Chapter 18 Gamble
"Trash" Bai Ming coldly stared at the corpse of the pregnant woman, before storing her lifeless body.
Bai Ming then moved to another house, he saw that there were three young children which made him inwardly pleased.
He strode forward, but just as he was about to place his hand on one of the children, his eyes flashed.
A shadow suddenly appeared behind him, slashing ruthlessly at him, Bai Ming didn't bother turning around or pressing forward, he quickly used both of his arms coated in spiritual energy to shield his skull.
Clang!
The sound of the sword clashing with his semi-treasure skin produced a metallic sound. A surprised exclamation echoed from the attacker. He expected to directly slice through Bai Ming but shockingly found that he couldn't. There was just a light flesh wound on Bai Ming's arms. If Bai Ming had not refined his body, he would have been split in half.
Killing intent surged in Bai Ming's heart. He took a step forward and swiftly turned his body, seeing the appearance of his attacker, he recognized this person it was the snoring old guard.
The old man was relentless in his attack, pale green sword light flashed, and a meter-wide green spiritual ray dashed towards Bai Ming.
Bai Ming used his footwork as he sidestepped the spiritual ray. He quickly unsheathed his sword as he charged at the old man head-on.
The old man quickly pulled some distance, rushing out of the house, at the same time he swung his sword expelling another spiritual ray.
Bai Ming replied with a sword strike of his own, canceling out the sword ray. The next second Bsi Ming's eyes narrowed as he witnessed that the old man had used a fire signal to inform the clan.
Bai Ming's heart sank, using the drifting steps movement technique he immediately began retreating crazily.
The old man noticed Bai Ming's intentions, as he instantly moved to thwart Bai Ming's retreat.
"This old man is not an ordinary bone-forging realm cultivator, I was unable to sense him at all. But that's not all his footwork, it's definitely a mid-grade technique. The signal has been already sent, clansmen will be here any moment. I can't shake off this old man, I have to kill him, no other way." Bai Ming's eyes turned colder, his heart surging with sinister killing intent.
Bai Ming swiped his sword, and an eerie green sword light violently gilded toward the old man, at the same time Bai Ming kicked off the ground explosively and sped forward like a bullet.
Even though the old man was using a mid-grade movement technique, he was only slightly quicker than Bai Ming. After everything was said and done, Bai Ming was also a body cultivator, his explosive strength was on a level that this old man couldn't contest.
The old man quickly moved aside narrowly dogging the sword ray, but his heart shrank as he couldn't escape from Bai Ming.
"Tyrant fist" Bai Ming roared internally as he intently swung his fist at the old man, the old man used his sword to block the incoming attack but was sent flying from the overwhelming impact. He heavily crashed into the wooden house. Due to the tremendous impact, the old wooden house collapsed killing the children inside.
The old man continuously vomited blood, there were even fragments of organs mixed in it. Bai Ming quickly pressed forward picking up the heavily injured old man, Bai Ming had 18000jin of raw strength and along with the use of a martial technique, it further heightened his destructive capabilities.
This old man was only a peak bone forging realm cultivator, even though he was adept at moment arts but that's all. In a contest of physical strength, he definitely wasn't Bai Ming's match.
Bai Ming was just about to deliver the finishing blow, But at this time Bai Ming suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the forest "Hold on, we are almost there!"
Bai Ming's heart jumped.
"Damn it," Bai Ming's face turned unsightly, the old man who was on the verge of death showed a victor's smile.
Bai Ming snorted and mercilessly snapped the old man's neck, killing him instantly and storing his corpse.
Bai Ming's mind churned rapidly as he began thinking of a way out of this precarious situation, retreat? if it was possible, Bai Ming would definitely not be standing here. The pursuers were almost here, there was no use in escaping.
Bai Ming's gaze concentrated, a few seconds later he suddenly had an inspiration, Bai Ming only hesitated for a second before he decided to gamble.
Bai Ming gritted his teeth as he used the treasure sword to cut himself from his left shoulder down to his waist. Blood surged out wildly, the wound was very deep. But Bai Ming was not done just yet, he used the tyrant fist technique again but this time to smash his own right leg.
Next, he quickly stored the mask on his face. After that, he started to crawl in a certain direction with much difficulty, screaming in a rough voice "EVIL DEMON!! COME BACK! DON'T RUN YOU, COWARD, I WILL KILL YOU!!"
At this time two figures suddenly rushed out of the dark forest, one was a middle-aged man with gentle features another was a young man who had an icy look on his face.
But seeing the scene in front of them, Both of them were stunned for a second.
Bai Ming was crawling ahead leaving a trail of blood, his entire body covered in dust and blood, but he was still strenuously crawling forward and screaming in irrepressible rage. The crimson blood and dirt sticking on his face made him look ferocious and demonic.
The two figures quickly glanced at each other, before they hurriedly neared Bai Ming.
"kid stop moving, what happened here?" The gentle middle-aged man spoke.
"EVIL SCUM! I WANT TO KILL YOU!" Bai Ming continued to scream completely ignoring the middle-aged man's words, his face extremely bloodthirsty.
"Calm down, calm down. Tell me what happened here." The middle-aged man spoke once again.
"That way, he went that way. quickly go kill him! don't let him escape. Go quickly!" Bai Ming pointed out the direction with his bloodshot eyes.
The middle-aged man sighed, he instructed the youth "Wushang, you stay with him and get him to safety, he has lost too much blood. I will go look for that person."
The cold youth showed a hesitant expression but he still nodded "OK uncle, but please be careful."
The middle-aged man nodded and he took one last look at Bai Ming before he disappeared quickly, his speed was extremely fast.
The cold youth stared at Bai Ming and spoke "Stop moving or you might just die from blood loss."
"Forget about me, you should go after him quickly." Bai Ming spoke anxiously, but he was coldly laughing on the inside.
"You!.. sigh, don't worry. The person that went just now was a peak elemental realm expert. Since you were able to survive, the intruder should probably be a peak bone forging realm expert or an initial elemental realm expert." The youth spoke.
"Hahaha good, very good. Demon you will definitely die, hahaha.....Oh my god!! I have lost so much blood!" Bai Ming suddenly seemed to have regained his senses, as perfectly showcased a terrified expression.
An amused grin formed on the youth's face as he spoke with a chuckle, "Then what do you think I was telling you from that time? "
"Ahh! save me, there is a tier 1 medicinal pill in my pocket quickly grab it." Bai Ming spoke rapidly, his face extremely pale.
"You have lost too much blood, tier 1 pills won't be of much help." As the youth spoke he took out a pill from his robe. "Take it,"
Bai Ming didn't stand on ceremony, he quickly ate the tier 2 pill. For he really was on death's door, but for Bai Ming even a high-grade tier 1 pill would be enough, after all the rotten blood arts had also enhanced his healing abilities.
Bai Ming sat cross-legged and began absorbing the medicinal properties of the pill. After taking the pill, life essence slowly spread throughout his body before moving towards the injury, slowly starting to heal it. The bleeding completely stopped.
"Hehehe, that was dangerous but this is my perfect victory." Bai Ming coldly laughed in his heart.
