Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 106 Instant Kill
Early in the morning.

The sky was still dimly lit.

In a forest below Luanluo City, a boulder covered with moss and vines suddenly trembled slightly before slowly moving aside. Soon, a figure dressed in an ordinary gray robe emerged from behind the boulder.

Without a doubt, this figure was Chen Li.

He first glanced around warily, then put the boulder back in its original position.

He quickly changed his expression, smelled the fresh air in the forest, and strode down the mountain.

This is the benefit of being prepared. The Zhou family's blockade of Luanluo City had no effect on Chen Li. With this passage, he could come and go from Luanluo City whenever he wanted.

It was still early, and when he reached the shantytown at the foot of the mountain, the streets were still sparsely populated. He deliberately adjusted his walking posture.

Taking advantage of the pedestrians' inattention.

He leaped over the courtyard wall and entered an abandoned, dilapidated house.

After a cleansing procedure.

He sat down on the ground, closing his eyes to rest while secretly calculating:
"This time, we'll be making a move during the day, so we must strike swiftly and finish the battle as quickly as possible before retreating... However, we can't engage in close combat this time. My previous fighting style is too obvious and easily exposed."

His identity as a butcher is easy to find out if someone wants to.

At least the Yu family knew.

Many observant people probably have their own suspicions as well.

Among so many people on the migration route, he was the only one who received such courtesy from the Yu family. How could this not raise suspicions?

Chen thought about this and couldn't help but sigh: "Since I came to Luanluo City, I have neither offended nor provoked anyone. I have been cultivating my character and living a quiet and honest life every day."

Even so, trouble still came knocking.

This world just doesn't give honest people a way to survive!

……

It's getting light.

The outside gradually became noisy.

Compared to the 'desolate' Luanluo City, the shantytown at the foot of the mountain is more down-to-earth, full of life, with the cries of street vendors and the sounds of conversation rising and falling.

Unable to contain himself, Chen Li stepped out of the dilapidated house and strolled along the street, his eyes scanning the main road leading to Luanluo City at the foot of the mountain.

It wasn't until the sun gradually rose in the east that a group of seven monks came down from the mountain.

……

"If we keep investigating like this, who knows how long it will take? Those three have probably already escaped!" said a young Zhou family cultivator as he emerged from the home of a cultivator who had moved from Green River Village.

"Even if we can't find out, we must investigate. We must investigate openly and make a big show of it. Not only must we investigate, but we must also draw blood. We must kill a few people from Green River Workshop to establish our authority. Most of these rogue cultivators are afraid of authority but not of virtue. We can't intimidate them without doing this. Otherwise, they'll think our Zhou family is easy to bully!" An elderly cultivator said in a low voice, "Alas, what a pity for Dongbo!"

"Could it have been done by another family?"

"It's unlikely. If this is exposed, aren't they afraid of retaliation from the Zhou family? At that time, the Changsheng Sect won't be able to say anything."

Moreover, although Dongbo has a chance to reach Foundation Establishment, it's only a chance. Every family and clan has such a seed of Foundation Establishment, and even the Longevity Sect is more suspicious than them," the old cultivator analyzed.

"Hiss, haven't we always been vassals of the Longevity Sect?" The young cultivator gasped.

“Hey, vassal. Wasn’t that war a year ago a vassal rebellion…” Old Xiu stroked his beard, lowered his voice, and was about to give the younger generation some pointers when he suddenly felt a fluctuation of magical power coming from behind him. He felt a sense of alarm and looked up sharply.

puff!
puff!
puff!
puff!
puff!
puff!
Blood mist burst forth all around.

The Zhou family cultivators, who were just chatting idly, were suddenly killed in the blink of an eye by a terrifying force. Their limbs twisted and their bones cracked.

Only the old cultivator's robe automatically triggered a golden protective shield, allowing him to evade this deadly attack.

"No!" Old Xiu roared, his eyes wide with rage!

however!
The next moment, a streak of light flashed and arrived.

The top-grade first-tier flying sword, imbued with the power of a guiding spell, slammed into the golden light protective shield like a raging fire. With just one strike, the golden light protective shield, supposedly capable of withstanding Foundation Establishment attacks, was pierced through like a sheet of paper. The flying sword's momentum didn't stop there; it continued to pierce the back of the old cultivator's head, exiting from his forehead.

Old Xiu stood stiffly, his eyes wide with anger.

I was unwilling to accept it, and I couldn't believe it.

He never saw the murderer until his death.

He opened his mouth, then his body slowly collapsed, convulsing uncontrollably.

Chen Li retrieved his flying sword without pausing for a moment. He didn't even search the corpse before disappearing around the street corner. Along the way, he changed his clothes three times and his face five times until he walked out of the shantytown.

He finally relaxed.

"I never imagined that a top-grade flying sword combined with a traction technique would be so powerful!"

Also!

The master-level traction technique is as powerful as a first-tier, seventh-level spell.

With the addition of a top-grade first-tier flying sword and his own cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the power of this attack probably far exceeds the scope of the Qi Refining stage. How could the golden light protective shield possibly withstand it?

"Unfortunately, the casting speed of the traction spell is still a bit slow..."

Chen Li proceeded cautiously until he reached the vicinity of the cave. He observed his surroundings for a long time before moving the boulder and entering the cave, then quickly returning it to its original position.

Not long after, they returned home through the long passageway.

……

After that, Luanluo City was calm and peaceful.

The Zhou family halted their previous large-scale investigation, and the city gates were reopened to the independent cultivators of Green River Workshop.

Everything seemed no different from usual.

After observing for several days, Chen Li felt relieved and his life returned to normal.

One afternoon.

The wind manipulation technique, which had been researched for a long time, was finally successfully developed.

In the basement.

An endless gale raged in the room. In a daze, Chen Li felt his body merge with nature, as if he had become the wind. His body became light and he slowly floated up.

"That's it!"

"This is real flight."

He was secretly thrilled.

Compared to using magical artifacts or similar tools, this kind of magical flight is much more exciting.

He began to try flying.

Flying using the Wind Riding Technique wasn't complicated; his body moved entirely at his command, traversing the various rooms of the basement. At first, his movements were a little clumsy, but he quickly became proficient.

However, Chen Li also sensed that the flight speed was indeed quite slow.

Although limited by the environment here, he could not push his speed to the limit, but he could roughly estimate that his straight-line speed was about the same as that of an ordinary person running, far slower than that of a magical artifact flying.

Fortunately, it's not without its advantages.

First, this spell lasts for a relatively long time, approximately fifteen minutes.

Secondly, it consumes less spiritual energy.

As for speed, it can be optimized through the game panel, and even the duration of spells can be extended.

P.S.: Sorry, I'm not feeling well today, I have a cold and a headache, that's all.
