Yacius fell back down to the ground in fear as he looked at Ning who had also caught sight of him. Ning immediately smiled and started walking towards them.
Yacius left the group of four behind and once more ran in a completely different direction. The four men were standing there in fear, looking at the doctor in front of them.
The bald head with the blood-red spear and a fearsome face did not match what they were used to.
Ning didn't bother with four and directly teleported on top of Yacius and kicked him on the side of his chest. Yacius flew to the side uncontrollably and fell to the ground after hitting a tree.
Ning slowly spun his spear as the blood on it flew to the side. He then started walking once more.
Yacius got up and saw him coming closer and looked around for his attendants, but they were far away. In his moment of carelessness, he had left them behind.
In desperation, he immediately brought out 4 different beasts from his monster pouch, Aside from the Iron Gorilla and Green Reaper Mantis, he had also managed to tame a Flaming Tailed Lion and a Poison Horned Rhino.
Ning looked at the four beasts and smiled. None of them were above the 5th Qi Condensation Realm. In fact, even Yacius himself was only at the 6th Qi Condensation realm.
'This is going to be easy,' Ning thought and walked forward. The Iron Gorilla rushed forward to attack, but Ning simply used One True Spear strike to destroy part of the gorilla's head at once, killing it.
The Mantis rushed at him with its scythe-like arms and attacked him. Ning simply caught both of the scythes with his bare arms. It cut his palms a little, but not enough to be of any worry.
Another One True Spear strike and the mantis was dead too.
The Rhino rushed at him with its horn. Ning didn't budge and instead got lower to dodge the horn but attacked the rhino with his shoulder.
The Rhino was instead thrown backward and fell on its back. It couldn't get up anymore and started waving its legs in the air, trying to flip back.
With its stomach exposed, Ning easily killed the monster. He then used Air Cutter to cut the Rhino's horn from the base and hovered it midair with telekinesis before hitting it hard with his spear.
The horn went flying up towards Yacius, but the Flaming Tailed Lion jumped in to protect him and instead got hit square in the head.
The hit wasn't strong enough to kill the Lion, but the poison in the Rhino's horn was. Purple veins appeared on the lion's forehead as the poison started spreading to its entire body. Soon, the lion was frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground, dead.
Now it was just Ning and Yacius.
"What are you going to do now? Runaway again and complain to the elders?" Ning mocked him.
"I— P-Please spare me. I will give you whatever you want. My father is very rich and… and I can give you tons of flying beasts. Y-You want money? I can give that to you too." Yacius started bargaining for his life.
"Hmm… that is tempting. Although, I'm sure there is something better I can get from you right now," Ning said.
"W-What?" Yacius asked.
"Your screams," Ning said with an evil smile and made a cut on Yacius's thighs.
"AHHHHHH," Yacius cried out in pain as blood wet his entire thighs within seconds.
"That's not the sound I wanted to hear," Ning said as he made another cut on top on the same would at a different angle. Yacius screamed harder.
"There it is," Ning said. His blood lust was higher than ever. Swiftly, he made 3 more cuts all over the thighs of Yacius. The sound he made was incredible.
Ning wasn't sure people could even make a sound so loud. "Ahh," he was reveling in joy when the sound stopped coming.
"Hmm." He looked down to see that Yacius had fainted. He got down and slapped his face a few times and woke him up. As soon as he woke up, he cried once more and started to faint again.
"Sigh, System, heal him," he said.
Suddenly, all wounds on Yacius's body were healed within a matter of seconds. Feeling the pain go away, Yacius looked at his body.
"Wh— What is happening?" he asked.
"Nothing, I just healed you," Ning said.
"Why would y— " before Yacius could even finish the sentence, another slice appeared on his body.
"Because you fainted. I wanted to hear more screams," Ning said. Learning what was happening, Yacius fainted once more.
"What? Hey, wake up!" Ning slapped him a few more times, but he didn't wake up any longer.
"Ah f*ck it," he thought and swung his spear right to left, decapitating Yacius in a single swing. Blood spurted out from the headless stump and the body fell down to the ground.
"Ahh"
He heard screams from somewhere else. "Hmm… oh yeah those guys," Ning thought as he looked towards the 4 attendants. He walked over to them and looked at their frightened state.
"You people know who I am, don't you?" he asked.
"Y-Yes. You are Doctor Ning, a volunteer from the Physician's Guild. We have stayed in line for your massage too," one of them said.
"Oh, you do? Well, that is bad for you. Now that you know who I am, keeping you alive is just more problems for me," He said and slowly an evil smile appeared on his face.
"N— No please don't kill us. W— We didn't do anything. We are just doing a job, and he is already dead. Please let us go. I promise we won't tell anyone anything. We will j-just go to another city in the scattered isles," the men started begging for their lives.
"Aish, that would be good… but unfortunately, I can't trust you lot."
