"Come on, teach us, and we will spare your life. You might have a powerful technique, but there is no way you can defeat twenty high-ranked cultivators like us, right?"

Han Shun finally turned to face all of them. There were indeed twenty people, and they all looked a lot older than Han Shun, which meant they achieved their Golden core in their mid to late thirties or even more. 

Han Shun wasn't scared, not at all. But he turned hostile instantly because he realized that these people saw him using a forbidden technique unknown to anyone, even Bai Gege.

He doubted that Bai Gege knew about God of Nothingness' real power. So it was best to keep it a secret.

Master Han Ye was standing beside Han Shun, but he was invisible to the other cultivators. Master Han Ye scoffed, 'Those puny things barked at the wrong tree. You should erase them. They already know about my power.'

'Bai Shijue would be suspicious of you if they reported my power. He might not know about it, but he will know that it's a dark power. You know the risk if you spare any of them, right?'

'I know…'

'Then, what are you waiting for? Kill them, Han Shun.'

'Kill them…' Han Shun hesitated for a moment. He never killed anyone in his life. The worst thing he did was hurt Han Min, and he didn't actually mean it. 

But now, he had to take action to protect his identity. 

'But I have to do this. I don't want Bai Gege to know about my true identity as Master Han Ye's incarnation….' Han Shun thought. He took a deep breath to brace himself and replied to the twenty cultivators in front of him;

"I will not give any information. There is no use because none of you could do it like me," Han Shun said. 

"You!" The cultivators were angered because not only did Han Shun shoot them down, but he also mocked them as a bunch of weaklings!

"This is the last warning," Han Shun said. "You will regret ever touching me."

"Do you think we can't kill you?! You're outnumbered, 1 versus 20! You're either blind or just stupid!" one cultivator threatened, but Han Shun didn't really care about it. 

He shrugged it off, "Obviously, you guys are just puny things. Your life is not as important, and I can kill all of you easily. So take this as the last warning before you die."

The twenty cultivators were already angered to the bone. They were ready to attack Han Shun at the same time. 

"Fine, you don't know who you're messing with! We will take your rainbow crystals and become the winner!" One cultivator said. "I will kill you until you're nothing but ashes, and I will tell other people that I saw you getting eaten by a legendary beast. You're alone, that's why nobody is there to help you except me, but I failed. I bet Master Bai will feel guilty and take me as his new disciple—"

Slash!

"Wha… what?"

The man was suddenly silenced when he felt his head a sharp pain in his neck before his head slid off and fell to the ground.

"You talked too much," Han Shun said as he turned the ice dagger into the water again. 

The others were shocked because Han Shun was so fast, too fast, that they couldn't see him decapitating that cultivator just now.

They were all scared, of course. Because that man Han Shun killed just now was their leader and strongest member!

The other leader from a different sect finally mustered up the courage and yelled;

"D—Don't get scared, attack him at the same time—"

But before he could finish his words, Han Shun suddenly disappeared and reappeared right in the middle of them. 

Han Shun created an ice dagger and stabbed the other leader from the back of his skull. The second one fell to the ground.

The remaining eighteen people were shocked. They tried to distance themselves from Han Shun, but a big cage made of ice suddenly appeared on top of their heads, preventing them from escaping. 

Han Shun smirked as he was still standing in the middle of this group, "Since all of you have seen me killing two people, that means I have to kill all of you. Leave no witness, right?"

Han Shun absorbed waters from all the trees around them and created dozens of ice spears outside the ice dome, "I will make sure none of you survived this."

Han Shun suddenly disappeared, leaving them in the middle of the ice dome instead.

Han Shun teleported outside the ice dome and started clenching his fist to control the ice dome.

Slowly, the dome got smaller and smaller until it was too small for eighteen people. 

The people inside were trying desperately to escape, but whenever they wanted to break the ice, it would regenerate and shrink over time until it was difficult for them to move. 

They started panicking since they couldn't use their abilities to break free, which meant they were all dead. 

"NOW!"

STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB! STAB!

Han Shun commanded all the ice spears to stab through the ice dome. The ice spears were strong enough to crack open the ice dome and stab anything inside, creating a gory dome filled with red. 

After ensuring that all of them were dead inside, Han Shun closed his eyes and opened them, slowly erasing everything about this incident into nothingness.

Han Shun chuckled when he saw the pile of a corpse that dissipated, "You can just kill them once by slicing their necks. Why would you go as far as trapping them inside the ice dome and stabbing them with ice spears? It seems like you are the one who loves to hurt people."

"I don't like hurting people. I just don't care about them," Han Shun said. He glanced at Master Han Ye and asked, "Master Han Ye, do you have a plan to hide the fact that I killed twenty people?"
