Chapter 30

Standing about thirty meters away from the cave while hiding behind a rock, Xie Ao Yu watched the people who patrolled about the cave entrance. His eyebrows wrinkled up.

These people’s strength weren’t worthy his attention.

But inside the cave was that bald man Te La whose strength was lower Spirit-levelled. That was stronger than him by two tiers. If they had fought one on one, Xie Ao Yu could use Overlord Dragon Boxing and Scarlet Lightning Exploding Chop together with the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword, which wouldn’t necessarily kill him, not to mention that there was also Carlos who was an upper Advanced-levelled master.

If he killed people, disturbing them, then they wouldn’t be kind to him.

What should he do?

Xie Ao Yu squinted his eyes as he looked at the cave, thinking how he could possibly ensure his safety under these circumstances while also secure the top-level fighting skill.

As he was thinking, he heard something roar angrily.

“Roar!”

The small mountain vibrated.

Xie Ao Yu’s eyes lit up, the cave had spirit beasts in it.

Following the loud angry roar, a fight broke out inside. When the people outside responsible for patrolling heard it, they drew their weapons, hesitant to charge in there.

Then they heard someone inside the cave scream, “There’s poison!”

Then the sounds ceased.

A gray cloud of smoke came out, emitting a nauseous odor. The people in charge of patrolling all clutched their noses and mouths while retreating back.  

“Bang bang bang…”

The sound of loud clashing came from inside.

A person’s silhouette let out a miserable cry and flew out of the mouth of the cave, landing heavily on the ground. On his chest was a deep wound that revealed bone, it was fatal. His face’s color had become grayish-green, bleeding everywhere until death.

He had been poisoned to death.

“Hurry up and retreat!” Te La roared out. He fled from the tunnel, the cane knife in his hand lifted high. He was lower Spirit-levelled, his fighting strength was far above most people. Qi entered into the cane knife, and then brandished the cane knife and it gleamed in the light.

(TN: So 冷芒 is apparently supposed to be like the shine that you see, like in anime when they draw their swords. Or something like that… Better translations are welcome)

Carlos and other others also fled from the cave.

Shua!

Until everyone was out, Te La prepared his knife and then slashed..

Once the knife slashed, a flash of light could be seen going through the air. From inside, a spirit beast at least two meters tall lowered its head and charged out, using the two horns on its head to block.

“Clang!”

The blade’s light hit the horn.

The spirit beast collapsed and issued a cry of pain, and began moving backwards. This also angered it. It began to growl crazily, opening its mouth and spitting out grayish-green smoke.  

Seeing this, Te La began to retreat quickly.

The spirit beast took this opportunity to charge forward and kill, trying very hard to kill Te La. The poison smoke in its mouth tumbled out, and at the same time it used it horns to charge.

The spirit beast was two meters high, three meters long. It had the body of a bull and the tail of a snake. Its fur was grayish-green. It seemed to be carrying liquid poison. It began running forward, causing the ground to vibrate and shake.

The spirit beasts strength was indeed not small, and it also had poison smoke, forcing Te La and the others to continually backpedal. Mostly it was the poison smoke which had already poisoned three people to death.

“Carlos, take some people into the cave. I’ll distract him.” Te La yelled out.

Carlos agreed, bringing two people with him as they charged towards the cave.

The spirit beast saw them and stopped, moving to go stop them.

Te La loudly yelled: “Full strength block!”

More than ten people moved out, blocking the spirit beast from going back. In a moment, they became a mess, making it hard to see who was who. Seeing the situation, Xie Ao Yu wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by him.

He crouched down, preparing to increase his body’s speed to its limit.

The moment Carlos and the two others reached the cave, he scurried forwards.

Te La and the others were using all their energy to deal with the spirit beast—after all, it was a spirit beast that could spit out poison smoke, not a spirit beast that used magic. They didn’t dare let it take the slightest effect on them. Thus, they didn’t discover Xie Ao Yu’s existence.

Once inside the cave, Xie Ao Yu frowned.

It was too stinky!

“This smell is probably the cave guardian’s stench.” Xie Ao Yu muttered. Because it smelled so bad, he guessed that most people who rushed in would be forced to retreat due to the smell.

It stank, but more importantly, on the walls and ground there were traces of grayish-green liquid. Apparently it was very toxic. If one wasn’t careful, there was a possibility of being poisoned.

Xie Ao Yu warily crept forward.


The cave wasn’t very deep. It was about twenty meters long. In the middle was a bend. Xie Ao Yu looked around the bend and only saw Carlos ’s and the two others had already reached the end.

Among these three people, for Xie Ao Yu, the only danger was Carlos.

Carlos was upper Advanced-levelled, stronger than Xie Ao Yu by one tier, but Xie Ao Yu was confident that with his advanced fighting skills and the holy weapon Lightning Spirit Holy Sword, he would still be able to defeat him. The key question was, how could he not alert Te La who was outside. That was the biggest problem.

