I’m Cultivating Immortality While Everyone Else Practices Martial Arts c1-229

by Big Yeeeaaar

  Andrew nodded.

  The young warrior asked again, “Is this your first time?”

  Seeing Andrew nod again, the young warrior could not help but praise, “Awesome!”

  “Looking at your age, you should be only 20 years old, a sophomore?

  “Are you a prospective fighter, or have you already become a warrior?

  “This is your first time going to the wilderness. Didn’t your teacher accompany you?”

  This young martial artist didn’t have any ill intentions.

  Judging by the Blood Qi emitting from his body, one could roughly estimate his strength. He was only a martial artist of the second rank.

  There were two other martial artists sitting in the car, and their strength was about the same as this young man’s. Besides a few composite metal weapons in the pickup truck, there were also some guns, ammunition, and supplies.

  “Where are you going? If It’s on the way, we can go together.”

  The young warrior continued to chat with Andrew.

  The bearded warrior who was driving was a little unhappy.

  There was a scar on his face, and the hostility on his body was very strong. He frowned and said sternly, “John, what are you talking about with a stinky student? Since he’s willing to die alone, just let him go. We have to get to golden town as soon as possible.

  “Damn it, these students are really looking for trouble. How dare they run into the wilderness without any strength?”

  After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

  “These students?”

  Andrew was deep in thought. Had there been students who came to the wilderness alone like him in the past?

  But it was a pity that he couldn’t catch a ride.

  He didn’t know where he was going, so he just wandered around the outskirts of the wilderness first.

  For example, the three second-grade martial artists didn’t seem to be worried at all in this area, which meant that the demonic beasts nearby weren’t powerful.

  The reason why demonic beasts were called “demons” was that apart from being strong, they also had some intelligence. They knew that the city where the human army was stationed was dangerous, so they avoided it. Therefore, it was considered a safe area within ten kilometers of the city for humans.

  Except for some weaker demon beasts.

  They had no concept of danger, so they could be spotted frequently on the outskirts of the wilderness.

  “Huh?”

  “This is… a park?”

  After walking for more than an hour, Andrew suddenly stopped.

  In front of him, there was a ruin.

  None of the buildings inside were intact. On the half-collapsed door plate, the word “Park” could be vaguely seen. Inside, there was an artificial lake.

  “East River Park!”

  A name suddenly popped up in Andrew’s mind.

  Yesterday, when he was looking at the demon beasts’ information, he had seen an article on East River Park.

  During peacetime, in the man-made lake, to increase the publicity and attract tourists, crocodiles had been bred.

  Later, when the spiritual essence recovered, the crocodiles evolved, eventually turning into terrifying giant crocodiles. It could be said that they were the strongest demon beasts within twenty kilometers outside Boston City!

  Three years ago, when Charles first arrived in Boston’s Martial Arts Administration, he came here to kill the crocodile demon.

  At that time, he had just entered the Grandmaster realm.

  The crocodile demon had the strength of a peak grade-six.

  After a big battle, almost completely destroying East River Park, the crocodile demon escaped into the water. Only then did Chief Charles stop chasing it.

  After all, once he entered the water, the outcome of the battle would become uncertain.

  But more importantly, the crocodile demon was born with intelligence and lived in this artificial lake. It did not come out to do evil. Even a few warriors who were eaten by it had provoked it first.

  According to some rumors, Chief Charles and the crocodile demon had reached some kind of agreement.

  “A peak sixth-grade demon beast. If I kill it, how many strengthening points can I get…”

  Andrew was a little tempted, but he quickly suppressed this thought.

  He was not one of those idiots who came here to die. Three years ago, even Chief Charles could not do anything to this crocodile demon, let alone after three years.

  This crocodile demon’s strength had probably long reached the seventh-grade.

  Andrew thought of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

  He did not know how powerful this thing was. He had not tested it before. If it was powerful enough, he could buy dozens of them after he earned enough strengthening points. Imagine dozens of Thunder Talismans falling at the same time; would he still be afraid of the crocodile demon then?

  “Let’s find a place to scout the area around here first.

  “I’m no match for the crocodile demon now. I can only wait for an opportunity later and try again.”

  Andrew retreated back to the highway.

  He followed the signs on the roadside and found the location of golden town.

  There was a large number of steel factories outside the town.

  During peacetime, the residents of the town used to refine iron here. Now, it was abandoned, and no one came to these places.

  Just as Andrew was about to enter the golden town, he heard an ear-piercing sound of an explosion. Andrew suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

  A cannonball flew less than ten meters above his head, carrying a long tongue of fire. It exploded in the jungle about three hundred meters behind him.

  Boom!

  The earth shook, and the mountains trembled.

  A huge monster seemed to have been hit by a bomb. It roared and rushed into the dilapidated town.

  “I hit It!

