Chapter 822: He Chases! He Runs!
Snowfield.
Hundreds of corpses lay on the ground.
In the nearby camp, several kidnapped women huddled together, crying bitterly.
"That man will eat us."
"He killed all those bandits, we tied-up ones surely won't escape."
"That's right, I feel he's about to come and toy with us."
The women whispered fearfully.
Wu Xiaode stood in the snow, furrowing his brows.
Ladies, I killed the bandits who kidnapped you, how did I become worse?
Forget it.
This is all the power of the destiny system world.
Wu Xiaode waved his hand casually.
All the women's handcuffs and foot cuffs loosened.
"There is enough food here, plenty of horses too. Head south, and you will return to the town in half a day."
He said.
Looking back, among the bandit corpses were dozens of cultivators' bodies.
Clearly, they were from a minor sect.
Wu Xiaode couldn't be bothered to probe the thoughts of these cultivators.
——They thought, relying on numerical superiority, using attrition warfare could handle someone alone like me.
Indeed.
For anyone else, fighting with spiritual power can't last too long.
But the Evil Spirit Power in me comes from the ultimate abyss, endless.
When the fight ended, I only felt my hand was a bit sore.
Wu Xiaode shook his head, casually picked some ice from the snow, and used magic to make a mask.
He flashed into the sky and flew away.
After several breaths.
He put on the mask, changed his clothes, restrained all his power, and quietly snuck back, landing beside the camp.
——Even the vicious male supporting role, you can't even see my face clearly, how can you assume I'm malicious?
"Ladies..."
Wu Xiaode squeaked.
As soon as he started talking, the group of kidnapped and abused women screamed and fled in all directions.
——Their reaction was even more intense than before.
"The one wearing a mask is definitely up to no good."
"An evildoer who is not afraid of hundreds of corpses!"
"It must be a monster!"
All the women ran off.
Leaving Wu Xiaode alone in the camp.
He stood there, bewildered.
Is my mask too transparent?
He removed the mask, further blurred the mosaic on the mask's surface, added several layers of techniques to obscure divine thought probing, and put it back on.
Just now was really ridiculous.
——A few women, not even knowing who I am, just think I'm evil?
There's no logic in that.
Law of Destiny, are you overdoing it?
Wu Xiaode looked up at the sky.
A flock of white birds flew across the sky, excreting pure white bird droppings, which the wind blew towards Wu Xiaode.
He waved his hand, and knocked away all the bird droppings remotely.
Forget it.
This is a snowfield; running aimlessly can be fatal.
No matter how those women view me, the priority is to bring them back, provide food and horses, point the way, and ensure their safe escape.
Then I can slip away.
Wu Xiaode was about to take a step when suddenly an anomaly arose——
Numerous dark destiny threads emerged from the void, dashed past, racing deep into the snowfield.
——What's going on?
Wu Xiaode hesitated, flew into the air, and pursued swiftly.
After a short flight.
Several corpses appeared ahead.
Just those few women who ran away.
A hibernating giant bear, startled awake, was devouring their corpses.
Wu Xiaode kicked the giant bear to pieces and turned to look at those corpses.
——Is there anyone still alive?
Before he could examine closely, numerous streams of light flashed across the sky.
Cultivators!
They hovered in mid-air, glanced at him from afar, and then looked at the corpses on the ground.
"Evil cultivator, randomly killing innocents, everyone must hunt you down!"
The lead cultivator shouted.
All the cultivators charged at Wu Xiaode.
Meanwhile, the Evil Spirit Book suddenly appeared before him.
"The current destiny system world has set up a trap against you, lasting for three days."
"Your role: malevolent supporting character."
"Evil Spirit task generated:"
"Enemy of the World."
"Survive well, shatter the current world's desires, let all its endeavors fall short."
"Success will grant matching Evil Spirit Power."
All the small text gathered.
Wu Xiaode looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the sky full of cultivators.
——These are not my true enemies.
If I make a move, I'll be falling into the world's trap.
"Look clearly, they were killed by the bear."
Wu Xiaode said.
"Nonsense! You surrender first, and then we'll find out the truth!" The lead cultivator commanded.
"No need for that," Wu Xiaode said.
Not hopeful at all, he flashed away, flying directly towards the depths of the snowfield.
The cultivators immediately chased after him.
Among them, several highly cultivated, top-tier cultivators led the pursuit.
In terms of speed, they were definitely not slower than Wu Xiaode!
But whenever they were about to catch Wu Xiaode, Wu Xiaode would immediately swing forward with a punch.
Upon throwing the punch, he would flash and disappear.
In the next second.
He appeared at the end of their sight, with his fist just crashing into the snow.
——Little Wu's Fighting Skill!
During his time in Paradise, this move had already upgraded, allowing instant movement during fights.
He punched, kicked, flashed and dodged, quickly outpacing the cultivators' detection range.
The cultivators stopped in mid-air, exchanging puzzled glances.
"Shall we continue to chase?"
"Can't even find the person, how do we chase?"
Meanwhile,
Wu Xiaode kept instant moving.
After several consecutive instant moves, he suddenly stopped.
Surrounded by battling soldiers.
Two nations engaged in combat in this desolate, resource-less snowfield.
"Kill——"
"This is one of theirs!"
