Truly Sinister

Shen Ranxi dug her nails into her palm until it bled, then released them.

"Fei Ya, the strong are respected, but that doesn't mean life should be treated like dirt! Whether they're... weak Soul Masters or ordinary humans, they all have the right to live." Running once, twice, three times—she couldn't keep running forever...

She acted as soon as she decided, whispering her plan into Feifei's ear.

"You're so sinister." After hearing her plan, Fei Ya felt that this human's heart was truly black. Still, since she was on their side, it made a beast feel reassured...

"But I like it!"

"I thought, judging from how serious you sounded earlier, that you were going to charge in and fight him head-on." Fei Ya licked her little paw.

"Hey, no need to praise me." Shen Ranxi waved her hand smugly. "The brain exists to think of solutions. Otherwise, how could humans survive even under the harshest circumstances?"

Shen Ranxi gave Fei Ya the Beast Luring Powder she had made and told it to provoke and lure over all the powerful Soul Beasts nearby.

She would give that bitch a grand gift! Instead of cultivating properly every day, he kept using Evil Cultivator methods!

Fei Ya did not have much attack power, but it was exceptionally good at running for its life.

Shen Ranxi promised it could eat whatever it wanted at the biggest restaurant in Suotuo City before it was willing to make the trip.

Shen Ranxi climbed up a tree with the agility of a monkey and waited quietly for the results. Unexpectedly, the system, which had suddenly come back from the dead, spoke up.

It nearly scared her to death. Her hands even slipped from the trunk. If she had not reacted in the final second, she would definitely have fallen and been half-killed. She was more than thirty meters above the ground...

She patted her chest in lingering fear.

She said irritably, "Go on, what could be important enough for you to come back from the dead?" Ever since Great Sage came out, the system had not made a sound.

[Host, if you kill this Evil Soul Master, aside from Merit Points, the system can reward you with one Ten Consecutive Draws.]

Shen Ranxi narrowed her eyes. This thing was being so attentive—was there something she did not know about...? "Do you think I'm capable of that? He's Level Forty!"

She had only planned to cause him some trouble and take the chance to rescue those Soul Beasts. Kill him? It truly thought too highly of her.

[What would make you willing?]

"The benefits are too little. That isn't enough to make me risk my life. I need Forty Consecutive Draws plus two portions of Flame Dragon Essence Blood." She raised two fingers and waved them.

Flame Dragon Essence Blood was the most important thing for tempering her body after reaching Level Thirty. The shop had it too, but the price of ten thousand Merit Points made her give up on it. She had thought she would need to save up for a long time, but now a chance to get it for free had arrived.

[Flame Dragon Blood can be given to you, but only Twenty Consecutive Draws. You must guarantee that you deliver the final blow that kills him.]

After saying that, it went offline. No matter how Shen Ranxi called out, it refused to respond.

"Hey, running off so fast. We could've caught up a little." Shen Ranxi was so delighted she nearly started humming. Today, her luck was unbelievable...

For the sake of those treasures, she had to take a gamble. Maybe a bicycle would turn into a motorcycle.

Before she could continue celebrating, the earth-shaking tremors caused by the overwhelming horde of Soul Beasts nearly shook her from the tree.

Good heavens! She had told it to lure over a few powerful ones—how many had it brought back? Shen Ranxi hugged the trunk tightly. If she fell, she would probably be trampled flat... she complained inwardly.

Speak of the devil, and the devil arrived.

"Alright, did I do well? Don't forget my feast!" Fei Ya squatted on top of her head and said smugly.

The corner of Shen Ranxi's mouth twitched. "You did very well!"

She summoned it and deftly climbed on. "Let's go take a look."

Fei Ya's eyes went wide the moment it came out. "Why does this thing look so familiar?"

Shen Ranxi's hair flew wildly in the wind, but she did not even turn her head. "Of course it looks familiar. This is Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, version 2.0."

