Leylin left swiftly from the scene as Mary who was thrown away previously returned and suddenly stopped.
Next to her was a body on the ground, as she stood with a grave expressions on her face.
On the ground, lied Master Kurt's decapitated corpse that was not completely dried up yet. However, the corpse had already been deprived of all its Profound Qi and lay there shriveled as a mummy, as if all of its moisture was taken out.
Looking at the scene, Mary had terror in her eyes and her expression unbelieving.
Mary walked closer to inspect and see for sure if she saw wrong, her body was trembling. After a while, she finally muttered with a frown, "Its no longer something I can take care off!"
'Master Kurt had already achieved the Second Sky of the Nascent Realm, the same level as me. Moreover, he had far more fighting experience than I do.' Mary shook her head in exhaustion, "It doesn't matter how he killed Master Kurt, nevertheless this means that he is capable of killing me right now as well. If I keep chasing him, it's possible that I won't be able to make it back to the Merchant Union alive."
"But? I have gone through a whole lot of trouble in order to get Master Kurt to work for me!"
Mary kneeled down beside the cold corpse of Master Kurt and searched through his body. She clenched her teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Shit! That bastard took everything from Master Kurt, all the medicine, and medical books. Not to mention all the warriors he killed, now I only have a few mere injured elementary rank warriors. This time all my efforts were for nothing."
"I would surely make you pay!" Mary took a deep breath. Then, she stood up and turned back to the way they came. From that moment on, she really hated Leylin's guts.
...
On the other side, Leylin was still running far in the Dark Forest his face paled.
Suddenly, the corner of his mouth leaked with a small stream of blood gushing outward.
Even worse, he was extremely weak and tired. He couldn't gather much strength in his arms or legs. If he fought with Mary at this moment, he would be cornered for sure.
[Beep! Host's body suffering from cracked sternum, dislocated hip and a few broken ribs. The body underwent special technique to raise his strength and due to using [Rampage] suffered from exhaustion because of a weaker psyche than required!]
"He sure did a number on me with that punch!" Leylin lamented as he cursed Kurt's seven generation, irrespective of his special case Leylin did fought against someone a realm higher than him. Leylin as he is now, isn't suitable to use rampage recurrently because even with his amazing means he has only reincarnated for a few days only! His constant growth and evolution hasn't been totally digested by his body yet.
Still Leylin never expected his body to react in such a strange way. Previously against Kurt Leylin used a movement technique of a high grade Knight mediation method from Magus World in order to avoid his attack even still he suffered from minor injuries.
Currently with his level of pain tolerance, Leylin isn't worried about his injuries which are minor to say the least especially for a warriors at the cusp of Nascent Realm, the more concerning matter is his tired body which needs a good rest.
As expected, the exhaustion and inquires became aggrieved and spread faster after the Profound Qi was drawn back. A wave of agony attacked his whole body.
Just as Leylin was about to check through the loot of Kurt to look for a healing product, he felt a sudden change in the injured part of his body!
The cells there came back to life! A weak power wove through the ruptured areas as if an invisible hand was joining up his bone fractures.
Leylin was slightly stunned but instantly smiled.
Although he was fully prepared to heal himself. He quickly calmed down and concentrated on observing the changes inside of his body.
'Marvelous indeed, so this is the immortal martial spirit the true innate skill of Lenoir's body from his father side.'
"A.I.Chip observe the changes in my body!"
His cells were full of life, while the small bone cracks and ripped muscle twitched slightly and recovered gradually. After a few moments, the body parts had recovered and the pain had disappeared.
A bolt flashed through Leylin's body and he was ecstatic in his heart. However, his face still looked as calm as a lake, as if he was in a deep sleep.
The ability that could operate without Profound Qi is a special Martial Spirit!
[Beep! Innate body skill (immortal martial skill) capable to recover the body back to the normal state, recovery possible from sickness, injury, poison and all abnormal state, the regeneration ability depends on the legality of the state as well as the liveliness and purity of the bloodline.]