"Charge, kill him!"
The soldiers from both sides roared together, drawing their blades towards Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode suddenly vanished.
Instant movement!
Instant movement!
He stopped again.
Already far from the battlefield, at the entrance of a hidden lair.
A fierce spiritual pressure emanated from the lair.
Without hesitation——
Instant movement!
Instant movement!
The surroundings changed.
Countless demonic wolves galloped across the wasteland, charging at him upon discovery.
Wu Xiaode teleported once more.
—Could this desolate snowy plain actually be more bustling than a busy street?
I don't believe it!
After teleporting three more times, he stopped again.
Here was a tent.
A woman was changing clothes.
Wu Xiaode disappeared in a flash and arrived at the horizon, running far away.
This is just too ridiculous!
We streetwise folks can't always be pushed around like this!
Instead of being toyed with by fate, I might as well make a solid stand.
He suddenly turned around.
After several teleports, he returned to the place where those women had been killed.
Fate.
If it weren't for fate, how could these women have been killed?
Wu Xiaode's eyes turned cold, and he casually launched a Five Elements Skill toward the sky.
In no time.
Streams of light flew towards him.
It was those cultivators from before!
The leader shouted, "Monster, you dare to come back!"
"Come on then," Wu Xiaode said.
"Get him, kill him!" the cultivators shouted in unison.
Wu Xiaode chose another direction to run in.
The cultivators aggressively chased after him, almost catching up to him—
Whoosh!
He teleported again!
Everyone stopped.
On the vast, white snowy plains, there was no trace of Wu Xiaode at all.
The leading great cultivator said with bitterness:
"Hmph, letting this villain get away, next time don't—"
Whoosh!
Wu Xiaode appeared again!
"Weren't you going to take me on? Come on!" he taunted.
Everyone rushed forward again, pursuing him.
Wu Xiaode flew with all his might.
The distance between them grew closer and closer.
Whoosh—
Wu Xiaode disappeared once more.
This time, even under the Law of Destiny's control, the cultivators finally realized.
"He's playing with us."
"Exactly, he could've run long ago; he's just toying with us."
"Let's go back."
The cultivators turned around.
Whoosh!
Wu Xiaode appeared once again.
"Is the justice in your hearts so worthless? Just going to run away?"
He taunted again.
The cultivators were furious and continued the chase.
They pursued; he fled.
They stopped; he mocked.
After several hours, the cultivators were exhausted.
Yet Wu Xiaode was still energetic.
The Evil Spirit Power is limitless!
This is his true reliance!
The leading great cultivator, feeling uneasy, shouted loudly:
"There's something off about this person, everyone, let's go!"
This time they turned and ran!
Wu Xiaode pursued them leisurely; once close, he unleashed a round of invisible skills.
He even blocked their path several times.
He pursued; they fled!
They had no escape route!
At a certain moment, when Wu Xiaode again appeared in front of the cultivators, waving cheerfully and proposing another fight—
"Please forgive us, it's our fault, please spare us,"
The lead cultivator bowed and said.
"No, no, I am a notorious demon, unworthy of your forgiveness."
Wu Xiaode waved and said, "For the sake of all life, you must slay me today."
With that, he cast a Ghost Fire of Darkness.
The cultivators released Spiritual Power Shields to block, and then counterattacked with skills.
Whoosh—
Wu Xiaode disappeared again.
"Senior brother," a cultivator said with a pale face, "I'm running out of elixirs to replenish spiritual power."
"Elder, I have a few more, but taking too many in a short period, the spiritual power is hard to replenish," another cultivator said.
The group exchanged awkward looks.
Whoosh—
Wu Xiaode appeared again, releasing a skill.
The group had no choice but to confront him.
Three more hours passed.
Wu Xiaode tied up the cultivators and tossed them to the spot where the women were killed.
"Use the Detection Skill."
He spoke.
The lead cultivator reluctantly released a Detection Skill.
—The wounds were naturally caused by a giant bear.
"Was it me who killed them?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No," the cultivator said awkwardly.
"Louder, was it me who killed them?"
"NO!!!"
Wu Xiaode coldly glanced at the sky.
Damn it.
Keep playing.
"Sir, please forgive us, we were reckless," the opposing cultivator continued to apologize.
"You wasted so much of my time, and you want to settle it with pretty words?" Wu Xiaode casually brought out his Butterfly Soul Blade and asked.
"No, of course not, we are sincere."
"Sincere?"
A few minutes later.
Wu Xiaode had a row of storage bags hanging on his waist and teleported once again.
Whoosh—
He appeared on the battlefield again.
"Those are the enemy's men."
"Yes, they're their people, kill!"
"Kill him!"
Soldiers from both sides charged at him.
BOOM—
Wu Xiaode moved with spiritual power, directly blasting all the soldiers away.
Without saying a word, he casually released a series of control-type skills on the battlefield, immobilizing all the soldiers in place.
Finally—
The battlefield quieted down.
The commanders from both sides, along with several cultivators, flew over together.
"This guy's a lunatic, fighting randomly; I think we should team up to slay this beast!"
"No problem! Let's do it!"
They attacked together.
They chased!
He fled!
Two hours later.
He chased.
They fled!
Gained another round of spirit stone treasures!
