Chapter 133: Requiem Scripture, Suona
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After earning big from selling the monkey demons’ heads, Zhou Chen spent the night peacefully in Phoenix Ridge City. Then, he continued to enter the mountain to search for demons the next day.
His goal was clear. He went to the location where he had killed the monkey demons yesterday and asked the wild beasts where the fleeing monkey demons were.
After resting for a night, he had completely recovered. He did not need to carry a large number of monkey demon heads, so he could focus on searching for those monkey demons.
The reason why he was not letting these monkey demon survivors off was mainly because he realized that the chance of obtaining Inspiration Pills by killing them was higher. It was more beneficial to kill them than to try his luck elsewhere.
Zhou Chen spent the day in the mountains. He relied on the information of the beasts, the probing ability of the Bloodthirst passive skill, and his high speed to find and kill several monkey demons hiding in the mountains.
However, none of these monkey demons dropped Inspiration Pills. He could only bring back a few demon heads and exchange them for some money.
When night fell, Zhou Chen quickly returned to Phoenix Ridge City. Then, he left the small city under the moonlight and began to advance towards the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect that very night.
Originally, his plan was to return to Caelian City to obtain the reward for the Green Faced Demon, but he thought about how he already had a lot of money on him and did not lack money, so he prioritized the search for cultivation techniques and headed in the direction of Furnace Mountain that night.
“After awakening the Pure Yang Overlord Body, my cultivation speed is much faster. If I can successfully obtain a suitable cultivation technique, I might be able to be initiated in a few days…”
He rode the horse he had snatched from the swarthy coachman and moved at a moderate pace, thinking about how to obtain a suitable cultivation technique.
But before he could figure out a plan, he realized that some people were surrounding him with the Bloodthirst passive skill.
These people’s blood had strange energy. Clearly, they were some native martial artists.
‘The cultivation technique sources have come, but these people don’t seem too powerful.’
Zhou Chen could perceive some of the target’s strength through the Bloodthirst passive skill. He determined from the strength of the life and energy in the blood of these people that they were not very powerful and were not much of a threat to him.
Half a minute later, in the wilderness illuminated by the moonlight, Zhou Chen, who was riding a horse, was surrounded by eight masked men dressed in black who were also riding horses.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
After being surrounded by these masked riders, Zhou Chen did not panic. He sat on his horse and asked them calmly.
“Silver or your life, choose one.”
The leader of the masked men replied to Zhou Chen coldly, indicating their goal.
“So you’re doing this for my money. Looks like you guys might have been working as demon slayers in Phoenix Ridge City.”
Zhou Chen immediately understood. He had brought such a large bag of monkey demons’ heads to exchange for more than 200 silver ingots yesterday. Those who were well-informed would definitely know about it.
Zhou Chen looked at them and said calmly, “But I worked hard to earn all my money. I can’t give it to you just because you say so.”
“Attack!”
When these masked men saw that Zhou Chen refused to cooperate, they immediately attacked.
Two masked men in black jumped up from their horses and attacked Zhou Chen from the sky.
The other six men in black also pulled out their weapons and blocked Zhou Chen’s escape.
One of them was even more bizarre. He pulled up his black mask and took out a suona1. He aimed it at Zhou Chen and began to play.
“F*ck! They have prepared my funeral song already?”
Zhou Chen was standing on a horse. He was being attacked from both sides, but he still had the time to observe the person blowing the suona.
Because he felt that the two people attacking him from the sky were a little slow. It had been half a second already, but they had still not reached him.
“Weaklings. How boring.”
Zhou Chen felt that this speed was full of flaws. They were dreaming if they thought they could touch him with this speed.
“Let me show you what speed is… Windrun!”
He immediately activated Windrun and instantly shot forward, directly smashing the blade of the man who was flying over into pieces. Then, he turned around and attacked the person behind him, exploding his head with a punch.
In the blink of an eye, the two masked men who had tried to perform aerial attacks were instantly killed.
“Martial Dao Master?!”
After this performance, the few people who were originally blocking Zhou Chen’s escape were instantly shocked. One of them cried out in surprise, and they all turned around and fled.
“Don’t even think of it!”
Zhou Chen found it boring that the thugs had given up as soon as the attack began. He maintained Windrun skill to chase after the person who had played the suona earlier.
“Your suona performance was quite good. It made me feel a little dizzy.”
Zhou Chen landed on his horse and spoke into his ear.
However, the person who had blown the suona did not respond. He jumped off the horse and strangely turned around in the air, scattering a lump of unknown powder on Zhou Chen.
“Ah!”
Zhou Chen immediately let out a miserable cry.
The suona player, who had just landed and was about to continue fleeing, was delighted. He took out his suona and prepared to continue playing.
But before he could blow the suona, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
“What are you thinking? Did you really think I was affected?”
The suona player’s smile froze. He couldn’t help but glance at the spot where he had scattered the dust and realized that there was no one there. The person who should have been rolling and screaming was standing beside him without anyone noticing.
Bang!
Before the man could react, his head was smashed by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen had indeed been acting just now. He had relied on his Dynamic Vision to discover this dirty move before the man scattered the powder. Then, he immediately activated the Shield passive skill, perfectly blocking the powder. At the same time, he gave a tragic cry, making this person think that he could counterattack.
[You have killed a Demonic Sound Sect disciple. Reward: “Requiem Scripture”.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the passive skill of the Demon Sound Sect’s disciple, “Suona II”. Do you want to absorb it?]
“???”
After hearing the system’s announcement, a few question marks appeared in Zhou Chen’s head. He really did not expect that killing this person would drop a passive skill called Suona.
“Combat and spear arts can both be passive skills, so it makes sense for there to be suona passive skill.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen felt that this matter was not ridiculous.
“Absorb…”
After struggling for half a second, Zhou Chen chose to absorb this strange passive skill.
