Qin Xin poured his Yuan energy into the jade pendant that Tuoba Tie had given him earlier.
The points information also appeared directly in front of him.
Because of the killings by Zhao Sanchuang and Liu Guichun, neither Longmu nor Yaru participated.
Therefore, according to the rules of this secret realm, the points of both of them were directly transferred to Qin Xin's name.
Qin Xin, who previously only had 1,000 points, suddenly reached 1,800 points, jumping to 53rd place on the leaderboard.
"No wonder these people keep stealing other people's points."
"This one raid alone is equivalent to nearly two days of continuous fighting with monsters."
Qin Xin felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret).
However, although this is inhumane, the jungle law of martial arts has always been like this: only the strongest can survive to the end.
When Qin Xin saw that Bei Feng's score on the leaderboard had reached more than 6,000, his expression changed slightly.
In addition, several disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect, including Nangong Yue, also reached nearly three thousand points.
This also means that the disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect have long since hunted down and killed countless disciples from other sects.
"Senior Sister Ling's points have remained at 3,400 for more than a day."
"It's currently ranked tenth and hasn't been cleared yet, so it must be stuck or has suffered some serious injury."
Qin Xin continued to look at the rankings on the points screen. Compared to the nearly one thousand martial artists who had entered the competition before, the number had now decreased by more than half.
The martial artists whose points were reset to zero were either killed and had their points stolen by other martial artists, or many escaped the secret realm by using talismans.
Before the battle in this secret realm ends, all martial artists who leave will have their points reset to zero.
"Huh? Hong Ye's points are still increasing. It seems he has defeated or killed other martial artists."
Just as Qin Xin was pondering, he suddenly saw Hong Ye's score on the scoreboard jump up from just over two thousand points to over three thousand, placing him in eighteenth place.
"It seems that we are about to enter the crucial moment where martial artists compete for points."
Qin Xin knew in his heart that most of the martial artists who were still able to remain in this secret realm had hundreds or even thousands of points.
With points piling up in the final stage, the competition among martial artists will become increasingly fierce. Some martial artists who were initially uninvolved will likely start making their moves in this final stage.
"Since we let Duanmu Yu escape, he'll probably have reinforcements coming. Let's leave here first!"
After Qin Xin called Xiao Jin back, he ignored the two decapitated corpses and left the spot with Long Mu and Ya Ru.
Before long, several figures appeared where Qin Xin had left.
After examining the bodies of Liu Guichun and Zhao Sanchuang, a strange look flashed across the faces of the group.
They seemed to have no idea that the two would perish here.
As for Qin Xin, Long Mu, and Ya Ru, they had already hidden themselves in the jungle.
For safety's sake, Qin Xin also set up some simple formations around them, so that if a powerful figure appeared, the two of them could escape in time.
"Qin Xin, don't worry. Ya Ru and I may not be good at other things, but we are quite good at escaping."
“Unless a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist intervenes, an ordinary Core Formation Realm martial artist simply cannot stop us. Otherwise, the Grand Elder would not have allowed the two of us to risk entering this secret realm.”
Before Qin Xin prepared to leave alone, Long Mu directly reassured him.
Although staying with Qin Xin for the past few days has been relatively safe, the closer the time gets to the end, the stronger the martial artists they encounter will become.
Qin Xin arranged for Ya Ru and Long Mu to stay in a safe location for the time being.
As long as they can use their more than 1,000 points to stay hidden until the end of the secret realm competition, according to Qin Xin's guess, their rankings will be at least in the top 20.
As for those at the top, most of them will be eliminated directly. Even if some martial artists hide, their scores probably won't be very high.
"If there are any problems that we can't solve, we will leave this secret realm directly. The Grand Elder sent us here this time mainly to give us some good training."
Ya Ru said this in a comforting tone.
Seeing that the two were so resolute, Qin Xin knew their ability to escape, so he didn't say anything more.
After briefly explaining some things to be aware of in this secret realm, Qin Xin turned around and left the hiding place of Long Mu and Ya Ru.
"It seems we need to test just how strong the people from the Xuantian Sword Sect really are."
A hint of coldness flashed across Qin Xin's lips before his figure vanished into the jungle.
...
Deep within the secret realm, several demonic beasts whose strength was close to the Dharma Aspect Realm had been lying on the ground for who knows how long.
The flowing blood had long since dried, and the surrounding stench of blood was initially unsettling.
Many powerful martial artists, upon sensing this situation in front of them, chose to avoid it immediately.
Because the people here are people they can't afford to offend.
"Ling Hanyan, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for Haotian's sake, we would have killed you long ago."
"If you obediently hand over the points you have, we will spare your life."
A young man in white stood among several gruesome dead demonic beasts. Behind him, a long sword appeared in the void, and his powerful aura completely isolated the remaining traces of the dead beasts.
"Bei Feng! The second sword disciple of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, actually willingly became Qin Haotian's lackey."
"How heartbroken your family elders would be if they knew what you had done."
"Furthermore, my surname is Ling, and I have no major conflicts with the Qin clan. You don't need to let me off the hook for anyone's sake."
"Come and get me if you dare!"
Ling Hanyan's cold snort carried a hint of anger.
Even so, Bei Feng remained standing in place, confronting Ling Hanyan, knowing that she had many methods.
Moreover, the few demonic beasts that had already fallen to the ground, whose strength was close to the Dharma Aspect Realm, were directly killed by Ling Hanyan. If he were to forcefully rush in and take them down, he would probably suffer some damage himself.
The competition for points has now reached a fever pitch, even though the Xuan Tian Sword Sect has partnerships with the Zi Wei Sect and the Qi Wu Sect.
But if he gets injured, then the outcome is hard to say.
Moreover, there are still many martial artists in the Northern Territory, Southern Mausoleum, and Western Sea. If these people unite, they may ruin the Xuan Tian Sword Sect's plan to take all the top ten spots.
Therefore, Bei Feng dared not gamble, and Ling Hanyan knew he dared not gamble, which is why she deliberately provoked him.
"Since that's the case, then let's just stay here. I already have enough points, but this time I'm afraid your Tianxuan Sect won't even get a single spot in the top ten."
Bei Feng chose to sit down cross-legged, seemingly intending to outlast Ling Hanyan.
As a result, Ling Hanyan, who was hiding behind the formation, began to show some anxiety in her eyes.
She hadn't expected that the Xuantian Sword Sect would start hunting down martial artists in large numbers as soon as they entered this secret realm. If she hadn't intervened to protect them, Yang Ruoyi, Xiahou Chu, and the others would probably have died at the hands of the Xuantian Sword Sect.
Even more outrageous, the Xuantian Sword Sect, together with the Ziwei Sect and the Qiwu Sect, planned to jointly secure six of the top ten spots, with the Xuantian Sword Sect alone aiming to occupy six of them.
