The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 682

On their way to Sunset Mountain, the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team whipped their red flood dragon horses which were famous for their incomparable speed and kept riding day and night without rest.

Eight days later, they arrived at the foot of a lofty mountain chain.

"Guys, this is the Sunset Mountain. Our mission officially starts the moment we enter the mountain.

Diabolic beasts of level seven or level eight are abundant in the mountains. But once in while a diabolic beast of level nine or ten may show up in front of you.

Keep in mind the rules. You are not allowed to act alone. I'm the commander this time, so everything you do should be as per my order. Thus, we can maximize our gains.

After we complete our mission and return to the city, you will get a percentage of what we have gained from here.

I don't want to emphasize on this but I have to inform you all that if someone dares to disobey my orders and messes up this mission, I'll punish him severely. My actions will be regardless of the fellowship that has formed among us during the days that we have spent together!"

The assistant team leader of Tiger Mercenary Team, who was in charge of the mission warned them all. Next, he whipped his horse and was the first one to rush into the Sunset Mountain.

All the other cultivators in the team struck their horses with their lashes and followed him into the forest. So did Austin.

But once he had entered the Sunset Mountain, he felt it was pointless to stay with the team. He wasn't there to complete some mission. He was on his own mission.

His purpose of going to the Sunset Mountain was to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill. So he decided to seek an appropriate chance and leave the team.

He didn't care about what the assistant team leader had said at all regarding the punishment if anyone disobeyed his orders. He wasn't going to listen to some leader's instructions!

During the first few days, the cultivators kept hanging around in the outer range of the Sunset Mountain. All the diabolic beasts they met were at level seven. They were able to slay a large number of level seven diabolic beasts easily and took their beast cores as well as other valuable parts like blood, flesh, bones and tendons.

Although a level seven diabolic beast's parts were not high priced or precious, still they could sell those things and get a considerable number of vital energy crystals. The level seven diabolic beasts were abundantly present, so most of the cultivators would be able to make small profits which could be accumulated into a big one.

All the cultivators in the team had brought their Space Rings which could provide them enough space to store their gains. So, they were filled with a craze to kill as many level seven diabolic beasts as possible.

Austin followed the team quietly. Sometimes he also attacked and killed one or two diabolic beasts. Most of the time, he disguised his real strength by suppressing his cultivation base at the medium stage of Sky Realm.

He had made up his mind that when the team got into the living area of level eight or nine diabolic beasts, he would leave the team. He would kill the high-level diabolic beasts alone, to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.

As they kept moving into the forest, they encountered other mercenary teams and small groups of independent cultivators. Most of them shared the same goal with the Tiger Mercenary Team, which was to kill the diabolic beasts for cultivation resources.

But some of them just came there for rare herbs.

There were also some young cultivators practicing their martial art skills. They wanted to acquire real fighting experience. Their plan was to make progress in their cultivation by fighting the diabolic beasts.

The Sunset Mountain in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom was similar to the Grand Desolation Mountain in the Violet Orchid Empire. Both of them provided opportunity to numerous cultivators as they were filled with places where the cultivators could explore rare treasures and practice their skills.

One day, the Tiger Mercenary Team came across its old rival, the Eagle Mercenary Team!

The two teams stared at each other angrily. There was an atmosphere of great hostility and tension between them.

"Ha-ha. The world is so small. I never imagined that I would meet you here, Walter."

It was Mack, who was leading the Eagle Mercenary Team. He was also one of the assistant team leaders of the Eagle Mercenary Team and his cultivation base was at the medium stage of the Imperial Realm.

"Young man, do keep praying for good luck.

Don't get killed in the Sunset Mountain."

Mack warned as he stared at Austin.
