more. Bai Jie moved and punched his dantian.

Head Hunter was sent flying and crashed into the wall coughing blood.

" It didn't break so brute strength didn't collapse it in Wu Ji. " Bai Jie mumbled. He was very intrigued by this collapse of Dantian in Wu Ji so Bai Jie wanted to try himself if the Dantian region could be collapsed using brute strength.

Ding pattern recorded.

" huh!! " Bai Jie suddenly heard a notification. He looked towards the Head Hunter closely even though there was no movement in the Dantian region but the spirit energy in his whole body was going haywire.

' Is it because I attacked him. ' thought Bai Jie. But he didn't dwell on it much. Because it was considered to be an automatic response from a cultivator.

" Boss what is this. " Head Hunter shouted with a furious tone. He couldn't understand why Boss Wu Ji would do something like this.

" Shut up. " Bai Jie moved fast, his body strength was more than enough and knocked out Head Hunter who was half-kneeling on the ground

Head Hunter's body lay down on the floor unconscious.

" Boss what are going to do, " Wu Ji asked. He thought that Bai Jie was just going to kill them.

" Of course it is experimentation. How will I find such high-quality specimens for testing? you go out to isolate the area. There could be quite a noise here and stand outside the door," said Bai Jie. While he was staring at the Head Hunter. He wanted to experiment on his body if he could forcefully transfer the symbols inside his body into him.

" What are you waiting for, " Bai Jie shouted. Wu Ji hurriedly left the room. For a cultivator suppression for sound was very easy but it only worked on mortals though a higher stage cultivator could still hear it easily.

"Let's begin. " Bai Jie tried to focus a small amount of spirit energy on his fingertip making it sharper.

Bai Jie tried to cut open Head Hunter's meridian. The spirit energy started leaking from his cut meridian.

Generally, a cultivator would stop the spirit energy from going through his damaged meridian but the Head hunter was unconscious his spirit energy followed his general pattern and continued leaking.

"The first phase is complete," mumbled Bai Jie.

Bai Jie put his hand on the leaking spirit energy. He tried to absorb this spirit energy in his body using parasite cells and move them towards the symbols in his body.

As Bai Jie expected, the symbols started shining a little. They absorbed spirit energy and started moving towards the source following the stream.

Bai Jie could feel those symbols moving from his chest area into his arms and towards his hand.

With Bai Jie's perfect control he guided the symbols towards his fingertip trying to move them inside Head Hunter.

' hahahaha it's working. ' Bai Jie felt happiness rose in his heart. He saw a few symbols leaving his body and entering Head Hunter's body. These symbols were troubling his further advancement in his cultivation; he had already compiled the 5th stage pattern for his dual meridians but he couldn't activate his cultivation technique and he had to again rely on his parasite cells to store and use spirit energy.

While Bai Jie noticed the same thing happening in the Head hunter's body that happened to him. The spirit energy started running through the blood vessels and moved towards his spine.

But then…..

The body suddenly started twitching Bai Jie moved away suddenly his danger sense was tingling.

Bai Jie saw the spirit energy inside the Head Hunter's body was completely drained and he also looked a lot paler due to a large amount of blood loss. Due to the low amount of spirit energy in Head Hunter's body, the flow of the transfer of symbols stopped. So Bai Jie still had most of the symbol marks inside his own body.

But in his parasite vision, it was a completely different story.

He saw a large amount of life energy erupt from Head Hunter's body and his muscles were twitching and inflating. While he suddenly opened his eyes.

" WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? " roared the Head Hunter. His facials were twitching while the veins on his body were throbbing. He was feeling a great pain assaulting his body.

Bai Jie felt he could even hear the heartbeat like a drum ringing from the Head Hunter.

BA THUMP THUMP, BA THUMP...…..

Bai Jie suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from Head Hunter.

" This. " Bai Jie was even more shocked that his parasite cells in his body were going erratic. Like they didn't want to stay in that terrifying presence.

Bai Jie saw a fist coming his way this was very fast. Bai Jie tilted his head sideways to dodge but another fist was coming right to where he moved. It wasn't that the Head Hunter was faster than him but the Head Hunter had predicted the response Bai Jie would have and attacked at the same time.

This was the edge someone has who had the experience of a hundred battles. But Bai Jie was just a scientist, not a fighter but he was far faster than the Head Hunter. Bai Jie raised his fist to defend against the incoming attack.

Head Hunter's fist collided with Bai Jie's raised arm. Bai Jie backed away a few steps his arm wasn't damaged but an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

Bai Jie understood what this meant. If considering that the Head Hunter was only a 2nd mortal stage he should only have a strength of 2 or 3 bia at most while Bai Jie possessed a strength of more than 20 bia in his body alone the difference was almost ten times.

He could feel the tingling sensation in his arms. Bai Jie never expected an outcome like this that the Head Hunter would suddenly erupt with such strength.

' These symbols, what they are. ' Bai Jie was assured of one thing that at least these symbols aren't a slave seal like he had thought. But rather giving him the relief he felt even more urgency to get rid of these. He saw the Head Hunter's muscles ripping apart blood coming out like sweat rolling down his body. He was like a crazed beast who had completely lost control over his body.
