Chapter 196: Hunting The Transcendent

Dark clouds descended, casting a gloomy shadow over the forested mountains. The rain pattered loudly on the leaves, creating a misty spray that resembled thin smoke.

Wang Xuan, now clothed, no longer appeared bare. His attire resembled that of the people from Eura Star, a sight more pleasing to his eyes. He also packed the battle gear from Yuhua and Heluo Stars, saving them for critical moments.

His most significant gain was the collection of jade tokens, likely surpassing Old Zhong's count.

Wang Xuan wore a perforated protective headgear and donned a black and gold tunic, blending into the dim rain curtain. The dark, rainy atmosphere was perfect for hunting.

Along the way, he sensed two extraordinaries hiding in a stone forest. His heightened perception allowed him to silently approach them from behind.

"You..." One of them turned abruptly, hair standing on end in shock, retreating in terror upon seeing the silent young man in the rain.

The other attempted to flee but was swiftly beheaded by a brilliant sword light that pierced through the dark forest.

Wang Xuan's mystical power wove a tapestry of dazzling light as the short sword returned to his hand, his unique version of a flying sword. Despite lacking complex inscriptions typical of flying swords, it was equally unstoppable in his hands.

"Don't be afraid," Wang Xuan whispered reassuringly.

The sight of a decapitated head rolling to his feet, blood splashing onto his face, hardly seemed reassuring.

"How many extraordinaries from the three celestial planets have arrived, and how many Enforcers are on your side?" Wang Xuan patiently inquired.

The surviving extraordinary shuddered, his body covered in goosebumps, fearfully looking at the young face amidst the rain. Eventually, he divulged everything.

Suddenly, a burst of light, as dazzling as a peacock's tail, erupted in the rain, aiming directly at Wang Xuan. It was a dense volley of steel needles.

Although the steel needles were thin, they were inscribed with runes and forged from a blend of secret bronze and steel mother, designed to pierce the formidable bodies of extraordinaries.

The seemingly docile and cooperative extraordinary, who had been answering questions fearfully, suddenly attacked, attempting a desperate counter-kill against Wang Xuan.

However, his efforts were in vain and only heightened his fear. Mysterious, blurry sceneries emerged around Wang Xuan, deflecting all the steel needles. The needles, once formidable weapons, turned into iron filings and gently fell to the ground.

Wang Xuan tested one needle against his palm. It bent and broke, unable to penetrate his flesh, far superior to any golden body.

With a backhand slap, Wang Xuan sent the pale-faced extraordinary flying. He disintegrated mid-air, six meters away, his blood mingling with the rain as it fell to the ground.

Wang Xuan headed towards a mountain range ten miles away. He had learned from the man he just defeated that the range was home to an owl over 150 years old, a formidable Enforcer.

As he traversed the forest, his steps were powerful and steady, covering tens of meters with each stride.

He climbed a stone peak only to find that he had mistaken the location; the owl's nest was on an opposing cliff. Assessing the distance between the two peaks, Wang Xuan retreated, then accelerated into a run, leaping across the hundred-meter gap through the rain and mist, landing on the opposite mountain.

In a large cave on the cliff, a pair of lantern-sized, green eyes suddenly lit up. The old owl, highly alert, sensed something amiss.

But it was too late. Wang Xuan, grasping a vine, slid down in the pouring rain and stepped into the spacious, dry cave.

"Young man, what brings you to my abode? Is there an injustice you wish to report? I am an Enforcer; speak, and I shall stand for you."

The owl's feathers nearly stood on end. Having lived for many years, it had attained a certain level of wisdom and sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the young man.

"I used to raid sparrow nests when I was younger and even returned fallen swallows to their nests under the eaves. But I've never raided an owl's nest this big," Wang Xuan spoke.

"Young man, what are you talking about? I am an Enforcer, upholding the fairness and justice of the secret realm. How can you be so disrespectful to me?" the owl spoke coldly.

"You're too caught up in your role. Don't you know what you really are? Carrying those extraordinaries to hunt me down, helping them find my traces, and now you dare talk about maintaining order in the secret realm?"

They began seeking reinforcements, calling for more help to hunt down the extraterrestrial demon.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark forest. The extraordinaries of Heluo Star moved swiftly, eager to reach the scene first and claim the alien's short sword and any possible inheritance.

Beiyun Kun's face was cold, his eyes shimmering with a green light. Indifferent to the sword, he simply yearned to witness the demise of the 'earthling.'

