Cosmic Demon

Chapter 167 Black Lotus Structure, Tianyu Divine Arrow Flow!
In the Qin Dynasty, he broke the divine barrier and went through the three tests of clearing away the mental obstacles, removing the shackles, and passing the prison.

The answer he gave was to kill and no longer be bound by rules.

This is the result of pointing directly to one’s true heart.

So, Qin Shi was in a very peaceful state of mind as he slashed and killed several contestants with his sword in one breath. After dealing with them one by one, he quietly collected supplies and spoils.

His mental power is so sharp that he can hardly miss any malicious intentions.

"Since the enemy's names are all displayed as red, it's reasonable for me to kill them and get some gold coins."

Qin Shi rekindled the bonfire and, using the light from it, counted everyone's "gifts".

Because I was participating in the Top 100 competition, I didn't have anything valuable on me, only weapons and protective gear.

The Martial Arts Association does not allow you to bring anything else as it would affect the fairness of the trial.

Moreover, the electronic pollution in the Great Rift Valley itself is extremely serious, and thermal weapons cannot be used at all. One careless mistake will cause an "activation" disaster.

"There aren't many rations left."

Qin Shi put it into his tactical backpack, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The long-distance raid in the middle of the night and the battle just now actually consumed a lot of energy.

If I hadn't learned the "Secret Book of the Universe's Baking Furnace", which raised the level of my body-cultivation furnace and stored a large amount of nutrients in my flesh and blood, I might not have been able to hold on.

Especially in the Great Rift Valley after nightfall, all kinds of strange plants come back to life, making it full of danger.

During the journey of dozens of kilometers, Qin Shi encountered two accidents that almost caused him to fall.

One is a crystal cluster that looks like coral, emitting a soft halo that attracts people to come closer.

But if you reach out and touch it, you will most likely get infected, and your skin will quickly solidify into crystals, damaging the vitality of your flesh and blood;
The other is a group of war mastiffs roaming around. They are more terrifying at night than during the day and are very aggressive. After capturing the "target", they immediately summon the rest of their kind to encircle and suppress it.

Although Qin Shi seemed to have reached the cave quietly, he had actually suffered several fierce battles.

It was entirely thanks to the huge savings that I was able to escape danger.

"The players in the outer area of ​​the top 100 competition are indeed very strong. If that bald guy hadn't been so confident and had to use his head to block my electric saber, he wouldn't have been killed instantly.

The guy who also wields a knife has good physical strength and fitness...but the red-haired girl is weak, she looks like she was scared silly."

Qin Shi analyzed that he found a low-power communication device in Zheng Jun's backpack. It was very small, the size of a fingernail, and its function was very simple, which was to receive specific paging signals.

"It seems that there are many 'geniuses' who are short of money and resources. They all want to hunt me down, and they are equipped with special communication tools. I guess they have discussed the battle plan before they were deployed."

He played with the tiny instrument as small as a fingernail. Due to concerns about electronic pollution, it not only had low power consumption, but also only started up once an hour to send or receive paging signals.

"There are a total of twenty-six signals, rapidly approaching the entrance to the middle area. Including the team I wiped out, thirty-two people are working together to eliminate me in the outer area."

Qin Shi's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of danger. Just as he had said before, once a hostile red name appeared, he had to be eliminated decisively to avoid future troubles.

Since these contestants are willing to take money to do things and run errands for the Ying family, they should be mentally prepared to pay a price.

"Eliminating thirty-two people in one fell swoop means I have to clear out all the contestants in the outer areas."

Qin Shi held the perfect-grade electric saber. Fortunately, the weapon was strong enough so that it would not be cut into.

He only hoped that the leaders of the Wushu Association would not be prejudiced against him and regard him as a natural born killer.

Everything is just self-defense out of helplessness!

……

……

It was late at night in the makeshift command base, but the lights were on.

Chen Ruofu did not rest, his eyes were fixed on the screen, the light spots no longer moved, like scattered stars, surrounding a certain contestant.

From a God's perspective, Qin Shi was like a small fish swimming on the edge of a fishing net. He himself was completely unaware of it, but bystanders could foresee his fate.

"Old Chen, take a break. It's a pity that Qin Shi, whom your inspection department has been promoting, has hit the iron wall of Ying family."

Fang Butang and Chen Ruofu are old partners. Although they don't have close contact, they still have a good relationship.

The person that Tai'an Education Committee is betting on is Pei Han from Qiguang Hengda. After graduation, he will enter the Education Committee system and become a very promising new star representative.

In this wilderness trial, Pei Han's performance was very stable, and his points had already jumped to four thousand.

There were quite a few collected materials and eliminated alien creatures.

This means that the core area does not pose much threat to Pei Han.

"Ying family? It's just Ying Lin. If Ying family was willing to spend money, Hengzhou Top 100 Tournament would have been occupied by talents from Haizhou and Dijing long ago."

Chen Ruofu shook his head. He had privately debated with Senior Zhang from the Nanhuang Taoist Temple about whether to escort Qin Shi.

