Cosmic Demon

Chapter 166 You have been surrounded by me!
After nightfall in the Great Rift Valley, the temperature dropped sharply, and a thin layer of frost and cold mist surged and spread, falling on shoulders and emitting a chill.

Two bright bonfires were lit inside the cave, and Zheng Jun and others each chose a place to sit.

There was a trace of fatigue between their brows, and their clothes were a little dirty, stained with some dark blood.

"The closer we get to the lair of the cultists, the more modified war mastiffs we encounter. These monsters are very tenacious. The lowest-level ones can split their jaws into four pieces and spray out green toxins. The intermediate ones have machines implanted in their limbs, which allow them to charge at high speeds and bite..."

Zheng Jun silently recounted the results of her observations. Although she was a martial artist, her actual combat skills were not very high. Instead, she was exceptionally good at Qi locking and mental induction.

Therefore, he became the core figure in the team, mainly serving as the commander on the battlefield.

"These two are okay, we can barely deal with them. We have to be careful of the War Mastiff King. Its characteristic is that its tail has evolved three bone spurs, and its body is larger. In addition to its vitality level being a step higher, it also has the skill of 'group strengthening', which releases pheromones to drive its peers into a frenzy."

Zheng Jun was still frightened. They had unfortunately encountered such a War Mastiff King while they were moving forward at a very fast speed.

Its existence caused the group of war mastiffs, which originally posed no fatal threat, to become extremely bloodthirsty, and each of them attacked madly like fearless suicide infantry.

If there wasn't a special assaulter named Lin Kang in the team, who was armed with a tactical straight knife forged from dead iron and could have killed the War Mastiff King who was like a general sitting in a big tent, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"The environment in the Great Rift Valley is too harsh. The possibility of encountering an attack increases with every three to five miles we advance. According to the normal trial assessment, it will take us about three days to break through to the middle level..."

Lin Kang, with the tactical straight knife on his knees, shook his head.

They abandoned the rest of their burdens and ignored the main task of collecting materials and accumulating points. They went straight to the lair of the secret cultists, lying in wait to ambush the successor of the Nanhuang Taoist Gym.

Once they work together to eliminate the opponent, they will activate the electronic mark on the watch and declare that they have given up the game.

Anyway, the extra points awarded to the top 50 in the college entrance examination are far less generous than the compensation offered by Ying!

"Look at the bright side. It's already so difficult for us to form a team, so the Nanhuang Gym's successor will only consume more energy. Not only does he have to face the pack of war mastiffs alone, he also has to collect the relevant materials and find a safe place to spend the night."

The youngest bald guy in the team laughed and said:
"We are all exhausted, and he probably doesn't have much energy left. In my opinion, we should just attack at night and take him down in one fell swoop while he rests!"

Zheng Jun directly rejected it:
"Wen Han, don't treat the wilderness trial as a game. The Great Rift Valley at night is ten times more dangerous than during the day! Not only is the temperature very low, the heat is lost quickly, and many exotic plants will also revive. It's terrifying to think about the exotic plants that grow in such a harsh environment."

The bald guy is called Wen Han. Because he admires Kou Yunchao, one of the first generation of top ten heroes, he deliberately shaved his head to show his desire to emulate him.

He is the one with the second-highest fighting power in the team after Lin Kang. He practices the new martial arts school and has mastered horizontal training kung fu to a very high level. His muscles have been trained to be able to block small-caliber bullets, to an almost inhuman degree.

"I have thick skin and flesh, so I'll go there alone and cut off my head in the middle of the night to end the trip. The Ying family said that if I'm seriously injured and eliminated, I'll get a 1.5 billion contract. If I kill the heir of the Nanhuang Dojo, I'll get a spot on the interplanetary voyage to Haizhou and be recommended to join the four major national universities."

Wen Han was full of confidence. For the amateur masters in the central city, the name Qin Shi had no deterrent effect at all.

The supernovas in the martial arts field all rely on their fists to achieve their success.

Generally speaking, the more famous the name, the better the record.

