Chapter 42: Hunters? More Like Prey!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Eh? Isn’t this…”

Zhou Feng noticed a strange item while he was sorting out the things in his storage bag.

A bright-colored blood cicada appeared in his eyes.

He recalled that he had obtained this Blood Cicada Jade Pendant from Zhao Jun.

Moreover, he had used this Blood Cicada Jade Pendant when he was channeling his Qi.

However, the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant could only provide very little Spiritual Qi, so it didn’t have much of a presence.

Thus, Zhou Feng had gradually forgotten about the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant.

But now, it seemed that the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant had undergone some changes.

The color of the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant actually became brighter as he wore it.

It was as if it was about to come to life.

“What’s going on?”

Zhou Feng was naturally very puzzled by this change.

Could it be a treasure?

He sensed the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant and found that other than the change in color, it was no different from before.

The only thing he could verify was that the Blood Cicada Jade Pendant was still emitting Spiritual Qi.

Wearing it for a long period had some benefits and no disadvantages.

Since Zhou Feng could not figure out what was going on, he did not pay any more attention to the matter.

After sorting out everything, Zhou Feng had a clear understanding of his strength.

After that, he could not hold it in any longer.

Given his current strength, the success rate would be extremely high if he were to launch a sneak attack against another Qi Induction cultivator.

As long as no one knew about his first attack, then no one would be prepared for it.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of tonight.

He would take the initiative to start the hunt. After all, once the hunt was successful, the rewards would be too great.

First, his cultivation could increase in a straight line, and whether it was his Blood Qi or Spiritual Qi, they would be greatly replenished.

Then, according to his previous experience, the skill panel’s progress bar would increase every time he successfully swallowed a Demon-Devouring Gu.

At that time, he might be able to obtain another passive skill.

Naturally, such a high reward made Zhou Feng’s heart flutter.

Since he was already leaning toward the Demonic Path, he would go all the way to the Demonic Path.

Rushing for quick gains and benefits was not within his consideration.

He would do it as soon as he made the appropriate plans!

Zhou Feng started to choose his prey.

Currently, there were not many people in the Qi Induction realm on Bitter Bamboo Peak, and he was acquainted with even less.

After searching for some time, he found Senior Brother Sun at the foot of the mountain.

This Senior Brother Sun was average-looking, and his clothes were very ordinary.

On the surface, he did not look like a Bitter Bamboo Peak disciple at all. After all, the people on Bitter Bamboo Peak basically looked like they had mental problems at a glance.

It was as if they were mentally ill.

However, this Senior Brother Sun was unusually normal and looked harmless.

But in reality, Zhou Feng was very sensitive to the malice in this Senior Brother Sun’s eyes when he looked at him.

He possessed Battle Instinct, which would be triggered as long as anyone looked at him with malice.

Battle Instinct was almost always triggered on Bitter Bamboo Peak. There were too many freaks on the mountain.

Zhou Feng relied on his Battle Instinct, so he had found this Senior Brother Sun spying on him in a hidden corner several times in a row.

It was precisely because of this that he had chosen Senior Brother Sun as his hunting target.

With a cultivation similar to his and constantly spying on him in the dark, this was an excellent hunting target.

‘Let’s wait until it gets dark! It’s too flashy to take action now!’

Zhou Feng looked at the sky outside and planned to wait until the night before taking action.

However, what he didn’t know was that this Senior Brother Sun, who he was planning to hunt, was also taking action in secret.

“Tomorrow is the martial arts competition. Tonight should be the most relaxing time for everyone! My success rate should be the highest tonight! Don’t you agree, Little Flower?”

Sun Gui revealed a pleased smile in a dark room.

He was holding a rotten head in his hands. It seemed like Sun Gui was talking to the head in his hands.

The head had already started to rot, and it constantly gave off a stench.

Unexpectedly, one could vaguely see that the original body of the head should be a woman.

Sun Gui’s bed was covered with a big red blanket, and a red candle was placed on the table beside him. It was as if a wedding had been held.

“As long as I eat this person, I can live again! My strength will increase!”

“Little Flower! Do you think I have fulfilled your instructions again?” Sun Gui’s smile became even wider.

The scene in this dim room seemed especially strange.

A man was holding a head and laughing wildly for no reason. This was completely different from Sun Gui’s usual harmless appearance.

“Little Flower! Just you wait! Soon, there will be one more person to watch our wedding!”

After saying that, Sun Gui placed the rotten head on the bed. Then, he picked up a big red bag and covered the head.

As soon as the head was covered, the smile on Sun Gui’s face disappeared without a trace.

As usual, his face was very calm. If one ignored the surrounding environment, they would think he was just a normal person.

Sun Gui, who had placed the head properly, immediately started to operate the Demon-Devouring Technique.

A huge amount of Spiritual Qi was crazily circulating in his body, and the thin Spiritual Qi in the surroundings was forcefully sucked toward him.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi was compressed into spiritual power, and it was further purified.

If someone was here, they would definitely notice that Sun Gui was not in the Qi Induction realm but in the Qi Condensation realm!

Moreover, he was in the 9th Level of Qi Condensation, and his spiritual power was about to be liquefied. He was half a step away from the Soul Altar realm!

The pale moonlight rose and shone into Sun Gui’s room through the window.

A row of heads was placed under the bed.

If one head meant that Sun Gui had eaten one person, then Sun Gui must have eaten at least a dozen people.

What was even more terrifying was that basically no one on Bitter Bamboo Peak hid their cultivation. Low cultivation meant they were easy to bully, and all kinds of trouble would come looking for them.

At the same time, no one knew this method of hiding their cultivation.

Sun Gui was clearly at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation, but on the surface, he gave off the feeling he was at the 3rd Level of Qi Induction.

This was really too confusing.

It was very likely that a few people on Bitter Bamboo Peak had treated Sun Gui as their prey, but they died instead.

The row of skulls under the bed was evidence.

What was even more coincidental was that Zhou Feng had chosen Sun Gui as his prey and planned to make a move tonight.

Sun Gui had chosen Zhou Feng as his prey and planned to make a move tonight as well.

Both parties had simultaneously become hunters and prey.

But what Zhou Feng didn’t know was that Sun Gui’s cultivation had long reached the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.

If he wasn’t careful, he would very likely be crushed and instantly die.

Catching Sun Gui off guard?

It was more apt to say that Sun Gui had long caught him off guard and ambushed him!
