Su Ming's answer caused the boy's originally bloodless face to instantly regain a healthy shade of red. Soon after, he let out a furious roar.
That roar was piercing to the ears. It was a sign that his fear had reached its peak.
In the distance, Wu Duo sucked in a sharp breath and looked at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression. He ignored the boy's struggles and screams as he continued stuffing herbs into the boy's wounds.
As time passed by, Su Ming's speed increased. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he placed the final herb into the wound and struck the boy's body with his right hand through the air. Immediately, strange bumps squirming about on the boy's abdomen appeared.
"I won't let you go! Even if I die, I'll turn into a vengeful spirit in the world and take your life!" The boy's face was contorted and filled with endless hatred. He glared at Su Ming and screamed shrilly.
"You won't turn into a vengeful spirit, because once I succeed in creating the medicine, even if your soul is still around, it will still exist in my medicine." As Su Ming spoke coldly, he lifted his right hand and pointed towards the sky. Immediately, lightning arcs swimming about appeared on his palm.
At that moment, as all sorts of plants grew in the boy's body, a large amount of aura of death spread out from his body and filled the area. However, this aura of death was far from enough to summon lightning.
Before this, Su Ming needed aura of death to gather together to create Spirit Plunder. Even some time ago, he still needed the aura of death from his second senior brother to help him. However, after the creation of Spirit Plunder, Su Ming's Origin Lightning had improved slightly, and he had mastered a skill that allowed him to summon lightning without the aura of death.
Once he covered himself with Earthen Lightning and gathered a large amount of it together, it would naturally cause the lightning from the sky to come to him in an invisible manner. The instant they touched each other, it would look as if lightning was descending.
Just as Su Ming was about to summon lightning, Wu Duo hesitated for a moment before he asked, "If … If the refinement fails?"
"If it fails …" Su Ming lifted his left hand and pressed it on the boy's head, who was staring at him ferociously. The boy let out a piercing screech, but his trembling body could not hide the indescribable fear in his heart.
At the instant Su Ming pressed his palm against the boy, with his body as the center, the Earthen Lightning that was everywhere on the ground surged towards him from all directions in a manner that could not be seen with the naked eye.
"Even if he's a Soul Catcher from the Shaman Tribe, it's impossible for him to turn into a malicious spirit, because the moment he fails, his soul will also disappear. Everything about him will be wiped off, and it would be better for him to be turned into medicine." The instant Su Ming's voice reverberated in the air, a deafening boom suddenly came from the sky.
The clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds. Bolts of lightning turned into dragons of light among the clouds. At the same time, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky with a bang and charged towards Su Ming. More accurately speaking, it was charging towards the boy beside him!
A loud bang rang in the air. That sound seemed to have landed on Wu Duo's heart, causing him to feel his skin crawl. He saw with his own eyes that once the boy was struck by the bolt of lightning, his body started trembling furiously. His face instantly became dispirited, and his screams became hoarse. There was no longer any viciousness in his eyes, only fear that surged into the sky. There was even a faint pleading look in his eyes.
Wu Duo instinctively gulped. His gaze fell on Su Ming, and when he saw the calm look on Su Ming's face, a chill rose in his heart.
'This person is ruthless and decisive … His power is extraordinary, and his Enchanted Treasures are mysterious. His Arts are also unheard of. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I absolutely cannot provoke this sort of person!
'Even if it's absolutely necessary, I still have to use all my strength to avoid him. I can't face him head on.' Wu Duo's mentality had changed a few times as he saw all sorts of things about Su Ming on the way here. Only at that moment was his mentality completely set in stone.
Booming sounds continued reverberating in the air. The lightning in the sky seemed to have been attracted by the ground and descended with a loud whistle, charging straight towards the boy beside Su Ming. The booming sounds continued for an hour, and the descending lightning became stronger. Eventually, each bolt of lightning was as thick as a water bucket, and when they fell, it was as if the heavens were punishing them in anger.
When another bolt of lightning came crashing down, Wu Duo was even more shocked. Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately retreated several thousands of feet, because the lightning that descended this time was purple!
The purple bolt of lightning contained a presence that could destroy the sky and earth, and it charged towards the boy.
Su Ming still had his head lifted as he looked at the sky. At that moment, he frowned and sighed. He knew that he might not be able to succeed in creating the medicine this time. Using this method to create Spirit Plunder was much more difficult.
As Su Ming sighed, the purple bolt of lightning closed in on the boy. The boy shuddered, and with the chest that was struck by the bolt of lightning as the center, his body started shattering. The area below his chest instantly turned into ashes, and the area above his chest started shattering inch by inch. Just as the shattering spread to his neck, Su Ming shook his head and grabbed the boy's remaining head with his left hand. The Origin Lightning in his body surged into the boy's head through his left hand and crashed into the lightning that was spreading towards him, turning into crackling sounds that reverberated in the air.
