Chapter 50: 50: Fell Into A Trap

In front of Ash, three men donned in red robes stood tall while holding the handle of their swords. Each was very disciplined and didn’t attack him right away. After a quick glance, Ash could feel their Qi pressure was only at 5th Stage Earth Rank or Late Stage Body Transformation Realm.

On their left chests, there was a brooch with a logo of a black horse inside a shield insignia. The very crest and the pride of the Ma Family!

Although they couldn’t physically fly and defy the law of Heaven and Earth like Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator does, their inner Qi were already strong enough to supply the Sentient Sword as their means of transportation. Ash smirked as he was curious about their detailed attribute stats.

A moment later, the sound of a horse drawn carriage was approaching from the opposite direction as the clip-clopping horseshoes echoed in the night.

"That kid really doesn’t know how to respect others, huh?!" Ash said inwardly. "Hmph! Let’s play a tag, shall we?!"

Ash didn’t want to fight them amidst the urban area since it brought him more headaches after. After he observed the location, Ash opted to head toward the nearest wall. In the next second, he was already standing on the battlement of the wall.

"I’m sorry! But I have something else to do! Good bye, fat ass!"

Ma Jun couldn’t believe his eyes when the unassuming young man in black was able to move so fast! However, he couldn’t let his pride and dignity be trampled and disgraced like this. Moreover, his integrity and trustworthiness would be questioned for the rest of his life.

"Courting death! Chase him! I will 500 Tael of Gold Coins for whoever killed that bastard!"

Ash kept running deeper into the jungle southwest of the city. In just ten minutes, he had covered a distance of ten kilometers simply by running. In this lawless place, he could do anything he wished without worrying about being found out by the onlookers.

Around 30 minutes later, the carriage had to stop at outer zone of the jungle due to the precarious terrain. Ma Jun and the Chief Security of his annex climbed the small staircase down. The tall and burly man with a scar on his head brandished his Sentient Blade forward. He was a 7th Stage Body Transformation Realm. Just slightly below Ma Jun who was an 8th Stage Body Transformation Realm.

"This place is dangerous, young master. Especially at night. I’d suggest that we retreat now and find that bastard in the morning."

"Retreat, you say?" Ma Jun scowled at the burly man. "The rumour that I’m a liar would have spread like a plague by the time we returned! We must find and kill that wench tonight! You hear me?!"

"Yes, young master." Answered the Chief Security. There was a trace of fear and doubt within his voice.

The further they traversed the jungle, the denser and darker it gets. Huge trees with lush foliages covered their sky. As Cultivator, they also had innate Night Vision just like any beast by focusing a portion of their Qi into their eyes. However, it’s still far inferior than any Immortal Beast. If an Earth Rank Immortal Beast could see in the dark for a hundred meters, a Body Transformation Realm Cultivator would only able to see around fifty meters or so.

Suddenly, a distant roar of a tiger was heard further southward. Ma Jun snorted, he smiled in satisfaction. "Hmph! It must be him! Hehehe! The Woods Tiger must have got his ass! Let’s go! If he’s truly a Jade Grade Appraiser, there will be a mountain of treasures inside his Storage Ring!"

Hearing the word ’Treasures’, The four henchmen were drowned in greediness. They soon changed from a timid warrior who didn’t want to die, into a fearless warrior who would do anything for the glory and fortune. And it also include killing their peers. The Chief Security definitely would do such things. Once he claimed the bounty prize in his hands, he would kill the three immediately.

Before long, they found a trail of blood in the shape of handprints for every five trees or so.

’Hehehe! He’s close! From the thickness and the colour of the blood, he must be mortally wounded.’

As they had arrived at a place with many brutal battle marks littered the scene, Ma Jun was even more perplexed upon seeing the soil that had been scorched dry. Not even a grass was spared within the area of a 500 square feet.

As if being cued, a blood curdling growl resounded from the dense bushes before them. Slowly, a ligress whose size was as big as a horse emerged from the foliages. Around its body, hundreds of not thousands of electricity jumped wildly into the air.

"N-no, way! An Earth Rank Lightning Liger!" Ma Jun shouted in excitement!

He couldn’t contain his euphoria as he thought about the amount of fortunes that he would reap in single night! According to the latest Earth Rank Beast Codex he owned, Lightning Liger’s hide and fangs values really high in the market and would be even higher after the cleaning and refining process.

"Forget that bastard for now! Kill this Ultra Rare cat first! Quickly!" Ma Jun pointed at the Lightning Liger.

"Yes, Young Master!"

The four henchmen dashed in unison. They competed with each other to find who would lodged their blade and kill the big cat first. However, their attempt was immediately rendered useless as the Lightning Liger unleashed a deafening roar that followed by its most deadly ability. [20,000 Volts]!

The three foolish underlings were immediately mauled by the Lightning Liger’s sharp claws.

The Chief Security was lucky, he survived the Liger’s claw by a strand of hair. However, his luck didn’t last that long. Just when he was about to flee, an arrow struck his heart while he was in mid air out of nowhere and fell onto the ground like a broken kite!
