nly on the appearance of the sword techniques, forgetting the true nature of swordsmanship contained within them. While your display may be beautiful and intoxicating to watch, it is utterly useless!”...The fighting is still going on.
In the mountains and forest, a barefooted monk with a big head and large ears stood there. The black Buddhist beads around this great master's neck had fallen onto his round belly.
And the man in red robes, who had already passed the second level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, was trembling all over and his face was full of fear standing before the great monk.
Just now, this group of four men in red robes encountered this great monk. The four immediately attacked, trying to snatch the amulet from the monk's hand.
As a result, it was only a facade. This great monk had already used one move, and three of the four were immediately eliminated, leaving only him temporarily alive.
"Master, in this hunting ground, have you encountered Situ Yu" the Great Master suddenly asked.
"Master Situ Yu The one who's qualified to break into the top twenty on the information list" The red-robed man was stunned and subconsciously shook his head.
"Three calls in a row, and I haven't encountered him. Isn't Master Situ Yu in this area"
The monk muttered to himself, then ignored the man in red and walked away.
Half a day later, the barefoot monk arrived at another area of the hunting ground.
"This monk is not ordinary!"
A man and a woman, two geniuses, were looking at the great monk who appeared before them.
These two individuals were both recorded in that genius intelligence report and were considered eligible to challenge the top fifty elite geniuses in the hunt. However, the seemingly ordinary monk standing there inadvertently put a subtle amount of pressure on them.
It is obvious that this great monk's strength is extraordinary.
"Two benefactors, have you met Situ Yu in this area" the great master asked.
Neither of them shook their heads.
"Is there nothing in this area"
The monk seemed somewhat regretful, but suddenly his eyes flashed like lightning as he stared at the young woman in blue among the two. "If this poor monk is not mistaken, lady, you should be Miss Song of the Song family. And the Song family has always been close to the Situ family. Lady, your relationship with that Situ Yu must also be quite good."
"So what if it is" The woman in blue's voice was somewhat cold.
She and Situ Yu, indeed have a deep friendship.
In that case, this poor monk shall take his leave.
Whoosh!
His figure seemed to teleport, appearing directly in front of the woman in green. At the same time, a stone staff in his hand smashed towards her.
"What a fast speed!"
This young woman in green was startled, but after all, she was a genius who could rank within the top fifty hunters this time. She reacted immediately and hurriedly swung her sword to block it.
However... *bam!*
The terrifying power smashed onto the sword, shattering it instantly. The stone staff, its momentum unabated, continued to strike the woman in green.
Buzzing~~ A white light appeared, and the woman in green was eliminated on the spot.
"How is that possible"
The genius who had been walking with the woman in green just reacted, only to see that the woman in green had already been eliminated.
And after the great master had eliminated the woman in blue, his stone staff flew towards him again.
He is still a single stick, this top genius who also had an impact on the top fifty hunters before being eliminated.
As for the talismans left behind by the two, this great monk merely glanced at them before tossing them into his own bag.
There is none in this area, so I have to go to the next place.
There are still three days left until the end of this first hunting stage. I hope to find that Situ Yu before then, otherwise, I'll have to wait for the next hunting stage and waste a lot of time.
"Oh, what a tough job!"
The old monk shook his large head, grumbled a few words, then took two quick strides and vanished into the forest.
……
On the vast plain outside the hunting ground, two women in blue were escorted out one after the other.
A multitude of geniuses who had long been discarded gathered around, and upon seeing these two individuals, they immediately recognized them.
"She is Miss Song, and also the first genius of Flying Clouds Sect..."
According to the intel, these two were both qualified to challenge the top fifty hunters. How did they both get eliminated And just one after the other
"What's going on Who eliminated them"
Many prodigies were stunned.
Theoretically, those geniuses recorded in the intelligence files, as long as their luck isn't particularly bad and they are a little careful, it would be very easy to pass this first stage of the hunt.
While two individuals qualified to potentially reach the top fifty, being eliminated consecutively is indeed surprising.
At this moment, the two women in blue who had just been eliminated stood together, their heads still a little dazed.
"Just one hit, and my weapon was shattered"
"How is that possible"
"Then, who exactly is that great monk"
Both of them still can't believe that they were eliminated so easily.
They were even more astonished by the great monk's display of power!
"Too strong, unbelievably strong!!"
"He's stronger than any Hailing Realm expert I've ever met!"
Even Xia Mang, who is considered to be among the top three hunters, would probably be inferior to him.
One person, one stick.
There was no room for resistance or struggle.
This strength sends shivers down their spines.
Most importantly, they didn't even know who the Great Master was. There was no mention of this Great Master in the intelligence report.
They had never heard of this person, but he just appeared.
"That monk, is he looking for Situ Yu"
The woman in green narrowed her eyes slightly.
……
Su Xin was still walking alone in the hunting ground.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Through the token, he sensed a genius appearing nearby. And that genius, upon discovering him, immediately rushed towards his location.
