Who Said A Mosquito Can't Cultivate?

Ding!

'Due to meeting the requirements, [Killer of the Sapient+] has been upgraded to [Serial Killer of the Sapient].'

Damn it, system! You almost scared me to death there! You could've delayed the notification to pop up after I kill the big boss, right? You could've tried to help me out in maintaining my concentration as I got closer to the big boss, but no, you decided to instead become a nuisance.

Then again, I guess you've helped me out as well as I hovered where I was, allowing me to think twice over what I'm going to do. Oh no, I'm not deciding to stop killing the bandits, I'm just thinking twice over the order of s.u.c.k.i.n.g the bandits. Anyways, that moment of ponderation only took a while as I optimized my s.u.c.k.i.n.g order, with the only the first part of that order not changing.

Of course, the first part is the big boss. Sensing his aura through my Qi Perception, it's drastically stronger than any of the auras I've sensed before from the bandits I've s.u.c.k.e.d. Wait a second…since the strongest aura I've sensed from the bandits so far told me that the strongest bandit is at the peak of Qi Proliferation, then does that mean the big boss here has surpassed Qi Proliferation? In other words, this big guy is at the Qi Condensation stage?

Well then. I wonder how much blood a cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage would give me. Not only that, I'm also going to gain a few points of constitution by the looks of it.

And with that, take two!

Whoosh! Buzz…

With Void Presence+ activated, and with me going over through the plan one more time, I did not hesitate to activate Ranged Absorption this time, aiming it towards the big boss as his blood gushed through my proboscis not long after.

Slurp. Slurp.

"Huh?" Unfortunately, just when I was savoring the taste and viscosity of a person's blood at the Qi Condensation stage, this boss decided to wake up from his sleep and sit upright. I have a feeling his body felt that he was weakening by the second, forcing his brain to wake his body up. Is that a perk of being at the Qi Condensation stage?

Anyways, at this point in time where he just woke up, I have already s.u.c.k.e.d up 300 points of blood from this body. And by the looks of it, it's not stopping at 1500 from the vitality he's currently exuding.

"What the…" the big guy could not help but mutter as he tried to stand up from his chair, his legs slightly trembling as he could not help but feel his body weakening by the looks of it. After standing up, he stayed in place for a few seconds as it took a while for him to realize what was happening to him, only screaming after I had already absorbed about 1200 points from his body. I guess he was pretty groggy.

"Aaaahhh!!!" the guy screamed, forcing all of the bandits in the same room to abruptly wake up as they looked at their big boss. Many of them could not help but gasp in shock as they looked at their boss, some even rubbing their eyes multiple times and slapping themselves, asking themselves if what they were seeing was just a dream.

Well, the reason why that's their reaction is because the bandits' big boss was actually a pretty plump guy. Right now though, it was quite the opposite as I've already s.u.c.k.e.d a lot of blood from this guy, making him look quite fit to the bandits.

"Boss, did you go through a diet?" one of the bandits could not help but ask after realizing that it was not a dream.

"I'm pretty sure the boss had fun with a lot of girls last night! If not, why would his body look like that?" another bandit could not help but say, eliciting a few boorish laughters here and there.

Hearing the statements made by the bandits towards him, the now skinny guy could not help but grit his teeth and radiate his aura to its fullest as he shouted, "Shut the f.u.c.k up, you idiots! We're being attacked right now!"

"Attacked? Us?" one of the bandits could not help but ask, looking through the windows as they tried to find signs of cultivators surrounding their den. After seeing no sign whatsoever, the bandit then said, "But there's no one attacking us?"

At this point in time, I had already s.u.c.k.e.d about 2600 points worth of blood from the big guy. Man, who knew that the difference between a peak Qi Proliferation cultivator and Qi Condensation cultivator would be this huge? Anyways, seeing the response the bandit gave him, he could not help but shout one more time.

"No one's attacking us? Then how do you explain this?!" he replied as he pointed towards his body, which was gradually getting thinner and thinner by the second. It was at this point that the bandits finally realized why their big boss said that, slightly fearing the worst-case scenario that could happen to them.

"W-W-What's happening, Boss?" one of the bandits could not help but ask, pointing at the big guy's body. At this point, the big guy's anger was its peak as he said, "Agh! You guys are useless! To whoever who's doing this, come out right now and I'll spare you!"