After a moment, when the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, Su Ming stood in midair with a human head in his left hand. That head belonged to the boy, and the neck area was charred black. At the same time, there was also a bag made of straw in Su Ming's hand. This was the boy's personal belongings, and Su Ming had taken it out beforehand to prevent it from being destroyed.
He did not open the bag made of straw. Instead, he placed it in his bosom, then turned around and threw the head to the Fire Ape by his side. Su Ming looked at Wu Duo.
"It's a pity that I failed."
Wu Duo smiled wryly and cast a glance at the thing in Su Ming's bosom. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not. At that moment, he was feeling slightly conflicted and hesitant. When he cast the Shaman Tribe's divine ability just now, he had thought that Su Ming would definitely die. That was why he risked exposing his identity and cast the Shaman Tribe's Art to dissolve the Candle Dragon's power.
He did not know whether Su Ming had noticed this. Besides, Su Ming's ruthlessness and his unfathomable combat abilities had also made Wu Duo rather wary.
The Fire Ape toyed with the boy's head by his side and tied it to its waist. It might have looked a little dispirited just now, but it did not forget to go to the torn corpse of the man who had fought against Su Ming just now. It found half of his head and hung it on its waist as well. When it turned around, the five heads turned around, and it looked a little terrifying.
Su Ming put away Spirit Plunder and green light shone at the center of his brows. The small sword returned to him, and he asked Wu Duo calmly, "Brother Wu, where is the next batch of Shamans?"
Wu Duo fell silent for a moment. He had always been a man of ambition, and at that moment, a resolute look appeared on his face. He no longer tried to hide anything and pointed into the distance.
"There are still Shamans about 2,000 lis away from here. Based on my information, there are two of them, but accidents might happen."
"Then let's go, shall we?" Su Ming smiled faintly.
Wu Duo nodded his head and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming before charging forward. Su Ming followed behind him, as usual. As for the Fire Ape, it continued carrying the battle axe and followed behind them.
However, when it was blocking the charge from the human-faced snake, most of the blade had melted away. Now, the damage was all over the place. Only the pole-shaped handle remained intact. No one knew what it was made of, but it was completely undamaged.
The Fire Ape followed behind Su Ming. As it charged forward, it would occasionally pick up the battle axe to stroke its hair. For some unknown reason, it grabbed the broken blade of the axe and bit down on it, as if it was grinding its teeth. Once it loosened its bite, it lifted its claw and yanked the blade off the axe handle. Once it threw it to the ground, it swung the axe handle that no longer had a blade.
Fortunately, the handle of the axe was very long and looked like a staff. As the Fire Ape swung it around, it stirred up wind and let out a buzzing sound. The Fire Ape instantly beamed with joy and placed the axe on its shoulder before flying towards Su Ming.
Two people and one ape charged through the sky. When dusk arrived, they were thousands of lis away. After a short pause, booming sounds and shrill screams of pain came from that direction. When Su Ming and Wu Duo left, there were two more bloody heads hanging on the Fire Ape's waist behind them.
This continued on their journey. Su Ming and Wu Duo each had their own needs, and their teamwork became better. With the Fire Ape's help and He Feng's occasional attacks, ten days later, there were more than twenty heads hanging on the Fire Ape's body.
No one knew how it managed to hang there, but not a single head was left behind. It looked as if it was wearing a human head shirt.
Wu Duo was extraordinary to begin with, and Su Ming's combat abilities surpassed his level of cultivation. Their teamwork could be said to have stirred up a bloodbath in the area that belonged to Sky Mist City.
In the end, the two of them became even more efficient. Wu Duo would usually search and then appear to attract the Shamans' attention. Su Ming would then execute a speed that shocked even Wu Duo. At the same time, Wu Duo would attack as well. Usually, after this process, most of the three Shamans would die and the other two would be injured. There would also be cases where two would die and one would be injured. The remaining Shamans would not be Su Ming and Wu Duo's opponents.
This continuous massacre lasted for half a month before it finally stopped, because Sky Mist City was already not too far away.
Su Ming stood on a short mountain. If he looked into the distance, he could see a magnificent and astonishing barrier between the world and the earth. Aside from that, there was also … a majestic city that would make anyone's breathing quicken when they saw it for the first time!
"Brother Mo, we've had a great time getting along these past few days. I hope you won't mind some of the unpleasant things that happened in the beginning." Wu Duo stood by the side. There were quite a lot of dried blood stains on his body. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright.
"We've already arrived at Sky Mist City. Based on Brother Mo's speed, it won't be long before we arrive. I still have other matters to attend to, so …" As Wu Duo spoke, a whining sound suddenly came from the direction of Sky Mist City. At the same time that sound was desolate, it could also cause one's heart to race, as if there was a strange power contained within it.
Su Ming was somewhat familiar with that sound …
Wu Duo's expression changed.
