74: Chapter 74 Xiao Shun's Battle Against the King of Thousand Mountains
The two were fighting at such an extreme speed that even Chi Anlin could not see their shadows; he could only feel the incoming pressure and hear the deafening explosions.
Xiao Shun kept dodging Thousand Mountain King's attacks. The shadow he had condensed using resentment and spiritual power already possessed King Rank strength, but it was still far from enough to kill Thousand Mountain King.
The distance between the two gradually widened, and at this moment, the restraint on Chi Anlin suddenly vanished, and Xiao Shun's voice appeared in Chi Anlin's sea of consciousness.
"Run! There are two more Third Realm Cultivators hunting you!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Anlin scrambled up from the ground. As he ran toward Xiao Yue, he caught a glimpse of Yang Zheng's corpse out of the corner of his eye. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth, rushed over, and stored it into his space ring.
"Xiao Yue, run fast!"
At this moment, Chi Anlin finally understood; Xiao Shun did not want to be enemies with Yang Zheng, but had no choice but to watch Yang Zheng die.
If he had intervened just now, the hidden Thousand Mountain King would have also struck. After Yang Zheng burned his life force to kill the two Heaven Rank Experts, Xiao Shun used a demonic cult technique to absorb their souls, ultimately forcing a breakthrough to the King Rank.
Chi Anlin fell silent. In his previous world, although negative social news often surfaced online, it was far less realistic than this world.
With enough strength... could the law truly still constrain people?
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Chi Anlin began to yearn for strength. Only when he was powerful could his family and friends be free from threats.
Summoning Xiao Xing, Chi Anlin rode Xiao Yue and began to flee. After today's events, he and the Evil Cult were sworn enemies!

Xiao Shun's right arm was ripped off by Thousand Mountain King, but at that moment, a scythe swept past, severing one of Thousand Mountain King's hands as well.
However, Xiao Shun was a Spirit Refiner, while Thousand Mountain King was a body cultivator. This minor injury meant nothing to Thousand Mountain King; as his blood energy surged, the severed arm regrew.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Shun fled once again. His glasses had already been shattered before the battle started, and the clothes on his body were now formed by spiritual power.
His eyes flickering slightly, Xiao Shun dropped into a household on the ground. Thousand Mountain King's eyes were filled with indifference and disdain. Did this guy actually think he wouldn't harm civilians?
As he punched down and was about to destroy the house, a familiar aura appeared, causing Thousand Mountain King to quickly retract his attack.
Xiao Shun flew back out, and this time, he held a child of about five years old in his hands.
"Bastard! Let him go!" Thousand Mountain King's expression was grim; he wished he could tear Xiao Shun into ten thousand pieces.
"Let him go?" Blood spilled from the corner of Xiao Shun's mouth as he laughed hideously, "Old dog, this is your only remaining relative, right?"
The child trembled all over. Upon seeing Thousand Mountain King, tears welled up in his eyes, and he wanted to speak. But as he opened his mouth, Thousand Mountain King flew into a rage, and the surrounding houses shattered instantly, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Inside the child's mouth, there was actually no tongue!
"Xiao Shun! How cruel you are, he is just a child!" Thousand Mountain King squeezed the words through his teeth, his fists nearly crushing themselves.
"A child? So what if he's just a child?" Xiao Shun gripped the boy's head and said coldly, "My daughter, my students—were they not children too?"
"You forced me to kill them, time and time again. Now that I am all alone, I no longer fear your threats." Blood tears flowed from Xiao Shun's eyes. Yes, even his honest junior brother had died in battle before his eyes; what else did he have to lose now?
"It wasn't just your grandson. Over these years, the relatives you lost were all killed by people I sent." Xiao Shun waved his hand, and a pile of corpses dropped to the ground. At that moment, an object flew toward Thousand Mountain King, and Thousand Mountain King's expression changed as he hurriedly caught it.
"Old dog, you certainly have refined tastes. Even at your age, you married a young wife. It's a pity that when I cut the child out of her womb, she was still murmuring your name."
Thousand Mountain King looked at his hands, trembling. It was a stillborn fetus reeking of corpse rot—it was his child.
"You're insane!" Thousand Mountain King wept, not for a moment considering how he had once treated Xiao Shun, simply repeating, "This seat will make you pay with your life, this seat will make you pay with your life!"
Xiao Shun shook his head, and the head in his hand exploded like a watermelon, blood spraying everywhere.
"Xiao Shun!"

Chi Anlin reached out to recall his Frost Battle Soul, which had almost been beaten into dissipation, and continued to flee with a gloomy expression.
Behind him were two Third Realm Cultivators and several low-level cultivators.
"To deal with me, you dispatched a King Rank, three Heaven Rank Experts, and so many small fry. Evil Cult, you are truly impressive!" Chi Anlin nearly ground his teeth to dust. He had never offended the Evil Cult; what was the point of this?
Chi Anlin kept releasing spiritual power backward to hinder the pursuit, while his sea of consciousness was already in chaos.
Ant Queen: "I have given birth to a super smart child."
Xiao Yue: "..."
Xiao Xing: "Little Mouse is going to die! Mother, no need to save dinner for me tonight!"
"Big dummy, stop giving birth, hurry and save me! Someone wants to kill Little Mouse! Someone wants Little Mouse's life!"
Of course, the Ant Queen could not speak; Chi Anlin simply understood the general meaning.
Xiao Yue ran blindly, pushing its speed to the limit, yet the distance was still constantly closing.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chi Anlin realized helplessly that he did not have a single means to escape from a Third Realm Cultivator.
Even if he upgraded Xiao Yue's skills, he didn't have enough blood energy right now.
Chi Anlin's consciousness entered the Blood Energy Space, immediately choosing to spar against the Third Realm Cultivator in order to find a weakness, but the next second, he died and was kicked out.
The gap was too large!
Soon, one of the Third Realm Cultivators caught up to him and yanked the running Xiao Yue to a stop.
If he weren't afraid of accidentally killing Chi Anlin, he would have long since used a martial technique to blast Xiao Yue.
The next second, Xiao Yue suddenly vanished, and Chi Anlin bolted. The moment he was caught, he had directly recalled Xiao Yue into the beast taming pouch.
"Brother, whatever reward the Evil Cult is giving you, the Chi Family will give you double!" Chi Anlin didn't care about face at this moment; surviving was the most important thing. He would come back for revenge after he became stronger!
The next second, he was sent flying; the other Third Realm Cultivator had arrived!
"Don't waste words with this kid, hurry up and capture him; reinforcements will be here soon!" A trace of lingering fear flashed in this Third Realm Cultivator's eyes. They had almost let this guy run out into the wilderness.
Their spiritual power hadn't reached the exaggerated levels of a scanner; if Chi Anlin had truly escaped into the wild, they might very well have lost their target.
Chi Anlin fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Looking at the two Third Realm Cultivators with some despair, Chi Anlin let out a long sigh. He had tried his best; it seemed the author wanted to write him to death.
Who the hell gets chased by a bunch of bosses during the newbie phase!
"My life ends here!" Chi Anlin closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.
But the Third Realm Cultivator's attack was slow to arrive, and at this moment, Chi Anlin felt a chill.
"Beacon Fire King! Look, if you two hadn't wasted time, would this little guy have been hurt like this!"
Chi Anlin opened his eyes with some confusion. After seeing the scene in front of him, his pupils could not help but shrink.
The Evil Cult members who had just been hunting him were now all turned into ice sculptures.
