slaughter

ken was walking at constant fast pace and his each step easily covered several meters so the hidden palace was only a few kilometers now but Ken's smile had frozen now because he saw something which he hated , despised and little horrifying .

the forest was quiet in fact too quiet because most of the beasts in five kilometer radius were corpses now . but the fact which caused him to puke was that just a thousand or so meters ahead of him corpses of disciples were lying here and there . the blood had dried already but the torture marks were too evident on each of the 6 bodies.

all the dead ones were ladies and it was clear that they were raped and tortured brutally before being killed by stabbing their vital organs . in the same direction more than 3 kilometers ahead of ken 6 young men were talking with smugs and bragging about their sex techniques casually while climbing the mountain which was so tall that its sword like upper half had disappeared into clouds .

ken was angry infact too angry now . he didnt think about anything as rage had took his mind over now and used his space travel instinctively and appeared before those young men in an instant . he hadn't studied the way of sword but from reading basic books and comprehending for some days , could form a sharp sword with his qi effortlessly.

" I dont think that scum like you deserve to live in this world ! no , it's just that I will not like to let you live now .." Ken's deep enraged echoed inside their souls and the previously stunned young men after seeing ken magically appearing before them from a space crack , puked blood because their souls had taken heavy damage just from Ken's aura which resonated in their bodies .

a huge golden and green coloured light sword formed and ken swung it only once decimating all the young men in one blow . one had his head chopped while others had chopped their upper bodies and the cut was so clean . strangely no blood gushed out despite the wounds but after a second dark blue flames erupted from their wounds and all were obliterated completely not even their ash remained.

ken still carrying an angry face again used space travel and instantly appeared in front of the dead ladies . he just stood there for a while staring at the bodies with blank eyes for a while . he was cursing those human scum that he had killed inside his mind the whole time . his mind returned to normal and light returned in his eyes but accompanied a truly sad expression .

his bloodline made it so that he can see natural aura of souls but now after reaching the earth realm he could see souls clearly even without using any sort of power .

he saw 6 souls which belonged to the young girls that were tied to their bodies with black ghostly energy . the energy was fluctuating continuously and ken knew the reason behind it . the black energy was their force from netherworld that when dissaper , let the souls free . only someone with special bloodline abilities like ken could see this power from the netherworld clearly and even the most powerful cultivators cannot see it despite seeing the souls clearly .

the souls had the shape of their bodies but their eyes were blank . even so tears continued to run down from their eyes as the souls only remember the pain right now . they were weak before they died so their emotions and memories will only return when the netherworld energy dissapeared. powerful cultivators cannot be bound by this energy anymore because the way of cultivation is defying the heavens . so their souls had already became too strong for the netherworld energy to recognize them as a part of system of the dead .

only qi condensation realm cultivators would still be bound by this system so they had no choice but to return to the cycle of life and death. powerful souls will just dissipate before they can return to the natural system.

ken could only destroy their bodies to accelerate the process and let the girls free . he reached out his right hand and a small orb of blue flames appeared. it went towards the bodies through air and reached in less than a second . the flame descended down and when it touched the ground, the radius of 500 meters was enveloped by dark blue flames .

the netherworld energy would protect the souls from harm so only the bodies and the blood was gone now and whole area was black . there could never grow anything naturally again in the future if not for some natural treasure. ken watched the souls who were become transparent at high speed nodding slightly at him and then dissapeared completely from this realm .

the souls were only strong enough to resist the power behind the call and nod their heads slightly but ken smiled a little and acknowledged their gratitude . ken then turned away and started walking very slowly towards the hidden palace but he was lost in thoughts and his back seemed very lonely .

among those girls was a sweet girl who had come from the same city as him . ken liked her carefree attitude and had some impression about her because she was the only one who tried to talk with him despite him ignoring and minding his own business .

he never thought that he would be reminded of the heartwrenching he had felt on earth when his adoptive father was murdered when he had become a young man and wanted to repay the kindness . Ken was reminded of the bloodied room and his father's corpse after seeing the brutally murdered girls so rage took control over him for a while .

now after calming down his heart Ken's eyes had a deep light in them unlike before . his resolve to kill when he deemed right had hardened now after this small slaughter .

ken now calmly thought about his actions and was scolding himself for not checking the surroundings completely but he smiled after confirming the huge rise in element comprehension when he used his space travel . like that he had sometime increased his speed a little and arrived before the killing spell formation and the corpses of beasts that were still inside ...