But when they investigated privately, they found that Qin Shi did not have any outstanding achievements. He had only helped the Inspection Department arrest criminals a few times and participated in the sharpening sword activities to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil.

There are not many battle records here that are of reference value. Wen Han has seen countless routines in the central city. He used his connections to get a certificate for his children, and then used his relationship with the Inspection Department to find several elites from the Operations Department to escort them and collaborate in the mission.

A very common method of gilding.

The most challenging achievements in the martial arts arena are those that are open to the public!

There are relatively few unspoken rules and it is difficult to operate them.

"Don't look down on anyone, Wen Han. Turn your bald head around and think about how your vision compares to that old senior from the Nanhuang Dojo. You know, Zhou Yuanchen first tried to join the Nanhuang Dojo but was rejected.

As a senior who was a contemporary of the first generation of the Ten Great Masters, would he choose a mediocre and incompetent boy as his last disciple? "

Zheng Jun advised seriously with a warning in his eyes, not wanting Wen Han to act rashly and alert the enemy.

Wen Han knew in his heart that Zheng Jun was right, but he habitually said stubbornly:

"It's hard to say. It's possible that people get confused as they get older."

Lin Kang smiled and said:

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with what Ah Jun said. Since we've chosen to form a team and take on Ying's commission together, then let's follow the plan.

Apart from us, there are two teams led by Lao Wu and Lao Zou, with nearly 40 people. This hunt is fierce, so we don't need to rush. It is safest to slowly kill the talents of Nanhuang Gym."

Zheng Jun is the commander and Lin Kang is the backbone. Their opinions are very important, so no one else says anything more.

"Okay, okay, whatever you two say is what I'll do! I will absolutely abide by the rules!"

Wen Han stood up with a smile, pulled up his trousers, and asked Zheng Jun:

"Captain Zheng, I would like to request permission to pee outside. Can you approve it?"

Zheng Jun frowned and responded fiercely:
"Leave far away!"

Wen Han hummed a tune, let out a strange laugh that made him ask for a beating, and quickly walked out of the cave.

Lin Kang was helpless as he looked at Zheng Jun under the light of the campfire, her red hair shining brightly and she was radiant with charm.

He sat closer and said comfortingly:

"Don't bother with Lao Wen. He's just like that. He doesn't care about anything. Ah Jun, how do you feel about the Qi?"

Zheng Jun’s Thousand Mile Soul Locking Technique cannot locate in real time. It takes three hours to determine the target’s location through special spiritual fusion.

"The sensing range was not too far, about 20 miles away, and he is no longer moving. I don't think he would be stupid enough to try to travel at night..."

Zheng Jun closed his eyes tightly and adjusted his breathing. As his chest and abdomen rose and fell, two small snakes of different lengths lingered on the tip of his nose. The surging vitality stimulated his body. In the dark, a ray of light jumped and flickered, dragging out a winding curve.

This is exactly the target that her Qi is locking onto!
"He's...outside!"

Zheng Jun's hair stood on end, he was terrified, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:
"People are already here!"

Lin Kang and the other three team members were stunned for a moment, then they reacted, hurriedly picked up their weapons, and looked outside the cave shrouded in darkness with vigilant eyes.

The dark evening mist was floating in the air, and everything was quiet and serene.

Everyone held their breath, looking nervous, as if there was a blood-sucking beast lurking outside.

Not long after, with a "gulp", a bald head was thrown in.

Wen Han's frightened eyes met Zheng Jun's gaze.

The red-haired girl was so frightened that her eyelids twitched and she felt a trembling in her heart.

Her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

Although Wen Han has a bad temper and likes to be a troublemaker, his strength is unquestionable. His vitality is over eighty points, and he has learned horizontal training, so bullets cannot penetrate his skin. However, he was beheaded in less than half a minute.

"Is the strength of the heir of Nanhuang Dojo... so strong? But he was sent to the outer area, which means his vitality is much worse than Zhou Yuanchen and Ji Yuqi!"

