Chapter 1294 The Merging Force (2/2)

All Merle wanted was to find relief from the burning sensation brought on by the wine. To his pleasant surprise, it enhanced his meridians. He was so thrilled that he couldn't stop grinning.

”A hundred jars,” Merle ordered as greed flashed in his eyes.

His words aroused the curiosity of the other customers, a

reveal a flaw.

Merle, on the other hand, knew that if he were punched, his body would explode. He had no choice but to be patient.

”Show yourself! Get on your knees!”

The man staggered as he tried to target Merle.

Merle flashed in front of him and then immediately stepped aside, trying to confuse the man further.

The man launched a hard punch, but missed his target and fell into the sand. Half of his body was buried in the sand.

Merle's eyes grew cold. His chance had finally come!

He rushed over quickly and gathered his physical strength to its maximum.

He raised his hands and hacked at the man's back quickly.

”Ah!”

The man roared as he was split in half.

Even so, he was not necessarily going to die. Therefore, Merle moved quickly. He rushed forward, smashed the man's head with a palm, and stomped on his heart.

Only then was Merle certain that the man was dead. Even though he had taken advantage of the man's inebriated state, joy coursed through Merle at the thought that he had killed a cultivator at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm!

Without any delay, Merle triggered the essence bead and released the Merging Force.

When the Merging Force was used on the man's corpse, Merle would inherit the dead man's strength.

A shadow condensed where the man had died and gradually floated toward Merle.

Once this shadow entered his body, Merle would ascend to the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm. He was so excited that he couldn't breathe!

Crack!

Just as the shadow was about to reach Merle, a streak of thunder suddenly fell from the sky's depths.

”No!”

Merle roared as he turned to glare at the sky.
