Chapter 46

"Yu Zhangsheng, Yu Zhangsheng."

"Where on earth are you? That person from Yu Ding Peak gave me a name and a portrait, but wanting to find one person among three thousand Outer Disciples in the Secret Realm — difficult, so difficult."

"If the other party didn't die by my hand, but died by someone else's hand, does that count as my merit? It should count, right? Anyway, that person just wants him dead."

In the forest, Wang Qizheng crouched, a dagger gripped in his hand, stabbing again and again into an Outer Disciple at his feet, muttering under his breath.

And this Outer Disciple, stabbed several times in succession, still had not breathed his last; each time the blade went down, he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes full of struggle and pain, and a plea for death.

Wang Qizheng came from the bottom rung of society, drifted through the slums, and by good fortune obtained a cultivation method; only then did he climb up step by step, finally joining the Wanxiang Sect.

His Spirit Root aptitude was actually not bad — inferior to a True Spirit Root, but richer than ordinary Mixed Spirit Roots; it was only a pity he started cultivating immortal arts too late, which was why he could not directly join the Outer Sect.

However, with ruthless and vicious means, he also carved out his own path on the Outer Peaks; in less than two years he broke through to Qi Refining Fifth Heaven, and took part in this Selection.

"I heard that Yu Zhangsheng is also a Beast Tamer; I've never killed a Beast Tamer in this life of mine, don't know if they're easy to kill or not."

"That person paid so many spirit stones, there must be difficulty involved; he even gave me two of these pills, Scatter Demon Yuan Pills — in this Secret Realm they're a treasure."

Wang Qizheng's final stab pierced the other's forehead; the Outer Disciple's twitching legs finally stilled, revealing a smile.

He stood up, silently sheathed the dagger, and carefully crept toward the depths of the forest.

As a hunter, he never underestimated anyone.

"Oh? Elder Zhang, looks like your Badao Peak is going to receive a good seedling this time; this little guy is called Wang Qizheng, right?"

Elder Wan stared with great interest at the scene in the picture.

"His mindset is good, it's just that his age is a bit on the high side." Elder Zhang glanced at the registration information and spoke.

"Twenty years old — that's not old; back when this old man was that age, I had only just come into contact with immortal arts." Elder Wan grinned.

"This is the tenth Outer Disciple he's killed; not bad, not bad, ranked near the top of the Ranking List, strikes decisively — if he studied the sword it would be even better."

"Heh heh heh, Elder Wan, don't go snatching our Badao Peak's seedling; that Wu Shang studies the Yujian Peak method, and from the looks of it he's not bad either." Elder Zhang said with a laugh.

"His sword is not pure, his heart is not determined; his good performance is entirely due to the help of the other two — it doesn't count as excellent." Elder Wan shook his head.

"Now that he can squeeze into the top fifty, entering the Outer Sect should be no problem; but wanting to go further — difficult."

"Judging by his appearance, he seems to be deliberately searching for someone; could it be he has a grudge against a certain Outer Disciple?" Elder Zhang asked doubtfully.

"Heh, I know a bit about this matter; most likely it has a connection with Huang Suyu." At this, the Elder of Yu Ding Peak laughed, instantly drawing the attention of the other Elders.

Even after becoming Foundation Establishment Powerhouses, in their hearts they all still have a gossip-loving heart.

The surrounding Elders hurriedly pressed for details, and in the end burst out laughing.

"Yu Zhangsheng?"

This was also the first time Yun Hejing had heard this name.

Unexpectedly, her Yushou Peak had produced a new seedling; in recent years there had been hardly any Outer Disciples willing to choose Yushou Peak.

So, out of curiosity, she sent her Divine Sense into the Ranking List and found the information belonging to Yu Zhangsheng's Talisman Jade.

A scene unfolded before her eyes.

"Hm?"

Yu Zhangsheng, who was searching for enemies, halted his steps, frowned slightly; in his Divine Sense there was a feeling of being watched.

His Divine Sense was incomparably vast, far exceeding Qi Refining Peak; even Foundation Establishment first or second layer did not match him.

So very quickly he sensed where this feeling of being watched originated from.

"It's the Talisman Jade — just like a camera projection, it projects my image to the outside world, huh."

"This feeling is really awful; find a chance to block it? No, this is just a little Outer Disciple at Qi Refining Fifth Layer — how could he sense the Talisman Jade's spying? Better to carry on as normal."

"Anyway I'm not doing anything shady; if they watch, they watch."

After Yu Zhangsheng's gaze firmed, he cast Wind Travel Technique and flew forward. Before long, his Divine Sense caught a new aura.

"This is? Senior Brother Zhuang?"

Yu Zhangsheng stopped in surprise.

A kilometer away, Zhuang Yan, covered in blood, expression panicked, was fleeing desperately; behind him two Outer Disciples were pursuing on flying swords,

the magic sword in Zhuang Yan's hand was dull in luster — one look and you could tell he had suffered heavy injury.

"Hahaha, you can't escape; surrender obediently."

"Hand over the Talisman Jade, and perhaps we'll grant you a quick death!"

One Outer Disciple shouted arrogantly, the magic sword in his hand suddenly thrust out; a streak of green Sword Qi, carrying a whistling sound, attacked Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan, frightened, paled greatly and hurriedly dodged.

However, this Outer Disciple's attack speed was extremely fast; in an instant it pierced his arm, a large spray of fresh blood burst out, nearly severing the arm.

"Ah!"

Zhuang Yan let out a miserable scream, scrambled and crawled to continue fleeing, but going on like this he would be caught sooner or later.

And just then, a gust of wind swept in from the front, giving them a huge fright.

"Iron Eagle King!"

"Careful, dodge quickly!"

The Outer Disciple behind hurriedly shouted, simultaneously casting a spell and pointing a finger forward.

Sword Light clashed with the Iron Eagle King's Black Wind Slash; in the blink of an eye both shattered, and the hard feathers, carrying sharp wind, sliced through his companion.

That Outer Disciple's head flew off, spinning in the air, then fell to the ground; fresh blood spurted out, dyeing a large patch of mud red.

The Iron Eagle King flapped its wings, letting out an excited cry.

"How could this happen?!"

The situation changed in the flash of a spark; and at this moment a Fireball flew from afar, scaring him into hurriedly retreating and dodging.

"Dodges pretty fast." Yu Zhangsheng walked out of the dense forest at a leisurely pace, a smile on his face as he stared at the other party, sizing him up from head to toe.

Qi Refining Sixth Layer, a Sword Cultivator who chose Yujian Peak, and reaction speed extremely fast — no wonder he could chase Zhuang Yan and beat him.

If Yu Zhangsheng hadn't launched a sneak attack, that Sword Cultivator probably wouldn't have been killed in an instant.

But now only one person remains, so it's much simpler.

"Beast Tamer!"

Du Yinghao stared at the Iron Eagle King with an ugly complexion.

A Demonic Beast of the same realm, plus two Cultivators on the side, and his mood plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.

He originally thought victory was in hand, but didn't expect a sudden turn of events.

Beast Tamers are universally weak, precisely because Demonic Beasts are difficult to nurture; everyone is just a Disciple, so there are even fewer Resources to spend on Demonic Beasts.

Why is this Beast Tamer actually able to afford raising an Iron Eagle King!

"What to do? Retreat?"

Du Yinghao unwillingly glanced at Zhuang Yan in his heart, then steeled his resolve, turned, and fled.

Compared to a single Talisman Jade, his own life is more important; three against one, the advantage is not on his side!

But he wanted to run, yet Yu Zhangsheng had no intention of letting him go, and shouted.

"Iron Eagle King!"
