Chapter 41: Azure Flame
enever I heard of someone powerful or skilled, I would seek them out for a challenge.... just like the beggar boy Duan Yunfeng he met in Dongyang City back then... he ventures out into the world, chal...Of the three, the one at the front was a defiant man. His eyes were like hawks, piercingly staring at Su Xin. "A cultivator who has achieved mastery over the Sea of Qi and survived in this hunting ground until now, your strength can't be weak either, boy! Now, I offer you two choices!"
One, is to hand over all the talismans you obtained before and join our team. After that, we will hunt down the talismans obtained by other talents, and you will also get a share. You still have a chance to pass this first stage of hunting.
"And the second, is that we three just now make a move to kill you directly. The talisman you obtained before, is also ours.
"Kill me With just the three of you" Su Xin sneered.
"You're asking for death!" The defiant man immediately flared up, "Attack together, kill him!"
Three figures moved simultaneously.
The three of them didn't underestimate Su Xin at all just because he was a small achievement in the realm of Haizhi.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Among the three, two wielded knives, and the other swung a large hammer. The moment they attacked, their movements carried an extraordinary flair, their assault incredibly powerful and terrifying.
"Two of the towers reached the peak standard of the first level, and one even reached the level of the second level. Su Xin's brows furrowed."
The moment he made his move, he judged the strength of these three people. Remember the URL
Immediately, the long sword flashed out, transforming into a vast expanse of mountains and seas.
The three of them immediately exerted themselves with all their might, each move swift and powerful. However, when they clashed with Su Xin's sword, they only felt as if they were attacking a clump of cotton.
They couldn't find any flaws from top to bottom.
"Defense, so twisted"
"This swordsmanship, what a strange way to deflect force. Even if our strength and power were doubled, we'd probably still be easily disarmed by his swordplay."
All three were deeply moved.
With such terrifying swordsmanship, the three of us couldn't possibly kill him. Let's get out of here!
The leader, a defiant man at the helm, issued an order. The three men without hesitation immediately withdrew at the fastest pace possible.
The three of them, were cautious and serene as they watched the three leave.
Just now, he had just used the Shan Hai Scroll to block the first wave of attacks from these three people. After roughly understanding their strength, he was about to counterattack when who would have thought that the three of them immediately retreated. He didn't even have time to stop them.
If his reactions are just a little slow, with a change in swordsmanship, at least two of these three people will be left behind by him.
Shaking his head, Su Xin continued walking forward.
Half an hour later.
"Hmm" Su Xin's expression shifted.
Through the rune, he could sense that four geniuses were gathered ahead, seemingly engaged in a fierce battle. Su Xin immediately rushed over.
"Are they"
Su Xin arrived at the edge of the battlefield and immediately recognized three men fighting among the combatants. They were the same three arrogant men he had just met and fought with.
But now this unruly man, facing him were three, a tall, blond strongman.
This blond muscular man wore a pair of golden boxing gloves on his two hands. As the ferocious spiritual energy gathered, his fists seemed like two golden meteorites, smashing out fiercely and violently time and again, with an unimaginable power.
Three rebellious men, despite putting forth their utmost effort, could only barely withstand the onslaught of the golden-haired strongman. However, they were growing increasingly strained.
"Blazing flames!"
Su Xin had already recognized the blond man, and his expression was rather strange. "These three were so cautious before, why did they fight with Cang Yan Shouldn't they have fled as soon as they saw him"
Blazing flames, he is a top-tier genius recorded in the intelligence report and considered eligible to challenge the top twenty of this hunt.
Such a genius, in this hunting ground, even if he were alone, should walk horizontally.
But even though the rebellious young man, despite having three people fighting together and a formidable lineup, if he proactively challenged Cang Yan, it would be courting death.
Actually, the three unruly men were feeling bitter in their hearts at this moment.
The talismans they wore could only sense the presence of a genius nearby, but they couldn't differentiate their identity. Just now, they sensed a genius was near and immediately came knocking, who knew it would be Cang Yan.
After recognizing Cang Yan, they didn't dare to fight. They immediately prepared to leave, but Cang Yan wouldn't let them go. Instead, he unleashed his fastest speed and charged towards them. One of the three was caught up by Cang Yan, leaving them with no choice but to join forces, which led to the current situation.
"Azure Flame, we've already made concessions, willing to give you ten talismans, don't be too excessive!" The defiant man shouted during the battle.
"Excessive So what if it's excessive" Cang Yan let out a ferocious laugh, the power in his two fists surged again at this moment.
In just a fleeting moment, amidst the three who were pressed to their limits, one person was caught off guard and obliterated by Cang Yan's fist.
"Scatter!"
The remaining two immediately fled in different directions, while Cang Yan chased after one of them and killed him.
Finally, out of the three men, only the defiant one remained to escape by chance. The other two were eliminated, and the remaining talismans all fell into Cang Yan's hands.
"Hmph, escaped one. "
Cang Yan let out a cold snort, feeling very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't help it.
Those who can survive in the hunting ground are all true geniuses and powerhouses. Their strength is extraordinary. Facing three people joining forces, he managed to kill two head-on, which is already very impressive.
At this moment, Cang Yan's icy eyes, as cold and sharp as a beast's, turned directly towards Su Xin at the edge of the battlefield.
To meet me, not to flee at the first moment, and even dare to stay and watch me kill other geniuses... Either a fool who overestimates himself, or a true strongman.
"Are you the former, or the latter"
Cang Yan's voice was cold, echoing through the mountains and forests.
"Are you a fool or a strongman, you'll find out if you try" Su Xin smiled faintly.
