Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 174 - 165: Leveraged Assassination

In contrast, they only have a few people at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer with Magical Artifacts, while the other cultivators are wielding ordinary curved sabers.

Using Magical Artifacts and Techniques, the four people appear and disappear unpredictably, occasionally emerging to attack their brothers.

After losing several members successively, both squads realized how troublesome the four were and immediately chose to join forces.

"Gega elder, when we capture those two kids later, we should torture them properly. As long as we can force one or two Techniques out of them, we’ll hit the jackpot!"

Beside him, another stout and short man wielding a huge axe squinted and spoke.

Even though they are cultivators, these cultivators from the Western Wilderness Barbarian Race are not as wealthy, let alone compared to the Immortal Sect disciples or even the general Noble Family Cultivators.

It’s an unavoidable situation.

The entire Western Wilderness has nearly ten million people, with a large number of cultivators, many of whom are Loose Cultivators from small tribes. Hundred Beasts Mountain naturally cannot provide them with many rewards like Magical Artifacts and Elixirs.

If they were given rewards, and then the tribe migrated and disappeared, wouldn’t it be a waste?

The group was still contemplating how to capture Zhao Tuan and Shi Miao, and then loot some good items from them and extract some Techniques.

Little did they know, Shen Chongming and Chen Youran had already brought over a hundred ferocious Giant Centipedes to within two or three miles of them.

"Big brother, I think I heard some strange noises, coming from that direction..."

Among the Barbarian Race cultivators, a young man about eighteen or nineteen looked suspiciously to the left.

The others, hearing this, also looked over together.

"Could it be those two Shen Family members?!"

Someone exclaimed and immediately charged ahead!

"Gega elder, shall we go take a look?"

The stout man spoke.

The one-eyed old man nodded, and a group of more than ten people immediately rushed over!

"Young Clan Leader, it’s Barbarian Race cultivators!"

On the other side, Chen Youran saw vague shadows in the distant forest and, looking closely, discovered those rushing Barbarian Race cultivators.

Seeing this, Shen Chongming’s expression showed delight.

"Youran, prepare the Invisibility Talisman."

Chen Youran nodded and immediately took an Invisibility Talisman out from the small pouch he carried and held it in his hand.

Opposite, the Barbarian Race cultivators, upon seeing the two of them, were first stunned, then overjoyed!

"It’s those two escaping Shen Family members!"

"Haha... Celestial Wolf God bless us, after circling around, we’ve run into them again!"

"Go quickly, don’t let them escape again!"

More than ten Barbarian Race cultivators saw Shen Chongming and Chen Youran seemingly running straight at them, and were instantly overjoyed.

"Capture them alive. That little one is said to be the Shen Family’s Young Clan Leader!"

"Capture him and offer him to the lord. In exchange, we can definitely get plenty of Magical Treasures and Elixirs!"

The one-eyed Gega shouted upon seeing Shen Chongming.

"Young Clan Leader, it’s about time."

Seeing that they were close, Chen Youran felt somewhat anxious.

Noticing the Barbarian Race cultivators already drawing their bows and aiming arrows, Shen Chongming couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

Whizz!

Whizz!

Several arrows shot over, and he immediately grabbed Chen Youran’s hand.

A flash of light passed by, and the two of them suddenly vanished!

The clear breeze blew by, a few fallen leaves floated up, leaving no trace of the two before their eyes.

More than ten Barbarian Race cultivators came up to the scene, frowned, and looked around.

"Search carefully, they won’t just... What’s that!?"

The Barbarian elder named Gega hadn’t finished speaking when he heard a rustling sound from afar!

When he turned his head to look, he saw over a hundred Giant Centipedes, exuding Evil Qi, charging quickly!

A few arrows that originally aimed at Shen Chongming and Chen Youran were now flying right towards the head of the foremost Giant Centipede, nearly a zhang in length.

Clink!

Clink!

The arrow infused with Spiritual Power struck the Giant Centipede’s head, merely sparking without causing any harm.

Yet this group of centipedes had been chasing Shen Chongming and the two all along, failing to catch up, and their target had suddenly vanished.

