75 Resolution of the Demonic way! (2/2)
Under his gaze, not far away, a youngster with a thin body and pale face was traversing the forest.
With his enemy nearby, Wang Da did not act immediately, but turned his gaze to several other positions.
From each of these positions, an invigilator Gu Master was hidden.
To prevent cheating and for immediate treatment of injuries, the area nearby had around a few dozen Rank two Gu Masters hiding. There was even Rank three clan elders holding the fort on the mountains high up.
Wang Da carefully moved around the forest and collected a lot of intel.
”I want to kill Fang Yuan, so I need to get rid of these three Gu Masters first. Otherwise, once I show myself, I will be disturbed. Maybe with surprise, I can kill Fang Yuan, but I will also get killed by the Gu Masters that chase after me from there.”
”I have Rank two middle stage cultivation, and there’s 50% primeval essence in my body. I have to act first and kill these three Gu Masters, it is difficult. I have to strike consecutively in a very short period. Otherwise, once they find their companions dead, they would become alert and my traces will be exposed…...”
”Shadow Follower Gu.” Wang Da closed his eyes and called in his heart.
Immediately, his body became enshrouded in a lump of darkness and could move among the tree shadows.
All was silent.
In a thick bush nearby, the Gu Yue clan’s Rank two Gu Master sprawled inside, yawning out of boredom.
”So boring, accompanying these junior students, I feel like a nanny.” This Gu Master complained softly, not feeling the shadow that was slowly creeping around him.
A pair of bony hands stretched out from the shadows.
This pair of hands was pale to the limit, the joints were huge and the ten nails were sharp and long, the nails dyed a shade of dark purple and emitted a slightly fishy smell.
”What smell is this?” The Gu Yue clan Gu Master sniffed, frowning subconsciously.
He just wanted to investigate, but it was too late.
Wang Da pounced like a snake, striking at lightning speed!
One hand covered the Gu Master’s mouth and nose, while the other stabbed from the shadows towards his back. His dark purple nails were sharp as blades, his fingers easily entering the Gu Master’s body and reaching his heart.
The fingernails were poisonous, and at that moment it invaded the heart. Through the blood, it spread all over the Gu Master’s body.
The Gu Master’s body stiffened and lost all signs of life.
Although they were both Rank two Gu Masters, one had assaulted abruptly with preparation, so before the battle even begun, it had ended.
”I used 10% of my primeval essence, 40% left.” Wang Da checked his aperture, and fused into the shadows once again.
A moment later, the second Gu Master hiding behind a rock also met his assault. His eyes shrunk to pin size as he collapsed on the ground.
The poison invaded his body, and soon he turned purple, and from his nose two streams of purple blood flowed out.
”30% left.” Wang Da chanted silently, turning into shadows again.
”Who is it!” The third Gu Master was hiding on a tree branch atop a huge tree. At the crucial moment he sensed something wrong, and at the time where Wang Da struck, he turned around and grabbed the two poisonous hands.
”Damn it!” Wang Da laughed sinisterly, his ten nails growing crazily, at once becoming five centimeters long, stabbing the Gu Master’s forearm and piercing his skin.
His forearm bled and the blood quickly turned dark purple.
”This is the Love Life Separation?!” The third Gu Master seeing this was shocked beyond doubt; the purple poison had already infected his face.
He knew he had no poison resistance Gu worm and was surely dead, thus he showed resolve on his face, shouting, ”Then let’s die together!”
He opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue.
There was a crescent moon tattoo on his tongue — it was the Moonlight Gu.
A moonblade shot out and slashed Wang Da’s right shoulder, piercing through and coming out from his back.
The blood splattered.
Wang Da grunted, his body swaying a little, but the Gu Master had already passed away, with a trace of life left.
”Correct, this is Love Life Separation.” Wang Da stood on the tree branch, slowly standing up, showing a bitter smile.
Love Life Separation, the number one poison among the Rank two Gu worms! To refine it, one needs the Rank one life breath grass, widow spider, red needle scorpion and the heart of a lover.
To refine this Gu worm, Wang Da killed his own wife who loved him deeply, and dug out her heart!
”It is all for survival, I could only choose strength... this is the resolution of my demonic path!” Wang Da’s eyes were red as he stared tightly at the nearby youngster.
”I gave up on love, and only had kinship left, but you took them from me! Fang Yuan...” He growled lowly, ”I want you to regret deeply all that you did!”