  “I’ve hit the Black Wind Ash Wolf. It’s heavily injured and has rushed into the town!”

  Not far from the side, on the roof of a rusted steel house, a strong and sturdy warrior jumped down with a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

  Bang!

  His feet directly cracked the cement floor.

  The warrior carried the rocket launcher in one hand and ran towards the Golden Town in large strides. He spoke in his earpiece, “Fourth Brother, observe the Black Wind Ash Wolf’s movements. Boss, Third Brother, don’t attack yet. This bastard is injured. The longer we delay, the weaker it will be.”

  He glanced at Andrew. Then, he ran past him and continued towards the Golden Town.

  Andrew recovered from his daze and touched his hair.

  That was close. If the rocket had missed, he would have been blown into pieces.

  To be honest, he was a little scared.

  No wonder people on the forum said that the wilderness was teeming with danger. It not only included monsters but also these cold people.

  Although they were not as bad as hired killers, they did not have any mercy for life.

  To these people, entering the wilderness to eliminate the demon beasts was not for the revival of the human race.

  It was all for themselves.

  They would sell the demon beasts and obtain a high reward.

  Andrew strode forward and chased after him.

  What about him?

  Andrew was almost killed here. Even if it was an unintentional act, that guy did not even say a word of apology?

  Moreover, when he brushed past him just now, the gaze he threw at him…? There was even a hint of disdain?

  The brawny martial artist was in third-grade. His Blood Qi was strong, and his aura was steady. Standing at almost two meters tall, his physique was burly. He had a rocket launcher on his shoulder and ran wildly without being affected in the slig
htest.

  However…

  When the guy turned his head, he found a young man with a backpack and a white-clothed blade on his waist following behind him. He couldn’t help but glare and shout, “Kid, what are you doing?”

  He cursed and said, “Get lost quickly. You’re so young, yet you came to such a place to die? That’s the Black Wind Ash Wolf, a peak fourth-grade demon beast. Even if it’s injured, it’s not something a kid like you can take advantage of.”

  He thought that Andrew was the same as the other warrior groups in Golden Town.

  They had all heard the news about their Gale Group attacking the Black Wind Ash Wolf. So, they had rushed to Golden Town early in order to take advantage of the situation.

  “Huh?”

  Andrew didn’t understand what he meant.

  However, a demon beast at the peak of the fourth grade… should be much more powerful than that killer Black Wolf.

  It should be able to withstand two strikes from him?

  After all, he was now a little more powerful than when he killed Black Wolf.

  “Get lost!”

  Seeing Andrew continuing to brazenly follow him, the brawny man became furious. He said coldly, “The martial artists from Boston are really bold. You’re just a little kid. I don’t even know if you have completed the bone tempering phase, yet you actually want to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?”

  He did not make a move either.

  Relying on his iron tower-like body, he just leaned toward Andrew…

  This test was very elaborate.

  Not only did the guy use the increase in speed, he even used a martial arts battle technique called “Iron Mountain.” With this strength, even a small car would be deformed.

  Noticing that he was about to collide with this little brat, a smile appeared on the burly man’s lips.

  With this ‘Iron Mountain,’ the brat, a prospective martial artist who might not even have his face tempered, would definitely die!

  Moreover, in the wilderness, even if he killed someone, as long as he was not caught by the Martial Arts Administration, who could control him?

  However…

  In the next moment, the smile on his face froze, as if he had seen a ghost.

  Didn’t I hit him?

  Shouldn’t his internal organs be shattered and his body sent flying?

  Why did it feel like he had hit a mountain?

  Instead, he was sent flying.

  Crack.

  The burly man let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his spine had been shattered!

  He flew more than ten meters and landed on the grass at the side, sliding another six or seven meters before he barely stopped. The rocket launcher on his shoulder rolled to the side. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked miserable.

  “Second Brother?”

  “Second Brother, what’s wrong?”

  “Second Brother!”

  Three surprised cries came out from his earpiece.

  “Ding!”

  “You have defeated a grade-three martial artist. Reward: +10 strengthening points.”

  In his mind, the system notification sounded.

  Andrew stopped and looked coldly at the burly martial artist lying on the grass.

  Just now, he had clearly sensed a strong killing intent from that burly man!

  “This man treated me as a prospective martial artist, but that move just now… Not to mention a prospective martial artist, even a first-grade martial fighter would have a hard time surviving!”

  Were all martial artists nowadays so vicious?

  I just wanted him to apologize, but he tried to kill me?

  He picked up the rocket launcher.

  The rocket inside had been installed.

  Andrew put the rocket launcher on his shoulder and aimed at the brawny martial artist. He deliberately raised it a little higher and said coldly, “The cause and effect are mutual. You wanted to kill me, but you ended up in this situation. You deserve everything.”

  “No!

  “Don’t kill me. I’ll give you all the money… and my composite metal weapon!”

