Chapter 228: Prey Becomes the Hunter

A toy should only be slowly played to death to make it more enjoyable.

"Host, these people are one of the small teams participating in this dragon hunting operation. They are also the cancer of the Spirit Pagoda. The leading man has already reached the late Golden Core stage. His strength is very strong."

Because of their strength, they openly bullied the weak.

No one knew how many people had already suffered because of them.

"Host, now we can only continue our journey after dealing with them. There should not be many people nearby. You can go all out."

Even Mo Zhu seemed to feel a trace of anger.

With a wave of his hand, a sword appeared in Bai He’s hand.

In an instant, his entire aura changed drastically.

The leading man was the strongest among them and naturally the most observant.

Even though he had never seen the sword in Bai He’s hand before, he could already feel that this sword was not ordinary.

"Everyone is out now. Hiding like that, do you still consider yourselves men?"

Scattered around, about ten people came out.

Their clothing was actually quite different from the people here.

Bai He thought, these were probably rebellious types, always liking to make themselves stand out in unusual ways.

Apart from the leading man, whose expression changed slightly, the others still looked extremely arrogant.

Each of them held a bow and shot another arrow toward Bai He.

This time, Bai He did not dodge at all.

An wall of ice suddenly appeared and blocked all the arrows outside.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, all the arrows fell to the ground.

There was no trace of the earlier embarrassment when she had been dodging.

"Fall back."

The leading man shouted in a deep and serious tone.

Although they were usually vicious toward others, they seemed very obedient to their leader.

They immediately stepped back a few paces.

Bai He’s gaze landed on the man.

"You?"

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me who are you? I have never seen you before. If you were from the Spirit Pagoda, I could not possibly not recognize you."

Just the sword in Bai He’s hand alone was already far beyond what any of them could handle.

Even if Bai He wanted to hide his identity, it would be impossible.

"You don’t need to know where I come from. Since you have offended me today, I will not let you leave so easily. All of you, come at me together. You, start first."

This was perfect.

He could test his own training results.

"Fellow Daoist, let us pretend we did not see you just now. You can leave."

"Hmph, you did not see me? But I see you now. Even if you do not want to pursue this, I do not intend to let you go so easily."

Without another word, Bai He raised the sword in his hand.

A chilling aura immediately spread out, making people feel fear.

One could even vaguely see a terrifying woman appearing behind him.

That woman’s cold expression looked even more frightening than Bai He herself.

Bai He’s cultivation was already very high to begin with.

Added to that, over the past half year under the guidance of Sky Cutter Sword, his sword techniques had surpassed many people.

At the very least, these people were not his match.

In terms of weapons alone, he already had a huge advantage.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the Sky Cutting Sword was pointed at the man’s neck.

With just a slight movement from Bai He, his life could be taken immediately.

The man’s face looked ugly and the others were even paler.

Bai He tilted his head slightly, he raising his eyebrows proudly as he looked at him.

"See, sometimes, what looks like prey is actually the hunter."

"Fellow.. Daoist, please put the sword down first. We can talk this out properly."

"I think many people must have said similar things to you before. I wonder, at that time, did you show any pity and let them go?"

Most likely not.

According to the data Mo Zhu gave her, these people were utterly evil and deserve death a hundred times over.

But that did not mean he had to become the one who killed them.

Bai He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble in this place.

"Then I will temporarily spare you."

Bai He lowered the sword in his hand.

A flash of cunning crossed the man’s eyes.

Bai He then added, "I advise you not to entertain any other thoughts. You should recognize the sword in my hand. If anything happens to me, none of you will be able to escape, even if you flee to the ends of the earth. I will ask you one thing. Answer truthfully."

The man felt that what Bai He said actually made sense.

Although he was angry, he did not dare to act rashly.

They had already made a move earlier, there was no need to suffer again. "Please ask."

"I am asking you, where is Ye Shiyuan?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you from the Lingguang Sect?"

Although they were not sure where Bai He came from, they clearly knew that Bai He was from the Lingguang Sect.

They had once provoked Bai He before, but after being thoroughly beaten, they never dared to look for him again.

They bullied the weak and feared the strong, and knew Bai He was not someone they could afford to offend.

The boy before them was alone while holding such a precious sword.

He was definitely not ordinary.

Perhaps he was also from the Lingguang Sect.

"I asked you, just answer. Who told you to ask me questions?"

"Ye Shiyuan usually travels alone. He should be with the Dragon Slayer Team."

"That’s right. No matter how arrogant he is, he wouldn’t dare offend the Dragon Slayer Team. Do you know where they are?"

The man nodded. "I do."
