Swoosh!
Swoosh! When the two figures flashed across the sky like lightning, Chen Zong's sharp ears could hear the subtle sound of wind breaking. The corners of Chen Zong's mouth curled up slightly. His pale face quickly turned rosy, and his body quickly became weak.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, as if he had fallen into a trap. However, he had already shown himself and had nowhere to hide, so he could only kill.
In front of them, a red sword radiance flashed, bringing with it a wave of scorching heat. It made the two Demon Hunters feel that the sword was aimed at them and that they couldn't dodge it.
When they wanted to defend themselves, they felt a tearing pain sweep through their bodies. The figure in front of them seemed to be constantly retreating.
No, it wasn't that person who was retreating. It was the two of them who were sent flying. Their chests were torn apart by the sword and were dripping with blood.
Strong!
Too strong!
With their strength, they couldn't defend themselves.
They weren't stupid. They immediately understood that the two of them thought that they were secretly following Chen Zong, but they had already been discovered. That was why Chen Zong pretended to fight the Single-Horned Black Demon to the death. His purpose was to lure them out.
Their guess was right. Chen Zong's purpose of showing weakness was to lure out the two Demon Hunters who were secretly following him. After stepping out of the Demon Suppressing Fortress and parting ways with Hua Wenjun and his sister, Chen Zong had a feeling that he was being watched.
The person who was following him was very experienced and secretive. It was difficult to detect. If it wasn't for Chen Zong's strong perception, he might have been tricked.
Even so, Chen Zong didn't know where the person who was following him was. He could only pretend to be weak to lure him out.
With a shake of his long sword, the Sword Qi pierced through the air and killed the Single-Horned Black Demon who was struggling to get up.
"Why did you follow me and sneak attack me?" Chen Zong asked in return.
The two injured Demon Hunters pulled a long face. Their faces were still indifferent, as if they were unafraid of death. They didn't say a word.
"Is it the person who was called Fourth Master Han today?" Chen Zong looked down from above. His eyes flashed with a sharp luster, as if he was unsheathing a long sword.
Chen Zong's words made the two Demon Hunters' pupils slightly tremble. Immediately, Chen Zong knew that his guess was right. It was indeed the Fourth Master Han who wanted to take liberties with Hua Wenqing and interrupted his comprehension. An intense killing intent couldn't help but surge in his heart.
"Where are you from? What's Fourth Master Han's background? "Chen Zong asked again.
Fourth Master Han deserved to be killed, but before that, it was necessary to investigate his background. Only then would they be able to make better arrangements.
"You want to deal with the Fourth master?" Suddenly, one of the Demon Hunters sneered, saying with a face full of ridicule, "We are all members of the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad, and the Fourth master is a relative of our vice-captain. Let's stop here and I will report it. At that time, our Demon Hunt Squad won't cause you any more trouble. But if you kill us, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad …" After muttering to himself for a few seconds, Chen Zong suddenly acted. With a shake of his Red Jade Sword, two Sword Qi pierced through the air, killing the two Demon Hunters.
If it was a relatively naive person or someone who lacked experience, perhaps they would believe the words of the other party, but Chen Zong wouldn't.
These Demon Hunters were all vicious and merciless. They weren't easy to deal with. If he let them go, not only would they not let this matter rest, it would probably worsen.
Taking a step back, even if the other party wanted to settle the matter peacefully, Chen Zong wasn't willing to.
Just the fact that he interrupted his comprehension was an irreconcilable enmity. This Fourth Master Han had to be killed.
With another slash of his sword, he cut off the Horned Black Demon's head. This was proof that he had to hand it over. Chen Zong rapidly searched the bodies of the two Demon Hunters, taking their mustard seed pouches and other items, before rapidly heading back to the Demon Suppressing Fortress.
"Brother Hua and Brother Jun's background is extraordinary, and their strength isn't weak either. They should be able to deal with a sneak attack." Chen Zong thought to himself, but he couldn't help but feel a bit worried. Immediately, his eyes flashed with an intense killing intent, "If anything happens to the siblings, I will slaughter the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad."
After getting along with them for a few months, Chen Zong already considered the Hua siblings as good friends.
On his return, Chen Zong was even faster. Once again entering the Demon Suppressing Fortress from the west gate, Chen Zong headed straight for the Demon Hunting Hall.
The Hua siblings still hadn't returned.
Chen Zong headed to the Demon Hunting Area, taking out the Horned Black Demon's head and handing it over.
"It's indeed the Horned Black Demon's head. It was killed not too long ago …" After verifying it, the Demon Hunting Area smiled.
The Demon Hunting Hall naturally had its own methods to verify if it was killed by a single person, if it was killed recently, and so on, to prevent cheating.
After passing the verification, Chen Zong became an official Demon Hunter, receiving the exclusive symbol of an official Demon Hunter. It was a black crescent insignia with a blood star on it, as well as a booklet introducing Demon Hunters.
This insignia was called the Demon Hunter Seal. Not only was it the symbol of an official Demon Hunter, it was also a treasure used by Demon Hunters to communicate and record their contributions.
Dripping his blood to become its master, Chen Zong established a close connection with the Demon Hunter Seal. Only the Demon Hunter himself could use it. If he was killed, the Demon Hunter Seal would become an ownerless item, and others wouldn't be able to use it, because the Demon Hunter Seal would already be crippled.
