The rushing of the wind and the cooing of an unknown night creature filled the air of the dark forest. Weaving between the thick trees is a shadow frantically running with all his might. Although the sun has not yet set on the horizon yet the Dark forest covers its remaining light with its gloomy aura.

Shin Jiao didn't know how long he has been running but he could not stop as his senses are telling him that someone is tailing him from behind.

When he escaped the town he was forced to face a group of people. Though he manages to lose the track of those who are chasing after him, he didn't expect that Ding Gushan's people would wait for him outside of the town.

At that time…

"Hey! That's him!" shouted one of the men wearing a hood.

Upon hearing their companion, the rest of the men turn their eyes towards Shin Jiao's direction. Though he expected as such, yet he never would have thought that around 30 men are waiting for him outside.

Without a word, Shin Jiao dashed out of the gate and into the grove of trees with the men in hood following closely after him. Shin Jiao sent his spiritual sense out and found that other than the 30 people no one else is following. With Shin Jiao's range of spiritual sense, he is able to detect almost all the life signs around him at a kilometer distance. And inside the radius, he can only see the 30 people on his tail.

Looking at their cultivation Shin Jiao sneered and really thanked the heavens that the people chasing after him didn't have any gold core expert.

When they were already a few distances away deep inside the forest Shin Jiao abruptly stopped. The people chasing after him saw this in their spiritual sense.

"Hey, I think the lad is already giving up on his life. When we catch him, the master will really be happy and is going to promote us, right? Or we can just ask for some spiritual stones."

"That servant seems to be hiding something for the master to target him personally. If we can get that then we'll be rich."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to be killed by the master? Be my guest… although it is tempting but I still want to keep my little life thank you."

"Haha, you guys are thinking too much. I know what the master wants with that guy. We just have to get it from him, and then the rest of his treasures will be split between us." The man who seems to be their leader interjected. He is the one running ahead of the group while chasing Shin Jiao.

"You are right, boss!"

"Yeah let's do that."

When the people arrive where Shin Jiao stood before, they noticed that the place is a small clearing. Using their spiritual sense, they saw that the young man they are chasing is currently sitting leisurely atop a huge tree branch.

"Haha, what guts you have a young man. Waiting for us like this makes me think that you wanted to fight all of us in here." The man who is their leader suddenly said as he steps forward.

Shin Jiao didn't say anything and just nods his head. Then he jumps down the thick tree branch he was sitting on and slowly landed on the ground. When he landed he carefully patted the dirt off his robe. Then his gaze turns towards the 30 people in front of him which didn't hide their desire to obtain his items. Upon seeing this, goosebumps suddenly ran across his body. He could not help himself as he involuntarily shudders under their gazes.

These people could not help themselves having this reaction as their gazes are currently on his waist which has too many pouches tied on them and also the small bag he carries on his back. Shin Jiao has already seen those gazes multiple times so he is not new to this kind of treatment.

"Young man, hand over the legacy and we can spare your small life. Or else don't blame us for being too cruel." The man said as he calmly observes Shin Jiao.

Their master has already warned them that the young man is a very unique fighter. They should not underestimate him for being only a primary-stage core-forming realm cultivator, as being one didn't mean that he is weak.

The leader of the group immediately lifted his finger in the air and the people around him suddenly surrounded the young man.

"Now, I don't want to repeat myself… hand over the legacy or suffer the consequence." The man said with a stalwart and commanding tone.

He has led a lot of his men in the shadows of the town of Crow. No matter how hard the town's guards and the magistrate tried to search for them or stop their activities all of these ended up in failure as their master and the rest of the leaders like himself would always slip through their grasps. They have a grip of power in the slums and the underworld of the town, and if they so deemed it, they could actually control the town.

But of course, that is if there are no powerful cultivators within the clans living within the town.

As far as the man is concerned, the mission this time is already in his bag and that the young man is already a goner. What he just wanted to probe is the legacy that their master is talking about.

Shin Jiao didn't move an inch and just watches the group of men encircle him. Since there are no gold core realm cultivators within their ranks, he is confident that he could defend himself or even escape with his life if he fights the group.

"The lot of you always talk about the legacy this and legacy that. I wanted to amuse you but, I'm just confused about one thing. What are you crazy people talking about?" Shin Jiao said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, all of them look at each other and a little confusion suddenly appears on their faces under their hood.

"Cut the crap! We know you possess a legacy, so don't bother to hide it from us. And since you don't want to cooperate, then don't blame me for being impolite! Get him!" shouted their leader.

Upon hearing the command of their leader, everyone around Shin Jiao immediately draws their weapons. Then without a word, they rushed in towards Shin Jiao attempting to subdue him by their numbers.

Shin Jiao upon seeing this, hid his hand under his robe while he gets himself into a fighting stance. Then he quickly grabs the gun from the holster on his back. He then set his eyes on the closes person in the group. With a quick movement, he swings his hand in an arc and pulled the trigger twice along the path.

Silver flashes suddenly appear and a bullet flew out from the barrel of the gun with the speed which is invisible to the naked eyes.

Puchi! Puchi!

Two crisp sounds of flesh tearing resounded through the air and two bodies suddenly fell to the ground. One of them has his neck blasted in half and the other one which seems to be behind the man has his forehead blasted open with a fist-sized hole that passes through behind the man's skull. His blood and brain matters are scattered on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the group which stood a little distance from them showed an astonished expression. He actually didn't see how two of his men died in just a blink of an eye. All he saw was the young man waving his hand and a flash of silver lights. Then a lot of things suddenly enter his mind, one of them is that the legacy of the young man they are chasing might be an artifact. Then his eyes suddenly turn red in greed as he tried to imagine what kind of artifact they could get from the young man.

