Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

Chapter 784: Fighting An Ugly Old Man Part 3

“Little girl, I will give you this. You have made this old man suffer greatly today. For someone of your cultivation to be able to leap realms and battle me to this extent, I give you my praise. But now you will pay for your life for the sins you have committed upon me. I will use your blood to restore my previous cultivation, and then I will make your sect pay dearly for everything you have done.” The ugly old man smiled, making him even more ugly. 

Kana could barely stand as she looked at the old man, his figure blurry. She had been beaten so badly lately that she was starting to wonder what she has been doing the past few years while on this planet. First, it was the pervert man in black who interrupted her battle with the giant ape, and now this man. Kana wondered if the stories she heard about those with great power will also bring great trouble upon themselves were true or not. If this was the case, she might not want to get stronger anymore…. But she also knew she could not even have such thoughts. 

“Since it has come to this….” Kana’s eyes were heavy, she already strained her body to the point of exhaustion. 

“Since it has come to the point that I will have no choice but to use that.” Kana leaned her entire body against her sword as she closed her eyes.

Seeing this, the ugly old man let out a maniacally laugh. “So you have given into your fate. It’s fine, though. You have fought well. I will be sure to use every last drop of your bloo….”

*Dong!*

The sounds of bells filled the sky. The ugly old man looked up at the sky with a grim expression. “This again! Why do I keep hearing this ominous bell!?” 

“Because stupid people keep appearing in front of me when all I wish to do is grow stronger in peace.” A voice came from in front of the ugly old man forcing his attention back towards Kana. When he saw the ghostly figure strolling towards him, the ugly old man’s eyes filled with fear. 

“Y-Y-Y-You! It’s you!” A sudden realization fell upon the ugly old man. “You are the reason for the sounds that I have been hearing. But how!? Your body is only in the qi condensation realm! Unless…”

Kana came to a stop right in front of the old man only to hear a plop sound seconds later. The ugly old man was not kneeling on the ground, his forehead pressed hard against the dirt and rocks of the forest floor. 

“Senior! No, your excellency, please allow this old man to live. I know my mistakes!  I will never come near you again!” The ugly old man was gritting his teeth. He should have just killed this girl when he had a chance. If he remembered that this girl’s soul was so powerful, he would not have wasted so much time! He truly wished he could rip this girl’s limbs off for the humiliation he was facing at this time. He hated her to the core of his entire being. But he knew more than anyone after living so long that one must take a step back and then plan accordingly.

“You know your mistakes? It seems you do not repent. Do you not know that I can feel your hatred from here? Last time you cut the connection off before I could do anything but this time….. Well, unless your soul is able to escape, you will not be able to get away from here.” Kana smiled. Although her smile looked beautiful, to the ugly old man, it was the smile of a devil. She had the appearance of an angel but the aura of a demon. She was the representation of both good and evil. 

“Please, I be…. Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!” Kana ignored the old man’s words and directly ripped his soul out of his body before pinching it between her fingers, making it transform into balls of light, causing it to disappear forever. Kana stood there looking at the lifeless corpse of the ugly old man before bending down and rummaging through his things. “Such crap for an old man!” 

With a frown, Kana turned and looked at her battered and beaten body. “I need to grow strong, so I can stop relying on my soul. If I come across a powerful enemy with a strong soul that can hurt me in this form, then I will not get to leave this world for a long, long time.”

Kana clenched her fists a few times before looking at a certain set of trees. She mouthed a few words before returning to her body. Elder Ning pursed his lips. He felt it was highly unfair that Kana was able to detect him. While he knew Kana’s spirit form was much more powerful than himself, he still felt that her pointing him out was cheating! Why did his disciple need to be so abnormal!? But he still had to nod at Kana’s consideration. Just now, she gave him her thanks for not getting involved. “It seems she was able to get something out of this fight.”

Kana did get something out of this fight. Her understanding of sword intent rose after sending an attack at the old man’s crotch. Kana was happy about this outcome. While it was a tough fight, she was able to deal with it. Although she still had to use her soul to kill the ugly old man once and for all. 

“Tsss… My body hurts. ” Kana’s soul had returned to her body. She quickly summoned her storage box and took out a few healing pills, and gulped them down. “I just finished healing, and now I have to do it again. However, my leg will take a while to heal. But I just need to get to the mystic realm for the time being. Once I am inside, I can wander around a bit and slowly heal. At least, I hope. I just feel very tired….” 

Kana was still having a hard time keeping her eyes open. Her body had really been beaten like a rag this time around. She slumped down to the ground and began circulating her spiritual qi to make sure she refined the healing pills she took just now.  As she sat there with her eyes closed, Elder Ning appeared in the air behind her and sat down as well. He was making sure no one would bother her this time around.
