Capítulo 13: Overkill attack
Unable to suppress the bloodlust any longer, Shi Yan gasped for breath as he plunged through the dense canopy, his refined right arm surging with vital energy. A ferocious, violent aura threatened to burst forth uncontrollably.
"Not good!"
The vigilant warrior's face twisted in fear as he looked up, only to see Shi Yan descending like a sword, his arm wrapped in a mist that shot out and enveloped the man's head in an instant.
An overwhelming tide of hatred, despair, and other negative emotions flooded into the warrior's senses, making him feel as though he was drowning in a sea of blood, with countless fiendish spirits clawing at him, paralyzing him with terror, and stripping away his will to fight.
*Crack!*
Shi Yan's iron fist smashed into the warrior's skull with a sharp crack, and the man let out a single scream before dying on the spot. His life's essence surged uncontrollably into Shi Yan's meridians.
Zheng Tie, the other warrior, looked on in horror. Reflexively, he hurled a blue smoke bomb into the air. It exploded with a bright blue light, like a miniature sun in the sky.
"There!" Mo Yan Yu's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she turned and flew toward the area where the smoke bomb had detonated. Karu hesitated briefly, then sneered and followed.
"Boy, you can't escape!" Zheng Tie's confidence returned after releasing the smoke bomb. He glared at Shi Yan and sneered, "I've waited so long for this moment. Now let's see where you run!"
Shi Yan panted heavily, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. The warrior's essence that had just entered his body only fueled the violent energy within him, as if a voice inside was urging him to unleash a killing spree.
Seeing Shi Yan only gasping for air without attacking, Zheng Tie grew smug. He widened the distance between them to ten meters and sneered, "Boy, soon Miss Mo and Master Karu will be here. You're as good as dead!"
*Roar!*
Shi Yan let out a low growl like a beast released from its cage and suddenly charged at Zheng Tie. White smoke coiled around his right arm, shot out like a long snake, and wrapped around Zheng Tie's neck.
Prepared for this, Zheng Tie retreated another ten meters, avoiding a direct confrontation with Shi Yan.
The snake-like smoke pursued him relentlessly, as if it had a mind of its own, determined to entangle Zheng Tie.
Startled, Zheng Tie snorted coldly, slashing at the smoke with his sharp blade.
The smoke split in two, but instead of dispersing, it coiled around Zheng Tie's arms, sending a surge of malevolent thoughts into his mind. His body trembled as his vision filled with blood and corpses, draining him of his strength.
*Bang!*
Shi Yan closed in and struck Zheng Tie's face with all his might, channeling a wave of bloodthirsty energy from his fist into Zheng Tie's head.
Blood gushed from Zheng Tie's orifices as terror and disbelief filled his eyes. His limbs went cold, and he collapsed, his life's essence bursting out of him.
As the two bodies withered, their faces drained of color and their essence depleted.
Despite the incessant bloodlust roaring within, Shi Yan resisted the urge to continue the slaughter. He calmly took the food and crystal coins from the corpses, then nimbly climbed a tree, concealing himself in the thick foliage, repeatedly reminding himself to stay calm.
The bloodthirsty urges still lingered, but by circulating his vital energy, he slowly directed the turbulent energy in his right arm back into his abdomen, restoring his arm to normal.
Breathing steadily, Shi Yan suppressed the raging negative energy within, even the murderous glint in his eyes fading away, as he coolly watched from his perch.
Before long, several figures appeared beneath the tree. The first to arrive were two warriors from the Mo family, both at the second stage of the Post-Heaven Realm, unable to project their vital energy. They scanned their surroundings warily, fearful of another attack.
Moments later, Mo Yan Yu and Karu arrived. Mo Yan Yu glanced at Zheng Tie's body and confirmed, "It's him!" Her phoenix eyes gleamed with cold light as she scanned the area, searching for any trace of his escape.
If he had fled in a panic, he would have likely broken branches or left heavy footprints—marks he would not have had time to erase.
Mo Yan Yu's method was sound.
But, unfortunately, he hadn't fled at all. Hidden in the tree, Shi Yan watched as Mo Yan Yu searched quickly but found nothing. Her beautiful face twisted in frustration. "Damn it! He didn't leave any trace!"
