"Sha… sha… sha!"
The footsteps became clearer and clearer until they stopped under the courtyard wall and disappeared. Then, they were replaced by a rustling sound.
Chen An knew that the intruders outside the courtyard were about to climb over the wall and enter.
He immediately hid himself in the dark.
He became an old schemer.
Ready to attack the invaders with his 'Goldfinger' at any time.
After secretly observing for a while.
Soon, six sneaky figures appeared on the wall.
Five men and one woman.
Among them, there were two familiar faces. They were a neighborhood couple that he had greeted in the past.
They usually looked quite kind.
Unexpectedly, one could never judge a book by its cover.
At this moment, the six people who had invaded were carefully standing on the wall of the courtyard and observing the room.
Seeing that it was dark inside, they thought that Chen An should have fallen asleep, so they gently jumped down from the wall and quietly snuck into the courtyard.
"Ah… Ah… Ah!"
Suddenly, several painful screams sounded. It was especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.
The six of them had stepped into a trap.
They were either injured or pierced through the soles of their feet. Waves of intense pain were coming from them, making them cry out in pain.
"Quick, rush into the house and kill him!"
Knowing that they had been exposed, the male Cultivator in the lead immediately made this decision. He had to quickly get rid of Chen An to prevent any changes from happening.
When the others heard this, they endured the pain and gripped their weapons tightly as they rushed towards the house in front.
However, they had only taken a few steps when they suddenly felt their bones go soft. It was difficult for them to take a step, and they could not even stand steadily.
"Oh no, I've been poisoned!"
"Take the antidote!"
The male Cultivator in the lead shouted a reminder.
When the other five heard this, they all took out a small purple pill from their pockets and opened their mouths to eat it to detoxify themselves.
Unfortunately, Chen An who was hiding in the dark and accumulating strength wouldn't give them the chance at all.
Just as the male Cultivator in the lead shouted, he immediately erupted with spiritual qi and rushed out.
With a 'Goldfinger', it flashed past the group of invaders at lightning speed.
"Pfft… Pfft… Pfft!"
With a few consecutive sounds, a bloody hole appeared on the foreheads of the three male Cultivators in the middle.
Before they could react, they felt a warm current surge from their foreheads. In the next moment, their bodies fell back weakly and they fell to the ground with a thud, completely losing their lives.
"Pfft!"
Another muffled sound rang out.
The male Cultivator at the back followed in the footsteps of his three companions. His body quickly fell to the ground, deader than dead.
In just the blink of an eye.
Of the six Cultivators who had invaded in the middle of the night, only two were left.
Only the male Cultivator in the lead and the female Cultivator who had been following him remained.
Buzz!
A series of air-piercing sounds rang out.
Chen An did not stop at all. After killing four people in a row, he immediately rushed to the male Cultivator in the lead and raised his golden index finger to poke his head.
The male Cultivator reacted very quickly and instinctively raised his hand to protect his head.
"Pfft!"
There was a sound.
There was a bloody hole in the back of the male Cultivator's hand. Blood kept oozing out, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
Enduring the intense pain, he used all the remaining strength in his body and suddenly swung his other arm, slashing at Chen An's neck in the form of a hand blade.
At the same time, he shouted, "Die!!!"
Although the male Cultivator in the lead had used all his strength, the poison had already acted up, and his strength was less than 10% of his original strength, causing this hand saber to look weak.
Chen An casually turned sideways and easily dodged his hand blade. Then, he turned around and stabbed him in the head with his 'Goldfinger'.
"Pfft!"
The familiar dull sound rang out again.
A bloody hole appeared on the male Cultivator's head. Then, his body fell to the ground, deader than dead.
It was just that he died without knowing his cause of death.
Chen An glanced at the male Cultivator's corpse and quickly ignored him. He turned to look at the female Cultivator beside him.
Her face was above average, but her figure was very sexy and hot. She was one level higher than his wife, and her entire body was filled with the charm of a mature woman.
This was the companion of the male Cultivator who had just died.
His cultivation level was not high. He was only at the First Level of Qi Refinement.
There was still the feces and urine of mortals.
Chen An often saw her coming out of the house to pee. Sometimes, when they met, he would greet her. He had a deep impression of her sexy and alluring body.
"Please don't kill me. I have a good life. I can do anything. I can do anything for you!"
Seeing that Chen An had been staring at her body, the female Cultivator knew that she still had a chance of survival. She immediately sensibly lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of snow-white and well-rounded long legs, and begged for mercy with a humble expression.
She tried to use her beauty to tempt Chen An so that she could save her life.
Chen An sized up the female Cultivator's legs and calmly said, "I don't kill women. You can leave."
The female Cultivator was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
After he recovered from her shock for a moment, she said, "Thank you for sparing my life, Fellow Cultivator Chen." After that, she immediately turned around and left while trembling, as she was deeply afraid that Chen An would go back on his word.
"Pfft!"
Before the female Cultivator could take two steps, she heard a muffled sound behind her.
Then, she felt a warm current surge out from the back of her head. In the next moment, her body fell to the ground weakly and she completely stopped moving.
The back of her head was pierced by Chen An's finger.
"A woman's heart is indeed the most poisonous."
Chen An stretched out his leg and lifted the female Cultivator's right hand. He looked at the incomparably sharp silver hairpin hidden inside and felt amused.
Then, he subconsciously sized up the female Cultivator's graceful body and found that her figure was really tempting. He felt that it would be a pity if she died.
However, he knew very well that lust was a knife in the head. The more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she was.
As long as he was an enemy, she would find a way to kill him.
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
"My palms are sweating, and my legs are a little weak…"
As the adrenaline subsided, Chen An looked at the corpses all over the ground in front of him and gradually felt a little uncomfortable.
In the thirty-odd years since he transmigrated, he had always been kind to others and never picked a fight. He was never related to the word 'killing'.
Today was his first time killing someone.
And he had killed six of them in a row.
If not for the fact that he had seen too many tragic scenes over the years, he would have vomited long ago.
"Phew—"
Chen An took a deep breath and endured his discomfort. He squatted down and searched the corpse to see if he could find any spoils of war.
After searching and counting, his gains were as follows:
7 low-grade spirit stones.
Five low-grade Tier 1 medicinal pills.
6 ordinary iron weapons.
"So poor."
Chen An shook his head in disappointment.
Immediately after, he dragged all the corpses on the ground to a corner of the courtyard and dug a hole to bury them.
He had originally wanted to drag it out and find a deserted place to discard the bodies.
But on second thought, what if there were enemies outside the house?
To be safe, it was better not to go out.