This method was also to prevent people from taking risks for merit points by killing other Demon Hunters to steal their merit points.
The Demon Hunter Seal wasn't big, and it was made of an unknown metal. It felt cold when he held it in his hand, like water, spreading from his palm to every part of his body. Chen Zong couldn't help but shiver, feeling energized.
He exerted force with his fingers, but the Demon Hunter Seal was unexpectedly hard.
One had to know that Chen Zong's arm strength had reached 350,000 pounds. It was extremely terrifying.
10% of his strength!
20% of his strength!
30% of his strength!
40% of his strength!
50% of his strength!
The Demon Hunter Seal didn't budge.
Chen Zong didn't continue to try, but instead, he immersed his mind into it.
Name: Chen Zong, Level: One Star Demon Hunter, Contribution: 0, Connection: None.
The content was simple.
Chen Zong studied the Demon Hunter Seal and information related to Demon Hunters while waiting for Hua Wenjun and his sister to return.
Demon Hunters were divided into Seven Stars and Titled Demon Hunters. One Star was the lowest, while Seven Stars was the highest. Titled Demon Hunters were higher than Seven Stars. The promotion method was also very simple, which was to earn Contribution Points. When one's Contribution Points reached a certain amount, they could apply for promotion in the Demon Hunter Hall's Demon Hunter Area.
The Contribution Points needed to promote from One Star to Two Star was 1000 points. Killing a Common Level Demon would give one to six Contribution Points. After all, there were strong and weak Common Level Demons, and they were divided into six levels, which corresponded to the Seven Stars, Eight Stars, Nine Stars, and the first, second, and third levels of the Pseudo Transcendent Realm.
Killing a Low Level Demon would give ten to a hundred Contribution Points.
Killing a Mid Level Demon would give one to ten thousand Contribution Points.
Killing a High Level Demon would give one to a hundred thousand Contribution Points to a million Contribution Points.
As for how to determine a demon's level and obtain the corresponding Contribution Points, it was determined by the Demon Hunting Seal. In other words, after killing a demon, the Demon Hunting Seal's aura would be activated and come into contact with the demon. It would then make the relevant judgement and increase the corresponding Contribution Points.
This was because most of the Underground Demons had been recorded. Their appearance, aura, strength, and so on could be found. Every Demon Hunting Seal that recognized its master could be connected to the records of the demon.
If one could find a demon that had not been recorded, they would be able to obtain Contribution Points according to the demon's level. The rewards were quite generous.
"Brother Chen." A voice sounded. Chen Zong looked up and saw the siblings Hua Wenjun and Hua Wenqing striding over. He let out a sigh of relief and let go of the worries in his heart.
"I've already obtained the Demon Hunting Seal." Chen Zong said as he flashed the Demon Hunting Seal in his hand.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen. Let's go turn in the mission first. We'll talk about it later." Hua Wenjun smiled. The siblings had also killed the corresponding Underground Demons.
Not long after, the Hua siblings also obtained Demon Hunting Seals and became official Demon Hunters. Their level was the same as Chen Zong's, one star.
"Brother Chen, did you encounter an ambush?" Hua Wenjun asked seriously.
"So you were also ambushed?" Chen Zong asked back. His gaze swept past Hua Wenjun and Hua Wenqing's faces, and the two nodded at the same time.
"Ambushing the three of us is definitely related to that person." Hua Wenjun said, a gloomy look flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Chen Zong knew that the person Hua Wenjun was talking about was precisely Fourth Grandfather Han.
"It is indeed directly related to this person." Chen Zong said, "This person is a member of the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad, and has a certain status."
Clearly, although Hua Wenjun and Hua Wenqing dealt with the ambushers, they didn't force them to reveal their identity.
"The 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad." Hua Wenjun's expression immediately became serious, as if he knew about this 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad.
"Brother Chen, for the establishment of a Demon Hunt Squad, the first requirement is that there must be at least five people."
"The second requirement is that one of them must be a Demon Hunter of at least four stars."
"The third requirement is that they must complete a very difficult mission."
"Only by fulfilling these three requirements can a Demon Hunt Squad be established."
Hua Wenjun's words implied that Demon Hunt Squads were not simple, and had great strength.
The first requirement was the simplest, requiring five people. But the second and third requirements were comparatively more difficult.
Chen Zong didn't have a clear idea about the difficulty of the third requirement, but the second requirement was that they had to be at least four stars, which was really not easy.
To advance from one star to two stars, one thousand contribution points were required.
To advance from two stars to three stars, ten thousand contribution points were required.
To advance from three stars to four stars, one hundred thousand contribution points were required.
With 100,000 merit points, he would need to kill at least ten peak mid-grade demonic beasts. And peak mid-grade demonic beasts were equivalent to emperors.
"Demon Hunt Squads are also divided into grades, from the lowest to the highest, soldier grade, general grade, and monarch grade. There are over a hundred soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads."
"A few years ago, when I came here, I heard about the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad. At that time, it seemed to be a general grade Demon Hunt Squad."
A general grade Demon Hunt Squad meant that within the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad, there were at least five star Demon Hunters, and many Earth Spirit Realm powerhouses. As for whether there were any Sky Profound Realm powerhouses, that was unknown.
But any Earth Spirit Realm powerhouse wasn't something the three of them could contend against.
"Brother Hua, what are your plans?" Chen Zong was astonished at the strength of the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad, but didn't show the slightest fear.
