Chapter 243 Shocked
The roar of the azure sky brought a cold smile to Lin Feng's lips, who was two kilometers away.

"This idiot, does he think we're stupid?!"

Yu Qiao scoffed dismissively.

That's a large force of over two hundred people. No matter how strong the seven of them are, if they went to the other side and each used a soul skill, they would never return.

In the interdimensional portal, having more people is never an advantage; if that were the case, it would be simpler to just have a contest of numbers.

One invincible sixth-rank cultivator is more intimidating than one hundred sixth-rank cultivators.

"Alright, let's start looking for lone individuals with supernatural abilities."

Lin Feng asked, "Does anyone have a soul-detecting skill?"

The dragonfish he refined had the innate skill of bubbles, and its soul skills were all designed to amplify the power of bubbles; it did not absorb any auxiliary soul skills.

Previously, they acted separately, and the alien race was not on guard, so there was no need to use their soul detection skills. Now that the alien race has discovered their plan and started to hide, it will be troublesome if they don't use their soul detection skills.

While it's possible to find lone individuals in such a vast world, the process is far too slow.

Yun Kai shook his head; he didn't have any auxiliary soul skills either.

“I have a Gold Soul Skill, Eye of Peeping,” Yu Qiao said.

"Where are the others?" Lin Feng asked.

As the team leader, he naturally knew about Yu Qiao's soul skills.

Detection skills are also one of the essential skills that assassins must master.

Given Yu Qiao's strength, the range of his Peeping Eyes should not exceed fifty meters.

Fifty meters is a distance that can be seen with the naked eye, or even more, so there's no need to use any soul skills.

Peeping Eyes is a soul skill that leans towards perception.

For example, soul skills used in pitch-black nights or in harsh environments such as dense fog can also break through illusions, making them very practical soul skills.

However, it's somewhat useless for searching for people. Although it's a gold-level soul skill, it's not as useful as the second-tier sound-finding beast that Yang Fan refined.

"I don't have any either," Zhan Tianyu said, spreading his hands.

The soul skills he absorbed were all violent outputs; his teammates naturally had their own soul skills for detecting enemy soul skills, so he wasn't needed.

Ye Qiu was clearly in the same boat. It was obviously a waste of the Thorn Demon Dragon's talents to absorb the Soul Exploration Skill, given that it was a god-level demon spirit.

For a demon spirit master, every soul skill is precious. A demon spirit can absorb a maximum of ten soul skills.

Especially for a genius like Ye Qiu who can refine god-level demon spirits, every soul skill is crucial. He needs to consider the combination and development of soul skills, and there may even be a professional team to plan for them. He cannot absorb them at will.

"You're not going to tell me you don't have any soul-detecting skills?"

Lin Feng looked at Yang Ningbing and Huang Tianze; now it was just the two of them left.

He had considered this hunt beforehand, which would require probing soul skills, but in his opinion, there must be at least one person among the seven.

However, it now seems that this is indeed a possibility.

Every single member of their seven-person team was a high-damage dealer, either an assassin, a lightning mage, or a berserker—each one more violent than the last.

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Yang Ningbing stepped forward.

"You bunch of violent freaks, luckily I have the Wind of the Soul."

After Yang Ningbing finished speaking, she closed her eyes and entered a demonic transformation state. A gentle breeze blew and spread in all directions.

"There are seven of us. Let's not go after lone wolves. It'll be faster to hunt down smaller teams first," Lin Feng advised.

Wind of the Mind, Silver Soul Skill.

Although the level is not high, it is perfect for finding people. Lin Feng did not expect that Yang Ningbing, who is a thunder magic user, would absorb such an auxiliary soul skill.

A minute later, Yang Ningbing opened her eyes, flapped her wings and flew in one direction. Lin Feng and his group followed closely behind, either flying or traversing the jungle.

The Jade Seal spatial portal is very large, and for humans, this is a forbidden area.

But for the superhumans, this is just an ordinary place. In this preliminary round, in addition to Tianqing's two hundred-plus people, there are 100,000 superhumans scattered in various corners of this space gate.

The vast majority of them were located within Jade Seal City, but there were also many martial artists and demon spirit masters in the forests and wilderness. Previously, many supernatural beings had ambushed and attacked them, but now these supernatural beings had become the prey of the seven-member team.

No one can seal off a portal to another dimension simply because they are famous, powerful, or have a large number of people.

Only the presence of corpses and blood will frighten the enemy, causing them to withdraw from the interdimensional portal.

The seven-man team was prepared for this. Amidst screams and wails, Lin Feng remained indifferent as always, while the expressions of the other six grew colder and their actions more decisive.

As the killing began, the alien races within the portal quickly received the news.

Most people began to flee, but some gathered together, trying to find Lin Feng's whereabouts.

Some hide in dense grass or secluded corners, lurking like venomous snakes.

But the outcome was destined to be futile.

In this kind of small-scale guerrilla warfare, Lin Feng's squad would have no rivals.

The team of seven, though small in number, consisted of representatives from the three major hero academies.

Each individual can represent the best of the younger generation of humanity.

The seven-person team, like the scythe of death, silently reaped lives.

In this war where there is no right or wrong, the seven had no choice.

It may seem cruel, but it is also a sign of helplessness.

In less than half an hour, as lives were lost one by one, panic began to spread through the forest. Those who had previously been indifferent and continued to hunt monsters or lay in ambush to assassinate others began to retreat quickly.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
In the forest, the sound of rushing wind rang out, accompanied by fluctuations in spiritual energy, and figures rushed past. The leader was a young man dressed in a green robe.

