Chapter 60: One Slash Sends Tian Ji Fleeing! If You Have the Nerve, Wait Until I’ve Grown Stronger!
With Xiao Xuan’s current strength, he could sense Tian Ji’s location from several hundred kilometers away.
Several hundred kilometers was already an enormous range. The diameter of this seventh-tier Subterranean Cavern was only a few thousand kilometers.
Finding Tian Ji would not be difficult.
“Damn, Brother Xiao, your strength is practically cheating. Just how did you cultivate?”
“That slash of yours probably couldn’t be blocked even by an ordinary Martial King in the middle or late stages, right?”
Gu Xuan flew over on his sword in shock.
“That’s right, Xiao Xuan. You’re so strong. You’ve become much, much stronger than before!”
Su Qingwu looked at Xiao Xuan in astonishment as well.
“No matter how strong I am, that brat still got away.”
After hearing the two of them, Xiao Xuan only smiled helplessly.
“What? He didn’t die? No way. How did he escape?”
Gu Xuan’s expression changed immediately.
With his strength, he had been completely unable to see Tian Ji’s escape at the final instant.
“He should have some kind of long-range teleportation treasure.”
And the distance was at least three hundred kilometers.
“Judging from the aura he gave off, he doesn’t seem human. He’s probably an Other Races infiltrator. We need to kill him as quickly as possible.”
Xiao Xuan briefly explained.
“What? The Other Races? They actually dared sneak into the Hundred-Province Genius Tournament?”
Su Qingwu’s face changed at once.
Ever since all kinds of Subterranean Caverns had begun appearing on Earth, countless Other Races had appeared as well.
Only a tiny few of those races were friendly.
In humanity’s early years, those Other Races had nearly driven the human race to extinction again and again.
That alone showed how terrifying they were.
“Then should we report this to the people above? If the Other Races have infiltrated the tournament, that would be an absolute catastrophe for everyone else.”
“And if more people search for him together, we should be able to find him much faster.”
Gu Xuan hurriedly said the same.
“It would be useless. We have no evidence proving that brat is from the Other Races.”
Besides, if human powerhouses intervene, then claiming our rewards afterward will become troublesome.
Don’t worry. I’ve already locked onto his approximate location.
“Come on. Let’s go see just how many life-saving methods he still has left.”
Xiao Xuan rejected the idea outright.
What a joke. If Zhao Wuji arrived, Tian Ji would definitely be no match for him.
There was no way Xiao Xuan was letting someone else steal his Gold Trait.
With that thought, he instantly unleashed his Telekinetic Force and enveloped Gu Xuan and Su Qingwu.
Boom!!
With a violent sonic blast, the three of them turned into a streak of light and shot off at tremendous speed in the direction Tian Ji was most likely to have fled.
The reason Xiao Xuan brought the two of them with him was simple. If he chased Tian Ji and that brat happened to run into Gu Xuan and Su Qingwu, the two of them might be killed. That would be troublesome.
Buzz!!
In a forest more than five hundred kilometers away from where Xiao Xuan had been standing,
a wave of spatial fluctuation rippled out.
Tian Ji’s figure appeared there.
“Damn it, just who is that brat? He doesn’t even look like a third-year student, so how can he be that terrifyingly strong?”
The moment Tian Ji appeared, he could not help cursing in anger.
Fortunately, before leaving this time, his imperial father had given him several Teleportation Crystals. Otherwise, things might truly have gone badly for him.
Then he began searching his memory for a figure like Xiao Xuan.
Very soon, he recalled the few people who had caused a commotion before the assessment began.
It seemed Xiao Xuan and that girl had both been among them.
Earlier, Tian Ji had only been struck by the beauty of Mu Xiying, Su Qingwu, and Gu Xuan.
He had never taken Xiao Xuan, that pretty-faced boy, seriously.
Only now did he realize that the reason such beauties surrounded Xiao Xuan was because Xiao Xuan himself was already this powerful.
“My identity probably hasn’t been exposed yet. At least, nothing has happened so far. It looks like I’ll have to be more careful from here on.”
I still have several Teleportation Crystals left. At worst, if I run into that brat again, I’ll just flee. As long as I get through these three days, there won’t be much problem.
“Besides, I’ve already memorized that brat’s aura. As long as he gets close, I’ll be able to sense him in advance and escape.”
Though Tian Ji was furious at almost being killed by Xiao Xuan, he still remembered the purpose of his trip.
He had come in order to sacrifice as many geniuses as possible, so that the Evil God would bestow even greater power upon him.
Of course, once he had accumulated enough strength, it would be time for revenge.
As for the third round, if he encountered Xiao Xuan there, then he would simply have to admit defeat.
According to human rules, they were not allowed to slaughter one another in private.
“Hmph. Brat, just wait until I’ve had a little more time to grow. Then I’ll definitely kill you!”
Tian Ji gave a cold snort. He had absolute confidence in his own talent. On a place as small as Earth, he was unquestionably among the very top.
Xiao Xuan might be powerful, but Tian Ji was certain it was only because Xiao Xuan’s realm was higher, crushing him through pure cultivation, and because his Trait was probably at the High Silver level as well. That was the only reason he possessed such terrifying combat power.
As for Tian Ji himself, he had only been awakened for three years.
If he had awakened for another ten years or so, then the one using realm to crush Xiao Xuan would be him.
Thinking of that, his confidence returned once more.
“Let me see who I should make my move against next.”
Tian Ji’s gaze turned sinister.
He directly activated the tracking secret art within his Dark Codex.
Back in the plaza, he had already used that secret art to mark some of the geniuses.
“Roar!!!”
But just as he was about to search for his next target, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly rang out from not far away.
“Someone is hunting a Ferocious Beast. From the sound of it, it’s at least sixth tier. My luck is excellent. I just arrived and I’ve already found a major target.”
Tian Ji’s eyes lit up instantly. Excited, he turned to look in that direction.
He wasted no time and transformed directly into a mass of black mist, flying toward that direction at top speed.
Shing!!!
At that same moment, accompanied by a world-shaking spear cry, a terrifying spear radiance thousands of meters long directly nailed a giant beast hundreds of meters in size to the ground.
In the sky, a heroic young man clad in silver battle armor stood against the wind.
He clenched his hand in empty air, and in the next moment, a long spear shot up into the sky from the body of the giant beast pinned to the earth, finally landing in his hand.
“A Sixth-Tier, Nine-Star beast is barely worth three hundred points. Its level is still too low. It seems that if I want a high score in the first round, I’ll need not only strength, but luck as well.”
The young man thought calmly.
But then he suddenly turned around and thrust his spear behind him!
Clang!!
In an instant, a terrifying spear radiance shot violently toward the ground behind him.
Rumble—!!!!!
A heaven-shaking explosion resounded through the entire forest.
“I didn’t hit? Your speed is fairly good.”
The young man showed little surprise. Instead, he became interested.
Amid the billowing dust, Tian Ji flew out with a dark expression.
That strike truly had not hit him, but it had come dangerously close.
Had he been caught off guard, even he would have been killed.
“You are quite strong. You are worthy of being slain by my hand!!”
Tian Ji looked at the young man and spoke with a mocking gaze.
“Zhangzhou, Zhao Ziyun!”
