Chapter 357 Hunting 4
Chapter 357 Hunting 4
Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler were very unhappy. They always tried to make their presence felt in front of Yun Youzi, but they were always left speechless by Yun Youzi's retorts.
Compared to You Laohu and Dongfang Yifeng, Zheng Qian's vitality was not just slightly stronger, it was like comparing a furnace to the sun. Yun Youzi's statement that You Laohu and Dongfang Yifeng were inferior to Zheng Qian was undeniable; it was a fact.
"You've been searching for disciples for three hundred years, selecting so many monstrous talents. It's understandable that they're a bit strong, but to think you can defeat so many Dragon Shaping Realm geniuses from the Southern Region is simply a pipe dream." Wu Chengming sneered. Today, no matter what, he was determined to defeat Yun Youzi.
“That’s right. Even back then, you couldn’t possibly challenge more than 700 geniuses at once.” Dongfang Gambling King was unconvinced and was determined to win against Yun Youzi today, no matter what.
"Whether I can challenge you or not, you don't know?" Yun Youzi glanced at Wu Chengming and Dongfang Duba with a sidelong look, making the two of them not want to talk to him anymore.
When Yun Youzi was young, he was very arrogant. Although he wasn't as arrogant as Zheng Qian, who repeatedly invited the top geniuses of the entire Southern Region to participate in battles, he still did many things that displeased the geniuses. The most he ever did was being chased by more than four hundred geniuses of the same realm for three days and three nights. In the end, Yun Youzi managed to defeat all four hundred geniuses, making them run for their lives in disarray, and ultimately becoming famous throughout the world.
Wu Chengming and Dongfang the Gambler were among the group that chased them. If Yun Youzi hadn't shown mercy, neither of them would be alive today.
Yun Youzi sighed, his eyes filled with pride: "History always repeats itself. Back then, I fought more than 400 people, and now my disciple is fighting more than 700. The quality of geniuses in the Southern Region is steadily improving, with each generation stronger than the last."
The gambling tycoon from the East took a swig of wine and said fiercely, "If he can beat more than seven hundred people, I'll be his protector for three years."
"I'll serve for seven years." Wu Chengming was even more ruthless, willing to serve for seven years.
"No need, your talent is beyond your reach." Yun Youzi didn't give them any face at all and refused directly.
Want to be my disciple's protector and ride on my coattails? You two are too ordinary; I, Yun Youzi, wouldn't even look at you.
Wu Chengming and Yun Youzi were frustrated; they were both shrewd individuals. If Zheng Qian could truly defeat the more than seven hundred geniuses of the Southern Region, they could benefit from his good fortune by acting as his protectors. Unexpectedly, Yun Youzi disagreed.
Zheng Qian watched Dongfang Yifeng and Ye Lanshuang running around aimlessly on Qianfeng Mountain, but he remained completely unfazed. These two combined could hold their own against him for several rounds, not to mention the more than a hundred people behind them. If he were surrounded, Zheng Qian would be in a very passive position.
One person fighting against more than 700 people is not a simultaneous charge on a flat surface, but a game of pursuit and being pursued. Otherwise, if all 700 Dragon Shaping Realm geniuses released their spiritual energy at the same time, even You Haoshen and Chen Tianrui, who were at the True Core Realm, would have been blasted to pieces.
At Qianfeng Mountain, Zheng Qian, like a ghost, relentlessly hunted down teams of fewer than twenty people. In less than two hours, he had knocked out over a hundred people.
"This game of hunting and being hunted is quite fun, isn't it?" Zheng Qian stood on a treetop, looking at Dongfang Yifeng in the distance.
A breeze blew, the branches swayed gently, and the leaves rustled. Zheng Qian seemed to be a part of the tree; when the tree swayed, he swayed; when the tree was still, he was still, completely integrated into nature.
Dongfang Yifeng remained calm. Every time Zheng Qian made a move, he would rush over, but each time he was a step too late. Therefore, he believed that waiting for Zheng Qian to come to him was the best way to catch him.
