Chapter 262: Hunter And Prey

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All the cultivators from the Hall of Seven Sins were completely dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? This is the most powerful spell formation of the Hall of Seven Sins, but it had just been broken by a single finger?

An Lin immediately pounced on Xu Tong and Xu Yongnan after breaking the spell formation as these two should be the most loaded of the bunch.

The three of them charged forward with overbearing force. The cultivators from the Hall of Seven Sins returned to their sense before scrambling into a defensive formation.

“Hmph, you’re just Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage trash, how dare you challenge me!?”

Xu Tong genuinely felt as if he was being looked down on. He took a step forward and a domain of black mist began to spread out around him as he unleashed the powerful aura belonging to a Soul Formation Initial Stage cultivator.

“Gundam One, Gundam Two, I’ll leave these two fat little lambs to you guys!”

An Lin’s storage ring flashed with light as he spoke, and the two Gundams appeared from thin air before charging toward Xu Tong and Xu Yongnan.

“Your overconfidence will spell your downfall!” Xu Tong’s face fell as he unleashed a palm toward the oncoming Gundam.

A huge ball of flames transformed into a massive palm which flew toward the Gundam. Within the huge flaming palm were streaks of black mist in a cobweb formation, imbued with extremely powerful corrosive properties. Even iron and steel would disintegrate under the combination of scorching and corrosive powers.

One of the Gundams clutched toward the air and a blue sword of light appeared in its palm, which it then used to slash out a dazzling sword projection. The sword projection easily dispelled the huge flaming palm without losing any momentum and continued onwards to Xu Tong at a frightening speed.

“What?!” Xu Tong’s heart rate accelerated drastically. He was clearly not expecting the silver mechanical puppet in front of him to be able to dispel his attack so easily.

He began to retreat at full speed, but the blue sword projection began to lengthen as it followed him in his retreat. Before long, a deep trench over a hundred feet in length had been slashed into the ground, and the tip of the sword projection nicked his body, leaving a bloody wound in its wake.

Xu Tong clutched his chest and stared at the silver mechanical puppet before him in shock. He was beginning to understand the reason behind An Lin’s sinister smile.

Boom!

The sound of an ear-splitting explosion erupted from nearby.

Xu Tong turned toward the source of the commotion to find that Xu Yongnan’s Wind Monarch Armor had been completely shattered by a fist from the other Gundam; the fearsome force behind the fist even caused the very ground below him to peel back like layers of blankets.

Xu Yongnan, who was also Soul Formation Initial Stage, was knocked into the air like a kite that had its string severed, spewing forth mouthfuls of blood as he went.

The twenty powerful disciples of the Hall of Seven Sins had also undergone a complete role reversal. They had become lambs that were ready to be slaughtered by the three hungry wolves that were An Lin, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou.

An Lin spread his Wings of Wind, allowing him to accelerate at a frightening pace and rack up a kill with each and every step.

The first step.

An Lin’s Mountain Quaking Fist killed a seventh-stage Dao Body disciple from the Hall of Seven Sins on the spot.

The second step.

An Lin conjured up an arrow from crimson wings of flames which instantly pierced through the body of a Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage elder, causing his body to instantly melt away into nothingness.

The third step.

An Lin brought out his Evil-Slaying Sword and slashed a pitch-black sword projection toward an elder of Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, cleanly slicing the elder as well as the magic tool longsword he wielded in half.

The fourth step…

An Lin took a life with every single step, striking fear directly into the hearts of the cultivators from the Hall of Seven Sins.

Xiao Chou fought even harder than he did. He completely unleashed his Half-Step Soul Formation Stage power, swinging his silver staff around with mountainous force. There was no cultivator that could even survive more than one move against him as all of them were immediately pulverized upon contact.

Da Bai was also trying his best, but he was taking a strategic approach where he mostly targeted Dao Body cultivators. That way, he could rack up a large number of kills in a short amount of time for the best cost performance.

Every time one of them killed an opposing cultivator, they would pounce on their opponent’s storage ring like a pack of hungry wolves.

