Chapter 1022 “Refinement Success (1)”
“And…” Little Rice cocks a hair-raising grin, “Your soul looks pretty yummy, can I eat your soul?”
His meaning was very simple: your soul looks like a delicious dish, so can I eat you?
“Pffff!” Spewing blood from the damnable question, Yuan Qiu became blinded by anger and threw himself at the white tiger.
The following punch contained everything he’s had. In fact, the air whistled against the swing like it contained infinite power.
“You all deserve to die!”
With this roar, the old senior promptly came before Little Rice’s face as he slammed that fist of a punch into that furry flesh.
Boom!
This had the direct effect of sending the little glutton back several feet, sadly, it was for naught once the tiger locked eyes on the senior – it’s mocking and poking at the foe for fun.
There’s good reason for that sort of reaction in which he showed of course. Little Rice could tell that the punch contained everything the old grandpa had, and based on the following exhausted and near collapsing look from Yuan Qiu, it’s clear who’s won now.
Licking his paw, the little glutton slowly came before the prey and swiped down again for the third time. Unlike before though, it made a direct slash across that chest and allowed his claws to cut out the heart from within.
No word of resistant came from Yuan Qiu when he met his end. Simply said, the old man was at the last straw even before the final strike. With his heart gone, what remains were a lifeless corpse that has had its last strand of life ripped from within, leaving the blood to freely flow forward and staining the dirt.
Then as if pleased with his own deed, Little Rice went ahead to swipe again with his paw at the air above the corpse. This time around though, a transparent mass like that of soul’s seems to be ripped out from within.
The remaining four Celestial Ranked masters didn’t miss this sight despite contending with Qing Yi at the time. Immediately, all of them felt a frightening chill running through their spines and made their faces shower with fear.
He actually…. he actually ripped a human’s soul out? This is too atrocious!
Exchanging looks between themselves, all four promptly abandoned their fight with the dragoness and made a turn for the original direction in which they came from. As for the demon beasts that wanted to block them, they were instantly turned to mincemeat under their swords might.
This infuriated Little Rice the moment he turned around in response to the sound. He couldn’t accept the fact that someone would dare make a killing of his kind before his face, hence the quick retaliation. And since it’s him and the dragoness combining forces, the job of subduing the four were easily completed without fail.
“You humans have a lot of courage, daring to go against us demons. Your crime is unforgivable!” Flicking his claw, the sharp nail of the tiger easily sliced through one of the man’s throat and created an opening for that pure red fluid to seep into ground.
Of course, Little Rice didn’t let go of the man’s soul either. No matter what the individual was of the Celestial Rank, it’s a great complement to his own growth.
After that Qing Yi also finished off her targets in succession and brought their souls before the gluttonous tiger.
“Here’s your tonic.” Not being polite, Little Rice picks them up and swallowed the souls’ whole in one huge gulp.
Note: Tonic in Chinese doesn’t exactly mean the same as the English word. Think of it as a booster that doesn’t matter if it’s a liquid or solid, or soul in this case.
In the beginning it was Di Cang who forced the fella to ingest his first soul and felt very disgusted by the feeling. However, he soon discovered the benefits of ingesting others soul and quickly adapted to the new form of intake.
