82 Chop Chop Chop (2/2)

”Seems like it's time to interfere.” Arnin smiled as he made his way towards Jia with White's sword in his hand. He was planning a sneak attack against Jia, but that didn't seem possible since the bun haired girl was just too weak.

Jia didn't notice Arnin walking towards him just yet as he glared at the girl in front of him. ”Little girl, you are not strong enough to face me, but since you already tried, forget trying to leave this place alive.” Jia was already pissed off because of White, and now he had to face a couple of children who kept taunting him. He wasn't the type who would take that lying down.

”Hey, since you are done playing with little girls, want to try to fight me?” Suddenly, Jia heard a voice on his on his left. He turned his head and saw Arnin walking over with a sword about the same size as his child like body being dragged beside him.

”Brat, do you really think you can face me? Especially with a blade that you can barely carry?” Jia found this humorous, however Arnin's gaze continued to remain calm.

”Whatever.” Arnin ignored his taunts, and quickly sprinted towards Jia. The sword was actually quite easy to hold for Arnin.

Jia also prepared himself for the fight. He knew that Annie was most likely much stronger than the bun haired girl, so it would be a little more difficult to face him with his current strength, however he was still confident in his abilities. He continued to look down on Arnin since he was still a child, and also quite weak.

”Come! Let me show you what real strength is---” Just as he spoke, Arnin vanished from his sight. ”ARG!” He felt a piercing pain shoot from his leg, so he quickly looked down.

To his horror, he found that his left leg was missing. He suddenly turned around with his face bright red. ”I am going to kill you--” When he turned around and was about to hit Arnin with his staff, he felt another burst of pain rush from his arm. He looked over and saw his right arm falling onto the ground, blood rushing out of the wound.

Arnin gazed at Jia calmly. ”You are actually quite slow and weak. If you were at your full strength, then I may have needed to put some effort into killing you, but now?” Arnin had a cold smile on his face. He then swung the large sword once again, chopping the remaining leg and arm off.

”AHHH!” The bun haired girl watched all of this happen with grimness. Although she had seen Arnin do worse, she never knew that he was actually this strong. She used to think that he could probably barely fight a Essence Manifest - Sky cultivator, but never dominate one.

'There is no way I can escape from him unless someone saves me, and that person needs to be much stronger than this demon, if not, then there is no way I can be saved.' She sighed internally as she thought about this. Arnin was just too freakishly strong. Only the stronger contestants could do anything to him, but why would they try to help her? She neither had anything worth giving to them, nor any sort of special status.

Jia quickly fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the four major wounds he just recieved. Although it seemed that Arnin killed Jia without spending much effort, in reality he had used a little more essence than he intended. The sudden speed increase forced him to use so much essence that he was on the brink of falling into Orb Birth - Earth.

'This is just great. Seems like I need to go on another massacre in order to get some more blood. When will I find a way to heal myself?' Arnin was getting irritated by the fact that his orb threads continuing to leak essence. He just needed to quickly find a way to heal them, and then he could fight as he pleased.

Arnin's calm gaze locked onto Jia as he lifted his sword and began to chop. ”AH!!” The painful screams of Jia started off loud, but slowly turned into whimpers, and then… nothing.

White saw everything, and couldn't help but feel fear. Jia was dead. Plus, the death was not peaceful or quick. It looked extremely painful.

'This Demonic Joker won't let me go either. I need to find a way to survive this, or at least not go through the same pain as Jia.' White was extremely scared. Although Arnin had recently rose to prominence, his name was still somewhat scary to weaker cultivators.

Some weaker cultivators even made up a little saying or warning revolving around Arnin. 'When you see the Joker, run before he sees you. If the Joker wants your head, then give it to him yourself, do not let him take it himself.'

Basically, avoid the Joker, but if that's not possible, then commit suicide. This was what people would say. Arnin's ruthless methods were just too frightening. Plus, many were able to see the way he killed from afar, and this frightened them silly.

Blood began to pool around Jia rather quickly, however Arnin knew that this was not going to be nearly enough to increase his powers. He needed lots of blood. His gaze then landed on White.

When White saw Arnin look at her, she felt as though the world just ended. She did not want to die, but she also didn't want to be tortured to death. 'What should I do? He won't let me live, but I also can't leave. Damn this numbing!' She was crazily mumbling to herself as she saw the Death God like Arnin move towards her, slowly getting closer.

When Arnin finally reached her, his gaze locked onto her hair. ”Please, can you le--” Just as she was about to finish speaking, Arnin grabbed her hair and began to drag her towards Jia's body.

”No, no, no! I don't want to be tortured. No, I don't want to die!” White screamed from the top of her lungs, but there was nothing that she could say which could stir Arnin to stop. His facial expression was calm and unchanging. Her every scream was like a small breeze to Arnin. Insignificant.

Arnin threw White on top of the badly tortured and bleeding Jia. He then lifted the blade and started to chop away. ”AHHH!”

The bun haired girl watched this from afar. She then quickly looked away and squatted on the ground. Her hands were covering her ears as she closed her eyes. She tried to block out the scene and sound, however it was just as useless as the first time.

Half an hour passed. The screams stopped a long time ago, however Arnin was waiting for the blood to pool so that he could absorb as much as he could. The bun haired girl opened her eyes and looked at the scene. She couldn't help but vomit right away.

Skinned! The bodies were skinned like those of animals. She started to debate whether she should just kill herself and escape the hell she was currently in.

Arnin ignored everything, and sat down beside the pool of blood, beginning to cultivate with the Demon Cultivation Manual. He slowly absorbed the blood and turned it into usable essence.

While Arnin was silently cultivating, he didn't know that a particular person was slowly making their way towards Lepidoptera Academy.
