“Rampage Skill huh? All those years ago when I first started on my magus path, I named my blood essence extraction special technique as rampage inspired from this, having similar effects to this particular skill, I never thought I would actually get the chance to train the real deal.”
Leylin reminisced about his past a little as he immediately moved forward the Profound Qi towards the lower Meridian steadily in the manner as explained in the Rampage Skill.
After it arrived, according to the spinning process of the first level of [Rampage], Leylin slowly injected his Profound Qi into the lower Meridan. Instantly, it started to spin rapidly. Negative moods buried in that meridian, such as hatred, despair, and insanity, were all triggered in a burst, which turned into a certain force and began to change the veins, bones, blood and flesh around the Meridian but a sudden funnel like pull expelled those emotion leaving behind only the pure inexplicable powers.
All of a sudden, he felt a severe pain!
The blood and flesh around the Lower Meridian suddenly contracted and his muscles tightened instantly.
Shaken on the inside, Leylin began to reverse the flow of his Profound Qi in no time. He could only feel an unbearable pain racing through his whole body as if his tendons were being torn apart. After his Profound Qi reverse-flowed for a few more inches, Leylin made up his mind and forced his Profound Qi up. His Profound Qi jumped across the Lower Meridian and rushed to the Core Meridian like an angry beast.
After it accumulated in his Core Meridian, his Profound Qi spun just like before, which again seem to brought out those negative moods of hatred, despair, and anger hidden in the meridian all at once but because of the expulsion only a sudden accumulation of power erupted, The blood and flesh in that area began to contract again.
In Leylin observation, there was even a vague gray fog rising up from each pore on his shoulder, which was mixed with despair and hatred. It was quite scary!
The Profound Qi reversed again. Leylin felt a splitting pain in his right arm and his forehead which were now soaked in sweat.
Severe pain!
Despite the pain Leylin had no change in his mood, the insanity inside Leylin was like a tamed beast dancing at his beck and call.
Leylin stretched his hand and continued to urge his Profound Qi in the direction of Upper extream Meridian…
After an immeasurable amount of time, Leylin moved his Profound Qi all the way from his Lower Meridian to his Upper extream Meridian near his wrist, all while suppressing the desire to roar loudly. All sorts of negative energies inside the meridians of his the right arm seemed to be brought out at once!
Examining carefully, Leylin found the muscles on his right arm had contracted, so much so that they were much thinner than before. The dim gray fog curled up his arm ceaselessly, conveying those negative emotions of hatred, despair, and terror.
Merely by looking at it, one seemed to be easily affected by its terrifying power.
[Beep! Analyzing… Scan complete, the new skill Rampage acquired! Able to reverse the flow of blood and use the Profound Qi to ignite body potential increasing the limits of the physical prowess! Changes recorded to the core Meridian, alternation of power vein in the body! New ability recorded! Data analyzed! Representing!]
[Blood Mist Spell — An illusionary spell crafted from the resentment of the death, sinking the target into despair. It’s power and effectiveness depends on the bloodline purity and power of the grief cultivator. More killing would increase the strength of the spell as well.] an imaginary 3-D data appeared before Leylin eyes as he observed his hand.
The Profound Qi was moving back and forth in his arm. A strong overflowing power was surging in his arm, combined with all sorts of negative emotions. Leylin felt an enormous power in his right arm, as if it would burst out at any minute.
Leylin noticed a series of violent and murderous thoughts emerging from the blood mist, but due to his steel like nerves, purified meridian, and superior soul power Leylin wasn’t effected.
“Fascinating….” Leylin was mesmerized for a bit, his eyes shining with a blue light. Suddenly Leylin eyes turned focused as his attention turned towards the forest.
“It seems I don’t have to wait to test my skills.”
…
A short while later, two shadows, along with loud curses, were moving towards his direction slowly. They were both warriors of the Dunn family. After searching other places but finding no trace of Leylin, they were sent by Mary to search this area.
