Chapter 77: Cleaning evidence
Leon jumped down from the tree after seeing Fengxue knock everyone into trees, he walked over to Yue's corpse and examined it. Her chest had been pierced by a small root that was poking out from under the tree and her head had cracked, blood pouring out of it.
A small paw mark could be seen on her body and the piece of clothing there had been torn off.
"This won't do; anyone will immediately know that it was done by a beast if they saw this," Leon said and walked closer; he grabbed Yue's robe and pulled her body forward.
Rip!
A grabbed the part of her robe with the paw mark and tore off a huge part of it along with the evidence that would have led to Fengxue. After destroying the evidence, Leon landed a heavy punch on the exact spot where Fengxue's paw mark was on her body and perfectly covered it with a fist mark.
After that, he stabbed her a few more times.
Leon released the corpse and took a moment to look at his work of art, he didn't feel remorse for what he did in the slightest.
"Good, now it looks like what a martial artist from the demonic sect would do." Leon nodded in satisfaction.
Fengxue jumped on his shoulder and voiced her agreement with Leon's words.
Leon went to search the corpse of the dead cloaked figures and only found a single pill; it was a pitch-black pill that didn't release any smell.
"What pill is this?" Leon mumbled out loud.
Fengxue examined the pill for a while while tilting her fox head. Her eyes lit up after a while, and she said.
"It's a level 1 poison gas pill, I've seen it before!"
Seeing Leon look at her with confusion, she proceeded to tell him more about the poison gas pill.
It turns out it was a pill produced by an alchemist from a bad sect; the pill would release a large mass of gas with a pungent smell and can poison people just by inhaling it. It would disrupt the flow of Shi in one's body and make their thoughts fuzzy; their organs would slowly begin to fail, and they would lose their hearing over time.
Leon was stunned by the explanation, he looked at the pill with a new light in his eyes.
'Good stuff!' he thought to himself as he kept the pill in his storage ring, this pill could save his life at a critical moment.
After storing the pill, Leon carried Yue's corpse before leaving the place. He could at least help to return her body to her master as his last obligation as her Junior brother.
"This way,"
"Turn right,"
"Just ahead,"
After another couple of minutes of running, Leon could finally hear the sounds of fighting in the distance ahead. With Yue's corpse on his back, he increased his speed and shot past trees.
A few seconds later, he arrived at a clearing with lots of fallen trees that had sword marks on them; these trees had obviously fallen over because of the attacks from the people fighting here.
BOOM!!
At this moment, a loud sound rang out as another tree fell to the ground. Leon lifted his gaze and like ahead, he finally saw the people who had caused this much destruction.
So much time had passed and the sky was gradually lighting up even though the sun wasn't up yet. Leon could see the two figures flashing around each other in the distance while throwing out destructive attacks.
It was Rongyu and the cloaked level 4.
The two of them moved back and forth as their sword and rods clashed; they executed techniques from time to time and caused shockwaves to spread in all directions.
'Impressive.' Leon thought to himself, he looked forward to reaching the 4th level.
"Humph, weak!"
Fengxue's contemptuous voice suddenly sounded close to his ears, pouring a bucket of cold water on Leon's thoughts.
He smiled silently and didn't speak; this fox was a level 6, after all; she had the right to look at those weaker than her.
"Master, is that one kind to you? Or I should kill her too?" Fengxue asked while pointing her small paw at the cloaked figure fighting with Rongyu.
"She's good, kill the other one instead," Leon answered.
"Alright!" Fengxue voiced out before jumping down and rushing forward. Her speed instantly accelerated, and she soon turned into a white light that shot toward Rongyu and the cloaked figure.
The two were still fighting but immediately stopped when they sensed something approaching, the two of them turned to look and were spooked to see the approaching white light.
So fast!
Both of them exclaimed inwardly, the fact that they couldn't see it properly meant that whatever the white light might be was stronger than them.
Run!
The two thought at the same time but before they could even move, the white light collided with the chest of the cloaked figure.
BAM!
"Urgh!"
The cloaked figure let out a low scream and coughed out blood as he was sent flying, he crashed through many trees before crashing into the ground.
He immediately stopped moving, no one knew if he was dead or not.
Rongyu "..."
She was stunned. The white light stopped moving after it crashed into the cloaked figure. She was surprised to see that it was a cute little fox with three tails.
Your next journey awaits at empire
But her surprise quickly turned to dread when she realized that the fox was a level 6 ranked beast and it was now looking at her.
'Is it going to attack me?' Rongyu thought fearfully, she began to rack her brain and think of a way to survive.
Lucky, a familiar voice sounded from a distance before she could overheat her brain from thinking.
"Senior sister, are you all right? Fengxue, come back, don't scare Senior sister." Leon's voice sounded from a few meters away. Rongyu saw the small fox wagging its tail before running toward Leon's like a cute puppy.
Rongyu stared at the man and fox with an open mouth; her reaction was just the same as Feifei's.
"J-junior brother, what's that fix?" Rongyu stuttered as Leon walked toward her.
"This is Fengxue; she's friendly, so don't worry," Leon said to her while rubbing Fengxue's head.
Rongyu "..."
Friendly? Did you see how hard it hit that person? His ribcage must have shattered from the attack of this fox, and why are you being so close with a level 6 ranked beast?
Rongyu felt her mind was about to break, she could not begin to think how Leon got to know such a powerful fox.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you hurt?" Leon asked again and moved closer to Rongyu.
Rongyu immediately woke up from her stupor and moved backward with her eyes still locked on the little fox.
"I'm…I'm not hurt, don't worry." She quickly said.
Leon wore a strange expression but didn't inside and said," Okay," while scratching the back of his head.
" Master, let's go see that person. I felt strange when I hit it just now." Fengxue suddenly said, pulling Leon's and Rongyu's attention.
The two immediately looked toward the direction that the cloaked figure had flown in.
Could it be that he's not dead?