Zheng Jun took a deep breath, and the trembling feeling crawled from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and then from the top of her head back to the soles of her feet, like a cold snake, moving back and forth in her body. She was alert and condensed into a beam of light, rushing towards the cave, sinking into the thick twilight, trying to catch the trace of the heir of the Nanhuang Taoist Temple.

Chi Chi!
It was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a big stove. It evaporated before it even got close, and hot steam came out.

Zheng Jun felt a sudden pain in his head, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer, and fell backwards!
She endured the excruciating pain and looked at Lin Kang:
"It's right outside! Thirty meters away, due south!"

Assaulter Lin Kang held the tactical straight knife forged from dead iron and took a big step forward. His body was so fast that it created a strong wind pressure, which dimmed the campfire in the cave and almost extinguished it!

Sparks were flying all over the sky. Lin Kang held the knife in both hands, made a stabbing gesture, and appeared outside the cave in an instant.

The vitality like raging waves pushed the mortal body across thirty meters and headed straight for the direction pointed by Zheng Jun!

The tactical straight knife tried to cut through the air wave, but it missed!
"Oops! Jun made a wrong judgment!"

Lin Kang felt a chill on his back. He moved his knife-holding arm and twisted his waist, slashing down like a waterfall!

Dusk was everywhere, a thin layer of frost filled the air, and the atmosphere was stirred, as if a long white dragon was entwined around Linkang, roaring madly!
With a flash of the knife, the rock wall behind was cut smoothly, going several meters deep!

The offensive failed again!
Lin Kang, who exerted force twice in succession, was breathing heavily and looking around, looking for the successor of Nanhuang Taoist Temple!
"Hide your head and show your tail!"

There was a rustling sound in the weeds. Lin Kang narrowed his eyes and swung his sword to kill. This time he finally hit the target and used his tactical straight sword to cut through the flesh.

It’s just Wen Han’s headless corpse!

Blood spurted out, and all kinds of internal organs fell to the ground!
"Where are you hiding?"

Lin Kang was secretly frightened. He had not expected that the successor of Nanhuang Taoist Temple would sneak in in the middle of the night and make a long-distance attack, intending to wipe out his entire team!
"Watch out! Lin Kang!"

Zheng Jun's extremely frightened sharp voice tore through the night. Lin Kang raised his eyebrows and pulled the tactical straight knife back to his chest!

The dusk was thick, lightning flashed, and the pitch-black saber broke through the space and slammed heavily onto the blade smelted from dead iron!
clang!
The collision of metal made a loud noise, and the harsh sound waves shattered the weeds, and the debris floated everywhere!
Lin Kang felt as if his chest was hit by a hammer. He staggered back and almost vomited blood.

"What a powerful concealment method! I couldn't sense anything even when you were so close to me!"

He looked at the successor of the Nanhuang Dojo who had finally appeared. The tall figure stood with a sword in hand. The blade seemed to be surrounded by electric light, and dark blue arcs of light jumped endlessly, illuminating the young face.

"You have been surrounded by me. I suggest you give up resistance and raise your hands in surrender."

Qin Shi grinned, worthy of being a contestant in the top 100 competition. If it weren't for the amazing lethality of the perfect-grade electric shock saber, he might not have been able to defeat the bald guy with extremely strong muscles.

This fellow, who also wields a knife, has a lot of vitality and rich experience in fighting enemies.

If the knife attack just now had happened to someone like Jiang Zaiyue or Zheng Quan, they would have been pierced through the chest and killed on the spot.

"Haha! Since you've offered yourself to me, let's just do it! I'll take your life in exchange for my future!"

Lin Kang sneered. As long as the successor of the Nanhuang Taoist Gym stopped hiding in the cover of night and attacking secretly, and fought openly, he would definitely not lose.

The tactical straight knife forged from dead iron shook slightly, the ground beneath his feet collapsed, and the figure disappeared in an instant. Almost at the moment the mud turned over, he appeared on Qin Shi's right side.

The blade moved like a swimming fish, quietly slipping through the water and slashing towards the neck!
Generally speaking, exerting strength will inevitably create noise, but Lin Kang's sword was very different from the norm. It was almost silent, like moonlight falling and covering Qin Shi.

clang!
Qin Shi turned the blade of his sword, like a dragon looking back, and moved his body along with the momentum. With extremely fast reaction, he blocked Lin Kang's vicious attack that was like an assassination.