Senior Zhang believed that since Ying Lin was willing to spend the money, he should use it as a training for the Qin Dynasty, allowing the top students trained by major universities or government agencies to give full play to their talents.

Chen Ruofu knew that Senior Zhang was full of confidence.

Qin Shi, who did not think that he could defeat the top 100 contestants from Hengzhou, had just mastered the "Secret Book of the Universal Roasting Furnace".

But as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands.

A total of one hundred people were shortlisted, and fully half of them were secretly targeted. They also had to deal with the harsh environment and hidden dangers of the Great Rift Valley.

This kind of "experience" is too cruel.

All we can say is that the old martial arts school is becoming increasingly desolate and its roots are sparse, and there is a reason for that.

Chen Ruofu took a sip of the cold tea and frowned as he said:

"I believe that Xiao Qin's actual combat ability, if he breaks through the three limits, will definitely not lose to any of the top 100 players. However, these people are blatantly colluding with each other and using their numbers to bully the minority... This is a bit too much!"

Fang Butang sighed:

"Whatever his family background, he has known how to use the rules since he was born. He spends money openly and the contestants take the bait. What can you and I do? Tai'an is ultimately under the management of the Central City, and its independence is not that strong.

The representatives of the Education Department clearly support Zhou Yuanchen, and the Wushu Association is vague about its stance, and they don’t get close to Xiao Qin just because he is the successor of Nanhuang Daoguan. "

Chen Ruofu understood what Lao Fang meant and told himself to stay calm and not let it affect his mood.

On the one hand, Ying Lin suppressed the descendants of Nanhuang Taoist Temple, but as a direct descendant of the Ying family, it is impossible for him not to be aware of the relationship between Qin Shi and the Inspection Department.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that if Chen Ruofu expresses dissatisfaction or uses some means to interfere with the Top 100 Competition, he will probably fall into a trap, allowing Central City to find a reason to replace this tiger of the Inspection Department and re-strengthen control.

"Thanks, Lao Fang."

Chen Ruofu's face became solemn and he regained his alertness. No wonder Representative Zhou from the Education Department spoke so rudely. He probably wanted to deliberately provoke him and then do something irrational.

"Why are you being so distant? We are from the same boat."

Fang Butang slowly picked up the enamel cup and waved his hand, saying:
"It's too late, I have to go to bed. If the guy you value is smart enough, it would be a wise choice to withdraw from the competition. After all, there is still a long way to go..."

Chen Ruofu narrowed his eyes. Based on his understanding of Qin Shi, he was afraid that he would not make this choice.

Those people in the old martial arts school all emphasize bravery and diligence.

To use He Lanchan's words, "Whoever is cowardly is a grandson!"
As he was thinking, an alarm sounded like a buzzer. Chen Ruofu suddenly raised his head and looked at the screen.

Six spots of light went out one after another!

During the conversation between him and Fang Butang, the light spot representing Qin Shi moved quickly, like a deep-sea shark with its bloody mouth wide open, and ate the other six alive!
Fang Butang, who had already walked to the door, heard the noise and hurried back. Seeing that the six contestants were gone before they even had time to post their electronic markers, he smacked his lips and said:
"This guy killed several people at once. He was really ruthless!"

Chen Ruofu's originally tense and depressed expression suddenly cleared up and a smile appeared on his face:
"Let me take a look. Zheng Jun, Wen Han, Lin Kang... Wow, they are all contestants with a Central City background. It feels good."

Fang Butang's eyes wrinkled into a ball, and he was smiling happily, but soon the smile froze and turned into confusion and shock:
"Six of them are gone in the blink of an eye. The Education Department representative must be having a headache! Wait, what is this guy doing? Why is he running to the other side? Doesn't he want to rest at night?"

Chen Ruofu guessed what Qin Shi was thinking, gnashed his teeth as if he had a toothache, and said in a deep voice:
"It looks like we're going to do something big in the middle of the night to eliminate some of the threats."

Fang Butang couldn't help but scratch his hair and said in a slightly awkward manner:

"Are all the geniuses from the old martial arts faction so brave?"

……

……

Qin Shi held a few protein bars in his mouth, chewing them up and swallowing them. Thanks to the profound accumulation of the self-cultivation furnace, he quickly recovered to his peak condition.

Also, because the spirit is residing in the inner world and the mind is strong, only a very short period of deep sleep is needed to meet the needs.

He ran hurriedly, practicing the Hundred Aspects Refining Technique. His body seemed to blend into the air flow, like a gust of wind blowing across the cracked ground, blowing up the sand.

With the communication equipment provided by Zheng Jun, Qin Shi could easily locate the direction of the other team.

The dark and cold rift valley was filled with fog. Many strange plants emitted light, trapping food. There were also many pairs of green eyes hidden in the numerous caves.

During the dangerous night, Qin Shi gradually got used to it. He restrained his breath and slowed down his breathing rate. The old martial arts he learned from Lao Liang made him feel at ease and adaptable.

"Old Liang is worthy of being a former soldier. What he taught is really useful."

