Chapter 511: The Hunt [Third Update]



Liu Wang had forgotten how to speak, terrified by the horrific strength that Li Xiaoyao displayed. Such power exceeded his capacity to endure. He casually picked up Liu Cai's storage ring and moved step by step slowly towards Liu Wang. "Bastard, damn it!" Cursing a few times, Liu Wang's hand holding the dagger slightly trembled as he turned and shouted, "Third, fourth, don't bother with him, come over and help me fast." The third and the fourth, upon hearing the explosion, immediately turned their heads to see the scene where Liu Cai was killed with a punch. Hearing Liu Wang's call, although they were scared, they still gritted their teeth and ran up. Liu Wang's face was gloomy as he said, "You two flank him from the left and the right, I'll take the front, now, do it!" The two didn't suspect any deceit and charged forward, stabbing at Li Xiaoyao from tricky angles with their swords in hand. In the instant the two lunged forward, Liu Wang pushed Nangong Ling'er to the ground and turned to run. Under ten times the gravity, Liu Wang unleashed unprecedented potential, reaching the limit his body could withstand. Within a few breaths, he had disappeared from sight. The third and the fourth heard the commotion, looked back, and saw Liu Wang had abandoned them and run away. They stared blankly for a few seconds, then furiously cursed, "Liu Wang, you bastard!" In a life-and-death situation, the vile nature of the human heart was undoubtedly exposed. Li Xiaoyao glanced at the fleeing Liu Wang with an expressionless face, his demeanor showing no excess fluctuation. Let him live a little longer for now. Withdrawing his gaze, he turned it to the faces of the third and the fourth. Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and seemingly simply and calmly threw two punches. Yet, such plain and unadorned punches gave the two of them an illusion of inescapability; the fists were like towering mountains, the oppressive aura making it hard for them to breathe, their bodies felt as though they were immobilized in that moment. "Bang! Bang!" Although the two punches came one after the other, they seemed to strike simultaneously. The heads of the two men burst like watermelons, life extinguished, their bodies stiffly fell backwards. After collecting the storage rings of the two, Li Xiaoyao slowly walked towards Nangong Ling'er, who was already stunned, and asked, "Are you all right?" "No... I'm fine." Nangong Ling'er looked at the man in front of her as if he were a monster, thinking to herself that such terrifying physical strength might be enough to rival her brother. "Miss Nangong, are you all right?" Xia Yu was also shocked by Li Xiaoyao's ruthless methods. After snapping back to reality, he immediately stepped forward, his tone concerned as he inquired. Nangong Ling'er shook her head and said, "Thank you." Although Xia Yu's arrival hadn't managed to save her, she appreciated the sentiment. "With such noises just now, I'm afraid it will attract demon beasts. This isn't a place to stay for long. Miss Nangong, we should leave quickly." Ordinary cultivators entering the Human Realm are no different from regular humans; facing powerful demon beasts, very few can put up any resistance. Nangong Ling'er shook her head without speaking, her gaze landing on Li Xiaoyao. Whether to go or stay was for him to decide. "Demon beasts?" A gleam of light flashed in Li Xiaoyao's eyes. The Human Realm itself was a form of trial, and beyond that, hunting demon beasts could also yield rewards. However, this reward wasn't very tempting for Li Xiaoyao, even the first prize was only a hundred thousand spirit stones and a fifth-grade pill medicine. Compared to that, the demon beasts themselves were more tempting to Li Xiaoyao. Demon beasts could be said to be treasures all over. Although the demon beasts of the Human Realm couldn't cast spells and were almost the same as wild beasts of the outer world, these demon beasts had always lived in the Human Realm and had been suppressed in terms of their cultivation levels. If the restraints on their bodies were released, their strength might reach a terrifying extent. "I'm going to hunt demon beasts, you guys should go first," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently. "Hunt demon beasts?" Xia Yu said, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know how terrifying the demon beasts here are? You think you're a disciple of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country? We are just ordinary people, it's enough to have a stroll in the Human Realm. Why hunt demon beasts unnecessarily? Isn't that just asking for trouble?" Li Xiaoyao glanced at him and said indifferently, "That's why I'm telling you to leave." Xia Yu's voice faltered, somewhat annoyed. He was clearly trying to help, but to be spoken to in this manner truly showed a lack of gratitude. "Miss Nangong, let's go. If we really attract demon beasts, it will be too dangerous," Xia Yu said. However, Nangong Ling'er shook her head, "I'll stay." "What?" Xia Yu was shocked, then anxiously said, "Miss Nangong, are you joking? Those are demon beasts we're talking about. We simply can't deal with them. Staying here is just waiting for death. There is no need for you to take this risk. Once we find young master Nangong, with his protection, we can hunt demon beasts then." "Mr. Xia Yu, first of all, thank you for standing up for me just now, but this is my decision, please don't interfere. If you want to leave, do so by yourself. I want to stay," Nangong Ling'er said with a slight frown, her voice soft yet resolute. Xia Yu opened his mouth, suddenly feeling that he couldn't understand this world anymore. What was going on? Why was everyone in a rush towards death? They had barely survived the encirclement of the Liu Family's four, and now they were going to hunt demon beasts. "Miss Nangong, take care then. If I encounter young master Nangong, I will make sure he comes as fast as possible," Xia Yu said, and with that, he took off running, fearing that even a second's delay might bring forth a demon beast. Li Xiaoyao looked at this woman with some surprise, but after thinking about it, he let it go. This woman came from the Nangong Family of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country; her cultivation level must not be weak, but her physical cultivation was not up to par. Even so, this woman certainly did not lack courage, a trait that Li Xiaoyao highly admired. "Aren't you afraid?" Li Xiaoyao looked at her and asked. Nangong Ling'er hesitated for two seconds, nodded, and said, "I'm afraid, but somehow, with you here, it doesn't seem so scary." Li Xiaoyao was at a loss for words, amused. He hadn't expected to possess such an ability that a girl he'd known for less than two hours would have such strong trust in him. "You don't need to be afraid. The demon beasts here are pretty much the same as wild beasts in the outer world. Here, they can't cast spells, and all attacks can only rely on brute force," Li Xiaoyao said as he flicked open his robe and took out a short blade, "The biggest difference between humans and beasts lies in the fact that humans can think, that they know how to use the right moment, location, and social conditions to their advantage." "Even a human with a small stature, as long as they are adept at using weapons and traps, can hunt wild beasts several times larger than themselves." Nangong Ling'er said, perplexed, "But, isn't it too late to make traps now?" Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "That was a metaphor. Making traps is the most basic way. We are cultivators. We can completely rely on our combat sense to hunt demon beasts at close range." "Close-range hunting, but my agility is quite ordinary," Nangong Ling'er said, looking down, somewhat embarrassed. "Chu chu~" Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to speak, there was a rustling in the dense forest in the distance, followed by what seemed to be a few trembles of the ground beneath their feet. Nangong Ling'er's face changed, while Li Xiaoyao looked in that direction with a slight smile on his lips, expressing interest, "Here it comes."
