Mo Wen sat where he was with a cold smile on his face. These felons were not fools. Each one was more cunning than the last.
He had discovered earlier that it would not be easy to find them in the Red Stone Forest because they were all hiding.
The felons had lived in the Red Stone Forest for many years and were familiar with the place. Once they hid, it would not be easy for the outsiders to find them.
Actually, when Mo Wen had discovered the fluctuations of the battle, he had also discovered many hidden auras approaching them. They had clearly been attracted by the fluctuations of the battle.
The auras contained a very strong killing intent. They were like ferocious beasts that ate raw meat and drank blood. People with such auras, especially in groups, were definitely felons imprisoned here.
That was why Mo Wen said that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The internal conflict between the two of them had actually planted a fatal threat for them.
Li Jiangcheng and Mo Wen finally understood what Mo Wen meant by the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Clearly, Mo Wen had discovered long ago that there were people lying in ambush around them.
Li Jiangcheng laughed bitterly. He finally understood from Mo Wen's expression that Mo Wen probably knew long ago that even if he let them go this time, they might not be able to stay in the Red Stone Forest.
The felons surrounding them were all extremely powerful. Their cultivation was at least in the Golden Elixir Realm. Moreover, they were all brave and skilled in battle. It was difficult for them to deal with one, let alone so many of them.
"I've caught three rats on the first day. My luck is indeed not bad."
A bald, burly man walked out from the crowd. He only wore a pair of animal skin pants and was bare-chested. His body was covered in tattoos and scars. His bronze-colored skin gave off a powerful aura.
Once the burly man appeared, a powerful aura swept out and pressed down on Mo Wen and the other two.
A martial arts grandmaster!
The burly man actually had martial arts grandmaster cultivation. He was clearly the leader of the felons around them.
"Hand over the jade pendant obediently and I can consider letting you live."
The bald burly man approached them step by step, constantly emitting a powerful aura that pressed down on the three of them. His footsteps were not fast or slow, but they were very heavy. Every step caused the ground to tremble slightly. It seemed to be a psychological pressure on them.
"This is the will of heaven."
The young man standing next to Li Jiangcheng sighed. He flipped his wrist and was about to crush the jade token to leave the Red Stone Forest.
He knew that in the face of such an encirclement, there was no way for him to survive. Only by withdrawing completely could he preserve his life.
He trusted Mo Wen, but he didn't trust these felons.
These felons were capable of anything. Once he handed over the jade token, he would most likely die in the next moment. These vicious felons had no sense of reason or credibility. He would rather withdraw from the competition than take the risk.
Moreover, once he lost the jade token, he would not be able to collect points in the future. Unless he could snatch the jade token from another participant, he would have zero points until the end of the competition.
"You want to leave? No way! "
The bald man's expression changed greatly when he saw that the young man was about to crush the jade token and flee. He took a step forward and suddenly pounced towards the young man.
If he ran away, wouldn't the fish in his hands fly away? The jade token was the life of these felons. They could not just watch as the young man escaped.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster went all out and appeared near the young man in an instant. A huge pressure enveloped the young man's head. At the same time, a hand reached out and grabbed the young man's throat.
How could a young warrior with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm block such a vicious Martial Arts Grandmaster? His body seemed to have sunk into a swamp. The aura was unbearable for him. Moreover, a hand was coming towards him at the speed of lightning. It was difficult to block.
He knew that it was already too late to crush the jade token. When he crushed the jade token, he would certainly die at the hands of this vicious criminal. As such, he had to escape first and find an opportunity to crush the jade token.
In the face of such a huge crisis, the young man calmed down. Those who could enter the Red Stone Forest were not ordinary people. All of them had experienced high-pressure trials.
Everyone knew that if they lost their composure now, they would very likely be killed by a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
When the bald, burly man pounced over and faced the mountain-like pressure, the young man suddenly bent over. Then, he rebounded and shot up. He actually managed to break through the bald, burly man's pressure.
However, this action of his was very dangerous. This way, although his neck had avoided the bald, burly man's attack, his chest was completely exposed to the bald, burly man.
"You're courting death!"
The bald, burly man's expression turned cold. He had not expected the young man to explode with such power at such a critical moment. He had actually managed to dodge his attack.
"Die."
The vicious criminal's expression turned fierce. The hand that he had extended changed direction and grabbed the young man's chest. It was as if he was prepared to pierce through the young man's heart and kill him in one blow.
Naturally, a dead person could not escape.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. The young man had already calculated the time. The moment he broke through the range of the pressure, he crushed the jade token. A white light lit up and enveloped the young man's body. The bald, burly man's palm collided with the white light. However, most of the force was forcefully dissipated. The attack that could have killed the young man in one blow only caused him to spit out blood and be seriously injured.
