Scared Away?? A Late-Night Sneak Attack??

Tonight, slaughter never slept!

Chen Yuan made his move. His fifty-meter-tall Susanoo strode across the battlefield, gripping two fifty-meter-long greatswords in its hands. With only a few swings, he sent eight thousand men fleeing, abandoning their helmets and armor.

Piercing screams rang out everywhere!

At the entrance to the town.

Figures crowded together, all of them watching the battle.

Jiang Han said gravely, "That's Susanoo?"

He gazed at the enormous purple monster, as tall as a mountain. With every step it took, the ground shook violently.

Even from a kilometer away, they could feel the earth trembling.

"Mayor." He Jun walked over and said, "Chen Yuan has reached our town."

"How should we deal with him? He's slaughtering people right now. I don't think he'll be easy to deal with."

"Besides, a lot of the villagers want to join forces and kill him so they can become gods."

Jiang Han said in a low voice, "Killing him won't be that easy, but..."

He thought it over and said, "He's been killing for most of the day, and it's night now. I reckon he'll want to sleep."

"We'll leave first and come back for a sneak attack once he's asleep."

"Spread the word. All the Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors are to come with me. We're leaving now."

"What about everyone else?" He Jun asked. Were they just going to abandon them?

If the mayor took away their core fighting force, how were the tens of thousands left behind supposed to deal with the terrifying Chen Yuan?

Jiang Han said, "There are too many people. They can't all get away. Once we've left, you can tell them. Whoever wants to leave can leave."

"All right!"

They didn't have much time left. Chen Yuan could finish off the thousands on the battlefield over there at any moment, and then he would set his sights on the town. They had to make a decision.

Jiang Han quietly led the Soul Ancestors and most of the Soul Elders out of town. They hid in the mountains behind it, waiting to launch a sneak attack that night.

Boom!!!

Chen Yuan struck down the last person with one swing of his sword and surveyed the battlefield, a mess from end to end.

He looked toward the town.

"Run! The mayor's fled!!" Someone shouted, startling the villagers who had still been watching.

"Run! The evil god Chen Yuan is coming!"

A dense crowd of Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters fled in every direction.

Scared away??

Chen Yuan watched countless Soul Masters depart in all directions. Good. Now I won't have to kill them one by one.

He led the Impure World Reincarnation army into town.

Everyone who saw him was so frightened that they panicked and rolled on the ground.

"That's terrifying." The scene was broadcast all over the world, and they all saw it through the sky screen.

As soon as Chen Yuan arrived, a town of tens of thousands had defeated itself without a fight.

"This is ridiculous."

"Is he really that powerful?"

"A whole town scared into fleeing for their lives? Was that really necessary?!"

Some people couldn't understand it. As far as they knew, some towns had at least Soul Ancestors and experts above the Soul Ancestor level.

An older Soul Master said, "He beat the fear into those people."

With only a few swings, he had cut his way through eight thousand people and shattered the mental defenses of a town of tens of thousands.

Hmph.

Chen Yuan deactivated Susanoo, entered a restaurant, and grabbed a waiter who hadn't run away yet.

The waiter was scared witless. He dropped to his knees and begged, "Please, spare me! I have old parents and young children to look after. Life really isn't easy."

Chen Yuan patted him on the head.

The waiter went completely limp with fright.

"Don't kill me!" he shrieked.

"Useless trash! Roll!!"

"Yes! Yes!" The waiter scrambled up and rolled away. He actually rolled across the floor several times before getting up and saying, "Thank you for sparing my life!"

With that, he ran off in a panic.

Chen Yuan brought the Impure World Reincarnation legion over to surround the place. There wasn't a soul left in the restaurant.

He went inside, spotted the fine wine on display, and set a jar of it on a table. Then he found a bowl and chopsticks.

The whole world saw this.

"He's going to eat."

"That's right. Walking and killing for half the day straight must have taken a lot out of him."

As countless Soul Masters speculated,

Chen Yuan poured himself a large bowl of wine and gulped it down. How satisfying.

He went into the kitchen and saw several large pots still cooking. Each contained a different kind of food, and all of it was ready.

The people in the restaurant had been so frightened that they had all run away, leaving him to reap the benefit.

Mutton, beef, fish, chicken, as well as side dishes and peanuts.

There were also several finished dishes on the counter, still hot and not yet served.

He grabbed a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, saying as he ate,

"I know you're all watching me."

"I'm enjoying my meal right now."

"Beef, fish, you name it."

"More than half of you aren't eating as well as I am."

Countless Soul Masters watched him eat beef, carry dishes to the table, and eat and drink, and they were green with envy.

Indeed, many Soul Masters didn't have such carefree lives.

Many people stared at the sky screen and said enviously, "Hmph, go on and eat. I hope you eat yourself to death."

"The way I see it, this is your last meal."

"After this, your eating days are over."

The town of tens of thousands had become deserted. Everyone had run away, leaving only the cries of chickens, ducks, and geese.

A dog followed the smell to the restaurant.

Chen Yuan, who was eating, saw it and casually tossed it a chicken bone.

The little dog picked it up and ran off.

He smiled and continued eating and drinking.

"With no one around, I can sleep soundly without a worry."

He spoke to himself.

Even though he knew the night might not be peaceful.

But so what?

He stationed the Impure World Reincarnation army at various places around him, ready to act at any moment.

At the slightest movement, he would wake up and start killing.

If anyone comes to sneak-attack me tonight, don't blame me for killing without mercy!

"Invisibility!!"

He used invisibility so no one would know exactly where he was sleeping.

"He's turned invisible!" The people of Spirit Hall had all seen it.

They knew it was the Invisibility Technique.

"The sky screen's live broadcast is still going. He's inside the restaurant. He hasn't left; he's resting. He just doesn't want us to see his exact location."

"Yes, that's right."

In the mountains behind the town.

Night gradually fell.

Jiang Han and a group of Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders lay low in the forest, watching the restaurant surrounded by the Impure World Reincarnation army on the sky screen.

"Mayor, when do we make our move?" a Soul Ancestor asked. They were all excited; after all, a chance might have appeared for them to kill Chen Yuan in an instant.

"I say we wipe out the restaurant along with him and kill him inside."

His proposal was ruthless.

But it wasn't without reason.

If they went inside and woke him, the consequences would be even more terrifying.

Jiang Han said, "A good suggestion. It's just what I was thinking. We'll talk after midnight."

"Although he's resting now, he'll still be on guard. After midnight, people get sleepier and are more likely to fall into a deep sleep. When that happens, we'll attack together."

"Use every Soul Skill we have! Kill Chen Yuan!"

"All right!"

"We must kill him in one strike!!"

Everyone watched the sky screen, full of ambition, waiting for their chance to strike.

The night grew darker. Many Soul Masters across the continent stopped watching the sky screen and began to rest.

Bibi Dong had a sedan chair prepared and went inside to rest, while others carried her through the air.