Xie Ao Yu also saw, at the dead-end, there was a pile of weeds that were laid down to rest upon. On it was a wooden chest. It was being used as scrap wood, and was placed at the bottom, and if one didn’t carefully search, then it wouldn’t be found. Carlos ’s three had already found it and were staring at the wooden box.

The was nothing special about the wooden box, but on it was a bit of grayish-green liquid.

Obviously it was traces of poison left behind by the spirit beast.

Under Carlos ’s commands, the person to his left took off his coat, using the coat to grab the wooden box and wrap it up, trying to isolate the poison.

Tying up the wooden box, he used strength to tug it out.

The wooden box was covered by some weeds, twigs, and other things. With this tug, some of the weeds and twigs flew up, some which hit a person’s face.

“Ah!”

This person immediately used his hands to grab his face, painfully stumbling onto the ground.

Carlos and the other man quickly retreated back, trying to avoid the weeds and twigs. Those things probably had been contaminated by some of the grayish-green liquid. It was all poisonous.

And it was at this time Xie Ao Yu suddenly sprang out.

Lightning Spirit Holy Sword slashed out.

Scarlet Lightning Exploding Chop!

A crimson electric light came from Xie Ao Yu’s body and exploded out, gathering onto the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword, changing the sword into a crimson color.

The sword’s light broke the air, targeting Carlos .

Originally trying to dodge the poisonous weeds, Carlos hadn’t thought that there would be people behind him to sneak attack. When he had noticed, the attack had arrived. He frantically tried to dodge to the side.

“Pu!”

The sword light still heavily hit Carlos ’s back.

Breaking through his qi defense, almost destroying his body. The shock made him spit blood. He rushed forwards. Xie Ao Yu was unforgiving, stepping forward and slashed again.

The heavily injured Carlos tried to use his sword to block.

“Kacha!”

Before the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword, his sword was no use. In one chop it was cut into two, and his head was also chopped off by Xie Ao Yu.

Poor Carlos , his strength was superior to Xie Ao Yu’s by a tier, but he hadn’t even had a chance to fight back before being killed, dying without much struggle. After killing Carlos, Xie Ao Yu stretched his left pinky out.

His pinky touched the wooden box, and the toxin immediately receded.

He used this opportunity to pick up the wooden box. He saw the person who had come with Carlos running away and had almost turned around the corner. He lifted his fist and threw a punch into the air.

(TN: Smh. MC is so sloppy with cleanup. Clear enemies before grabbing loot. Basic tactics.)

Overlord Dragon Boxing!

The punch struck heavily and made the person explode.

(TN: I’m getting the impression that this scene is going to occur again in the future…)

Xie Ao Yu knew that this would definitely alert the people outside. He placed the wooden box into this space ring, sped up, and ran out of there as fast as he could.

As soon as he had rushed out, he saw Te La use his full strength behind his sword to push back the spirit beast. He was about to come to the cave and kill.

The two stood face to face.

“Here’s a gift.” Xie Ao Yu lifted his hand and used a Scarlet Lightning Exploding Chop.

He was very clear that he was weaker than Te La by two tiers, and even with the Lightning Spirit Holy Sword and the top-level fighting skill, if he wanted to defeat him, it would still be very tough. Thus, he needed to use a killing technique.

Countless crimson electric lights combined together, forming a sword light, and flew out.  

“Ought to die!”

The bald man Te La raged. He brandished his knife then cut.

The knife broke the attack, but he was still pushed back three or four steps. His arms were a bit numb, but he hadn’t been injured. Angrily roaring, he wanted to charge forward to kill, but in the end the distance that he had backed up had just happened to place him back in the attack range of the spirit beast. It opened its mouth and spat out more poison smoke.

Te La was hopping mad. He could only brandish his knife, form a strong wind, and disperse the poison fog. By the time he had turned his back again to face Xie Ao Yu, Xie Ao Yu had already run away fifty, sixty meters.

“Capture him!” Te La commanded his underlings, he lifted his knife and began to chase Xie Ao Yu.

Xie Ao Yu laughed out loud, increased his speed to its max, like a flash of lightning. As for Te La, by the time he had taken two steps, he heard tragic screams behind him.

His underlings had been fatally poisoned by the spirit beast.

He wanted to chase and kill, but his underlings were in danger. These were the elite of his men, ah! During this moment of hesitation, Xie Ao Yu had already escaped out of sight.

Te La was angry but could only vent out his rage on the spirit beast.

The Xie Ao Yu who had escaped identified a direction, and ran in that direction for two, three thousand meters. Only after reach a small valley did he stop. Only after checking his surrounding and making sure that there wasn’t anyone else around did he pull out the wooden box.

(TN: 10/10 MC would piss off strong enemies just for some garbage)