With a flash of white light, the young man completely disappeared from the Red Stone Forest, leaving behind only a pool of blood on the ground.
"Despicable, despicable to the extreme!"
The bald, burly man was so angry that he slammed his palm on the ground, creating a large crater. Dust flew everywhere.
A cooked duck had actually escaped right under his nose.
As criminals, it was indeed not easy to capture these competitors. They only needed to crush the jade token and they could be teleported away at any time.
Although there were many competitors in the Red Stone Forest, there were very few jade tokens that ended up in the hands of the criminals.
This was also why the Huatian Palace dared to offer five tokens to pardon the criminals. It was definitely not easy to obtain five jade tokens.
"Why aren't the two of you running?"
The bald, burly man suddenly turned his head and looked at Mo Wen and Li Jiangcheng. The two of them actually had no intention of running away. He could not help but grin hideously.
What he was most afraid of was the kind of people who ran away the moment they saw them. These kinds of people were usually very difficult to capture. However, these people who still had hope in their hearts and were not prepared to run away immediately were the kind of people criminals liked the most. Usually, these kinds of people did not run away at the beginning. In the end, they could not even escape even if they wanted to. Most of them would end up in the hands of the criminals.
Li Jiangcheng gripped the jade token in his hand tightly, ready to crush it at any time. However, he did not run away immediately. Instead, he involuntarily moved closer to Mo Wen. He did not see any panic or fear in Mo Wen's eyes. Both his expression and expression were rather calm. This meant that Mo Wen did not seem to be afraid of the criminals before him.
He did not want to lose this opportunity easily, so he decided to take another risk. At least for now, he had not lost all hope. Maybe a miracle would happen.
"Why are you running?" Mo Wen blinked his eyes. He sat on the rock without a care in the world. He did not even look at the criminals surrounding him.
"I like young talents like you who do not run away. How about we exchange a few blows? As long as you can withstand ten blows from me, I will let you go."
The bald, burly man laughed out loud and looked at Mo Wen provocatively. As a condemned prisoner, he understood the importance of giving his opponent hope. As long as there was hope, they would not give up easily. The reason he said ten moves was to create a false sense of hope for his opponent.
As expected, Li Jiangcheng's eyes lit up when he heard that. Although he did not know Mo Wen's exact cultivation, he was certain that Mo Wen was at least at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to subdue the two of them so easily.
Although it was still very difficult for an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm to withstand ten blows from a Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner, it was not impossible.
"But I don't want to run away. I just want your lives," Mo Wen said seriously as he shook his head.
"This brat is crazy enough. Meeting him, even I, Hu San, would not dare to say that I like to boast."
"Haha, this brat is quite ambitious. Could it be that he is eyeing the points that we have? As expected, he is not afraid of death."
"A brat who is still wet behind the ears actually dares to speak so arrogantly. I fear that the boss will kill him in minutes."
…
The surrounding criminals also laughed out loud and mocked Mo Wen. This youth was at most in his early twenties. It was impossible for him to be very strong. As serious criminals, they were all sinister and cunning people. Naturally, their eyes were very sharp.
"You want our lives?"
The bald burly man was stunned. Then, he suddenly laughed and said, "I like people like you who don't care about their lives the most. My life is right here. If you have the ability, come and take it."
"Then watch carefully. I will come and take it now."
Mo Wen's lips curled up into a smile. His silhouette disappeared from his original spot unknowingly. It was as though he had merged with the wind.
The bald burly man's eyes narrowed. What a profound technique. Just now, he had been dazzled.
A white silhouette flashed and Mo Wen appeared beside the bald burly man. He also extended a hand and grabbed the burly man's throat. That palm was completely black. A shocking cold Qi condensed and did not dissipate. It was as though the coldness of the entire North Pole had shrunk together.
"Child's play!"
The bald burly man did not feel any threat from that palm. He thought that Mo Wen's technique was only slightly superior and that there was nothing special about him.
Hence, he punched out, furiously crashing into Mo Wen's palm.
Mo Wen smiled coldly. His black palm suddenly exploded with a brilliant light. At the same time, a dark sun appeared between the two of them, furiously crashing into the bald burly man's body.
Rumble!
The black light shone brightly and a shocking cold Qi swept across the land. Everything within a ten-mile radius was sealed in ice. Large patches of snowflakes floated down. An unparalleled terrifying aura emanated from the black light, instantly suppressing the leader of the criminals.
Rumble!
A silhouette flew out and crashed into a huge rock, shattering the red rock into pieces.
The group of criminals felt their bodies turn cold. All of them were dumbfounded. The person who had been sent flying was actually their Martial Arts Grandmaster leader! (To be continued.)
