Tainted will

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Inside a defensive restriction.

Bai Ming sat in a lotus position, completely drenched in sweat. Both of his palms were facing the golden liquid hovering before his chest, constantly changing its shape.

Wisps of golden strands of pure core elemental gold energies crept out and entered Bai Ming's palms as he continued to draw in more energy. The strands were thick, visible, and twisted around like serpents.

It entered his meridians and were filtered until it became refined gold energy which entered his dantian.

With a thought, the heaven and earth essence within him acted like iron hands that gripped the refined gold energies and dragged them into his spirit root. All of it was turned into a small vortex and was slowly becoming a part of his spirit root.

Soon, a delicate yet explosive balance was reached. After several hours of persistence, Bai Ming's palms had a thin layer of gold covering them.

He scrutinized his spirit base, unlike the past there was a new addition. Along with the five basic elements fire, water, earth, wind, wood, Bai Ming finally had a unique element, the element of gold.

Now Bai Ming possessed the right to cultivate any gold path martial techniques, mantra etc.

"Obtaining my first unique element was much easier than i expected it to be, my future options have increased. But currently I have two priorities, one is to get a fire path martial technique so that i can have much more versatility. Secondly, If I could presumably get a pair of wings from a bird type tier 3 or tier 4 demon beast with the use of Beast wings transformation art I can implant it into my body." Bai Ming pondered silently.

A moment later Bai Ming's expression suddenly changed. His eyes squinted, gazing at the dense forest ahead through the transperent formation.

Not long later, he heard fighting noises.

Bai Ming stood up, his face turned serious. His initial stage spirit realm divine sense quickly scanned a thousand meters of his surrounding radius.

After a while, his expression slightly loosened up, as there was no one ambushing in the vicinity.

'A three man squad is engaging against a wild demon beast. The demon beast has low grade tier 4 battle strength, but the group only has a single peak stage core formation realm and remaining are elemental realm cultivators, they are in quite a tough spot. This line up, it is unlikely to be demonic cultivators or lone cultivators, as they usually move alone from my understanding. This is more likely a group belonging to the righteous force, to be accurate it should be a force belonging to a nearby mountain Village. After a month of travelling this is the fist human encounter i have had.'

'I should capture them and get more information on their village. As long as they don't have a Yin-Yang void realm expert, I don't mind wiping out their entire village.' Bai Ming thought in his heart.

Even though Bai Ming had such thoughts, if a spirit realm expert wanted to escape from him, there was only so much he could do. After all even though he had some means to fly, but against a genuine spirit realm martial artist his air movement methods fell short.

But if they were to fight to death, even though he would have some difficulty facing off against peak spirit realm experts. He was confident that he would have the last laugh. This confidence stemmed from the fact that he had the support of battle qi, sword path supreme grandmaster attainment, peak stage core formation realm body and internal cultivation, nine hundred year old flame essence.

But now that Bai Ming had spirit realm divine sense, he could set up 4th grade formations this was his biggest back up.

Bai Ming quickly moved through the dense forest with higher vigilance, his movement speed gradually slowed down the closer he got.

Gradually the battlefield came to his vision, as he hid himself in the shadows.

On the battlefield.

Three injured martial artists who had already experienced an intense battle were facing against a blood fiend monkey that had just arrived.

The aura of death was impending.

"Damn it, its toying with us. We had just faced against a bunch of tier 3 and tier 2 demon beasts and now out of nowhere a tier 4 demon beast and it had to be this accursed blood fiend monkey!" A seventeen year old male Yue Peng stared at the Demon beast with much hatred and fear, the monkey was actually playfully dancing around. Seeing this he coughed out mouthful of blood from extreme anger.

Within the group of demon beasts, the blood fiend monkey was one of the cruelest beasts. It likes to eat people slowly one bite after the other without immediately killing them which makes individuals death a long and excruciating one.

Currently it was just having some fun before eating dinner.

'Only if I had payed a bit of attention on the surroundings instead of only paying attention to the battle we could have escaped this scenario.' Old man jun sighed inwardly.

"Grandfather, what can we do? can we only wait for reinforcements from the clan." A cute, short young girl cried out, as she raced towards the old man's side in the field. Her expression was panicked and filled with urgency.

"Rather than waiting for reinforcements who are nowhere to be found, you children can rely on me. Quickly escape, I will hold on this vile monkey for sometime. Take this opportunity to escape, Yue Peng do this old man a favor and take my granddaughter back to the clan safely!"

Yue Peng heard this and almost jumped in joy, but he was able to forcefully calm himself. He shot one look at the girl, she looked like she was on the verge of breakdown this made his heart feel unbearable pain.

"No, no, no I am not leaving without you! I will also stay with you, Brother Peng you should quickly return to the village and ask for reinforcements." The young girl spoke hurriedly, as she moved even more closer towards Old man jun.

Yue Peng's expression turned ugly, he didn't want to die but abandoning the love of his life was also not possible to him, he gritted his teeth, "Meng'er, I will stay with elder Jun. You should leave quickly and request for back up."

Old man jun heard this and a gentle smile formed on his face momentarily before turning cold, he yelled loudly "Damn brats, didn't you hear me! Go! otherwise I will just use you as baits and escape. Meng'er don't worry I will be alright, so just leave. Yue Peng this is an order quickly take Meng'er and run."

Yue Peng glanced at the old man, then without any hesitation he dashed towards the fragile young girl.

