Immortal Cultivator System

Chapter 80: The Legendary Serial Killer (End)

Demonic cultivators were an oddity amongst oddities. There were many of them due to how easily it was to sell your own soul to a demon, at least it was much more easy than to actually cultivate. Having to painstakingly reach the realms, meditate for entire days, absorb unholy amounts of strange substances to boost yourself up.

There was a reason as to why this continent never saw that many overpowered cultivators, cultivation wasn't for the first random guy on the street. Even reaching the mortal realm was hard and it was only the second realm. 

So demonic cultivators popped up every once in a while. Their cultivation method was different than the one the basic cultivators used. You see, a basic cultivator would meditate to feel his own Qi and move it inside his body. It would be refined by the various energetic points in the body of the cultivator and will finally come back to the core completely refined and without a single impurity. It was a tiring process and wasn't even the only thing the basic cultivators had to do to become stronger. 

Demonic cultivators however were very different. They drew their powers from demons and would simply be given Qi from that demon. A Qi that would taint their body with strange markings. Those markings would be like the core the basic cultivators had. However it would naturally refine the Qi, and could absorb absurd amounts of it. Now of course this was still the body of a human, so demonic cultivators couldn't use all of that Qi, but with the reserve they had and how easy it was to refine all the Qi they got, they were insane opponents to face.

And that's something Biyu quickly understood. The leader had been using his explosions during the first part of the fight, but now he had decided to be serious and she was quickly put into a dangerous situation. The markings powered him up and had the same effects as the pill she took, except they also boosted his explosions and gave them this black-red tint. Biyu had made the right call by dodging those new explosive blasts with all her might, because the first random knight they hit was not only blown away but also devoured by black-red flames.

"Ha ! You see these flames woman ?! Do you think you'll be able to run away from them ?!"The leader exclaimed as he chased after her.

In her situation the only thing she could do was give her all before the effects of the pills wore off. It had already been five minutes since she had eaten the pill, so she had only five minutes left to do something, anything.

Of course what the leader didn't know was that she didn't bring only the pills. The prizes were numerous and since no one except herself could take those treasures, Zhao Shu refusing them and Uma deciding to take only what Jian left her, she had takken her sweet time hand picking the best possible objects. 

As such, in that moment, she felt like a treasure elder. She had heard most of the sects had those, elders who took care of the ressources of the sect and fought with various weapons, scrolls and potions. They were without a doubt the strongest elders in most sects, but also the most often targeted. 

And she was exactly like one now, she was the treasure elder of Jian's order. Not that she was as old as an elder of course ! No one ever said that.

"Ugh...Again ? You're hiding something again ? This won't do, you like hiding stuff in your back too much....Maybe I should blow up both of your arms." The leader said, a frown on his face as small explosions cracked in his hands.

"Don't you worry about a thing. You won't be able to blow up much in a few seconds." She said, caressing whatever was in her back. She lunged forward as time seemed to stop for the leader.

' A paralysis seal ? No, if she could pull out something like that she would've done it on the ground, it would've worked the same and would've put her in less danger. Poisonous needles to stop the flow of Qi to my hands ? No....She isn't a ranged cultivator. Maybe it's just a distraction for a technique ?' He thought.

In the end he settled for simply running towards her and sliding right under her before she could land. She tried to turn around faster than him, however she failed. 

"....Looks quite bad, eh ?" He said, his hand on her right breast. In that single instant, Biyu feared for her life more than she ever did. An explosive blast directly to her chest, boosted that much. She was fast, but she couldn't do anything in that situation. Or rather...She couldn't do anything sane. But when was she ever considered sane ? 

Before the very confused and then shocked leader, she moved her body as fast as she could in a way that would have the explosive blast destroy her left shoulder completely, and just as the blast ripped apart her shoulder, she plunged her teeth into the man's throat. 

As a result, she was sent flying away. However she had her teeth in the man's throat and while getting blown away she ripped apart said throat. She was going to die, but he sure as hell was already dead.

"She...She....What the hell was that ?!" A knight asked, feeling like he was about to throw up. He just saw a woman get everything from her chest to her shoulder get destroyed while a man got his throat ripped away by said woman.

