Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 545 - 351: Hunt and Counterkill (Part 2)

Having already received so many benefits from this predecessor, Chen Ku did not want to be excessively greedy and take the last piece of clothing off a dead person, especially when he didn’t absolutely need it.

After completing all of this.

Chen Ku traced with his fingers the Silver Hook Iron Painting style on the stele, writing the words ’Tomb of Great Hero Wen Suzhen’, and then added ’Erected by descendant Chen Ku’ at the end. He bowed three times with respect before sighing and turning to leave the cave mansion.

And once Chen Ku left the cave mansion, he toppled a large stone over the entrance, sealing it again, allowing the predecessor to rest peacefully inside.

"Alright, now I can head back to Yan Capital to deal with those rats who want to take action against me."

Immediately, he swallowed a Wood Emperor Pill, flapped his wings, and quickly flew back toward Yan Capital.

After half a day.

Three hundred miles outside Yan Capital.

Elder Meng, dressed in a profound black robe, kept his hands behind his back, constantly glancing into the sky, where many White Scale Eagles were soaring and hovering...

Watching the activities within a hundred-mile radius.

Elder Meng.

Was a devotee of the ’Divine Bird Hall’ in Yan Capital, a pinnacle master of the Eighth Realm, having practiced the world-surpassing martial arts ’Heavenly Bird Great Method’, and already reached the Perfection Realm in the world-surpassing martial arts ’Konghe Skill’, ’Sky Eagle Hand’, and ’Wind God Leg’.

With such cultivation and strength, even in Yan Capital, he was one of the upper-tier figures, seen by few on regular days.

Yet, he was willing to lay in ambush outside the city for one person.

The one he aimed to target was naturally Chen Ku.

After all, at Elder Meng’s age, he was already half a step into the grave. Even if he practiced the world-surpassing martial arts ’Heavenly Bird Great Method’ according to the norm, his lifetime achievement would only peak at the Eighth Realm.

The disparity between martial arts is like night and day.

Elder Meng had always hoped to obtain a divine skill level martial art that might remedy his shortcomings in qualifications, potentially allowing him to swap ’new blood’ after five rounds of marrow cleansing and live another hundred or two hundred years.

But those possessing divine skill secret manuals in Dragon Abyss belong either to sects or major families.

Even knowing the major disciples carried divine skill secret manuals, he dared not seize them easily, as the sects’ magnitude was beyond his power to shake.

Yet...

If someone other than a major disciple possessed a divine skill secret manual, it would be nothing short of fortune before him.

That Chen Ku clearly practiced divine skill level martial arts.

If he could snatch Chen Ku’s divine skill, he could expect to live another hundred or two hundred years, moreover, Chen Ku also carried the possible whereabouts of the Hero King Treasure...

Therefore,

Elder Meng must try everything to intercept and assassinate Chen Ku, and others in Yan Capital harbored similar thoughts.

Suddenly, a dharma conch on Elder Meng sounded, an artifact from Yuan Country’s Qi Cultivators but due to its ability to convey messages over hundreds of miles, it circulated widely among high-realm Martial Practitioners in Ji Country as it’s more convenient.

"Old Man Meng, how about it? Did your flock of White Scale Eagles notice anything? Chen Ku has been gone for nearly a day; it’s getting dark..." the dharma conch transmitted a voice, sinister in tone.

This came from another old monster akin to Elder Meng, called ’Old Monster Wei’, skilled in ’Xuanbing Gang Qi’, a unique martial arts cultivation body.

"Don’t worry, if there’s news, I’ll inform you immediately, after all... given Chen Ku’s terrifying combat power, though we’re old, over a hundred years, and our strength cannot compare to Xu Fanfeng, but his Plucking Hair to Make Soldiers divine power is truly against the heavens, I don’t wish to confront him alone..."

Elder Meng spoke while looking up at the White Scale Eagles.

The dharma conch transmitted his words in sequence to the predetermined group, including Old Monster Wei among the five, all pinnacle masters of the Eighth Realm.

Obviously, they all understood Chen Ku’s Plucking Hair to Make Soldiers combat power, knowing that unless there were battle strengths exceeding four peak Eighth Realm fighters, despite the few seconds’ duration of the divine power, it’s enough to kill any of them instantly.

Currently, the six of them spread outside Yan Capital, ensuring their assembly at the first moment whenever Chen Ku returned from any direction and launch a combined ambush.

Only a fool would single-handedly take on Chen Ku with Plucking Hair to Make Soldiers combat power.

Elder Meng was confident in his Heavenly Bird Great Method, as each White Scale Eagle could see beyond a hundred miles; if Chen Ku returned, he would know instantly...

Yet,

Elder Meng suddenly noticed something amiss in the sky.

"Huh? Why is there an extra eagle?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

His expression turned stern:

"That’s not my eagle!"

Not only was it not his eagle, but...

It seemed to be a pinnacle Seventh Realm Green Divine Eagle?!

"Huh? Could someone else be observing, awaiting Chen Ku with an eagle from high above?"

Elder Meng instinctively speculated if someone shared his purpose.

But unexpectedly.

The moment the Seventh Realm Green Divine Eagle appeared in Elder Meng’s gaze, it swiftly transformed into green threads across the sky...

Bam bam bam bam bam!!

Sounds of flesh splattering echoed from the skies, revealing Elder Meng’s White Scale Eagles plummeting suddenly like cotton fluff.

Instantly slaughtered by the Green Divine Eagle!

"What?"

Elder Meng’s pupils contracted fiercely, about to roar:

"It is..."

But he hadn’t uttered the word ’who’.

Instinctively, he sensed something amiss behind him, followed by a dreadful threat to his life cutting through his mind like lightning; his body reacted subconsciously...

Bam!

Yet still way too slow, a small bee behind him morphed into a human form, a dark black divine weapon level stick, swinging down on his head.

Elder Meng dodged his head but was still hit on the shoulder by the hundred and eighty-thousand pounds divine weapon, wielded by Chen Ku’s immense force, instantly blasting his Gang Qi and shattering his shoulder blade...

"Ah..."

Elder Meng could only scream miserably, seeing the stick-wielding youth shrink into nothingness and fly directly into his mouth.

Boom!

A stick pierced through his head.

[Diagram Master has slain Elder Meng, obtained an Eighth Realm strand of Evil Qi]

After slaying Elder Meng.

Chen Ku, simply frisked his body briefly, then followed the scent to continue hunting the next person set to ambush him...

Tonight, outside Yan Capital, quite a few would surely perish.
