Chapter 0203 - Beating In Their Own Game (2/2)

”He’s right down there, covered in a thin layer of soil. You should be able to pierce a claw through the dirt and reach him.” Long Xueyi pointed on the ground and said.

Chen Xiang released his divine sense, and quickly discovered a man buried under the path. That person possessed a very rich as well as brisk True Qi in his body. It seemed that he was ready to take action at a moment's notice, similar to a ferocious tiger waiting to attack after storing enough power.

A layer of transparent True Qi appeared on Chen Xiang's palm, circling around it. This was the [Profound Aura Finger], however, he was also using the Universal True Qi. At the same time, Chen Xiang operated the [Tai Chi Subduing Dragon Exercise], converging his entire breath. He lightly jumped off the tree, with his five fingers clasped together acting like a spear tip, he aligned his path with the man prone on the ground, and thrusted straight towards it.

Chen Xiang’s target was the part of the man’s area with the most rich True Qi, his dantian. Not to mention the soft soil, even if it was hard iron, Chen Xiang’s five [Profound Aura Finger] would be able to easily pierce through it. If that man didn't have extremely powerful spirit equipment, than he would definitely be drilled into.

As Chen Xiang stabbed down his arm, the ground shook a little. That man sensed a dangerous aura enveloping his body, however, he was still late by a beat. Chen Xiang could feel something hot and sticky on his hand as his hand penetrated the soil.

As Chen Xiang immediately operated the [Engulfing Devil Technique], that deep and oppressive True Qi immediately surged into his arm's meridians and spread throughout his body. This absorption speed was very fast, that man also rushed out of the ground, but Chen Xiang's arm remained in his victim's abdomen.

That man had the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man. However, his face had been completely contorted with pain and fear. He felt the continual loss of his True Qi from his dantian, at the same time, pain but more frightening was the numbness that coursed through his body soon after. The numbness in his nerves rendered his entire body powerless.

”You...you're Chen Xiang!” That man barely hissed out a few words.

Chen Xiang didn't reply, he was suppressing that oppressive True Qi surging into his body with all his concentration. Meanwhile, that man soon realized that Chen Xiang had seen though the ambush.

”How did you know!?” That man strugglingly asked. He couldn't believe he had been ambushed, he was very confident in his concealment abilities.

Chen Xiang still didn't reply and kept on madly extracting that man's True Qi as his body gradually started shriveling up, however, he was still alive, albeit barely.

”I've already extracted your power, so I'll let you die satisfied. I knew about Extreme Martial Sect's Elder Tan joining hands with the Lu Family. I figured someone was planning to ambush me along the route Elder Tan gave me, so I just replied back in kind.” Chen Xiang said with a sneer.

That man had an indignant look. However, from the expression in his dying eyes was clear undisguised envy. Anyone following the devil path would be deadly jealous of Chen Xiang possessing a martial technique that could absorb other people’s True Qi. This was practically most yearned and sought after technique in the devil path sects.

“Since you like hiding in the ground so much, then you can stay there forever!” Chen Xiang mercilessly laughed as he ripped his hand back out before incinerating the dying assassin and covering him with soil.

As Chen Xiang had just engulfed all the True Qi from someone in 5th level True Martial Realm, he needed to quickly find a place to refine it. Although there was a lot of True Qi, he would only receive 30 to 40 percent after refining it. This was because there were a ton of impurities inside absorbed True Qi. Chen Xiang had to refine it many times before it was pure enough for him to integrate it into the five beast forms that resided in his dantian.

After three days passed, Chen Xiang awoke. Before this, each divine beast form had fifteen true element grains illuminated. However, now there was seventeen illuminated true element grains in every beast form, a total increase of ten grains! Although that man's True Qi was quite vigorous, ultimately Chen Xiang could only integrate a small portion of it.

After waking up, Chen Xiang continued to walk towards the mine. After walking for half an hour or so, he suddenly heard very familiar sound.

”That’s Youlan's voice!” Chen Xiang rejoiced in his heart, while accelerating his footsteps.
