Chapter 110: The Hunt
Once the news spread, numerous mercenary groups and adventurer parties began gathering at the outskirts of the Forest of Demons.
As soon as they spotted any younger-looking youths, they immediately put their guard up, wary of attracting trouble. But some still held hope. If the youth truly was the person Black Fiend School was looking for, they would be well compensated, even if they only provided information about him.
“Leader, many have already died, and many of our brothers have left. We can’t continue like this. Let’s notify Black Fiend School,” said a lean man at the peak of a mountain. His eyes gleamed dangerously, and his aura was fierce. He was speaking to a man in grey clothes.
“He’s taking the initiative to attack us now. This brat is trying to challenge us! I must catch him personally! I, Tao Tiancheng, want him to be reduced to a state where he can’t even beg for his life or death! Only then will the hatred and anger in my heart be extinguished!” The leader’s fury was palpable. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, his gaze filled with a scarlet hue.
“But Leader, we don’t have many men left! If we continue like this, the entire party may fall apart!” The lean man’s face grew grim. Initially, the team had been a powerful and respectable force, but now it had lost more than half its members, and many of their brothers had deserted. They couldn’t afford any more losses.
Hearing the man’s words, the leader’s face darkened.
How could Tao Tiancheng have known that a youth from nowhere could inflict such enormous losses on his adventurer party, which he had built with his blood and sweat? Yet, because of this very situation, he could not tolerate not taking revenge.
Perhaps the only way to recover all their losses was to deliver that brat alive to Black Fiend School.
“Notify the vice-leader. Have him meet up with us. Since that kid wants trouble, let’s give it to him. We’ll attack from every direction. Once he dares show his face, he’ll become a helpless fish caught in a net. I want to see if that kid really has three heads and six arms to escape!” Tao Tiancheng’s voice was chilling.
“From the information we’ve gathered, the brat seems to have several helpers. They don’t seem like average lackeys; they come from a special background. Our men have clashed with them before but didn’t manage to gain the upper hand.” The lean man couldn’t help but express concern. Everything that had happened so far proved that the kid wasn’t from a simple background. If they provoked a major sect or power, they would be facing a serious problem.
“So, what if he has a large backing? This is the Forest of Demons. Furthermore, that kid seems to be the one that Black Fiend School wants. Do not let anyone related to the brat escape! Search for them!” Tao Tiancheng commanded. This was the Forest of Demons, not the outside world. Here, only the Black Fiend School and the other two powers were the bosses.
“Leader! Leader!”
Suddenly, a person came dashing towards the mountain, panting heavily.
“What is the matter?”
The lean man asked first, slightly frowning. After going through so much he was afraid of receiving any news. Every time his men came to deliver any news, it would always be inevitably about another group of dead men.
“We have discovered the five other people who were together with the youth…… they had a huge fight, those five people have been seriously injured and would be unable to recover, it would be hard for them to retaliate against our men…… But they escaped very quickly, our men are currently chasing them.” The messenger said while panting.
Hearing the news, the lean man’s face relaxed. After so many days, finally, he had received better news.
“Was the kid seen?” Tao Tiancheng asked.
“No, only the five people were seen.” The messenger shook his head, confirming that there were only five people and not the main target.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Everything was quiet and peaceful.
But this was the Forest of Demons, no one would ever believe that it was truly peaceful. A savage beast may lunge out from the shadows suddenly and gobble someone up in the blink of an eye.
A fatty who looked around thirty years old was battered and bloodied, his face was pale. Blood was dripping from t the corner of his mouth as he dashed through the forest in panic.
The fatty turned around to check what was behind him from time to time. As soon as he saw a youth hot on his tail, his face filled with horror and fear.
To him, the youth was far scarier than any beast he had ever encountered.
“Someone, please! Help! Save me, save me!”
The bloodied fatty ran as he hollered out for help, hoping that there would be comrades nearby who could come and save him.
The youth continued following the fatty. He wore a tight and long-sleeved robe, his black hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face had a pair of deep and resolute eyes.
What was most striking about the youth was the sword and saber on his back, especially that broken sword which looked like it was going to disintegrate any moment.
The youth was Su Yi. When he opened the five interspatial bags that he had gotten from the five youths, he found plenty of cultivation resources, even several martial arts techniques, and also some nicely fitting clothes.
Just now, Su Yi had found several mercenaries who were alone, and their cultivation levels were not high either.
The strongest was only this fatty, a Yuan Xuan Realm first-grade cultivator.
Su Yi purposefully did not kill the entire bunch and let one escape. He wanted to make use of the survivor to find the rest of this mercenary group.
Anyways, Fire Bird and Snow Ape were in the shadows following after him. Even if he was to meet a large mercenary group, Su Yi had nothing to fear.
“Save me, save me!”
The bloodied fatty kept on shouting at the top of his lungs. He looked pathetic and, panicked. His face was filled with fear.
He had seen it with his own eyes. The youth may be smiling, but really, he was a god of slaughter, he was merciless. His movements were cleaner and faster compared to those who are used to killing daily.
Especially the aura from that kid, caused their hearts to tremble and gave them a chill which ran down their spines.
He had never imagined that, with his Yuan Xuan Realm First Grade cultivation, he would be hunted down by a Yuan Soul Realm Seventh Grade cultivator. The youth, on the other hand, appeared to be enjoying this as though it were a game.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the trees ahead.
It seemed as though the figure was also fleeing from something. When it saw someone dashing toward it, the figure froze in terror, immediately halting.
It was a girl, around 16 or 17 years old. Her robe had been stained with blood, and her oval face had gone deathly pale. Only her eyes retained any life, though they were filled with fear. Her aura was weak, but it could not conceal the unique charisma she carried.
The fatty, upon seeing the girl, was momentarily stunned and unconsciously stopped in his tracks.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Behind the girl, several figures burst forth. Their fierce auras filled the air, bringing with them a palpable bloodlust that heightened the tension. The atmosphere became thick with danger.
“Brother Chu, save me! It’s this kid, I have found the kid!”
When the fatty saw a man, appearing to be around forty years old, step in front of the group that had followed the girl, his expression, which had been filled with horror and fear just moments before, quickly transformed into one of hope and relief—like someone who had just spotted their savior.
