My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chasing all the way to the Shadow Faction!

When Jian Ruxue, who was standing to the side, heard these words, she felt her world spin.

Gang Reyong had killed a First-stage Martial Artist with a single bullet, effortlessly.

But he was still dissatisfied, having missed the other four.

If anyone in the martial world heard this, they would cough up blood from sheer shock.

To kill a First-stage Martial Artist so easily was already a terrifying feat, one that most wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Even those stronger than them knew that killing a First-stage Martial Artist was no small matter, especially considering the immense vitality they possessed.

With the fusion of their Will and body, their very flesh had become a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.

There were very few weapons that could even harm a First-stage Martial Artist.

And as you can see, even Gang Reyong’s weapon couldn’t kill him, it was the Death Energy that did the trick.

"Child, you are truly extraordinary," she commented as she stepped forward.

"Shall we launch an attack now?"

"No," Gang Reyong shook his head. "We stay in this cave."

"But wouldn’t they escape and bring reinforcements?"

"Then we escape," Gang Reyong replied coldly.

"..." Jian Ruxue paused for a moment, contemplating his words, her ears twitching slightly. "Then wouldn’t it have been better to wait for them to enter the cave, so we could’ve killed them all in one swift blow?"

"Wait for it."

Gang Reyong replied, "There’s a saying, curiosity killed the cat. And the old aren’t always the wisest. If they come for us, consider them dead. If they escape, then let them escape."

Truthfully, Gang Reyong could have waited for them to enter the cave. But that wasn’t his style. Besides, they might not even enter and instead grow more cautious.

The human heart was unpredictable, and he couldn’t begin to guess the mentality of those old men. All he could do was hope for the best, and achieve the best he could.

"Alright, child," Jian Ruxue replied with a chuckle, shaking her head.

’He’s still a child after all... he still doesn’t know how the world works.’

Gang Reyong glanced at her but said nothing.

To Jian Ruxue’s surprise, however, the group of four old men returned to the scene once more.

They stood over the fallen body of the Fourth Elder.

"They’re not willing to leave," Gang Reyong muttered.

The old men whispered among themselves quietly, their eyes glancing toward the cave entrance with wary caution.

"Let’s carry the Fourth Elder back. It would be humiliating if we couldn’t even retrieve his corpse."

"Do you sense the Death Energy?"

"Huh? Death Energy?"

One of the elders crouched down and closed his eyes, carefully sensing the lingering energy. Almost immediately, his body shivered in fright.

"You’re right... there’s a faint trace of it in the scratch left by that black light."

"So that’s what killed him..."

The three others murmured, horror flickering in their eyes.

Although their entire faction’s goal was to tame Death Energy, they had no real way of protecting themselves from it.

They weren’t scientists, and their technology was crude at best. All they could rely on was the cruelty they inflicted in an attempt to control it. But clearly, that hadn’t gone very well.

"Let’s retreat for now."

One of the elders quickly lifted the body of the Fourth Elder and turned to leave.

But just then, footsteps echoed from the cave entrance, sending a wave of alarm through their hearts as they turned warily toward the sound.

Slowly, a woman emerged, shrouded in an eerie darkness.

Her long white hair flowed like drifting snow, and her pale skin was as cold and pure as ice.
