Just as Liu Yunqing was wreaking havoc, a spell silently attacked him.
This spell is weak and ineffective. Even if Liu Yunqing stands still, it will not cause her any harm. At most, it will only stir up the spiritual energy in front of her.
Clearly, the person who launched this attack did not intend to harm Liu Yunqing, but rather to interrupt her "sudden enlightenment".
Unfortunately, while entry into the world and epiphany may seem similar, the actual situations are completely different.
A sudden enlightenment must not be disturbed; once disturbed, it will be interrupted.
Once you enter the country, it's different. Even if Mount Buzhou collapses in front of you, those who have already entered won't see it. They will only kill anyone who gets in their way.
Liu Yunqing was in this situation at that time.
Sensing the approaching spiritual energy, an arrow shot precisely in the direction from which the energy came, heading straight for its master.
The man thought his methods were clever, but the next moment he felt an overwhelming aura, accompanied by a heat wave that burned his skin.
The man who made the move was so frightened that he forgot he was a cultivator. He just stood there dumbfounded, watching the arrow formed from spiritual fire pierce his throat.
"laugh--"
Like a branding iron inserted into an ice cube, like a steel nail piercing a cowhide drum, and like a cold, mocking laugh at his overestimation of his abilities.
"Heh...heh—"
The man felt a burning sensation in his throat, and his consciousness blurred and dissipated. His body, like those slain monsters, crashed to the ground.
His eyes, unable to close, gazed at the sky ablaze with flames. His last thought was that he was glad he had died a quick and painless death.
After all, he didn't feel much pain.
The dead feel no pain, but the living feel fear.
The one who just died wasn't the only one eager to make a move; it's just that he acted faster, and Liu Yunqing's counterattack was even faster.
Seeing that person's fate, the others, let alone launching a covert attack, would instinctively give way as soon as Liu Yunqing approached, fearing they would be mistaken for a monster and attacked indiscriminately.
These are all people's assumptions. At this moment, Liu Yunqing does seem to be completely absorbed in the evolution of various techniques of drawing and releasing arrows, but in reality, he is still aware of the outside world.
She knew, of course, that she had just killed a human, not a monster.
But so what?
After all, she wasn't the one who harbored ill intentions first.
She would never have agreed to deliberately give up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to hurt her, let alone in this life.
Liu Yunqing let go of his body's perception of the external environment at this moment, and let his internal power unleash the most natural attack, stepping on the mountain of monster corpses and moving forward without hesitation.
Once she had walked further away, among the crowd who had avoided her, someone finally asked hesitantly:
"Should we still kill this monster?"
Upon hearing this, someone scoffed:
"You killed the demon beast, so what will the God of Slaughter kill? You, of course."
Upon hearing this, the others let out a complex laugh, the meaning of which was hard to decipher, but no one said anything more. They simply followed behind Liu Yunqing after she had killed her way out of sight.
They wanted to see if this rogue cultivator, if he were truly a single person, could dominate the hunting arena.
Obviously not.
Because there is another such god of war—Liu Yunzhao.
The group of people who came after Liu Yunqing saw a mountain of monster corpses on the other side that was not much different from what they had seen on this side.
If the demonic beasts on Liu Yunqing's side died cleanly and dignifiedly, even quite peacefully, then the demonic beast corpses on Liu Yunzhao's side were covered with a layer of fine frost, giving them a unique and poignant beauty.
However, this fine, velvety ice, though beautiful, does not last long. Once heated, it melts away, revealing the filth inside.
But none of that matters at this moment. What matters is that this simulated beast tide has been turned into an ordinary hunting arena by two killing gods.
By this time, several days had already passed.
After cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they lose their sense of hunger and satiety, and their concept of time becomes weak. It wasn't until the two of them stopped fighting on their own that the cultivators who had been watching with various emotions also woke up from their daze.
Looking at the half-month competition time again, only half of it remained. People who had been "resting and recharging" for several days realized that they were starting to get anxious.
Seeing that the two killing gods, one in red and one in white, had already sat down to meditate and their expressions had returned to clarity, Feng Piaopiao took the lead and swaggered up to Liu Yunqing, asking:
"Are you still going to kill us or not? If you don't, we're going to kill you!"
Liu Yunqing slightly opened her eyes, looked at Feng Piaopiao and the others, and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, I may need to adjust my breathing for a while before I can continue to cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Feng Piaopiao quickly waved her hand and said:
"You'd better not cooperate. You two have killed all the Golden Core cultivators, leaving only the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Let us increase our points ourselves!"
Seeing that the others shared the same opinion, Liu Yunqing nodded and said:
"Then kill as many as you can, and I'll make up the difference in points you're short."
Yes, the points earned from hunting monsters can be transferred.
Since it's a team hunt, some people mainly play a supporting role. They are very important, but since they don't kill the monsters themselves, they won't get points. The team has to discuss and agree on the distribution principles.
Except for Wuchen, everyone else's eyes lit up when they heard Liu Yunqing offer points. Just as they were about to agree, Wuchen's unique, clear voice rang out:
"You earned all my points yourself, and I know you want to take first place, so keep them for yourself."
When Wuchen said this, his gaze drifted lightly in Liu Yunzhao's direction. Although he didn't say anything, the members of the Tayun Team instantly understood his true meaning.
Feng Piaopiao suddenly realized, patted her head and said:
"Right, right, how could I forget that? Let's hurry up and go!"
Upon hearing what the two said, Zhuo Ying and Song Jiansheng showed a slight disappointment on their faces, but they didn't say anything and quickly followed Feng Piaopiao and Wuchen.
By this time, everyone else had already gone to hunt monsters, leaving only Liu Yunqing and Liu Yunzhao, who were recovering their spiritual power after escaping.
The two disregarded the tense atmosphere and tacitly kept to themselves, each reflecting on the gains they had made during their "entry" over the past few days.
Just as Liu Yunqing was about to finish, the red sun in her sea of consciousness stirred, followed by a voice:
"Kill the female cultivator next to you. I have a feeling she'll ruin your grand plan!"
Liu Yunqing was taken aback. Where did this voice come from?
Is he talking to himself?
Just as Liu Yunqing was about to open her eyes, she heard Xiao Jin's voice:
"Hush, Master, don't move. Let's hear what that old monster has to say."
Sure enough, after a short while, the same voice came again:
"Liu Yunzhao! Always prioritize the greater good! Prioritize the well-being of the people of the Sun Realm! How can we allow the Sun Realm to be put at risk for the sake of just one person?"
"No buts! There are so many talented people in the world! Don't forget that Liu Yunqing is already troublesome enough; we can't afford to create another obstacle!"
"..."
After these words, Liu Yunqing didn't know if Liu Yunzhao replied, but when she opened her eyes, she met Liu Yunzhao's gaze.
