The Price of Obtaining Power III

The Nascent Soul expert sent his Qi towards the Sealing Formation and deactivated a few seals for them to enter and communicate. Kle In opened his eyes upon sensing the changes and could still feel danger from the pillars. Kle In got to his feet and prepared himself.

The Nascent Soul expert was surprised to see the boy he left yesterday jumped from Peak Early Qi Condensation to Early Advance Qi Condensation realm. He smiled as all the more reason he needed to safely restrain Kle In's cultivation and soul search him.

"I have a present for you."

The Nascent Soul expert then used his Qi to bring forward two people who were lying in his boat and whose upper bodies were covered in a sack. He did not dare come close and ordered two of his subordinates to get it closer to Kle In instead.

Kle In ignored what the Nascent expert said as he was busy calculating if his Qi Projections would arrive towards all his opponents on time. One second may be short but more than enough time for powerful cultivators to evade.

However, his countenance changed when he heard struggling voices the moment his opponent removed the sacks covering the kidnapped.

"Young master! Don't mind us and escape… "

Kle In did not need to focus on their faces to confirm their identities. It was her maid, Aunt Mabna'y and Mebiline.

They are currently being held hostage separately by two men and were just force to shut for him to see.

"What do you want?"

There is anger and tone of begging from his voice.

The Nascent Soul Expert smiled upon hearing the young man's response. No matter how much training the boy had, given his young look, he cannot possibly have had time to experience the wickedness of man.

Inexperienced cultivator's first weakness is compassion towards their loved ones. The reason he did not make a move yesterday was simple. Considering that exhausting Kle In is a viable option, there is a slight chance Kle In would implode his cultivation giving him no chance to perform soul search and if that slight chance could be minimized even just by a single percent, he would not mind waiting for another day.

"What I want is simple. My subordinate just needs to touch you. If you make a move, they die."

"I will do whatever you want as long as they live.” Kle In immediately responded and raised his hands to the sides and was getting ready to kneel and beg their mercy. For a moment he suddenly forgot what he had been through and turned back to what he was before the abduction.

One of the three Core Formation experts slowly approached Kle In. He was wary as he levitated and landed in front of Kle In. When he was at the right distance, he swiftly extended his fingers towards the area below Kle In's navel. A formation was activated at the tip of his finger, then sent a violent portion of his Qi towards Kle In's dantian.

CRACK!

Kle In felt a foreign energy invaded his dantian and before he could contain it, it suddenly went berserk and exploded.

He felt his dantian shattered causing a portion of his Qi reservoir emanate and evaporate like a smoke from his body. On top of that, he felt a sharp and piercing pain that reverberated through his meridians. The pain was similar to the Bloodline Awakening but having experienced it five times, he developed an equable body response.

Kle In did not show any indication of being hurt. After that, he felt a kick at the back of his knee forcing him to kneel, but his sight was still focused on the mother and daughter pair.

As soon as he was brought to his knees, the unthinkable happened.

SQUISH!!

Blood splattered everywhere.

The two men grabbed their hostages at the back of their necks and tighten their gripped slowly decapitating them.

THUD!

Kle In watched in horror as he saw two headless bodies fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul expert was ecstatic when he saw his subordinate successfully crippling Kle In's cultivation. He had limited time to perform soul search before Kle In's Qi completely dissipates so he telepathically grabbed the two heads with his Qi, then flew and landed two meters in front of Kle In. His two companions followed him.

The Nascent expert threw the two heads towards Kle In. Fresh blood still dripping on them.

"You killed our brother in the same manner.”

There is a sinister expression on the Nascent expert’s face as he walked towards Kle In and when he was an arm’s distance, extended his index finger towards Kle In's forehead.

He was getting ready to perform a soul search but just before his finger could touch Kle In’s skin, something more terrifying materialized behind his head and before he could turn around, everything went dark.

Quishk!

Just earlier, Kle In's stupor was not affected even with the pain brought about by his cultivation being crippled. He doesn’t mind loosing an arm or becoming slave again as long as he could save the two.

He ignored the destruction of his primary dantian and was still confident he could fight as he still have five Beast Core meridians from his body to rely on however, while he was estimating if his Qi Projections could save the mother and daughter pair, he was shocked by the sudden actions of the two men.

He was not even given a chance to react as he saw the two being strangled and as if that was not enough, the grip continued until their heads and bodies were separated.

Kle In had been trying to force himself to forget all the merciless death’s he had witnessed since he came to this world but with the death of Aunt Mabna’y and her daughter, all those memories flashed back including Aunt Shi's decapitated head back at Buaki Gang.

He wanted to shout but despair made him unable to talk.

He wanted to cry however when he saw their heads thrown in front of him, raged consumed him. The five beast cores within his body circulated materializing pure and bone-chilling Qi and in a split seconds, his Qi formed multiple Qi Projection Hands which extended towards each nearby opponents squishing their heads.

Quishk!
