In fact, Wang Xiaoqiang could have easily used sixty red flying swords to fight against those hundreds of criminals, but he thought it was unnecessary.

Indeed, the heads of criminals represent the tournament's score, but having already acquired over four hundred heads, it was impossible for him to be eliminated from the competition. So, there was no need to waste the precious disposable magic treasure for the score.

He chose to give up.

After hiding in the cave, Wang Xiaoqiang released his willpower constraints on the Patterned Beast and two Fierce Ghosts, operated the cultivation technique, and used Wood Element Spiritual Qi to heal his injuries. He quietly waited for nightfall.

The Patterned Beast and two Fierce Ghosts, having lost contact with Wang Xiaoqiang's willpower, couldn't find him and flew aimlessly away.

Hundreds of criminals tightly followed, chasing all afternoon, extremely fatigued, all irritable, and until dusk, still couldn't find any trace of Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Everyone, why not stop the chase? That kid probably doesn't dare to come out..."

"Yeah, it's almost dark, and chasing at night would be suicidal..."

"Let's keep going for a bit. I think that kid is also waiting for the dark, expecting us to give up the chase after nightfall, and then naturally summon his Pet Beast and Puppet to his side..." An old criminal, appearing over two hundred years old, stroked his beard and said, eyes gleaming with shrewdness.

Hearing this suggestion, although some were reluctant, they didn't object, and all followed the Patterned Beast and two Fierce Ghosts with drooped heads for another stretch.

At this time, as night fell, streams of Yin Fiend Aura emanated from underground in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range, appearing ghostly white, exuding a chilling intent, and spreading out...

Subsequently, a sinister wind arose, and howls gradually started. The howling sounded neither beast nor ghost, clearly the unique howl of Beast Corpses, and another slightly deep howl with a bit of hoarseness, like a human voice yet resembling ghost wails, was the sound of zombies.

The howling of Beast Corpses and the calls of zombies rose and fell, growing thicker with the night, like the sound of waves.

The sound was terrifying!

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang moved his willpower, summoning the Patterned Beast and two Fierce Ghosts.

The Patterned Beast, Ge Laoda, and Little Yin, upon receiving the summons, suddenly changed direction, speeding towards Wang Xiaoqiang's hiding place.

The group of criminals, seeing this, grew suspicious and immediately followed.

In the chase and pursuit, both sides felt a strong aura locking onto them from below, making their movements sluggish, and even terrifying blue lights like flickering flames shot into the sky, chilling on impact.

After about half a stick of incense's time, they arrived at the entrance of Wang Xiaoqiang's hiding cave. They formed a ring around the entrance, only to find when they released their Divine Sense to probe the cave that there was no powerful cultivator present. Only an ordinary person.

This ordinary person was Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected these criminals to be so persistent, chasing him all the way here,

However, situations change. During the day, he might have had concerns; now it was night, the time for frequent appearances of zombies and Beast Corpses, which didn't recognize people. If these criminals wanted to chase him, they needed to reconsider...

When Wang Xiaoqiang walked to the cave entrance and saw it was surrounded by hundreds of criminals, he coldly smiled.

Those criminals, seeing the person emerging was the one they wanted to kill, but now appearing as a mere mortal, showed strange and suspicious expressions on their faces, staring intently at Wang Xiaoqiang. Immortal Feng probed, "Kid, what kind of trick are you playing in the cave? Could it be you've abolished your cultivation?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, "Indeed, I am now a mere mortal, devoid of any cultivation. Come and kill me..."

No one dared to move. If Wang Xiaoqiang still had his original cultivation base of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, the criminals would have already attacked. But now, with Wang Xiaoqiang turning into a mere mortal, staying calm within their encirclement was too unusual.

Talking about abolishing his cultivation... that's utter nonsense!

No one is foolish enough to willingly abolish their cultivation, especially within the perilous Beast Corpse Mountain Range. During a chase, abolishing one's cultivation was worse than ending one's life!

There's always a reason for unusual occurrences?

The group of criminals didn't dare act rashly, glancing guardedly and suspiciously at Wang Xiaoqiang, as if examining a monster.

Wang Xiaoqiang lifted his gaze and saw six blue lights approaching. Neither fast nor slow, those lights resembled flickering flames, carrying a hint of eeriness. Wang Xiaoqiang guessed they were zombies.

He had seen Beast Corpses before; the bodies of Beast Corpses didn't possess blue light. Judging from the movement of those six blue lights, he deduced they were the eyes of zombies.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaoqiang decided to wait it out. He was well aware that both Beast Corpses and zombies relied on sensing Spiritual Energy Waves to locate their targets, similar to cultivators' Divine Sense, where the stronger the spiritual wave, the easier they were detected.

By nature, Wang Xiaoqiang believed they preferred hunting strong ones because the mightier the cultivator they devoured, the more it could boost their cultivation base.

So, waiting it out, when those zombies arrived, they would surely eliminate these criminals, allowing him to effortlessly seize the criminals' heads.

"Zombies are coming. What should we do?" The criminals also noticed the blue lights approaching and immediately panicked.

"Damn it, three zombies, and they're not weak..."

"If we don't flee now, getting entangled with those three zombies would make it hard to escape."

The criminals exchanged glances. Previously, they had followed the red-haired criminal, the son of the King of Kunshan. Now, after his death, this band of criminals had no leader, no anchor, panicking at the onset of a life crisis.

At this moment, Immortal Feng shouted, "What's there to fear? We have more than four hundred people; are we scared of three zombies? Let's deal with this kid first. Everyone, follow my lead, attack together!"

As Immortal Feng spoke, he started counting, "One, two, three... attack!"

Boom!!

This group of criminals clearly lacked unity. Out of over four hundred, only a little over a hundred followed Immortal Feng's lead, charging at Wang Xiaoqiang.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang absorbed all the Spiritual Spring outside his body into himself, causing a surge in Spiritual Power, instantly becoming the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm. Simultaneously, he took out six red flying swords and hurled them at the attacking criminals.

The six flying swords burst into flames, trailing fiery tails, flying in a fan shape. As they approached the criminals, they exploded.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The six flying swords exploded almost simultaneously, detonating amidst the rushing criminals, causing wails and screams, limbs torn apart, and blood flying. Over half of more than a hundred criminals lost their lives, and the few with strong cultivation were severely injured and retreated.

The sound and light from the flying swords' explosions attracted the six zombies, hastening their movement, and also drew in other zombies and Beast Corpses around...

In that instant, howls rose, as chaotic as tide, making one's scalp tingle... (To be continued.