In front of the youth, a strange, crimson insect, the size of a fingernail, was flapping its wings and making a buzzing sound.

The strange insect kept changing its position, with the young man following behind. Beside him was Tian Qing, whose face was gloomy and whose eyes were cold, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Have you found them yet?" Tian Qing asked in a deep voice. He had originally naively waited for Lin Feng to come to him, but as Lin Feng and his group hunted frantically, he couldn't sit still any longer.

With so many of them, they're such a big target that even a fool wouldn't dare get close.

At this point, the original force of two hundred people was divided into thirteen squads.

His current squad consists of fourteen members, and there is another small squad following and searching within a 500-meter radius. As soon as they discover Lin Feng's squad, they can quickly provide support and surround them.

"My insects tell me that it's nearby, we should be there soon, it's just ahead."

The green-robed youth leading the group didn't turn back, but sped up and rushed off in one direction.

"I saw it."

With a joyful exclamation, six familiar figures appeared before Tian Qing and the others; it was Lin Feng and his group of six.

Beside these six people on the ground were five mummified corpses, their blood drained.

At this moment, Lin Feng and his six companions turned around and, upon discovering the enemy's arrival, fled without hesitation.

"Chase!"

Tianqing roared, his voice booming like thunder, alerting the other teams not far away.

At the same time, he entered a demonic transformation state. His once pale purple eyes were now completely black, the whites of his eyes gone, giving him a terrifying appearance. Three bloody gashes appeared on his left cheek, and his body seemed to have been torn apart, covered in a layer of black keratin. Terrifying muscles covered his entire body, and in just a few seconds, Tian Qing transformed into a three-meter-tall giant, a pair of spiraling, demonic horns appearing on either side of his forehead. Huge wings, like black iron, suddenly burst forth from his back, and he flapped them, accompanied by howling winds, rapidly chasing after Lin Feng.

"Kill them!"

"Don't kill them, it's best to capture them alive and play with them slowly."

The other extraordinary individuals also used their own methods, moving at great speed, to chase after Lin Feng and his companions.

After chasing for so long, we finally spotted someone. We absolutely cannot let them go this time.

Tian Qing led the way, flying faster and faster, constantly closing the distance with Lin Feng's team. But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of light.

It looked like something was reflecting the sunlight.

But the place was completely empty.

No, it's a line!
"Be careful."

Tianqing shouted urgently, trying to warn his teammates.

However, it was clearly too late.

His words had barely left his lips when a series of heart-wrenching screams and the sound of objects falling to the ground followed.

Tian Qing quickly turned around and his eyes widened in horror. In his vision, his companions who were moving across the ground or leaping between trees suddenly had their heads gone, their bodies still rushing forward before finally collapsing with a thud. Others had their legs severed and were screaming in agony.

Some were cut in half, with intestines and internal organs scattered on the ground from mid-air, creating an extremely bloody scene.

At this moment, everyone instinctively stopped in their tracks, not daring to make any further moves.

Upon seeing their companion's horrific condition, their faces turned deathly pale, their hearts pounded, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, still shaken.

In a mere instant, three people died and one was crippled. All four were geniuses, yet they were gone and rendered useless.

"what!"

Screams came from not far away, one after another, clearly indicating that other teams had also been affected.

"It's a thread!"

The demon-possessed Huang Ying had a few drops of blood on her fair face, and she was still somewhat shaken. The person in front of her had been beheaded, only a meter away from her.

If she had hesitated for even a second or failed to react in time, she would have died too.

Huang Ying approached the corpse. Above the corpse was a three-meter-long, almost transparent thread.

The silk thread was extremely thin, connecting two large trees. It was incredibly strong, like iron wire. Even when she tried to tear it, she couldn't break it, and it only left a bloody mark on her palm.

"So sharp."

Huang Ying's expression was rather unpleasant.

These lines, even at such close range, are difficult to spot without careful observation.

It's easier to miss when moving at high speeds.

The six-tailed fox she refined was not very strong defensively. Even with spiritual power attached to it, it would still be unable to escape the fate of being separated from its body under high-speed impact if it was not discovered in time.

Thinking about this, she still felt a little scared.

"How despicable, how ruthless!" Huang Ying said through gritted teeth, still shaken.

"It's spider silk, it's Huang Tianze, the guy who refined the Netherworld Demon Spider."

Tianqing's face looked extremely grim.

Although his target this time was Yun Kai, he also knew about the other team members. Among them, Huang Tianze, the captain of the Demon Star team who had refined the Netherworld Demon Spider ranked 67th on the Earth Ranking, was the main target of his attention. However, his threat level was far less than that of Lin Feng, Zhan Tianyu, and Yun Kai.

His performance in the previous competition was unremarkable, so he was overlooked.

This neglect, however, has come at a heavy price.

Four of them died; the other squads likely suffered even greater casualties.

Thinking of this, even Tian Qing felt a slight urge to back down.

"Everyone, follow me, don't stray."

Tian Qing shouted loudly, his physical defense was strong enough that the spider silk could not hurt him.

The team of ten men regrouped, but their morale was not what it used to be. Some wanted to quit, but they dared not say so because of Tian Qing's intimidation.

As the strange beings pursued the team, the sky gradually darkened and night fell.

The killings continued into the night.

As other teams left the portal, the hunting game caused a sensation throughout the country and even the world.
