Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

However, this time Rick seemed to have prepared for something like this, given his previous experience.

As soon as the table appeared, all of his tentacles hurriedly evaded it.

Thud!

The table fell to the ground with a loud noise, causing the ground to shake. It couldn't even be imagined what would happen if it fell on someone.

A few of Rick's tentacles that were trying to sneak under the table were brutally crushed into liquefied jelly.

Although the table hadn't done what David expected it to do, it had bought enough time for him to react.

Quickly jumping to the side, without even thinking, he activated purple thunder flow to create some distance between him and Rick.

On the other hand, Leon and Sophie didn't even have time to react; after all, it happened too quickly.

They were only able to react when the table fell to the ground.

Looking at the scene, Leon sucked in a cold breath of air. If instead of targeting David the monster had targeted him, he would have been as good as dead.

And secondly, how the hell did the fucking table appear out of thin air?

It was too huge to fit in a storage ring.

"Stop! you fucking brat," Rick shouted in a voice that sounded like a demon crying.

"Let me kill you peacefully, or be prepared to suffer a fate worse than death."

Now that David had a chance to move, he was using Purple Thunder Flow to an extreme degree, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Rick's words fell on deaf ears. Instead of answering, David threw a barrage of chairs in his direction.

Each of them, glowing in purple thunder, moved at breakneck speed.

The scene was comedic; chair after chair continued to hit Rick like a bullet.

Each of the chairs that hit Rick made his expression change.

Only when they hit him did he realize how heavy these simple-looking chairs were.

If it continued like this, he would die without a doubt.

His non-existent eyes suddenly shone with a cold glint. He hurriedly changed his targets.

Rick moved like a ghost and appeared in front of Leon instantly, his hundreds of tentacles split into even more tentacles as thin as hair and attacked Leon from every direction possible.

"Somebody will have to die today," Rick maniacally roared. At this point, he had lost it.

The last bit of sanity that he had left was gone.

His body completely changed into a monster with thousands of tentacles, looking extremely hideous.

Leon didn't even realize one of the tentacles was about to pierce his heart.

Sophie, on the other hand, was frozen in fear. The sight of the monster made her heart palpitate in horror.

Puchi!

Like a knife through butter, the tentacle pierced Leon's chest and came out of his back. However, that wasn't the end. Just after Leon's chest was pierced, his body glowed in golden light.

But that didn't stop hundreds of other tentacles, which pierced his body one after the other.

Leon's body was torn to shreds in barely a moment, and what remained of him fell to the ground.

After tasting blood, Rick—no, it was better to call him a monster at this point—became even more frenzied.

His body doubled in size with red veins running on each of his tentacles.

Roar!

Hearing the bone-chilling roar of the monstrous being, Sophie fainted on the spot.

"What the fuck?" David muttered in shock, his heart engaging like a war drum.

What just happened?

Suddenly, one of his teammates died, and in such a brutal way at that.

David didn't know what to feel; at this moment, his mind wasn't working properly.

"Calm down, panicking isn't going to solve anything,"

David thought in his head and forced himself to calm down. He had to calm down; otherwise, his fate would be no different than the meat patty lying on the ground.

Suddenly, David's eyes widened. The monster moved towards Sophie lying on the ground.

The distance between him and the monster was too much; even if he ran at his fastest speed, he wouldn't be able to save her.

But he just couldn't. After he had just invested in her, if she died it would be too much of a loss. Moreover, she was the daughter of the Sect master. At least he had to try.

However, before he could take a step forward, a giant blob of light appeared in the air.

David felt as if the giant blob had eyes and was looking at him. He hadn't been able to solve one problem, and another appeared.

"Look what happened to you, Old Third,"

A voice that David had heard many times in this place reverberated. It was filled with pity.

Roar! After hearing the voice, the monster became even more frenzied, as if it had met its arch enemy.

"Let me end your suffering, my brother."

"It pains my heart to see you in such a state."

The blob wiggled as if he was really sad about Rick's situation.

Forgetting, he was the one who persuaded him to take over the body.

"Disappear," Old First spoke once again in a cool and calm voice.

Following his words, Rick's body started to liquefy and flow toward the ground slowly at a snail's pace. Of course, Old First was using his authority as the spirit; he wasn't strong enough to directly kill Rick.

Roar!

The monster roared again. However, this time his roar was filled with pain.

"Now what to do with you?" Old First turned his attention away from Rick and focused on David.

David was looking at the scene in front of him with a plain expression on his face. Internally, however, he was shouting.

"Fucking hell! What is this thing?"

Old Second also looked at the screen while frowning; things weren't going as they had planned before.

He had to take action before things went out of control.