Their pent-up anger had nowhere to vent, just as they were coincidentally attacked by the Barbarian Race cultivators.

Screech!

The Centipede Demon, nearly a zhang long, let out a sharp cry and immediately charged at the Barbarian Race cultivators!

"It’s a Demon Beast!"

"A poisonous Demon Beast!"

"Run quickly!"

Seeing the dense mass of giant centipedes charging forward, the Barbarian Race cultivators had no intention whatsoever of engaging them; they turned and ran.

"Trying to escape?"

From a large tree in the distance, Shen Chongming and Chen Youran had already left the battlefield, but upon seeing the Barbarian Race cultivators not even attempting to resist, they immediately raised the Great Bow in their hands.

"If I let you escape, won’t my efforts have been for nothing..."

As his words fell, an arrow pierced through layers of tree crowns, flying towards the one-eyed Gega!

Before this, he had tried to sneak attack the old man with arrows.

But this old man was extremely difficult to deal with; his single eye seemed to have cultivated some sort of Pupil Skill, always easily dodging his arrows.

However, now things were different.

With many Giant Centipedes at the Qi Cultivation Realm and above pursuing, suddenly disrupted by Shen Chongming’s arrow, the one-eyed old man was instantly enraged and cursed!

"Sneaky little brat!"

"Don’t let me catch you!"

While dodging arrows, his speed had slowed down.

"Ah!"

"Uncle, save me!"

"Big brother!"

In the moment of delay, the crowd heard wrenching screams.

These Giant Centipedes rushed forward, with sharp claws and teeth like cold killing machines. Some at Demon Beast level even unleashed Demon Essence and indiscriminately spewed a massive amount of pitch-black poisonous mist everywhere!

Instantly, more than ten Barbarian Race cultivators were shrouded in the pitch-black fog.

A brief battle erupted in the fog, with flashes of Technique light.

In just a few breaths, was filled with dense screams, until finally, the one-eyed elder uttered an unwilling curse as the commotion within the poisonous mist slowly subsided.

"Such powerful poisonous creatures!" Hiding in the distant tree crowns, Shen Chongming and Chen Youran couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing that the battle had ended.

He had guessed these Centipede Demons were difficult to deal with, but hadn’t expected them to be so fierce.

In just a short span of ten breaths, a team of more than ten cultivators was wiped out.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the pitch-black poisonous mist was slowly being absorbed back into the bellies of the Qi Cultivation Realm Giant Centipedes.

After dispersing, the smaller centipedes left behind only piles of bones and scattered weapons on the ground.

Having dealt with the Barbarian Race cultivators, the Giant Centipedes at Demon Beast level raised their heads, scanning around, seemingly still trying to find Shen Chongming and Chen Youran.

The two held their breath, hiding in the tree crowns.

This group of centipedes, unable to find anything, reluctantly left.

Once confirming they were gone, the two descended from the ancient tree, as Zhao Tuan and Shi Miao also approached.

"Young Clan Leader, where did you find these centipedes? They’re terrifying!"

Shi Miao, having obviously witnessed the previous scene, couldn’t help but speak with some fear.

Shen Chongming squinted towards the direction where the centipedes disappeared, wear a thoughtful expression.

"Grandpa said that areas occupied by powerful Demon Beasts are likely to spawn Exotic Treasures..."

"That poisonous miasma spawned so many Centipede Demons, and one larger one hasn’t chased us... Could there be some treasure?"

Upon hearing this, their eyes instantly lit up.

Zhao Tuan then spoke with a serious expression: "Those Demons are too strong; we cannot deal with them ourselves; it’s too risky."

Shen Chongming nodded.

Having seen the terror of these toxic creatures, he naturally wouldn’t venture in recklessly.

"These have already been dealt with, and there are no other Barbarian Race cultivators in the vicinity. Let’s head back first."

"As for that area, we can tell Uncle about it later and let him take a look."

The Barbarian Race cultivators’ Magical Artifacts had already been thoroughly corroded by poison, seemingly completely destroyed.

The four didn’t bother to pick them up, immediately heading to the camp in the mountain.
