The Story Never Ends
Chapter 36 - Trouble

Davion was about to reach the city when he felt a fast-moving thing coming straight towards him from an unknown direction. He tried to dodge it, but it was still too late. It hit him straight in his chest. When he was about to see what it was, he again got hit by a lot of those things.

On the top of the tree, Seth laughed, "Haha..I never miss."

Sylas looked at Seth like a fool and said, "Why are you happy when our target is just a body tempering cultivator."

"Haha, I always feel happy when I see that my dart never misses." Seth smiled.

"Go and check if the boy is dead. Also, bring back his head." Sylas said calmly as this was his usual routine.

"Haha, do you even need to check it? I have mixed ten different types of poisons and put them on those darts. Even a late-stage Qi refining cultivator won't last long." Seth said proudly.

"Just go and bring back his head. Don't waste my time." Sylas said with a cold face.

Seth sighed and went near the body. He took out a sword from his ring and was about to chop the head off when something unexpected happened.

A black hand suddenly came straight to his chest. Before he could shout out and ask for help, his chest was pierced by that hand. That hand was too corrosive; his whole chest including his heart got corroded. So, he lost his breath in a few seconds.

In this way, Seth, one of the infamous killers, died in a brutal way.

"I am feeling very angry. If I hadn't learned the Body Tempering Art, all those darts would have entered my body." He looked at the blood in his hands and sighed, "So I really killed someone. I got really angry and immediately used the dark energy. Who could have thought that it was so powerful?"

Then he looked at that dead body and his mind wandered. "Why does someone want to kill me? It is my first time coming out of the sect. Did he get mistaken for someone else? Was he trying to ambush me?"

"It looks like this world is really dangerous. You will even get ambushed when going to a city. It looks like I have used my Mind-Eye every time." When he used his Mind-Eye, he sensed someone near him.

Sylas was hiding behind the bush. He saw that the kid hadn't died and seen how that kid immediately killed Seth in a single move. So, he got really scared and hid in the nearby bush.

"Damn that black-robed man lied. How could that kid be a body tempering cultivator? That kid is at least in the late stage of Qi refining. I don't even think I can escape from him. Hope he doesn't replace me here."

While he was thinking, he heard an angry voice coming from behind.

"Found you."

He immediately stood up. He saw that the kid had already taken out a sword.

He raised his hands up and begged, "Please let me go. We were paid to do this."

"Oh! someone paid you to do this." Davion found the crux of this matter.

"Yes, yes. A black-robed person came to us early in the morning and gave us his space ring which contained many spirit stones for us to do the job." Sylas answered honestly.

"Do you remember his face?" Davion asked again.

Sylas was about to answer yes but when he saw that Davion had a sword in his hands. He panicked and said, "He was wearing a cloak to hide his face. We couldn't see it but I can recognize him if....."

"You...."

Before Sylas could answer it, Davion had already pierced him in his chest.

"You basically didn't know who paid you. Sigh..I killed again. I should get used to it." He wiped the blood from his sword and looked at his body.

"Eh..Did I level up? I reached level 17"

"It looks like killing a cultivator will give you more experience points. I don't know who paid them but it looks like that person is in this city?"

"But I don't have any enemies in the sect or from this city? Who could it be?" Davion thought for a long time and finally, his eyes lit up.

"Hendrix has missed the morning lesson. Did he come to this city in the morning and paid them? This might be very possible."

Davion had a very cold face thinking about the ambush just now.

He then looked at those two dead bodies and thought, "Do I bury them? The main characters in the novels used to either burn them or bury them after taking their space rings."

"Forget about burning them. I don't even have that ability now. I am feeling bored to bury them."

"Let's leave them like that. But I should look for those space rings."

"It looks like I have to search the dead bodies."

He searched their bodies and found three space rings.

"I shall look at them later. If someone comes over here, I might get into trouble."

He then looked at his clothes. There was blood on it.

"I should change my clothes."

Davion took out extra clothes from his space ring and changed into it.

"Finally, I am ready to leave."
