Chapter Sixty: Silent Pursuit and Slaying

  In the blink of an eye, all six people left the cave. Just as they did, the entire cave collapsed with a loud rumble.

  Outside the cave, six people stared at the collapsed cave in shock. Then five pairs of eyes were fixed on the little pig in Lin Fan's arms, all of them were shocked beyond measure.

  "Lin, brother, this little pig in your arms is too terrifying, what level of spiritual beast is it?"

  After listening to Xiao Bai's words, Lin Fan's face revealed a hint of helplessness. What level of spiritual beast was the Little Meatball? As soon as he mentioned this matter, he felt speechless, because the Little Meatball he obtained in the Magic Mountain Range was not a spiritual beast at all, but a demon beast.

  "The little meatball is not some spiritual beast, but a demonic beast."

  "Magic beast?" Upon hearing that the little pig in Lin Fan's arms was actually a magic beast, everyone had an expression of disbelief. Just now, the little pig's loud oink was absolutely earth-shaking and soul-stirring, causing the entire cave to shake with its might. With such power, according to everyone's guess, the little pig in Lin Fan's arms was at least a third-grade spirit beast.

  Lin Fan let out a faint sigh, knowing that the little ball of flesh in his arms was blaming him for not taking it to find the Earth Spring water. With no other choice, Lin Fan could only bring the little ball of flesh along with him to search for the Earth Spring water.

  Without saying another word, the two parties agreed to meet at a designated location. Lin Fan immediately left the cave and headed towards the northern part of Tian Shan. With the map drawn by Yatu, Lin Fan was not worried about finding the location of the Spring Water. However, Tian Shan was too vast, and they were currently in the south, while the Spring Water was located in the north, a distance that seemed insurmountable.

  Everything was a vast expanse of white, with cold air hitting him in the face. Unbeknownst to him, Lin Fan had been walking for about three days and nights, and just as he reached halfway, he saw the one person he least wanted to see - the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group.

  From a distance, Lin Fan found that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group had only nine people, missing only the young woman he had struck down with one sword. The nine of them seemed to be heading towards the northern part of Tian Shan as well, but their speed was not as fast as his.

  The Duoya Mercenary Corps had a total of nine people, with Duoya, the leader, being a mid-level War King. The remaining eight people, including Yueying, were all War Masters, except for one Great War Master. Lin Fan sneered coldly in his heart and had already decided that he would give the Du Lang Mercenary Corps a big gift on this trip.

  Lin Fan's figure instantly disappeared on the spot as he unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique. The Tian Shan mountains were always icy and snowy, with snow turning into water and water being part of the five elements, so Lin Fan could use the snow on the ground to escape.

  Several hundred meters away, the moonlight doll's face was deathly pale, and she looked like a vampire had sucked her dry. She could barely walk and needed to be supported by a woman beside her.

  "Master, I must avenge".

  "Yue Ying, I'll leave this matter to you. I won't rest until that person is eliminated. However, now isn't the right time. Atu's strength surpasses mine, and if we make a move now, I don't have even a slight chance of winning."

  This matter made Du Ya feel depressed and he really couldn't understand how the Qinghuo Mercenary Corps had gotten involved with Atu, a high-level War King. Even he had to be cautious of him, after all his cultivation was only just breaking through mid-level War King.

  "Master, why not ask my father to take care of this person?"

  "It's not good, General will hand you over to me. Now that you've been so seriously injured, if the general finds out, I'm afraid the entire continent will be in an uproar. It's not worth it for a young whippersnapper like you. For now, Lin Fan is just hiding behind the Qinghuo Mercenary Group. After the Tian Shan trip, I'll have someone investigate this person's background and I'll definitely avenge you."

  When Moon Shadow heard Poison Fang's words, a hint of displeasure clearly flashed across her face. However, due to Poison Fang being her master's senior, she ultimately didn't say anything more. Just then, a burly man behind them suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream as he stared at his feet, which had been severed clean off at the soles. The man's anguished cry instantly pierced the sky and reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Mountain.

  He quickly came to Da Han's side, his venomous voice coldly asking: "Who exactly did it?"

  Shaking his head, enduring the pain coming from his feet, the big man said resentfully: "I don't know, I really don't know what happened, Captain, save me, save me".

  "There wasn't a single Han lying on the snowy ground, and Du Yifeng's face was slightly gloomy as he said: 'Everyone stick close to me, beware of the enemy taking advantage of our emptiness'."

  He pulled Moon Shadow to his side, leaving the remaining six people surrounding Venomous Fang. The eight of them looked somewhat unsightly because up until now, they hadn't even seen a shadow of their enemy and had no idea who was attacking them.

  "Master, could it be someone from the Green Flame Mercenary Group?"

