Snowflakes drifted down from the sky. A silhouette stood in the snow like a mountain. His robes fluttered in the wind and he emanated an unparalleled pressure.
The group of criminals stared dumbfounded at the silhouette. A wave of panic spread through them. The dignified leader of the Martial Arts Grandmasters had actually been sent flying with a single blow.
They had never imagined that they would encounter such a situation just by surrounding a few youths.
Li Jiangcheng's body also trembled. He was so shocked that he could not speak. Mo Wen was actually so powerful. Just the aura that he emanated was enough to make it hard for him to breathe. It was laughable that Li Jiangcheng had tried to steal his points. That was simply seeking death!
Mo Wen had sent a Martial Arts Grandmaster flying with a single blow. Moreover, Mo Wen was so young. Even Li Jiangcheng, who had always been called a genius, was shocked by his talent.
This youth most likely had a chance of making it into the top ten of the Heaven List.
"Retreat!"
The leader of the Martial Arts Grandmasters did not hesitate at all. He flipped over and climbed up from the pile of rubble that he had smashed into. His silhouette moved like lightning to escape.
The felons that lived in the Red Stone Forest all had very strong survival abilities. This was not only reflected in their strength, but also in their vigilance at all times. They lived in dangerous environments all year round, so they were very sensitive to danger.
The moment Mo Wen attacked, the leader of the Martial Arts Grandmasters knew that he was definitely no match for Mo Wen. If he did not leave, it was very likely that he would die at the hands of this youth.
Mo Wen frowned slightly. He had not expected that these criminals would be so decisive. They had only just started fighting, but they had already fled.
Once the leader fled, the other criminals also scattered in all directions. It was almost impossible to keep all of them here.
Mo Wen only pondered for a moment before he furiously chased after the leader of the criminals. He no longer cared about the people who were fleeing in all directions.
Killing the criminals in the Red Stone Forest gave them corresponding points. Naturally, the corresponding points were different for criminals of different cultivations.
The lowest cultivation of the criminals who could be locked up in the Red Stone Forest was the Golden Elixir Realm.
Participants could get one point for killing a beginning stage Golden Elixir Realm criminal, three points for killing an intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm criminal, nine points for the later stage Golden Elixir Realm, and thirty points for the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm.
The higher one's cultivation, the more points they would get.
If he killed a first realm Martial Arts Grandmaster, he would obtain 300 points, which was ten times more than the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm. As for the Second Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, it was worth a thousand points. As for the Third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, it was worth five thousand points.
However, it was very difficult for the participants to kill ancient martial art practitioners of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Realm and Third Realm. Those who could be imprisoned here were all extremely vicious people. Their combat abilities were generally stronger than ordinary ancient martial art practitioners of the same realm. Killing a Martial Arts Grandmaster on the Savages List was far more difficult than killing an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
In the previous Heaven List Tournament, not to mention those in the second and third realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, even those in the first realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm were rarely killed. Sometimes, there would be several tournaments in a row where no participants managed to kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Mo Wen had abandoned the other criminals and only chased after the Martial Arts Grandmaster leader because the points for killing a Martial Arts Grandmaster leader were far more than the points for all the other criminals combined.
Li Jiangcheng recovered from his shock and looked at the empty surroundings in the blink of an eye. The criminals had all escaped and the youth had also chased after the Martial Ancestor. He could not help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, he had not immediately crushed the jade pendant like the youth before him. Otherwise, he would have already left the scene. He did not stay in the vicinity for long. He turned and found a direction to escape in. The criminals were afraid of the youth, but they were not afraid of him. If they saw that he was alone, they would certainly surround him again.
The leader of the criminals was rather fast. He was originally good at escaping and was also familiar with the surrounding environment. He moved with ease and in a moment, he had escaped more than ten kilometers.
"Fortunately, I am decisive and quick-witted. Otherwise, I would definitely have died at the hands of that brat. A youth is actually so powerful. It is simply unbelievable."
After the leader of the criminals escaped thirty kilometers, he thought that he had completely shaken off his opponent. He stopped and stretched out his hand to wipe away his cold sweat.
Just now, they had only exchanged blows for an instant, but he had been seriously injured. A wave of cold energy was wreaking havoc in his body, constantly destroying his organs and tissues. Fortunately, his cultivation was not low, and he was able to forcefully suppress that terrifying cold energy.
"The first prey I have set my eyes on is already so terrifying. My luck is too f * cking bad. In the previous Heaven List Tournament, it was most likely very difficult to encounter such a terrifying youth. What is going on this time? It seems like the people who entered are far stronger than the previous ones. "
The leader of the criminals' expression was extremely ugly. With the strength of the youth just now, if he had been placed among the previous participants, he would definitely have no problem ranking in the top three. He might even have been first. He didn't know if it was because his luck was too good that he was able to meet such a powerful expert so easily …
Pfft.
