Chapter 666
(Unedited)
…
Bam! Crash!
The small wooden gate was shattered into bits and pieces with just one kick from that man. Those who saw this did not utter some words as they knew these few guys. They are the bully of the village. It seems that these people who banded together are not your ordinary peasant immortal. They are actually very strong. Their leader, the tall and burly man was even rumored to have defeated a shadow fox single-handedly.
Although shadow foxes are small, yet no one dares face it one on one. This is because of its speed and sharp claws that could easily tear their bodies apart.
As the group walked leisurely inside the house, a tall figure also came out of the bungalow.
Shin Jiao looks at the five people with gardening tools in their hands and a sneer on their faces.
"Those who could come in this place are the ones with many good karmas or/and has cultivated to such length that their bodies have reached the true nascent realm stage. I'm guessing that you are the former. Though rotten and has bad karma, yet you've reached the minimum criteria." Shin Jiao casually said while still mixing something in a wooden pot in his hands.
"Haha… You are a very funny young man. Just a pup and you dare say those words to us. We are here to take your stuff, so what?! This is the Pheasant village and we are the rulers of this village. I suggest you give up everything including this beautiful house." the tall and burly handsome man said while waving a long stick in his hand.
"Oh… but this house is not mine. This is Frances Jill's house… Do you think when he came back and claim this place again you will be spared by him?"
Upon hearing Shin Jiao's words, the few of the men behind the burly man suddenly had their expression change. Frances Jill has just served a clan member and a very powerful one at that. If they dare offend him then it would be trouble for them.
"Fool… Frances has already been accepted. He will never go back to this village again… Hahaha…" the burly man suddenly laughed.
Hearing this, the rest of the onlookers outside gasped in disbelief.
What does it mean to be accepted, this means that Frances has a chance to learn the skill of how to absorb the universal energy. And from then on he would become a powerful immortal. How could they not envy him?
However, those who heard this also showed pity for the young man who is staying in Frances's house. They knew that he would not have a choice but to relinquish the house to these five bullies.
"Oh… that's a pity. But, I still will not give you the house." Shin Jiao said while giving the five a mysterious smile.
"I will just warn you though. I am not easy to bully. Those who offend me would suffer." Shin Jiao said with a grin.
The five people sneer at him. Who are they? They are talented individuals in their own worlds. They have overcome hardship and attain the true body of a nascent realm expert, and have ruled with dominance with their respected strength. How could they just give in to this fellow?
"Get him! But don't kill him immediately. We will let him suffer a fate worse than death… Hehehe…"
The onlookers just shook their heads and did not react. Though everyone is working with a tacit understanding in this place, they also knew that the difference between them and these 5's strength is huge. Once, someone tried to fight back and until now, that person didn't dare to come out of his house. These five even did something outrageous as to assault a woman.
Luckily that woman was fast and the protectors have already warned them that s.e.x.u.a.l assault would lead them to not be chosen. Hence that woman did not suffer too much humiliation.
However, these things still caused trauma to the people in the village.
And now they are doing it again.
Shin Jiao who saw these people suddenly rushing towards him showed a faint smile on his face. Then suddenly, he held the bowl in his hand and suddenly splashed the contents of it towards those men.
Being splash with water made those people a bit taken aback. But then they quickly recover and immediately pounce towards Shin Jiao.
With a quick movement of his body, Shin Jiao jumps to the side and dodges the strike from those gardening tools. He didn't take out his weapon inside the house and just nimbly dodges the strike from the five people.
"Get him! This little monkey is very fast… If I catch you I will peel your flesh and expose your bones!" shouted the burly man.
The five attacked with all their might, but could not catch Shin Jiao as he nimbly dodges from side to side and like an agile monkey, runs around the place.
Soon the five people suddenly discover something weird. And that is their movements are becoming sluggish and their body a bit heavy.
"What… what is happening?" said the burly young man as he found himself slowly unable to move.
Shin Jiao who noticed this calmly walks towards a wooden seat on the side of a shack where he stores dried herbs.
