Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Chapter 298 - 136: The Death of Kun and Warfare

Sponsored

Hui Kun was found by one of Xu Lei’s mortal subordinates.

Over the years, Xu Lei had naturally spent some money to establish a few businesses and employ some mortals.

He tasked them with searching for any trace of Hui Kun in various locations.

People in business have subordinates from all walks of life, who can reach deep into every alley and mountain village.

They were the best for finding someone.

As for the actual discovery...

It was a young mortal from a farming family, who worked for a merchant’s guild in the city.

While on leave back in his home village, he went hunting in the mountains with his father, who was a hunter, just as he had in his childhood.

Suddenly, he saw Hui Kun washing his face by the river.

The young man recognized him; this was the person the Shopkeeper had told them to look for.

So he immediately sent a message to inform the Shopkeeper.

The Shopkeeper confirmed the information and notified Xu Lei.

「Half a month later.」

Xu Lei and Zhao Xin arrived at the mountain range near the young man’s village.

They watched the area for more than ten days.

They discovered that Hui Kun was hiding in a cave in these mountains, practicing his Cultivation.

A sinister, evil Qi had gathered around the cave, making them wonder if the man was practicing an Evil Technique.

Since he had stayed inside his cave the whole time, Xu Lei and Zhao Xin hadn’t known his precise location.

When the young man first discovered Hui Kun, he hadn’t made any rash moves.

He only knew that Hui Kun had disappeared into this area, and he’d heard from other villagers that Hui Kun had been seen in these woods before. It wasn’t his first appearance here.

That was why Xu Lei and Zhao Xin had come to lie in wait.

However, they were unable to determine his exact location.

Until today. Hui Kun finally emerged from the cave, perhaps intending to go into town to purchase some necessities.

And that was how Xu Lei spotted him.

However, before Xu Lei and Zhao Xin could set up an Array to ambush Hui Kun, he keenly sensed that they were spying on him from the shadows.

"It’s you two?"

Hui Kun said, "What a coincidence.

To think we’d meet here.

Is this a coincidence?

Or did you track me down?

What are you planning to do?

You can’t possibly be thinking of killing me, can you?

Jin Xin, your Cultivation must be much stronger than it was back then!

But are you sure you want to waste your Magical Power just to kill me?

Are you willing to deplete your potential and slow your progress on the path to the Dao?

And as for you, Hui Chi, you think you can kill me? You can’t!

Not unless you want to take me down with you!

If you two team up? You could probably kill me!

But if you do, one of you will exhaust her Magical Power and damage her potential!

The other will suffer a great blow to his Dao Practice and have his lifespan drastically shortened! Even if you kill me, you won’t have long to live afterward.

So what if you’ve found me?

I’ve already noticed you!

You can’t ambush me!

That means it’s useless!

Do you dare to force the issue and kill me?

You don’t dare!"

He sounded utterly disdainful by the end of his speech.

Indeed, the only thing he feared was being ambushed.

That was why he had avoided staying in any monastery.

After all, that would put him out in the open.

He would be vulnerable to a sneak attack by Xu Lei and Zhao Xin!

They could, for instance, set up the Trapped Dragon Heaven-Strangling Array to trap and kill him!

But as long as he hid in the shadows, he had nothing to fear.

Thus, he felt that it didn’t matter even if they had found him now.

All he had to do was make a leisurely retreat.

And go back into hiding.

He just had to make sure he never gave Xu Lei and Zhao Xin another chance to launch a sneak attack or ambush.

He could lie low and grow stronger, and once he was powerful enough, he could come back to deal with Xu Lei and Zhao Xin.

"You’re pretty arrogant, aren’t you?"

Xu Lei laughed. "Still, Hui Kun, you’re dead today!"

As he spoke, Xu Lei threw several Explosive Packages directly at Hui Kun.

Soon, a series of thunderous explosions rang out. BOOM! RUMBLE!

"You’re really willing to fight to the bitter end?"

Hui Kun’s face was a mask of disbelief as he defended against the blast waves.

He never imagined Xu Lei would be reckless enough to go all-out against him!

This was because Xu Lei had wrapped the Explosive Packages in a small amount of Magical Power as he threw them.

This was to ensure the Explosive Packages could hit their target.

As a result, Hui Kun had no idea that Xu Lei wasn’t using some kind of Buddhist Secret Technique.

He thought they were clashing with Magical Power.

But Xu Lei couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Hui Kun.

The fact that Hui Kun hadn’t turned to flee yet made things even easier.

There was no need to ride the Locust Leaf Flying Ship and expend Magical Power to chase him down.

Of course, after being bombarded for a while, Hui Kun was completely bewildered.

His Magical Power was already weakening.

It was like a person’s physical stamina.

After a period of intense exertion,

it began to falter.

But Xu Lei was still going strong.

After all, Xu Lei barely had to use any of his own Magical Power.

While he did have to use some Magical Power to control the trajectory of the Explosive Packages when fighting a Cultivator of a similar Realm,

the cost was far, far less than using a Dharma Gate to unleash a major attack.

That was why Xu Lei’s assault remained so powerful.

He continued to toss a couple of packages over at a steady rhythm.

"Impossible! Your Realm is clearly about the same as mine, so how can you be so relentless!"

Finally, Hui Kun began to question his very existence.

He roared in disbelief.

Then, black Qi began to emanate from his body.

His Dharma Gate attacks then became significantly more ferocious.

’So he really has been practicing an Evil Technique all these years.’

But even so, it wasn’t much use.

If Xu Lei didn’t have his Explosive Packages, he might have been at a disadvantage against Hui Kun’s Evil Technique.

But now? It made no difference!

It was just a matter of tossing a few more Explosive Packages.

"Impossible! What kind of Dharma Gate is this!?"

Hui Kun was stunned once more. "This isn’t an Evil Technique or a Demon Skill, so how can it be this powerful?"

But Xu Lei didn’t answer him at all.

He just mercilessly continued to throw Explosive Packages.

Hui Kun finally turned to flee.
