Chapter 0023: The Masked Butcher
Looking at the dense jungle ahead, He Yong was crawling in the dense grass, followed by He Rui and He Yaqin, He Yong looked up and scanned the surroundings of the jungle, and watched groups of figures rushing into the jungle, he kept carefully recording everyone's cultivation and the direction of action, and began to ponder the action plan for this hunting festival.
Each of them had a surprisingly similar expression and behavior, and they were all wary of each other, and they rushed away in all directions, making a 'cricket' sound, like a symphony, and the jungle suddenly became lively.
Without stopping too long, He Yong stood up straight, and then waved his right hand, giving an obvious forward signal, and the group marched towards the dense jungle without hurry, and began to search for the target of the hunt.
As they went deeper, the jungle grew quieter, as quiet as before a storm, as if a sudden storm was brewing. In the middle of the night, the originally slightly calm jungle was broken by the roars of spirit beasts, vaguely mixed with some panicked cries and roars, it seems that some contestants began to hunt spirit beasts.
Along the way, He Yong and his party also encountered a lot of spirit beasts in the jungle, but they were only second-order, obviously not threatening, and only He Yong shot alone, and killed them cleanly, He Rui then disemboweled, and took out the inner dan.
In the process of hunting, I also occasionally encountered a lot of sporadic contestants, who were basically scattered cultivators, and He Yong's three-person team also took the sheep and robbed them.
I don't know what the reason is, the genius teenagers of various forces, such as Li Tianqi of Xuanyuan Academy, Huang Di of the Huang family, and Wang Ba of the Wang family, they have never met along the way. After fighting like this for half a day, the three of them felt a little bored.
As he gradually deepened, more and more spirit beast inner pills were obtained, of which there were more than fifty spirit beast inner pills above the third order, plus those first-order and second-order spirit beast inner pills, which were converted into at least nearly 20,000 points.
The time of the day passed quickly in the blink of an eye, and what made He Yong wonder was that in the second half of the day, the hunting competition of hundreds of people rarely encountered again for a long time, and it seemed that they were all lurking in some unknown grass, waiting for the target of robbery.
Towards the end of the evening, nearly 500 people participated, and He Yong never touched anyone again, and the spirit beasts around the jungle disappeared from view inexplicably, this phenomenon was particularly abnormal.
At this time, the three of them were a little overdrawn, and then they found a lush sky tree, sat cross-legged underneath, took out the dry food they carried with them from their arms and ate it, and then meditated with their eyes closed and crossed their knees, and took a short rest to replenish the physical strength and spiritual power lost during the day.
About a stick of incense, there was a sound of fighting in the jungle not far away, He Yong suddenly opened his eyes, got up gently, and dived in the direction where the sound of fighting came from, and arrived there after a while, through the cover of heavy leaves, his eyes stared at the three figures who were fighting fiercely.
What made him wonder was that Huang Di of the Huang family and Li Tianqi of Xuanyuan Academy had joined forces for the first time and were fighting with a masked man, He Yong had more or less understanding of the contestants in the city, and the masked man's martial arts and body shape made He Yong feel very unfamiliar, who was this mysterious masked man?
The three figures suddenly staggered, swords, light and sword shadows intertwined, and the fluctuations of the collision of spiritual power caused gusts of slight wind and waves, rolling the dead leaves nearby in all directions.
In a moment, Li Tianqi was hit by a punch from the masked man, and his figure flew upside down, and landed on the ground more than ten meters away with a 'bang', obviously injured, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Huang Di didn't seem to be much better, followed by a palm slapp, and spit out blood with a 'poof', the current situation is already precarious for them.
Li Tianqi looked at the masked man coldly, a touch of amazement welled up in his eyes, and said: "The hunting festival is up to the end, why is Your Excellency so painful to kill the killer, and he is covered with a gauze scarf, and he doesn't dare to show his true face?"
The masked man licked his lips, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "If it weren't for my father's order, why would my son be draped in a scarf, as for why the killer was killed, it doesn't matter, what matters is your life, today my son will laugh and accept it!"
Huang Di stared at the masked man deadly, his face was full of fierce light, and he said angrily: "We have no grievances with Your Excellency, why do we have to work hard against each other, as the saying goes, 'the rabbit bites when you are in a hurry', don't force us to die and break the net!"
The masked man raised his eyelids, his dark eyes were murderous, and he sneered: "The grasshopper after the autumn, you dare not be ashamed, don't think that you are evenly matched just now, it is just that this son is looking for you to practice your hands, and I will let you see how this son kills with one blow!"
Li Tianqi's face was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he said softly: "Huang Di, it is said that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, at this time of life and death, it is time to fight to the death!"
At this time, He Yaqin and He Rui also sneaked over, He Yong immediately made a silent action, and the three of them held their breath and watched the scene of the fight.
Li Tianqi swept out first, and the big knife in his hand slashed at the masked man's head, and Huang Di followed closely, and a spear mixed with a sharp cold light swept across the masked man's lower plate.
The masked man sneered, stomped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and his body rose from the ground, condescendingly punching Li Tianqi, and the sharp fist wind tore the air with a 'woo' sound.
