Chapter 4124: Self-Detonation

efore Ginger Cloud could recover, the shop door was already open. This made Ginger Cloud a little surprised, feeling as if Summer Zhongxing had been waiting at the shop door all along!Xia Zhongxing's...At this moment, most cultivators' faces showed a hint of unease.

Because this hunting mission was clearly different from all previous ones.

Previously, hunting down a criminal only earned one hundred military merits. However, this time the reward amount is ten times that.

Keep in mind, although everything in Heaven and Earth is related to military merit, it doesn't mean that military merit is easy to obtain.

No matter what task it is, if the amount of military merit gained can be proportional to your efforts, it's already quite remarkable.

Therefore, the number of rewards for military merit was ten times that of before, meaning that the difficulty of this hunting mission had also increased tenfold! Moreover, each guard participating in the hunt was restricted to a cultivation level lower than that of a prisoner, which was unprecedented.

This made many guards' hearts tremble, and they secretly wished to withdraw from this hunt.

But once you withdraw, the thousand military merits you registered for can't be retrieved.

Therefore, everyone was hesitant.

However, some guards remained remarkably calm.

For example, Ginger Cloud! Breaking the Law at the Fourth Level is just the realm he pretended to be now. Even if his cultivation was truly sealed, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest.

Unless among the criminals there is a powerful being who can transcend ten realms of cultivation, no one else can threaten him.

At that moment, President Fang waved his hand, and streaks of light instantly descended upon the hands of Ginger Cloud and the other guards.

That was a medicinal pill.

President Fang said coldly: "Swallow the pill and leave immediately!"

Looking at the pill in his hand, Jiang Yun recalled what Mu Zhengjun had told him. Heavenly Outside Heaven restricted the cultivation of criminals through pills.

Unbeknownst to me, even the guards now have to take these pills.

Ginger Yun picked up the pill, silently observed it for a moment, calculated the approximate medicinal herbs inside, and then put it in his mouth.

Although he couldn't be sure, besides restricting cultivation, the elixir might have other effects. However, with his current physical body and status as an alchemist, he wasn't afraid of any elixir.

The medicinal pill dissolved in his mouth, transforming into countless specks of light that surged directly towards Jiang Yun's acupoint.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Yun's heart stirred.

The light dots landed on the acupoint, like nails hammered into the gate.

President Fang watched as everyone swallowed the pills one after another, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go!"

At the command of President Fang, a hundred guards, including Ginger Cloud, immediately marched towards a teleportation array set up outside the Armory Hall.

The specific location of the hunt is unknown to anyone, but it's generally a strange and unfamiliar world.

Once inside, everyone will be randomly dispersed. You'll each fend for yourselves, hunting down criminals or becoming a target yourself.

Just as Jiang Yun stepped into the teleportation array, a voice suddenly echoed in his ear from Liu Meng. "Brother Fan, I have a bad feeling about this hunt,"

But I can't really say what's wrong, just be more careful!

"Don't just think about military merit, first protect your own life!"

Although Ginger Cloud didn't show any expression on her face, she took Liu Meng's reminder to heart.

Whether it's for the Heavenly Layer or this hunt, Jiang Yun understands very little.

Since Liu Meng was confident in taking Jiang Yun to other prisons, it means he must know quite a bit.

Since even he felt something was off about this hunt, there must be something wrong with it.

However, Jiang Yun didn't really mind too much.

With one's own abilities, even if something goes wrong, it should still be fine to save one's life.

If all else fails, just find a place to hide out for a month or so. Nobody will be able to find you.

"Wow!"

Finally, the teleportation array’s light shone, and Jiang Yun and the other guards vanished.

Liu Meng and the others naturally also left one after another, and this Wumudian hall returned to its former tranquility.

Jiang Yun's eyes blurred, and in a flash, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.

Looking around, I see that all the other guards have vanished.