What a fast speed
Su Xin could sense the other party was approaching at an astonishing speed.
"To be alone, that is the true strength," Su Xin thought to himself.
Over the past two days of fighting, Su Xin has come to understand that most of those who formed teams to act together were not particularly strong. Even if several people teamed up, he didn't care much.
On the contrary, those who walk alone are often the true strong ones.
Like Cangyan, who had previously clashed with him, possessed the strength to rank in the top twenty hunters, he dared to roam freely in the hunting grounds alone.
Like Su Xin himself, he was also alone. But any small squad that dared to come and snatch his token was asking for death.
Soon, the other party approached.
Su Xin had already made preparations for battle, but when the other party got closer and Su Xin saw their appearance clearly, Su Xin laughed.
"Duan Yunfeng!" Su Xin shouted with a smile.
"Su Xin" Duan Yunfeng was first stunned, then a smile appeared on his face.
Both sides sheathed their weapons and showed no intention of fighting.
They were both peerless geniuses of comparable strength, admiring each other deeply and having a very close relationship…
Even if a decisive battle is truly to be fought, it must wait until the final stage of the hunt.
"Haha, Su Xin, it seems we're quite fated to meet. In such a vast hunting ground, we actually ran into each other first. Duan Yunfeng laughed."
"Well, if you were a girl, I could accept that," Su Xin said jokingly.
Their relationship was originally good, and Duan Yunfeng had a straightforward personality. It was fine to joke around with him.
"How many Yin Seals do you have, and have you collected them all" Duan Yunfeng asked.
Nearly 100,000 people participated in the hunt, and only those with the most tokens, a total of one thousand, were able to pass the first stage.
On average, as long as you have over a hundred talismans in hand, you'll definitely pass.
"Just a little bit more, and you" Su Xin asked.
"I'm still quite far behind." Duan Yunfeng shrugged. "There's no way around it, my name ended up on that intelligence file early on because of how recklessly I acted during my travels and training. All the talented hunters know me, so the moment they see me, they either run away or avoid me.
“At the beginning, it was fine. The distribution of geniuses was relatively dense, and I could easily hunt down and seize their tokens. However, as more and more geniuses were eliminated, it became increasingly difficult for me to obtain tokens. Nevertheless, there are still three days left in this first hunting stage, so it's still easy for me to collect the required number of tokens.”
Su Xin nodded. He could understand too.
Like him, he was unknown and no one knew who he was or what he was capable of.
So, Su Xin, whenever he encountered someone, those geniuses, whether alone or in groups, would immediately come to kill him.
Ke Duan Yunfeng was a menacing figure, and everyone steered clear of him. Naturally, his chances of obtaining the talisman were far fewer than Su Xin's.
"By the way, Su Xin, in this first stage of the hunt, many geniuses have chosen to team up, including some recorded in intelligence. Why don't you and I team up too" Duan Yunfeng suddenly said.
"We team up" Su Xin widened his eyes. "Wouldn't that be too much"
That's truly bullying.
Duan Yunfeng goes without saying, that intelligence report concluded he could break into the top ten, and crucially, he never showed his full strength from beginning to end.
While Su Xin's strength was also definitely not inferior to Duan Yunfeng, he hadn't really gone all out before. He had already suppressed Cang Yan, who was qualified to break into the top twenty, completely, forcing him to surrender thirty talismans and leave.
They were both so powerful that either one of them could effortlessly slaughter all the geniuses in the hunting ground.
If these two were to join forces...
“Haha, so what if I bully people I don't care what they think,” Duan Yunfeng smiled. “Besides, your cultivation is only at the peak of the Huanghai realm. Very few people truly know your strength. Even if we join forces, who really knows the combat power of our lineup”
And if we team up, we can run wild in this hunting ground. We could even take down those who are also vying for the top ten, even someone as powerful as Xia Mang, who is considered the strongest. That way, our hunting in the future would be much easier.
Su Xin felt a little touched.
Duan Yunfeng is right, there are many top-tier geniuses and powerful fighters in this hunt. If you encounter them on the hunting ground, even if you can defeat them, it's impossible to kill them and eliminate them, after all, if they can't beat you, they can just run away.
If he were to team up with Duan Yunfeng, then few would be able to escape their clutches.
They could completely eliminate those top-tier geniuses they encounter, so the subsequent hunt wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.
Even if faced with the strongest summer heat...
Although Xia Mang is powerful, the two of them working together can definitely make him suffer heavy losses.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can eliminate this summer mango early.
"Okay, so I teamed up with Su Xin and we agreed to it."
"Haha, refreshing!" Duan Yunfeng burst into laughter.
And with the two joining forces, the strongest hunting combination was born!
……at kind of trick is this"Oh no, he's hiding his true strength!""Let's do this together!"Suddenly, over ten figures leaped down from the battlements at once.There were thirteen figures in total, the we...
