Divine God Against The Heavens Chapter 97: Assassinating

Chapter 97: a.s.sa.s.sinating

Ye Xiao split opened the stomach of the giant python from inside and finally came out.

After coming out, he saw 40 meter long giant python, lying on the ground as if it was sleeping peacefully. If not for the marks of its struggle and lot of blood that came out from its body after Ye Xiao split opened its stomach, people will think that it was just sleeping here.

"Devour!"

Ye Xiao again started devouring. Immediately, a vast amount of spirit energy started to racking havoc inside his body. Ye Xiao also began to circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

When he started circulating his cultivation technique, he immediately felt a very comfortable feeling coming from inside his body.

Not long after he reached the peak of the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. But he did not stop here and continued to circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and took his step toward the next stage.

"BOOM!"

"Ninth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm."

An explosive sound rang out from inside his body and at the next moment he broke through and became a Ninth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm martial artist.

Ye Xiao continued to devour and the spirit energy also continued to rush into his body. He also continued to circulate the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique without stopping.

"Phuu!, Peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. It is a pity that there is not enough spirit energy otherwise I would have already stepped in the Origin Core Realm." Ye Xiao let out a mouthful of air and sighed in pity. If anyone would have saw him sighing in pity after easily crossing a stage and becoming a Peak Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, only half a step away from breaking through to the Origin Core Realm, who knows what they would have done.

Ye Xiao stood up and saw noticed that the flashes sunlight was coming down from between the gap of tree's branches and leaves from the east direction.

It was already the morning next day. He also understood that he spent the entire night devouring the giant python and improving himself. He was amazed seeing that it was already the morning of the next day yet to him, he felt as if its only been a few hundred breaths of time.

He never thought that cultivating could be so much time consuming.

he saw that the morning fog was shrouding the forest and only the surrounding's three and four meter was clearly visible. Not only the visibility very low, but the plants and bushes was also everywhere, blocking the sight of even those three or four meters.

Speeding up one's journey was a very difficult task in such a messy environment and it could also prove to be very dangerous. One could very easily come under the attack of any magical beasts.

"The higher a Magical Beast's level is, the more beneficial it is for me but it is a pity that I still could not hunt down a Grade Four Magical Beast after all it is equivalent to a Martial King Realm cultivator. It was fortunate that that giant python swallowed me alive or I would not have any chance to counterattack. I would have died a very bad death." Ye Xiao still felt a deep fear because of the previous unfortunate event.

"There is no need to waste any more time here. I should continue to search for a Third Grade Magical Beast."

Ye Xiao continue to go deeper in the forest.

After walking for around hundred meters, he felt that there was something in front of him. Ye Xiao carefully parted a bunch of bushes. He saw a lizard that was dark green in colour, covered from head to toe in spikes, and has a over five meter long body.

"It is actually a Third Grade Magical Beast, Ground Spiked Lizard."

Ye Xiao frowned lightly and then his eyes lit up. Finally he met a Third Grade Magical Beast.

Ground Spiked Lizard did not knew that a human was spying on him. It just walked toward the nearby bush of Ye Xiao as there was circular sunlight coming down from the gap between the leaves of trees. Maybe, it wanted to bath in sunlight.

Ye Xiao started to condense the spirit energy in his right hand's index finger.

"Sacred Finger Art."

Just as the Ground Spiked Lizard pa.s.sed him, he immediately pounced out from the bushes toward the Lizard's head and his finger easily pierced through it.

But the Ground Spiked Lizard was still not dead. It attacked Ye Xiao with its tail. Ye Xiao hurriedly jumped left and managed to avoid the fatal attack of the Ground Spiked Lizard.

Shuaa!

Ye Xiao took out a sword and slashed at the wound of the Ground Spiked Lizard with full strength.

"Roar!"

Ground Spiked Lizard roared out loud in pain. It wanted to turn back and attack but Ye Xiao did not gave it a chance to attack and pierced his sword in the same wound of the Ground Spiked Lizard's head.

Ground Spiked Lizard wanted to struggle but it did not had the strength now to struggle. Not long after, it died just like that.

"Devour!"

Ye Xiao again used his devouring ability to devour the Ground Spiked Lizard so that he can breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm.

But he was left with disappointment as he failed to breakthrough this time.

"Looks like, there needs a vast amount of spirit energy in order to make a breakthrough from a realm to another cultivation realm." Ye Xiao took a long breath and left from there.

He again started walking.

Splurt!

Splurt!

He did not walked for long before he heard a few peculiar sound.

"Eh!, What is going on there?"

Ye Xiao's footsteps came to a stop. He c.o.c.ked his ears and looked toward the direction from where that peculiar sound came.

Splurt!

Splurt!

Same as before, a few more peculiar sound reached his ears again. The sound was crisp, clear and horrifying.

Ye Xiao also thought of something and he immediately became even more cautious because this sound was the sound of a sharp blade piercing through the flesh.

"Is someone fighting over there?"

"That doesn't make sense though. There was not any battling sound and also this is too deep in the forest. Who could be here?"

Ye Xiao felt puzzled. He walked at that direction without making a single noise. Then he was astounded by the scene in front of him.

In the field in front of him was a blazing campfire and strewn all over the ground around the campfire were four dead bodies.

These were the bodies of three men and one women and it looked like that they were Origin Core Realm martial artists.

But the question was, how exactly they died here?

He looked carefully and found out that everyone's eyes were wide opened and there were still horror in their eyes. It means that they were too horrified before their deaths. Their throats had been slit and the blood was still gurgling as it flowed out of their wounds.

They had died in an extremely tragic manner.

"Who the h.e.l.l did this? Isn't this too brutal?" Ye Xiao murmured softly. He walked to them and closed their eyes. Then he burned their bodies with the Beast Fire.

It was evident from the pitiful victims as well as the signs in the murder scenes that they had not been able to put up any resistance at all during their deaths. It was as if the attack came surprisingly and slit open their necks.

They had not been able to put up even an ounce of resistance and yet the killer had still slit their throats nonetheless.

How tragic was this!

"Are you looking for me?"

Unexpectedly, a joking voice suddenly rang in Ye Xiao's ears. He was alarmed. The moment the voice rang near his ears, he felt a slight chill sensation at his throat.

Wushh!

Ye Xiao suddenly disappeared from the world.

And at this moment, a dagger flashed but it hit nothing.

"Eh! Where is he? He... suddenly disappeared. He was here a moment ago and now he is gone. He just disappeared right in front of me."

A terrifying voice rang out and a figure in black appeared where Ye Xiao was standing a moment ago. This was the person that had just ambushed Ye Xiao. But at this moment, he was astonished.

His prey disappeared right in front of him.

It was a small and skinny man. He had a dazed and stupefied expression on his face as he stared here and there, searching for the person who maybe turned 'invisible'.

"What is going on? Am I hallucinating or what?" That short and skinny man muttered in low voice. He was still unable to accept the fact that someone can disappear in the thin air.
