The power they felt was completely different from the cultivation they studied. The energy they felt was clear, smooth, and pure like morning dew as if every fiber in their bodies was awakening for the first time, not for strength but for something more profound.

As the new power synchronized with their cultivation, their eyes shone in a faint light now not only did they see the black smoke surrounding their opponent, they could also see something that seemed to be the source of their opponent’s strength.

Right in the center of their chests, they saw a black hole where black smoke churned and enveloped them in darkness.

“You saw it?” Bei Li Yan’s voice was mixed with shock and disbelief

“Yes, that’s their weakness, Let’s go!” Jin Hao narrowed his eyes.

Once they were able to show their opponent’s weakness, the fight became much easier for Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan, moreover, their enemy showed excruciating pain when they came in contact with Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan’s light, their torment roared like the screams of a wounded animal. 

“IT’S HURTS!” they screamed in pain.

Fear finally appeared on their opponents’ faces as the wounds they received were incurable and their bodies that had been cut off by Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan couldn’t be reconnected, they couldn’t believe it.

“Why – why – why Master Jin said we will be invincible, this can’t be right!” one of them tried to retract his limbs but in vain meanwhile, black blood dripped from their severed hands.

“This is impossible! I have sacrificed everything!” another screamed in despair as he feel his power drain from his body.

While they were screaming and crying in total despair Jin Hao stabbed his sword into one of his opponent’s chests for a moment their eyes locked together then white light emerged from Jin Hao’s sword then filled the black hole in his enemy’s chest, slowly the opponent’s body scramble then disappeared into black smoke.

Those who saw this were scared to death but they knew it was too late for them to escape, like a cornered animal they surrounded Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan then jumped into the air to attack them simultaneously knowing this is their last chance.

Bei Li Yan’s eyes shone with ridicule, ina graceful movement Bei Li Yan flick his whip in the air and the tip of the whip flew nimbly then pierced through their enemy’s chest one by one within seconds all of their enemy’s movements stopped in midair as their body thrust like a meat skewer, their eyes stared intently at Bei Li Yan wicked smile, soon after their bodies turned into black smoke then swept by the wind without leaving any trace.

Bei Li Yan flicked his whip back into his hand, “This feels different from the Lesser-Demon Lory described”

“It’s weaker, but that’s because we’ve been taught by my Lord otherwise we might be overwhelmed since these creatures can regenerate their wounds,” said Jin Hao.

Bei Li Yan’s expression turned dark “Imagine if these creatures fought ordinary cultivators, they would have no chance of winning against these creatures” Even though Bei Li Yan usually didn’t care about other people who had nothing to do with him, however, what they faced now was the power of darkness that would devour all the living things in this world so it’s hard not to care as a fellow human being.

“Jin Hao I think your half brother is crazy, some people want to rule the world, I get that but what kinda world he want to rule when nothing is left to rule”

Jin Hao sighed heavily, he also think Jin Kai has turn mad.

All of a sudden out of nowhere something jumped toward Bei Li Yan’s face but Bei Li Yan managed to catch it before it touched her face, but a chill ran down his spine as he felt touching something hairy and throbbing on his hand.

“Aah, rat!” he reflexively threw the thing at Jin Hao.

Jin Hao swiftly caught it without care then he look closely turned out it was a hamster-like beast, quivering on his palm as the little beast looked at him with pitiful round eyes.

“Oh, furry plunder?” Jin Hao said in a flat tone.

“Is not a rat?” Bei Li Yan assessed the animal with a worried look, no one knew that the Red Vermillion King couldn’t stand rats, he was fine with worms or insects but he hated rats the most.

It took a while for Bei Li Yan not to scream when she saw a Rat but he still couldn’t get close, let alone touch that thing without being freaked out.

“No, look” Jin Hao showed a small beast that was no bigger than his palm in front of Bei Li Yan “I guessed this little plunder is one of Jin Hua’s contractual beasts” Jin Hao poked Po-po’s head.

Bei Li Yan’s expression relaxed after he was assured it wasn’t a rat, everything is fine as long is not a rat, “Is it… a hamster?” Bei Li Yan leaned his head toward the little beast.

“Although it’s of the same species, furry plunder is different, it’s much smarter than ordinary hamsters and also has a pocket in its stomach…” when Jin Hao explained suddenly Po Po jumped into Bei Li Yan’s face, popo stuck his little paw on Bei Li’s nose Yan.

“What…” Bei Li Yan found it hard to get the beast off its face, Bei Li Yan pinched popo’s neck while the little beast moved its small claws wildly as if unhappy to be separated from Bei Li Yan’s face.

“It seems the little beast like you,” said Jin Hao.

“Yeah, a bit too much, I guessed” The little beast panted heavily and puffed out his chest up and down as it stared at Bei Li Yan’s face and for some reason, it make Bei Li Yan uncomfortable.

Po-po suddenly spit something out of his mouth and fell to the ground, Jin Hao got curious then he squatted down while checking what Po-po spit out of its mouth, soon after Jin Hao was surprised when he saw one of Jin Hua’s earrings.

“What’s that?” Bei Li Yan asked.

“Jin Hua earrings, I bought the earing for her when she was little I didn’t think she still had them” Jin Hao clenched the earing tightly.

“Hey, why this little guy has it, could it be?” Bei Li Yan gasped as he looked at the little beast which leaped into Bei Li Yan’s face again once his pinch loosened.

“That means this little thing knows where Jin Hua is,” Jin Hao concluded.

“Hey, stop it, don’t climb on my face!” Bei Li Yan pulled Po-Po again from his face, he was not, sir, annoyed that his face was now covered with Po-po’s fur.

“Let’s get her then!” Jin Hao raised from the ground.

But from far away they heard a swarm of footsteps approaching fast.

“Looks like we have another enemy.” Bei Li Yan snorted in annoyance.

Jin Hao swung his sword then said calmly to Bei Li Yan, “I stopped them, you look for Jin Hua first,”

“Why not I stopped them and you search your own sister?” Bei Li Yan finding hard to understand Jin Hao’s decision.

Jin Hao then pointed at Po-Po who was struggling to touch Bei Li Yan’s face again, “That thing looks more like you than me” Jin Hao plainly said.

Bei Li Yan glanced at the little beast that was too eager to be with him ‘What a strange beast’ he thought.

“So you want me to leave you alone?” still he feel a bit hesitant to leave Jin Hao alone.

“What, you’re worried about me?” Jin Hao turns at him with a ‘are you serious’ expression.

Only then did Bei Li Yan realize how insignificant her worries were, “Yes, you are right” he shrugged.

It was a waste of time to worry about this evil fox, just before Bei Li Yan left Jin Hao suddenly called out to him again.

“Hey, don’t let my sister get hurt.” Jin Hao’s expression solemnly said.

one of the corners of Bei Li Yan’s lips curved into a mischievous smile “You don’t have to tell me about that!” Bei Li Yan then shot up like a bullet.

Jin Hao then got ready for the arrival of his enemy but he just realized there was something strange with Bei Li Yan’s answer, what does he mean ‘he doesn’t have to tell him about that?’

“What’s that supposed to mean?” he muttered.

However, his contemplation was disturbed by the arrival of the same nasty creatures that they fought previously, “Oh, more of these” his eyes glint with interest. 

Inwardly Jin Hao wonders what other creatures Jin Kai has made?
