Chapter 10 Corruption
With the money, Ash headed to the market.

On the way, Ash always felt that more people were looking back at him.

'I've become more handsome?'

Ash speculated, looking at the skin that was a little lighter than usual.

The activation of blood will indeed bring some changes to the blood holder, including but not limited to changes in hair color, eye color, skin color, etc.

'Ask someone.'

After spending two silver coins on a pair of leather shoes, Ash bought some dried fruits and followed his memory to the Honeysuckle Manor.

Standing outside the railing, Ash felt a slight discomfort coming over him. It was the disgust reaction of the [Sun Quetzalcoatl] bloodline towards unclean things.

The Sun Quetzalcoatl is a totem god revered by the ancient Luoan people, also known as the Asian yellow race. It is in charge of the sun, purification, sky and other powers.

It is a pity that this golden species and even the holy spirit that once leapt to the gem species have long been extinct, otherwise the Luoan people would not have fallen to the point of being dependent on others.

This disgusted reaction further confirmed Ash's guess that this place must be the location for a cult ritual.

After walking around the railing, Ash found Valentine who was tending to the branches.

"Valentin." Ash called out.

Valentine turned his head, took a look, and asked in surprise: "Ash?"

He glanced around, then trotted over: "What do you want from me?"

When Valentine approached Ash, he immediately noticed something strange: "Ash, have you become younger?"

In the past, Ash had dark and yellow skin, a thin face, and looked a little old.

Now his complexion is rosy and his skin is a healthy wheat color. He looks like a normal person of his age.

"Really?" Ash touched his face, "Maybe I've been eating well recently and I've gained weight."

"Yes." Valentine nodded in confirmation, "And she seems to have become more beautiful."

"Do you know how to use adjectives? I'm a man and you describe me as beautiful?" Ash said unhappily.

Valentine scratched his head: "But it feels like this."

"It seems that his appearance has indeed changed." Ash pinched his chin and handed a small bag to Valentine: "Here you go."

"What is this?" Valentine took the bag and asked in confusion.

"Dried fruit." Ash said, "I've earned money as an adventurer, so I bought some for you."

"You became an adventurer?" Valentine was shocked. He clearly remembered that Ash was still selling candied haws two days ago. How did he suddenly become an adventurer?

"What else?" Ash patted the two swords at his waist to signal.

"That's great!" Valentine looked at Ash with envy in his eyes.

There is no commoner boy who does not fantasize about becoming an adventurer one day, slaying a dragon, marrying a princess, and becoming a king.

"Congratulations." Valentine congratulated Ash.

"Aren't you jealous?" Ash asked tentatively.

"I'm not jealous, you haven't become king yet, why should I be jealous?" Valentine rolled his eyes, "You, an adventurer, may not be as safe as a gardener like me."

When Ash heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shift to the side.

You are really not as safe as me. After all, there is a cult den next to you, and you don’t know when you will become a sacrifice.

"Then you work hard." Ash waved his hand, "Then I will continue my adventure."

"Yeah." Valentine nodded, "Be safe."

"I know." Ash turned and left.

Watching Ash leaving, Valentine squeezed the bag. Maybe one day when he had saved enough money, he would also become an adventurer.

Walking out of the town, Ash headed towards Nolan Forest.

As they approached the forest, Ash suddenly quickened his pace and rushed into the woods.

"Hey, we've been discovered, chase him!"

A cursing voice was heard, and a young man with a cockscomb haircut rushed out from the bushes nearby with two of his younger brothers, chasing after Ash.

When they reached the edge of the woods, the young man with the rooster comb slowed down his pace. He did not see Ash.

"Be careful, that yellow monkey might want to ambush us." The cockscomb-haired young man said, "Don't let yourself get hurt by a rookie."

"Don't worry, boss." A younger brother said confidently, "It's just a yellow monkey." As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow fell from the sky.

puff!

The dagger pierced the throat of the younger brother who had just spoken.

Ash hung on the talking younger brother and gave the remaining two people a sinister smile: "Good afternoon, both of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a "puff", Ash drew out his dagger and rushed towards the other brother with a sword.

The sword-wielding brother immediately blocked with his sword, but
too weak!
In Ash's eyes, this man's swordsmanship was full of loopholes.

One sword to stop, two swords to knock away, three swords to pierce through!
With a twist of his wrist, Ash crushed the sword-wielding brother's heart, ending his life.

"It's your turn." Ash drew out his dagger and smiled at the cockscomb-haired young man, Mo Xi.

"I underestimated you, yellow monkey." Mo Xi's face showed solemnity. He didn't expect that Ash's strength was much stronger than he thought.

Is this still a new adventurer?

Mo Xi took a stance, the claw blade on his fist shining sharply: "But if you think you can kill me, you are very wrong."

"I'm not like these two idiots!"

Before he could finish his words, Mo Xi threw a swift punch and stabbed at Ash with his claw blade.

Ash had no intention of taking the hit head-on. Even with the blessing of the [Sun Quetzalcoatl] bloodline, strength was still his weakness.

With a sliding step, Ash dodged the punch and slashed at Mo Xi with both swords.

Mo Xi quickly returned to defense and blocked the attack with his arm armor.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Ash's two-handed sword rushed towards Mo Xi like a violent storm.

What you lack in strength, you make up for in speed!
Mo Xi suddenly felt the pressure increase.

Damn it, how could he be suppressed by a yellow monkey!

There was humiliation on Mo Xi's face, anger flashed in his eyes, and the malice in his heart became more and more intense.

Black lines began to spread on his skin.

Ash's heart skipped a beat, the discomfort from his bloodline that he had felt at Honeysuckle Manor resurfaced, and it was stronger than last time.

Ash also noticed the black lines spreading across Moshi's body.

corrupt?

Ash immediately thought of the word corruption, which refers to the phenomenon that the living beings on the Enhui continent are eroded by evil gods.

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!" Mo Xi's muttering became faster and faster, and his attacks became more and more violent.

Ash also felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult.

Sizzle!

His clothes were torn, and three bleeding wounds immediately appeared on Ash's body.

The moment he was injured, Ash suddenly felt a sense of brutality rising in his heart, and he wanted to tear Mo Xi in front of him to pieces.

This sense of brutality grew as Ash became injured.

In contrast, Ash's sword speed and power began to increase.

The fighting continues.

Mo Xi raised his head and roared, his eyes turned blood red, and two thick tentacles suddenly sprang out from behind him. He was completely corrupted.

But at the moment of his corruption, Ash's discomfort from his bloodline reached its peak.

call!
Golden flames suddenly attached to the two swords.

These golden flames seemed to have great restraint on corrupted life, and Mo Xi, who should have had the upper hand, was completely at a disadvantage.

Sphinx Swordsmanship: Eagle Head Strike!

One sword cut off the tentacles, and another sword pierced into Moxi's head. The golden flame seemed to meet fuel, completely igniting Moxi's whole body.

When Ash came back to his senses, all he saw was a pile of ashes and a slowly burning golden flame.
