Celestial Peak [I]

79. Stealing II

"Senior!"

The two swordsmen moved and wanted to approach Senior Sister Yan, but two figures suddenly appeared. The two came from two different direction and they were both flying into the air.

One was a Phoenix while the other was a winged-human. The two swordsmen were already exhausted. They wanted to fight back but their body was already at its limits. They wanted to draw strength from their cores but they weren't able to do so,

Wang Ling moved and found his way in front of one of the swordsman. He brandished the sword that was on his hand and directly beheaded his target.

Bai Xue was even more brutal than him as she started burning her target alive without remorse. Bai Xue retracted her flames after seeing the body of her target was already scorched. Wang Ling was just about to say she needed to behead them when Bai Xue suddenly slashed out her talons and teared her target's body apart.

Wang Ling saw this and shut his demanding mouth. He then turned his head to Senio Sister Yan who was falling from above. Instructing Bai Xue to finish off the avian beast that the three were riding, Wang Ling dove down.

He moved like lightning and soon reached the falling Senior Sister Yan. Using his sword to slash horizontally, he beheaded her cleanly and her headless corpse fell from the sky. When her corpse from above, it got tangled with branches of the trees and her clothes and entrails got torn to pieces.

Wang Ling saw this and then turn his head towards the other corpses. He saw their mangled bodies and nodded his head in satisfaction. They were dead without a doubt. Now, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

While he was looking around Bai Xue landed atop his head as she changed her form from a Phoenix into her regular white fox form.

Soon after her landing atop his head, a shower of blood appeared. Wang Ling watched as the torn apart body of the avian type beasts their three targets were riding rain down as corpses, Wang Ling felt ease.

These beasts were all spirit beasts. They had the ability to speak and learn, they also had to die. Wang Ling was not going to take any chances so he had Bai Xue kill them to ensure no witness could be made.

Bai Xue was eating a beast core she harvested from one of the beasts as she said, "You're going to carry me for the entire day. That work was quite tiring."

Wang Ling felt the need to grumble as he didn't want their roles to be reverse. However, considering he had just been helped by Bai Xue, he didn't really have the right to complain.

Wang Ling descended from the air and landed on the spot where the corpse of the Evil Death Butterfly fell on. He extracted its blood essence and kept it safe in a jade bottle he was keeping inside his storage ring.

He then tossed the beast towards Bai Xue. Which was gladly accepted by Bai Xue who had just finished munching on the beast core she had. Wang Ling kept his sword away and then remembered something really important.

"Shit, I forgot to retrieve my spear. Wait, it's not just spears. I also forgot to loot those people before letting them get mangled. I hope I'm not too late."

Although Wang Ling had just killed those peoples because they were getting on his way without their knowledge. Wang Ling still wanted to loot them. Why? Because he needed their resources.

Plundering the possession of dead people might be looked down upon but that's basically many rogue cultivators get their resources. They will kill and take the possession of his enemies.

Even if it's considered robbing the dead and was a considered a great taboo in the view of mortals. For cultivators, it's just a normal day occurrence.