Ginger Yun looked up, the sky was gloomy and gray, as if a heavy rain was about to come. This kind of weather made people feel depressed.

At this moment, Jiang Yun found himself in the middle of a desert. In all directions, as far as his eyes could see, there was only endless yellow sand.

Jiang Yun murmured, "I don't know how big this world is, and what crimes those hundred prisoners committed."

"They and I have no grievances, but for military glory, I must kill them...“Ah!”

Jiang Yun looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. To be honest, this kind of encirclement hunt weighed heavily on his heart.

Although Gingercloud has a vengeful personality, he is not a bloodthirsty person. He wouldn't kill someone without reason or who holds no grudge against him, as it goes against his principles.

But if he didn't kill these criminals, he wouldn't gain enough military merit and would be unable to find out where his parents were.

Let's take a look first and see. If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to steal the spoils of victory from other Heavenly Guards!

After making up his mind, Jiang Yun released his divine sense and wanted to see how big this world was first.

Just then, from the yellow sand behind him, a yellow spear suddenly shot out. It was like a venomous snake, darting towards him with incredible speed.

"Clank!"

The spear pierced Jiang Yun's back with a force that sent a sharp, metallic clang echoing through the air.

Ginger Cloud, however, seemed unfazed. He turned around and looked at the yellow sand behind him, giving a cold smile: "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

As his words fell, Jiang Yun stretched out his hand and grabbed at the yellow sand in the air.

At that moment, a massive amount of yellow sand rose into the air with Jiang Yun's single grasp. It billowed and stretched outward like a sand dragon, covering hundreds of meters.

"Bang!"

Just at the tail end of this salon, a figure tumbled out from within.

The next moment, Jiang Yun had already appeared before this figure, looking down at the other party.

This is a middle-aged man, of ordinary appearance, but his pupils are bloodshot, radiating a cold killing intent.

Jiang Yun remembered that among the guards of the Heavenly Guard from before, this person hadn't existed. That meant he was a prisoner.

Facing Jiang Yun's gaze, the man suddenly gave him a sinister smile. He pushed his hands on the ground and suddenly lifted them up. A large swathe of yellow sand beneath him rose into the air, transforming into a whirlwind that directly enveloped Jiang Yun.

"Die!"

A harsh shout escaped the man's lips.

All the sand, like raindrops, was striking gingerly at an extremely fast pace, constantly hitting him and producing a crisp sound of impact.

And gradually, the sinister smile on the man's face turned into a look of terror.

Because he saw Gingercloud standing amidst the sandstorm, allowing the sand to lash against him, his entire body remained unharmed.

Jiang Yunmian spoke expressionlessly, "Thank you for giving me a reason to kill you."

"But before I kill you, there's something I need to understand!"

"Bang!"

The man didn't even see how Jiang Yun moved. Before he knew it, Jiang Yun had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up. This caused terror and resentment to flash across his face.

Jiang Yun's divine sense immediately surged towards the opponent's brow, wanting to search their soul.

Just then, Jiang Yun's expression also changed drastically. He released his palm and rapidly retreated.

With a deafening “BOOM”, the man’s body exploded into pieces.

The other party, self-destructed! Even though Jiang Yun was experienced in combat, he hadn't expected the other party to self-destruct without hesitation the moment they were captured.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun's physical body was extremely tough. The opponent's self-detonation only managed to blow apart his clothes and did not harm him in the slightest.

And looking at the huge crater blasted in front of him, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Strange!"

"This person gives me the feeling that they were deliberately lying in wait here, waiting for me to appear."

Since we came in randomly, how could he know I would be here

If it was a coincidence, why did he detonate himself directly after I caught him

Is it simply his nature to be so fierce, or did his self-destruction... serve to destroy evidence, to prevent me from uncovering somethingons. Otherwise, I would definitely have dismembered these two and avenged you!"Just as Luo Wenyan finished speaking, a calm voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Since that's the case, I'll give you the ch...
