63 Fighting and Killing a Trapped Beas (1/2)

In the Pond Cloud Rainforest, the ground was wet and marshy. There were foot-long centipedes and countless venomous snakes. Other than that, there were even more beasts that lurked.

It could be said that just being in the forest's periphery was an intense moment at every turn.

Although Wang Baole had not truly entered the forest, the initial Hallucination realm test had been made to imitate this forest, including many details that had been made to mirror the true scenes from inside. So, on some level, Wang Baole could be said to be familiar with the Pond Cloud Rainforest.

At that moment, he had sunk into the mud. He had an antidote pill in his mouth and was motionless, tolerating the discomfort he felt in the mud. Only one eye and one nostril was outside, his eye narrowed to observe the situation.

Soon, Wang Baole's heart began beating faster. A man in black appeared before him. This man was moving fast, running at full speed while searching, and he held a circular Dharmic artifact in his hand.

Wang Baole squinted after noticing the Dharmic artifact in the man's hands. Although he did not know what it was for, with his position as a student of the Dharmic Armament faculty and as triple Head Prefect, he could tell from its appearance that it was a searching Dharmic artifact that utilized fluctuations.

After all, the moment one reached the Physical Seal Realm, they could seal their body. Thermal imaging would lose all effectiveness. Only Dharmic artifacts that relied on fluctuations to search would work in such an environment.

The moment he saw the Dharmic artifact, Wang Baole felt that something was amiss. However, he did not have much time to think and flew out from the mud with a bang. Just as he emerged, the man in black—who seemed to have no inkling of Wang Baole's position—suddenly reacted at the same time as Wang Baole. He moved toward Wang Baole's previous position!

With a bang, Wang Baole's previous hiding spot exploded, with mud flying in all directions. If he had been a little bit slower, he would been completely injured.

Wang Baole had escaped by a hair's breadth. His eyes showed panic, and he turned to escape.

”Wang Baole!” Seeing that Wang Baole had missed, the man sneered as he took large steps toward the fleeing Wang Baole. Releasing his Pulse Enrichment cultivation powers, his speed grew explosively, and he caught up in an instant. He raised his right hand to grab Wang Baole.

But… just as he caught up to Wang Baole, there was a sudden alarming suction force behind Wang Baole. This suction force was so strong that it caused the expression of the man in black to change, and he was pulled forward till he staggered.

It was just one step, but it was enough for Wang Baole. His body suddenly moved, and his gaze no longer showing fear; instead, it was ferociousness and the killer instinct of someone being hunted.

”You want to kill me? I want you dead!”

As he roared, Wang Baole suddenly raised his right hand. As the man in black was trapped by the suction force, his body was unstable. In that instant, Wang Baole grabbed the man's wrist, and with a snap, his bones broke.

Before the man in black could cry out, Wang Baole had already taken the opportunity to go behind the man and covered his mouth. With his veins protruded and his breathing rapid, Wang Baole twisted the man's neck viciously!

With another snap, the man's eyes widened, and he convulsed violently for a while before stopping.

The surroundings fell silent. Only Wang Baole's breathing was heavy. Even though he had twisted the man's neck, Wang Baole still covered the man's mouth, only releasing him after more than ten breaths. His face had lost all color, and he looked blankly at the body of the man in black.

”I killed someone,” Wang Baole muttered to himself, his body beginning to shake. However, his gaze slowly showed… a sense of killer instinct after having a bloody experience. This killer instinct was different from his previous viciousness. To be accurate, his viciousness had been a youth's bravado, but this was different!

After a long while, he raised his head. In the darkened forest, his gaze was bright, causing him to have a sort of deterrent force.

Wang Baole took out the man's personal belongings after a long silence. He looked at the searching disk. It was completely black; clearly, it could only be opened with special methods, and a normal person would have no way of using it.

Some of these special methods relied on fingerprints, some on irises, others the smell of blood and the rising and falling of Spirit Qi. It was just like a password.

Wang Baole squinted as he looked at the searching Dharmic artifact. After placing it in his storage bracelet, he took out seven or eight Dharmic artifact seals, adjusted them, and placed them in the clothing of the corpse. He thought for a moment before hiding some flying swords in the surrounding mud and adjusting the Inscriptions to have a chain effect. Then he left, burrowing into the surrounding foliage, and disappeared.

Before long, three men in black approached in a hurry. The moment they arrived, they saw their dead companion, and their expressions changed. On high alert, they scanned the surroundings. Once they made sure there was no trace of Wang Baole, they approached the corpse with terrible expressions to check where the critical blow had been.
