In the secret territory, Lin Huang, who had killed Stitch, was still hunting.
What was different from other hunters was that his subsequent hunting targets had all become third-rank Heavenly God prisoners.
In the eyes of the other participants in the secret territory, successfully hunting down a third-rank Heavenly God prisoner might have been luck. However, when they saw Lin Huang's hunting points skyrocket by 400 points for the second and third time, they finally understood completely.
Only then did they completely understand that Xiu Mu truly possessed such strength, and there was no element of luck involved.
The many Heavenly God team leaders watching the battle from outside also saw it clearly and basically confirmed that Lin Huang's ability was almost at the level of a top-tier third-rank Heavenly God.
However, what they did not know was that what they saw was, in fact, only what Lin Huang wanted to show them.
In the secret territory, several top-tier True God powerhouses also began to step into the territory of second-rank Heavenly God prisoners one after another under Lin Huang's continuous provocation, starting a brand new challenge.
However, their hunts were not nearly as smooth as Lin Huang's.
On one hand, they did not possess the ability to crush their opponents. On the other hand, the prisoners in the secret territory had the geographical advantage. Almost every hunt was a battle of wits and courage between them, which took a long time.
Apart from Lin Huang, the fastest top-tier True God powerhouse to complete a second-rank Heavenly God hunt took more than five hours. This did not include the time spent searching for traces of their opponents and on the road.
Among the top-tier True Gods, there was even one unlucky fellow who happened to encounter a second-rank prisoner who countered him. After a fierce battle that lasted nearly ten hours, he finally had no choice but to flee in defeat.
Just as the Trial Takers were cautiously hunting down prisoners to obtain points, a voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Huang's hunting points had long since surpassed everyone else, leaving them far behind.
The number of rules and god sequence chains in his inner world had also skyrocketed.
On the fifth day after entering the secret prisoner territory, the number of rules in Lin Huang's body had skyrocketed to more than seven hundred thousand, and he was getting closer and closer to breaking through to fourth-rank True God.
After hunting down a third-rank prisoner, as usual, Lin Huang checked the number of Rule Bending Points that had increased in his body, then put the corpse away. He sped towards his next destination.
But this time, halfway through the flight, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
This was because within the range of his Divine Telekinesis, there were two auras at the location of the target.
One of the auras was at third-rank heavenly god-level, so it was obvious that it was the target.
As for the other aura, Lin Huang was also not unfamiliar with it. Before entering the secret territory, he had even met the other party before.
Lin Huang did not slow down, nor did he change his route. He continued on his original route.
Outside the secret territory, the Heavenly God team leaders all had different expressions.
Many of them stole glances at Zang Tian.
This was because the person Lin Huang was about to encounter was none other than Death's Scythe's Virtuoso.
None of the Heavenly God team leaders noticed when Virtuoso had run off to the Heavenly God territory.
Almost all of the Heavenly God team leaders only realized that someone had appeared beside the prisoner when Lin Huang had locked onto his next target and his flight route had begun to become clear, when they went to check who Xiu Mu's next hunting target was.
What puzzled the Heavenly God team leaders even more was that Virtuoso was standing less than two meters away from the third-rank Heavenly God prisoner, yet he was not attacked.
It was as if the third-rank Heavenly God could not see Virtuoso, completely ignoring his existence.
This strange scene puzzled the group of Heavenly God team leaders.
In fact, everyone present had heard of Virtuoso's name. They knew that in terms of talent and potential, this fellow was above Zang Tian's.
None of the assassination missions that Virtuoso had accepted in Death's Scythe had failed. All of his assassination targets would die inexplicably, and it was rare for them to die the same way.
However, no one knew what Virtuoso's abilities were, and no one had ever seen their true appearance. No one even knew whether they were male or female.
There were even grade-6 and grade-7 organizations who had tried to investigate, but to no avail.
It was as if this fellow Virtuoso had appeared out of thin air, and no trace of his past could be found at all.
As time went by, everyone gave up on wasting any more time on him.
However, everyone knew that Death's Scythe had such a mysterious fellow with shocking potential who had the extraordinary potential to become a Lord.
Although the many Heavenly God team leaders present did not know much about Virtuoso's background, they were no strangers to what they had done.
Virtuoso was only a true god-level White Sickle in Death's Scythe, but they had already killed more than twenty Heavenly Gods.
Among them, there were even a few second-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses.
Therefore, no one had any doubts about Virtuoso's abilities.
If not for Xiu Mu's sudden appearance, Virtuoso would undoubtedly have been a strong contender for the top spot on the Gold Leaderboard.
Now, Virtuoso had suddenly appeared next to Lin Huang's hunting target. This was clearly not a coincidence.
Zang Tian could not help frowning when he saw Virtuoso's sudden appearance in the surveillance footage.
This was also the first time since the secret prisoner territory had been opened that he had shown any visible signs of emotion in front of everyone.
"This fellow Virtuoso … I've warned him repeatedly, but he still chooses to do things his own way …"
Inside the secret territory, Lin Huang and Virtuoso soon encountered each other.
Seeing that Virtuoso was standing calmly next to the Heavenly God prisoner, and that the prisoner did not seem to have any intention of attacking them, Lin Huang was not particularly surprised.
He had already heard of Virtuoso's name when he had first joined Death's Scythe as Xie Lin.
He had even seen the photos and autopsy reports of the targets Virtuoso had killed. All of them had died very strangely. At that time, he knew that this fellow Virtuoso possessed an extremely strange ability.
As Lin Huang was sizing Virtuoso up, Virtuoso was silently sizing him up as well.
The Heavenly God prisoner, on the other hand, was overlooked by the two of them.
However, the strange thing was that the Heavenly God prisoner remained standing where he was, choosing to ignore the two of them who were very close at hand.
"It looks like you've been waiting for me?" Lin Huang was the first to break the silence.
"That's right." Virtuoso's voice was still indecipherable. "I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
Lin Huang did not think that Virtuoso had been waiting for him here for a long time. Virtuoso's words made it sound like they had been waiting for him outside the secret territory, or perhaps even earlier.
"We're face-to-face now. Don't beat around the bush if you have anything to say." Lin Huang had never liked talking to people who had hidden meanings. "What do you want to do? Just say it."
"There are so many people watching outside. Are you sure you want me to say it?" Virtuoso paused, and the last two words were spoken directly into Lin Huang's ears through voice transmission. "Xie Lin …"
Lin Huang's pupils contracted slightly. He had not expected that his identity would be seen through by Virtuoso.
"Tell me your real purpose."
After only a brief moment of surprise, Lin Huang quickly regained his composure, but the expression on his face remained cold.
"If you want to know my real purpose …" There was a hint of mockery in Virtuoso's voice, "Play a game with me first."