“Where is that little bastard? I’m gonna cut off his head at the sight of him! Fuck! My girlfriend is still waiting for me in the Merchant Union. I have wasted too much of my time here because of that bastard! Damn it!” A stout warrior was viciously cursing foully, his face was buried under a heavy mustache.
“Gerry, Be careful! That bastard killed four of us! He must be a tough one to deal with. He has killed so many of us, but no one except for Lady Mary has seen him. Don’t underestimate him!” The other warrior looked cautious, and he kept looking around, clearly being the more careful one.
“Don’t worry. You and I are both at the Second Sky of the Nascent Realm. And we are also paired up together. He’d asking for death if the bastard tries to attack us. Hmph! Let’s hurry up and kill him so that we can leave soon! I have had enough with this crazy place. I want women! Women!” The warrior named Gerry seemed so eager for a woman that he began to shout in the woods.
“Yeah well… Miss Mary is a woman too… ” That cautious warrior mocked in a low voice.
“Well, Miss Mary is a woman. But she is out of our league. I noticed that Master Kurt went to Miss Mary quite a lot these days. Maybe he has had a good chance. Look at Miss Mary, that face, that ass. Tsk tsk, let’s see which lucky bastard could get her. Too bad that our level is too low, there probably won’t be even the slightest hope for us in this life!”
Gerry lowered his voice, wearing a sinister smile on his face. He seemed to be secretly fantasizing something. When his thoughts came to a joyful part, he even straightened his body forcefully and laughed loudly.
“Stop daydreaming! Miss Mary is already engaged. That Rodey Delaney is not someone to mess with. If he knew you are fantasizing about her, you would be dead!”
Upon hearing Rodey Delaney’s name, Gerry looked panicked. He whispered, “That kid is too strange! I have heard that he has almost reached the Human Realm. I have seen him kill! He is unimaginably cruel! Even Master Kurt would not escape if he were to encounter Rodey Delaney. Seriously, we have to be careful. If he heard what we said…”
While they were talking, Leylin suddenly jumped up from the thicket. His Profound Qi was flowing in his right arm like waves with a fierce and violent killing energy which was about to explode from the inside.
“Crap!”
The warrior who had been on alert suddenly paled and exclaimed loudly as he abruptly looked up. After landing on top of his head, Leylin started his strike like a sharp sword. The mist raveling on his arm struck first and instantly engulfed the warrior’s entire head.
In that moment, an intense endless wave of negative feelings, blended with resentment and desperation, suddenly rushed into his nose and mouth. At this moment the Dunn family warrior felt like he was standing in the middle of a bloody ocean with thousands of evil spirits flying towards him, grabbing him with full force and tearing him apart. He couldn’t even think about moving.
“Crack!”
Leylin’s iron-like fist struck the warrior’s skull with a mighty force. With a crisp sound, the warrior’s skull exploded; he didn’t even get to scream before he breathed his last breath. All his Profound Qi rushed out and was directly absorbed into Leylin’s meridians.
The other warrior named Gerry looked absolutely horrified and subconsciously set off his blue smoke bomb. The blue smoke bomb flew up into the sky and exploded with a shining blue light bright as the sun.
“Over there!”
Seeing that blue light, Mary suddenly got excited. Without hesitation, she immediately turned around and quickly flew towards that direction. Master Kurt lingered for a moment. He sneered, and then followed behind Mary.
“You bastard! You won’t get away this time!” After releasing the blue smoke bomb, Gerry was no longer panicking. He stared at Leylin with dead eyes, and sneered, “We have been waiting for you all this time. Finally, you came out. Where can you run off this time?”
Seeing that instead of making a move towards him, Leylin was just standing there, Gerry felt a bit relieved. He kept his distance from Leylin band sneered, “Hey kid, Miss Mary, and Master Kurt will be here in a moment. You are gonna die for sure!”
