703: Instant Kill Hunting

"battle merit isn't easy to earn."

Half a month later, Lin Yang gazed at the boundless space and murmured.

During this half-month, he hadn't encountered many Foreign races.

The few times he did, they were Foreign races traveling in groups, and he didn't rashly attack them.

Lone Foreign races were hard to come by.

Lin Yang could understand; here, everyone was at least at the Half-step Dao Above cultivation level, and it was very difficult to kill another existence of the same level in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, most of them formed teams and cooperated with each other.

Those brave enough to act alone were basically existences that could be called King, and naturally, they weren't easy to encounter.

However, Lin Yang was not in a hurry, because there were no safe zones within the entire Battlefield Ancient Domain.

As long as he wandered long enough, he would eventually encounter suitable Foreign race teams.

He was quite confident in his stealth methods.

As long as he didn't actively expose himself, others would basically find it very difficult to discover him.

Subsequently, Lin Yang began to roam the battlefield, observing the battles between other people and Foreign race teams.

"If I launch a surprise attack now, with full power, I should be able to instantly kill ordinary Half-step Dao Above cultivators."

After observing several battles between other cultivators and Foreign race teams, Lin Yang pondered.

Currently, his optimal attack target was a three-person Foreign race team.

He was confident he could instantly kill a three-person team within a very short period.

Preventing them from even transmitting a message.

If there were more than three people, it would require a tiny bit more time.

And that extra bit of time might allow the fourth person to transmit a message.

Once a message was transmitted, it would let other Foreign races know that another powerful King-level existence like him had appeared in the Battlefield Ancient Domain, which would be detrimental to his actions.

Although he could remain hidden, it was likely that the Foreign race's actions would become much more cautious, reducing the number of three-person teams.

"Three-person teams are the best target; four-person teams are also acceptable, but not more than four people!"

Finally, Lin Yang decided on his attack targets.

He would only attack four-person teams that appeared relatively ordinary, completely disregarding any team with more than four members.

Stronger four-person teams were also not considered.

And four-person teams were relatively common in the Ancient Domain.

As long as he acted fast enough, he could still relatively safely acquire battle merit for a period of time.

After setting his target, Lin Yang began to act with purpose... To the southeast of Lin Yang's current location.

A four-person Foreign race team was cautiously approaching Lin Yang's direction.

"Damn it, now that those King-level powerhouses among the cultivators have left, we can finally venture out more boldly. The previous period was truly suffocating."

An Foreign race powerhouse muttered softly.

Another nodded in agreement: "Yes, especially King Baoning, who truly rampaged in the Ancient Domain for quite a while. We didn't dare show our faces during that time. Luckily, he needed to break through and went into seclusion. This also stimulated several other King-level cultivators to go into seclusion and leave the Battlefield Ancient Domain. Otherwise, we really wouldn't dare to venture out like this."

"There are only a few King-level existences on the cultivators' side right now. With them gone, our pressure is greatly reduced. This time, we must hunt cultivators thoroughly!"

The Foreign races communicated using sound transmission.

Suddenly—

Whoosh!

A silver light pierced through the void, striking through the brow of one of the Foreign races.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Immediately after, two splendid, colorful World-in-a-Flowers bloomed, their power instantly killing two Foreign races.

Clang!

Then, a large Sky Tremor Bell descended from the sky, suppressing the entire space.

The only Foreign race that hadn't been instantly killed instantly widened his eyes, filled with shock.

"This... this power... it's King-level... and an invincible King-level..."

This Foreign race was greatly alarmed, instinctively wanting to transmit a message.

An invincible King-level existence had appeared in the Battlefield Ancient Domain again; this was very important news!

However, in the next instant, the Sky Tremor Bell directly slammed onto him, and at the same time, a Silver Dragon Spear was thrust out. This Foreign race didn't even have time to transmit any message before he was killed on the spot!

Four Foreign races were all killed in approximately one second!

The one who attacked was Lin Yang!

Whoosh!

After killing the four Foreign races, Lin Yang took their identity tokens and spatial rings, destroyed their bodies, and then quickly left the spot.

It wasn't until he had fled a great distance that Lin Yang found a seemingly secluded spot, sat down cross-legged to recover, and simultaneously reviewed the situation he had just faced.

After receiving further instruction from the senior Silver Armor Heroic Soul Warrior, the Silver Dragon Spear technique could instantly kill an ordinary Half-step Dao Above.

The power of each World-in-a-Flower could also instantly kill an ordinary Half-step Dao Above.

Only the Sky Tremor Bell, if simply smashed, couldn't instantly kill; it required an additional spear thrust.

"But it doesn't matter much. As long as I'm fast enough and don't give them a chance to react, it's just a matter of one extra spear thrust."

Lin Yang was quite satisfied with the result of instantly killing four Foreign races.

Although, the consumption was a bit high.

To be safe, he simultaneously condensed two World-in-a-Flowers, which almost instantly drained the Dao power from his body.

However, compared to the gains, this consumption was not unacceptable.

Besides battle merit, there were also the spatial rings of the four individuals.

Although there weren't many good things inside.

But it was more than enough to compensate for the consumption.

Because everyone knew that entering the Battlefield Ancient Domain meant the possibility of death at any time, so they wouldn't carry too many valuable items with them.

This was also why Lin Yang had rarely collected spoils of war before.

Some low-cultivation Foreign races didn't even wear spatial rings.

There were simply no spoils of war to collect.

It was only these powerful Half-step Dao Above Foreign races, with their richer personal wealth, that made him collect their spatial rings.

"It's unrealistic to expect to get rich by acquiring spoils of war; at most, it can only compensate for my consumption. I still have to rely on accumulating battle merit."

Lin Yang sorted through the belongings of the four, his heart unmoved.

A few days later, Lin Yang fully recovered and resumed his actions.

With the experience from his previous attack, Lin Yang's actions were even more fluid and natural when he encountered his next target.

That Foreign race team was annihilated before they even had a chance to see his face.

Lin Yang was satisfied as he collected their identity tokens and spatial rings before leaving.

In the days that followed, Lin Yang spent his time in a cycle of killing Otherworldly Races—recovering—and killing Foreign races again.

After seven or eight years, some Foreign races finally noticed that something was amiss.

The number of Foreign race teams that had died in recent years had clearly increased significantly.

Most of them were teams of three or four, which naturally attracted the attention of observant individuals.

Subsequently, Lin Yang could also clearly perceive that teams of three or four were beginning to decrease significantly; often, the teams he encountered were at least five people or more.

"My existence has still been detected."

Lin Yang sighed, knowing that some Foreign races had already become aware that another invincible King-level cultivator had entered the Battlefield Ancient Domain and were beginning to act cautiously.

At the same time, equally King-level Foreign races also began to enter the Battlefield Ancient Domain, preparing to hunt him.

"Since I can't hide anymore, then I might as well go on a massive killing spree."

Subsequently, Lin Yang no longer intended to continue hiding himself and prepared to undertake a major operation. (End of chapter)
