Chapter 153 – Show of Power in Nan Dou
These cultivators were all in the middle stage of Core Formation. They usually focused solely on cultivation. Whether it was the three major sects or the Fighting Evil Sect, they would all be polite to these people.
If it weren’t for the emergence of the assassination order, these people wouldn’t have appeared.
A man with a ruddy complexion but a sinister expression stared at Wang Lin. His pupils shrank as he slowly said, “We must act immediately. If this continues, it will definitely attract the attention of Nascent Soul cultivators. Although there are no Nascent Soul cultivators within 100 million kilometers of Nan Dou, what about those outside? Once a Nascent Soul cultivator arrives, we will have no chance of success.”
An old man who saw Wang Lin easily kill a Core Formation cultivator said softly, “This guy is only in the early stages of Core Formation, but why is he so strong? Seeing how the old demon Shanguan was even willing to become his disciple, even if we act, we probably won’t be able to get anything from him.”
“There’s also that flying sword. I’ve never seen a flying sword that can teleport before. That sword must be at least a Nascent Soul-rank treasure, or even a Soul Formation-rank treasure. That sword has already killed 100 people.”
“Hmph, didn’t you see the ten corpses that were originally dragged behind that demon? They were the elders of the Fighting Evil Sect. He can kill Core Formation cultivators as easily as he kills insects. If you’re still filled with greed, that’s your problem. I won’t get involved in this mess. Farewell!” One of the cultivators looked at Wang Lin, his eyes filled with fear. After he finished speaking, he took out a boat and immediately left.
The remaining cultivators pondered silently until one of them suddenly said, “The messenger from the deep sea is about to arrive. I’m willing to kill this person to save my hundreds of years’ worth of savings. Once I obtain that cultivation pill, I’ll be able to reach the late Core Formation stage and protect my savings.”
A wrinkled old man took a deep breath and said slowly, “So do I. My life will be over if I can’t raise my cultivation level within the next 10 years… this time, no matter what, I have to try!”
With that, his body moved as fast as lightning toward where Wang Lin was and was followed by the other cultivators.
The remaining cultivators remained silent, but they were carefully watching the two of them. They had decided that if the two of them showed even the slightest chance of winning, they would all act. But if they had no chance at all, they would all leave so as not to make this person their enemy.
Wang Lin put away the dead Core Formation cultivator and held the golden core in his hand. He looked at the scattered cultivators and sneered in his heart. He slapped the dragon vein and said, “Come out. For today, you can devour as much as you want.”
The demon inside the dragon vein couldn’t resist all the delicious food before him. However, he didn’t dare to come out without Wang Lin’s command, but after hearing Wang Lin’s words, he laughed and jumped out of the dragon vein. Revealing his true form, he quickly jumped toward a fleeing Core Formation cultivator. The cultivator’s body twitched slightly before finally withering and becoming a skeleton. Red mist came out of his head, and he laughed. “It tastes good! I can finally eat now, so I’ll eat until I’m full!”
Wang Lin glanced at the demon and then turned his attention to Li Muwan. Li Muwan’s face was pale as she stared at the demon, biting her lower lip.
He didn’t know what it was, but he felt scared when the demon appeared.
Wang Lin averted his gaze and glared coldly at the demon. The demon immediately left, thinking, “Who wants to be near you? The further away you are, the better. I’d rather never see you again. The world is vast; how comfortable it would be to be free.”
However, even he himself knew that was too much. The devil muttered to himself as he chased after the cultivators. Just as he revealed a sinister smile and was about to devour a cultivator, a golden light pierced the cultivator’s chest. He cursed loudly. Just as he was about to leap at another cultivator, there was another flash of golden light.
After the demon left, Li Muwan’s heart gradually calmed down. She hesitated for a moment before turning to Wang Lin and asking, “He… he?”
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. There were no other cultivators within 100 meters of him. All the dead cultivators were wrapped in dragon veins and flew behind him like a cloak.
This battle caused Wang Lin’s name to spread throughout the entire Nan Dou region. At least 1,000 corpses were scattered behind him, covering the sky.
The red “Punishment” mark above his head had changed from a great temptation to the mark of a powerful cultivator.
