Chapter 299: Capturing the Quarry

Chapter 299: Capturing the Quarry

After Wang Hong had slain more than a dozen Qi Cultivation cultivators, he approached the leader of the Qiu family with deliberate steps.

"Hehe! Turns out, you're a big fish! No matter your purpose for coming here, since you're here, don't even think about escaping."

The leader of the Qiu family quickly activated a Transmission Talisman and summoned a Flying Sword to strike at Wang Hong. At this moment, Wang Hong only displayed a cultivation level of Foundation Building in the early stages, and he didn't appear afraid.

As the Flying Sword summoned by the Qiu family's leader was about to strike Wang Hong, he suddenly saw a blur before his eyes. Then, he felt an intense pain in his legs, and he collapsed to the ground. It was only then that he realized his legs had been severed just above the knees.

Wang Hong placed his foot on the leader's chest, holding a spear with the tip pointed at his face. The Flying Sword that the Qiu family's leader had summoned struggled in Wang Hong's hand.

"I'll give you three breaths' time, confess everything honestly!" Wang Hong coldly demanded, without specifying what he wanted to hear.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I was forced into this!" The leader of the Qiu family stared at the spear inches from his face and hastily cried out, fearing that the spear might descend any further and end his life.

"We all signed Blood Contracts. I only joined two years ago, and I don't know much more!" His voice trembled as he spoke. If he hadn't been afraid of death, he would have died long ago, and he wouldn't have made it this far.

"Who dares to act recklessly here?" At this moment, a strange creature emerged from another passage.

This creature stood a yard tall, had two horns on its head, stood on two legs, and carried a massive wolf-toothed club.

This creature belonged to a special race within the Demon Clan, possessing human-like features and a certain degree of intelligence. Some of these races were descended from powerful demons, while others were the result of human-demon hybrids.

In the Demon Clan, most Demonic Beasts didn't care about bloodlines and would mate indiscriminately, resulting in numerous hybrid species.

In the West Zhou Demon Realm, humans coexisted with these creatures, but their status was relatively low, leading to instances of human-demon hybridization.

Within the West Zhou Demon Realm, many individuals with human bloodlines didn't consider themselves human due to the lower status of West Zhou humans. If anyone claimed they had human blood, they would take it as an insult, fueling their animosity towards humans.

In contrast, the East Zhou Cultivation Realm rarely witnessed human-demon hybrids, as humans were less savage compared to Demonic Beasts, making it difficult to engage in such unions.

This creature likely fell into the category of human-demon hybrids, and upon arriving in the East Zhou Cultivation Realm, it continued to harbor a deep hatred for humans, leading it to engage in acts of cannibalism.

Seeing that the main player had arrived, Wang Hong casually fired a shot, creating a hole in the Qiu family leader's head.

People who had already signed Blood Contracts couldn't reveal specific information. If they did, the Blood Contract would backfire, causing varying degrees of harm to their souls.

"You lowly human! I'll turn you into minced meat!" The human-demon hybrid seethed with anger. This despicable human had dared to kill its subordinates in front of it.

It swung the massive wolf-toothed club in its hand, aiming to strike Wang Hong.

At this moment, all the cultivators hiding in the mountain cave had gathered around, surrounding the two combatants.

They were too afraid to join the battle, as this Demonic Beast was exceptionally brutal and would readily kill humans without hesitation. If they joined now, it would be seen as a lack of trust in its abilities, and after the battle, they would face execution.

However, just watching wasn't an option either. If this Demonic Beast suffered losses, it might take out its frustration on them.

So, a group of people surrounded Wang Hong, loudly cursing him. If curses could inflict harm, Wang Hong would have been reduced to ashes by now.

This Demonic Beast was a second-tier high-grade creature, relying on its formidable demonic body.

To prevent Wang Hong from using a long-range Spiritual Weapon attack, the Demonic Beast roared and charged towards him.

"Die!"

The Demonic Beast raised its massive wolf-toothed club triumphantly and swung it down at Wang Hong's head. It slightly leaned back to avoid getting splattered with brain matter.

Wang Hong wielded his Long Spear, colliding with the club mid-air. The tremendous impact sent dirt flying in all directions.

The Demonic Beast felt a tremendous force in its arms and was pushed back more than a yard. Its legs plowed deep furrows into the ground.

It never expected that it would lose to a human solely based on physical strength.

It thought it must be an illusion or that the human used some strange method. It refused to accept it and was about to swing its club again.

At this moment, Wang Hong was already in front of it, moving much faster.

Wang Hong smashed his Long Spear down, and the Demonic Beast raised its club to meet it. This time, it didn't slide back but sank a foot deep into the ground.

The massive impact made it feel dizzy, and its vision darkened. It tried to step back, but Wang Hong struck again.

Helpless, it raised its club once more to defend but was pushed back another foot.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Wang Hong kept striking for more than a dozen times, driving the massive body of the Demonic Beast into the earth.

Only its head and two arms, one of which still held the club, remained above ground.

Wang Hong approached and took the club from its hand. The quality of this Spiritual Weapon was quite good; even after being subjected to such intense blows, it showed no signs of deformation.

The Demonic Beast, now weaponless and immobilized, continued to curse loudly.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who had been shouting insults earlier had fallen silent. Some of them were already preparing to slip away quietly.

"No one is allowed to leave!" Wang Hong shouted loudly. He released Little Peng, ordering it to keep an eye on this group of Qi Cultivation cultivators and kill anyone who attempted to escape.

Little Peng flew around the Qi Cultivation cultivators, herding them together.

While the Demonic Beast continued its profanity, Wang Hong seized the opportunity to place a poison pill into its mouth, rendering it temporarily immobilized. Then, he grabbed its two horns and pulled it out of the ground.

Afterward, he sent a Transmission Talisman to Luo Yuxuan and the others in the Marketplace, asking them to come and handle the aftermath.

He then placed the Demonic Beast into a Spirit Beast bag and headed towards the passage from which the Demonic Beast had come.

Walking down the passage for a short distance, he arrived at another hall, slightly smaller than the previous one, with several stone chambers connected to it.

The hall didn't contain anything of significant value, so he headed towards one of the stone chambers.

Inside the stone chamber, it was empty, with many areas showing signs of being smashed and damaged. This was likely a cultivation room.

He then entered another stone chamber, where various items were scattered all around. Most of them were first-tier spiritual herbs, spiritual ores, and other items. There were only a few second-tier spiritual herbs and spiritual ores, along with several thousand pieces of low-grade Spirit Stones.

In one corner, there was a pile of items like Magical Weapons, clearly belonging to human cultivators.
