Chapter 116: Wealth Built Upon Sin

Haoweier horrifiedly discovered that the war hammer in his hand was being pushed back bit by bit; Mu Yi blocked the war hammer with his formation blade, without blood or a cry, and Mu Yi didn't even lose a single hair.

"You're surprised? You don't think you can kill me, do you?"

After Mu Yi gradually pushed the war hammer back, he said with a smile.

It was a powerful strike, but thinking it could kill him was rather fanciful.

His strength is indeed not high, but the strength bolstered by Inner Qi is already enough to match Haoweier.

Although it's only a temporary increase, this is already enough.

After all, he's just a minor boss in the Dungeon, lacking any specialties or skills, with nothing to show but pure physical fitness.

In short, attributes are only part of strength; specialties, techniques, and skills are also important components.

"Looks like you haven't eaten today!"

Mu Yi trash-talked, but his hand movements weren't slow at all; he even reversed his formation blade to press down on Haoweier.

"Want me to let you use one hand?"

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

What people find hardest to accept is having something they pride themselves on trampled by others.

After forcing Mu Yi back with his shield, Haoweier threw the shield away, gripped the war hammer with both hands, using the maximum swing to generate maximum force, casting aside the composure a heavy warrior should have, and swung the hammer at Mu Yi.

He wanted to crush Mu Yi's skull, even though that would prevent others from seeing this guy's terrified death, but he no longer cared about that.

At the moment Haoweier raised the war hammer with both hands and brought it down on Mu Yi, Mu Yi's figure vanished in place, and the ground cracked under the hammer's heavy blow.

A heavy, powerful strike is meaningless if it doesn't hit.

Conversely, because Haoweier's swing was so large, he inevitably exposed an opening at the moment his attack landed.

And Mu Yi seized that opening.

"General!"

Mu Yi's figure appeared beside Haoweier, both hands likewise raising the formation blade, and he came down heavily.

A head with eyes wide open in anger flew out amid the gushing blood.

Haoweier, dying with eyes unclosed!

"Be a good person in your next life!"

After throwing out that line, without pausing, Mu Yi headed deeper without looking back.

……

On the other side, inside the Red Wolf Headquarters.

"What's happening outside!"

An'er-Daisen, inside the room, demanded with a grim face; the urgent alarm made him very uneasy.

But no one could answer him; no one knew what had happened.

"Go check it out right now!"

After sending all his lackeys out, An'er-Daisen began packing his valuables to flee.

He felt just like when the kingdom first discovered his arms smuggling, with an unknown gloom hanging over his heart.

"It's those bounty hunters! The Wealth Church, we must go to the Wealth Church!"

The commotion caused by the evil god was huge; even he had heard of it, and out of concern he had added patrols, but he never expected that what was coming would still come.

An'er-Daisen knew very well that only being alive meant anything, but just as he was about to escape through the secret passage,

"Boom!"

The entrance seemed to be smashed by a raging beast of Frenzy, countless shattered fragments shooting at him like arrows.

An'er-Daisen instinctively raised his arms to block in front of himself.

"Drip!"

Blood dripped from his arm, the fragments left several wounds on his body, but at this moment he had no mind to care.

He stared fixedly at the broken gate, feeling that he had been targeted.

Mu Yi came in dragging a half-dead lackey, looking at An'er-Daisen fully marked in scarlet before him, and casually threw the little lackey aside.

"An'er-Daisen! A wanted criminal with a bounty from the Silver Moon Kingdom—I didn't expect your hideout to be so artistic!"

The Red Wolf Headquarters deep in the dark alley was splendid and magnificent inside, looking less like a rat's sewer and more like the home of a great noble.

"We can talk! I can give you double the Silver Moon Kingdom's bounty…… triple…… quintuple…… tenfold!"

"Bounty hunters are just after money, right!"

An'er-Daisen tried to persuade Mu Yi with words; perhaps he used to be a decent warrior, but now he has long forgotten what fighting is.

"Nonsense!" Mu Yi shook his head.

"What's the point of that measly bounty? I can give you more wealth!" An'er-Daisen asked, bewildered.

