Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 279: Chapter 278: The Walking Gift Pack

Poison Rose was very beautiful.

In Lin Hao’s eyes, such a beauty should not be a mercenary; rather, she belonged to the daughters of the wealthy and powerful, or to the women of the affluent and influential.

Yet as the name suggests, she was a rose with blood.

Beautiful, but thorny.

An unrivaled beauty who could survive the most brutal battlefields was certainly no mere vase.

As Lin Hao was approaching, Poison Rose had already bathed in the sea water, and as if by magic, she pulled out a set of tight-fitting clothes and changed into them.

Her speed was rapid; by the time Lin Hao stopped, Poison Rose had already dressed and turned around.

Under the hazy moonlight, her proud peaks were enveloped by her tight-fitting clothes, further highlighting her graceful figure.

Compared to her previous disguise, she was a completely different person, one could scarcely believe that such a gorgeous, Western beauty with devilish curves could have transformed into a sleazy, corpulent man.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful."

At this scene, Lin Hao couldn’t help but be reminded of the past world. His gaze lingered on those two peaks, seemingly recalling the days when the sky was ablaze with the artillery, and he praised her aloud.

"Really? Have you had a good look? Or shall we find a different place where you can get a clearer view?"

At this moment, Poison Rose did indeed look like a beautiful rose, exuding an irresistible urge to be plucked.

This kind of beauty had a wild flavor, a charm that most women lacked.

Especially that voice brimming with seduction, few men would be able to resist under such circumstances.

However, Lin Hao shook his head, simply extending his hand to wrap around Poison Rose’s waist.

There were still many things to be done.

"You should know why I have come here. If you want to show me the scenery, I think we’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, under the flowers and moon, to savor it slowly."

"You’re heading to Resurrection Island."

Poison Rose had not become a top mercenary out of mere luck; she surely didn’t believe Lin Hao came here to burn the East Atlantic Company’s assets on Transshipment Island to ashes.

Resurrection Island,

For the mercenaries and rangers who came to Transshipment Island, who was not aiming for Resurrection Island?

However, Resurrection Island was an enigmatic existence.

For thousands of years, with such advanced human technology, the fact that the island remained undiscovered indicated how difficult it was to gain access to Resurrection Island.

Poison Rose was being hunted by the Never-setting Sect precisely because she sought a way to Resurrection Island from the East Atlantic Company.

Clearly, Poison Rose had failed.

The defenses of the East Atlantic Company were unimaginably tight, and after multiple failures, the Mercenary Corps Poison Rose belonged to all went into hiding, even becoming desperate, ready to retreat and abandon the plan.

However, everything changed when she met Lin Hao. Poison Rose seemed to see hope again.

This young man, with his tender age yet monstrous cultivation,

Especially that Samadhi True Fire of his, simply invincible in the world.

Perhaps, with Lin Hao there, there was still hope for reaching Resurrection Island!

But...

With the thought of the manifold dangers on the way to Resurrection Island, Poison Rose was still somewhat unsure, and tentatively asked:

"It’s not so easy to get onto Resurrection Island. It’s said that there’s only one path, and now that path is guarded by the East Atlantic Company, even the sea routes are controlled. It will be difficult for you to enter."

"Difficult?"

Lin Hao chuckled with a hint of a smile, unconsciously tightening his grip on that serpentine waist: "In front of me, Lin Hao, there is no such word as ’difficult’. Let’s go, where to next?"

"We can circle the island; maybe before those experts who received the news reach Transshipment Island, we can achieve your goal. But afterward, can you satisfy a small request of mine?" Poison Rose looked at Lin Hao with watery eyes full of anticipation.

"Speak."

Regardless, in his previous life, Poison Rose was Lin Hao’s woman; Lin Hao wouldn’t refuse a request from his own woman.

"Can you take our Mercenary Corps to Resurrection Island?"

"Just that?"

"Mhm."

"A piece of cake. Let’s go. After we finish matters here, we’ll head to Resurrection Island."

Night falls but tonight, undoubtedly, is a sleepless night for Transshipment Island.

Blue flames like ghastly will-o’-the-wisps keep igniting throughout Transshipment Island.

Samadhi True Fire consumes a lot, but now, Lin Hao can be considered the wealthiest person on this planet.

With several hundred tons of Primordial Stones in his Storage Ring, he has enough to set the entire Transshipment Island ablaze.

"The Arson Demon is here!"

"It’s the Arson Demon! Run for your lives!"

Wherever Lin Hao goes, he barely faces any real resistance - everyone is too scared, screaming and fleeing in terror.

Once Lin Hao arrives at a location, he sets the buildings ablaze and immediately turns to leave.

He couldn’t care less about those scattering in fear, even if they are from the East Atlantic Company, so long as they don’t resist.

Unmatched in power,

Unstoppable!

After the battle at Freedom City and the Western Dock, Lin Hao’s formidable reputation had already spread across Transshipment Island to the point that no one dared resist him, even knowing his value.

Finally, the people from the East Atlantic Company stopped fleeing. Realizing that they wouldn’t be killed if they didn’t resist, they began to grow bolder.

They even prepared fire engines near the properties of the East Atlantic Company, ready to fight the fires as soon as Lin Hao set them.

But how could Samadhi True Fire be extinguished by ordinary means?

Not only did they fail to put out the fire, but the sparks from the Samadhi True Fire also destroyed many of their fire engines.

The great fire blazed on Transshipment Island for three days, reducing almost all of the East Atlantic Company’s assets to ashes.

Only one building was left, a fortress situated beneath a volcano to the north.

The headquarters of the East Atlantic Company on Transshipment Island!

Now, in this seemingly impregnable fortress, strengthened by the East Atlantic Company, a significant number of people were gathered.

Apart from the company’s own experts, the woods within a radius of a thousand meters were teeming with masters from around the world who had rushed here, aiming for Lin Hao’s head.

Since John Robert agreed to issue the hero’s summoning warrant, several hundred tons of Primordial Stones tempted nearly all the cultivators on Earth.

In three days, these formidable beings had enough time to converge from all around the world.

Among them were not a few Refining God, Anti-void, and even Sky-breaking Realm powerhouses.

At this moment, these individuals were all hidden in the woods near the headquarters of the East Atlantic Company, concealing their presence; from a distance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

At the foot of the volcano, at the mouth of a hidden cave.

Seemingly a cave, but in reality a window of the fortress.

Two figures sat by the window, leisurely sipping red wine while looking out at the jungle.

One was Carter, the general manager of the East Atlantic Company on Transshipment Island; the other was Ascetic Monk Doug, an Anti-void Realm powerhouse who had just rushed back from Resurrection Island.

"Heh, with this setup, even if Lin Hao burns down all of our other assets on the island, so what? Does he dare to come here?"

"The thing I fear is that he won’t come. Eight Sky-breaking Realm masters, twenty-three Anti-void powerhouses, and six hundred Refining God Realm experts, heh, the mightiest cultivators on Earth are all here. They’re all waiting for Lin Hao; if he comes, I guarantee that not a piece of him will be left!"

"Exactly, no one can resist the temptation of several hundred tons of Primordial Stones. And just now, the headquarters announced a new price—we will appoint anyone who kills Lin Hao as our company’s Minister Elder."

Ascetic Monk Doug stood up, gazing out the window, his eyes growing deeper as he lifted a corner of his mouth in a disdainful smirk: "Right now, Lin Hao is like a walking treasure trove, everyone wants his life. If he’s smart, he’ll stay hidden. If not, well, heh..."
