Life Drain System

...starts wiping them with three arrows in each shot. Even if they do not die, as long as they are brought down he can kill them after. Thus once the first shot is fired, they start to scatter, and he takes them out one by one.

Having them all on the ground Yue jumps down and puts the bow back on his back before drawing his sword to ensure that they are all dead. Taking a step forward, he feels something cold in his chest, and turning his head he sees a pretty woman who appears to be a hostess holding a knife with blood dripping from it.

With shock on her face she runs away with the knife still in hand.

Seeing this, and feeling his lung filling up, he asks in his mind. 'Yang, I think I am dying. Is there anything we can do about this?'

"There is nothing you can do, you were stabbed in the kidney. Anyways, that does not me I cannot do something for you. However considering how you do not have shop credits, I will either have to use a few of your years which will be risky, or you lose something else such as a memory or a skill. What will it be?" Yang replies.

Thinking, and knowing he does not have much time before someone may find and finish him off, he answers. 'How many years.'

"Just two should be enough."

'I choose the years.'

With that said, his body heals back to tip top shape, and since he had enough years due to removing his cultivation he has some to spare. Therefore he quickly gets back up and goes into the house behind him.

Walking around the house, he finds a stringed instrument, a pipa to be exact. Picking it up, he destrings it, and pulling two wooden pegs from it, wraps the thinnest wire around both, pocketing the other three. Then moving to the kitchen, searching each of the cupboards he finds a fine powdery substance.

Having found this, he thinks to himself. 'This should do the trick, although I wonder what it is. It is probably not flour. Now if only I could find some alcohol' He thinks while he throws the powder substance into his inventory.

Without finding everything he wanted, Yue walks out of the house, and retrieves his arrows that he used before. Then killing each of those still alive, he leaves to go find those who are putting out the fire at the moment.

Climbing up to the roof, he jumps from rooftop to rooftop, going towards the burning wall. Seeing it not far off, Yueliang looks around for any guards or otherwise.

Finding the group by the fire, and seeing them pulling water from a well, they are passing it down a fire line to get the water faster and without spillage. Watching this, Yue just sits down on the rooftop wishing he had popcorn thinking. 'This is hilarious, do they really no know water just makes oil and grease fires spread? While these cultivators are quite far ahead in some areas, it seems they are behind in very few others. Fortunately it seems this is one of them.'

Having watched for about 2 minutes, Yue begins to feel bored, so taking up the bow while still seated, he nocks four arrows on the bow, and lining them up takes out part of the fire line. Nocking another two, he takes out those working on taking water from the well.

The guards working on putting out the fire quickly hide behind walls to avoid being shot. With six of them down there are only 14 left here.

Wanting them to move to make it easier, Yue takes out the whistle arrow, and fills it with the powdery substance he took before, then shoots it at a head popping out from behind a wall.

As the arrow hits its mark, the whistle breaks apart causing the powder to fly everywhere do to the inertia behind it.

The guards, worried it may be poison quickly move from the wall only to be met with arrows in their heads.

While Yue could move to have a better vantage point, one will not always have them, thus he chooses to use this as training, and shooting the one hiding behind the well next as she lifts her head to see where their attacker is.

Barely missing her, the lady decides to take the stupid route and run, thus meeting her death by arrow as well.

'Lets see, she is eight, so there should be 6 more behind this wall.' Yue thinks to himself as we walks to the edge of the building while nocking 6 arrows in hopes he can get them all in one swoop.

Looking down he sees five, and shoots after un nocking one of the arrows. Then turning around, nothing. 'Where is the last one? Oh' He thinks to himself until he sees someone running down the street.

'Not very bright are we? Should have gone for cover while running you know.' Yue comments while releasing an arrow into their spinal coulomb just below the skull. Although he was aiming for the head, it works, so he looks toward the pagoda pondering. 'I am guessing that is where the last traitors are?'

Making his way there, he notices a brazier. So he walks over to it, and making a torch, he continues his journey to the tall pagoda before him.

Many minutes later, Yue is standing before the pagoda, he starts walking around it holding the torch against the wall. In doing this, he lights the wooden pagoda on fire. Then asks. 'Yang, I remember there being a free garbage in the shop. Is there any pinecones or other such thing for free like those?'

Noticing what his brother is getting at, Yang answers. "There are not, however I have taken the liberty of placing pine needles in your inventory."

Hearing this, Yueliang smiles, and mumbles. "Thank you." Then pulling out the pine needles he throws them into and against the pagoda, only making the heat hotter, and the smoke much much worse.

Walking towards the stone steps, Yue takes a seat, and watches as the place burns. 'Well this should do the trick, and here I was thinking I may have to kill them by hand. Hopefully they are sleeping so they can pass quickly, I would rather not have them dying a slow and agonizing death.'

A few hours later, the place crumbles and is still burning. However Yueliang gets teleported back smelling like pine and smoke from the fire. 'At least that is over, I should clean up soon.' He sighs as he sits on the steps in the dining hall where he teleported from.

After taking a few minutes to rest, Yue starts walking out of the hall to go back to his room, where he can bathe and rest some more. This being due to having a mortals body rather than being able to rely on chi to solve his hunger, stamina, and other such things. Walking down the halls, he wonders to himself. 'I wonder how everyone is doing. I have not seen them in a while.'

As if answering his question, Yin rushes up to him, and says. "It has been a long time my friend. How are you?"

"I should be the one asking you that. But I am doing well, and I intended on coming to see you all after I get cleaned up. So where have you been?" Yue asks.

Yin smiles and says. "We were in our rooms having fun. There is so much to do here, it is amazing. The high orcs are having fun with their research, the tigers have been making a place to rest since they anticipate the cubs to come any day now. I have been cultivating, and so have some others."

Hearing this, Yue smiles as well, hearing that everyone is doing well, and is happy. However something clicks, and Yue asks. "Wait the cubs will be coming soon?"

"That is what they said." Yin replies.

Yue quicks says. "Please lead the way, we must be quick."

With that said, Yin without asking any questions starts running down the halls followed by Yue. As they run through each of the halls the guards turn their heads wondering what could be wrong, thus one of them decides to follow from a distance in case there is a problem.

Arriving in the guest housing area, Yin says. "This is the place." Then opens the door and jumps into the room which is clearly smaller than his room, but that is not to say it is a small place.

Now inside another super mini small world, with a waterfall behind him, Yue says. "Just a moment, I want to be clean before we go to see them." Therefore he places all the weapons still on him into his inventory, takes out some natural bar soap, and goes into the pool beneath the waterfall. Then a few moments later comes out dressed in dry clothes some how, visibly cleaner and smelling much better.

Then Yin asks. "By the way, I have been meaning to ask. If I may, where did all the blood come from? Who did you have to kill, and why so many weapons. You look like you just went to war. If you wanted, you could have summoned us to help you know." Yin says while feeling a little left out that Yueliang is going to all these places and rarely taking them with him.