"You even got Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong's mount?!" Although Fei Ya had stayed with Lady Nuwa in Empress Wa's Palace, it had a restless nature and often wandered around the Immortal Realm.

Naturally, it knew of the Monkey, the famous Demon King who had stormed the Heavenly Court, subdued demons and monsters, obtained the true scriptures, and finally became the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"You, you..."

"Shh, don't talk yet. We're here." Shen Ranxi had it stop at a neither too near nor too far distance and began observing.

When they returned to this place, it was different from before, when it had reeked of blood. This patch of land had nearly been flattened by several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

When the man first heard the commotion, he did not care. He had chosen this place carefully—it was where the territories of several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts met, making it not easy to discover.

When he was awakened, he had even laughed, certain that some fool had provoked the Spiked Pig. This was a group-type Soul Beast, and its leader was twenty thousand years old, leading the Spiked Pigs to reign supreme around the area.

But the disturbance grew louder and louder, and it felt as though it was getting closer and closer to him.

By the time he realized something was wrong, the Spiked Pigs had already arrived before him. Aside from having thick defenses and a long health bar, this Soul Beast also had a lustful habit!

Shen Ranxi had added a little Animal Aphrodisiac Powder to the medicinal powder. Otherwise, how could she attract the Soul Beasts?

Feifei had scattered a little good stuff around the edge of the formation for him.

The man's eyes nearly split with rage. The formation he had painstakingly set up! He had traveled across the entire continent to buy it from an Old Evil Cultivator at its farthest edge, and he had paid his entire fortune for it.

He had measured the whole journey back on foot!

These damn pigs!!! Scum!!!

They had even driven away the Soul Beasts he had painstakingly captured!!!

Damn it! Damn it! They all deserved to die!

The Soul Beast Mother and Daughter pair that had taken the chance to flee gave Shen Ranxi a deep look.

Looking at the mess before him, his eyes were bloodshot. It felt as though tens of thousands of mosquitoes were buzzing by his ears, mocking all his useless effort!

He swallowed the blood rising in his throat. His sinister face looked especially terrifying in the darkness.

Driven mad with rage, the man had no time for the fact that the leading Spiked Pig was a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He summoned the Blazing Sun Demon Eye Spider.

The charging Spiked Pig leader felt as if it had seen the pig of its dreams and happily rushed forward.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Wrath of the Demon Eye!!!"

On this side, Shen Ranxi watched with great interest as the two "pigs" began to fall in love... Hahaha.

Feifei asked curiously, "Xiao Ranran, why isn't that pig fighting back?"

Holding back her laughter, Shen Ranxi said, "Right now, in the Spiked Pig's eyes, he's a Big Beautiful Pig. How could it bear to hit him?"

"What if he doesn't die?"

"Don't worry. Look over there—something that can bear to hit him has arrived!"

Behind the man was the territory of the Moonlit Night Demon Wolf, which was on bad terms with the Spiked Pigs. It had sensed the Spiked Pig's aura. Of course it would come.

The man's eyes suddenly widened. Why would the Moonlit Night Demon Wolf come? He had no time for killing this Dead Pig that had ruined his plans and only wanted to leave. As long as the green hills remained, there would be no shortage of firewood!

He wanted to run because he could not afford to provoke them? Shen Ranxi snorted coldly. If he had run from the start, he might have escaped. But now? Too late!

Caught in the battle between two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, the man was tossed about like a rag doll. He collapsed on the ground, trying to escape, only to be chased by the Spiked Pig.

A vicious look flashed through his eyes. It seemed he had to use that move.

He took out a black bead from his chest and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto it.

This patch of heaven and earth abruptly fell silent. Insect chirps, bird calls, wind sound... every sound was sucked away.

In an instant, a dark aura spread through the area, and the temperature plummeted. The lush green plants on the ground withered at a visible speed. Low-level Soul Beasts suddenly fell to their knees in agony, while countless sticky claws seemed to tear at their bodies in the darkness like poison clinging to bone.
