The battle went on with the three, with one down his chance of winning was high, the lady was getting nervous about fighting him after seeing how her friend was weaken.
Luckily she has learnt her weapon to a good rank, so she still had a little bit of survival.
Jordan leaped backward and panted loudly, the yang swallowing spear art she used just now has sucked away most of his energy, causing him to feel a little pain between his legs thus reducing his chance of winning in the battle with her.
'Shit, I must keep this a secret no matter what.' Jordan yelled in his heart and tossed away his coat, now he was in the purple robe that made movement a little more comfortable but not fast.
Being comfortable when fighting is a good practice.
He charged at her with his sword tightly grasped in his hands, not leaving any chance for her.
He saw her making the same move earlier, she was going to use the yang swallowing spear art once again and if that happens it will be difficult for him to stand up and raise his sword.
"Using the same trick twice, do you take me for a fool?" He said in a disappointed tone as he took two daggers at his waist.
The dagger distracted her from using that technique.
After that was done, he raced towards her releasing a killing light from his eyes that glowed all over his body, making him look more like a stroke of lightning charging towards something.
His speed was good, she could see that perfectly because he was closing in on her.
She sweated coldly as she felt her strength slowly leaving her due to fear.
"Die, bitch" was the last thing she had before she felt a sharp pain on her chest and then came the last breath of life that escaped her from her body.
Her eyes shone in fear and disbelief.
Jordan smirked and dragged out the sword from her back, causing her to knee before falling down lifelessly, eye still open filled with fear.
He wasn't a bad person but this wasn't the first time he has killed someone, surely the death of this one did not affect him in any way.
He staggered like a demon crawling out from a labyrinth, the dark aura surrounding him caused him to look really demonic at that moment.
He stole a glance at the dude and saw him shivering in anger and fear, the look to revenge his lover was written over his face but he could not do anything about it.
'I can't believe it's so good to see someone in pain. I'm really becoming something else... hehe.' He let out a small laugh and staggered towards the guy who quickly stood up and raised his sword against him, he was trembling really hard that his leg turned numb and he fell to the ground on his knee.
Jordan closed the distance immediately, and then he grabbed the dude by the neck raising him into the air, his deadly eyes staring deep into his fearful eyes as though he was searching for something.
Then he let out a laugh, his hands clenched his neck tightly killing him in the process.
The young man fell to the ground lifeless, the same way Jordan's body collapsed to the ground.
The energy that covered his body right now is not his own, it was in fact the energy from the curse.
Today is the first day since the curse that he has actually felt the urgency to kill, killing is dark, especially when it's done in an evil way, and not for the right thing.
The two were innocent but he felt that strong urge to kill both of them, during the battle when he was on the disadvantageous side he felt this strong urge in his body screaming for him to kill those two even if he have already registered it in his brain.
The strong urge gave him a strength boost to fight.
Jordan layed on the ground and fell into a sleep like state, soon the energy around his body started clearing off and soon it returned to normal.
Inside the forest, the sound of different entities crawling could be heard.
The body of this entity was so massive that it blocked the sky and filled the whole of the forest with a fiery darkness.
"Ha ha, ha ha ha..." Came a strange laugh resembling the voice of a middle age human lady but also sounded like that of an old lady.
"My subject is getting stronger, the predators..... hahaha" This large entity laughed, it's tentacles like body parts started reaching the ground headed towards the corpse of the two disciples that Jordan killed.
It engulfed the corpse and absorbed the corpse, taking over the body of the humans.
It reached out for the body of Jordan, raising it up to the ground to the height of the tallest tree around them.
Then it stressed a smaller tentacles towards his head, injecting an energy into it that was transferred to his brain instead of his dantian.
After that was done, the tentacles slowly took the body back to the ground and with a flash everything around there disappeared giving a speculation that those multiple spectacles belonged to one entity and that entity was by no means a small deal one can scoff at.
One mystery about it was that all this while, only small fractions of its body was displayed never for once has one spotted it's head.
Few hours later, in the research union, a union set-up by the emperor to monitor changes in all the kingdoms.
Seated in a large office were three men of high class of different jobs like alchemy crafter hunters and so on.
They sat around the large desk with strange looks on their faces, looking as though they were discussing about something really really important.
"This is really disturbing"
"Indeed, such a thing has never been recorded in history."
"What the heck is the world turning into, over the years a lot of things has been changing in such a bad way"
"First was the arrival of the evil cultist, the evil alchemist, everything just keeps going evil, demonic is a different thing entirely, but now there's starting to become something as evil demon and demonic evil, everything just so happens to have the fuckin evil in them."
"Evil, the new information has not been confirmed as evil yet. it's just beginning to add up."
"It's all fuckin the same thing my, we are getting into something really bad"
"Yeah, I really agree with you. where has it been in history that a certain race of beast disappeared from a place in just a matter of weeks. even strong cultivator with broad knowledge will find it difficult to take out a race from the world."
"The serpent case is really disturbing. but I think it's related to the serpent queen."
"The serpent queen?"
"What, the serpent queen" All of them reacted to the words of the one speaking as though they were hearing something knew for the first time.
"Yes, I said it and I'm saying it again. I think it's related to the serpent queen. come to think of it, it conquered a whole kingdom, a call of distress was placed to the emperor who immediately alerted the rescue team close by who took actions immediately but on getting there the whole of the village has been cleared to the ground. they only caught glimpse of a head resembling human female, it was surrounded with numerous tentacles."
"It's the same old story we Heard, nothing new and nothing related to the snake partial extinction" One of them asked arrogantly.
"Cool down, it killed people but did not destroy their place but when speaking of the place were young serpents were breed, this hideous evolved snake like beast destroyed it and there was no trace of snakes crawling out. what do you think might have happened there?"
"Probably it was enraged by its own kind and decided to make do with their bodies." The impolite one responded impolitely.
The other gave their own answers.
"You all have you own speculation but this is mine. in that place there was only the trace of one large body moving away and no trace of it coming back there, also there was no blood or body parts of the snakes stored there." He let out his thought, explaining deeper to them.
"What, does that mean?"
"Please don't tell me it's what I'm thinking? wtf."
"Sorry it's what you are thinking, the serpent queen might has absorbed it's own kind to get stronger at first before using human as it's other means for getting even stronger."
The others opened their mouth but no words came out, if it's true then it means that the snake serpent is growing stronger everyday why they tried to hold off their own problems.