Earlier, Beiyun Kun had been severely injured by Wang Xuan, coughing up blood with multiple broken bones. His "Immortal Body" practice had nearly been ruined, leaving him weakened for days, coughing up blood intermittently.

Wang Xuan moved through the forest, sensing the strong vitality and tumultuous supernatural energy of a group of extraordinaries rushing in the distance. His expression was cold, intuiting that the people from Earth Immortal City, informed of his whereabouts, were hastening through the rain - either to hunt him down or meet their demise.

Silently approaching, he observed from the shadows, spotting Beiyun Kun and a Medicinal Harvest-level expert among the group. He disregarded the others for now, considering those in the Mist, Flame Light, and even Life Earth realms as non-threats.

The group seemed to be heading towards the location of the elder crow's demise. Wang Xuan prepared for a thunderous strike, planning to eliminate the strongest first, then methodically harvest the lives of his enemies.

He quickly donned the battle attire of Heluo Star and, blending into the downpour and amidst the many, followed unnoticed. The extraordinaries, unfamiliar with each other and hailing from various regions of Heluo Star, didn’t realize his presence.

Wang Xuan silently closed in on Beiyun Kun and the Medicinal Harvest-level expert, moving naturally without drawing attention. In the dark, rain-soaked forest, he reached striking distance.

Without further delay, he erupted into action. His sword, shining brighter than lightning, slashed diagonally downwards.

With a spurt of blood, the sudden attack stunned everyone. No one expected an enemy amidst their ranks, dressed in the same uniform. The Medicinal Harvest-level expert's arm was severed, his face twisting in pain and anger. At the peak of Medicinal Harvest, on the cusp of advancing to a higher realm, his keen perception narrowly evaded the lethal strike aimed at his neck, losing only an arm in the process.

"You, the alien demon!" The enraged Medicinal Harvest-level expert roared. His body radiated intense light, boiling away the surrounding rain, and he unleashed a furious strike at Wang Xuan with his remaining hand.

Beside him, Beiyun Kun's face was splattered with blood from the wounded expert. Although the rain quickly washed it away, the fear instilled by the godlike figure of Wang Xuan remained etched in his heart, pulsating with terror. His body trembled in fear.

How could this be? In just a few days, the alien had become capable of assaulting Medicinal Harvest-level experts, instilling cold fear in Beiyun Kun. He yelled and retreated rapidly.

The light and heat dried up the nearby rain, turning the ground red and causing magma to flow. The Medicinal Harvest-level expert, burning with anger, attacked Wang Xuan with full force.

Wang Xuan remained impassive. After severing the expert's arm, he knew the battle's outcome was inevitable. This very man had once severely injured him near the bee nest, and now it was time for his retribution.

Swiftly, Wang Xuan avoided the lava, unleashing several mystical visions combined with his flying sword. Like a celestial sword, it carried with it star fire and miniature worlds, sweeping across the sky.

The spiritual visions suppressed the expert while the flying sword led the assault, creating a torrent of blood from the grievously wounded Medicinal Harvest-level fighter.

Despite his injuries and missing arm, the expert staggered forward, attacking again. The sword energy soared into the night sky, tearing through the rain and illuminating the darkness.

In the distance, many witnessed the lightning-like sword radiance intensely entwined in combat, shredding the forest. The sword light was like a dragon, like star fire, dazzling and intimidating.

Finally, the Medicinal Harvest-level expert was decapitated by the flying sword. His headless body collapsed to the ground, his head flying several meters away, landing in a puddle.

Beiyun Kun, pale-faced and speechless, plunged deep into the forest. He didn't look back, only intent on fleeing back to the Celestial Immortal City, no longer wishing to confront that terrifying man.

However, he hadn't gone far when he saw a figure blocking his path. In the midst of the torrential rain and under the flash of lightning, the young man appeared like a god or demon, his gaze cold as he swung his short sword.

"No!" Beiyun Kun screamed, desperately trying to dodge and resist this deadly strike.

With a gruesome sound, his head still flew off. He died with terror and reluctance in his eyes, his body collapsing into the muddy water.

Wang Xuan turned around, moving like a ghost through the forest, his sword light flashing sporadically.

Screams echoed one after the other as he eliminated most of the group, with only a few managing to escape through the rain curtain.

After collecting the jade symbols, Wang Xuan turned and strode in another direction, ready to hunt down another approaching group of adversaries.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