Pondering on it for a while, Leylin observed the special Martial Spirit that brought about the changes to his body.
Self-recovery of the body was an undiscovered special ability!
With his cells brimming with life, the injured part recovered in a short period of time!
The pain was relived instantly as the self-recovery Martial Spirit activated.
A Martial Spirit increased in strength as the level of the Warrior increased, and sometimes it might undergo a special change. The higher the level of a Warrior, the stronger the abilities their Martial Spirit showed.
According to the ability of the self-recovery Martial Spirit, his self-recovery ability would increase as his level increased. When he reaches the higher realm, he could even cure broken limbs with the self-recovery Martial Spirit.
He could even recover from a stab to the heart and survive!
...
"I really wish to reach that level as soon as possible!"
As Leylin was immersed in examining his body, suddenly from a distance, a beautiful music suddenly flew into his ears. The music was like water drops falling onto a jade plate, like the wind shuttling through a silk curtain. It was as soft as a bird flapping its wings, as light as a gentle stream flowing through a quiet forest. The music was so beautiful, so peaceful as if it flew down from Heaven.
The beautiful music was like a soft hand soothing his heart.
Leylin slowly turned in the direction of that music with an interested expression. He felt like his whole body was soaking in the carefree world made by the beautiful music, and all the bloodlust and soreness of his body had totally disappeared into nothing...
"The hands of destiny truly works it's wonders, it seems I have some fate with this person. Unfortunately.." Leylin walked outside the forest as he contemplated, he knew that the music is coming from a women playing a magical zither node and she possess a special martial spirit capable to soothing people soul, Leylin would have needed her if he had the problem with the insanity impulses from the devouring skill but he had no such problem so she would just be another normal human being.
"Even if she is useless, her group is pretty good and I might gain some rewards travelling with them, the most important are the different martial spirits and skills I would get to study and also the special high grade skill found in that cave amidst the journey, I know about the existence of that place but don't know where it is, they would be useful to guide me there."
In a small valley full of unique flowers and special plants, Leylin saw a beautiful figure playing zither. She was just sitting cross-legged in the middle of the flowers. Unaware of Leylin's presence, she slightly lowered her head and was completely immersed in the music.
Leylin moved closer and closer and stopped around 100 meters away behind her back. He stood there and glanced at the beautiful figure in front of him. He slowly closed his eyes, slightly immersing himself in the beautiful sound of the zither.
After a while, the sound of the zither gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.
"You are a great musician, really a rare talent in this field."
The beautiful figure in the distance slowly turned around with an ancient zither in her arms. She furrowed her brows slightly and looked straight at Leylin who appeared like a ghost smiling at her and complimenting her.
Leylin remained unaffected his eyes staring at her with a soft aloof smile.
"You are beautiful too, even more of a treat for the spectators!" Leylin said seriously.
The beautiful girl was around 18 or 19 years old, dressed in a white overskirt. Her eyes were sparkling, her teeth were gleaming, her skin was soft and smooth, and her figure was delicate and slim. Her serenity and cuteness were perfectly combined, making her beauty on the level of Mary Dunn.
The lovely girl gave Leylin a single glance, then promptly turned away. With the zither in her arms, she and walked slowly in silence towards the little creek hundreds of meters away.
Leylin couldn't help but accept the beautiful women in this world. Overall, he had only met two, but they were both so breathtakingly stunning, with outstanding beauty.
"Boy, enough is enough."
Suddenly, a strong, large, figure jumped down from the giant ancient tree in front of Leylin. It was a middle-aged man with a hairy yellowish face. He was wearing a grey-brown warrior outfit. He looked very tall and strong with a huge sword on his shoulder. But he didn't look very serious, just standing in front of Leylin, he looked at him with a weird smile on his face.
'This guy!' The huge guy was momentarily shocked as he stared into Leylin eyes for a few second, he felt a cold shiver down his spine. He saw that Leylin wasn't a bit impressed or shocked from his sudden entry, quite infact he had an indifferent expression which seem to emphasis a thought that he can see through him with a single glance.
