Chapter 339: Isn't Killing People and Seizing Treasures Just Great?

"Di has actually been injured!"

"Unbelievable, someone was actually able to wound him! Could it be Nangong Yu?"

"Impossible. I was in the same city as Di during the second round of the assessment, and I know very well how powerful Di is. It is impossible for any of the examinees to be able to defeat him. It must have been a King-level Desolate Beast."

"Very likely..."

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion over Di's appearance.

The space in front of the Desolate Realm Stele began to fluctuate once more.

Four figures with expressions of shock walked out.

Even now, they remained immersed in the shock of the great battle they had just witnessed.

They had not expected that on their way back to Desolate City, they would be able to witness such an astonishing battle with their own eyes.

They heard the sounds of discussion coming from all around.

The four of them exchanged a glance.

One of them could not help but speak up, "What King-level Desolate Beast? Di was defeated by Wang Jianqiang."

As soon as the words left their mouth, the surrounding crowd suddenly went quiet.

Numerous gazes were cast toward the four of them.

Immediately following, a burst of mocking laughter rang out.

"Wang Jianqiang, that Gold Seal Alchemist?"

"What kind of joke is that? If you're going to spread rumors, at least make them believable."

"How could an Alchemist possibly wound Di to that extent?"

"Exactly. It's well known that Alchemists have trash combat ability; I'm afraid Di could poke him to death with a single finger."

Hearing the mocking laughter from all around, the face of the person who had spoken instantly turned bright red.

Beside them, the other three frowned.

They spoke up one after another.

"Everything they said is true. It was Wang Jianqiang who wounded Di; we were all at the scene."

"Wang Jianqiang didn't just wound Di; if Di hadn't used a life-saving treasure, he would be dead right now."

"It wasn't just Di; the seventh-ranked powerhouse on the Desolate Ranking, Lv Tongtian, was also present at the time, and he has already been killed by Wang Jianqiang. If you don't believe it, just check the Desolate Ranking and you'll know."

Hearing the three people's explanation, the crowd was stunned and looked toward the Desolate Ranking one after another.

They immediately discovered that Lv Tongtian's name had indeed disappeared from the Desolate Ranking.

A powerhouse ranked seventh on the Desolate Ranking could not simply fall off the list.

The only explanation was that he had fallen and been removed from the Desolate Ranking!

At this moment.

Although the crowd found it hard to believe, they had no choice but to accept this shocking fact.

Wang Jianqiang, an Alchemist Cultivator.

Had actually defeated Di!

Just as the news of Wang Jianqiang killing Lv Tongtian and severely wounding Di was spreading like wildfire throughout Desolate City.

Wang Jianqiang, the person involved, had already brought the women to the nearest dangerous zone.

Under Wang Jianqiang's lead, the group swept through like a gale.

In just a few days, they had swept through this dangerous zone that made ordinary examinees shrink back in fear.

After leaving this dangerous zone.

The group set off toward another adjacent dangerous zone.

Regardless of whether it was a forbidden land or a dangerous zone.

Once the Desolate Beasts were wiped out, new ones could be born again.

But it takes time for Desolate Beasts to be born.

To recover to the original density of Desolate Beasts, it would take at least ten-plus years.

Two years later.

Many powerful examinees who dared to hunt in dangerous zones discovered a strange phenomenon.

That was.

Dangerous zones that were originally teeming with Desolate Beasts had, for some unknown reason, seen their Desolate Beasts become rare.

In many dangerous zones, the Desolate Beasts had even disappeared completely.

This made those top-tier examinees feel regretful.

The Desolate Beasts in dangerous zones were far superior to those in the wild in terms of both density and level.

Although dangerous, the efficiency of hunting Desolate Beasts there was extremely high.

It was precisely because they had the ability to enter dangerous zones to hunt that they pulled away from ordinary examinees and ranked at the top of the Desolate Ranking.

Now that the Desolate Beasts in the dangerous zones had disappeared for no reason, they could only hunt for Desolate Beasts in the wild like ordinary examinees.

But in this way, their speed of acquiring Desolate Qi would inevitably drop significantly.

If they were unlucky, it might not even match the hunting speed of Cultivators weaker than themselves.

After all.

No matter how strong one's strength is, what can one do if they cannot find any Desolate Beasts?

As the difficulty of hunting Desolate Beasts increases.

More and more examinees have set their sights on plundering other examinees.

Competition has subsequently become even more intense.

The mutual killing between examinees has also become increasingly severe.

……

Wang Jianqiang does not know the impact his act of sweeping through dangerous areas has brought about.

At this moment.

He and the group of women have just flown out from a dangerous area.

Two years of time.

They have almost swept through all the dangerous areas in the Desolate Realm.

The results are quite bountiful.

They have obtained over one hundred thousand Low-level Desolate Beads, more than twenty thousand Intermediate Desolate Beads, and several thousand High-level Desolate Beads.

Now, the total number of High-level Desolate Beads on him has reached over twenty thousand, with nearly eighty thousand Intermediate Desolate Beads, and nearly one hundred and fifty thousand Low-level Desolate Beads.

The only pity is.

Throughout this sweep, they actually did not encounter a single King-level Desolate Beast.

He is now very suspicious of whether King-level Desolate Beasts even exist in this Desolate Realm.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the six women and smiled, "There are two more years until the examination ends; Desolate Beast hunting stops here."

"With the total amount of Desolate Qi you have accumulated, even if you were to lie flat and stop hunting Desolate Beasts entirely, it would be enough to dominate the top six of the Desolate Ranking."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi immediately said like a money-grubber, "How can that be? How can one complain about having too many good things like Desolate Beads?"

Wang Jianqiang reached out and tapped her smooth forehead, "It's not that Senior Brother is lecturing you, but one must know how to be content. The density of Desolate Beasts in the wild is too low, and searching for them is too troublesome; it's not worth wasting time."

"Oh, I see." Mu Lingxi rubbed her forehead and nodded obediently.

Just then, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "But killing people to seize treasures is different..."

"It saves time and effort, and the harvest is high."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi's eyes immediately lit up.

That's right~

She had actually overlooked this point just now.

Her eyes shining, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, looking eager to try, "Senior Brother, shall we act now?"

"No rush."

Wang Jianqiang smiled gently, "To harvest leeks, one must wait for the leeks to grow tall to make it better."

"Give the leeks more time so they can help us hunt more Desolate Beads."

"Senior Brother is still the most thoughtful." Hearing this, a look of admiration appeared on Mu Lingxi's face.

Xing Li had long since adapted to the occasional devilish words from Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi.

As for Youyou, she came from a demonic path to begin with, so she didn't think much of it.

Qingcheng, however, was somewhat surprised.

It seemed she couldn't believe that someone as upright and kind as Wang Jianqiang would say such a ruthless plan?

"Senior Brother, I think this plan of yours is somewhat inappropriate."

Just then, Wang Yuyao suddenly spoke up.

Hearing Wang Yuyao's words, Qingcheng felt some comfort in her heart.

A person cannot go astray forever; if Daoist Friend Wang can always uphold a kind and upright character, there must be someone by his side to keep him alert at all times.

It stands to reason that Fairy Yu Yao must be this person.

Just as this thought emerged in Qingcheng's mind, Wang Yuyao's voice sounded again, "The Desolate Realm is so big, searching for leeks must be very time-consuming?"

"If we wait any longer, time will surely become very tight."

"It would be better to start now."

"That's right, Uncle Wang, I think Senior Sister Yu Yao is right." Su Yutong nodded.

Qingcheng's expression stiffened.

She looked at Su Yutong, then looked at Wang Yuyao.

Silently retracting a sense of relief.
