Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Hunter and Prey! Two Thousand Points!
"The last person who said that is already dead."
Luo Cheng looked at Huang Tie, his tone indifferent.
"Haha, those trash, how can they compare to me!"
Huang Tie laughed heartily, stepping towards Luo Cheng, eyes filled with superiority and confidence: "I can kill you with a single punch!"
Luo Cheng shook his head: "All right, I’ve yet to have a proper fight with a Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer martial artist. Let’s see how my current strength fares against you."
"You, a mere weakling, think you’re worthy of fighting me? I’ll kill you in one punch!"
The gleam in Huang Tie’s eyes intensified to the extreme, his foot stepped forward, and he appeared right in front of Luo Cheng in an instant, not even using any Martial Arts, and punched fiercely.
Luo Cheng neither retreated nor dodged, casually meeting the punch with his own.
Bang!
The two fists collided, making a sound like thunder, visible ripples spread through the air.
Huang Tie grunted, uncontrollably flew backward seven or eight meters, blood trickling from his mouth, his entire right arm drooped by his side, unable to lift it.
"Impossible! How can you have such power! This must be at least six tiger strength, no! Seven tiger strength! You’re clearly only at Essence Energy into the Marrow, Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer!"
Steadying himself, Huang Tie’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
His cultivation was at the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer, primarily focusing on fist techniques, training his body brutally, his strength surpassing other martial artists of the same level, close to six tiger strength, yet still far inferior to Luo Cheng, how could he not be shocked!
Luo Cheng’s clothes fluttered behind him, standing still, he said indifferently:
"Show me your full strength then."
Huang Tie’s gaze flickered, stepped back half a step, pondered:
"Luo Cheng, what’s done is done. This time I underestimated you! I won’t trouble you anymore, we part ways here!"
Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow, smiled: "Do you really think you can still leave? If someone wanted to kill you and just said we part ways, would you agree?"
"You’re going to stop me?"
Huang Tie’s face darkened, coldly said: "Luo Cheng, although you’re strong, you’re only at Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer! If I fight desperately, you will suffer too! Right now on Qingyun Island, countless people are hunting you, if we both get injured, it will be you who suffers!"
"Less nonsense, if you can take three punches from me and survive, I’ll let you leave!"
Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed like lightning, he punched with a domineering force, it was the first move of the Heavy Mountain Fist Technique, Shaking Mountain!
"Damn it! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"
Huang Tie’s eyebrows arched upward, he roared, and his left hand clenched into a fist.
"Tribe River!"
At this moment, Huang Tie unleashed his full strength, displaying his most powerful fist technique, his clenched fist resembling a great cauldron, fiercely striking out.
Bang!
The air exploded, a ring of shockwaves swept out, stirring countless falling leaves.
Wow!
Amidst the fluttering leaves, Huang Tie’s figure shot back like a meteor, spewing a large mouthful of blood in midair, blood even oozed from the corners of his eyes!
"A Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer martial artist, is just so-so!"
Luo Cheng finally gained a clear understanding of his own strength.
Even without using the Meteor Sword, he could sweep through Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer martial artists!
"Luo Cheng, I was blind! I deserve to die! Spare my life! I don’t want to die!"
This punch shattered every bit of confidence Huang Tie had, along with his entire left arm, with a thud, he knelt down, pleading repeatedly with Luo Cheng.
Swish!
A flash of sword light penetrated Huang Tie’s chest, pinning him to the tree behind.
Huang Tie opened his mouth as if to speak, his hands grasping vainly at the air as if trying to catch something, finally dropping weakly.
"If only you knew it would come to this."
Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, sheathing his sword.
After devouring Huang Tie’s Martial Soul, Luo Cheng leisurely retrieved his Identity Token.
Now, he no longer feared being tracked down.
In fact, it would be better if he were discovered!
He wasn’t keen on killing, but if someone was set on a suicidal mission against him, then that’s a different matter altogether.
Be it the True Dragon Technique or breaking through realms, both required devouring Martial Souls!
Now Luo Cheng was no longer the prey, but the hunter!
By immersing the Identity Token in Huang Tie’s blood, immediately, the token displayed the number three hundred and forty-five!
"Good gracious, so many points!"
Luo Cheng was both surprised and delighted.
A Two-star Intermediate Demon Beast was worth only three to four points, meaning Huang Tie had slain over a hundred Two-star Demon Beasts!
Luo Cheng further scoured Huang Tie and found two bottles of Essence Energy Pills, at least nearly a hundred pills!
Some of these Essence Energy Pills still had drying bloodstains on them.
Clearly, these Essence Energy Pills were plundered by Huang Tie from other servant disciples.
"No wonder there are so many points. Who knows how many people he killed..."
Looking at these Essence Energy Pills, Luo Cheng felt the brutality of the Green Cloud Trial.
This made sense; plundering from others was far easier than hunting demon beasts and obtaining hunting points on his own.
Of course, that was provided you were strong enough!
Otherwise, you would end up like Huang Tie, doing all the work for others!
Apart from the Essence Energy Pills, Luo Cheng also found a manual on fist techniques.
The cover was somewhat damaged, only barely recognizable with the character ’Tribe’.
"I wonder what grade this fist technique is."
Luo Cheng recalled that punch from Huang Tie just now, the might was quite impressive, decided to study it thoroughly later.
The Heavy Mountain Fist Technique was only a Three-star Fist Technique, even if mastered to perfection, its usefulness to present Luo Cheng was already quite limited.
After putting away the secret manual, Luo Cheng glanced around, somewhat disappointed.
He initially thought that the commotion just now would attract people to come.
Unfortunately, none showed up.
"They must have all gone toward the center area of the island."
By now, it was already afternoon, several hours had passed since the Green Cloud Trial commenced.
Luo Cheng estimated that most people had already ventured deep into the island.
Looking towards the towering giant peak at the center of the island, Luo Cheng’s eyes were deep.
"I wonder where that Lin Jintai guy is. Since Elder He wants my life, I’ll kill his trusted disciple first! An eye for an eye!"
Luo Cheng’s tone was filled with killing intent.
He had always believed in settling old scores, and since Elder He wanted him dead, he naturally wouldn’t be polite!
With a flash, Luo Cheng slipped into the dense forest.
In the ancient forest, Luo Cheng’s figure moved swiftly as a ghost, heading toward the towering giant peak at the island’s center.
From his observation, the closer to the center of the island, the denser the demon beasts, and their level becoming higher.
Lin Jintai was one of the top ten contenders for the championship, surely he’d go to the central area to hunt!
Along the way, Luo Cheng didn’t remain idle, slaying every demon beast he encountered, devouring their Beast Souls.
During his journey, Luo Cheng also encountered many servant disciples.
Only a very few of them, upon seeing Luo Cheng, stayed unperturbed and lived in peace with each other.
Most people, upon sighting Luo Cheng, treated him just like Huang Tie did, seeing Luo Cheng as prey, wanting to kill him to gain access to the Outer Sect qualifications.
Dealing with these reckless fools, Luo Cheng naturally showed no mercy, all becoming corpses under his sword!
By the time Luo Cheng reached the outskirts of the central area, the number of servant disciples who died under his sword exceeded forty!
The hunting points they provided him alone approached a thousand points!
Luo Cheng estimated that his current total hunting points probably amounted to two thousand points!
