Chapter 86: The Members of the Demonic Sect

“You talk too much. If you have the ability, then come at me.” Lin An said calmly as he made his stance.

Ran Gang’s arrival had not caused the Scarlet Cloud Sect cultivators to panic. They had already witnessed Lin An wipe out the members of the Forest Wolf Gang, and they were confident that he could take on the five nascent soul cultivators from the demonic sect.

Some of the cultivators from the Scarlet Cloud Sect even sympathized with the pitiful members of the demonic sect. They were about to be exterminated, yet they were still acting high and mighty.

Abruptly, Lin An took out a cannon from the success rate system’s storage space.

He had obtained the cannon after drawing a hundred lottery coins the previous day, but he did not know much about its power, so he decided to test its functionality on the demonic sect cultivators.

The aggressive cultivators were surprised when they saw Lin An suddenly take out the strangely shaped cannon.

They couldn’t believe how inexplicable his action was.

“What is he doing? Why did he bring out a cannon?”

“Is he scared silly by our formation? Could it be that he wants to use a cannon usually used by mortals to fight against us?”

“Could it be that he wants to set off fireworks?”

“No way! I see a faint energy fluctuation on this cannon. Could it be some kind of magic treasure?”

“Are you crazy? Who would he use a cannon as a magic treasure? Its power is usually dull and heavy. It would be a complete burden in a fight.”

“You’re right.”

“Hehe. I’d like to see what kind of tricks you want to play!” Ran Gang sneered. “It’s just a mere cannon. Even if I stand here, you can’t hurt me at all.”

Suddenly, Lin An laughed,

“Then you better watch carefully!”

Boom!

A blinding beam of light with a destructive power blasted towards the members of the demonic sect.

The beam of light was so bright that it blinded their eyes!

After two minutes, the light gradually extinguished, and the demonic sect cultivators slowly opened their eyes.

To everyone’s surprise, more than half of the members of the demonic sect, including three nascent soul stage cultivators, had disappeared. It seemed that they had all died from Lin An’s attack!

The Scarlet Cloud Sect members were also shocked to see that Ran Gang had also lost an arm.

Suddenly, a strange silence came over the scene.

The cultivators from the demonic sect who had survived the previous shot were all in a daze.

Even Ran Gang, who had the highest cultivation level among the demonic sect members, was stunned.

The immortal cultivators had never witnessed such a devastating mortal weapon.

After Lin An had fired the shot, Ran Gang hadn’t even had time to react before he had been blinded by the light.

In an instant, a strong destructive power had emanated from the cannon.

Before Ran Gang had recovered his vision, he had first felt a sharp pain coming from half of his body. Then, when his vision came back to him, he saw that more than half of his subordinates had disappeared, along with three nascent soul stage subordinates.

“Aah!”

Ran Gang let out a roar of anger and pain.

The other members of the demonic sect regained their senses after they heard the painful howl. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stupefied.

“What… What happened?”

“Where are my friends! Why did they disappear?”

“What happened… Master, your hand!”

Suddenly, the few surviving demonic sect cultivators panicked and lost their minds.

They hadn’t expected such a seemingly ordinary cannon to release such terrifying power.

The impact of the cannon’s first strike had also surprised Lin An, but at the same time, it also made him realize its most fatal flaw.

It was too expensive!

The first cannon shot had completely used up all of its energy. If he wanted to continue using it, he would have to spend one hundred lottery coins to recharge it!

“Quickly, run!”

Ran Gang shouted and directly jumped up from his original position. Suddenly, he mounted onto his flying sword and rushed towards the mountains.

When they saw their leader’s sudden move, the surviving demonic sect cultivators all followed him and fled.

“Haha!”

A huge golden beam of light flashed and appeared from the mountain gate and immediately caught up to the fleeing cultivators.

Lin An had quickly spent one hundred lottery coins to fire a second blast from his cannon.

All of the fleeing demonic sect cultivators were affected, and they instantly turned into ashes.

Afterward, Lin An saw a series of notifications pop up on the success rate system.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained thirty lottery coins.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained thirty-two lottery coins.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained thirty-four lottery coins.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a lucky drop, golden core stage advancement pill.]

…

The success rate system’s notifications kept ringing in Lin An’s ears, and he was delighted to obtain another golden core stage advancement pill.

Without wasting any time, Lin An hurriedly took out the advancement pill and ate it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to the peak golden core stage.]

The success rate system rang out. Lin An had finally advanced to the peak of the golden core stage.

…

After wiping out the members of the demonic sect, Lin An walked leisurely along the mountain path. He had already left the Scarlet Cloud Sect after kindly declining Shao Baifeng’s offer to be an elder in the sect.

At that moment, Lin An came upon a desolate grassland. The Jiuxiao Sect was still very far away, and if he were to travel by foot, it would take him at least two months to reach it.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to return to his sect. As the saying went, everything along the way was a scenery. It was better to take a stroll and explore the mountains.

“Robbery!”

After Lin An had branched onto a small path, a few people suddenly appeared.

One of the middle-aged men said to Lin An, “Fellow Daoist, I advise you to hand over all your belongings. This is the foot of my Cang Wu mountain. With a single signal, dozens of my brothers will rush over. It’s better if you don’t try to resist.”

Lin An was secretly delighted when he heard the man’s words.

The man in front of him had the highest cultivation level of the group of bandits, and he was only at the eighth level of the golden core stage. The others were mostly at the foundation establishment realm.

After learning about their intentions, Lin An suddenly laughed, and the middle-aged man said angrily, “What an arrogant brat. Brothers, let’s take him down together.”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man unsheathed his flying sword, and after he waved his hand, the flying sword turned into a streak of light and charged towards Lin An.

A few foundation establishment stage companions also walked forward and surrounded Lin An to prevent him from escaping.

After the bandits sealed off Lin An’s escape route, they looked at him and revealed cold smiles. “This kid really doesn’t know his own limits. He dares to go against us at the foot of the Cang Wu Mountain. With a few senior brothers working together, even a nascent soul stage powerhouse can bend to our will…”

Before the bandit had finished speaking, Lin An’s figure instantly turned into a streak of lightning. With a flash in their eyes, he charged straight towards the middle-aged man.

Clang!

The middle-aged man reacted quickly and flipped his flying sword to block Lin An’s strike.

However, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword immediately connected with the bandit’s flying sword and split his body in half!

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, and his head was separated from his body as his fresh blood stained the ground.

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. The remaining bandits turned pale, and their eyes were filled with fear.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained twenty-one lucky draw coins.]