"I'll give you all of this! All of it!" Saying this, An'er-Daisen threw all his packed valuables at Mu Yi.

"Kill you, and these will be mine too!" Mu Yi swung his blade in a horizontal slash.

——Sharp Slash!

The Lion Demon catches a rabbit, yet uses full strength.

"Rip!"

Like the sound of paper being torn, the magical shield shimmering on An'er-Daisen's body was cut by Mu Yi's formation blade.

With no effective resistance, An'er-Daisen's head fell to the ground, and his headless corpse collapsed.

Mu Yi scratched his head, originally thinking that as a final boss this guy was the type to hide his strength, but it turned out he really was just a pig.

In that case, if that half-demon assassin were alive, he would truly be the one with the greatest advantage among them.

After all, sneaking past obstacles to come here and directly assassinate the target is certainly easier than his peerless stealth assassination.

Zongwang Prompt: You have killed the bounty target An Er-Dyson, detecting the character's kill contribution…

Detection complete, character kill contribution 100%, mission-related information has been updated…

You have killed a betrayer, you have alerted the other betrayers!

Current bounty betrayer kill count: 1, total bounty: 600 gold coins (60%)

Achievement: All betrayers must die current progress (1/5)

Eh?

Mu Yi froze for a moment; a card floated out of An Er-Dyson's corpse, actually granting a reward. The previous world was the real world, and he almost forgot that rewards could still drop.

Original Sin: Greed

Item level: Level 10

Category: Magical Material

Quality: Blue (Excellent)

Description: All humans are born sinful; pride, jealousy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are all sins. When desire reaches its peak, an Original Sin forms. Collecting the seven Original Sins can be fused into a higher‑grade material "Seven Deadly Sins".

PS: Mine! Mine! All of it is mine! — Greedy One·An Er-Dyson.

Sometimes a creature's consciousness can create wondrous phenomena; for example, when a cold consciousness pierces a decayed husk, undead beings spontaneously arise.

It wasn't Mu Yi's first time seeing this magical material, but the last one that could produce it was that Legend demon.

Human greed truly knows no bounds; a black‑clan leader who hasn't even reached Transcendent can still produce this.

It really opened his eyes.

After looking around, Mu Yi pulled out a fire‑element crystal core and, aimed at the golden‑splendid headquarters, cast a Fireball.

If this place steeped in sin is left untreated, new sins will only breed. Though burning it down with fire is merely a stopgap, it's better than leaving it untouched.

Many things may be useless when done, but doing nothing is certainly useless.

…

"Spare my life! Spare my life!" He looked at the kneeling, apologetic wanted criminal before him.

"I will reform my heart and ways, I will never err again, give me a chance, give me a chance…"

Mu Yi shook his head and sliced the opponent's head off with a single slash.

"Forgiving you is a god's business, and I am only responsible for sending you to meet them!"

Sin, unforgivable sin.

This is what Mu Yi saw in these bounty wanted criminals.

As Mu Yi suspected, the Wealth Church's information and data were all extremely heinous wanted criminals.

Perhaps that priest of the Wealth Church harbored ulterior motives, or perhaps these guys disrupted the operation of Wealth City.

Not a single person should be spared; each of them bears incalculable sin.

He reached out and collected the material that burst from the corpse.

Zongwang Prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained Original Sin: Lust

Current bounty betrayer kill count: 5, total bounty: 2700 gold coins (60%)

Achievement: All betrayers must die current progress (5/5)

You have earned the achievement: All betrayers must die!

You killed a betrayer, you caused panic among the other betrayers; in 12 hours you will face their first wave of pursuit!

A 12‑hour countdown appeared on Mu Yi's retina.

However, Mu Yi ignored the information, as usual igniting the sinful lair with fire, and walked the streets of Wealth City, exhausted in body and mind.

Just five bounty wanted criminals allowed Mu Yi to collect three different Original Sins, their transgressions virtually unrecordable.

Now, seeing the bustling Wealth City again, Mu Yi feels a chill all over; its splendor is built almost entirely on blood and sin.