Even though they were situated on a perilous battlefield, they still prioritized snatching equipment above battling their opponents…

From where Xu Tong was, he could see that Xiao Chou even went as far as to cop a few blows in order to reach the storage ring of the cultivator he had just defeated as quickly as possible. He even took the weapon of the deceased cultivator while constantly looking over his shoulder in fear that someone would snatch his spoils of war away before him.

Xu Tong finally began to understand the situation they were in… In the eyes of An Lin and the others, they didn’t even qualify as enemies. They were all just moving treasure vaults!

“Retreat!”

Xu Tong was aware that the roles of prey and hunter and been reversed and immediately issued a command to retreat.

The cultivators from the Hall of Seven Sins immediately began to stage a retreat. In the past, it was always them that committed murder and robbery; who would have thought their three opponents could beat them in their own occupation! Their standard protocol was to kill their prey first, then distribute the spoils of war afterward. But An Lin’s group seemed to prioritize robbery above all else. It looked like they would even strip the clothes off the opponents they killed if they had a chance!

“Retreat? It’s far too late for that!”

An Lin spread open his Wings of Winds and white wisps of wind began to revolve around his Evil-Slaying Sword as he unleashed his Wind Sword technique. The Wings of Wind in conjunction with the Wind Sword technique instantly accelerated his speed to three times the speed of sound, causing him to leave sonic booms in his wake. His Wind Sword slashed like bolts of white lightning, instantly decapitating three retreating cultivators in one strike.

The rest of the cultivators absolutely sh*t themselves at An Lin’s fearsome power and began to retreat even more quickly.

“Split up!”

The remaining four cultivators all dispersed and began to retreat toward different directions. An Lin had just unleashed his Wind Sword technique and required time for cool down so he was unable to give chase.

One of the cultivators was being chased down by Xiao Chou, while another was being pursued by Da Bai.

The remaining two cultivators were ecstatic at their good luck and accelerated further in their retreat.

However, one of the cultivators suddenly met with a flaming sword strike which cut through the heavens.

His pupils contracted drastically, but he proved to be worthy of his title as a Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage elder as he managed to react just in time to conjure up three walls of ice in front of him.

However, the sword slash was imbued with extremely high temperatures, even warping the very air around it. Before the slash had even made contact with the defensive walls, the ice had already begun to sublime into vapor.

“Impossible!” The cultivator widened his eyes and only had time to exclaim his final word before his whole body was engulfed in flames.

A woman in a jade dress spread open her flaming wings, appearing as if she were a phoenix soaring through the air while also leaving sparks of lightning flashing in her wake.

She clenched her porcelain-like hand, and a storage ring fell into her grasp before she charged toward the last remaining cultivator without hesitation.

Xu Xiaolan had finally made her move. With her Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivation base, combined with her powerful dual bloodlines, her combat strength had grown to insane levels that were essentially unmatched among Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators.

An expression of despair appeared on the final cultivator’s face as Xu Xiaolan charged toward him at a speed that exceeded the speed of sound.

Never would he have thought that their ambush operation would spell their doom.

In the face of such fearsome enemies, they didn’t even have a chance to escape…

Xu Yongnan was scorched to death by Dark Purple Dragon Flames, while Xu Tong was blasted to death by hundreds of tracking spirit snake missiles as he attempted to flee the scene.

The battle ended very quickly with the entirety of the Hall of Seven Sins forces slaughtered as a result.

However, this was unimportant to An Lin and the others. What was far more important was what these guys had in their storage rings.

An Lin was the biggest winner, obtaining a total of ten storage rings, including the two from Xu Tong and Xu Yongnan.

Xiao Chou obtained seven storage rings, Da Bai obtained three, and Xu Xiaolan obtained two.

Xu Xiaolan initially planned to just spectate the battle, but the two remaining cultivators were about to make their escape, so she was forced into action.

Da Bai had obtained the least amount of storage ring aside from herself and was staring at her pitifully with his big watery eyes, so she decided to donate her two storage rings to him. Thus, the final tally was An Lin with ten, Xiao Chou with seven, and Da Bai with five.

Hence, the wealth gap was closed slightly and Da Bai was a lot more content.

Next, it was time to assess their spoils of war!
