“Snorkkkkkk”
The divine beast looked at Ye Tian. He knew Ye Tian was his master right away. He wanted to say, “Damn, this kid is just a weakling. How can I, a divine beast, be summoned for stupid stuff like this! The heavens must be desperate….oh well, I’ll just get rid of that weakling beast so I can go back to sleep again.”
Note: I will call the divine beast as PIPO.
The wild beast stands there not knowing what to do. He can’t figure out if this Pipo is stronger than him or not. However, at this moment Pipo disappears from his original place. Everyone can feel the air vibrations. Suddenly, Pipo reappears at the side of the wild beast with his tail transforming into a huge flail that is three times bigger than his own figure! The flail pulverizes the wild beast and he crashes to the ground violently, but not before the wild beast swinging his scythe tail towards. The tail smashes Pipo into another tree.
“Snirrrkkkkk. I’m a bit rusty….my senses and instinct are like those retarded boys over there. I need to regain my original powers back as quickly as possible,” Pipo concluded.
Pipo becomes more serious and takes a first step before disappearing again. Half a breath later, he appears at the same spot and hammers the same spot again. The wild beast retaliates in pain, then swings his scythe tail trying to stab Pipo, but Pipo vanishes again, and the tail swings nothing but air. The momentum of the tail ends up stabbing his own rib cage. Pipo reappears on the other side with his tail transforming into three spears, then quickly stabs the wild beast but it’s only able to pierce slightly deeper than the beast’s thick skin.
WHAMMM.
The wild beast kicks Pipo to the side. Pipo flies away smashing multiple trees along the way. He hasn’t fought for a very long time….. probably since ancient times. His strength, speed, instinct, and senses are currently dull, and he needs to fight more battles to regain his original power.
“Fudge! This pig is useless,” Ye Tian and the others thought in their minds. Ever since the battle started with the pig and the wild beast, the others tried to follow closely behind Pipo. When Pipo gets slammed to the ground, they follow behind him quietly. After all, that pig was their last hope to survive……and their first line of defense!
Pipo furiously regains his balance and disappears again. A breath later, Pipo can be seen in the sky flipping while his tail has formed into an enormous blazing hammer. On the bottom of that hammer, there was a glowing circle with the ancient word “Hell Crush.”
BOOOOMMM.
The blazing attack hammers down onto the wild beast with such immense strength that the impact causes the ground to rumble and the surrounding air to become chaotic.
“Shriiekkekkkkk………”
The wild beast was smashed into a meat pulp, and rested for eternity. The nearby areas sank deeper into the ground and became abnormally hot. After the battle was over, Pipo looked at Ye Tian, Xiang Jiao, then Ma Qian as he was evaluating each individual. Pipo’s eyes rolled in disappointment, then jumped towards the sky and disappeared magically….although, he only jumped three inches off the ground. His body was too heavy!
“Was that thing your pet?” Ma Qian asked, while Xiang Jiao looked at him as well.
No response. Inside Ye Tian’s mind, he felt embarrassed, furious, and shocked.
“Let’s get the monster core. We can use this to enhance our cultivation,” Ye Tian said while ignoring to answer the question. Luckily, the head wasn’t smashed like the body was. The remaining of the body could also be sold for a bargain.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
The three missions they’ve selected were all completed. By luck, good or bad, another bonus was that they were able to obtain the monster core of the peak infinite dao realm. With their current cultivation, they could use this massive energy core to increase their cultivation. They went back to the guild branch. On the way, they all kept quiet not knowing what to say. They could only see Ye Tian was in a bad mood.
“Not bad. Three bounty missions completed. Two three stars and one four star missions. Wait….what? you also killed a peak infinite dao beast?” Wang Rong asked.
The party already arrived and headed directly to the guild branch to collect their rewards.
“That’s right, I killed that little beast. No biggie,” Ma Qian tried to impress her.
“Ms. Wang Rong, we just got lucky. Someone else killed it and left the body there,” Xiang Jiao told the truth.
Wang Rong glanced at Ye Tian for an answer, only to see Ye Tian nodded without speaking a word. Wang Rong felt something was odd with Ye Tian. He was usually very well-mannered, so she didn’t want to ask any further.
“Alright, here’s 50,000 zoids for the missions you’ve completed. And another 20,000 zoids for the peak infinite dao beast. It’s unfortunate….if it was still in good condition, it could’ve gotten around 60,000-80,000 zoids. This is your card and all your zoids are stored in here. You can use it to make transactions throughout this world,” Wang Rong explained and gave them the card.
She continued, “By the way, we sell armors, weapons, martial scrolls, potions, and other stuff that you might need for future missions. Just go to the second to fourth floor. You’ll find some interesting stuff.”
“Ms. Wang Rong, may I exchange 1,000 zoids in physical form. You can subtract it from the card,” Xiang Jiao asked.
Wang Rong gave Xiang Jiao 1,000 zoids. The zoids looked like bright diamonds with holes in the middle, and there were 10 of them, each equaling 100 zoids. Xiang Jiao then took out a golden string and inserted it between the zoids. Now all the zoids are hung on the string, where Xiang Jiao hung it on his neck….Bling, Bling!
“I’m going back to the inn. If you guys want to look at the upper floors, make sure you leave 40,000 zoids on the card,” Ye Tian said, and left the building.
Ma Qian and Xiang Jiao decided to go up to the second floor before Ma Qian left a love letter to Wang Rong. On the second floor, there were security guards checking their identity, because all the items here were exclusively for guild members and a few special guest with powerful backgrounds. Xiang Jiao had to split his massive beads into arm and ankle bracelets.
The second floor sold armors and weapons. As they passed by different people and vendors, Xiang Jiao got their attention with the bling bling hanging on his neck. Everyone thought, was he someone famous? Meanwhile, Ma Qian was looking for some armors he needed badly after getting beaten unconscious inside the forest.
“How much is this?”
“10,000 zoids.”
“What? Are you crazy. Do you think we look like fools?”
“Yes, I do actually.”
Ma Qian became furious, but luckily Xiang Jiao took a chance in negotiating. “Lady butterfly, my friend and I are in need of some armors. My friend looks dumb, but he’s a righteous person. As for me…..it is true that I’m lacking. I have been living in the temple all my life and have never experienced the outside world until these past few days. And in these past few days, only you resemble the purple butterfly that I’ve been fond of during my temple days,” Xiang Jiao said with a bashful cheek while scratching his head. Ma Qian was speechless. He never thought this monk had a natural way of enticing others, and most important of all he felt wronged to be accused of being dumb.
People’s first impression of Xiang Jiao was that he looked intimidating with the long braided pony tail and the forehead mark he had. But he had always negate that impression while walking with his head down and his hands palmed together like a peaceful monk.
“Oh Sirrr, I was mistaken. I did not mean to insult you. When I looked at you, I knew you were a righteous person. What I said earlier, was towards that other man” the lady said. She was enamored by Xiang Jiao’s humble words and uniquely handsome looks after getting a close look at him. Monks were usually bald, but not Xiang Jiao. He certainly carried a different aura with that intimidating hair and sharp facial features. If he wasn’t wearing a robe monk, many people would’ve assumed he was a powerful warrior that was from a high noble birth.
Many would say he’s like the bad boy version of a monk. Peaceful yet violent. Quiet yet rebellious. Shy yet quite the charmer. You just don’t know what you’re going to get with this guy!