Before entering the Wealth Temple again, looking at the golden‑radiant Wealth Goddess statue, Mu Yi fell into silence.

The last time he wanted to move this thing, but now he only wants to smash it.

It is the protection of the Wealth Church that lets these bounty wanted criminals thrive again in Wealth City, allowing them to continue committing unrecordable crimes.

Mu Yi knows this Dungeon is probably a time slice the Zongwang pulled from another world, yet he still cannot contain the fire in his chest.

He took a deep breath, and Mu Yi finally chose to hold his ground.

This is only a Dungeon; even if he destroyed the entire Wealth Temple, it would be meaningless, and he lacks the ability.

What he can do is end this Dungeon, move to the next Dungeon Trial, until, when he faces such a situation in the real world, he has the capital to flip the table.

Zongwang Prompt: Current Dungeon player count remaining: 5

Zongwang Prompt: Current Dungeon player count remaining: 4

The sudden prompt shocked Mu Yi; it seems someone can no longer hold back?

Then he must speed up as well.

…

The werewolf Jilian crouched under the Silver Moon; he loved this Dungeon as if he had returned to his hometown, with darkness and sin permeating everywhere.

In this environment he thrived, snakes have their paths, mice have theirs.

Mu Yi cooperated with the Wealth Temple, while he chose to ally with the betrayers; killing betrayers is not the sole victory condition, eliminating all Zongwang Players also grants victory.

And he had succeeded once; watching the clumsy dwarf spearman step into his trap, the moment the dwarf spearman threw the artifact, he sprang up and cleaved the opponent's head off.

The disbelief on the opponent's face was unforgettable; if Zongwang Player corpses didn't vanish, perhaps he would have turned the head into a drinking cup?

"Hm?" Jilian suddenly frowned, pulling the wolf fang hanging from his neck; at that moment the fang flickered with a gray glimmer.

It represented the color of death.

The system prompt rang immediately after.

Zongwang Prompt: Current Dungeon player count remaining: 3

"Luokaluosi that bitch actually died?" Jili An was somewhat incredulous.

Evil also gathers in packs; after the battle with the Dark God, he temporarily allied with the Zuo'er elves, but that alliance was strictly verbal, and if the chance presented itself, he would likewise not miss the opportunity to behead the Zuo'er elves.

While Mu Yi and the Holy Warrior were busy hunting down a wanted fugitive, they had already begun the hunt in the darkness.

The unlucky seventh intruder, wielding an auxiliary-form artifact, was killed by the Zuo'er elves, and the dwarf spearman was slain by the werewolf.

The remaining four were Mu Yi, the Holy Warrior, the werewolf, and the Zuo'er elves; now only he is left.

Members of the Order faction are always better at teaming up to expel evil.

Two versus one—this is not a good sign.

Just as Jili An was pondering how to break the stalemate, he sensed a slight oddity; the environment around him seemed to undergo a subtle change.

And in the next instant:

"Boom!"

A scorching fireball exploded beneath his feet, followed by endless flames that, like an unstoppable torrent, engulfed the werewolf.

"Found you!"

Relying on his keen sense for blood, Mu Yi successfully tracked the werewolf's trail and launched an attack on it.

"Awo~"

The werewolf, surrounded and scorched by burning embers, let out a howl.

Without hesitation, the werewolf sprang from the ground, brandishing its axe and slashing fiercely at Mu Yi.

He doesn't care who Mu Yi is; the moment Mu Yi directs an attack at him, Mu Yi becomes the enemy.

And the best attitude toward an enemy is to cut them dead.

"Clang!!"

The empty sense of weightlessness and the splattering sand told Jili An that the attack had been dodged; Jili An did not panic, twisted his body sharply and delivered a sweeping strike behind him.

The werewolf's pupils suddenly contracted; the axe missed any target, undeniably the opponent evaded his attack.

Yet at that moment, the werewolf suddenly realized that the surroundings had abruptly turned into a crimson world.

"Welcome to my realm of reincarnation!" Mu Yi said to the werewolf.

"Kill!"

When the Asura warriors rose one by one from the sea of blood, Mu Yi mercilessly issued the order.