The leader of the criminals took a deep breath and slapped his chest. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a pool of blood. The blood contained a shocking cold Qi. When the hard red rocks on the ground came into contact with the cold Qi, they immediately turned into dust and were frozen into particles.
"What a terrifying cold Qi."
The leader of the criminals gasped. He had seen many Martial Arts Grandmasters who cultivated Cold Techniques. However, he had never seen anyone with such a terrifying cold Qi. Just now, he had only come into contact with it slightly. If the cold Qi had invaded his body in large amounts, he was afraid that he would have turned into dust immediately.
The youth's cultivation was not very frightening. At most, it was similar to the leader's. However, the cold attribute power contained in the Inner Qi had reached a frightening level.
Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would find it difficult to expel such cold Qi in a short period of time. He was prepared to find a secluded place to recuperate. However, he had only taken two steps when his legs suddenly froze. He suddenly realized that there was a silhouette in front of him. He did not know when the silhouette had stood there. There was no warning at all. It was as if the silhouette had appeared out of thin air.
"You … how did you do it?"
The leader of the criminals suddenly felt a chill run through his body. His voice was dry. He had not sensed the youth appear here at all. There had been no warning at all. He had thought that he had completely shaken the youth off his tail. If the youth had launched a sneak attack just now, he most likely would not even have had the chance to dodge.
Mo Wen looked at the leader of the criminals indifferently. A Martial Arts Grandmaster like him, who had once been on the Savages List, was indeed more powerful than ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters. However, he was only a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Mo Wen did not think much of him.
The leader of the criminals was dressed simply. He had a beast skin draped over him. He did not have much on him. He was no different from a barbarian.
The Huatian Palace had taken away all the belongings of the criminals who had been banished here. Ordinary clothes were rare, let alone magical treasures or magical weapons.
In the Red Stone Forest, all battles depended on one's own abilities. Their only weapons were their own hands.
Of course, the participants were no exception.
"Let me live."
The leader of the criminals also understood that it was impossible for him to escape from the youth. Even as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he was helpless against such a frightening person.
"If I let you go, I will lose 300 points for nothing. What good will that do to me?" The corners of Mo Wen's mouth curled up slightly.
The only way for the participants to take away the points of the criminals was to kill them.
Every Red Stone Forest criminal had a crystal embedded in their glabella. It was not an ordinary crystal. It was something special to the Huatian Palace. Once it was embedded in the criminal's glabella, it would be connected to the criminal's soul. Once the crystal was taken away, the criminal's soul would also disperse and be destroyed.
Hence, when the participants and criminals met, it was mostly a fight to the death. It was rare for them to work together. This was also a way for the Huatian Palace to prevent the participants from cheating in this way.
"If you don't kill me, I can be your subordinate. It will most likely not be easy for you to find the criminals in the Red Stone Forest. I know the people here very well. They are the best at hiding. It will be very difficult to find them using ordinary search methods."
"As for me, I have been imprisoned in the Red Stone Forest for more than 20 years. I am very familiar with this place. I even know the strongholds of many criminal groups. If you have my help, it will be much easier for you to search for prey in the Red Stone Forest in the future than other participants. Killing me will only give you 300 points. However, I can help you obtain tens of thousands of points. Also, I have a group of people under me. I can offer them to you later. "
The criminals living here were all cunning and ruthless. In order to survive, the leader of the criminals would betray his subordinates without hesitation.
The Red Stone Forest had always been a vicious place. The criminals there fought every day in order to survive, and there were deaths every day. Those who could survive were either people with profound cultivation or people blessed by luck.
"I am a little interested in what you have said. I can spare your life. However, if I find that you are not as valuable as I thought, I will still kill you, "Mo Wen said plainly.
Actually, he had also discovered that it was not easy for an outsider to move around in the Red Stone Forest. The criminals living in the Red Stone Forest were not kind. There were people with high cultivation. There were even second and third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm pinnacle strong practitioners.
Also, while chasing the leader of the criminals, Mo Wen also discovered that the Red Stone Forest was not simple. On the surface, it was just a huge red stone forest. However, he had only walked a short distance when he discovered a few rather dangerous places. These places were almost enough to threaten his life.
"Don't worry, Lord. You will not be disappointed."
The leader of the criminals bowed like a servant. He lowered his head and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
…
Mo Wen left with the leader of the criminals called Bao Xun. With the leader of the criminals leading the way, Mo Wen would certainly be able to save a lot of effort in searching for the criminals during the rest of the hunt.
Not long after the two of them left, a figure quietly emerged from a rock. Strangely, the rock was undamaged. There was not a single crack. It was as though the figure had fused with the rock.
"That youth is very bold to work with the criminals here. He is casting a long line to catch a big fish. Be careful not to be pulled into the river by the fish." The figure was blurry and seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. It was so illusory that it was like a dream. However, her voice was very pleasant and gentle like water. (To be continued.)
