The man who blocked Xia Fan's way looked less than 30 years old. He had the appearance of a fox. His skin was very white, his eyes were curved, and the corners of his mouth were upturned.
Xia Fan remained calm and expressionless. This was one of the reasons why he pretended to be a Barren Creek man. Not only did Xia Fan pay attention to the expression on his face, but he was also very careful when he spoke. If there was no need, Xia Fan would keep his mouth shut.
The fox-like man looked in the direction that the Sacred Alliance superhumans had escaped in. He turned his head and looked at Xia Fan. Then, he gently opened his shirt to reveal the God Slaying Society's badge.
His actions looked very natural, as if he did not have the slightest bit of concern.
The God Slaying Society was a wanted criminal of the Three Major Alliances. For them to reveal their identity so openly in the Outer Realm was something that ordinary people in the Inner Realm could never imagine.
Xia Fan still did not smile, but he was really shocked.
The God Slaying Society was really everywhere. It was possible that his actions just now had been seen clearly by them. However, he did not know why these people from the God Slaying Society had blocked his way and what exactly they wanted to do.
The fox-like man observed Xia Fan. Suddenly, he smiled and asked Xia Fan, "Are you Old Yu's nephew? From the Barren River? "
Xia Fan did not answer. He nodded lightly.
The fox-like man shrugged. "As expected, only you people from the Barren River would be so ruthless. You even dared to kill people from the Sacred Alliance. However, I have never heard of Old Yu having such a powerful nephew. Could it be that Old Yu has been hiding you all this time?"
Xia Fan thought to himself, Does this count as a background check?
Before Xia Fan could speak, one of the Eight Guardian Deities, Yu Teng, said in a low voice, "My cousin just came from the Barren River to the Shadow Mountain Outpost yesterday."
"Forget it. It's not like I don't know about Old Yu's family. Cousin? I don't think there are many of you with the surname Yu, right? To put it bluntly, you are just a group of dogs that bite people on behalf of Old Yu. "
"However, whether or not you are Old Yu's dogs has nothing to do with me. I just think that this guy is quite powerful, so I asked him if he was interested in participating in our organization's King of Superpowers Battle."
"Although this fellow clearly hasn't received good training and his movements are very rash and lacking in technique, he is still a speed-type after all. Judging from your performance just now, your speed should have reached more than 500 meters per second, which is more than enough to participate in our King of Superpowers Battle."
"What do you think? Do you want to think about it? If you don't understand what the King of Superpowers Battle is, you can ask Old Yu. That old thing should know. "
Before the fox-like man could finish his sentence, he squinted strangely because he saw Xia Fan reach out a hand.
It had to be said that the magical skin created by the Faceless Clan was truly terrifying. Xia Fan's hands were not only dark, but there were also obvious scars and cracks. He looked as if he had just crawled out of hell.
Moreover, this pair of rough and scarred hands was actually so real, without any flaws.
The fox-like man frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Money," Xia Fan said in a hoarse voice. "As long as you give me money, I can kill anyone."
The fox-like man was slightly stunned, and then as if he had heard a very funny joke, he laughed out loud.
"I'm dying of laughter. You really are a bastard from the Barren River. Don't tell me that in your eyes, the King of Superpowers Battle is for you to kill people? Is your brain filled with paste? "
"Forget it. Anyway, a barren River boor like you won't understand anything I say to you. You just want money, right? Take it."
With that, the fox-like man gave Xia Fan a level-3 energy crystal and an alloy pendant with the symbol of the God-Slaying Society that looked like a button.
"Look carefully, this is your proof of participating in the King of Superpowers Battle. Don't lose it. I still have to choose other warriors at the Shadow Mountain Outpost. When the time is up, you will come with me. My name is Griffin, understand?"
The fox-like man explained everything to Han Tang as if he was talking to a fool.
Han Tang didn't expect that he would get the ticket to participate in the King of Superpowers Battle so easily. Perhaps the sudden incident just now made the people from the God-Slaying Society believe that Xia Fan was a real Barren River person. After all, if he was a spy from the region, he would never attack the investigators of the Sacred Alliance. Xia Fan killing the investigators of the Sacred Alliance had dispelled all the concerns of the God-Slaying Society.
After Griffin told Xia Fan what to do, he prepared to leave. Strangely, he didn't seem to care about the appearance of the investigators of the Sacred Alliance in the Shadow Mountain Outpost.
Xia Fan pulled Griffin back again.
"You are so annoying. What do you want now?" Griffin asked, a little annoyed.
Xia Fan shook the button with the symbol of the God-Slaying Society and then stretched out two fingers, indicating that he needed two of these things.