But instead of attacking, he decided to just wait and see with anticipation. He wanted to observe more so that he can see if there are other artifacts the young man holds.

After Shin Jiao disposes of the two, the others didn't budge and continue on their assault. Shin Jiao gracefully evaded the incoming weapons as the people began attacking him as soon as they got closer. Shin Jiao also didn't stop his movement, but as soon as he moves silver flashes would appear and a corpse would immediately follow falling to the ground. Shin Jiao was able to utilize his spirit sense to the max in this fight.

With his strong spiritual sense, he is like a person looking down on the battlefield as he can clearly see every action that every person is making. It's like a game in 3D where he is the player, playing his character standing in the midst of his attackers.

It didn't take long for Shin Jiao to dispose of all his enemies. Though he successfully defeated everyone, he was not spared of any wounds. His robe right now has traces of blood due to the light wounds he received from the attacks send by his enemies. Even the bag on his back which he is carrying along with his provisions now wore some holes on them and some of the foods are now on littering the ground.

"Is that all you've got?" Shin Jiao calmly said as his gaze turns to the corpses surrounding him.

The leader of the group was dumbfounded and almost could not believe what he is seeing. His men who have been working under him for many years are now all sprawling on the ground lifeless. The fight was so quick that what he saw was the blurring figure of Shin Jiao and flashing light, then his men falling with either a hole or two on their head and sometimes on their chest.

"You!" the man suddenly pointed at Shin Jiao with his shaking hand.

He didn't expect that the unassuming young man in front of him is a god of death. If he has known that this would have happened, he could have prevented his men's death and just trailed the young man until their master arrives. Now that everyone is already dead, is too late for him to regret.

But of course Shin Jiao didn't wait for the man to do anything, he immediately flicked of his hand and a flash of silver light suddenly appear. When the man saw Shin Jiao's action, he immediately activated something and with a loud sound, something hit a sturdy barrier surrounding the man.

Ping!

Shin Jiao was astonished as the man actually has a defensive treasure on himself. And that it is strong enough to defend even the enhanced bullet of his gun. Even since he became a cultivator he is able to enhance the firepower of his gun through combining his spiritual Qi to the already enhance bullets. With the combined power, his bullets can even tear through a gold core Qi field and wound a gold core realm cultivator, though it is not yet powerful enough to kill one.

Upon seeing that Shin Jiao's attacks cannot hurt him, the man's confidence suddenly rose up. Then he immediately took out a scimitar looking weapon from his pocket.

When Shin Jiao saw this his eyes glowed, as he discovers that the man has a spatial tool.

Now Shin Jiao's eyes showed a greedy expression. And this time he wanted to take the spatial tool of the man as compensation for their group's audacity to attack him. With a word, both of them suddenly rushed towards each other and immediately clashed.

Shin Jiao didn't use his gun but instead took out a unique looking dagger. While buying things in town, he saw this inconspicuous looking dagger sitting on a corner. When he asked for its price the store owner, just smiled at him and give him a very low price which astonished Shin Jiao.

This is because; the dagger actually resonates with his absolute sense at that time. He can clearly feel the strong majestic aura trapped within the dagger. His absolute sense is a higher sense which only saints immortal or deity realm cultivators possess. So it can detect powerful and unnatural auras within his surroundings.

As they clashed, the man quickly brandished his scimitar and hack towards Shin Jiao's head. He didn't care anymore if Shin Jiao died or not. All he wanted to do is to end the young man's life and obtain the legacy. Because if he hesitates, he is sure that he is the one who will die.

The low-grade soul level Qi field scroll he activated would only last for 3 minutes. So he should rush in killing Shin Jiao before it disappears.

The man brandishes his weapon along with his techniques. Shin Jiao on the other hand dodge carefully and as fast as he could as the man is using his Qi along with his scimitar. Wind blades and flame slashes erupted from the weapon as it flew towards Shin Jiao. Now his already torn robe became more tattered as he desperately defended each attack.

Shin Jiao also didn't stop when he noticed that he can't even use the dagger to break the Qi field surrounding the man's body. He began to combine his weapons; gun and dagger suddenly assaulted the man's barrier. But no matter what he does it's all useless.

When Shin Jiao was about to give up, the dagger on his hand suddenly reverberated. Then he noticed that his blood has already drenched the handle of the dagger. But the most curious thing is that the blood has actually dried.

Before Shin Jiao could know it, a sudden surge of power filled his hand. When he saw the man swinging his scimitar towards him once again, he unconsciously waves the dagger on his hand and found that his senses became too accurate that he could actually see which part of the man's waving hand should he hit.

Then all of a sudden, a flying scimitar could be seen twirling through the air with a hand still firmly gripping the handle.

Arrggghh!!!

The man suddenly shouted as he watches with wide eye in horror as his weapon flew through the air along with a hand. Then his gaze turns towards his wrist and found that his right arm is now missing a hand.

But before he could react, Shin Jiao immediately sent the dagger towards the man's chest. Upon seeing this, the man didn't show fear but instead gritted his teeth and freed his left hand to grab a small dagger from his spatial tool.

But then before he could do anything he suddenly feels cold steel entering his chest. Then the man felt his body became powerless and his consciousness left him.

The Qi field surrounding the man was actually shattered by the dagger on Shin Jiao's hand with ease. Shin Jiao didn't know how it happened but right now is not the time for him to think. As after he killed the man, his danger sense actually picks up something from within a distance.. So without a second thought, he grabs the man's spatial tool and immediately ran out of the area.