He Yong's face changed slightly, and he cried bitterly in his heart: "Judging from the voice, the masked man should be very young, why is his cultivation so high, and judging from the power of this punch alone, the masked man's realm should be far better than himself, this punch, even if he is hit, he will have to die." ”
Just when He Yong was distracted in just a few tens of seconds, Li Tianqi had already fallen in a pool of blood, and his head was exploded by a punch from the masked man, seeing this scene, Huang Di's fighting spirit suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy: "Please be merciful to the young man, the family still has some strength in Xiangfu City, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, I will do my best to meet it!"
"Bad seeds!" the masked man scolded him, his words were full of disdain, and he smiled playfully: "A soft bone like you, living is only a waste of food and cultivation resources, this son will send you back to the West now!"
As soon as the words fell, before Huang Di could react, the masked figure flashed, and then a punch slammed into Huang Di's head, his head was like a watermelon that had been opened, and blood mixed with brains was sprinkled on the ground.
He Yong only understood at this time why he didn't meet any other contestants along the way in the evening of the competition, and it was estimated that they had all encountered an accident at this time, and the initiator must be the masked man in front of him.
The masked man unhurriedly took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then threw it on the ground in disgust, and said lightly: "Have you three enjoyed it?"
As soon as the words fell, his sturdy figure shot out and landed on the trunk of a tree next to them, looking at them coldly, and said with sarcasm: "The grade and level of the younger generation in Xiangfu City are really worrying!"
He Yong's face changed greatly, he clenched his teeth, a resolute look appeared on his face, and he whispered to He Yaqin next to him: "The masked man's cultivation far surpasses us, I'm afraid even if we join forces, it is not his opponent, you two hurry up and run for your life, I will help you resist for a while." ”
He Yaqin and He Rui shook their heads at the same time and insisted: "No, we want to die together!"
Before he had time to speak, He Yong grabbed their clothes with his left and right hands and threw them behind his back, and the two of them projected them into the distance like cannonballs.
He Yong shouted in the direction of their departure: "Leave me alone, run as far as possible, and if you can survive, tell everyone present what happened here!"
The masked man stood there quietly, and did not stop him, but just looked at this scene coldly, and then applauded lightly, and said with a playful smile: "What a song of brotherly love, this son is a little moved! However, it is not so easy to run away from the palm of my hand, after solving you, I will naturally send them to reunite with you in the netherworld!"
As the words fell, the masked man's aura continued to rise, and an unprecedented sense of crisis emerged from He Yong's heart, although he couldn't see the masked man's realm level, but at least it was certain that his cultivation was far higher than his own.
The shock in his heart flashed away, He Yong suddenly kicked his palm on the ground, and his body was lying on the ground like a toad, and he made a 'toad triple jump', and then the soles of his feet kicked the ground hard, and his body shot away at the depths of the forest, and the continuous triple jump directly brought his body to a place hundreds of meters away.
The 'Toad Triple Jump' made by He Yong, although it was only a remnant of the Xuan-level primary martial arts of the Hidden Golden Pavilion, but few opponents below the fifth-grade level of the Martial Spirit Realm could intercept him in a short period of time, He Yong had a considerable degree of confidence in it, in fact, this was also an important reason for forcibly separating He Yaqin and He Rui.
However, the reality is always so skinny, He Yong's rushing figure just stopped, raised his head in horror, and the masked man seemed to appear in front of him like a shadow.
The masked man smiled at him, a trace of coldness flashed in his dark eyes, and said indifferently: "Your skills are not bad, you can run fast!"
In the face of absolute strength, running away has become a matter of luxury, He Yong still gave up the idea of escaping at the moment, since the final result can only be death, why not buy more time for Yaqin and them to escape!
Thinking of this, He Yong stabilized his mind, arched his hand at the masked man, and said softly: "Your Excellency, since there is no escape, can you satisfy my curiosity before you die?"
The masked man licked his lips, groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "Just based on the performance just now, this son should give you this opportunity, say it, what do you want to know!"
"Thank you!" He Yong arched his hand, and asked slowly: "According to my guess, Your Excellency's realm should be above the fifth rank of the Martial Spirit Realm, otherwise, you wouldn't have caught up so easily." ”
The masked man glanced at He Yong with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Your eyesight strength is not bad, let me tell you the truth, my son's cultivation is the peak of the seventh grade of the martial spirit realm!"
He Yong's face had a surprise that could not be concealed, and he sighed: "Listen to the voice, Your Excellency should be about the same age as me, there is really a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! Since Your Excellency has such a cultivation, I don't know why you want to kill the contestants?"
The corners of the masked man's mouth twitched slightly, nodded with a wry smile, and said a little impatiently: "Actually, this son doesn't know the answer to this question, so he can't answer it! Okay, now that you've finished asking, it's time to hand over your life!"
As soon as the words fell, a chilling scream resounded through the jungle, startling a group of birds and beasts inhabiting the forest.
The masked man took out a handkerchief again, wiped the blood from his hands, glanced at the corpse at his feet lightly, and muttered: "You are very interesting, you know that you are invincible, but you sacrifice your life to protect your brother and sister, and you spare no effort to delay time, which is a bit bloody!"
