Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the male disciple couldn’t help but beco stunned.
Not only he but also others were the sa.
Although no one doubted his intention of killing the male disciple, with the life-saving inscription, it was impossible to do this within a short amount of ti.
Even if he was powerful, he would need to attack continuously for a week or even more. Whether attacking for this long was possible or not, it would be idiotic to waste ti since the mystic pond was not sothing that would wait.
Li i understood this, and just as she was about to say sothing, she saw Ye Chen inserting more golden needles into the male disciple’s body.
"You! What are you doing?!" the male disciple shouted with a frown.
There was no fear in his eyes because if the needles had any threat, they would be imdiately repelled by protective inscription.
As for why it didn’t happen when Ye Chen immobilized them, it was because he used a needle technique, which can heal the wounds. Furthermore, it was no threat to them, so the protective inscription didn’t act.
Of course this trick wouldn’t work if he tried to harm or take their life this way. Hence, the male disciple was confused at his actions.
"Do you know a needle technique called Soul Rebirth? It is done for the people whose souls are critically injured. Although this technique is excellent at saving lives, there is a fatal flaw, and that is to heal the soul; it sucks on the vitality of that person."
"I believe that you all know how important vitality is to any living being, not to ntion cultivators. So unless there is no choice, no one will agree to get treated by this technique because it makes their lifespan shorter. There is even definite death if the dicine master continued to use this technique without caring about the vitality."
Ye Chen spoke with a calm look while playing with the golden needles in his hand.
"No one can escape such death even if they had high-grade protective inscription on them. So, if you have any last words, do tell . Who knows, in the future I will encounter your family mbers, and before sending them to you, I will tell them what your last words were," he added with a chilling smile.
"You—you are a demon!" The male disciple couldn’t help but shout with fear now.
"Yes, I am a demon; a pity that you found out too late." Ye Chen shook his head with an amused expression, and then, without waiting further, he used the Soul Rebirth needle technique.
"ARGGHHH!"
The male disciple scread in agony as he felt thousands of ants crawling in his body. He wanted to try killing himself so the protective inscription could act, but with the golden needles immobilizing him, he could only watch as death neared.
Watching him like this, Lou Ya and Feng Yue shivered with fear and started to cry.
anwhile, Li i and others felt chills on their backs. But no one stopped him.
Even the Buddhist temple disciples did not care.
Life and death was a daily occurrence in this world. If they started to take care of such things, even a hundred Buddhist temples might not be enough.
Furthermore, they knew who was in the wrong and right. If Ye Chen wasn’t strong enough, he might have died, and so the people around him, hence there was no need to pity them.
After a minute or so, the scream dropped down and stopped.
There was no visible change in the face of the male disciple, but everyone could feel his body was devoid of any vitality. He was like any other corpse lying around here.
"P-please don’t kill ; I will do anything, anything,"
"Yes, yes, too. Please spare ."
Both Lou Ya and Feng Yue begged for rcy again.
However, Ye Chen didn’t display any compassion and used the Soul Rebirth technique on them.
Just like the male disciple, both scread in agony before lying on the ground lifeless.
Li i and others couldn’t help but feel this was too cruel.
"Aye, brother, you have to know how to be compassionate in the future," the fatty Li Zhenyuan spoke with a serious look.
While in response, Ye Chen nodded.
"Hmm, you are right. I should have asked them to kill themselves or kill each other," he said with a thoughtful look.
Hearing his words, the fatty couldn’t help but stiffen.
"Ahem, anyway, let’s go! The mystic pond is not going to wait for us," he suggested with a hurried expression.
But to his surprise, Ye Chen shook his head.
"Just wait for a minute," he said and flicked his sleeves.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In that instant, seven spatial rings and so unused talismans flew into his hands.
After which, Ye Chen glanced at the bodies of the dead.
’System, extract their blood essence,’ he instructed inwardly.
[Ding, the blood essence extraction procedure had been initiated.]
[Counting dead bodies, a total of 51 bodies detected]
[Now comncing the extraction: 10%, 20%, 30%….]
Just as the system initiated the process, one or two drops of blood flew out from the dead bodies and rged together, forming a small red ball that hovered in front of Ye Chen.
Witnessing this, Li i and others couldn’t help but beco stunned.
As for Buddhist temple disciples, they frowned a little at this, but no one said anything. There were many people in the cultivation world who even ground the bones of their enemies before making a soup of it and feeding it to others.
Not to ntion just collecting blood essence. Although it wasn’t sothing looked upon favorably, no one will care about it unless the dead were related.
[80%, 90%, 100%]
[The blood essence extraction is complete; now comncing the absorption.]
The voice of the system rang again, and the ball of blood essence started to evaporate before naked eyes.
Watching this, everyone was baffled. They thought Ye Chen was extracting blood essence for his use, not to burn it away.
[Ding! The absorption is complete!]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining 25,500 system coins!]
Hearing the voice system, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh faintly.
’System, do you want to comnce a massacre just to get a large amount of system coins?’ he inquired with a helpless look.
With the system coins he had before, the total was only 67,500 coins. He couldn’t even purchase the Earth-grade fishing chance with this, which cost a total of 100,000 coins.
"Let’s go; we shouldn’t waste any ti here," Ye Chen suggested as he received no reply from the system.
While hearing his words, everyone gave him a look that said, You were the one who wasted everyone’s ti.
Nevertheless, they didn’t refute his words and sprinted towards the mystic pond.
There was no trouble on the way here, and after a long journey, everyone arrived in front of a massive mountain, which had two gigantic doors.
"Good, it’s not opened yet," Li Zhenyuan heaved a sigh of relief as he was afraid of wasting ti.
Others too were the sa, except Ye Chen, who, rather than looking at the door, focused on the crowd ahead.
’Looks like many died,’ Ye Chen muttered in his heart while giving a deep look at royal family disciples who were injured.
The total number of disciples they sent was twenty, but now only twelve remained. Furthermore, the count of total disciples here was below two hundred, far lower than how many entered.
Li i and others also noticed this, and their expression beca solemn.
"Why did so many people die here? There were not any lethal traps," Wang Yiyi inquired with a frown while hiding behind Li i.
If one looked at her closely, they would see her face pale and her small hands clenching the corner of Li i’s cloth.
Just like Li i, she had also killed soone, and although nothing happened at first, she was feeling complicated over ending a life now.
Everyone had noticed this, so on the way, they avoided any talks related to killing, but now they can’t hide it.
Maybe a lie would ease her; however, no one did that since she might feel more guilty after knowing the truth.
"Soone tried to assassinate the crown prince, and from the looks of it, the numbers were high," Ye Chen spoke calmly and turned his gaze towards disciples from other powers.
They were all intact, unlike the royal family.
Just as Ye Chen was looking at them, others were too, looking in his direction.
"How is he still alive? Don’t tell those idiots got caught before even attacking," a disciple from Fla Dragon Sect muttered with dissatisfaction.
anwhile, many other disciples were shocked at how he ca out uninjured. Especially the disciples who had ideas on him and gave up later.
"He is really an interesting person," The crown prince, Ji Feng, also looked at Ye Chen with so surprise.
Although he didn’t wish for Ye Chen’s death, it would be better if he were injured so he could strike up a conversation and lend him help.
Boom!
Suddenly the two gigantic doors started to open.
"Get ready; the mystic pond is opening!"