His mental power had already spread out, spreading throughout his body, as if he had eyes behind his head, with 360 degrees of coverage. How could Lin Kang possibly succeed?

The two swords collided, and the force collided!
Qin Shi's arms were tensed, and his twelve tendons were tightly wrapped around them, dissipating the tremendous force that was transmitted layer by layer.

Therefore, his body was as solid as a rock, and he did not move at all, as if he was unaffected.

Lin Kang felt his palms going numb, as if they were about to be broken apart. His feet dug deeply into the cracked ground, raising clouds of dust.

He gritted his teeth and continued to swing his knife. The two were very close to each other. If he retreated at this time, he would easily fall into a passive position and be beaten.

Therefore, Lin Kang's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and his spirit was concentrated to the extreme, coupled with the strong outburst of vitality.

The second swing was faster, more powerful, and more violent!
Different from the previous quiet restraint, this knife mobilized the accumulated energy in all the bones, and the aura directly rose to the peak, almost like lightning striking the night sky, falling towards Qin Shi!
"This is so decent!"

Qin Shi's eyes were calm, his breath and blood blended together, making his mortal body make a rustling sound, like a rising wave, crashing against the shore!
In less than a few tenths of a second, the two men's weapons collided with a loud bang!
A sticky air wave burst out from the middle, the soft flesh on Lin Kang's palms was shattered, blood flowed, and even his clothes exploded, making a sound of tearing cloth!
He stepped backwards, his tactical straight knife shaking wildly, like the roar of an angry dragon, and was about to fly out of his hand!
If the dead iron was not of extremely high quality, the knife and the person would have been cut into two pieces!
"This isn't 80 points of vitality! It's too strong!"

Lin Kang stared at Qin Shi closely, his eyes full of horror as if he saw a monster.

He thought that he had laid a solid foundation and had a strong basis.

However, after two sword fights, he injured himself and was defeated!
Such a result is totally unexpected!

"Ajun is right! Grandmaster's vision is really sharp!"

Lin Kang was thinking about how to respond, but he saw Qin Shi flying up to catch up with him. His speed was so fast that he was almost like a shadow, blending into the wind.

Tornado force!
The perfect-grade electric shock saber was swung and killed, like an iron cavalry charging, straight towards Lin Kang!
The latter had no choice but to raise his knife to block!

He firmly believed that with the tactical straight knife made of solid iron, he could definitely defend against Qin Shi's attack!

"Drag your teammates..."

Before Lin Kang had finished thinking this, his arm made a cracking sound.

Qin Shi swung his sword like a hammer, with incredible momentum. Each blow was faster and heavier than the last, and he smashed it at the opponent like hammering iron.

In less than half a second, a big hole was created under Lin Kang's feet, and he sank down a section!
Clang, clang, clang!
The metal and iron continued to collide, and sparks flew everywhere!
clang!
The violent attack suddenly stopped and the remaining sound faded away.

The rest of the people who rushed out of the cave opened their eyes wide.

They saw that Lin Kang's arms were broken, and his hard bones were squeezed and almost shattered into pieces!
The tactical straight knife made of solid iron was covered with notches and cracks and could no longer withstand the slightest touch!
As Qin Shi put away his sword, Lin Kang's body was pulled along and he fell forward with empty eyes.

Zheng Jun's eyes were motionless, as if they were frozen.

The fear in her heart was magnified to the maximum, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

But his keen mind silently reminded him that the energy was gradually approaching until it stopped in front of him.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

Zheng Jun didn't dare to open his eyes and just begged in pain.

But there was no response. The energy covered over like the shadow of death, and was also like a sharp sword hovering over the head.

"Don't worry, it will be quick and won't hurt at all."

A calm voice came into Zheng Jun's ears.

Then, a breeze passed around the neck.

Just as Qin Shi said, there was no pain at all. Gorgeous blood flowers bloomed in the night and then withered and died.
