“I twisted my ankle and want to rest here for the night.”

Emily Cooper said pitifully. David Cooper also quietly glanced at Grace Bennett; her peerless beauty almost stole his soul—how could he possibly leave now?

With that thought, David Cooper declared righteously, “Henry Clark still has a group of soldiers under his command. They were the ones chasing us earlier, so we have to stay and fight alongside you!”

His voice was firm and resolute, fully displaying the bearing of a top disciple.

Unfortunately, Grace Bennett didn’t look at him, but instead asked Eric Carter, “Do you need me to take care of them?”

Pfft—

David Cooper almost spat blood. Goddess, do you have to be so heartless?

Eric Carter couldn’t help but fall into thought, making David Cooper shudder inside. Crap, are you guys really going to attack us?

Just then, Grace Bennett suddenly said, “There really is a group of soldiers heading our way.”

“You can go fight them now.”

Eric Carter turned back and said to David Cooper and the others, making them so angry they almost coughed up blood. How could he be so unfriendly!

Of course, Eric Carter was just joking. In his eyes, those soldiers of Henry Clark were nothing but experience points—he certainly wouldn’t miss out.

He had no psychological burden killing those vicious soldiers.

Ever since Henry Clark betrayed, he had led his soldiers to commit all sorts of evil in the Qianyue Kingdom. Even when General Nan Meng personally led a campaign against him, he always managed to escape, making the emperor gnash his teeth in hatred.

In less than a minute, twenty or thirty soldiers emerged from the woods across the lake. Their strength varied, the weakest at Qi Refining Stage 2, the strongest only at Stage 6.

“There they are!”

“Wait! Look, isn’t that the general’s corpse?”

“Damn! It really is!”

“The general is dead?”

The soldiers immediately grew restless, their gazes toward Eric Carter and the others filled with fear.

David Cooper and Emily Cooper looked excited. Earlier, they had feared these soldiers because of Henry Clark, but now that Henry Clark was dead, these soldiers seemed like lambs to them.

At that moment, Eric Carter drew his Desert Eagle. After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his senses were far beyond ordinary people’s—even dozens of meters away, he could still see the enemy clearly.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

Bullets whistled out one after another. The soldiers had no time to react and were shot directly, blood splattering everywhere. Thanks to the system’s modifications, the Desert Eagle only needed to be infused with true qi, and after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Eric Carter’s true qi quality and quantity far surpassed the Qi Refining Stage.

Those Qi Refining soldiers simply couldn’t withstand it.

“Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Stage 3 soldier, gained 25 experience points!”

“Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Stage 4 soldier, gained 29 experience points!”

…

The system prompts rang out one after another in Eric Carter’s mind, but he wasn’t surprised—he calmly continued shooting.

Chapter 7: Skill Inheritance

“Run! That guy has a magic weapon!”

“Ah—”

“What kind of magic weapon is this? Its destructive power is insane!”

The remaining soldiers, terrified by the Desert Eagle’s power, scattered in all directions. Eric Carter said calmly, “Grace Bennett, throw them all over here!”

“Yes, my lord.”

Grace Bennett replied sweetly, then, like a celestial phantom, swiftly flew across the lake. Eric Carter stopped shooting. Soon, Grace Bennett threw over the first soldier. While the man was still in the air, Eric Carter raised his hand and fired three shots, killing him before he even landed.

My marksmanship is still too poor!

Eric Carter thought regretfully. If his aim were better, he could have killed with a single shot.

Fortunately, he had plenty of true qi—firing hundreds of shots was no problem!

Just like that, one soldier after another was tossed over by Grace Bennett, giving Eric Carter a chance to practice his marksmanship. In less than a minute, all the soldiers were dead under the Desert Eagle’s true qi bullets. Unfortunately, Eric Carter was still a bit short of leveling up.

Still, the experience required for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment wasn’t much. Maybe after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, the required experience would become a massive number.

For this, Eric Carter was quite satisfied.

David Cooper and Emily Cooper were dumbfounded. Although these soldiers weren’t very strong, they were still cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage. Even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn’t have defeated all the soldiers. But in front of Eric Carter and Grace Bennett, these soldiers seemed so weak!

They understood that it was really Grace Bennett who was too strong, and the magic weapon in Eric Carter’s hand must be of an extremely high level!

“All right, you can leave now!”

Eric Carter turned around, playing with the Desert Eagle, and smiled at David Cooper and Emily Cooper. The silver gun gleamed coldly in the moonlight, making their hearts skip a beat.

“Can you send us back to Xuanling Sect?” Emily Cooper asked, pretending to look pitiful. She really had nowhere else to go.

She had come out for training, thinking she could have a good time under David Cooper’s protection. Unexpectedly, things went wrong from the start. Less than three days after leaving the sect, she was captured by Henry Clark. If not for an enemy showing up midway, Emily Cooper would have already been defiled by Henry Clark.

Later, she and David Cooper found a chance to escape and had been on the run for two days. Henry Clark had set his sights on her beauty and pursued her relentlessly, during which she also twisted her ankle.
