CHAPTER 45: A ASSASSIN!?

There was a large commotion but Bai Long didn’t care. He already knew that Bai Huan must have run off to the sect or some other place.

It’s only a matter of time before Bai Huan is hunted again, but for now, let’s give him some time to grow his wings and gather some harem.

Bai Long walked out of the Bai Family area.

Just next to the hunting ground, there is the Crecsceft Ash Ruin.

This is an old ruin and it has some mutated monsters but they are easy to hunt, and generally normal people don’t come here because these monsters cause skin burns and skin rashes.

A normal person doesn’t think about hunting them for training, that’s why Bai Long wants to visit there.

Plus, the shadow golem should have prepared the necessary materials for him and created ultimate magic crystals.

By no means is he a wise genius, however, the crystals he has ordered are special as each one works as a weapon, explosive, and defensive mechanism.

Since these golems are master level array masters, rune masters, and weapon forging masters.

(rank: Grade 1–9, Master, Grand Master, Saint, Emperor)

Bai Long made sure that each crystal has a defensive array, an offensive array, an offensive rune, a defensive rune, and the crystal itself must be a spiritual weapon.

Bai Long entered the Pagoda.

Golems have found enough materials to create 3 magical crystals.

Seeing them, Bai Long was happy. He hurriedly dropped his blood essence and claimed ownership of the crystal.

It was another 30 years of his lifespan but it was totally worth it.

Woosh!

Each crystal with a long angular shard moved like a blade, the edges were highly sharp and enchanting with an offensive rune, so killing a human wasn’t an issue.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Those crystals penetrated the nearby tree, making his lips curve wider.

Not only did they have good offense but also a defensive array, but he dared not use it immediately as it needed to be saved in case of emergency.

"Hehe, with this I can easily hunt and collect lots of souls to feed my dragon scale... And more souls mean the book will finally be opened inside the sea of consciousness."

"Just you wait, you pathetic Yang Kai. I will eat your master’s soul and kill that woman named Xia violently, haha. As for that bastard son, Bai Huan... I will make sure to hunt both of you."

Crecsceft Ash Ruin,

After half an hour, Bai Long arrived at a dense forest hiding an abandoned temple.

Tall trees were everywhere and Bai Long instantly noticed a wild mutated boar.

Woosh~

The crystal rushed forward and penetrated the thick skin of the boar’s skull. Blood splattered everywhere.

Drip! Drip!

Red liquid pooled on the grassland. The stench of fresh blood hung in the humid air, accompanied by buzzing flies feasting on the corpse.

Plop!

The boar fell to the ground dead. Its legs twitched briefly before becoming still.

Its fat-covered body glistened with dewdrops, reflecting sunlight filtering through leaves above.

And instantly... thousands of flies buzzed around it, drawn by the metallic smell of freshly spilled blood.

They weren’t normal flies, they were flesh-devouring flies that were like sharks, attracted by the smell of blood.

Bzzz* Bzzz* Bzzzzz*

In the blink of an eye, the boar was half eaten, even the bones were spared.

The boar must have been really powerful, otherwise how could it survive for so long in such a place, where a single drip of blood attracts flesh-devouring flies!?

However, flies are blind, and they can’t travel long distances. Their only way to find the path is by smell.

Which means Bai Long needs to kill prey quietly and he has to be careful not to get his skin scratched by some trees, otherwise he will have to leave the forest instantly.

Woosh!

Woosh!

Woosh!

Using the crystal, he silently killed five more beasts, collecting their souls and storing them inside the Reverse Dragon Scale.

He even created a fire to kill the flies that gathered but it seems these flies are immune to fire.

Bai Long hasn’t heard many stories of such flies. From the memory of the past, he knows they aren’t normal flies but spiritual flies. Nonetheless, if he could kill so many flies, surely he would grow strong, correct!?

Soul is equal for everyone. Whether it’s a fly, cow, pig, or elephant, the soul gives the exact same experience.

Only humans and demons are different cases. Demons have bigger souls whereas humans have weaker souls. Nonetheless, a single human soul provides more than fifty animal souls combined.

Human Soul Demon Soul Animal Soul.

One Human Soul = Fifty-Five Animal Souls. One Demon Soul = Two Hundred Animal Souls.

Animal souls work differently depending on species and race, and the older the animal gets, the larger their soul grows.

Nonetheless, Bai Long prefers hunting humans for now.

"Come out... I can sense you." Bai Long looked around.

He had a strange feeling that he was being followed.

"Well, well, well, it seems Young Master Bai has some skills..."

One figure revealed himself wearing a black cloak, holding a long scythe. The aura of the Foundation Stage surged, making Bai Long suffocate.

Gggh...

Bai Long’s legs trembled and a strong pressure was pushing him to his knees.

"You... I know you... You are assassin from the Blood Moon Guild."

"Hehe, of course, of course, I am world famous..." the man patted his chest.

"No, you fool... My master Lang Hao is a friend of your guild master. You dare try to assassinate me? Wait for my master’s revenge." Bai Long gritted his teeth.

Man: "..."

"What!?... Your master is the guild master’s friend!? Ha, you are bluffing. The guild master is a cold, sinister person, he has no friends... Now go and meet Yama," the assassin said.

Bai Long: "..."

He was merely borrowing clothes. Did he get caught this easily!?

No, how can that be!? Just look at his clothes, no way such a person can use his brain to think correctly.

But Bai Long couldn’t show any weakness now. "You dare not believe me... Mark my words, if you don’t tell me who sent you, I will make sure you are punished harshly. Do you think I am not aware of the Dark Guild costume..."

’Could this beast really be the disciple of Lang Hao!? But who is this Lang Hao!? How come I have never heard of such a person!?’

’What to do... Should I kill him!? Should I leave him!? Should I tell him that someone named Yang Kai sent me with a bounty of 100K spirit stones?’

"Ha, we the members of the Dark Guild are very honest and smart, I will never reveal that someone named Yang Kai offered 100K stones for your head."
