Ultimate Devouring System novel - chapter 15

chapter 15 acquaintance

 

“Who are you?”

 

 

The Knife Scar man spat out these three words with difficulty.

 

 

This was probably the last question he would ever ask in his life.

 

 

“Ye Xuan!”

 

 

Ye Xuan casually swung his sword and flung the blood dry. Then, he watched as Knife Scar fell to the ground and started to twitch.

 

 

Not long after, the Knife Scar male’s trachea was blocked by fresh blood that was spewing out of her mouth.

 

 

As for the skinny man who was slashed into two by Ye Xuan, he was already dead.

 

 

Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Ye Xuan took a deep breath of cold air. These few days he had killed many Demon Beast s and seen countless corpses, but this was the first time he had personally killed someone.

 

 

“This is the feeling after killing for the first time, it doesn’t feel like much.” Ye Xuan shook his head, and kept the sword back into its sheath.

 

 

Then, he took off their bags.

 

 

Of the two people, one was in the middle of the fourth stage of Martial Dao and the other was a Fourth Peak Level.

 

 

Sure enough, after Ye Xuan made some calculations, his face still lost all color. The things inside the bags of the two of them were worth around 200,000 silver.

 

 

“Swallow them all. The higher the strength, the better!”

 

 

Ye Xuan had swallowed all of these Dan, Demon Beast materials and Treasures at one go, causing his strength to increase a little more.

 

 

“No wonder so many people are killing people for their treasures. Money comes in this way very quickly, but if one’s eyesight isn’t good enough to offend experts then they would have to pay the price of blood.”

 

 

After Ye Xuan said these words, he was just about to leave when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

 

 

He could swallow the Demon Beast’s corpse, but what about the human corpse?

 

 

“Although it’s a bit unkind, let’s give it a try.”

 

 

Ye Xuan thought of this, and then crouched beside the now dead Knife Scar male. He lightly placed his hand on his body, and at the same time, muttered in his heart: “Devour!”

 

 

“Unable to swallow human corpses!”

 

 

The system prompted.

 

 

“As expected, it doesn’t work.”

 

 

Hearing the notification, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. If he could devour the corpse, he was afraid that he would turn into a homicidal maniac.

 

 

Since it was impossible, he chose to turn around and leave.

 

 

After devouring a large amount of good stuff, he was now one step closer to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.

 

 

However, when he thought about how Liu’er was still waiting at Lianyun City’s home, in order to not worry Liu’er, he still chose to return. Of course, it was to kill his way back.

 

 

Since entering the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range, Ye Xuan did not know why, but he had not encountered many humans. Today, the two Warrior s were the first time he had met them.

 

 

However, as he was walking towards the mountain range entrance, he encountered a second group of people.

 

 

At this time, when Ye Xuan heard the running footsteps behind him, he also stopped in the middle of the grassland. He turned around to look, only to see a white figure quickly rushing towards him.

 

 

“He was also wearing a bamboo hat, but he looks like a woman.” Ye Xuan thought in his heart, and quietly watched.

 

 

The lady was about a few hundred metres away from him, but what surprised Ye Xuan was that she was rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

 

 

“Such a fast speed, he probably cultivated a fourth stage or higher movement Martial Arts.” Ye Xuan was shocked.

 

 

He also had movement Martial Arts on him, and it was only at the fourth stage as well, but he was a Ye Family from one of the Lianyun City s.

 

 

One had to know that a fourth grade movement technique was probably worth a million silver, which was not something an ordinary person could possess.

 

 

Out of curiosity, Ye Xuan did not dodge and just stood there quietly.

 

 

The white-clothed woman’s speed was extremely quick, and in less than half a minute, she had already arrived several tens of meters away from Ye Xuan. After the woman saw Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange light as she asked: “This friend, can you help me?”

 

 

“Hmm? Again? ” Ye Xuan was already feeling helpless, he had just killed two of the people who wanted to kill him, and now another one had come.

 

 

However, in the next moment, he was also startled because his guess was wrong. This woman in white was about the same age as him, so he could tell from her voice.

 

 

However, the bamboo hat woman still wore a veil, preventing Ye Xuan from seeing her face.

 

 

“What can I do?” Ye Xuan tensed up, because the woman’s was extremely profound and her strength was probably even stronger than the man from the Knife Scar.

 

 

The bamboo hat woman revealed a happy expression, she carefully sized Ye Xuan up and said: “There’s someone behind me that wants to kill me to steal my treasure, they’ve chased me for a long time, can you chase him away with me?”

 

 

“Murder for treasures?”

 

 

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s brows knitted even more tightly. At this moment, his eyes narrowed once more. Indeed, there was someone rushing towards them from a thousand meters away.

 

 

“What’s the strength of this person?” Ye Xuan asked slowly, he believed in the bamboo hat woman for now.

 

 

The bamboo hat young lady hesitated for a moment, then replied: “Martial Dao Level 5 Beginning!”

 

 

“What?” An early stage of the fifth stage of Martial Dao? ” Ye Xuan was also shocked, and asked: “What about you?”

 

 

“I am in the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao, but I am not his opponent. Furthermore, from the looks of it, you should be from a large clan and your strength should be extraordinary. The bamboo hat young lady said with a pale face. It was the aftereffect of running a long distance using her Martial Arts.

 

 

Right now, Ye Xuan was at the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. However, he was still too young and lacked combat experience. If he really was an expert, then he would be finished.

 

 

“Miss, we just met by chance, and it’s our first time meeting, yet you asked me to help you, my opponent is a Strongman like you, I’m afraid ?” Ye Xuan frowned. In this wilderness, one must be on guard, and must not let the girl in front of him slip away just because she’s a girl.

 

 

What if this woman was with the person chasing after them?

 

 

It would be a tragedy if the girl suddenly attacked him while he was helping.

 

 

“Huh?”

 

 

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to finish speaking, the young lady in the bamboo hat suddenly asked a question. She jogged a little more and stopped ten metres away from Ye Xuan.

 

 

“Ye Xuan?” The bamboo hat young lady exclaimed.

 

 

Ye Xuan was even more surprised and asked in surprise: “You know me?”

 

 

He was also drunk. To be able to run into someone he knew in this wilderness, his luck was quite good. However, he could not figure out who this young girl was, but her voice sounded quite familiar.

 

 

The girl was also unsure, but when she saw Ye Xuan’s expression, she immediately took off her bamboo hat.

 

 

Under the conical bamboo hat was an exquisite little face. It was carved with jade and looked like a porcelain doll.

 

 

Ye Xuan looked at her face. It felt a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it was.