Bai Ming who was spectating from the shadows with his hands crossed, clearly understood the situation now.

'So they are the only ones here at the moment, that's good. This old man probably plans to self detonate and save the children's lives once they are far away, and they have displayed water path and earth path skills as of now, they might have other elemental path martial skills.' Bai Ming's expression was peacefully, only his eye's had turned colder.

Three sword Phantoms immediately manifested behind him, Bai Ming purposely made these sword Phantoms in sizes of daggers.please visit

Next, Bai Ming removed his footwear placing a dagger each inside. As for the third one he placed it in his sleeve.

.....

Veins popped up on old Jun's forehead as his expression turned ferocious, his eyes spewing flames of wrath as he watched the blood fiend monkey slowly chewing at his severed arm.

"Grandpa, quickly eat this healing pill!" Jian Meng'er handed a pill to her grandfather with tears rolling down her eyes, she looked like a pitiful creature.

"Damn it!" Old jun glanced at his granddaughter, the feeling of guilt and weakness slowly rose in his heart.

'Fucking hell, why did I have to end up like this. I always pray three times a day, then why? I don't want to fucking die like this!' Yue Peng was sweating buckets, he was on verge of vomiting blood again.

They all wanted to escape, but didn't even have the ability to do so.

Squeakkkkk!

The blood fiend monkey suddenly pounced towards Old man Jun once again, aiming for his only remaining arm.

Old Jun's expression changed dramatically, before he could even react the blood fiend monkey was just inches away from him. He could only grit his teeth at this.

At the next instance, Swish!

Suddenly, a dreadful sword light glided through the air. Blood splattered, With a thud sound the blood fiend monkey's head rolled on the ground.

The gentle wind blew.

"Wh-What the fuck happened?" Yue Peng's eyes bulged in extreme shock as he started at the headless monkey corpse. With his low cultivation he couldn't even see the blood fiend monkey approach the old man much less the terrifying sword light.

Old jun's back was drenched in cold sweat, he looked at extremely deep sword mark on the ground, he felt both joy and terror at the same time.

But with age came experience. Old man jun quickly calmed down and bowed deeply, he spoke in a loud voice "Respected senior I thank you for your life saving grace, I Jiang jun of the Jiang village will be eternally grateful towards the kindness senior has showed today."

Both Jiang meng'er and Yue Peng quickly bowed deeply expressing their thanks.

"How boring, get up quickly." A voice was suddenly heard before a young figure drifted though the air and levitated dozen meters before them.

"Eh? How young!" The three of them were immediately stunned.

'I cannot see through his cultivation at all and he is able to fly, he must be a spirit realm cultivator atleast. But, he looks so young, how can he have such high cultivation. Maybe, he is an old monster but uses some peculiar art to maintain his youthful appearance.' Thoughts ran wild in his mind, but on the surface he respectfully spoke, "Senior, thank you once again for saving our lives, if there is anything I can do to repay you please tell me."

Bai Ming blinked and said, "You know me?"

Jiang jun was stunned and quickly said, "Senior, i…"

"So you don't know me, then why do you call me senior? Do I look that old? look at yourself in minor you are the ancient one here, even your nose hair is older than me and you call me senior. How shameless, trying to hid your insecurities. Are you a little girl..." Bai Ming spoke, he went on endlessly, causing three of them to be completely stunned and unable to utter a word.

'He is definitely an old monster, with his weird personality there is no doubt he is an old monster. His cultivation level might not just be at the spirit realm, he Might even be a Yin-Yang void realm expert. I have to be extremely careful!" Jiang jun thought while obediently listening to Bai Ming speak.

After a long time, the Bai Ming finally stopped talking. His mouth twitched and muttered, "If I knew I was going to talk so much today, I would have brought some wine, too bad."

Jiang jun's eyes lit up, "Then, Sen.. Savior why don't you come to our Jiang village, we have lot of good wine and food back at home. I am sure it will be to your liking, its just few miles away from here."

Bai Ming squinted his eyes as he floated near Jiang jun, taking circles around him before speaking, "You want me, the great Child Lord Zi to come to your tiny village, won't it damage my majestic reputation. Tell me does your village have any Yin-Yang void realm cultivators, if not then your village truly doesn't deserve my attention."

Jiang jun showed a ashamed expression and awkwardly laughed, "Child Lord zi, Our Jiang village as had nearly seven Yin-Yang void realm martial artists till date, but currently we only have three spirit realm martial artists taking the Leadership..."

Before he could finish speaking, a spiritual dagger flew out from bai Ming's robes as it first pierced through Jiang jun's skull before killing off the remaining two.

And three bodies lay on the ground motionless.

So fast, it all happened suddenly and ended just as quickly.

Bai Ming glanced at corpse indifferently, he quickly stored the old man's corpse completely ignoring the other two.

Then Bai Ming turned towards his right, during the groups previous battle with the demon beast, Bai Ming had already noticed their direction of retreat, from that it was easy to find out the villages location.

The only reason Bai Ming had put such a act was because he was warry of the Yin-Yang void realm warrior, he was not willing to make a enemy out of such a expert for these small amount of benefits. It was just not worth it.

Bai Ming jumped high, before a huge sword phantom appeared below him as it carried him away.

"Oh, I forgot to ask him whether they have any fire path martial techniques. Whatever, I am going to find out anyway."
