I have a city in another world

Chapter 7087 The Price of Being Listed

The presiding officers of this demon god sacrifice were all mid-level cultivators with cultivation levels of level four or above.

While Level 4 and Level 3 may seem similar, there are fundamental differences between them.

Feng Jiu Kui considered himself to be quite strong, but when facing a mid-level cultivator, he would rationally choose to avoid their sharp edge.

During the operation, his biggest worry was encountering the three officiants of the sacrifice.

Therefore, during the operation, one should constantly pay attention to changes on the map to ensure that one does not fall into danger.

In fact, most participants share the same idea: to avoid the top performers on the leaderboard as much as possible.

This has resulted in a phenomenon where the number of people around the top-ranked cultivators has decreased rapidly.

Like a school of fish in the water, hiding from the pursuit of a larger fish.

However, at this moment, Feng Jiu Kui did not see the icon corresponding to the sacrificial presiding person on the map.

What's happening here?
A terrifying thought popped into Feng Jiu Kui's mind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat instantly.

Perhaps this map is inaccurate at all, or even deliberately misleading.

The purpose of doing this is to deceive competitors and make the killing more intense and bloody.

As expected, those otherworldly demons and gods are not to be trusted.

Looking up at the sky again, and confirming his guess, Feng Jiu Kui took a deep breath.

The danger will increase exponentially in the coming period, so we must be extremely careful.

Feng Jiu Kui felt that the otherworldly demon god probably had more sinister methods to use in the coming days.

To expect to receive a reward from a demon god from another world without paying a price is pure fantasy.

Even when trying to take advantage of someone, you have to be selective about who you target. If your target is a demon from another world, you have to be prepared to lose your life.

While pondering to himself, Feng Jiu Kui was also watching the battlefield, wondering whether Tang Zhen could survive this ordeal.

Feng Jiu Kui did not know Tang Zhen's strength, but he knew that Tang Zhen was no ordinary person and even he felt terrified.

As for the Red-Faced Sacrifice, his strength is beyond doubt; he can be considered one of the strongest in the Death Arena.

What will happen when these two meet? Who will emerge victorious?

His intense curiosity made him willing to take the risk of staying to see the results.

Tang Zhen looked at the cultivator in front of him and knew that the other party had been invaded by demonic energy, and the situation had become very serious.

The other party may think that they can drive away the demonic energy and return to normal.

This is just an illusion, an overconfidence in oneself, and in reality, it is impossible to do.

Tang Zhen couldn't be bothered with this guy who was doomed, and didn't want to waste too much energy on him.

"Go away."

Tang Zhen ordered the red-faced cultivator blocking his way to get lost.

The opponent is not weak, and his combat power has soared after he became a demon. Unless there is no other choice, there is no need to fight him.

His words carried a special spiritual pressure, enough to briefly awaken the red-faced cultivator who was in a demonic state.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the red-faced cultivator's body trembled slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his originally greedy and tyrannical eyes.

"Who are you……"

He asked Tang Zhen in a hoarse voice, clearly realizing that something was wrong.

At the same time, this brief moment of clarity made him realize his own crisis, and a deep sense of regret arose in his heart.

Originally, I only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits through sacrifice, but I did not expect to be so severely affected by demonic energy.

We must escape immediately and cannot stay any longer, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

The thought had just arisen, and he was about to flee, when suddenly he felt a chill in his heart.

It turned out that a torrent of demonic energy surged in from all directions and seeped into his skin.

His recently regained consciousness succumbed to chaos and madness once more, and the way he looked at Tang Zhen changed. "Die."

With a roar, the red-faced cultivator launched an attack, sending white bone spears, enveloped in black energy, hurtling towards Tang Zhen.

The bone spear moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown to Tang Zhen's front.

Feng Jiu Kui, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but gasp. If he were to encounter such an attack, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge it at all.

The same attack method, when performed by people with different cultivation levels, will cause completely different damage.

The red-faced cultivator was already strong, and now that he was in a demonic state, he unleashed his full power with every casual strike.

If this cannot be resolved, Tang Zhen may not escape this calamity.

At the critical moment of life and death, Tang Zhen's figure flashed, and he dodged to the side with seemingly slow but actually fast steps.

The contrast between fast and slow felt strangely awkward, as if some process had been removed.

After dodging the attack, Tang Zhen did not flee the battlefield, but instead took the initiative to approach the red-faced cultivator.

This powerful figure, who presided over the sacrifice of the evil god and was feared by Feng Jiu Kui, was a massive man, standing five or six meters tall.

Tang Zhen, however, lightly slashed the other man's throat with the dagger in his hand as he approached.

Then, they went around to his back and made another cut, revealing a heart-like object inside.

However, this heart was covered with purple veins on its surface, and green flames were burning around it.

A normal flesh and blood body could never be in this form; only demons and monsters could be like this.

The mutation has reached such a point that there is no possibility of reversal. Even if all the demonic energy in the body is expelled, it will inevitably leave behind extremely deadly hidden dangers.

They won't live long; they'll die from various diseases.

For demonic beings, exposing vital organs is tantamount to facing a fatal threat.

By targeting a vital point, a single, gentle strike could leave the red-faced cultivator severely injured and on the verge of death.

Feng Jiu Kui stood to the side, his heart pounding in his chest, staring intently at Tang Zhen's actions.

Based on his judgment, Tang Zhen's strike would likely kill the red-faced cultivator on the spot.

"Kill him, kill him!"

Hiding in the shadows, Feng Jiu Kui roared inwardly, eagerly anticipating Tang Zhen's slaying of his opponent.

Compared to Tang Zhen, who was in a stable and rational state, he preferred the red-faced cultivator to die, because once he was completely demonized, he might really kill indiscriminately.

When that time comes, he will also be threatened and may even lose his life.

The crazed, demonized cultivators showed no fear whatsoever, and began a frenzied slaughter of living beings.

What he hoped for ultimately did not happen.

Tang Zhen did not deliver a fatal blow, but stopped at the crucial moment, thus avoiding shattering the red-faced cultivator's heart.

However, during the process of sheathing the sword, he directly severed the red-faced cultivator's Achilles tendon and used a special trembling internal force to prevent it from healing.

The red-faced cultivator collapsed to the ground, letting out a roar, unable to stand up.

At this moment, he looked like a dying beast, exuding a frenzied and savage aura.

Tang Zhen didn't even look at him, turned around and left, continuing to walk deeper into the inner city.

Feng Jiu Kui looked puzzled, not understanding what Tang Zhen was trying to do. Why would he let go of an enemy that could have been easily killed?
Once you kill it, you can take its place and gain its ranking on the leaderboard.

The higher the ranking, the richer the reward; few cultivators could resist such an offer.

However, it's also possible that Tang Zhen didn't want to be ranked on the list, so as to avoid becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Another possibility is that he doesn't care about those rare and precious materials and has no intention of participating in the competition.

However, there is another possibility: that you will have to pay a price after receiving the reward.

Like the red-faced cultivator, demonic energy erodes his body and soul, ultimately turning him into a hideous monster.

Realizing this possibility, Feng Jiu Kui was horrified and began to regret becoming a cultivator on the list.