Spare me? How would you spare a mosquito? Anyways, I'm not going to show myself to you. You're a great source of blood points, didn't you know that? I've already s.u.c.k.e.d like 3300 points of blood from you.

Seeing as how things didn't go as planned, the big guy continued to shout for the culprit to show itself a few more times. It was at this point that the guy's shouts gradually grew weaker as I continued to suck his blood up. Finally, at 3500 blood points, he was finally growing weaker.

Of course, the bandits could not help but notice this, even the big guy himself as well. Just as he was about to faint, he then tried to shout in a hoarse voice, "Find out who did-"

Thud.

Unfortunately, before the big guy could finish his alert to his brethren, he fell to the floor with a hard thud, his c.h.e.s.t movement being the only sign he was still alive. But then, a few moments later, this movement ceased as the big guy's body was incredibly emaciated at this point, rendering him dead.

Ding!

'You have obtained 4521 points of Impure Blood Energy from absorbing this creature.'

'Human (Qi Proliferation Stage 3) -> (Qi Condensation Stage 1)'

'Constitution +0.1'

Just as the big guy fell to the floor with a thud, I obtained a few notifications from the system, regarding the big guy I just s.u.c.k.e.d blood from. Wait a second, I obtained that much blood from someone at the first stage of Qi Condensation? Just a single stage was enough to give me three times as much blood?

Well, well, well. I think I know what cultivators I'm going to target in the future when it comes to blood. Anyways, I now have about 9500 points of blood acc.u.mulated. Of course, I couldn't actually store 9500 points at once, choosing to use up most of it towards my physique, upgrading some of the parts to the next level.

Anyways, with their big boss falling to the floor, they hastily ran towards where he was, moving the big guy's limbs left and right. But then, once they felt the coldness of the big guy's skin, as well as found out that the big guy had no pulse anymore, all of them could not help but panic. Well, I would panic if I lost my backing as well. Too bad I'm my own backing.

"The boss is dead…what should we do?!" one of the bandits could not help but say, looking at the others that surrounded their big boss. Of course, there were talks about giving their big boss a proper funeral, as well as talks about who would lead the den from now on. But the topic that really aroused their attention was about who did this to their boss.

All of them could not help but think about the people and parties they've become enemies with, surprisingly excluding all of them as they told each other that they just became enemies in passing. It was then that someone spoke up about the women they kidnapped possibly doing this.

At first, the bandits were skeptical, but decided to still have a look as to whether that was the case. Of course, I followed them to have a look at the women…oh. Oh shit. I've implicated them into this mess.

Creak…

As one of the bandits opened a door that led to one of the rooms where I s.u.c.k.e.d all of the bandits dry, each and every one of them could not help but gasp as they looked at their brethren. They went closer to them and noticed that each and every one of their brethren was in an emaciated state, just like the big boss. They then looked at the women, who were huddled up, but exuded vitality.

It was at this point that the idea of the women doing it had become something set in stone in these bandits' minds, with one of the bandits unsheathing their blade as he shouted out, "You whores, you actually dared to do that to our big boss! Not to mention our brothers! Go to f.u.c.k.i.n.g hell!"

Hearing these murderous screams coming from the bandit's mouth, the women that were in the room could not help but look at the bandit, who had his blade up high, ready to chop down. Of course, the sight of the blade could not help but make them shiver. But as they heard the words the bandit said and knew that they didn't do it, they tried to refute as they said, "We…didn't…"

"Die!"

Whoosh!

Just as the bandit waved his blade down to attack the women, I activated Ranged Absorption to the fullest, s.u.c.k.i.n.g up the bandit's blood before the blade could even move halfway through its trajectory, letting the blade stop in his tracks as the bandit could not help but widen his eyes in shock over what was happening to his body.

Thud.

Not long after that, through what seemed to be coincidence, the bandit's body fell backward instead of forward, with the blade's sharp edge falling on the bandit's face as it cut through the now emaciated skin of the bandit.

Of course, this scared the other bandits who wanted to attack the women for doing what I was doing to their brethren and their big boss. If they only knew.

Anyways…now that I think about it…

Aren't I a white knight at this point?
