Chapter 116 116: Even I Can Kill Him



****

"Are you sure we are going to find that herb on this mountain?"

A group of youngsters were walking up the mountain. Along the way, they came across many fierce beasts, but thanks to their cooperation, they were able to take care of the beasts before much harm could come to them. 

The person leading the group was a young man, seemingly only in his early twenties. 

He didn't appear very strong. If anything, the young man looked like a scholar who used his brain more than his hands. 

In fact, the young man often went to the back, whenever a fight started. He didn't take part in a single battle. 

"Of course it is true! This idiot found that herb in the Mountain and like a good little boy, he told everything to me!" A young girl laughed, hugging the arm of the bulky man sweetly. 

The face of the frail man in the lead twisted as he heard the words of the woman behind him. His fists were tightly clenched but he didn't say anything. 

He still couldn't believe it. The woman he loved the most, would do something like that!

"Hahaha, of course he would do it! Who would be able to avoid your charm, sweetheart." The bulky man laughed heartily, wrapping his arms around the waist of the woman tightly. "He didn't even know that you had already become mine by then!" 

"Brother Duan is much better than that useless guy who can't even cultivate! The herbs are a waste in his hand! I still can't believe that he's your cousin!" The woman smiled like a cute little kitten as her face turned red, noticing where the bulky man's hands moved. 

The frail looking man clenched his teeth, accidentally biting his lips and making them bleed. 

Unlike everyone else here, he was much weaker. He couldn't gather any Celestial Aura. He also hadn't awakened any Celestial Spirit!

On the other hand, the bulky man was very famous in the entire Kingdom! In the Kingdom, he was one of the only few youngsters who had managed to awaken a Three Star Celestial Spirit. It was said that his future was bright!

Even though the frail looking man was from the same clan, he was neglected and despised for being useless. 

The frail looking man was called Duan Mu. He was someone who was very famous when he was little. He started speaking at the age of two, started writing at the age of five, and started composing poems at the age of eight. 

He was said to be a genius but it all changed when he failed to awaken his Celestial Spirit at all. 

Without strength, he was no different than a dog who could be killed at any time by these people. He didn't think that the Duan Clan was even going to care if he actually died here. If anything, they would be happy that the embarrassment of the clan was gone. 

Even when he was despised, he still didn't care. But now... He felt disgusted at himself for being so weak! He couldn't help but curse heaven for being so unfair to him. 

With time, he came to despise Heaven themselves, ready to sell his soul to the Devil if he could gain some strength in exchange. 

"Remember, Duan Mu! If I find out that you lied to us, or tried to fool us, it won't be good for you! If we don't get the herb, then I'll make sure that even your body couldn't be found for your mother to bury you properly! Who knows, I might beat that bit*h to death as well in anger!"

The Bulky Man's voice became deeper, and he sounded serious as well. 

"You!" The Frail looking young man called Duan Mu turned around, his eyes revealed a trace of killing intent.

However, the next moment, a palm landed on his face, sending him flying!

"How dare you look at Brother Duan Yang like that?!"

Duan Mu's eyes trembled in disbelief to the point that he even forgot the physical pain! He was slapped by none other than the woman he did everything for!

Not only did she abandon him for a more powerful person, but she didn't show any remorse either!

"Duan Mu, it looks like you still live in the past, when you were considered a Genius. But don't forget, you're nothing now. I can crush you like an ant! So be a good dog and sniff out that herb for me, if you want your and your mother's safety!" 

The Bulky Man placed his foot on the head of Duan Mu, but he didn't apply any pressure, worried he might crack the young man's skull!

Duan Mu clenched his fist, but he didn't resist. 

"We are nearby. Only a few minutes." For the life of his mother, he gave up his dignity and his pride as well. 

"That's like my good dog!" Duan Yang took off his foot, nodding in satisfaction. 

Duan Mu stood up. He didn't even pat his clothes that were covered in dirt. His eyes were lifeless as he walked toward the destination. 

He didn't realize that the pendant that he never took off, had started shining a little. 

Duan Mu led everyone to the destination where he saw that precious herb!

"We found it!" Duan Yang exclaimed. However, his face revealed a look of surprise as he noticed another person who was right next to the herb. 

It was a young man, whose long dark hair fluttered with the wind. Duan Yang and the others couldn't see the face of that man. 

"To think that I would find something like this in a lower world... These places are really untapped treasure troves," Xu Shan reached out his hand to pick up the herb. 

When he was on his way to find more about this world, he came across this herb and just stopped to take it. 

"Stop right there!" The girl next to Duan Yang exclaimed with authority, as if she was talking to a slave. "If you don't want to die, take your hands off right now!"

"Huh?" Xu Shan frowned. He turned around, glancing at the ground of youngsters behind him. 

"A Star Mark?! He's a Celestial Warrior as well? But why is his Star Mark in his eyes?" One of the youngsters exclaimed in surprise. 

"So what if he has a Star Mark? Can't you see it's just One Star? Moreover, I can't sense his aura! He's pathetic! Don't tell me you're scared of him with Brother Duan around! Even I can kill that guy with a single slap!" The young woman scoffed.
