Volume Three: Rising Fame - Chapter 104: The Final Destination 4

What does a score of one hundred even mean?

It means ninety-nine opponents!

How many participants entered this secret realm in total? At most, a little over eight hundred. Calculating every single one of them, they only managed to accumulate a substantial amount of points by taking advantage of the geographical terrain after the Final Land opened. Yet, once divided among four people, each person only held a little over twenty points.

Faced with the pressure from these four individuals, Wen Xiangxuan’s expression shifted instantly. "What are you even thinking? How could I possibly have one hundred points? If you want to find an excuse to deal with us, at least come up with a better one!"

Hearing this, the four of them paused.

Having been momentarily blinded by the sheer mention of the score, upon closer reflection, how could any team consisting of merely two fifth-rank cultivators possibly hold over one hundred points?

Qimo Junming glared fiercely at Qimo Jun. He knew his younger brother best; it was entirely possible that out of a desire for revenge, his brother would resort to such framing and entrapment.

"Off with you then!"

Qimo Junming waved his hand, signaling Wen Xiangxuan and the others to leave.

Not harming fifth-rank cultivators was an ironclad rule. All four of them knew that there must be other fifth-rank cultivators lurking in the surroundings. They needed to project a certain attitude to let those hidden figures know they had no intention of attacking fifth-rank cultivators, thereby preventing any backlash from the experts of other teams.

Therefore, even if there was only a single fifth-rank cultivator, they would not strike.

Their previous action against Xing Chengping had also been primarily aimed at forcing him back!

Rules were meant to be kept unbroken whenever possible. Once broken, those observing fifth-rank cultivators would inevitably unite for self-preservation, and might even take drastic countermeasures.

"You're always causing trouble! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!" Qimo Junming glared at Qimo Jun as he spoke. At this moment, he had to put on a show.

The other three were not his subordinates. Within such an egalitarian group, since his younger brother had stirred up this chaotic mess, he had to issue some form of punishment so the other three would drop the matter!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the other three nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm really not lying to you, I swear!"

"Really, how could I possibly joke about something like this?!"

Qimo Jun argued frantically. He knew very well that if Wen Xiangxuan and her group were allowed to enter the Final Land now, not only would he fail to avenge his recent humiliation, but he would also face severe punishment due to a lack of verifiable proof!

At this thought, he hastily cried out, "Brother, you have to believe me just this once! If I am lying, let me be struck by lightning!"

Could it be true?!

Qimo Junming hesitated.

However, this was the first time he had ever seen Qimo Jun utter such a vicious oath with such absolute certainty. After hesitating repeatedly, he still leaped forward in front of the pillar of light, blocking Wen Xiangxuan's path. "No offense, but please let me see your token!"

"What is the meaning of this?" Wen Xiangxuan’s expression changed as she attempted to step aside and slip into the pillar of light.

"I said, hand the token over for me to inspect!" Qimo Junming’s voice was icy cold, and he expanded his spiritual domain outward. The intent behind this was glaringly obvious!

"And what if I say no?" Wen Xiangxuan likewise unleashed her spiritual domain. Though slightly inferior in might, it laid bare her tit-for-tat stance.

This reaction only served to make Qimo Junming even more certain of the truth.

His good-for-nothing brother had not gone mad this time!

"Just a single glance won't do any harm, right?" Ying Sihan stepped forward as well, saying with a radiant smile, "We're not after your points, is even a single look too much to ask?"

Her gaze fell upon Wen Xiangxuan’s waist, her slender eyes narrowing slightly.

Since their ally had stepped forward, Guan Hongyi and Liangqiu Bin naturally refused to fall behind. Especially in the presence of what might potentially be one hundred points, greed burned brightly in each of their eyes.

"Are you really determined to see it?" Wen Xiangxuan demanded angrily.

"Just a glance, you won't lose a piece of flesh over it, will you?" Qimo Junming chuckled.

The more secretive they acted, the more heated his heart became!

"Hmph, you people keep changing your minds! I'm not going in right now after all; I'm going to wait until my eldest brother arrives before entering!" Wen Xiangxuan’s expression shifted, and leaving those words behind, she turned to walk away.

Before she had taken two steps, she was blocked once more.

"Don't be in such a hurry, beauty," Liangqiu Bin said coldly. "What is there about a token that's too shameful to be seen?"

What eldest brother?

What kind of pathetic excuse was that?

By this point, the four of them were somewhat convinced that the female before them undoubtedly held a substantial amount of points; otherwise, why would she be so guarded?

"She wasn't listed in any of the intelligence reports!"

The four exchanged glances, abandoning any reservations as they communicated telepathically. With this conclusion reached, their hearts grew even more at ease.

Since there was no record of her, she must be some lucky member of a minor clan who had unexpectedly broken through within the secret realm, right?

And her luck was truly extraordinary to have somehow acquired so many points!

"I'll say this one last time: let us see the token, or else—" Qimo Junming said coldly.

"Or else what?"

Panic flashed across Wen Xiangxuan’s face as she lowered her head and tried to force her way out.

"Boom!"

Qimo Junming struck first. Like pulling a single hair that moves the whole body, the other three immediately launched their attacks simultaneously as well.

Wen Xiangxuan and Xing Chengping soared into the air, attempting to force their way into the pillar of light. Yet, against four opponents who had long been on guard, their efforts were doomed to fail. However, at that exact moment, they abruptly changed direction and darted outward.

"Dammit, it was a feint!" Qimo Junming roared in fury.

All of them had been guarding against these two rushing into the pillar of light. If the pair had managed to slip inside, all their efforts would have been completely in vain.

Not only that, but instead of gaining an advantage, they might have ended up provoking a joint backlash from the observing fifth-rank cultivators!

"After them! Don't let them escape!"

The four were frantic with rage, but things having reached this stage, they had no choice but to give chase!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In mid-air, lights intersected, and a barrage of dazzling attacks erupted continuously.

Even though both of them chose not to counterattack and relied entirely on defense to maximize their escape speed, they still suffered severe injuries amidst the countless onslaughts.

"Step one was a success!"

Watching the chaotic exchange of attacks among the six figures, Li Yu felt a surge of pleasant surprise mingled with a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

"Hold your horses. If the distance isn't right, all our previous efforts will come to nothing!" Qing Yuan reminded him in a low voice from the side.

"I know!"

Li Yu replied, keeping his eyes glued to the battle unfolding in the sky.

True to being members of a minor clan, despite their desperate efforts, Wen Xiangxuan and Xing Chengping failed to reach the designated location before being surrounded once more.

It was evident that the two were still struggling to break out.

"Just a little more... just a little bit!"

"Step two is about to succeed!" Li Yu muttered under his breath.

He lowered his stance, fixing a dead-eyed stare upon the pair. Although the spiritual energy within him had not leaked out, it was already surging violently inside his body, waiting only for the right moment to make his move and take over the battlefield.

When that time came, the entire situation would be dictated entirely by him!

Sensing the moment, his eyes narrowed as a sharp gleam flashed through them. Li Yu shouted, "Now is the time!"

Before the echo of his voice had even faded, his body shot straight up into the air!
