Chapter 78: Stealing I
Wang Ling began harvesting its blood essence, beast core, and even started butchering it so he can eat some meat before moving along.
"That was quite smart of you. Others would have fought them to the death you know." Bai Xue remarked as Wang Ling started butchering the body of the Devil Horn Buffalo.
Raising his head to look at Bai Xu, he said, "Those kind of people don''t use their brains. If one can win in a fight with pure determination and will alone, then idiots would be the strongest type of people. Well, there are indeed strong idiots but using your head is much more important."
Chortling, Bai Xue responded, "Shi shi, what you said is correct. But I have seen a lot of idiots in the past who thought fighting a spirit beast that had ignited its bloodline was a good idea rather than running and waiting for it to weaken. Some moments I understand that they can''t run away as the spirit beast is too fast and canst long in a bloodline ignition state, but some are just in stupid."
Wang Ling did not respond to her and ask her to roast the meat of the buffalo instead. Bai Xue rolled her eyes but still used her phoenix mes to light up a fire and roasted the meat.
She didn''t even transformed into her Phoenix form and her white body already erupted with ck mes. Wang Ling was surprise and astonished to see this that his mouth became agape.
"I''ve been getting the hang of using my mes. Hehe, soon I''ll be able to use it on fights." She released her mes and started roasting the meat. Bai Xue patiently waited for the meat to cook and only took it out when it was cooked to perfection.
Wang Ling sliced the meat in two and took one part of it for himself and gave the other half to Bai Xue. Bai Xue''s white fox form was small but that doesn''t mean she couldn''t alter its size.
Seeing the meat wasrger than her. Bai Xue altered her size and became as big as Wang Ling who was sitting beside her. The two of them ate and Bai Xue finished first. She finished eating and urge Wang Ling to quickly finish his meat.
Wang Ling did what she said and finished everything as fast as possible. Feeling full and energized, Wang Ling meditated and began filling up his qi pirs which took three hours. His recovery rate has improved quite significantly as time goes on.
"Are you ready to go?" Bai Xue asked him.
Wang Ling nodded and Bai Xue turned into her Phoenix form and Wang Ling climbed up to her. Bai Xue let out a screech as she flew into the air full of vitality and energy. With a p of her wings, they had travelled a long way already.
Although the Ancient Creed Mountain was just a single mountain. It was high andrge, epassing a huge area. Wang Ling and Bai Xue had to fly around the area a couple of times searching for their next target.
Bai Xue grumbled as their first target was easily seen on their first attempt. Bai Xue was irritated and was moving as fast as she could in order to find their target.
"Where the" Bai Xue was just about to start cursing when an explosion urred east of them.
"What was that!?"
A burst of devilish qi erupted and a beautiful ck butterfly flew into the air and started making clicking sounds before that sound evolving into a full screech. The butterfly was beautiful but was emitting deadly vibes that made other''s skin crawl.
It was a level-3 nascent soul beast, and Wang Ling felt danger meeting such a beast. This was the Evil Death Butterfly, his second target. It was a dangerous spirit beast that is very poisonous.
Wang Ling was surprise to see an angered Evil Death Butterfly, he was confused as to what kind of beast could''ve cause such a beast to be angry. Wang Ling looked around but saw nothing. However, that didn''t mean he didn''t feel anything.
Three qi erupted from below and three figures appeared from below mounted in avian type beasts. Wang Ling saw these people and felt the aura of deviling from them, he deduced that they were devil cultivators.
These cultivators held weapons and seemed like they were hunting the beast. Two of them had a sword while thest one had a bow. They were a pretty well bnce team with both close and long range members present.
Wang Ling frowned at the sight of these three. He couldn''t believe that someone actually found his target first. What''s more is that these guys were all wearing the same ck robes. It was clear that they were a part of the same organization.
If he wanted to steal the Evil Death Butterfly, he will need to kill these three. But these three were all level-3 nascent soul stage cultivators and were much stronger than himself. Wanting to kill them all was not going to be easy. If even a single one of them escapes from his grasps, big problem will follow as the entire organization they are a part of will surelye to take his life to ''preserve'' their dignity.
With these kind of variables present, Wang Ling had to think, should he kill them or not? There were only three devil type beasts in this mountains that meets his criteria. These three were rare type of spirit beasts. If he misses out on the Evil Death Butterfly now, he will need to put his bloodline mutation on hold.
With that in mind, there was only one answer to his doubts and that is to kill them all, and in the off chance one of them escapes he will just face the entire organization, kill everyone who tries to kill him, and plunder everything they have for resources.
"Bai Xue, help me out on this one."
Bai Xue nodded her head to show that she was willing to help and Wang Ling began exining what was needed to be done.
Wang Ling exined his n to Bai Xue. Who smiled after hearing it and quickly descended below.

"Senior Sister Yan, should we really be doing this in the middle of a mission?" one of the ck d man who was holding a sword question thedy called Senior Sister Yan, who also happened to be holding the bow.
In front of them was the Evil Death Butterfly that was considered as a rare beast to have a high purity devil bloodline which was rare for a nascent soul stage beast. Senior Sister Yan was in need of such devil bloodline and the two men with her was more than willing to help her get it at any time she wanted to, but they were currently in a mission.