Azure Flame remained silent, only staring coldly at Su Xin. After three breaths, whoosh!
Like a ferocious wild beast, Cang Yan charged directly in front of Su Xin. He clenched his two fists, which were like two enormous golden suns, containing terrifying and suffocating power, and blasted directly towards Su Xin.
Speed and strength are both maximized to the extreme!
According to that intel, Cang Yan is incredibly impressive in both speed and strength. His attack methods are also extremely ferocious, absolutely the kind of genius powerhouse who overpowers others with brute force. In that case, I want to see just who has the greater power!
Su Xin's eyes also flickered with a hint of excitement.
Boom!
Swordsmanship erupted, like fire and thunder, carrying with it astonishing sword intent...
The power within his blood vessels was directly activated by 50%, combining with the transformed spiritual energy of the inherited martial arts, the power he erupted was completely at the peak level of the Sea Transformation realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ~~~
That azure flame's golden fist, collided again and again with Su Xin's raging sword.
Because of the collision, there were violent roars and terrifying shockwaves that spread through the forest. A large number of trees around them burst and collapsed under these waves of impact.
The ground below, too, trembled violently with each quake.
In the blink of an eye, the two collided hundreds of times head-on, and the forest they were in was devastated by the aftershocks of their clashes.
"What powerful swordsmanship!"
“A direct collision, the force is no less than mine, no, it's even slightly stronger.”
Cang Yan stared at Su Xin before him, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.
He did not underestimate Su Xin because of his cultivation level. He exerted himself from the very beginning, but after nearly a hundred clashes, he was clearly at a slight disadvantage.
"You're incredibly strong, not inferior to me at all. In a battle between us, it would be impossible to determine a victor. Let's just end this here," Cang Yan said.
"Can't tell who's winning I disagree." Su Xin chuckled, his sword slicing through the air once more with brutal force.
"Are you going to waste time" Cangyan was somewhat annoyed, however, the moment he finished speaking, his expression immediately changed.
He discovered that although Su Xin's swordsmanship hadn't changed, the sword intent contained within it was significantly stronger than when they had fought before!
And under the guidance of sword intent, that sword technique's power also surged!
If one were to describe the swordsmanship Su Xin displayed when they fought before, it would be like a raging inferno.
Now, with sword intent surging, it's like a volcano erupting, spewing forth a thousand miles of lava.
Cao Yan hurriedly swung his two fists, unleashing a powerful ultimate move to counterattack.
And the result, boom! Boom! Boom!
After only three consecutive collisions, Cang Yan felt his hands go numb. His figure was repeatedly forced back.
"Stronger than me!"
"This swordsmanship is even more powerful than mine!"
A glimmer of astonishment flashed in Cang Yan's eyes.
He is also a genius from the state and county, and since his rise to prominence, he has encountered countless strong opponents along the way. However, so far, no cultivator at the Sea Transformation Realm has ever been able to crush him in a direct confrontation of pure power and might.
Until this hunt, until I met this swordsman genius before me.
He was truly and directly being crushed.
And this sword-wielding genius, he has only just reached the peak of the Sea Transformation stage.
"Thirty talismans, let me leave!" Cang Yan's figure retreated explosively, hastily opening his mouth.
Su Xin was startled, then nodded, "Yes."
Cang Yan wasted no time, pulling out a wrapped parcel from his waist. He took out thirty talismans and tossed them to Su Xin.
After receiving it, Su Xin immediately stopped.
"I wonder what your name is" Cang Yan gazed at Su Xin.
"Eternal Peace County, Su Xin Su Xin opened his mouth."
"Su Xin, your strength surpasses mine. You're certain to reach the final stage of this hunt. If we encounter each other in the final stages, we shall have another battle then. This is my vow, Cang Yan Dao."
"Hao Su nodded.
Cao Yan bowed and turned away.
"The Imperial City hunt, there were just too many prodigies. Besides those already recorded in the intelligence reports, there were many more who had yet to reveal their true strength, unknown to the world. Today, I just encountered one," Cang Yan thought to himself, as the man quickly disappeared from Su Xin's line of sight.
This Cang Yan is decisive, a real man. Su Xin weighed the thirty talismans he just got in his hands.
Actually, if he had continued to fight just now, it was entirely possible that he would have left Cang Yan completely here. At that time, the number of talismans obtained would definitely be more.
But, there's no need for that.
After all, the other party has already bowed their head and offered thirty talismans. If he makes another move, he will completely offend them.
In the hunting ground, one cannot truly kill the other party completely to eliminate future threats.
For the sake of a few talismans, he truly offended a genius who could have ranked in the top twenty hunters. If the other party were petty, they might really seek revenge... He wasn't afraid himself, but he could potentially implicate his family.
According to the intelligence, this Cang Yan can also impact the top twenty of this hunt, similar to Si Tu Yu. After all, Si Tu Yu is a descendant of a big family and has received more resources. Perhaps he is slightly stronger than Cang Yan, but not much stronger.
"And while I defeated Cang Yan, it was quite effortless," Su Xin mused.
It's very easy.
His bloodline power was only able to be activated to 50%.
Even though he only used a fraction of his swordsmanship and none of his secret techniques, Cang Yan was still unstoppable.
"Si Tu Yu, don't let me meet you in this hunting ground, or... I'll make sure you can't even pass the first stage of the hunt!"
Su Xin thought to himself silently.
……lly bowed to him."What's going on, young master Shouldn't you be out hunting I heard there are still two days until the first stage of the hunt ends. Why are you back so early Did... did you get elimi...