"Very nice… Around 2 minutes before its effect could be felt… alright, noted." He muttered upon observing the group of men.
He then watches as slowly that liquid which was splashed on these people slowly turned black, like sludge. Then he saw the five's movements becoming stiff.
Shin Jiao did not bother to do anything and just observe, while the rest of the onlookers are looking at this scene in horror and curiosity.
Suddenly someone from the crowd exclaimed.
"He… he is… he is an alchemist! He is an alchemist! This is… how could this be? How could an alchemist reach the immortal land with their weak physique? If they immediately turned into a deity, then that is possible, but it is rare to see an alchemist reached this place."
The rest of the crowd began discussing amongst themselves. The five who heard this has their complexion turned stiff and fear could clearly be seen in their eyes. They knew that they messed up. How could they offend a rare alchemist? They were truly blind and foolish.
In their stay in this land for many years already and having not been chosen yet, they have almost already given up hope and decided to just be the overlord of the town. However, they did not expect that this unassuming newcomer is a rare genius.
"Young… young master… please forgive our offense. We… we promise, if you release us we will serve you with all our might. We will be under you from now on." The tall and burly man said with a begging tone.
Right now he could not move his body anymore and those were the last words he said when his whole body became stiff.
"Done! Exactly 3 minutes… Hmmm… a bit long… I need to adjust the formula." Shin Jiao just muttered as he turns around and enters the bungalow.
The people outside were all dumbfounded, and they all retreated in fear. They knew how crazy alchemist could be in their worlds. Those people are maniacs and would sometimes treat others like their guinea pig. This is also one of the reasons why alchemist could not reach this place, a lot of bad karmas and weak body.
As the crowd disperses they just showed pitiful gazes at the five people frozen on the spot covered with black sludge on some parts of their body.
Shin Jiao did not mind them as he controlled a new batch of liquid mentally and apply it almost all over their bodies. However, he decided to expose some parts of the people, stomach, butt, a part of an arm, a part of a leg, and their eyes.
When the people are gone, Shin Jiao fixes the gate and just showed a faint smile on those people who are already like black statues.
After that, he returns to the house and waited.
That night, Shin Jiao observe outside without blinking, he needs to learn more about these shadow creatures in the forest. He has already discovered the usefulness of their core and he needs to get his hands on more of them.
While eating a mushroom, he carefully watches at those five had a look of horror on their faces. Suddenly a few shadow creatures approached them and began sniffing. Two shadow wolves which he had killed for the first time, and a long 5-meters snake.
Those beasts dare not touch the black sludge as if they are afraid of it. However, Shin Jiao saw that the wolves suddenly extended their claws and sliced the exposed stomach of that burly young man. Shin Jiao saw a golden-colored liquid slowly gushing out from that man's wounds and this immediately attracted the shadow creatures.
The three began fighting to the death. It was as if they could not give up that precious golden liquid from the wound of the stomach.
Shin Jiao could even hear the muffled cry of pain from the burly man.
Not long later, a limping wolf emerges victorious after killing the two shadow creatures. It slowly approached the flowing golden liquid and then extended its tongue towards it.
While observing, Shin Jiao saw something really amazing. That wolf who won the bout slowly began changing. Its black fur began to change and turn into normal wolf's fur, then its body color and shape slowly change and turn into an ordinary wolf.
The wolf could not contain it anymore and began devouring the flesh on that stomach.
Shin Jiao could see the horror and pained expression on that burly man as he is being eaten alive. He didn't know if this person has done evil things, but he just threatened him a while ago.
And as someone who came from the cultivation land, Shin Jiao knew that these are not empty threats. So he just watches that burly man and observed.
Soon he saw the wolf stopped, then suddenly a light appears and the wolf vanished.
Shin Jiao could see the burly man still breathing even with a torn stomach.
He did not waste any time and immediately walked out and takes out the cores of the two shadow creatures then went back inside the house as if nothing has just happened.
