Chapter 1562: Hunter and Prey 2

Tang Shaoyang felt like Novoa was avoiding him. It was proven how she decided to run away instead of trying to team up together. It was not like he wanted to team up, but that was just weird. Even though the time they spent together was so short, they were still former teammates. It was not like he would kill her as long as she did not try to kill him.

"Whatever."

Tang Shaoyang shrugged at Novoa's weird attitude toward him. He focused on the party before him. They were circling him, a generic formation to gang up on someone.

"I would like to enjoy the moment, but I don't have that much time."

He summoned all his spirits. That was right, all of the spirits. From four against one, it became thirty-two against four.

The man with the golden crown was shocked, immediately realizing who the man he was trying to kill was. The man in front of him was the hottest topic in this trial. The participant with a bounty on his head put by The Nirvana Alliance. Tang Shaoyang, the Spirit Contractor.

He did not even communicate with his party members as he turned around and tried to escape. He hoped his party members would be enough to buy him time.

His party members cursed at him when they realized he escaped by himself. Of course, he ignored them with a thought, 'I will gather more people and kill him to avenge you guys.'

He was delighted that Tang Shaoyang did not chase after him. There was no spirit behind him as he successfully made an escape.

It was now three against thirty-one Archaic Spirits. Tang Shaoyang did not have to do anything as his spirits overwhelmed them before they could use anything. It was quick and clean. Doombringer then threw the three bodies before his feet.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head at the sight of the three corpses. His spirits were quite ruthless, they killed them before they could even surrender. One lost half of his head, another one was split into two, and the third one was unrecognizable. He put the bodies into inventory as Avyn landed next to him.

"Why did you let him escape? We can hold him easily even if he has a gold crown."

That was right, Tang Shaoyang ordered the spirits to let the man with the golden crown escape. Of course, there was a reason behind his decision.

"No worry. He will come back and bring more people to me. That's much better than looking at people one by one. Let them know where I am, and they will come to me on their own."

That was the plan. With a bounty on his head, people were looking for him to claim the bounty. He used the man with the golden crown to announce his whereabouts.

Tang Shaoyang clapped his hand, attracting his spirits' attention, "Here is the plan guys. Form three teams and go hunt them for me! You decide your team, and you are not allowed to move alone. We are not trying to have fun, but I want to finish and win this trial as quickly as possible!"

To his surprise, the team was quickly formed. He thought there would be a debate between themselves to decide the team. They just formed three groups, twenty-nine spirits. Two teams with ten spirits, and one team with nine spirits. Two spirits did not join the team, they stayed on Tang Shaoyang's side: Avyn and Zara.

"We will stay with you. No compromise for this matter!" Avyn made it clear that she would stay with him no matter what he said. Zara did not say anything, but she clearly agreed with Avyn's decision to stay with Tang Shaoyang. They were afraid something happened to Tang Shaoyang. Especially after the incident with Artrus.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and walked in the direction where the man with the golden crown escaped, "I will go this way."

As he said that, the three teams went in three different directions. Ten Archaic Spirits should be enough to kill a party of God Rank.

"Are we chasing that man?" Zara asked.

"Not really. If he returns, he will return from this direction too."

Mourad kept going even though no one was chasing after him. He made sure that Tang Shaoyang would not be able to catch him, at all. Not sure why Tang Shaoyang let him escape, but he would use this chance to come back with more people and take the bounty.

As Tang Shaoyang predicted, Mourad planned to gather more people to return. The first place for the trial was quite hard, so focusing on the bounty might be a good choice for him. Of course, he would keep trying in the trial, but killing Tang Shaoyang took priority.

As he kept running in one direction, he met three familiar faces, 'Fuck!'. He cursed in his heart. Meeting the three vampires from the Valentine Family was the worst encounter.

The three also turned around and were surprised to see Mourad, especially Novoa. Novoa believed it would not be that hard to stop someone like Mourad from escaping. This was suspicious.

"Don't attack me! I come with peace of mind, and I have a proposal for you guys!"

Mourad slowed down while raising his hands in the air. He was showing them that he meant no harm.

Novoa frowned deeper as the situation was even more suspicious. Focusing on her senses, she tried to check the surroundings, especially the area behind Mourad. She was afraid that Tang Shaoyang used Mourad as bait. However, she could not find anyone. Mourad was alone. Her cousins also confirmed that Mourad was alone.

"Don't listen to him. We kill him and keep moving!" Novoa did not want to listen to Mourad, not willing to take any risk. She did not know when Tang Shaoyang would catch up.

"No, I don't want to fight you guys anymore. I have a better proposal than just merely points. The reward bounty from the Nirvana Alliance! Let's work together and kill Tang Shaoyang!"
