C38 Killing Three People in a Row(Part-2)
"You are courting death!" Witnessing their companion's miserable end, the other two young cultivators from the Tian family were filled with anger and embarrassment. They immediately drew their weapons and rushed toward Chu Zhongtian.
In their eyes, their friend wasn't killed because Chu Zhongtian was too strong. No! He was killed because Chu Zhongtian caught him off guard and insidiously attacked his vital spot. Believing themselves correct, they rushed toward Chu Zhongtian with all their might; this time, they were on full alert.
Chu Zhongtian stared at the duo rushing toward him without much change in his expression. Then, he stretched out his leg and kicked the long sword of the dead Tian Family disciple.
The long sword acted like a hidden weapon and rushed toward the Level-5 Qi Refiner. Chu Zhongtian jumped high into the air and executed the basic saber technique toward the Level-4 Qi Refiner using a fifth of his spiritual power.
Like the cultivator Chu Zhongtian killed in the Endless Forest, this Level-4 Qi Refiner also thought he could easily block Chu Zhongtian's saber technique with his weapon.
Sadly, he was unaware that a higher level didn't always equate to a higher power. Unexpectedly, the ordinary ten times refined weapon was able to withstand Chu Zhongtian's attack for a brief second. However, the might of Chu Zhongtian's attack was so frightening that it shattered his opponent's weapon and pressed on.
The steel blade finally slashed his opponent's scalp and left a disturbing stream of blood in its wake.
Even after having his head opened like coconut, the Level-4 Qi Refiner didn't die: he still had a breath left. So, Chu Zhongtian did not stop and kicked his chest.
The Level-4 Qi Refiner didn't even have the chance to scream before he fell to the ground and died. Meanwhile, the Level-5 Qi Refiner had just managed to dodge the long sword and was now standing three meters away from Chu Zhongtian.
The Level-5 Qi Refiner was utterly enraged after seeing the effortless slaughter of his last teammate. He roared furiously and used the Changsha Flying Swallow sword technique to attack Chu Zhongtian's arm.
In the face of his opponent's full force attack, Chu Zhongtian chose defense and dodged it. After his opponent missed his mark, Chu Zhongtian used the basic saber technique to engage his opponent's sword. At the same time, he delivered an egg-cracking kick to his opponent's groin.
Facing Chu Zhongtian's unexpected kick, the Tian Family disciple cursed in his heart and retreated helplessly.
When Chu Zhongtian saw his opponent retreating, he decided to take the offense and push forward. With his blade aiming for his opponent's heart, he rushed in.
"Damn it!" Each one of Chu Zhongtian's continuous attacks was aimed at his opponent's vital spots.
Despite not being as strong as Chu Zhongtian, the Level-5 Qi Refiner still had a higher cultivation level and battle experience. If not for his high cultivation level and experience, he would've long since died under Chu Zhongtian's blade.
If thatwas what Chu Zhongtian's opponent thought, he couldn't be fartherfrom the truth. After all, Chu Zhongtian wasn't just slightlystronger than him—he was actually overwhelmingly stronger. To be exact, sixtimes as strong since Chu Zhongtian had only used a sixth ofhis spiritual power.
As the steel blade made its way toward the Tian Family cultivator's heart, he couldn't help but feel despair. Since he had no time left to block it, he decided to divert it with his sword.
However,he underestimated Chu Zhongtian's reaction speed. Just as he wasabout to divert the steel blade, the blade suddenly turned and atacked hisright palm.
Since he used all his strength and focus to divert the blade from his heart, he couldn't guard his palm in time. So, now that the blade was rushing toward his palm, he could do nothing apart from seeing his palm getting stabbed by the blade.
Chu Zhongtian blade was a top-tier ten times refined weapon that Chu Fann personally sourced for him—it was insanely sharp.
When the palm and the blade collided, the blade cleanly severed the palm.
"Ah!" The cultivator from the Tian family immediately cried out in pain. After all, fingers had a direct connection to one's heart; losing half a palm was pure agony.
Chu Zhongtian couldn'tcare less about his opponent's pain, so even after severing hispalm, Chu Zhongtian didn'tstop. Chu Zhongtian twisted his wrist such that his blade'shandle was up and the blade itself down. Then, he used the same finishing movehe used to sever the first Tian Family disciple into two halvescleanly. Also, even killing all three of them in a row did not consume too muchof Chu Zhongtian's energy.
After his killings, Chu Zhongtian did not ransack the three corpses, nor did he bend over to harvest the Flower Tail Fox's core. Instead, he held his steel blade and ran to the east with all his might.
Milliseconds after Chu Zhongtian had left that spot, a sharp long sword stabbed his afterimage.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian fleeingwith all his might, the expert, who had delivered the sudden attack, looked athis back with a serious expression and said in a somber tone, "He isvigilant enough."
For some reason, maybe it was because he had lived two lives, Chu Zhongtian always felt that he was extremely sensitive toward danger. When he killed the three contestants from the Tian family, he felt a threat approaching.
However, he didn't know where the threat was. Only after killing the Level-5 Qi Refiner could he acutely sense the position of the threat. That was why he could react quickly and leave in time.
After fleeing for a few dozen meters, Chu Zhongtian turned his head and took a look. Then, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
The person who attacked just now was a member of the royal family, Qi Fengyun. He belonged to a branch of the royal family and was considered a genius due to his Level-6 Qi Refining cultivation. If they fought with all their might, Chu Zhongtian wasn't sure who would come out on the top.
Chu Zhongtian didn't flee because he was afraid; he retreated because he didn't want to attract the royal family's attention so soon.
Others might not know that he was that crippled-a-year-ago Chu Zhongtian, but Qi Yiloong knew. If he attracted the royal family's attention so soon, they would definitely hunt him till the end of this contest.
After all, a genius with peak Level-8 talent was a huge threat to the royal family. They would definitely kill him even if it meant getting slightly worse result in this year's Hunting Contest.
Among the people participating in this contest, besides Liu Yongjun and Wang Chao, Chu Zhongtian only feared a showdown with the royal family experts.
After fleeing for some distance, he realized that Qi Fengyun wasn't chasing after him, so he slowed down and took out his map.
After comparing directions for a while, Chu Zhongtian found that he was actually quite close to the location marked on the map.
It had only been three days since the Hunting Contest started; according to his initial plan, he had to spend more time increasing his combat experience. However, now that he was so close to the marked location, Chu Zhongtian decided to go and take a look first.
If there was a treasure that could increase his strength there, it would be of great help in the upcoming contest fights.
