Purgatory On Earth

Perhaps it had sensed something, the red-maned fierce horse ran quickly and took Nan Shan to the place of the fire!

Before they even got close, they could already hear countless cries of battle, and the thick smell of blood almost permeated the air a few hundred meters away.

Nan Shan’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his pupils reflected the burning flames.

Immortal cultivators should not involve themselves too much in the affairs of the mortal world. Every choice today might cause them to bear the karma of tomorrow.

In other people’s eyes, this time, Nan Shan had saved them out of anger. However, there was a destiny that once Nan Shan killed the thief, karma would still be on his head.

With just a little more restraint, in the end, as one’s cultivation gradually increased, the inner demon would also take root and sprout unknowingly.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, no one could tell.

Just as he arrived near the village in the mountain, Nan Shan’s pupils suddenly shrank.

All of his worries and hesitation had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the growing anger in his heart!

A brawny horse gangster, holding a wide-bladed and thick-backed saber, was dragging a girl by her hair into the short forest.

At the same time, he had already undid most of his belt.

The red-maned fierce horse snorted, and the unusual movement attracted the attention of the horse gang.

“I didn’t expect there to be a fish that has been caught. Come over here obediently. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll spare your life.”

The horse gangster shouted arrogantly, and at the same time, he threw the girl in his hand away.

No one knew what kind of tribulations the girl had experienced. At this moment, she was lying on the ground, her long hair like a waterfall hanging down. Her whole body was trembling, and she did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The small mountain village nearby was gradually burning down. The entrance of the village not far away was crowded, but most of the horse gangsters were also blocking the way.

As if they were picking goods, they would pick out the young women that caught their eyes and imprison them on the side, while those who were old and frail would be mercilessly pushed back to the fire.

The continuous screams and the crackling sounds of the fire intertwined and drilled into Nan Shan’s ears.

He could clearly feel that there seemed to be some kind of emotion that he had never felt before surging continuously in his chest. The spiritual energy that had been flowing in his meridians for a long time had also slowly begun to become violent.

This feeling was as if there was a breath stuck in his throat, and if he did not shout it out, he would not feel good!

“Why is it a male?” At this time, the horse gangster saw Nan Shan’s appearance by the light of the fire. In an instant, the wanton and arrogant look was restrained, and the eyes became more fierce.

Before Nan Shan could calm down, he saw the horse gangster slash at him without a word.

The heavy long knife made a sound of wind as it was aimed at Nan Shan’s face. Looking at the ruthlessness of the attack, it was obvious that he wanted to kill Nan Shan in one blow!

In the eyes of others, this fierce and swift technique seemed to be playing in slow motion in Nan Shan’s eyes.

He could even clearly see every point of force exerted by the horse gangster’s arm, as well as the bloodshot eyes filled with excitement and madness.

“What a bunch of trash.” Nan Shan sighed with disdain.

Just when the horse gangster thought that his close-range sneak attack would definitely succeed, an extremely thin but extremely bright cold light flashed in front of his eyes!

It was also the last scene he would see in his life.

With a “Gu Dong” sound, the head of the horse gangster fell to the ground. The horse gangsters leader’s face was still full of disbelief even before he died.

The warm blood splattered all over the ground. The thick smell of blood condensed and drilled into Nan Shan’s nose.

He stepped over the dead body of the horse gang expressionlessly and walked to the girl who was still curled up on the ground.

Perhaps she was shocked and scared, but the girl had already fainted.

Nan Shan stretched out his long arm and carried the girl on his shoulder. He walked towards the village step by step.

The red-maned horse seemed to understand human nature and followed Nan Shan’s footsteps.

The Devouring sword was in his hand, and the unsheathed blade was dragged on the ground, making an ear-piercing sound.

After turning into a forest, the village, which was deep in the sea of fire, finally appeared in front of Nan Shan.

This place was deep in the wilderness, and life was not very convenient. The scale of the village was naturally not large.

At this moment, the fire was raging and had engulfed more than half of the village. However, one could still see that the interior of the building was quite exquisite and ingenious. It even felt out of place with the surrounding environment.

However, no matter how quiet and peaceful the village used to be, it had now become a living hell.

“Who’s there!” Suddenly, a loud shout exploded in Nan Shan’s ears.

One could faintly hear that this angry shout contained a power that could shock people.

It did not look like a spell cast by a cultivator, but more like the person who shouted had a strong prestige, an aura that only someone in a high position could have.

Nan Shan turned around and saw the shadow of a horse and a tall man riding on it in the fire.

His clothes were very different from the other horse gangsters. Not only was he wearing a large cloak, but he also had a close-fitting chain armor for defense.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission to eliminate the sect’s traitors scattered outside.]

[Chen Qiang.]

[Age: 45 years old]

[Stage: foundation building stage (pseudo)]

[Strength: physical style henglian cultivation method, long and strong breath, belonging to the firm and fierce force.]

[Weakness: Too brittle and easily broken. It doesn’t have enough strength. If it’s destroyed by force, it will definitely be killed in one blow.]

A system notification suddenly appeared in Nan Shan’s mind. However, this time it was not an investment, but a so-called hidden mission.

‘It seems that the leader of the horse gang in front of us is Chen Qiang. However, the so-called sect traitor label is a little interesting.’

“Obviously, there are very few immortal cultivators in the secular world, but this horse gang leader, with his foundation establishment cultivation, did such a thing like rape and plunder. He really should be killed.”

For some reason, the strange throbbing in his chest became more and more intense.

The person in front of him had already been determined by the system to be a target that should be killed. Looking at the sins around him, Nan Shan felt that there was no need for him to be patient.

It was a waste of time to even talk to them!

“Hahaha, quickly look! This brat who hasn’t even grown his hair yet wants to play the hero saving the beauty, he really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!

“Don’t fight with me. Killing hose little girls in the village is no fun. Leave this for me to play with.”

Those horse bandits, whose eyes were red from killing, laughed arrogantly and looked at Nan Shan with contempt and disdain.

It seemed that if it was not for the horse gang leader’s gesture to stop them, Nan Shan would have been attacked by the crowd.

“Where are you from? Where to? If we’ve met by chance and there’s no enmity between us, then please leave.”

The leader of the horse gang stared at Nan Shan for a long time, and said these words politely.

“You and I have indeed met by chance, and there is no enmity between us.” Nan Shan stood in front of the horse and muttered to himself.