  The brawny man stared at Andrew and begged bitterly.

  From his angle, he could see that the black muzzle of the rocket launcher was aimed at his head.

  No matter what, he was still a third-grade martial artist. He dragged his injured body and moved backward while begging bitterly, “Spare me, please spare me…”

  His plea was transmitted to the other brothers through the earpiece.

  There was a moment of silence in the earpiece, followed by a cold voice, “Sir, I am the captain of the Gale Fighter Squad, Liebert. Please show mercy… Otherwise, our Gale Fighter Squad will not let you off easily.”

  “It seems that your brothers don’t want you to live at all.”

  Andrew’s eyes moved, but then he recovered his smile.

  “Why do you have to threaten me? If you had asked nicely, I might have let him off.”

  Andrew lowered the muzzle of the rocket launcher a little.

  “However, I’m not a cold-blooded and heartless person like you.

  “Since you almost hit me with a rocket, I’ll let you experience the same.”

  Andrew aimed at his side and slowly pulled the trigger.

  That burly warrior’s eyes were about to bulge out of the sockets. He shouted in despair, “Your aim, your aim is off!”

  Didn’t you say you wanted me to experience this feeling of being scared?

  I clearly felt it, but why is the rocket launcher still pointing at me!

  “Off?”

  Andrew subconsciously moved the rocket launcher.

  Xiu!

  Rumble!

  A rocket instantly flew out, and a scorching wave of air spread in the surroundings.

  “Ding!”

  “Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the third grade. Reward: +100 strengthening points.”

  Andrew: “…”

  He was stunned for a moment and said somewhat angrily, “F*ck, I clearly aimed accurately, yet you insisted that I missed!”

  But if he died from the explosion, so be it.

  He was not a saint.

  Anyway, this person wanted to kill him. Since he had this idea, he should be prepared for getting killed in return.

  “Very good, you’re finished!”

  A voice filled with incomparable hatred and killing intent came from the earpiece.

  Andrew looked at the earpiece on the ground.

  In this day and age, there was still such a good quality earpiece? He stepped forward and crushed it.

  Before he could tidy up the scene on the ground, he heard hurried footsteps.

  Soon, two figures appeared in his field of vision.

  Andrew put down the rocket launcher.

  At such a long distance, the rocket launcher was not a threat to them at all.

  He untied the white cloth on his blade and mobilized his Qi.

  Buzz, buzz!

  The blade started to tremble.

  Andrew wasn’t stupid either. The others had already found him, so he couldn’t hide even if he wanted to. Only by taking care of all these people here could he be at ease while searching for demon beasts in the wilderness.

  The two figures suddenly accelerated!

  One of them held a composite metal saber in his hand, and his aura was fierce. He was at the middle stage of the fourth-grade realm. As he ran, his Blood Qi was released, as if he was wearing a light red blood robe.

  The other person’s Qi was slightly weaker. He was probably at the early stage of the fourth-grade. His strength was about the same as Black Wolf.

  His weapon was a long stick.

  The distance between them and Andrew was less than a hundred meters, and they could reach it in three or four seconds.

  As Andrew raised his blade with one hand, h
is aura surged. Faint electric arcs were flashing on the composite metal battle blade. Just as he was about to engage the duo, his heart suddenly sank.

  “Something’s wrong!”

  At first, he had heard three different voices from the earpiece.

  In other words, there should be four people in the Gale Fighter Squad!

  And one person… was hiding in a place he didn’t notice!

  An extremely dangerous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. Relying on the vigilance of the fighters, Andrew raised the blade in his hand horizontally in the next moment.

  Bang!

  A bullet hit the battle saber.

  The violent impact caused his arms to go numb, and he couldn’t help but take two steps back.

  Seeing this, the two martial artists hurriedly followed up. Taking advantage of Andrew’s restricted movements, they wanted to kill him in one go.

  “If this continues, I might die!”

  Andrew frowned. He hadn’t found the hidden sniper.

  If he wanted to make a move, he had to be careful of the bullets in the dark.

  “Die!”

  Just as he was distracted, an angry shout came from the side.

  The captain of the Gale Fighter Squad, Liebert, jumped up. He wanted nothing more than slashing Andrew with his saber.

  “Whoosh!”

  A bullet came again!

  “Go to hell!”

  Andrew frowned and slashed out with his blade.

  Rumble!

  Lightning exploded.

  A 20-meter-long bolt of lightning instantly burst out!

  Ding!

  The specially-made composite metal bullet was directly cut open by the Lightning Blade Qi. However, the saber and long staff were about to land on Andrew’s body…

  Puchi!

  The air exploded.

  A 10-meter-long crack appeared on the ground.

  A wave of smoke spread out from the point of the explosion.

  “He should be dead,” said the third brother with the long staff.

  The trio’s coordination could be said to be flawless. Even if they were to face a fifth-grade martial artist, they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
