Chapter 32: Blue Marten! (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun proceeded to use offense as his defense, sending a barrage of Gale Winds Kicks at the marten. Each kick carried with it 500 kilograms of weight, causing ripples in the air.

The blue marten, however, was way too fast. No matter what he did, his kicks would not connect. At this moment, the blue marten once again seized the opportunity and leapt straight at the tiger cub in Xiang Shaoyun's hands. It seemed like it wanted to murder the cub that ate its yellow ginseng before anything else.

Xiang Shaoyun's gift of instinct was not able to react in time. The blue marten's claws were barely an inch away from the tiger cub, about to claw it to death.

Roar!

All of a sudden, the cub's cries seemed to become much more imposing, as if it were the king of the forest. Its overbearing aura spread out, striking the opposing party with fear. Although the blue marten was a tier-2 Intermediate Demon, it was scared by the indomitable roar of the king of the forest. It cowered momentarily, not daring to attack the small tiger.

Xiang Shaoyun grasped this once in a thousand opportunity and sent a finger straight at it.

Star Destroying Finger!

Pow!

The blue marten's strong suit was its speed in combat. However, it was on the weaker side in terms of attack and defensive power. Hence, it was injured by Xiang Shaoyun's attack. That being said, the blue marten was rather tenacious. After crying out in pain, it escaped into the gra.s.s and vanished from sight.

Xiang Shaoyun chose not to press his attack. Blood was rapidly flowing from his body; if he did not deal with the blood soon, it would pose a danger. After he finished briefly wrapping his wound, he turned to look at the cub. When he caught sight of it, it was clawing at a patch of soil.

Eyes s.h.i.+ning, he quickly ran over and lifted the cub over to one side. He then began to quickly tear the patch of soil apart, his face glowing with excitement, ”S-such a big stalk of yellow ginseng! It looks like it's just barely 300 years old! It qualifies as a spirit medicine!”

”Meow!”

The cub cried out in dissatisfaction. It had once again reverted to having a cute little kitty's meow, a far cry from the imposing manner it struck just now.

”Kid, you already ate a stalk of yellow ginseng, leave this one for me. Count it as payment for my troubles,” Xiang Shaoyun said to the tiger cub.

This particular ginseng had the benefit of having been through years of cultivation. It contained numerous benefits in tempering a martial artist's body, and it could fetch a price of more than 3,000 gold.

Wrapping up the yellow ginseng well, Xiang Shaoyun continued to bring the tiger cub back to its mother. As the two of them drew nearer to the place where he had seen the adult tiger, all he saw was a b.l.o.o.d.y mess of flesh and meat, a very disgusting sight to behold. Although he had killed small demonic beasts before, Xiang Shaoyun had never once killed a person. Seeing the carnage that had unfolded, he could not help but feel nauseous.

”It's not like I've never seen a dead person. How many people have already died for me? Isn't the path of the overlord littered with such occurrences? I, Xiang Shaoyun, can handle all this,” Xiang Shaoyun resolved and said as he swallowed his saliva.

His eyes then fell on a sword lying beside the dead man. Picking it up, he exclaimed, ”This is a tier-2 sword! I should keep it with me.”

Following that, he caught sight of a bag stuffed with items near the dead man. Running over, he grabbed the bag and opened it. Once he caught sight of its contents, he gasped and said, ”This guy's earnings were quite substantial alright. He actually has quite a few old medicines! What a pity, they all belong to me now!”

Looking through the items again, he found that apart from a huge number of old medicines, there was a jade bottle containing four healing pills, as well as a few golden notes and a battle technique.

”Is this a wealth bestowed upon me by the heavens?” Xiang Shaoyun laughed gleefully. Just as he was about to wrap the items up again, he heard a faint rustling and stiffened up.

Whistle!

Out of the blue, a blast of wind shot out from nowhere, heading straight for the back of his head.
