Xun Wu You's luck was truly abysmal. He was assigned the most arduous task upon arrival, encountering a mastermind just as he stepped out. Among the Xianmo series, those who could face off against Ni Shen Yang and Gui Qi Zhu were few and far between.
Even if Xun Wu You had a cheat, at best he could barely protect himself. The Power Dan from the system roulette was a drop in the bucket, giving him no time to prepare.
He had the backing of the number one expert in the world, but the problem was that this top expert couldn't leave the Hao Zheng Wu Shang Dian.
He was essentially entering the world alone, existing in the cracks.
“Interesting,” Gui Qi Zhu chuckled, his voice deep: "How can the Confucian School have someone as crude as you?"
Those who adhered to the Confucian School, which revered ancient sages, were all learned and refined.
There were arrogant ones and aloof ones, but none had ever cursed.
"Alright, I'll play with you. Let's see how long you can run!"
His confident words showcased Gui Qi Zhu's unwavering assurance.
Foundation, cultivation, and physique – Gui Qi Zhu surpassed Xun Wu You by several leagues.
If they continued this chase, Xun Wu You would be the first to exhaust himself, after all, his cultivation was limited.
However, there was one thing Gui Qi Zhu had miscalculated. Xun Wu You's cultivation would definitely be able to sustain him.
The daily minimum participation prize on the roulette was the Power Dan. It wasn't a mere decoration, and it was getting stronger each day.
If he chased for a couple of months, Xun Wu You could enter the peak of the Innate Realm. At that point, he'd have the confidence to face Gui Qi Zhu head-on.
Xun Wu You sprinted like thunder and lightning, the wind stinging his cheeks, the scenery outside blurring and receding.
After running another three hundred miles, an unexpected sight occurred.
The Huang Tian Zhi Xing that Xun Wu You had diligently cultivated for twenty years surged through his body, coursing through every meridian like a raging torrent, crashing left and right.
His all-out sprint was akin to throwing a lit match into a gasoline tank.
The Huang Tian Zhi Xing activated, his speed increasing exponentially, he blazed through a canyon.
The dust kicked up by his feet was like a ferocious yellow dragon.
Gui Qi Zhu was secretly alarmed: "Worthy of being Lin Tian Xing's disciple. This kid is young, but his foundation is incredibly deep."
A day ago, he could easily chase after Xun Wu You.
But tonight, when he tried to chase again, the distance between them was closing at a snail's pace.
“No wonder Lin Tian Xing sent him into the world!” Gui Qi Zhu muttered: “He’s trying to push this kid to the next level through intense battles!”
"The Confucian School already has five Hao Zheng paths. If they add another peak Innate who travels the world, are they aiming to dominate the three sects?"
...
In the blink of an eye, day and night shifted. Xun Wu You ran three thousand miles overnight.
The Huang Tian Zhi Xing showed no signs of waning, instead, it was vigorous and energetic.
He sensed something, vaguely understanding Lin Tian Xing's intention.
The ultimate profound skill of the Confucian School, its numerous benefits, he now had a slight grasp of.
But he could not continue forward, no matter what. For ahead lay the area shrouded by the Blood Dark Crystal Tower.
The crimson light spread slowly. Even if he stood still, within an hour at most, the crimson light would engulf him.
"Wolves in front, tigers behind. What a freaking miserable life!"
Xun Wu You cursed loudly.
Turning to look back, at the end of his sight, a figure emerged from the blue-black depths, swift and quick.
After a whole night, Gui Qi Zhu had finally closed the distance.
“Running, huh? Why aren't you running anymore?"
Gui Qi Zhu laughed, pointing at the crimson Blood Dark realm: "Go ahead, run into it!”
“Alright!" Xun Wu You sneered: “I'll run for you!”
Xun Wu You's decisiveness even startled Gui Qi Zhu.
Had this kid gone crazy? Or was there another trick up his sleeve?
He was also a genius, but after a night of chasing, he had come to a profound understanding of Xun Wu You.
This guy had no Confucian School demeanor, his mouth was always spewing vulgarity.
