Chapter 67: Chapter 63 Time is Running Out~ (Please Subscribe First)

The surrounding woods were sparse; a few tattered, withered leaves clung to the branches, rustling in the wind with a low, desolate sound.

It was like an ancient elegy echoing in the emptiness, heavy with desolation and stillness.

In such an environment, it seemed as if time itself had come to a halt, with only the sound of the wind narrating the vicissitudes and changes of the years.

Chen Yun followed the scent and footprints, slowly walking through the dense forest.

A large area of soft, rotting leaves on the forest floor dented with each calm, heavy step, feeling as if he were stepping into mud.

The rotting leaves shattered under pressure, emitting a series of faint sounds.

Feeling the humidity in the air gradually increasing, Chen Yun couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

It looked like it was going to rain; the sky was a gloomy leaden gray, darkening the entire forest considerably.

It was only just after nine in the morning.

Yet, the clouds were exceptionally thick, as if bearing an endless oppression and contemplation.

The contour of distant mountains was blurred and indistinct, giving a sense of vastness, remoteness, and loneliness.

This was a good place for murder, and it was also weather suitable for killing.

Chen Yun’s face was calm as he walked.

His emotions didn’t fluctuate at all about the few ants he was about to crush.

When he discovered that this group of people intended to burn him to death, Chen Yun had already decided not to call the police and send them to prison.

There was a place more suitable for them than prison.

Before long.

Chen Yun stopped.

In front of him, in the forest, the buzz-cut man met Chen Yun’s eyes as he was relieving himself.

Just like their first encounter, they stared at each other.

If the black bear could talk and was here, it would definitely say: This scene feels familiar!

The air fell silent for a moment; even the melancholy wind seemed to quiet down at this time.

The sound of trickling water abruptly stopped.

The next instant.

The buzz-cut man’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his urinating organ snapped shut from fright, with no time even to zip up.

First disbelieving, his expression visibly shifted to one of terror. His pupils dilated rapidly, his eyes filled with shock and panic.

The loud thumping of his heart was especially clear in Chen Yun’s ears.

Chen Yun slowly approached the buzz-cut man, observing his exaggerated reactions, he didn’t even need to use Emotion Perception to understand the man’s current feelings.

The buzz-cut man’s lips trembled, slightly parted from excessive nervousness, letting out a silent gasp.

As though he wanted to say something.

But seeing Chen Yun steadily approaching, he was too nervous and scared to say anything.

Until the expressionless Chen Yun came up to him, the man finally managed to open his mouth:

"You’re not dead..."

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Chen Yun had already reached him and made a motion as if flicking his forehead.

This puzzled the buzz-cut man for a moment, just as he was about to say something, his vision went dark.

Chen Yun didn’t give him the chance to continue.

A crisp snap resounded in the air.

The extreme speed and force of the blow meant the buzz-cut man’s body still maintained the inertia of standing in place, while his head snapped back from the immense force.

In an instant, his neck fractured with a crushing snap.

However, his skull didn’t fly off, nor did it explode where he stood.

A layer of skin and flesh still connected his head to his body at the neck, causing the man’s head to slump downwards, following gravity.

Then, the neck-snapped buzz-cut man swayed in place for a moment before his lifeless body fell to the ground.

Chen Yun continued forward without paying any attention to the sound of the body hitting the ground.

He didn’t care why these people wanted to kill him.

He also didn’t want to hear their explanations or excuses.

Simply making them die was enough.

The main goal was to be quick and decisive, without wasting words, and not wanting to hear even a single word from the buzz-cut man.

He also didn’t spare the man he had swiftly killed another glance as he continued onward, slowly and resolutely.

This first murder had no psychological impact on him.

To be precise, Chen Yun felt completely untroubled.

The feeling of casually killing the crew-cut man seemed no different from when he used "Killing Intent" to exterminate insects. It was hard to tell which made him feel more uncomfortable, after all, neither event caused any discomfort in his heart.

Chen Yun couldn’t say it had any psychological impact on him.

When he casually killed the crew-cut man, he didn’t even pause for a moment. It was as if he had merely brushed past a wisp of air, unworthy of any regard.

He just calmly continued forward, following the scent.

Until he crossed another small stretch of jungle.

A smooth boulder appeared, upon which was a sizable Saltpeter Mine entrance.

This mountain range contained many Saltpeter Mines and numerous ancient mine shafts left by the ancients.

Clearly, this was the new residence the Spiritual Cultivation Association found after the great fire.

Or maybe not exactly new.

Judging by the richness of the human scent and traces left everywhere, this place had probably long been a backup location for the people of the Spiritual Cultivation Association.

Thinking this over,

Chen Yun did not stop his pace, decisively heading toward the largest of the mine entrances.

As he approached, not yet entering,

He could hear a chorus of prayers rising up.

While listening to the series of mumbled prayers from inside, Chen Yun reached the entrance of the mine.

There, apart from the two followers burned to death and the crew-cut man whom Chen Yun had just killed with a flick to the head,

The remaining twelve were all here.

The dim candlelight flickered incessantly.

Casting long and twisted shadows of The bearded elder and the nearby "older sister."

Combined with the whistling wind outside, the dim sky, and the oppressive atmosphere before the rain,

Everything here looked especially demonic.

Ten fanatics looked seriously toward The bearded elder, listening to him spout so-called teachings about the ascension of the soul and posthumous blessings.

Only the "older sister" nearby noticed Chen Yun suddenly appearing at the mouth of the cave.

Her complexion instantly became extremely vivid.

Her otherwise outstanding acting skills suddenly couldn’t hold up.

Strong shock and disbelief were evident on her face.

The others also took notice because of the "older sister’s" gaze, and they turned to look at Chen Yun at the cave entrance.

Amusingly,

Compared to the fear and disbelief on the faces of The bearded elder and the "older sister," the ten disciples were all composed and undisturbed.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun calmly walked up to the fattest one nearest to him, grabbed his neck, and lifted the hefty man straight into the air.

Based on the footprints at the entrance of the wooden shack’s ruins, he could confirm it was this fat man who had placed the firewood.

Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or was coerced, there was no need to care anymore.

Chen Yun simply lifted him straight away.

Feeling the fat man’s utter fearlessness, only devoutness and fanaticism in his emotions,

He shook his head helplessly, feeling pity, amusement, and sadness.

Yet his hand showed no mercy.

With force, he snapped the man’s neck.

Casually tossing the body to the ground.

The corpse hit the floor with a bang.

The ten fanatics remained unperturbed, while the two high-ranking cult leaders were startled.

Seeing this, Chen Yun felt somewhat amused.

Looking at the two high-ranking cult leaders and the remaining brainless fanatics in front of him,

He calmly took out his phone to check the time, then said, "I’ll give you half a minute for last words."

In response,

The ten fanatics just stared blankly at him, showing no reaction.

The bearded elder and "older sister" exchanged silent glances, also ignoring Chen Yun’s words.

Seeing this, Chen Yun was not in a rush.

He just silently counted down the passing seconds.

Having promised half a minute, he gave half a minute.

Until after more than ten seconds, seeing that there wasn’t much time left, he slowly said, "Time’s almost up..."

Saying so, he revealed a kind smile.
