Chapter 8: 7. Leave None Alive

7. Leave None Alive

"Sand... sand... sand!"

The sound of footsteps grew clearer and clearer until it stopped under the courtyard wall and vanished, replaced by a rustling sound.

Chen An knew the intruders outside the courtyard were about to climb over the wall.

He immediately hid himself in the shadows.

Transforming into a cunning old fox.

Ready to use his Golden Finger to launch a sneak attack on the intruders at any moment.

After observing in secret for a while.

Six sneaky figures soon appeared on top of the courtyard wall.

Five men and one woman.

Among them were two familiar faces, a couple from the neighborhood he had greeted before.

They usually seemed quite kind.

Unexpectedly, one can know a person's face but not their heart; none of them were good people.

At this moment, the six intruders were standing cautiously on the wall, observing the room inside.

Seeing that it was pitch black inside, they assumed Chen An must be asleep, so they lightly jumped down from the wall and quietly snuck into the courtyard.

"Ah... ah... ah!"

Suddenly, several painful screams rang out, sounding exceptionally piercing in the silent dead of night.

All six of them had stepped into traps.

Either their bodies were scratched or the soles of their feet were pierced, and the intense pain caused them to let out involuntary cries.

"Quick, rush into the room and kill him!"

Knowing that they had been exposed, the leading male cultivator immediately made this decision, wanting to finish off Chen An quickly to avoid any complications.

Hearing this, the others also endured the pain, gripped their Wuji, and rushed toward the room ahead.

However, after rushing only a few steps, they suddenly felt their bones go weak, making it difficult to take another step, and they couldn't even stand steady.

"Oh no, we're poisoned!"

"Quick, take the Detoxification Pill!"

The leading male cultivator shouted to warn them.

Upon hearing this, the other five hurriedly pulled a small purple pill from their bosoms, opening their mouths to swallow it and detoxify.

Unfortunately, Chen An, who was hiding in the shadows and ready to strike, would not give them this chance at all.

Just as the leading male cultivator shouted, he immediately erupted with Spirit Power and rushed out.

With a finger glowing with Gold Light, he flashed past the intruders like lightning.

"Pfft... pfft... pfft!"

Only a series of sounds were heard, and a blood hole instantly appeared on the foreheads of the three male cultivators in the middle.

Before they could even react to what was happening, they felt a warm current surge from their foreheads, and the next moment their bodies fell limply backward, hitting the ground with a thud, completely losing their vitality.

"Pfft!"

Another dull sound rang out.

The male cultivator who had been rushing at the very back followed directly in the footsteps of his three companions, his body quickly falling to the ground, dead as a doornail.

It was only a blink of an eye.

Of the six cultivators who had snuck in during the dead of night, only two were left alive.

Only the leading male cultivator and the female cultivator who had been by his side remained.

"Hum!"

A sound of breaking air rang out.

Chen An did not pause for even a moment; after killing four people in a row, he immediately rushed in front of the leading male cultivator and thrust his golden-glowing index finger fiercely toward his forehead.

The male cultivator's reaction speed was fast, and he instinctively raised his hand to protect his forehead.

"Pfft!"

Only one sound was heard.

A blood hole was poked through the back of the male cultivator's hand, blood seeping out continuously, making him grimace in pain.

Enduring the intense pain, he used all the strength he had left, swung his other arm violently, and slashed toward Chen An's neck in the form of a hand blade.

At the same time, he shouted: "Die for me!!!"

Although the leading male cultivator had used all his strength, he was already suffering from the poison, his power less than one-tenth of its peak, causing this hand blade to look weak and slow.

Chen An casually sidestepped, easily dodging the hand blade, and then backhanded him with a Golden Finger, thrusting it fiercely into his forehead.

"Pfft!"

The familiar dull sound rang out again.

A blood hole appeared on the male cultivator's forehead, and then his body fell to the ground, dead as a doornail.

He just died with his eyes wide open.

Chen An glanced at the male cultivator's corpse, quickly ignored it, and turned to look at the female cultivator on the side.

Her face was above average, but her figure was extremely sexy and hot, a grade higher than his little wife, and her whole body was filled with the charming aura of a mature woman.

This was the Dao companion of the male cultivator who had just died.

Her cultivation was not high, only at the Qi Refining First Layer.

She still retained the excrement of a mortal.

Chen An often saw her come out of the room to dump urine, and sometimes when they met, they would exchange greetings, leaving him with a deep impression of her seductive and tempting figure.

"Please, don't kill me. I'm very capable, I can do anything. I can be your beast of burden, eat grass and give milk!"

Seeing Chen An staring at her body, the female cultivator knew she still had a chance to survive, so she immediately and sensibly lifted her skirt a little, revealing a pair of snow-white, plump, long legs, and begged for mercy with a humble expression.

She attempted to use her beauty to seduce Chen An, hoping to save her own life.

Chen An glanced at the female cultivator's legs and said calmly, "I don't kill women. You may go."

The female cultivator was stunned after hearing this, thinking she had misheard.

After a moment of realization, she blurted out, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for sparing my life," and immediately turned around to leave, trembling, fearing that Chen An might change his mind.

"Pfft!"

Before the female cultivator had taken two steps, she heard a dull sound from behind her.

Then, she only felt a surge of heat erupt from the back of her head; the next moment, her body collapsed powerlessly to the ground, and she became completely still.

The back of her head had been pierced through by a single finger from Chen An.

"Truly, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman."

Chen An reached out with his foot to move the female cultivator's right hand, and looking at the incredibly sharp silver hairpin hidden inside, he found it rather amusing.

Afterwards, he subconsciously sized up the female cultivator's curvaceous body, finding her figure truly alluring and feeling it was a pity she was dead.

But he knew well that lust is a blade hanging over one's head; the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

As long as they are enemies, they must be killed.

Being kind to an enemy is being cruel to oneself.

"My palms are sweating, my legs are a bit weak..."

As the adrenaline faded, Chen An looked at the corpses covering the ground before him and gradually began to feel some discomfort.

In the thirty-some years since he transmigrated, he had always been kind to others, never had conflicts with anyone, and had nothing to do with the word "killing."

Today was his first time killing someone.

And he had killed six in a row.

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen too many horrific scenes over these years, he probably would have vomited by now.

"Hoo—"

Chen An took a deep breath, forced himself to endure the psychological discomfort, stepped forward, and crouched down to loot the corpses to see what spoils he could find.

After searching and counting them up, the harvest was as follows:

7 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

5 First-tier Low-grade Pills.

6 ordinary iron Wuji.

"So poor."

Chen An shook his head in disappointment.

Immediately after, he dragged all the corpses on the ground to the corner of the courtyard to dig a pit and bury them.

He had originally wanted to drag them outside to find a deserted place to dump them.

But then he thought, what if there were still enemies outside the house?

To be safe, it was better not to go out.
