CHAPTER 2061: CHAPTER 2060: KILLING THE GREEDY

After Lin Dong slaughtered Adam, his figure left this place.

And in the distance from the crowd, General Ying also saw this scene.

He looked at Adam, who had turned into a sky full of blood mist, shook his head, and secretly said in his heart, "That Adam was really seeking death. Just a First Stage Grandmaster, how could he be a match for Dong Lin now?"

At the same time, a sly gleam flashed in his eyes, thinking he could use this event to leverage the forces behind Adam.

Ten minutes later, Lin Dong’s figure had already left this mountain range.

He headed in the direction of Medicine City.

Originally, he intended to use several times the speed of sound to reach Medicine City in a short time.

However, he discovered that after killing Adam, someone was actually following him secretly.

Moreover, their strength actually reached the level of a Fourth Stage Grandmaster Martial Artist.

"It seems that all those people earlier were coveting the opportunities I got. This person is following me secretly, probably wanting to seize the opportunity from me," Lin Dong secretly said in his heart.

Lin Dong had always understood the saying "people are never content."

Since the other party is greedy, then naturally, Lin Dong can’t be blamed for being ruthless.

After arriving in a deserted place, Lin Dong stopped and looked towards the forest behind him.

"Friend, I don’t know why you have been following me?"

At the moment, Lin Dong had a calm expression, and his tone was very cold.

Soon, a burst of laughter was heard.

"Kid, your perception ability is not bad. Just reaching the level of a First Stage Grandmaster Martial Artist, you could actually sense a Fourth Stage Grandmaster like me following you?"

"Haha, did you get some incredible opportunity in the Hidden Dragon Cave?"

As he spoke, a withered old man stepped into the void from a tree dozens of meters high.

This person looked about to die, and a crow stood on his shoulder, with wrinkles on his face as dense as a spider’s web.

Lin Dong looked at him and replied indifferently, "Indeed, I got quite a few opportunities in the Hidden Dragon Cave. So, old fellow, you want to rob them, huh?"

"Haha, young man, you should have a sense of awe for seniors who are stronger than you. Just for daring to call me an ’old fellow’ three times, today, you cannot be allowed to live," the old man said coldly, spitting out a mouthful of dark, turbid Qi.

Just in the blink of an eye, it formed a terrifying poison mist. The poison mist spread, instantly corroding and killing the surrounding vegetation.

"Do you deserve my respect? An old fellow who’s about to die, daring to come and rob my opportunity?" Lin Dong stood with his hands behind his back, evidently not taking him seriously.

"Haha, truly ignorant and fearless, arrogantly extreme. Just having broken through to a First Stage Grandmaster, you dare speak to a Fourth Stage Grandmaster like this?"

"Do you really think that this old man doesn’t dare kill you? Do you really think that just because Qin Feng is backing you, you can be so reckless?"

"Today, let this old man slay you and take your opportunity!"

Saying this, he rushed towards Lin Dong.

"Blood Centipede Palm!" The old man launched a sinister fist technique that, while not reaching the level of Ancient Martial Arts, was already at the Forbidden Fist Level.

It was already several times stronger than some grandmaster-level fist techniques.

Lin Dong, seeing him launch this fist technique, did recognize this person.

"So it’s the Blood Centipede Old Man from Southborne. I’ve heard of you. I heard you were once a person of the Dragon Country, a few hundred years ago because of cultivating an evil forbidden art, using poison techniques, you harmed tens of thousands of people of the Dragon Country. Later, you were pursued and killed by the experts of the Dragon Country Martial Arts World at the time and fled overseas."

"On the Dragon Country Martial Arts bounty list, the bounty on you reaches ten billion."

The Dragon Country Martial Arts bounty list has existed in the Dragon Country Martial Arts World for hundreds of years, with bounty amounts for some top experts of each era.

They are targets wanted by the Martial Arts World of the Dragon Country, and these wanted individuals generally flee overseas, hiding in major countries, not daring to reveal themselves easily.

And this bounty list is part of the underground world’s Dark World information. Since the battle with King Kunlun, Lin Dong had ’fallen,’ changed his name and surname, and had read a lot of Dark World information.

Thus, he understood it very clearly.

Upon hearing Lin Dong recognize his identity, the ’Blood Centipede Old Man’ was slightly stunned, then laughed evilly:

"You actually recognize me? Are you trying to cozy up to me? But even if you kneel and beg for mercy now, it’s useless. Today, I must kill you."

A ferocious person wanted by the Martial Arts World of a country for a hundred years, his murderous nature was imaginable, and now he only wanted to slaughter Lin Dong and then seize the opportunity from him.

Lin Dong faintly smiled and said, "Cozy up to you? You’re overthinking. I just feel that since I’ve already come to the chaotic land of Southborne, I might as well kill more wanted criminals like you. Consider it a small contribution to the Martial Arts World of the Dragon Country."

"And I also want to see how powerful my Demon Shadow truly is."

Saying this, he stopped speaking further and directly took action.

"Demon Shadow!"

After performing the Demon Shadow, a dark figure emerged from Lin Dong’s body.

It looked like Lin Dong’s shadow, but within that shadow, it contained extremely terrifying dark mist.

The Demon Shadow held a sword and vanished from the original location in a flash.

The Blood Centipede Old Man had already realized something was wrong and wanted to escape quickly. He found that he seemed to have underestimated this Alchemy League’s Uncle in front of him.

His strength was far more than just a First Stage Grandmaster...

However, just as he turned to flee, he was horrified to find a cold aura coming from behind.

Subsequently, with a ’puff,’ he was shocked to discover a sword piercing through his body.

In his final moments, a last thought emerged in his mind:

"How... how is this possible! A single shadow can kill me in an instant?"

The Demon Shadow merely utilized the simplest sword technique and pierced him through with a single sword.

This sword directly stabbed into his heart, and the terrifying Sword Qi divided into countless strands and shattered his heart.

The heart turned into a blood mist within the body!

Even the powerful life energy of an Earth Realm martial artist couldn’t survive with their head blown or their heart shattered.

Filled with doubt and shock, the Blood Centipede Old Man fell to the ground.

To his death, he never knew Lin Dong’s true identity.

After killing him, Lin Dong’s ’Demon Shadow’ also absorbed all the Inner Qi and Blood Essence from his body using the ’Devouring Technique.’

The Demon Shadow inherited all the abilities of Lin Dong’s true self except for the inability to cultivate the Nine Shift Longevity secret.

Even the Devouring Technique was inherited.

The Demon Shadow used the Devouring Technique to refine the Blood Centipede Old Man.

However, since this old fellow’s vitality was already so feeble, there wasn’t much strength to gain from absorbing him through the ’Devouring Technique.’

Besides, Lin Dong’s current strength was quite formidable. Devouring a Fourth Stage Grandmaster wouldn’t significantly enhance his power either.

Lin Dong was quite satisfied with the power of the ’Demon Shadow,’ and after commanding it to clean up the Blood Centipede Old Man’s corpse, he left it behind.
