Chapter 166 - 165: Enough, All of You Stop
"ROAR..."
Seeing the wretched human turn its attention to it, the uninjured black ape-like Mutant Beast immediately let out a roar to its companion.
It seemed to be telling its partner that it would keep the detestable human occupied, and that the other should attack from behind.
"ROAR..." The injured black ape-like Mutant Beast roared back in acknowledgment, then immediately charged toward the back of the wretched human who had just attacked its companion.
Lin Li swung the Spiritual Longsword in his hand, which glowed with a faint golden Spiritual Light, and launched a fierce assault against the uninjured black ape-like Mutant Beast, completely ignoring the injured one that was closing in on him from behind.
"ROAR..." Seeing that this despicable, wretched human had no intention of dodging its attack, the injured black ape-like Mutant Beast was somewhat puzzled.
However, the doubt flashed through its mind for only an instant. It was already eagerly raising its sandbag-sized fist, preparing to land a punch on this despicable, wretched human.
It looked as though Lin Li was about to be struck by the injured black ape-like Mutant Beast behind him.
At that critical moment, the injured black ape-like Mutant Beast suddenly halted its attack. Its body went limp, and it collapsed to the ground.
"ROAR...???"
The uninjured black ape-like Mutant Beast was scrambling to defend itself against Lin Li’s ferocious assault. It had been thrilled just a moment ago, seeing its companion about to land a blow on the human!
But instead, it watched its partner collapse right at the brink of success. This left it completely baffled. Why would something like this happen?
’The anesthetic is working.’
Lin Li didn’t turn to look at the black ape-like Mutant Beast that had collapsed behind him, unable to get up. Hearing the thud, he knew that the Spiritual Artifact Arrow he had spent three thousand on had taken effect.
"ROAR..."
After a brief exchange with Lin Li, the uninjured black ape-like Mutant Beast knew its strength was far inferior to this despicable human’s.
If it had to face this enemy alone, it would surely be dead within moments.
So, it roared anxiously at its collapsed companion, urging it to get up quickly and face the enemy with it.
The black ape-like Mutant Beast that had been hit with the anesthetic couldn’t muster any strength. Hearing its companion’s anxious roars, it could only manage a series of low whimpers.
Under Lin Li’s relentless assault, the uninjured black ape-like Mutant Beast struggled to defend itself but eventually revealed an opening.
Lin Li immediately seized the opportunity created by this momentary lapse, and the Spiritual Longsword, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, pierced through its chest.
PFFT.
THUD.
After piercing the black ape-like Mutant Beast’s chest with his sword, Lin Li immediately followed up by lifting his leg and kicking it in the head, sending it sprawling to the ground.
Finish them while they’re vulnerable.
After being kicked to the ground, the black ape-like Mutant Beast’s head was spinning. Just as it climbed up from the ground, shook its head, and regained a bit of clarity, it saw a faint golden light fill its vision.
PFFT.
The Longsword entered its brain, running it clean through.
Fresh blood dripped from the tip of the blade, falling onto the grass below. DRIP, DRIP.
Lin Li yanked his right hand back, pulling the Spiritual Longsword from the ape-like Mutant Beast’s head. The blade was stained with red and white matter.
THUD.
The black ape-like Mutant Beast, its brain pierced by the sword, fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Now it’s your turn..." Holding his Spiritual Longsword, Lin Li turned to look at the other black ape-like Mutant Beast, which was paralyzed and unable to move on the ground.
"WHIMPER..."
The black ape-like Mutant Beast, completely powerless, saw Lin Li striding toward it and let out a faint cry, its eyes filled with terror.
PFFT.
After a faint, soft sound, the once-raucous thicket of grass fell completely silent.
’My luck is great today. I managed to bag three more Mutant Beasts before heading home.’
After killing the paralyzed black ape-like Mutant Beast, Lin Li glanced at the three Mutant Beast corpses at the scene, a happy smile spreading across his face.
Since it was about to get dark, he couldn’t afford to delay any longer. He immediately stored the tiger-like Mutant Beast and the two black ape-like Mutant Beasts inside the Mysterious Small Island.
Then, he took out his motorcycle and sped away from the location where the other Exotic Beast Hunters were fighting, heading toward the safe zone.

"CLANG..."
"CLANG..."
"CLANG..."
The members of the two Exotic Beast Hunter teams fighting over the tiger-like Mutant Beast were engaged in a fierce battle.
Because their strengths were evenly matched, it was impossible to tell who would emerge victorious any time soon.
Just as the two Exotic Beast Hunter teams were locked in a stalemate, another Exotic Beast Hunter team, on their way back to the city, passed by.
When they saw a group of their peers locked in a chaotic brawl, looks of astonishment appeared on their faces.
The captain of the passing Exotic Beast Hunter team, a middle-aged man in his early forties, called out to the brawling group.
"Hey... what are you all doing? Why are you fighting?"
"CLANG..."
"CLANG..."
"CLANG..."
The two Exotic Beast Hunter teams, deep in their fierce battle, had no time to respond to an outsider’s question.
"Captain, these people have completely lost their heads. Your polite question isn’t going to have any effect," a young woman with a Spiritual Longbow on her back said to the middle-aged man.
"..." The middle-aged man fell silent at her words and pondered for a moment. Then, he mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, and a faint golden Spiritual Light flashed in his eyes.
He then bellowed at the group locked in combat, "ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU, STOP!"
The volume of this explosive shout was unnaturally loud, as if it had been amplified many times over by a loudspeaker.
It was a Superpower. The middle-aged man had used his sound-amplification Superpower to magnify his voice.
The members of the two battling Exotic Beast Hunter teams were stunned and dizzy from the sudden blast of sound, and their movements came to a halt.
’A Second Order High Rank?!!!’
The captains of the two Exotic Beast Hunter teams were both at the Second Rank Initial Stage of cultivation.
The two captains recovered their senses more quickly than their teammates.
Then, both of them instantly registered the man’s Perception, the powerful Spiritual Energy Wave he emitted, which was far stronger than their own.
A Second Order High Rank. If a middle-aged man with such a cultivation level were to make a move, everyone from both of their Exotic Beast Hunter teams combined wouldn’t be his match, to say nothing of the fact that he had also awakened a Superpower.
