Chapter 1188 Origin Of The Core



Grey walked out from where he was hiding and glanced around the room. The little girl was still in a state of shock, while the group of four men were staring at him with a fearful expression. 

"Who are you?" Aaron asked, he couldn't see Grey's face, nor could he sense his cultivation stage, but for him to walk out this easily showed that he was not someone who was afraid of them. This meant only one thing, Grey was stronger than they were and was confident he could deal with them. 

pandasnovel.com "Who I am doesn't matter. I'm curious about your reason for wanting to kill the girl. Just for the core?" Grey asked as he walked closer to them. He paused halfway, threw a glance at the core, and sighed. 

To be honest, he was quite interested in taking it for himself, but hearing the words of the little girl when she first came in, he opted to give up on it, for now. It's not that he didn't want it, but taking something from the hands of a depressed little girl wasn't something he wanted to do. His mother would beat him up if she ever found out he did something like this, knowingly. 

Grey turned his attention from the core before walking over to Cori, "Are you hurt?" 

Cori shook her head to Grey's question, although she could barely talk, she answered him. 

"Good, normally, I don't involve myself in things like this. But since I'm already here, I can't help it." Grey turned to the four men, "You have two options, either I kill you, or you destroy your cultivation base." 

The four men looked at Grey and one of them took a step forward, visibly angry. 

"What do you mean by…" 

He was still halfway through his statement when his body started to disintegrate, before long, he was nowhere to be seen. He didn't make any sounds nor did he show any signs of resisting. In a matter of seconds, it was as if he was never present. 

Grey glanced at Cori for a little while before turning his attention to them. He wasn't the one that killed the man just now, Cori did. He didn't think she would kill him almost instantly. 

'I should learn that move.' He thought to himself. 

Yes, he could also do something like this, but not in the manner Cori did it. Her way was so sophisticated and abrupt that even before one could notice it, they were dead. Grey's method involved a whole lot of processes that others could dodge if lucky. 

Aaron and two others looked at Cori with fearful expressions. 

"See, do as I say, at least, you get to keep your lives that way." Grey said. 

"You promise to spare our lives?" Aaron asked, looking at Grey, fearfully. 

"I'll not touch you as long as you do as I say." Grey nodded, affirming his statement. I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

People like these would die the moment they lost their cultivation, so he wasn't worried they would endanger another person. 

Aaron was the first to come to a decision, with his fist tightly clenched, he controlled his essence and destroyed his cultivation base to the shock of the other two. They didn't believe he would do it. 

"Can I go now?" He asked. 

Grey nodded, and while he was about to move, he took a glance at Cori, whose eyes radiated unbridled killing intent. His eyes turned to Grey. Understanding what he wanted, Grey turned to Cori and shook his head, indicating for her to let him go. 

Aaron walked up the stairs and left. The other two thought it through and followed Aaron's lead. Two of them were dead under the hands of Cori, and there's still Grey who was present. They couldn't fight against Cori, much less Grey who seemed stronger. 

"Why did you let them go?" Cori asked, annoyed. 

"In some cases, death might be the easiest punishment to give to some people." Grey answered. 

"Who are you?" Cori asked. 

"I'm no one important, I was drawn here by something." Grey turned to look at the core again. There was a moment of silence from both people. 

"Where did your brother get this?" He couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and asked. 

"There was a Space Tiger that roamed this region, it was a Rank Eight Beast and was well known. According to what I heard, it died some years ago and people had been searching for its remains for a long time now…" Cori told him what she knew. She might be young, but due to her strength, she was told a few of the secrets her brother knew about the place. 

This Rank Right Space Tiger was well known for its spatial abilities. It could go from one place to another in a matter of seconds. Its spatial abilities were so strong that even the top powerhouses in this world had come in search of its core. 

The Beast was said to be injured during a fight and fled to heal. No one had seen or heard of it again and they all assumed it was dead. People, especially Space Elementalists had been searching all over for it, but none of them had been able to locate it. 

Cori's elder brother got a map from their parents a long time ago, long before the Tiger died, and while going to the place the map led, Cori's brother found the remains of the Tiger at his destination. It was purely coincidental and he brought the core back. He also took the bones of the Tiger since its flesh was no longer on its body. 

Aaron found out about the Tiger when he saw the bones with Ryla, not just him, but when Ryla tried to sell off the bones, those from the Tekik Family found out and inquired about it. There was a distinct feature on the bones of the Space Tiger, unlike any other Beast, its bones were completely black and filled with incredible spatial distortions.