Qin Shi was not reckless and did not blindly push forward to show his presence. He bypassed several dangerous areas and finally arrived at the "camp" of the other team.

The mental power slowly spread out, covering the inside, and vaguely captured three or four auras.

"It's inferior to the team we just wiped out. There's only one person, and his strength seems to be okay."

Qin Shi Shen stayed in the interior of the cave. Observing from a broader perspective, the aura in the cave was fluctuating, and everyone seemed to be sleeping.

He was considering whether to attack with his knife or defeat them one by one when green light suddenly appeared in the dark rift valley.

The modified war mastiffs roared as if they were driven here.

Such noise naturally alarmed the team members on guard.

Whoosh whoosh!
The wind suddenly broke!

Three metal arrows flashed by like cold lightning and hit the heads of three huge war mastiffs. The powerful force sent them flying backwards!

“There are actually archers.”

Qin Shi was secretly shocked. In the wilderness trial called the Top 100 Competition, carrying weapons and protective gear was not prohibited.

Things like his perfect-grade electric saber, bullet-proof vests and stab-proof suits are normal.

However, archers who can use arrows are quite rare, and they have long-range attack capabilities. In an environment like the Great Rift Valley, they are no different from snipers.

"Fortunately I wasn't reckless."

Qin Shi was thankful, if he was entangled by several people, with the support of archers, he would probably have a headache.

He fixed his eyes slightly, looking in the direction of the pack of war mastiffs, trying to find the one who was driving them.

Not long after, a figure wearing strange black armor and nearly two meters tall appeared quietly.

The texture of his black armor was relatively soft, and it did not have the hardness of metal. Instead, it was like a layer of membrane, constantly flowing and revealing a dark luster.

From a distance, it looks like a black lotus!
The black-armored creature made a hoarse voice and threw something towards the cave. Its disheveled head rolled and fell into everyone's sight.

"You bunch of outsiders are disturbing my peace! You really don't know how to live or die!"

Hey, the final boss can actually move on his own?

Shouldn't he just stay in his lair and wait to be hacked to death by the "players"?
Qin Shi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the secret believer who posed the greatest threat in the outer area would choose to take the initiative in the face of so many contestants in the top 100 competition!

He put away the self-cultivation furnace and let it rest. Even though the other party was trying to steal his job, he decided to wait and see how it developed.

"It's Lao Zou's team! Captain, we are blocked here, what should we do?"

In the cave, it was like a stone causing a thousand waves, and the team members who were resting were woken up one after another.

"Old Zou and his men are so powerful, they shouldn't be easily wiped out by the secret believers."

Captain Wu Tao was holding a compound bow. He was gifted with night vision and could see the outside scene clearly even when standing at the entrance of the cave.

"More than 40 war mastiffs are very troublesome, and there is also a secret cultist. Fortunately, there is no war mastiff king, otherwise, we can only give up the competition."

Wu Tao thought for a moment, turned his head and said:
"Listen to my orders. If you can't handle it, prepare to release an electronic tag and call for help from the Wushu Association."

The composite bow in his hand was made of high-strength alloy and carbon fiber interwoven together. The pulleys on both sides of the bow arm were as precise as a clock. The upper and lower wheels were symmetrically distributed, and the wheel rims were engraved with fine teeth, like the spread wings of a bird of prey.

This is an extraordinary weapon!
"With 'Cang Lei' here, I may not be without hope of winning. As long as I create an opportunity, I can unleash the ultimate power of 'Tian Yu Shen Jian Liu'!"

Wu Tao was very confident. He had signed a contract with Ying's before participating in the competition and obtained this high-level "Cang Lei".

Firearms have a legendary ten-star classification, and so do bows and arrows.

However, in the era of the universe, the latter gradually withdrew from the stage of history and was far less eye-catching than those treasured source energy firearms.

"I was originally planning to use it on the successor of the Nanhuang Gym!"

Wu Tao's eyes were sharp, like an eagle's, fixed on the secret believer in black armor.

"The black membrane covering the outside and protecting the flesh and blood body looks very similar to the components of the Black Lotus Suit. It's really tricky."

While thinking about the battle strategy, he quickly drew his bow and shot arrows. His arm left afterimages like countless arrows pulling continuously, blasting the heads of the war mastiffs that tried to cross the line of defense and break into the cave!

In less than half a minute, more than half of the war mastiffs were killed or wounded.

"The Tianyu Divine Arrow School... is really a niche school. Only in places like Hengzhou, where hot weapons cannot be used easily, if it were other administrative planets, bows and arrows would have been eliminated long ago."

Qin Shi recognized that the other party's archery skills could be traced back to the imperial period of ancient Dongxia.

The most popular weapons at that time were swords, bows, lances, spears and halberds.

It is said that the oldest Dongxia would award the title of "Martial Arts Champion" to the bravest martial artist.

It tests archery skills, driving of magic machines, and weapons fighting skills.

There was a record in some unofficial history that said there was a martial arts champion who shot down the stars with his bow.

The Tianyu Shenjian style originated from this.