"We'll split into five groups to search Qianfeng Mountain, with thirty people in each group. Don't rush to attack Zheng Qian when you see him. Keep him occupied until everyone else arrives, then capture him." Dongfang Yifeng arranged the mountain search tactics. He firmly believed that he could defeat Zheng Qian in a one-on-one fight, while Zheng Qian was currently relying on the spatial vibration technique to launch sneak attacks.
“You and I can each go in one group, so we can split into seven groups, each group 300 meters apart, with each person 20 meters apart, searching from the foot of the mountain to the top. Zheng Qian will have nowhere to escape.” Ye Lanshuang thought Dongfang Yifeng’s method was excellent; this carpet search would leave Zheng Qian with nowhere to run.
"Yes, Shuangshuang, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine." Dongfang Yifeng thought so too. He needed to hurry up so that You Laohu wouldn't come back and snatch the spirit crystals from Zheng Qian.
Thirty thousand mid-grade spirit crystals were very tempting for Dongfang Yifeng. Moreover, defeating Zheng Qian would allow him to seize the Qi Luck; he could only win this challenge, he couldn't afford to lose.
"We're on the same wavelength." Ye Lanshuang said shyly, her eyes practically drooling as she looked at Dongfang Yifeng.
The geniuses from the Dongfang family and the Soul Guiding Sect headed down the mountain. They didn't care where Zheng Qian was hiding; they had searched up from the foot of the mountain, so Zheng Qian had nowhere to hide.
Zheng Qian sneered. He hadn't heard Dongfang Yifeng's words, but judging from the formation of Dongfang Yifeng and his group, he knew that they were going to search from the foot of the mountain to the top.
"Hehe, just what I wanted." After saying that, Zheng Qian flew towards the Shadowless Gate on the other side.
Ding Yu, the young master of the Shadowless Sect, was slender with a cold and stern face. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. From a young age, he displayed an unusual calmness and aloofness, indifferent to worldly affairs, with only cultivation able to stir his heart.
Zheng Qian challenged him three times today, but Ding Yu wouldn't participate. His goal in participating was to attract the attention of the three seniors, so he decided to bring his brothers from his sect. When Zheng Qian said he had 30,000 mid-grade spirit crystals that he could take if he won, Ding Yu decided he had to defeat Zheng Qian.
When Zheng Qian left, he said he would wait for him at Qianfeng Mountain, and Ding Yu believed that Zheng Qian would indeed be at Qianfeng Mountain.
A prodigy, possessing invincible confidence, especially a wild and unruly prodigy like Zheng Qian, who says he'll wait at Qianfeng Mountain, then he will wait at Qianfeng Mountain.
Unlike Dongfang Yifeng and the others, Ding Yu did not search for Zheng Qian everywhere. Instead, he arranged forty-three disciples of his sect to form a defensive formation around the perimeter, waiting for Zheng Qian to walk into the trap.
A mountain breeze ruffled Ding Yu's hair, revealing his cold and aloof face. Even with the emergence of monstrous powerhouses from the five major forces, his combat strength in the Southern Region's Dragon Shaping Realm remained firmly in the top eight, making him the perfect male god in the hearts of many women in the Southern Region.
Most importantly, Ding Yu is extremely meticulous. Although he is only at the Dragon Shaping Realm, he participates in and makes decisions on many important matters within the Shadowless Sect. Since the age of fourteen, he has been one of the highest leaders of the Shadowless Sect.
"Young Sect Master, the Shadow Formation is ready, just waiting for Zheng Qian to break it."
Ding Yu did not answer, but looked at Dongfang Yifeng and his group who were retreating towards the foot of the mountain. His deep eyes were completely calm, as if he were looking at a group of ants running around.
After a long while, Ding Yu looked towards the depths of Qianfeng Mountain and said calmly, "Prepare for battle, Zheng Qian is coming soon."
"Yes, Young Master." The people of the Shadowless Sect did not doubt Ding Yu, but carried out his orders diligently.
Since becoming the young sect leader, Ding Yu's orders have been divine pronouncements, because he has never missed a single one.
Zheng Qian was still 300 meters away from Ding Yu and the others. Ding Yu's judgment was correct; Zheng Qian had indeed arrived.
