Chapter 171: in action

Deep inside Bloodmoon Forest, in a valley filled with dense fog and monstrous creatures, where even Golden Core Realm cultivators with string wills never dared to enter, stood a handsome young man with black hair and equally black eyes.

In front of him was a terrifying monster with a body that resembled a small hill, with four sharp sword like horns sticking out in its back.

At this time, the monster's eyes were filled with fear as it gazed at the tiny human floating in the air.

It wanted to escape somewhere far away, far away where this human could never touch it.

The expressions displayed by the monster were almost life-like, similar to that of a human.

David couldn't help but roll his eyes at the pathetic sight.

"You are such a mighty monster in the Nascent Soul realm. How can you act like this? Do you have no sense of dignity?"

David rolled his eyes and thought, his thoughts wandering as he glanced at the monster leisurely.

No matter how strong this monster was, it could never pose a threat to him.

A gentle breeze caused David's long hair to flutter in the wind. The scene looked almost ethereal and had a strong otherworldly charm to it.

Some distance away from David, a master and disciple were cautiously moving through the air.

The disciple seemed to have noticed David standing near the beast and hurriedly said to his master, "Master, look! There is this pitiful person—we should help him." The young man's face was filled with worry.

The master was attracted by his disciple's words and gave David a casual glance but didn't say anything, as if he hadn't seen the person.

However, after some time, the youth once again repeated his words, this time looking even more concerned.

The master didn't stop after hearing his disciple's words but only coldly snorted. "This young man is ignorant and rash. Let him bear the consequences of his actions."

Although he said those words, the master was immensely gratified by the disciple's attitude—it was rare to find people with compassion these days.

While the master was busy thinking, the young disciple suddenly shouted, "Look what he is doing!"

The disciple's expression was incredulous when he said those words. The master had to follow the young man's gaze, and he too was surprised.

A black sword had unknowingly appeared in the hands of the young man, and as if someone had flipped a switch, the aura around him completely changed.

David was like a divine blade ready to taste blood for the first time.

He frowned and swung the sword in every direction like an amateur who had never touched a sword in his life.

But these simple swings sent a chill running down the beast's spine.

Roar!

The beast suddenly roared and started to madly run away, coincidentally in the direction where the master and disciple were standing.

The master's face immediately turned ugly, and he hurriedly came to the front to deal with the monster.

"Master, be careful!" Seeing the sudden change, the disciple hurriedly spoke with a guilty expression on his face. Unknowingly, he had put his master's life at risk.

The monster's speed was insanely fast despite its huge size; its gigantic body moved through the air and arrived in front of the duo.

"Die! You barbaric, mindless beast!" the master raised his fist and shouted in a loud voice.

Flashing with green light, the fist moved at fast speed, but compared to the gigantic monster, it was somewhat lacking.

The fist and monster soon collided, and a terrifying shockwave was released in all directions. On the ground, some trees were uprooted and flew to the side.

Bang!

Suddenly, the master was thrown backward to the ground like a cannonball at an extremely fast speed.

His body struck numerous trees in rapid succession; the trees were instantly broken by the terrifying energy. After being dragged for tens of meters, the master's face was extremely pale with bright red blood dripping from the corner of his lips.

He tried to get up, but the searing pain in his body faltered, and he fell to the ground head first.

"Sword doesn't suit my taste," David muttered with narrowed eyes.

Suddenly, purple lightning crackled around like a snake; in between, there were few patches of grey mixed in.

In the next moment, a terrifying, almost bone-chilling atmosphere descended on the surroundings.

The monster, who was about to jump and end the life of the master for good, suddenly froze. The condition of master and disciple wasn't any different either—both of them were also frozen in place as if their hearts were grabbed by the God of Death.

David looked at this scene without any emotion and gently swung the black sword in his hand.

The sword suddenly flashed with intense greyish-purple light, and a beautiful crescent moon shot toward the monster. In the blink of an eye, the monster's body was split into two equal parts and fell to the ground; not a single drop of blood was spilled during the entire process.

The disciple looked at the scene with disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. The person he was trying to save a few minutes ago ended up saving him—what an irony.

His master, who was in terrible condition, swallowed his saliva and looked a little dazed. Seeing this scene, the disciple hurriedly rushed in his direction and fed the master a pill.

Immediately after taking the pill, the master's complexion visibly improved. However, neither master nor disciple dared to speak.

David at this time wasn't paying attention to them; his attention was on the prompt that he had received after the monster was killed. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[The History Repeater had successfully recorded the attack.]

[Power Essence captured: 70%]

[Uses left: 1]

A big smile appeared on his face after looking at the prompt.

The attack that he had unleashed just now was saved in the sword in his hand. In the future, the same attack could be unleashed again without David needing to do anything, and the power would be roughly the same as well—or in this case, 70 percent of the original attack's power.

'What a miraculous ability,' David couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Next moment, his eyes landed on the huge corpse, then at the frightened duo.

'First sell the corpse to the bank, then I will deal with these guys.'

Immediately, a prompt asking for his confirmation appeared in front of him. David immediately clicked, and the corpse's two halves suddenly disappeared.

The duo, who were already under great pressure, were frightened to death by the sudden disappearance of the huge lifeless body; the way they looked at David also changed.

David, who seemed to have guessed their thoughts, couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes.

Almost instinctively, he decided to check the status report of these guys first.

After he paid the required amount, a window displaying their stats appeared in front of him.

[Name: Solorius BrightHeaven

Investment Grade: SSS

Crystallisation of Life: Heart of Compassion]

After looking at the small guy's stats, David immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

"SSS grade investment grade!"

This little guy had the same talent as Ruby's—does this mean he could go far in the future? Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelFire.net

This might have been the second triple SSS he had ever bought.

Immediately, he turned his eyes toward the master and looked at his status report.

[Name: Hany Brighterheaven

Investment Grade: A

Crystallisation of Life: White Boxing Saint]

David's expression immediately turned weird; he seemed to have expected too much from the duo.

This subtle change in expression was captured by Hany, whose focus all this time was on David.

"What is your name, young man?" David suddenly asked, although he already knew their names. He pretended not to know them and asked in a mysterious way.

Before David could hear the young man's answer, he was hit by an extremely pleasing notification. No matter how many times he looked at it, he would never get tired by seeing the window:

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options; keep in mind that you can only choose one:

1 - Extract Client's Crystallisation of Life (the Whitestone, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Kris's memories from his birth till his death

3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life

Please note: as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, you only have seven hours left to make a choice.]

David read through the information and smiled. Interestingly, now he was not impressed by the options.

'Consume the Crystallisation of Life.'

Immediately afterward, David felt something mysterious disappearing from his body.
