Chapter 29: Plunder
Tang Yin followed closely behind the middle-aged man and the boorish man. These 2 unfortunate cultivators would be his first kills in the yet-to-come massacre. Tang Yin had used the Heaven Piercing Gaze on the duo back in the inn, it was just as they had mentioned. The middle-aged man was in the 4th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm, and the boorish man was in the 5th stage.
The Martial Spirit of the middle-aged man was a coyote, whereas the Martial Spirit of the boorish man was a rhinoceros. Tang Yin followed the 2 cultivators around the periphery of the Middle Ring. An hour passed.
"Damn it, we've been attacked by multiple Low-Tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts, yet we still haven't found a single herb or material. Was the rumour fake?" The middle-aged man spat out through gritted teeth. He and his brother Wang had been attacked many times during the past hour, they had sustained injuries of various degrees. Yet there was still no sign of any treasures, he had started to become sceptical of the rumour.
The middle-aged man turned around after hearing no response from his brother Wang, the sight he was greeted with left him in shock and terror. At some unknown point in time, a black-cloaked person who could not be identified had appeared behind him. In his hand was a long, exquisite-looking black sword.
On the floor lay the boorish man's headless corpse, he had been killed without being able to make a sound. The middle-aged man shuddered violently, he retreated and escaped in the opposite direction with the fastest speed he could muster.
He looked up and confusion as well as unhidden terror replaced all his emotions. In front of him stood the black-cloaked man who had been behind him a second ago. The middle-aged man did not get another chance to think as he felt his world spinning, while his world spun, he saw a headless body wearing ripped long white robes standing erect for a second before plummeting down. He recognised that headless body as his own body. His world was spinning because he had been decapitated and his head was in the process of falling.
Obviously, the black-cloaked person was Tang Yin, killing these 2 people had been very easy. Perhaps this was the difference between possessing Martial Skills and not possessing any, either way, these 2 cultivators were like little children to Tang Yin, he could kill them with a single slash with his Abyssal Sword.
Tang Yin did not immediately Devour these 2 cultivators but walked up to their headless corpses and plundered the storage ring from their fingers. The storage rings contained many daily items such as clothing, food, and mortal weapons. Both storage rings also contained Low-grade Spirit Stones. The middle-aged man possessed 2, while the boorish man had 3. Altogether, Tang Yin obtained 5 Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Just these 2 cultivators had reaped him a bountiful harvest, there were still much more cultivators making their way towards the Demonic Beast Mountain after hearing the fake rumour.
Tang Yin put away the 2 storage rings within his black cloak, he did not remove or add anything to the storage rings. He had decided to sort out his harvest after the killing and plundering had ended.
Tang Yin lifted his hand from under his black cloak and pointed towards the 2 corpses on the ground. 'Devour' Tang Yin called out within his head. The Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit shrouded the area within a black vortex and blackish-red lightning. A few breaths later, the Martial Spirit disappeared.
Tang Yin was still standing in his original spot, but there were no corpses or heads around the area anymore, they had been devoured. Tang Yin did not linger around the area but left to scout out the periphery of the Middle Ring for his next prey.
2 days had passed since Tang Yin's first prey had been slaughtered. Tang Yin was standing above the corpse of the youth, the youth had a hole inside his chest, this hole had been created by the Abyssal Sword.
Tang Yin took the storage ring of the youth before swiftly devouring him with the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit. Tang Yin did not go to search for more prey but instead revisited the One-Eyed Apes cave abode.
When Tang Yin returned to the familiar cave abode, he discovered it had been inhabited by another Low-Tier Rank 1 Demonic Beast. Without hesitation, Tang Yin killed the Low-Tier Demonic Beast, the cave now belonged to him once again.
Tang Yin sat down cross-legged on the floor of the cave, it was night-time. However, it was not a problem since he had activated the Heaven Piercing Gaze. He shook his hand and with multiple clinks, a large number of storage rings appeared before Tang Yin.
The number of storage rings present before him represented the number of cultivators he had killed and plundered over the past 2 days.
