I Start with a Mysterious Island

Chapter 577: Chapter 370: An Obstacle from the Sky

SQUELCH...

THUD...

AHHH...

The screams were endless. One after another, members of the Red Blood Gang collapsed to the ground, their bodies convulsing before they went still.

The fierce battle raged on. A large group of people was besieging a single masked man.

Although the Red Blood Gang had an absolute advantage in numbers, no matter how they attacked, they just couldn’t take down the enemy before them.

As time passed, more and more Red Blood Gang members fell, and blood flowed freely across the ground.

Before they knew it, after a ferocious siege, not only was the enemy completely unscathed, but he had also killed more than half of the Red Blood Gang’s men in return.

"This guy’s a monster! We can’t beat this monster...!" a member of the Red Blood Gang screamed in a panic, trembling as he looked around at the silent bodies of his comrades littering the ground.

HUFF...

The sound of ragged gasps arose. The surviving Red Blood Gang lieutenants, all of them wounded to some degree, heard the underling’s screams and faltered in their assault. In that instant, fear spread rapidly through their hearts.

Their charge had lost its momentum. Their resolve was weakening, and their spirit was broken.

During the battle, many of their comrades had been cut down. Fueled by a surge of hot-blooded fury, they had refused to back down, madly besieging Lin Li.

But now that they had paused, that ferocity deflated completely. They no longer had the courage to attack their enemy.

After all, to keep attacking an unbeatable foe was a dead end. No one wanted to throw their life away for nothing.

"Gang Leader!!!" The surviving Red Blood Gang members kept their eyes locked on the terrifying enemy as they shouted to the man who was their backbone.

They were asking Fang Jingtang what to do next, if he had any strategy to deal with this invincible opponent.

’How can this be? So many of us, and we still can’t take him down? He’s clearly just a Second Rank Initial Stage Cultivator!’

Fang Jingtang, who himself had only recently broken through to the Second Rank Initial Stage, repeatedly used his Perception on the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from Lin Li. He confirmed that his opponent’s Spiritual Energy was consistently at the level of a Second Rank Initial Stage.

’My Spiritual Perception can’t be wrong. This masked enemy in front of me is just a Second Rank Initial Stage Cultivator.’

’But how can a Second Rank Initial Stage Cultivator withstand a ferocious assault from more than a dozen opponents of the same rank, as well as several dozen Tier One Cultivators? It completely defies logic.’

"Retreat... Fall back," Fang Jingtang shouted to his subordinates after a moment of thought, his expression grim.

He made the decision to retreat for the sake of his surviving subordinates, as well as for his own safety.

After all, if the fight continued, he was afraid everyone present would die at the hands of this masked enemy.

However, the moment he made that decision and gave the order to retreat, the morale of the Red Blood Gang members—who were already terrified of Lin Li—instantly collapsed.

"Run! We have to run!" one of the Red Blood Gang members screamed, losing his composure. He was the first to turn and flee into the distance.

Seeing this, the others were swept up in the panic. They started shouting, each picking a direction and scattering.

"They broke this quickly? How disappointing," Lin Li muttered as he watched the members of the Red Blood Gang scramble for their lives.

Then, he stomped his feet, his entire body shooting forward in an instant as he began to hunt down the fleeing Red Blood Gang members.

SPLAT.

While fleeing, a Red Blood Gang member didn’t notice a puddle of blood at his feet. He stepped in it, slipped, and fell hard to the ground.

As he scrambled to his feet, a sharp dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Don’t kill me, I surrender—"

SQUELCH.

"Urk..."

The Red Blood Gang member who had been stabbed clutched the wound on his neck, hot blood spilling unstoppably from between his fingers. He struggled, trying to keep running, but after just a few steps, he collapsed with a thud.

GASP...

’Can’t breathe... Mind is getting hazy...’ He stared with wide eyes as the enemy who had cut him down caught up to one of his comrades. Then, that comrade suffered the same fate.

"AHHH..."

Screams of agony echoed from behind them. The fleeing Red Blood Gang lieutenants were scared out of their wits and didn’t dare to look back.

"Gang Leader, save me!" Cries for help continuously reached the ears of the fleeing Fang Jingtang.

As the leader of the gang, he should have stayed behind to lead the defense against the enemy. But after witnessing the invincible side of that terrifying foe, he didn’t dare entertain a single thought of fighting him.

He had only just broken through to the Second Rank Initial Stage. Even his lieutenants, who had reached the same rank years before him and were stronger than him, were no match for that dreadful enemy.

If he dared to stop and face that terrifying enemy head-on, he was afraid he wouldn’t last more than four or five exchanges before being killed.

’I can’t stop! I just became the Gang Leader of the Red Blood Gang! I can’t die here like this!’ Fang Jingtang screamed inwardly, his face pale as he fled for his life.

Suddenly, a figure leaped down from a rooftop ahead, blocking his escape path.

Fang Jingtang scrambled to a halt. The few lieutenants fleeing with him also stopped. They stared at the figure blocking their path, their bodies trembling slightly, hearts pounding in their chests. They were silent, not uttering a single word.