“It’s a demon,” Wang Lin said calmly, staring at the two rays of light coming toward him from over 1,000 kilometers away. He closed his eyes briefly before turning around and leaving.
“Shan Guanmo, Mu Nan, Me Bei, have you three seen enough?”
The cold voice echoed in the three of their heads. Shang Guanmo’s body shivered as he focused his thoughts once more and flew towards the two cultivators heading in this direction. His heart was in complete disarray. Although he had known this demon was powerful, he hadn’t expected it to be this powerful.
“The death spell… is truly terrifying… if I don’t die this time, then no matter what, I must try cultivating it. If I have this power, I can walk sideways in the outer reaches of the demon sea.” Shang Guanmo took a deep breath and no longer felt guilty about handing over his soul blood essence.
Wherever they are, the strong will be respected. This is especially true for the sea of demons.
Mu Nan and Mu Bei’s attitudes became the same as Shang Guanmo’s. With this demon’s power, the Evil Warrior Sect had no chance. If they wanted to survive, they would have to follow this powerful demon.
The two of them looked at each other before gritting their teeth and quickly following Shang Guanmo.
Shang Guanmo looked at one of the people and laughed. “Ha ha, if it isn’t Old Man Ouyang. We haven’t seen each other for a while, so let’s get intimate for a bit.” He immediately touched the sword behind his back. The black sword shot out and attacked the old man.
As for the Mu brothers, although they were both early-stage Core Formation cultivators, they were used to fighting together. They fought at a disadvantage but were still able to hold their own for a while.
Wang Lin’s gaze swept across the Core Formation cultivators 1,000 kilometers away and his eyes became cold.
The surviving cultivators had fled into the distance. They all hoped to grow an extra pair of legs to escape faster. Wang Lin’s figure was now engraved in their hearts and would never disappear.
Among the four remaining mid-stage Core Formation cultivators watching from a thousand kilometers away, the ruddy-skinned old man shook his head. He turned around and was about to leave when his pupils suddenly shrank.
A man and a woman stood ten feet behind him. Above the man’s head was a blood-red “Punishment” symbol.
The remaining cultivators realized what was wrong and all took out their treasures as if they were facing a great enemy, but none of them dared to act first.
Wang Lin looked at the four of them and said coldly, “Get lost!”
Of the four, only the old man, who was about to leave, showed a grateful expression and immediately left. The faces of the remaining three turned from red to white as they slowly retreated. One of them snorted and said, “Today’s matter…”
Li Muwan secretly sighed and thought, “Why don’t you just leave? What’s the point of saying these useless things?” Sure enough, before she could finish speaking, Wang Lin frowned and waved his hand. His Ji Realm flew out, and the cultivator’s eyes instantly turned blood red. He held his head before it exploded with a bang, and the blood-covered golden core flew into Wang Lin’s hand.
The remaining two cultivators turned and ran without a word. Wang Lin stared at them. He left a mark on them with his Ji Realm.
At this moment, the cultivator fighting Shang Guanmo let out a miserable scream and immediately fled. As he fled, a demon and a crystal sword suddenly appeared before him. The demon growled, “Stop stealing from me! This is mine! Mine!”
However, he was still a step too late. After a flash of golden light, a large hole appeared in the cultivator’s chest.
After half an hour, the cultivator fighting Brother Mu died under Shang Guanmo’s sudden attack. Wang Lin put the crystal sword back into his body, and the demon reluctantly returned to the dragon vein.
“Continue leading the way!” Wang Lin’s voice was extremely cold and his killing intent was oppressive.
Wang Lin knew that if he wanted to earn a place here, he had to show his strength, and the Evil Fighting Sect was the best place to do so.
At this moment, Mu Nan and Mu Bei deeply respected Wang Lin from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Mu Bei, who showed unconditional respect in his eyes as he quickly led the way toward the Evil Fighting Sect.
In front of Wang Lin, the vast number of corpses radiated a deadly aura. This display was more effective than any words. Many cultivators with malicious intentions who saw the thousands of corpses immediately turned pale and retreated, afraid of getting caught in this mess.
