Chapter 98: Chapter 26: One Can’t Get Rich Without Windfalls
Jiang Ning glanced at Xu Yunfeng’s corpse.
“Finally, I have completely dealt with him!” he thought to himself.
At this moment, the pent-up frustration in his heart was also released.
With a push of his feet, the earth shattered, and his figure burst forth instantly, rushing towards the other two who had just fled.
“Brother Yuan, are we safe now?” the woman in leopard skin asked.
“Not yet, we’ve only run a few hundred meters and Jiang Ning might still find us. Keep running, we can’t stop!” the man with a sinister gaze urged hurriedly.
“Yes, Brother Yuan!” the woman in leopard skin responded, then she asked again, “But Brother Yuan, how can Jiang Ning be so powerful? With one slash, he severely injured Master Hong and directly disabled his right hand!”
“I don’t know!” The man with a sinister gaze kept running as he spoke.
“Brother Yuan, it’s really strange! Jiang Ning has only been studying Martial Arts for a little over a month, how can he be so terrifying?” the woman in leopard skin expressed her doubts again.
“Maybe that’s what a real genius is like! That’s why Shen Congyun values him so much!” the man offhandedly said, then continued to focus desperately on escaping.
The two of them suddenly heard the sound of movement behind them, getting closer and closer.
Branches shook, rustling loudly.
The pair turned around abruptly, only to see the figure of Jiang Ning dashing through the woods.
Jiang Ning, at this moment, resembled a White Ape running through the forest; with one leap, he easily jumped from one tree to another.
In a few bounds, he had crossed a distance of several dozen feet.
Witnessing this scene, the man with a sinister gaze immediately had his pupils shrink.
“Brother Yuan, Jiang Ning is catching up!” the woman in leopard skin cried out in terror.
“Split up and run!” the man with a sinister gaze took one look at Jiang Ning and decisively commanded.
He turned and sprinted in another direction.
Escaping swiftly through the forest, he headed towards a place with complex terrain and dense bushes.
“May the Gods bless me, protect me so I can escape with my life today!” the man prayed silently in his heart.
A desperate scream suddenly echoed from behind.
Hearing this scream, a shiver ran through his heart.
He knew that now he was the only one left.
Not even ten breaths later,
He heard obvious movements coming from behind again.
Jiang Ning was already within ten feet of him.
Despair filled his eyes instantly.
Then, facing the slashing knife of Jiang Ning, he could only attack with all his might, directly aiming for Jiang Ning’s vital points, forsaking defense.
Jiang Ning struck sideways with his knife, sending the man’s long sword flying with a single blow.
A head soared into the air.
Looking down at the corpse on the ground.
“Finally all dealt with!” Jiang Ning finally relaxed, also releasing his heightened state.
As he released his state, his heartbeat returned to normal.
His elevated body temperature dropped, and his reddened skin returned to normal.
Jiang Ning immediately felt a wave of weakness coursing through his body.
“This side effect is really serious!” he remarked to himself.
He then took out a piece of Wild Ginseng from his chest, snapped off half, and threw it into his mouth.
As the Wild Ginseng entered his mouth, Jiang Ning began to chew.
With each chew, hints of sweetness entered his belly with his saliva, bringing waves of warmth that spread from his stomach to his limbs and bones.
After completely chewing the Wild Ginseng, Jiang Ning swallowed the remnants.
As these remnants entered his stomach, he immediately felt the medicinal effect of the Wild Ginseng truly take hold, and the weakness in his body gradually dissipated.
He glanced again at the corpse at his feet and noted the blood had already dyed the surrounding earth red.
“Having killed people, even four in a row, why do I not feel any different?” Jiang Ning couldn’t help but ask himself in his heart.
He smirked and shook his head.
“Forget it! Don’t dwell on this issue!”
“Let’s see if there’s any unexpected gain from their bodies!”
“With their status, there should be some unexpected gains!”
With this thought, Jiang Ning quickly squatted down and searched around the man’s waist.
After a moment, he pulled out a money pouch.
“Indeed, a gain!” Jiang Ning weighed the heavy money pouch in his hand, his expression lifted.
Money was undeniably useful to him; his growth in Energy Points was dependent on the amount of energy absorbed.
And generally, the more precious the herb or Pills, the more energy they contained, thus providing him with more Energy Points, but at the same time, they were extremely expensive.
So, he needed money, and furthermore, his Martial Arts practice required the aid of herbs, meaning he needed even more money.
Now he needed money, and in the future, he would only need it more!
Now he still had the help of Wang Jin and Shen Congyun, allowing him to progress in his Martial Arts without worrying about money for the time being.
But in the future, as his strength grew,
They would no longer be able to help.
He would have to rely on himself for all Martial Arts training expenses.
After scouring, Jiang Ning took the money pouch and turned to leave.
He had not forgotten that there were still three more he had killed in these woods.
Now with the scent of blood spreading, if he did not hurry to scavenge, wolves or fierce beasts might carry away their corpses.
By then, it would be difficult to find their bodies to scavenge.
He had scavenged everything of value from the several bodies.
He placed all the items and Silver Taels in front of him.