And the worst of all...She got up. She actually got up, on shaky legs yes, but she got up. Her arm wasn't supported by anything to it just hung around her body while her body bled like it was a fountain.

No one could say anything, this was even worse than when the fight started. This was a whole other level of horror. She wasn't a legendary serial killer for no reasons. But what got everyone to make disgusted faces was why she got up.

And they understood it as she walked towards the corpse of the leader, her mouth wide open as saliva once again flowed out.

They all knew, she wanted to devour the man. However his subordinates wouldn't let that slide. At least that's what everyone thought, until said subordinates resumed their attacks and started to kill everything in sight. The fight continued and the knights and disciples quickly found themselves overwhelmed.

Amidst this chaos, Biyu walked towards her prey like an undead. Walking with great difficulty, her legs shaking as she felt something strange. She was hot and cold. The pills were already destroying her nervous system, so the pain wasn't nearly as much as it should be, but even if she had felt the full pain, she wouldn't have stopped. She had to eat him. The fight would only end when he was resting in her stomach. 

Unfortunately, not everything could go the way she wanted, and the fight had been, unbeknown to her, way to easy. The subordinates knew how strong and resilient their leader was. So they knew what was happening when he simply stopped moving. But Biyu didn't know. She should have, in that moment she was the predator and him the prey.

A prey could run away from the predator, stand up to it or....Play dead. As she finally reached him, Biyu fell unto her knees, her face mere inches away from his.

But then, he moved. His eyes opened, a wicked smile found it's way on his face and he whispered.

"Here is the cruel thing, my dear." 

She tried to move away, but found out she couldn't. She was frozen. It couldn't be fear, she couldn't fear her prey. No, it had to be a technique of his. 

Before the horrified onlookers, The leader rose up. 

His body moved in a strange way, as though he was a puppet pulled up by strings. His head was moving in all directions as a bizarre hissing noise could be heard. From where she was, Biyu could see what was making that hissing noise. It was his throat, his healing throat.

"W-What do you want ?" She asked. He couldn't have wanted to kill her, otherwise he would have done so sooner. Maybe he simply wanted to make her suffer. That's something she could understand, after all, she was a serial killer.

"My soldiers ! Quickly wrap up this farce. I've had enough fun for today. We are pulling back !" He yelled. 

As though they were a single person, the subordinates all stopped at once, then they bowed and as though they were never there to begin with....They vanished. 

He then looked at her straight in the eyes, and although she may have imagined it, she thought she saw fondness in those sick blue eyes. 

"I do not want to kill you or even hurt you, dear. I want to do something much more cruel...But cruel to who ? To you ? No.....No no no, cruel to...Them !" He exclaimed putting a hand on her other shoulder and turning her around so she could face the crowd while he pointed at the terrified citizens who should've left a long while ago. 

Then , everything clicked. Of course, this could happen too. She had forgotten about it, but she shouldn't have. Jian did exactly just that, even though she thought no one would want her...That guy, that leader....he wanted to....

"Join me, dear. Join us. Be apart of something truly terrifying and yet so fitting for someone like you....Or should I say something like you. " He offered her a hand, but she merely bit it.

As if she would join them. She joined Jian because of various reasons but one of them was that he was too weak to hurt her and he had no other ressources, He would need her. But those guys...She knew next to nothing about them. Hell, she was serial killer working for the flies and she had never heard of that Void organisation or whatever it was called. People kept calling it different names every seconds.

However, things weren't about to go the way she thought. The leader just laughed as he stared at his bloody hands. It then started to regenerate before her eyes, making sick cracking noises as his bones went back into places. 

"I'm not offering you to quit everything and join us dear. You merely misunderstood me...." He said, chuckling to himself as her eyes widened. Surely he wasn't about to offer what she thought he was. This was simply....Insane. 

And just as she thought that, the man smiled like a child and exclaimed.

"Yes ! Insane ! That's all the point, dear. That's what it has always been about for us...Insanity. It defines us, it makes us. What i'm offering is insane, because I'm offering you...A job as honorary agent of our organisation !"
