Chapter 121: Violence Against Violence, Killing Against Killing
Black Wind’s words were definitely not bragging. Whether it was Yun Yi or Hu Quan, neither of them believed that Black Wind was boasting. Yun Yi understood this well, as he had been in contact with Black Wind the longest and knew his strength perfectly.
Hu Quan had already witnessed Black Wind’s power; anyone who could easily crush an Innate War Weapon was not someone to be taken lightly, right?
"It’s easy to kill these people, but without knowing how many of them there are, we should not act hastily and alert them. Besides, the spirit stones haven’t been fully mined yet. Why are we in such a rush? Let’s wait a bit longer until the spirit stones are almost finished being mined later tonight before we take action."
Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Hehe, you are really quite cunning, not willing to let go of even a small spirit stone."
Black Wind chuckled.
"Black Wind, go check the situation and see how many people are inside and outside the spirit stone mine."
Yun Yi instructed.
"Okay."
Black Wind swayed its body, and with a flutter of its shining wings, it vanished from sight.
"Can this cat fly?"
Hu Quan’s eyes widened. While flying cats were not unusual, he had never seen one from the innate realm. After all, cats were not flying demon beasts. Black Wind’s strangeness gave Hu Quan a bit more confidence in Yun Yi.
For gathering information like this, there was no one better than Black Wind. This little cat moved like the wind, making it very hard for enemies to notice it.
Before long, Black Wind returned and stood back on Yun Yi’s shoulder.
"What did you find out?"
Yun Yi asked.
"Outside the spirit stone mine, there are two seventh-grade Demon Humans in the Innate Realm—the two guys drinking and eating meat. There are five tents, each with four guards. One is sixth-grade in the Innate Realm, and the others are not worth mentioning. Inside the spirit stone mine, there are a total of eighteen supervisors in the Innate Realm, two of whom are sixth-grade. The others are not worth mentioning. There are about a hundred people with shackles inside the spirit stone mine, working hard to mine. At their current rate, they will definitely finish by late at night."
Black Wind reported, having thoroughly understood everything about the spirit stone mine in this short time, especially the enemy’s strength.
All together, the enemy’s strength included two seventh-grade Innate Realm experts, seven sixth-grade Innate Realm experts, and thirty-one others, all of whom were skilled in the Innate Realm.
"So many people, it seems hard to attack."
Yun Yi frowned. He thought that while these people’s strength wasn’t very strong, there would be no pressure for him and Black Wind to kill them all; it would be completely easy.
But because there were too many of them and they were quite spread out, it would be difficult to strike them down in one blow, not giving them a chance to react.
This spirit stone mine was Yun Yi’s first battle against Pan Hong, and he did not want to expose his goal so quickly; after all, there was still a long time ahead.
"It’s not easy for Pan Hong to gather so many experts to serve him."
Black Wind remarked.
"Of course, if it were simple, how could he create such a bloody storm in this Jade Wheel City?"
Yun Yi replied.
Time passed by second by second, and a large number of spirit stones were continuously taken out from the spirit stone mine. According to Yun Yi’s estimation, there were at least two hundred twenty thousand spirit stones now; the spirit stone mine had basically been fully mined, and it was almost time to take action.
The two leaders of the seventh grade of the Innate Realm, having drunk a lot, were quite tipsy. At this moment, their alertness was at its lowest.
"Get ready to act."
Yun Yi narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Brother Yun, how should we attack? I will follow your plan."
Hu Quan looked at Yun Yi.
"Black Wind, you attack from the outside. Start with those people outside the tents. Remember, take down one if you can, but don’t make any noise. I will go into the spirit stone mine with Brother Hu and deal with those eighteen people first. Today, I want to not only collect Pan Hong’s more than two hundred thousand spirit stones but also eliminate all his subordinates without letting any escape."
Yun Yi’s tone suddenly became extremely cold, a chilling killing intent surged from within him. If at first he only wanted to take Pan Hong’s spirit stones, after seeing these people’s actions, Yun Yi changed his mind; these people all deserved to die.
"Hehe, good, the Cat Lord is going to go wild tonight."
Black Wind smiled slyly, danced with excitement, and after Yun Yi assigned the tasks, he turned into a black shadow and rushed out.
"Let’s go, we need to take action."
Yun Yi shook his body and felt his way toward the entrance of the spirit stone mine. In his hand, a long sword glimmering with cold light appeared. Hu Quan closely followed him, his hand on the sword with visible veins, filled with killing intent. His heart was full of hatred, and if he had the chance to eliminate these strong enemies and take revenge for those who died and for his suffering companions, Hu Quan would not miss it.
Just as Yun Yi said, in Hu Quan’s heart, these people deserved to die even more.
Inside the entrance of the spirit stone mine, about ten feet away, two black-clothed men in the third grade of the Innate Realm were chatting boredly, leaning against the wall.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light passed by, and the two men felt a chill at their necks. They instinctively raised their hands to touch, only to find them covered in blood.
Fear spread across their faces as they desperately covered their throats with their hands, but they couldn’t stop the blood gushing out like a fountain. They opened their mouths to scream but couldn’t make a sound and could only lean against the wall, weakly collapsing into death.
"Hurry up, damn it, a bunch of slowpokes, the spirit stone is almost done being mined, soon I’ll bury you all here."
A voice shouted inside the spirit stone mine.
Two shadows flashed through the long cave like ghosts. After they passed, six bodies leaned against the stone wall, all with the same wounds. They had all been killed by a single sword strike to the throat and had no time to scream before dying.
"Hurry up, your suffering will soon be over. In a moment, you will be sent on your way; the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn."
That voice sounded again.
"They want to bury us here."
"Damn it, these killer demons! We helped you mine the spirit stone; why do you still want to kill us?"
"I won’t do this anymore. Since I’m doomed anyway, I’ll fight back!"
…
Suddenly, there was chaos inside the spirit stone mine. The trapped Spirit Cultivators were all filled with anger. They had thought that after mining the spirit stone, they would gain a new life, but these men in black didn’t care about their lives at all and had no intention of letting them go.
"Damn it, are you rebelling? Or seeking death?"
Someone cursed loudly, followed by the sharp crack of a whip.
"Brother, there are twelve more. Let’s take advantage of the chaos inside. Leave those two sixth-graders from the Innate Realm to me; you go kill the others, and stir up those angry Spirit Cultivators to create some noise, drawing attention from outside, giving Black Wind a chance."
Yun Yi said.
"Alright, let’s do it."
Hu Quan nodded and rushed out, holding his sword upside down.