  "It's impossible, the Azure Flame Mercenary Corps doesn't have that kind of power. Even if it were Artur the War King, he wouldn't be able to silently take out a war master without me noticing," Moon Shadow hadn't even finished speaking when Toxin said directly, because in his heart, he was very clear that no matter how strong Artur's powers were, it was impossible for him to be so ghostly and invisible.

  Time ticked by, and the sky quickly darkened. For a full seven hours, the mysterious person did not reappear. However, the eight members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps did not relax their vigilance in the slightest. The only sound that could be heard across the entire horizon was the weak cry for help from the big man on the ground.

  However, no matter how desperately the Great Han sought help, the remaining eight members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps seemed to have not seen anything at all. The moon was high in the sky, and it was only then that the eight decided to continue on their journey.

  "Captain, save me, you can't abandon me", seeing the eight people about to leave, the big man who fell to the ground seemed to use his last bit of strength and barely let out a final cry towards the eight.

  Other members of the mercenary group couldn't help but feel some sympathy, and a thin man spoke up: "Captain, Xia has made significant contributions to our team in the past. Is it really right for us to leave him behind like this?"

  Upon hearing the thin man's words, Poison Fang's face turned cold and his voice became somewhat impatient as he said: "Now that our archenemy is before us, if we were to bring along a burden, not to mention him, even if it were all of you, who would sympathize with you when you're killed?"

  The six of them, no matter how unbearable it was, did not dare to speak up again because they were all too aware of how ruthless their captain was; one misstep and even his own people might be killed.

  In the end, the eight of them left, not caring about their former companions behind. That night, the eight mercenaries didn't stop and continued on their way. As time passed, the eight members of the Wolf Mercenary Corps, including Du Ya, gradually relaxed their vigilance. After all, nine hours had already passed, and the mysterious person hadn't appeared again.

  Just as everyone relaxed their vigilance, the thin man walking at the end let out a scream again, and his feet were also cut off, with blood splashing all over the snowy ground, reflecting in the moonlight, looking somewhat terrifying and eerie.

  "Which of you gentlemen is joking with the Poison Wolf Mercenaries? If there's something wrong, I'd rather you come out and say it clearly. This sneaky behavior is truly shameless."

  A thin, small man's howl accompanied the night wind, and a majestic voice came from not far away, "Toxic Fang, you actually dare to mention shameless with me? It's really shameless to the extreme. I think that as a strong warrior king, you actually trampled your own face underfoot. I'm truly ashamed for you. To give you a little punishment, I'll follow the Toxic Wolf Mercenary Group for the next few days and kill you all one by one, hahaha..."

  As the laughter faded away, the entire snowy mountain regained its tranquility. A hundred meters away, Lin Fan sat on the snow-covered ground, secretly laughing to himself. With his possession of the Five Elements Escape Technique, he could bully and humiliate the Wolf Mercenary Troop in any way he pleased, without giving it a second thought.

  "Master, who is this person?" Moon Shadow was a bit scared now. She had dared to come out in the first place because she had a powerful master as her backing. In fact, that was true. With a Martial King as her master, no matter where she went, she would always attract envy, jealousy and hatred.

  But things have changed completely just recently, I was first injured by a small martial artist and almost lost my life, now there is also the threat of a mysterious person, at this moment Moon Shadow only wants to go home and does not want to continue following this so-called Martial King Master who is always worried and frightened.

  Actually, Yuè Yǐng's heart was very clear that the reason why her master didn't let her inform her family was mainly because he was afraid that her father would blame him for her severe injury. However, now she couldn't even walk without being supported by others, so it was impossible for her to go and notify her family to come pick her up.

  It seems that he could guess what the disciples around him were thinking, and Du Ya's heart was cold, but his face was calm as he said: "This person is unfathomable, at least a high-level war king, but I can be sure that this person is absolutely not the Azure Fire Mercenary Group's Atu. From now on, you five will walk in front, and I will follow with Yueliangdian."

  Upon hearing this, the remaining five people's faces all showed a hint of joy. No matter what, Duxia was still a War King, and if they had a War King watching their backs, then their safety could be somewhat guaranteed.

  This time was no exception, the seven people didn't care about the thin man again, and the poisonous fang's approach really made other members of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps feel extremely disheartened. No matter what, they fought to the death for the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, but in return, they were ignored, with no one caring whether they lived or died.

  Although there were countless grievances in their hearts, no one dared to say another word because the consequences of offending a war king were severe. However, it seemed that everyone had already made some sort of decision in their minds, and it would be best to leave as soon as possible after Tiān Shān's group arrived.

  Before entering the Tian Shan, the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group had a total of ten people. However, within just a few short days, three warriors had already died one after another. A terrifying aura of death shrouded the entire group, and although no one said much about it, Lin Fan knew clearly that the current Poison Wolf Mercenary Group was no longer as united as before. If this continued for a few more times, the group would probably collapse.