Griffin didn't understand and asked why Xia Fan needed two. Xia Fan pointed to Fu You, who was standing behind him, and said, "He is my brother."
.....
In the end, Griffin gave Xia Fan two sets of certificates. Then, Xia Fan and Old Yu's nephews returned to the store together. The way back to the store happened to be the route that the investigators of the Sacred Alliance escaped.
After turning a corner, Xia Fan saw corpses. They were the corpses of the people from the island zone.
Xiaowu, whose neck had been broken by Xia Fan, was lying on the ground. Next to him were his companions. All of them were lying in a pool of blood. Their hearts were pierced by a cold weapon that looked like a triangular blade.
There were six corpses. Only the weird woman with a knife in her hair escaped.
Xia Fan suddenly understood why Griffin, as a member of the God-Slaying Society, wasn't worried at all when he found out that there were investigators of the Sacred Alliance in the Shadow Mountain Outpost.
It turned out that while Griffin and Xia Fan were talking, there were already people from the God-Slaying Society chasing after these unlucky young people.
Xia Fan felt a trace of fear. The power of the God-Slaying Society in the extraterritorial region might be more powerful than he had imagined. They could easily assassinate the investigators of the Sacred Alliance in broad daylight. He could imagine what would happen if he and Fu You were exposed.
Bang!
Xia Fan was expressionless. He kicked a corpse that was blocking his way to the side of the road and returned to Old Yu's shop. A bad feeling rose in his heart.
.....
To Xia Fan, it was a simple matter to determine if he was being monitored. All he needed to do was to use his superpower of smell and all the scents within a 500-meter radius would be clearly transmitted into Xia Fan's olfactory system.
The sense of smell was not a powerful combat superpower, but it was very magical. Even if there was a bug in Xia Fan's room, there would still be a special smell left behind. This smell could not escape Xia Fan's eyes.
After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Xia Fan expressed his concerns to Fu You.
"Too easy?" Fu You frowned when he heard Xia Fan's words.
Xia Fan nodded gently. "That man named Griffin easily gave us two tickets. He didn't seem to care too much about it. I'm a little confused about this, so when the preliminaries begin, I plan to go and have a look."
Fu You said, "I'll listen to you. Anyway, I'm just your follower this time. Since you feel that something is wrong, let's go and have a look."
A few days later, Yu Jiang finally returned from the hospital. As Old Yu had been warned by Xia Fan, he took good care of Yu Jiang. He specially found two nephews to accompany Yu Jiang and pour him tea.
At the same time, the preliminaries of the King of Superpowers Battle had also begun. This was a secret, but it was an open secret to the whole city.
Xia Fan was in Old Yu's shop every day, and he could hear the chatter of many customers. Almost all of them were talking about the King of Superpowers Battle, the attractive prize money, and the news of which man had participated in the selection and had been chosen.
Xia Fan and Fu You went to the selection venue. It was a martial arts club in Shady Mountain Sentinel. Although there was no sign to indicate that there was a selection of superpower warriors here, the locals all knew about it, and many even went to watch.
Xia Fan and Fu You entered the martial arts club easily because they had already obtained the admission tickets. Once again, they saw the cunning man named Griffin.
Griffin and several people who were obviously members of the God Slayer Society sat under the ring. As long as they nodded, the people in the martial arts club would give the certificate of entering the finals to the warriors who came for the trial.
When Griffin saw Xia Fan, he nodded at him gently. Then, Griffin turned his face and said something to a short and fat man next to him. The short and fat man also looked at Xia Fan from afar, but he did not take the initiative to talk to Xia Fan.
Xia Fan pretended to be watching the fun. After staying in the martial arts club for about an hour, he got up and left.
When they left, even Fu You, who had always been careless, had already noticed that something was wrong.
Fo You whispered in Xia Fan's ear, "We've been watching for a while, and more than a dozen people have been selected. This is ridiculous. The people from the God-slaying Society want almost everyone. As long as they have a little bit of superpower, they will be selected. They claim that they want to select the king of superpower in the eight major galaxies. Why would they bring so many warriors who obviously have no superpower to the scene?"
Xia Fan frowned. He was also worried about this matter, but Xia Fan could not figure out the reason why the God Slayer Society was so desperate.
With the level of the God Slayer Society, they would not accept just anyone. Ever since they came to the Outer Star Regions, they had not recruited many members from the local area. Most of the members of the God Slayer Society were still mainly from the Inner Star Regions.
Perhaps it was to keep it a secret, or perhaps they looked down on the combat power of the people from the Outer Star Regions. Anyway, the God Slayer Society had been carefully developing in the Outer Star Regions and had never recruited new members with great fanfare.