Karu stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the area. Suddenly, he looked up and sneered, "Boy, do you really think you can hide?"
Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat, his dark eyes flashing coldly as the suppressed murderous aura within him suddenly surged!
"He's up there!" Karu sneered as a dark light gathered in his hands, flickering with a cold glow before shooting toward Shi Yan's hiding place.
"You little wretch! Let's see where you run now!" Mo Yan Yu gritted her teeth, and her "Azure Crescent Slash," crackling with electricity, also shot toward Shi Yan's position in the leaves.
*Whoosh!*
Shi Yan burst out from the foliage without sparing a glance at Karu or Mo Yan Yu, landing and sprinting toward the densest part of the forest.
Both Mo Yan Yu and Karu were in the Innate Realm, a full realm above him. Without the element of surprise, he was no match for either of them, let alone both together.
"Chase him!" Mo Yan Yu shouted coldly, leading the charge, with the two Mo family warriors close behind.
Karu did not move immediately. With a gesture, the dark light that had pulverized Shi Yan's hiding spot returned to his hand. He chuckled coldly and then quickly followed.
The two Mo family warriors soon fell behind, while Mo Yan Yu and Karu, one after the other, closed in on Shi Yan, the distance between them narrowing.
*Bang!*
A bright blue light suddenly exploded in front of Mo Yan Yu and Karu, dazzling them and causing them to crash into trees. By the time they recovered their vision, Shi Yan had gained a hundred meters.
"A blue smoke bomb! Damn it!" Mo Yan Yu cursed, furiously resuming the chase.
Karu, also incensed, swore and shot forward like lightning, finally revealing his true strength. "Boy, I'm going to make you wish you were dead!"
*Bang!*
Another blue smoke bomb detonated, but this time Karu was prepared. He closed his eyes just in time and resumed the chase as soon as the blue light faded.
With his Innate Realm cultivation, Karu was far more agile and quickly closed the gap between him and Shi Yan.
Dark light gathered in Karu's hands again. When he was only twenty meters away, he launched the dark light toward Shi Yan's back with a sharp whistle.
*Bang!*
Shi Yan released another blue smoke bomb. It collided with the dark light, unleashing a blinding green light that set the forest ablaze.
Using the blue smoke bombs, Shi Yan continued his frantic escape. Whenever Karu got too close, he would release another bomb, buying himself time and distance.
Finally, the stolen blue smoke bombs ran out, just as a strange warm current flowed from his meridians. The essence he had absorbed from the two warriors was purified and infused into his vital energy, making it even stronger and more refined.
Shi Yan suddenly turned, charging directly at Karu!
Karu sneered, unhurriedly gathering his energy. In an instant, a layer of black light covered his body, forming a half-meter thick shield around him.
Vital energy protection!
Shi Yan's heart tightened, but he didn't stop. Channeling his energy into his left hand, he didn't activate "Berserk," but clenched his iron fist into a cone shape and aimed for Karu's waist.
Karu looked on disdainfully, not even bothering to move. He seemed content to let Shi Yan come to him.
*Boom!*
Shi Yan's fist collided with the black light, but it felt like striking a cloud. The black light only shrank slightly, and his punch failed to penetrate it.
"Ha! A mere Post-Heaven Realm warrior dares to challenge my black light shield!" Karu sneered, unleashing a wave of dark energy that struck Shi Yan's chest.
Shi Yan felt as if a mountain had hit him, the force instantly shattering his ribs. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was flung back, his body wracked with pain.
"Overestimating yourself," Karu shook his head, his expression cold as he slowly approached. "Boy, you might as well accept your fate as my drug slave. I held back with that last strike, or you'd already be dead."
"Again!"
Shi Yan struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth, his eyes resolute as he charged at Karu once more.
"Fool! You're courting death!" Karu sneered, standing his ground and summoning the black light shield once more, its dark glow enveloping his entire body.
Shi Yan clenched his right fist, seemingly intent on repeating his earlier attack. Karu chuckled darkly, "Since you're so eager to die, I won't hold back."
As Shi Yan closed in, his right arm suddenly shrank and thinned. Just before his fist struck the black light, a pale mist seeped from his hand, carrying a surge of despair, fear, and bloodlust
