Chapter 1286: Venting
Sam couldn't get rid of her out of his head, no matter how much he tried. He is feeling extremely frustrated because of this.
He left the forest surrounding the Mountain sword sect and started walking alongside a stream calmly to clear his mind. But it was as if she took residence in his head. He couldn't get rid of her words no matter what.
The words misfortune, fortune, and destiny are all playing around in his head. He couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
He couldn't get rid of the vibrations caused by her voice in his soul.
He didn't want to experience it again. For a freak like him who likes to have everything under his control, it is already bad enough that he lost his body and everything else that is related to him. He is just getting used to this life.
But now, there is someone else who could just directly go on and play around with his mind. He could take it.
He arrived in a canyon and started destroying everything in his surroundings and only after blowing off that steam, did he manage to become calm. He took out some of the elixirs he got from the sect leader of the Mountain Sword sect and started drinking them as he sat down to cultivate.
He needs to increase his strength. That is the only way he could at least temporarily put this mental torture behind him. He needs something that is close to a feeling of power, a feeling of superiority. It might just only help his vanity, but it is the help he needs. Even if he couldn't find a proper solution, he at least need something to make him feel temporarily comfortable and relieved.
He cultivated there for three days and finally had a breakthrough. This time, he felt weird though. He didn't have any extra metamorphosis, he didn't feel the strength of his other beasts around him. He couldn't help but hate Sivan more and more.
He wants his life back desperately. This frustration only got worse with the increase in his strength and he decided to take it out on the foot soldiers of Sivan.
He churned through Sivan's memories and picked the dirtiest of all organizations. This is even dirtier than the Golden Silk Sect. He doesn't have to care how they die at all.
He doesn't have to feel any remorse whatsoever.
It might take some time for traveling, but he can also find a lot of places to let some steam off in the middle.
Sivan just had too big of a network for his own good and within this region of realms, Sam is going to cripple it completely and the time is also nearing to send Sivan a message. He will not let him have any peace and he just knew the perfect way to send that message.
And thus Sam started his journey. A small journey just to let his steam off.
His first target was an assassin organization in the same realm but on a different planet.
It is disguised as a merchant group.
Sam directly went to the merchant group and openly asked the receptionist.
"Where is your leader?"
"Huh? What business do you have with him?"
"That is none of your business. Just tell me where he is, or I will kill you and get the answer from your soul."
The receptionist frowned and stood up.
Two guards came from the main entrance and stood behind Sam.
"If you are trying to create a scene, you picked the wrong place buddy. You have one last chance to leave."
Sam didn't even bother to reply and swung his staff. The staff hit the head of the receptionist and he died on the spot. He then turned around and swung it on the head of the second member whose head exploded like a watermelon and the aftershock just went as far as destroying the office room.
The remaining guard was horrified by Sam's strength.
"You have two seconds. Where is your boss?"
"I… I…" *BAM*
He didn't finish and Sam just swung his staff and killed him. Specter moved behind him and started collecting the souls. Sam moved deeper into the building and by now some people already noticed the commotion.
They directly started attacking Sam without any questions. Every one of them is nimble in their movement and they are extremely agile, but Sam didn't care. His staff started shooting energy bullets at everyone that came towards him.
Every presence he detected that wanted to harm him was being blasted away.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
That is the only sound that was heard in that building as Sam moved forward. Soon, he reached the stairs which is the only way that was left. There are many people coming down from upstairs and he just went on shooting them.
The specter following Sam was terrified. After all, it tried to trap Sam and wanted to kill him. Of course, even if Sam easily managed to escape. That still left some fear in it. But now it understood what Sam is really capable of.
He can be a lot ruthless. At least, when he was on verge of death, he knew what he did. He knew that he pissed off Sam when the other party came with good intentions, but now the situation is different.
The people that are dying in Sam's hands didn't even know what is happening and why he is attacking them. From what he knew, this is the first time Sam is even meeting them. But he is even killing them without any hesitation.
All that was left in this place are the headless carcasses, body-less heads, meat paste, and blood splattered around the whole building.
As Sam caused more commotion more and more people started coming down from the building and more and more people are dying.
Soon, the leader of the organization, who is on the top floor of this eight-story building came down to see what Sam left behind as he came at him.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
The leader asked as he looked at Sam.
But Sam is in no mood to tell him anything. He lunged forward and ran towards this leader. He knew the energy bullet wouldn't be able to do much damage for him, but that wouldn't be the same for Sam's hits. Particularly with the increase in cultivation.
Sam stored the staff away and threw a punch. The leader dodged and threw a punch in return to Sam's temple, but a small energy barrier stopped it in the middle and morphed into a trap as it held the fist in the place.
Sam moved to the side and used his palm to land a strike on the arm cutting it in half.
"ARRRGGGHH…"
The leader groaned in pain, but Sam didn't stop. He held the arm that the stump of the arm with his mechanical arm and pulled that guy towards him. He landed another palm strike on the shoulder, removing the arm completely.
He then used his elbow to strike the leader in the neck from the side making him collapse and after that, he finally gave his head a kick, separating it from the rest of the body.
Sam looked at the specter and said.
"Extract his memory. I want to know the location of the villages."
The specter wanted to ask what villages, but he didn't dare and just went on with the extraction process and then, he immediately understood.
He now understood where this many skilled assassins came from. This organization is actually just a subsidiary organization of a larger one.
The assassination is just a side business. Their main business is to train assassins from their childhood and sell them to different organizations and their main branch to whom they are acting as a subsidiary has these kinds of branches in many places within the surrounding realms.
When he learned the information, he immediately understood why Sam didn't even bother with small talk. He just jumped into the action directly.
He finished the soul extraction for the rest of the bodies and followed Sam. He gave the locations of villages and they started their journey.
Their nearest village is actually not too far away.
They went there within an hour on the cougar.
The village is hidden deep inside the forest and any normal cultivator wouldn't be able to find it. There are many concealment formations and defensive formations around the city that even an Astral Plane transcendent cultivator of the Initial stage wouldn't be able to identify the location.
Even Sam would have taken some time if he didn't know the location beforehand.
But since he knew, things became easier.
He immediately found a blindspot in the formation and entered it.
The village has a bunch of houses and there are many guards wearing the same attire as the ones in the building inside the city that Sam just visited.
When the guards noticed him, they immediately became vigilant and got ready to attack. But they are a tad bit too late as Sam made the first move.
