"Don’t get your hopes up about those fair-weather friends. In these tis, like attracts like and birds of a feather flock together. Just ask yourself what kind of person you are, and you’ll see that’s exactly what your friends are like."
At your words, the man lowered his head.
"I won’t waste my breath further. I ask, you answer."
Without waiting for the man to respond, you continued, "Who are you?"
"My na is..."
"I’m not asking for your na, but your identity."
"I’m a Demon Hunter."
"Demon Hunter?"
Such a title, one only seen in TV dramas, made you pause in astonishnt, then you inquired further, "Are those people over there the sa as you?"
"Yeah, more or less."
"Have you co here to kill ?"
The man hesitated for a mont, then nodded slightly, "Yes."
"How did you know I would appear here?"
"Soone released information that the Chu Sect was holding a selection competition for Inner Sect disciples on Dayan Rock. They said that one of the contestants nad Li Muyun, if killed by anyone, would yield a huge fortune."
"I see."
You nodded, as the saying goes, money talks. These people are already doing extrely risky jobs for money, so with such a great opportunity before their eyes, of course, they wouldn’t let it slip away.
"Where exactly is this Dayan Rock you just ntioned?"
The man stretched out his still sowhat stiff hand and pointed eastward, "Starting from here, it’s the third mountain peak. That mountain’s base and pedestal are all rock. Standing on it feels like you can reach the sky with a wave of your hand, that’s why it’s called Dayan Rock."
"Apart from your group, are there any other organizations involved?"
"I’m not sure, so far it’s just our group of people; the rest are regular hikers."
You pondered for a mont, then stood up and walked towards the car.
Seeing you about to leave, the man quickly yelled, "You promised to spare !"
You smiled, "Don’t worry, I never kill without reason. Just stay there for two days, it will dissipate on its own."
As you were about to leave, the man suddenly steeled his heart and shouted angrily at his feigning deaf and mute comrades not far away, "Li Muyun has found you! He’s going to leave soon; if you don’t act now, there will be no chance later!"
At these words, two of the nine n imdiately reacted the fastest!
Two shadows soared into the air like falcons swooping down on a rabbit, lunging towards you!
Two Orange Talismans had long since appeared in your left and right palms, with a whirlwind enveloping your left hand and a surge of flas bursting forth from your right!
As the shadows closed in, the remaining seven people also unleashed their unique techniques, converging on you for the kill!
With a swift turn of your body, hands crossed in front of your chest, just as you were ready to use the Wind-fire Twin Spells, a familiar sweet fragrance wafted by your side, and thousands of loose strands fluttered before your eyes as an all too familiar figure suddenly materialized in front of you.
Zhao’er!?
You quickly halted your actions, with flas and whirlwind intermingling in the palms of your hands, poised to strike.
"Zhao’er, get out of the way!"
At that mont, an unforgettable image appeared before you.
She stretched out both hands, lightly grasping at the air in front of her, and those two shadows, swift as hawks, abruptly halted all motion. It was as if they obediently offered their necks right into Zhao’er’s hands!
In an instant, only to hear a "crack"!
Zhao’er’s grips had actually crushed the necks of the two n!
Afterward, Zhao’er discarded their bodies off a cliff a dozen ters away as if they were trash.
"Kill that woman!"
A woman dressed in black, holding a green-glowing blade, produced five afterimages as she ran, stabbing at Zhao’er from different directions.
Zhao’er stood still, rely lifting her hand slightly in what seed to be a slow motion, gently slicing through the air in front of her.
At that mont, you saw through the Sen Luo Eye that Zhao’er had actually sliced a fierce slit in space itself!
The four afterimages of the woman in black quickly disappeared, and the woman two ters to the left of Zhao’er kneeled down, her head slowly falling from her neck...
Don’t be fooled by the verbosity of the text; all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The remaining Demon Hunters imdiately halted, with a couple running away at even greater speeds than before, sprinting in the completely opposite direction.
However, Zhao’er had no intention of stopping.
She slightly lifted her foot and gently tapped the air in front of her, her body vanishing instantly. In the blink of an eye, Zhao’er had already appeared a hundred ters away!
The two fleeing n were frozen in ti, their bodies suspended mid-air, still posed as if they were sprinting.
From two or three ters away, she pointed leisurely at the centers of their foreheads with her delicate jade hand.
Sen Luo Eye, Insight!
Through the Sen Luo Eye, you could see that the two n’s skin was undamaged on the surface, but their skulls were completely shattered, and their brains had inexplicably vanished!
After the two bodies collapsed, Zhao’er disappeared again.
"No! Don’t kill !"
"I was wrong, I deserve to die, I..."
Four kneeling Demon Hunters had their bodies severed in various ways!
One’s head slowly "slid" off from left ear to right cheek; another was bisected at the waist, with intestines and organs tumbling out and scattering everywhere; limbs of so fell off, their bodies shattering like glass; and the last one, his body had been divided into dozens of pieces!
Blood quickly dyed the already barren Earth crimson red!
Afterwards, Zhao’er drifted over to you as serene as a gentle breeze, tilting her head slightly as she looked at you: "Yun, what’s wrong with you?"
"Gulp."
Having just recovered from the shock, you swallowed hard and forced a smile, "I was just a bit slow to react, mainly because you moved so quickly, Zhao’er."
You laughed awkwardly a few more tis, and although you hadn’t deliberately looked at the bodies, the scent of blood in the air still made you uneasy.
"Fast?"
Zhao’er tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what "fast" ant.
"No problem, I’ll explain what ’fast’ ans to you later."
As you spoke, Nine Orange Cinnabar Talismans flew out of your pocket, each heading towards one of the nine destroyed bodies. The Orange Cinnabar Talismans then transford into a blazing fire, quickly reducing the bodies to ashes, blowing away with the wind or sinking into the dust...
"Don’t kill , please don’t kill ! I have a lovely daughter! I won’t say anything!" The snake charr trembled all over with fear, kowtowing non-stop to you.
"Don’t worry, I’m not brutal enough to silence people like that. Your restraints will loosen in half an hour; then, just head down the mountain," you reassured the snake charr before taking Zhao’er’s delicate yet icy hand and speaking softly to her, "Zhao’er, can we not kill people when we act in the future?"
"What is killing?"
Zhao’er still tilted her head slightly.
