Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Hunting

Kuangsha Sect was situated on a solitary mountain by the sea, with the vast ocean at its rear. On this side, the mountain cliffs were steep as if carved by a knife, forming a natural barrier. Unless one could fly, it would be extremely difficult to climb over this side of the mountain.

Like White Cloud Sect, the presence of Kuangsha Sect had fostered the development of a bustling town here, where a massive quantity of goods was transported daily, supported by the strength of several nations for the disciples of Kuangsha Sect.

In the town, Shi Hao experienced extreme luxury.

Beautiful women were abundant, and the town was drowned in decadence.

He made a slight disguise, donning a hat, and then started to gather information everywhere.

In just two days, he had come to understand the current situation of Kuangsha Sect.

In fact, Kuangsha Sect was flourishing like never before!

They had indeed discovered an ancient relic and obtained several ancient texts that contained methods to breakthrough to the Other Shore.

With this, they not only lured away a batch of elders and genius disciples from White Cloud Sect but also from Leihuo Sect and Tianhai Sect.

With so many strong fighters and geniuses joining, how could Kuangsha Sect not be powerful?

Now, they were studying the ancient texts. If they could unlock the secrets to stepping beyond the Other Shore, then in a few years, once they broke through, this world would only have Kuangsha Sect left.

Shi Hao just smiled, thinking that if anyone were to break through to beyond the Other Shore first, it would be Bao Dongsheng and the great elder. Kuangsha Sect still had to decipher the texts and then cultivate, which was far slower in terms of time.

But the people of Kuangsha Sect didn’t think so, believing that the overall situation was already settled.

Now, they were simply letting White Cloud Sect and the others linger on their last breath. Even if these sects didn’t destroy themselves, once Fu Yang broke through beyond the Other Shore, they could easily annihilate the three major sects.

This was an unprecedented dominance!

Having gathered the intelligence, Shi Hao began his hunt.

Before long, he intercepted a group of Kuangsha Sect disciples on their journey.

He appeared, blocking their path.

“Who are you to dare block our way!” These disciples were all arrogant and presumptuous.

As Kuangsha Sect was in its heyday, they naturally shared in the glory, everyone acting as if they could raise their eyes to their foreheads.

Shi Hao smiled, “Anyone who vows to forever leave Kuangsha Sect, I shall spare his life.”

The group was initially stunned, then both outraged and amused.

“Have you gone mad, boy?”

“You dare threaten the people of Kuangsha Sect!”

“Kill him!”

All the disciples surrounded Shi Hao with furious momentum, ready for combat.

Shi Hao spread his hands, “I’ve already given you a chance.”

“Finish him off!”

The disciples all made their moves, attacking Shi Hao.

Boom!

Shi Hao stomped his foot, and instantly, seven streams of flames spread from under his feet, burning the seven people.

The flames moved so swiftly that those seven couldn’t escape, instantly turned to ashes.

But there were eight people in total. The last one advanced two steps forward then suddenly stopped, his face showing a look of terror.

How could he not be frightened?

With a single stomp, seven people were burnt to ashes!

He immediately knelt down, “I swear! I swear! From now on, I will leave Kuangsha Sect!”

Shi Hao shook his head; as of now, he could only precisely control his soul to launch seven attacks, otherwise, there should have been eight flames.

No help for it, his Soul Power was still not strong enough.

“Too late!” Shi Hao showed no mercy, and with a mere thought, the last disciple was also burned to ash.

Having achieved his goal, Shi Hao flicked his sleeve, not taking away a single cloud.

Eight disciples being killed, leaving behind only a patch of ashes, this event immediately caused an uproar within Kuangsha Sect.

With the Kuangsha Sect’s current might, someone still dared to snatch hair from a tiger’s mouth?

This made everyone in the Kuangsha Sect incredibly angry, everyone was determined to capture the murderer and tear him to pieces.

A vigorous search operation commenced, unfortunately, they had no idea who the murderer was—how could they possibly find him?

Not only did they fail to locate Shi Hao, but on the contrary, the squads that went out to capture him were successively annihilated.

—Without an expert of Soul Nurturing above the seventh step presiding, facing Shi Hao gave them no chance to even flee.

This caused a great loss of face for the Kuangsha Sect.

They, now evidently the foremost power in the world, were being hunted. How could they stand it?

However, various Other Shore powerhouses were busy decoding ancient texts; how could they spare any time?

Shi Hao continued his massacre, causing widespread fear within the Kuangsha Sect.

Compelled by the circumstances, several Other Shore strongmen had to withdraw from decoding the ancient relics to lead teams and search the mountains for Shi Hao.

Shi Hao, not at all restrained, soon encountered a search team.

He directly attacked them, but this time, an elder from the opposition suddenly leaped forward, striking out with his palm flashing a vermillion gold brilliance, like an exceptional divine blade.

Other Shore Realm!

Shi Hao flashed a smile; his merciless spree here first meant to retaliate, and second, it was to delay the Kuangsha Sect’s progress in decoding the relics, buying time for Bao Dongsheng and others.

Now, his plan had succeeded.

He wouldn’t choose to meet the attack head-on; instead, he initiated the Cloud Piercing Step, quickly retreating.

“It’s you!” the Other Shore Realm elder roared, “Shi Hao!”

He had seen Shi Hao at the Mang Mountain Relics; such a handsome appearance was naturally recognizable at a glance.

“You still think you can escape?” He couldn’t contain his fury—having killed so many in the Kuangsha Sect, did you think you could escape unscathed?

Just a Soul Nurturing—if it wasn’t for Bao Dongsheng’s protection, you would have been killed long ago.

Now you’ve brought yourself to die?

Heh, let me fulfill your wish.

However, as he gave chase, he was startled to find that he couldn’t catch up to Shi Hao!

He was astonished, questioning what was going on.

How could someone of Soul Nurturing have such incredible speed?

No wonder even Ma Youfu and Liu Shixuan had died at this young man’s hands; this youth truly had shocking methods.

But he immediately affirmed that Shi Hao must be using a movement technique to enhance his speed, which would inevitably make his strength consumption surge. Therefore, if he kept up the chase, he could completely wear Shi Hao out.

However, Shi Hao quickly dashed into a cave.

—This was an escape route he had prepared in advance.

The Other Shore powerhouse didn’t hesitate to follow him inside.

The light dimmed and soon turned pitch black.

This wasn’t a mine, but a natural cave.

The Other Shore powerhouse scoffed coldly; he was naturally familiar with the terrain—Shi Hao had run into a dead end.

Death—ah!

Suddenly, a pillar of glare that was extremely harsh to the eyes shone from ahead, instantly making him nearly blind, and his eyes painfully teared up.

What kind of technique was this?

He quickly stood firm, assuming a full defense posture.

But after a short pause, no attacks came, and the painful eyes somewhat recovered.

He hurriedly resumed the chase, yet, after just two steps, that blinding pillar of light immediately shone again.

Damn it!

In this moment, his heart collapsed.