Should they really be sidetracked? If the [Numbered Seniors] were toe to know of this, just what would they be?
Senior Sister Yan contemted on the man''s words. It was clear that she too feared the so called numbered seniors. But in the end, shook her head.
"We havee so far already. Don''t be afraid and help me kill it as fast as possible. If I get its blood essence, I''ll be able to reach level-4, and I''ll finally qualify as a number."
Senior Sister Yan was dedicated and was not backing away as this was a chance for her to improve. If she loses this chance and by some fuck up reason the numbered seniors were to im this Evil Death Butterfly as their own, she will lose it and will lose the chance to be a number.
Senior Sister Yan would rather ept punishment for a chance to improve and be a number. With her bow in hand, her eyes gleamed with energy. She was ready to kill and would not stop until she gets what she wanted.
Pulling her bow ck bow''s bowstring, Senior Sister Yan used her own spirit qi to form an arrow. The arrow was red, and was oozing with devilish aura.
While her bowstring were fully stretched, the Evil Death Butterfly moved and released a mist like substance. The instant this mist started to spread, the nearby vegetation started to die.
With an ear-piercing screech, the Evil Death Butterfly wanted to kill the three insolent humans that was hunting it down.
"GO!" shemanded and the two men to made their moves. The twoplied and went ahead to meet the Evil Death Butterfly while covering their body with spirit qi to protect themselves from the deadly poison.
They shed out but the Evil Death Butterfly defended itself with its wings that was as hard as an armor. The Evil Death Butterfly spat out strings of silk that wasced with its own venom to entrap the two men holding the swords but the avian type beasts the two men mounted upon was too fast to be caught by that kind of attack.
Two overwhelming sword qi erupted as the two men let out a roar and made their way towards the Evil Death Butterfly. The shed and shed to ensure that the Evil Death Butterfly will not have any time to rest.
With every sh, the spirit qi of the two men with the swords dwindled. They were already being taxed with the huge amount of spirit qi being drained out of their body as the protectiveyer of spirit qi that was protecting them from the poison was continuously being used.
The two men coordinated in a seamless manner, they moved perfectly and managed to distract the Evil Death Butterfly from Senior Sister Yan. The fight continued and was in a stalemate until Senior Sister Yan''s voice rang in the surrounding area.
"GET AWAY!!!"
The two men didn''t even hesitate to move and run away from the Evil Death Butterfly. The Evil Death Butterfly was startled. It turned to look at the direction where that voice came from. The instant it turned around, a single arrow came into view.
The arrow looked strong, but it was only a single arrow. How could it threaten the Evil Death Butterfly? The Evil Death Butterfly snorted and was just about to swat away the arrow but something peculiar urred that made the Evil Death Butterfly tremble in fear.
Senior Sister Yan was smiling away as she saw the Evil Death Butterfly''s stupid actions. She snapped her fingers and the spirit qi arrow she had fired exploded into dozens of spirit qi arrow.
A rain of arrows appeared. Every possible path of retreat the Evil Death Butterfly could take was sealed by that single attack. The Evil Death Butterfly panicked and instantly ignited its bloodline to draw more power.
Its aura became stronger and its eyes became red. The beautiful Evil Death Butterfly becamerger. The arrows around it trembled and with a p of its gigantic wings, the arrows heading towards it was blown away.
However, just as that happened, two sword qi appeared from two different direction, above and below. The two men that had retreated was already in position and was ready to kill the Evil Death Butterfly.
The Evil Death Butterfly quickly defended above but a sh appeared on its abdomen as one of the two men managed to slip past its defenses. The sword wound caused blood to spurt out violently.
The Evil Death Butterfly screeched in pain and was just about to retaliate when it felt a very dense and powerful burst spirit qiing from the human female. The ck bow that was on Senior Sister Yan''s hands glowed a very baleful blood red color.
The arrow that had just been formed was terrifying. The oppressive qi of the devil was strong and overwhelming. Senior Sister Yan''s eyes squinted and she let go of the bowstring as she muttered, "Devil Arrow!"
Boom!
The arrow rendered the air and moved at terrifying speed. It was too fast for the Evil Death Butterfly''s eyes to follow. It could not see the arrowing and before it knew it, the arrow was already near its stomach.
Shhh! Boom!
Arge hole appeared in the Evil Death Butterfly''s stomach. Its entrails spilled all over the ce. And its aura plummeted and soon its body did too. The Evil Death Butterfly red at Senior Sister Yan before it finally crashed onto the ground.
Senior Sister Yan was trying to catch her breath. She was tired but the smile on her face defined her happiness she was feeling inside she was finally going to be a number after this.
It was a tough battle, she could''ve died. But she prevailed. The two swordsmen that was with her wasing towards her direction while riding on top of their avian beasts. They had smiles on their faces.
Senior Sister Yan was just about toe towards them, but as she was moving forward a piercing sound of the wind whistling echoed in her ears. She turned around to see what was causing such sound.
But as she was turning around. Her body was blown away from her avian beast. She felt pain around her stomach.
There was already a spear protruding from her stomach.