“You talk too much!” Leylin who was reading the analysis report of the A. I. Chip about the effects of illusion turned his attention to the warrior and said coldly. In his eyes, the warrior was worth nothing, similar to an ant to be crushed at will!
“Verdant Crescent Blacklash!”
With a disdainful sneer sounding out of his nose, Leylin attack suddenly flew towards Gerry, like a caged beast running wild. The white smoke surrounding his right arm shot out with the lightning attack and came right towards Gerry, like a snake.
Gerry was already prepared. He didn’t directly counter Leylin. Instead, he retreated a couple of meters.
However, that white smoke crackling with dense lighting was not that easy to get rid of. It kept chasing Gerry as if it was alive. Even though Gerry stepped back, it didn’t give up and still followed him, with an intent to wrap around him like a cocoon.
Gerry was a little surprised. He snorted coldly and started to cut the lighting smoke snake with the sharp blade in his hands.The white light smoke snake was instantly cut into half. However, it didn’t stop. The two parts of snake rose up and started to wrap around both of his arms. At that moment, two waves of stunning evil spirits rushed into Gerry’s head. His body froze, his both eyes were filled with bloody scenes of creepy floating corpses. He felt like he was suddenly deprived of all his power.
“Boom!”
The lighting spell attack synchronized with the white mist arrived right in front of Gerry and hit him in the face with all the force. In just a single hit, a wave of bloody and turbulent Profound Qi exploded out and drilled straight into his head.
With blood pouring out of all his orifices, as well as a terrified and unbelievable look in his eyes, Gerry’s limbs turned cold as he collapsed face down on the ground. His Profound Qi flew out just like those dead warriors before him.
The two corpses gradually turned into mummies, without a trace of blood on their faces, their Profound Qi was entirely depleted.
Despite all the fierce bloodlust roaring around him, Leylin remained unfazed and carefully checked the belongings of those two dead warriors. He collected all the valuable food and crystal coins and climbed into the ancient tree like an agile monkey.
Leylin sat there and started to circulate his Profound Qi. The Profound Qi that had been flowing within his right arm a moment ago was gradually maneuvered into his lower abdomen, and his right arm had slowly returned to normal.
Leylin controlled his breath and withdrew the negative energies back into his body. The murderous light gradually disappeared from his eyes. Through the thick leaves, Leylin calmly looked at the movement on the ground.
Before long, a Mary Dunn and Master Kurt arrived subsequently. After Mary arrived, she took a quick look at the two dried corpses lying on the ground, and said in a firm voice, “It’s him!”
A cold light started to spread within her eyes. She moved around, trying to find some trace of him. She started to study the leaves and branches, trying to figure out whether he had left or not.
If the target had tried to escape in a panic, he would have broken some branches of the tree or left behind some heavy and messy footprints behind. In that short time, there was no way for him to cover his tracks.
Mary was right about the approach but unfortunately Leylin is at a completely different league and he hadn’t left at all.
He had been hiding in that ancient tree all along. Mary searched everywhere, but couldn’t find a thing. Her beautiful face held an ugly frown, “Damn it! What the fuck! There is no trace of him at all!”
After Master Kurt arrived, he looked around with his shrewd eyes. Then he suddenly looked around and shouted, “That little shit should be around here!”
“Correct! But sadly no rewards for you!” Suddenly a voice sounded from the forest as Leylin figured appeared. Leylin has decided to swing against these two’s hence he came out despite his ambush position.
“You really are up there!” Master Kurt sneered and instantly summoned a dark light ball in his hands, with cold energy mixed in the cluster of light. The strange light ball was suddenly thrown towards Leylin spot in a flash.
“You fucking asshole! Where can you hide this time?” Mary clenched her teeth and also struck Leylin spot in the leaves with her powerful [Green Lightning Kill], mixed with beams of electricity.
“Whoosh!”
Leylin jumped out of the leaves. He didn’t lay eyes on Mary or Master Kurt at all.
