After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 86: Crushed to Death

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Crushed to Death

Gu An stood behind a tree, listening to the voices of these people.

It wasn’t unexpected.

But their information seemed somewhat inaccurate.

There wasn’t just one Demon King inside.

The strength of the two wasn’t too different.

Neither was something ordinary Ninth Level of Qi Refining could compare to.

According to Chu Meng’s words, they were both at the Great Perfection of Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

After a brief reflection, Gu An continued listening to their conversation.

"What are the chances he survives if he encounters the Demon Beasts?" Feng Mei asked.

"There’s no chance of survival," Tongtong said seriously. "Not just for the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, even for the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, it’s the same."

Feng Mei shook his head with a bitter smile: "If we had known this would happen, why did we ever begin?"

Zhong Bing sneered, "At Qi Refining Eighth Layer, even our Senior Brother Luo looks down on him, yet he hopes to complete the mission.

We, with our hands in our pockets, can decide his life and death with just a few words.

And yet, at his age, he never understood.

Dying by the mouths of Demon Beasts is his destiny."

"I don’t know when he will make his move; perhaps he thinks nighttime is a good opportunity.

Then, he will definitely die. I wonder what his thoughts will be when he’s being eaten,

perhaps until death he won’t realize that night is when Demon Beasts are most vigilant," Miao Yong said with a laugh:

"Senior Brother Luo didn’t tell him anything; he should have known he ought to return, not continue the mission.

People lacking insight deserve to die here."

Gu An stood behind the tree, listening to everything.

He considered carefully; he shouldn’t have such a big hatred with these people.

And their dissatisfaction with him was probably just because he took the same mission.

If it was someone they recognized on the same mission, they would be happy.

Unfortunately, the root cause is that he was not recognized.

Because of that, he was to lose his life.

Gu An understood.

He hoped they would understand him too.

Then Gu An heard them discuss that the break of dawn was the best time.

And they knew of four nests, planning to act separately.

To capture the younglings.

After succeeding, to meet back here.

Listening, Gu An’s heart remained devoid of any emotion.

He felt much calmer than he expected.

Perhaps it was because of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

He was increasingly able to control his emotions, calmly handling things.

Later, three of the four people began to rest, while one kept watch.

Rotating in turns.

Just after the fourth watch, they all woke up.

They looked at each other and started heading towards the four directions.

To wait for opportunities at the nests.

Gu An watched them leave; he didn’t try to stop or ambush them.

Just calmly leaning against the tree, he ate something simple.

And soon began meditating to enhance his status.

In recent days, because of logging, he wasn’t at his best.

Now here was a chance to restore somewhat.

As for the mission.

No hurry.

There would be a way.

Approaching dawn, Gu An heard the roar of Demon Beasts.

Resting, he opened his eyes.

"It seems they’ve made their move."

The sound persisted for a good while.

As the day began to brighten,

Thus, Gu An heard footsteps.

It was Feng Mei returning.

She had some injuries on her, and brought back a Demon Beast cub with a silver collar around its neck, restricting its movements.

Seeing that the others hadn’t returned yet, she sat down cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing.

Gu An just watched, and did nothing.

Counting the number.

One.

Some moments later.

Miao Yong and Tongtong also returned, bearing more injuries.

But both had brought back a Demon Beast cub.

Likewise locked with silver collars.

Gu An watched and continued counting.

Three.

"Only three, somewhat disappointing."

Gu An muttered to himself.

Yet he still quietly waited.

All three were meditating to regulate their breathing.

The sky was already bright.

At this moment, a hearty laughter came from afar.

A man was seen approaching quickly, holding two Demon Beast cubs in his hand.

"Senior Brother Zhong is back," Miao Yong stood up and said with a smile.

Especially seeing him holding two Demon Beast cubs, he added admiringly:

"Didn’t expect there to be two, truly impressive."

Soon, Zhong Bing landed in front of everyone:

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting."

His voice was spirited as he spoke.

Two Demon Beast cubs in one night, unlike the others.

Naturally, this was a cause for joy.

"Two Demon Beast cubs today, three tomorrow, wouldn’t that mean we’re done in two days?" Tongtong also said enviously.

Feng Mei was also quite emotional:

"Indeed, he is much stronger than us."

After Zhong Bing modestly understated a few sentences, he said: "Let’s rest a bit, then we’ll head back."

"By the way, should we check on Gu An?" Miao Yong said with a smile:

"His Storage Treasure should have dropped, maybe we can scavenge a bit."

"Rather than hope for that, bet on extra Cultivation Techniques seeing if they could let us all share when we sell them; Senior Brother Zhong gets thirty percent, each of us twenty percent," Tongtong said.

The others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this was something to be happy about.

A Foundation Establishment Technique is worth quite a few Spirit Stones.

"The death of Gu An will make our paths much easier ahead, he really died deservedly," Zhong Bing said with a smile.

"What if I’m not dead?" Suddenly, a voice came.

Those who were joking around all froze.

They immediately turned towards the source of the voice.

Indeed, they saw a middle-aged man standing by the tree watching them.

This was somewhat unexpected to them.

But just unexpected.

Without the slightest worry.

"Not dead?" Miao Yong scoffed:

"Then why come out? To seek death?"

Gu An looked at the four men and said:

"I lost some things, so I came looking for them."

"Oh?" Zhong Bing said with a smile, "Junior Brother Gu, it’s natural to lose things at your age.

We should help look for them, just don’t know how many Spirit Stones Junior Brother Gu will offer for our help?"

Gu An pointed at the Demon Beast cubs in his hands:

"Those things, I wonder if you could return them?"

At these words, everyone was taken aback.

They immediately understood his purpose.

Zhong Bing sneered:

"Old man, do you know what you’re talking about?"

Gu An did not answer him, instead, he took a step forward.

The fierce wind howled.

With a hurricane swirling, Gu An’s figure swiftly closed the distance to Zhong Bing, followed by a slap.

Slap!

A crisp sound emerged.

Zhong Bing was stunned by this slap, the burning pain fueling his anger.

"Old man, you’re courting death!"

With a curse, Zhong Bing gathered strength in his hand and struck out with a palm.

His rage was boiling, releasing all his power.

However, before the palm strike could land, Gu An caught his wrist.

Then twisted it.

Crack!

Then another twist.

Squish!

The entire arm was distorted and then with a bang, forcefully torn off.

Blood stained the surroundings.

Screams followed.

"Ah~"

Gu An ignored the other’s agony, delivering a kick.

Crack!

Zhong Bing’s waist broke, and he was thrown flying.

Bang!

He smashed into a tree.

Blood spurted from his mouth.

Thus, Gu An walked over, picked up his head, and said indifferently, "By age, I am a bit older than you, I should be called Senior Brother."

At this moment, Zhong Bing looked at the man before him in horror.

Gu An sighed and said, "Never mind, I understand you can’t call out, I won’t trouble you."

Then, Gang Qi converged in his hand, and he squeezed firmly.

Bang!

Before everyone’s eyes, he crushed Zhong Bing’s head.

He was not one to torture people to death.
