Chapter 627: Chapter 626: The Death of Ariel Higgins

The Wengquan Villa indeed harbored many monsters, of course, these monsters were merely the Blood Race.

Yusuf Zuck had brought back ten in one go last time, with Miles O’Brien following one, Paisley Kirk following another, Ariel Higgins following another, and one left in the manor to guard the place; thus, in total, the monstrous aura emitted by the four mighty Blood Races was instantly captured by the three great experts.

Vampires are also monsters, and the slogan of the three great experts was to slay monsters and eliminate demons, or to protect the way by exorcising demons; hence, not having found Yusuf Zuck, they decided to slay the monsters first.

Moreover, monsters all possess Demon Cores, and the reason everyone loves slaying monsters is that they understand the importance of the Demon Core; a demon that can cultivate into a human form must have consumed countless precious herbs and undergone numerous life-and-death tribulations, which is why the Demon Core is the best supplement for Human Cultivators. Therefore, in the Dragon Gate World, monsters are like pigs and sheep; whether they are good or evil, in the eyes of these cultivators, they are treasures, all to be slaughtered for their cores.

Even if they ultimately failed to find Yusuf Zuck, obtaining a few Demon Cores to take back would still be a profit.

When the three of them descended like lightning, the four Blood Races immediately noticed and screamed as they flew out to protect their master!

"Eh? What kind of monster is this? Why doesn’t it have a Demon Core?" When the woman saw clearly these four monsters and carefully probed them with her Divine Sense, she failed to find any Demon Cores within them. In fact, these four didn’t even have a Dantian!

But they indeed had a monstrous aura!

"Who are you? Leave this place at once, or don’t blame us for being unkind!" The speaker, named Rosemary Ross, was Ariel Higgins’s guardian.

Meanwhile, Ariel Higgins, Miles O’Brien, and Paisley Kirk were also terrified, because the people who landed in the courtyard were dressed exactly like those from Dragon Gate; Dragon Gate had sent more people, so the three felt that a major incident was imminent.

"Impudent beasts, meet your death!" The female cultivator looked to be in her thirties and, though beautiful, had a very explosive temper. She didn’t talk much with Rosemary but flipped her wrist and slashed down fiercely, conjuring a palm blade that turned into a white blade. The blade produced a hissing sound as if it were real and moved incredibly fast.

Just as Rosemary was about to transform, the palm blade had already cleaved down from above her head.

"Pff—" With just one strike of the palm blade, the elder-level Blood Race, equivalent to the Small Foetal Breathing Realm, was bisected on the spot.

There was no time for Rosemary to scream or be frightened before she knew nothing at all.

However, as her body was split open, the two halves kept wriggling incessantly, as if she hadn’t fully died!

"No Demon Core!" The female cultivator looked again carefully, indeed there was no Demon Core.

"But her body is still moving?" A male cultivator suddenly said oddly.

"Conditional reflex?" The third cultivator also looked puzzled!

"Strange, strange, what kind of monster is this, that keeps moving even after death?" All three were extremely curious.

"Hmph, who cares what kind of monster it is, just burn it with fire and clean it up!" The female cultivator seemed unsatisfied that her palm blade had not completely killed the female monster. Opening her mouth, she spouted a flame that burnt directly on the bisected flesh.

"Sizzle sizzle—" Like gasoline had been poured over, the flames were extremely hot. In just a few breaths, all that remained of Rosemary was a pile of bones, not yet reduced to ashes.

The other three Blood Races had already been scared stiff. What kind of people were these, able to slice with a blade from their palms, breathe fire from their mouths -- were these the Ancient Cultivators from the Eastern legends?

At the same time, Ariel Higgins, Miles O’Brein, and Paisley Kirk were also frightened. A woman who could breathe fire was just too powerful.

"Don’t move, don’t move, don’t go outside, don’t talk, for goodness’ sake don’t talk," Ariel Higgins gestured for silence to Miles O’Brien and Paisley Kirk; with everyone outside dead, they couldn’t go out either.

"Hmph, this might be a western Blood Monster, so it has no core, but it is useless to us. Kill them all and search for Yusuf Zuck immediately!" The female cultivator stated no more and charged fiercely into the midst of the other three Blood Race experts.

Three Blood Race masters tried to resist, but were still killed in seconds by the female cultivator, and burned into skeletons with a final burst of flame!

"Sister-apprentice’s Dantian fire has improved again, congratulations!" After the female cultivator finished off the demon, the other two cupped their fist and laughed heartily.

"I just entered the Golden Core Realm, so I’m a bit fiery, haha!" The female cultivator laughed heartily.

"Let’s go and continue looking for Yusuf Zuck!" The other two male cultivators nodded and said.

"Wait, no rush, I’ve found a good seedling, the Thousand Yin Ultimate Body!" The female cultivator raised her brow and turned to look toward the main villa’s window!

And at this window, it was the very one from which Miles O’Brien and the others were sneakily watching!

The woman’s gaze seemed to penetrate walls and shoot through hearts, causing all three onlookers to retreat in fear as they met her eyes!

"Eh? It indeed is the Thousand Yin Ultimate Body!" The other two male cultivators also exclaimed in surprise!

"It’s a pity, though, that she’s no longer pure," one of the male cultivators frowned and said.

"It doesn’t matter, broken purity still makes for a good seedling. I’ll take this girl as my closed-door disciple!" The female cultivator lightly tapped her toe and pounced towards the window; the glass shattered instantly as she reached out and sucked Paisley Kirk right into her palm!

"What are you doing, put me down!" Paisley Kirk felt like she wanted to die. Why did people in the Dragon Gate World always like to kidnap others so much? She couldn’t see any good in herself, and besides, she was no longer pure. Why would someone still want to take her?

"Little girl, don’t struggle, your master is taking you to cultivate immortality!" The female cultivator unceremoniously tapped the back of Paisley Kirk’s head, rendering her unconscious immediately!

"Put her down!" Ariel Higgins suddenly jumped out, swiftly brandishing a butterfly knife and stabbing towards the female cultivator!

"Dare to attack me? Seeking death!" The female cultivator, seemingly a person of high authority and bloodlust, glared angrily, and her fingers suddenly shot out, piercing directly into Ariel Higgins’ head.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...." Five bloody holes appeared, and from Ariel Higgins’ head, five streams of blood spurted sky-high!

"Ah...." Miles O’Brien, who was at the window, fainted instantly upon seeing this scene!

"That’s enough, sister-apprentice, don’t kill the innocents carelessly; you’ll accumulate unnecessary karma!" one of the male cultivators advised.

"Hmph, this woman is not an innocent. She has the aura of death and murder about her; clearly she has killed before. Moreover, she is in the minor Truth-Insight realm. Daring to attack me? She’s utterly ignorant of heaven’s height and earth’s depth. Let’s go!" The female cultivator snorted coldly, turned her body, and whooshed away.

The other two male cultivators immediately followed, grabbing the members of the Dragon Group lying on the ground.

...

Pier was now a free agent. With Yusuf Zuck away playing with his girlfriend, he was on a big break and did not have any protection duties, so today he had gone to the bar for drinks before driving toward Wengquan Villa.

However, when he got back to Wengquan Mountain, he sensed something was amiss because the villa was eerily quiet!

"This isn’t right, what’s that?" Pier suddenly noticed something with the help of his car’s headlights—a woman lying in a pool of blood outside the main building.

"Ah, Master Ariel...." As he realized who the person in the pool of blood was, his whole body broke out in sweat. Wasn’t that Master Ariel Higgins? How... how did she die?

In an instant, Pier felt as if the sky had collapsed.
