89: The Soul-Guiding Banner of Ten Thousand Beasts

Chen Beixuan stared deadly at the four figures below, who shone like suns in his eyes, his heart churning.

A sense of crisis!

An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a cold viper, coiled around his heart, making him almost suffocate!

He had thought that with the “Hunter System” in his hand, he was the unique protagonist of this world, the Supreme one destined by fate.

But now it seemed, he had a few obstacles?

“Why?!”

He roared unwillingly, his nails digging deep into his palms, his eyes filled with jealousy and venom.

Why did they, with just a move, unleash world-destroying Immortal arts?

Why did they have a group of “Senior experts” eager to fawn over them?

And he, could only hide in the shadows like a rat in a gutter, relying on sneak attacks and schemes to barely survive?

No!

This script is wrong!

I, Chen Beixuan, am the protagonist!

These four guys are too dangerous.

Right! I still have the System!

As long as I kill them, seize their Legacy, and snatch their Luck…

Then all of this will be mine!

Chen Beixuan’s breathing quickened, and the eyes hidden beneath his hood gleamed with greed and madness.

He fixed his gaze deadly on Lin Fan and the other three, his undisguised killing intent almost tangible.

…

Below.

Lin Fan, who was currently caught between Chu Feng and Zhuge Qing, the two “great filial sons” clinging to his leg, making him laugh and cry, suddenly frowned slightly.

He instinctively raised his head, his gaze like lightning, looking towards the cliff where Chen Beixuan was.

“Hmm?”

He saw nothing.

But in that instant, his Ancient Desolate Body within him inexplicably trembled, and an extremely subtle, yet very uncomfortable malice, flashed and disappeared.

Was it a delusion?

Lin Fan frowned, but ultimately shook his head, not delving deeper.

The most pressing matter was still dealing with these two lively characters in front of him.

…

Above the cliff.

The moment Lin Fan’s gaze swept over, Chen Beixuan’s heart skipped half a beat, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his head!

Such keen perception!

He immediately reined in all his aura, merging himself with his surroundings, which was how he narrowly avoided being discovered.

“Can’t wait any longer!”

Chen Beixuan took a deep breath, and let out a low roar to his System in his mind.

“System! Is there any way for me to get rid of those four guys below?!”

【Ding! Warning! Warning! Detected that the target ahead possesses the Supreme Luck of this world, and behind him, there is an unexplorable terrifying existence providing protection. Danger Rank: Extremely Fatal!】

【It is recommended that the Host immediately flee far away and temporarily avoid their sharp edge!】

The System’s cold, mechanical voice, for the first time, carried a hint of… terror?

“Temporarily avoid their sharp edge?”

Chen Beixuan, hearing this, laughed in extreme anger, “If I run, will I have a way to live when they grow up?!”

“Don’t give me that damn nonsense! I only want results! Is there a way to kill them?!”

【…】

The System was silent for a moment.

【Ding! Detected Host’s firm will, meeting the conditions for activating the “Hunter” final protocol…】

【Unlocking ultimate treasure for Host…】

【Unlock successful! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Myriad Beast Soul-Guiding Banner (Incomplete)!】

Buzz!

A black light flashed, and an ancient small banner, entirely black, embroidered with thousands of ferocious beast shadows, appeared in Chen Beixuan’s hand.

Upon the small banner, an evil and primeval aura that made one’s heart palpitate emanated.

【Myriad Beast Soul-Guiding Banner: An ancient Demonic Path Supreme treasure, capable of forcibly enslaving Yao Beast Divine Souls to fight for its wielder. This banner is a fragment, capable of controlling Yao Beasts two to three major Realms higher than the Host, with no limit on quantity. Note: Each use will consume a portion of the Host’s life essence.】

“Good! Good! Good!”

Chen Beixuan looked at the Soul-Guiding Banner in his hand, his eyes bursting with ecstatic light!

This, this was the trump card he wanted!

This, this was the treatment a protagonist should have!

What Immortal Emperor, what Son of Luck!

In the face of absolute power, they were all nothing!

“Just you wait…”

Chen Beixuan’s face revealed a ferocious sneer, “When I gather a myriad beast tide, I will definitely crush you all into dust!”

He no longer hesitated in the slightest, silently detaching himself from the Profound Sword Sect’s team, his figure flickering, turning into a black shadow, and stealthily heading towards an area marked on the System map as glowing purplish-red, indicating the presence of “high-Rank Yao Beasts.”

…

At the same time.

Tianwu Continent, somewhere in the Northern Region.

A desolate, uninhabited border town.

A “little beggar” wearing a tattered monk’s robe, his face smeared with soot, and his hair as messy as a chicken’s nest, was squatting at the town entrance, idly poking a stray dog with a foxtail grass.

It was Lu Yuchen, who was bored stiff and had come out to experience life, and incidentally see if he could “abduct”… ah no, “seek” a few fated individuals.

He had been wandering in this broken place for several days, and hadn’t even seen a decent prospect.

“Sigh, the young people of this generation, their bone structure isn’t good.”

Lu Yuchen sighed, feeling that as a Master, he was truly breaking his heart for the Sect’s development.

Just as he was about to change locations and continue his “fate-seeking” endeavor.

In his mind, the familiar System prompt, without warning, rang out frantically!

The voice was no longer the usual cold machinery, but rather… carried a hint of unprecedented vigilance and solemnity!

【Ding! Warning! Warning!】

【Detected the presence of another “System” wielder in the area where the Host’s four Personal Disciples are located!】

【System Rank Judgement: Low!】

【System Type Judgement: Plunder Type!】

【Threat Rank Judgement: Medium (Poses a fatal threat to Disciples)!】

Boom!

The laziness and ease on Lu Yuchen’s face instantly solidified!

He suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes, which always carried a hint of cynicism, at this moment, burst forth with a terrifying cold light capable of freezing the Soul, along with bewilderment.

There are other Systems?!
