Chapter 1082: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, While the Oriole Waits Behind

Proper sparring can still improve one’s cultivation.

Gu Jin had no reason to stop her disciples from joining the fight.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Shuo and the others immediately rushed out.

The ones who had come to besiege them were here for Xuanji Sect; they kept closing in on this direction.

With Allen and the others protecting them, no one could get close to Gu Jin and An Mingji.

If anyone could spare the attention to notice, they’d see that in this slaughter there were two extreme scenes, eerily out of place.

Within the circle formed by Allen and his men, Gu Jin and An Mingji were sitting with casual posture.

They listened to the killing and screams outside the circle like they were sitting in a concert hall listening to music, cleansing their ears.

The two of them sat firmly in their seats; no one could hurt them in the slightest.

As for outside the protective circle, some were being brutally killed and falling to the ground, some were missing arms and legs and crying in pain, and others were fighting hard just to stay alive.

But most people had already fled.

They were able to escape so smoothly only because they weren’t the main targets of the attackers.

The men Allen had brought all had formidable skills; each one of them was a Dark Ability User, and the greatest trait of this ability was devouring.

Anyone who approached these superpower users would be instantly swallowed by dense black fog.

This made the besieging crowd turn pale with fright, no longer daring to rush forward recklessly.

In any standoff, there are always pawns sent up as cannon fodder; as one after another stepped forward to die, Golden Core Stage Cultivators from Luocha Sect finally showed themselves.

They clashed with Allen and his people, and the strength of both sides was evenly matched.

Gu Jin took out her phone and glanced at the time.

It was already two in the afternoon.

She asked the man beside her, "When will it end?"

An Mingji gave her a smile. "Soon."

His voice was slow and low, with an indescribable oddness in his tone, as if there was a hint of danger in it.

As the saying goes, when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole waits behind.

Back when Yin Yue Sect and the mastermind had encircled the Hidden Market, An Mingji had already taken control of the entire place.

Before he came, he had already coordinated with Wanqi Yihai.

The moment the Cultivator Conference began, everyone in the Hidden Market had been evacuated.

Today was the day the Hidden Market would be destroyed.

Granted, Yin Yue Sect and Luocha Sect had many cultivators here, and each one had remarkable skills.

But they were, in the end, made of flesh and blood; faced with weapons of immense destructive power, they were just as helpless.

For hundreds of years, the Darwin Family had always dealt with weapons; you could say no one understood their lethality better than this family.

All the weapons around the world were nowhere near as advanced as those of this family.

Earlier, An Mingji had already told Gu Jin about all the arrangements.

His way of solving problems was very simple—brutal and ruthless.

Bomb the Hidden Market.

Or, to be precise, bomb Yin Yue Sect and Luocha Sect inside the Hidden Market.

Evacuating the other people in the Hidden Market was to prevent collateral loss of life.

There weren’t many innocent folks among those living in the Hidden Market, but no matter what crimes they might have committed, a life was still a life.

An Mingji had already coordinated with Wanqi Yihai to evacuate the people in advance; this showed that, ruthless as his methods were, he still retained human conscience.

Allen was locked in battle when the phone at his waist suddenly vibrated.

He quickly finished off his opponent, then turned and walked over to stand before Gu Jin and An Mingji.

"Family Head, everything is ready. Do we pull out now?"

An Mingji looked at Gu Jin. "A Jin?"

"Let’s go." Gu Jin found it quite boring.

Before this, Yin Yue Sect and Luocha Sect had made her hold high expectations.

After actually crossing hands with them, she felt a bit disappointed inside.

Or rather, utterly disappointed.
