19: Chapter 19: Since we're already here, what if killing them all triggers an achievement?

In front of the iron bars of the underground tunnel in the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall.

Outside the bars, a muffled clamor reached Qin Muyuan's ears one after another; it was the sound of the audience watching the "Martial Artist and Yao Beast cricket-fighting".

In front of the bars, Qin Muyuan listened to these sounds and nodded slightly.

To be honest, Qin Muyuan had been considering whether or not to slaughter the spectators on the stands outside after fighting his way through the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall.

After all, killing or not killing the outside audience made no difference; it wouldn't affect his quest progress, nor would these spectators prevent him from rescuing Shi Gandang and the others.

However.

Since they were already here.

What if slaughtering all the spectators outside would pop up a game achievement?

Although the probability was very low, Qin Muyuan had not triggered a single game achievement from the start of the game until now.

But he felt that it was worth a try.

Anyway, trying it wouldn't hurt!

Thinking and doing it instantly, Qin Muyuan raised the pure nail and swung it forward.

Sword light flashed, and the iron bars snapped in response.

Qin Muyuan kicked away the broken iron bars with one foot and leisurely walked out of the underground tunnel.

Clatter!

Seeing that someone had finally stepped into the arena, the audience in the stands instantly burst into an even louder uproar.

"They're here! They're here! They're finally here!"

"Why are they so slow this time! What are you doing! Don't you want to make money anymore?"

"Blood! Carnage! I want to see guts and hearts being ripped out! Stop trying to fob us off by randomly finding some trash Martial Artists like last time!"

A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in the eyes of the spectators in the stands; they could not wait to see the Martial Artist and the Yao Beast fight to the death, ultimately exhausting each other and biting into one another with their teeth!

However, the two targets walking out of the tunnel did not start fighting quickly as the audience expected.

The human and the Yao walking out of the tunnel had clear eyes and completely lacked any bloodthirsty desires, unlike the violently enraged appearance they usually had upon entering previously.

"What is the meaning of this! You're just showing us this?"

"What the hell is your Baiyun Martial Arts Hall playing at? Did you buy the wrong beast medicine or something? Where's the frenzy? Where's the killing intent!"

The spectators in the stands were extremely dissatisfied because no matter how one looked at it, this human and Yao did not look like they were going crazy to fight.

That Martial Artist looked decent enough, covered in blood with blood aura lingering around him, making him look somewhat intimidating.

But that wolf Yao didn't look so good; it followed timidly behind the Martial Artist, showing none of the starved, crazed appearance of someone who hadn't eaten for days!

This cowardly look made the audience in the stands quite unsatisfied.

However, their dissatisfaction would soon disappear.

Because.

Qin Muyuan removed a copper coin from the string of copper coins and then looked up at one of the most vocal spectators in the stands.

With a flick of Qin Muyuan's thumb, the copper coin fluttered into the air in response.

"Railgun."

When the copper coin was positioned on the line connecting Qin Muyuan and that spectator, four words spilled from Qin Muyuan's lips, and a brilliant flash of lightning abruptly surged upon his fingertips!

The lightning suddenly brightened, striking the copper coin like an artillery shell.

Swish!

The air fluctuated, and the shockwave was blasted open by the lightning!

That copper coin left an afterimage in mid-air and vanished instantly.

"Motherfucker! Who are you trying to fool by bringing these two things out—"

Bang!

A massive roar exploded from the stands; before the voice of the most vocal spectator could finish falling, his expression of cursing froze at that very moment.

By the time the surrounding spectators heard the loud noise and turned to look at that spectator.

They saw that the spectator's chest was wide open, with a huge hole blasted through his torso, the edges of the wound charred flesh.

And right inside the opened chest cavity, a shattered copper coin lay in the center.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Murder, someone has been murdered!"

When they saw this scene clearly and realized what had happened, all the spectators were instantly as shocked and terrified as seeing ACG gamers stop hurling abuse at each other!

"Murder? Didn't you come to the arena just to watch people get killed?"

Qin Muyuan felt that this group of NPCs was really interesting.

They had a blast watching people get killed in the arena, so why did they suddenly chicken out when he invited them to a live-action PK?

"Wangcai, I am now lifting your restriction on eating humans; you can eat humans in this arena."

Qin Muyuan glanced at the wolf Yao beside him and said.

"Awooo!" Receiving the order, the wolf Yao immediately dashed toward the spectators in the stands.

Previously, it could resist its hunger beside Qin Muyuan because if it couldn't resist, its head would be ripped off by Qin Muyuan.

And now... having been starved for days and having received Qin Muyuan's cue, it naturally let loose its nature completely.

"Awooo!!!"

It violently rushed onto the stands, bit a spectator's body in half in one bite, and swallowed it into its belly.

However, the next moment...

"Blech!"

The wolf Yao spat out the flesh and blood it had just swallowed.

This was its first time eating a human, but... it tasted damn awful!

It couldn't compare to the wolf milk in the cave at all!

No matter how hungry it was at this moment, it couldn't swallow it down and could only take a bite before quickly spitting it out.

Behind the wolf Yao, Qin Muyuan watched its movements and nodded slightly:

"It seems this beast really wasn't lying; it hasn't eaten humans before."

Qin Muyuan shifted the copper coin previously aimed at the wolf Yao to a different direction, targeting other goals.

The lightning on his fingertips gushed forth once more, resembling the Grim Reaper's scythe, harvesting the lives of the spectators inside the arena.

...

When Xiao Chang arrived at the arena with the guards of the Xiao Mansion, he was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.

sea of corpses and blood—this was not an exaggerated figure of speech, but a literal description of the scene inside the arena.

Behind Xiao Chang, several guards who rarely saw blood held onto the walls and vomited straight away upon seeing this sight.

"Brother Qin! Brother Qin!"

Seeing this, Xiao Chang's expression tightened as he called out repeatedly, searching for Qin Muyuan's figure amidst the sea of corpses and blood.

"I'm here."

Suddenly, a calm voice came from the very top of the stands.

Hearing this, Xiao Chang was overjoyed and looked up, only to see a figure stained all over with blood, resembling a descending demon god, sitting atop the stands.

Beside him, a massive wolf Yao sat quietly to the side, gnawing on something, its fur also stained with blood.

"Brother Qin! It's great that you're alright!"

Xiao Chang stepped across the sea of corpses and blood and hurriedly rushed to Qin Muyuan's side.

After arriving at the stands, he finally saw clearly that the wolf Yao wasn't gnawing on a corpse, but was eating a pig leg bone as big as half a person.

It must have been food provided by the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall for the high-ranking officials and nobles in the private viewing rooms.

"You scared me to death, Brother Qin!" Xiao Chang let out a breath and said:

"When I saw so many Disciples of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall fallen outside, I knew that you had fought your way straight in, Brother Qin."

"Just now I was worried you wouldn't be able to beat these people, but I didn't expect your martial arts to be peerless, wiping all these people out completely without leaving a single armor-piece behind!"

Hearing the excitement in Xiao Chang's words, Qin Muyuan asked with keen interest:

"Seeing me kill so many people, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Why would I be afraid?" Xiao Chang was stunned, looked around at the dead spectators, and then realized:

"Are you referring to these people, Brother Qin? If they're killed, they're killed, what is there to fear!"

"These people provided funds to a sinful place like the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall, making them accomplices who share the same crime as the martial arts hall!"

"For you to execute them, Brother Qin, is precisely acting on behalf of Heaven and eliminating a scourge for the people!"

"Since you are performing such a righteous deed, Brother Qin, why should I be afraid?"