Even the most foul-mouthed street urchins would have bowed in admiration. He had spent the whole night insulting Gui Qi Zhu's entire family, especially the women.
He called his mother a whore, his father a cuckold. Even Gui Qi Zhu, who had an extraordinary temper, couldn't help but twist his face in anger.
But he was wearing a ghost mask, hiding his enraged expression.
Xun Wu You waved to Gui Qi Zhu, turned sideways, and shot into the Blood Dark realm like a bolt of lightning.
Gui Qi Zhu cackled several times. A black hole appeared behind him, he plunged into it. A figure in resplendent golden robes, a transcendent expert, walked out from behind the mountain, holding a flower umbrella, taking leisurely steps.
His golden robes fluttered in the wind. He appeared to be walking slowly, but in reality, he covered a hundred feet with each step. Arriving before the Blood Dark realm, he had a slight smirk on his lips.
"Kid, Ren Jue Fei Jun has come to meet you personally!"
Ren Jue Fei Jun, one of the three Xuanhuang ascendants, the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, only Xun Wu You knew Ren Jue Fei Jun's secret for now.
As long as Xun Wu You didn't blab it to the world, he would still be the Ren Jue Fei Jun who was beloved by everyone.
Gui Qi Zhu had chased him all night but failed to intercept Xun Wu You. Ren Jue Fei Jun decided to take matters into his own hands.
This was also a test to see how much Xun Wu You knew.
Ren Jue's identity was revered by everyone, making him more suitable for walking on the surface.
While his substitute body, disguised as Gui Qi Zhu, cleared obstacles for him in the darkness. This light and shadow combination was truly perfect.
He had not only secretly killed Tian Ji Shen Yu Xiaoyao, but he had also driven Jun Feng Tian to a dead end.
...
The moment Xun Wu You entered the Blood Dark realm, he instantly felt his physique being restrained by a third. As soon as the Huang Tian Zhi Xing started to circulate, his physique immediately recovered.
"Is the Huang Tian Zhi Xing immune to the Blood Dark energy?"
He was slightly surprised, then overjoyed.
Why did the Blood Dark Crystal Tower cause so many experts so much trouble? Wasn't it because it suppressed their physiques?
If they went in recklessly, they would be corroded.
Even those as powerful as Ren Zhi Zui Ji Tan Shuo and Kui Yu Jiang couldn't hold on for long.
Since he was unaffected, why hesitate?
He would cross the Blood Dark realm, hide for ten days and a half month, and wait until he reached the seventh rank of the Innate realm with the power he gained from the roulette.
"Another fool seeking death, eh?"
A cold voice accompanied by a blizzard arrived. A ghostly white figure, embracing a blade, appeared.
His poetic motto rang out: Leaning on my blade, I sleep in the frost, laughing at the withering of all beauty. Among a hundred scenes, I am most fond of this wind and snow, I love its flying white, I love its cold!
Xue Jue!
The head of the Three Lords of Hunting Space. His swordsmanship was exquisite, his personality was bold and unrestrained, and his intelligence was sharp.
Xun Wu You liked this guy when he was watching Xianmo Ao Feng.
Loyal and righteous, he sacrificed his life for his people, but his ending was tragic, dying at the hands of Di Ming.
"State your name, newcomer!"
Xue Jue's long blade unsheathed, locking onto Xun Wu You.
This area was under his guard, he was following Ni Shen Yang's order. Anyone who dared to trespass, die!
Xun Wu You looked at the blizzard behind Xue Jue and muttered: "What a freaking cool entrance!"
Some characters in 霹雳 had incredibly impactful entrances, like Fan Tian Yi Shu with the eight dragons leading the way, Di Ming's Ghostly War Steed soaring through the sky… Always making people's blood boil.
The swirling snow, the cold and icy aura, Xue Jue’s entrance style was more ethereal and detached.
"State your name?"
Xun Wu You waved his hand: "We're not fighting."
"That's not for you to decide."
Xue Jue's blade pointed at Xun Wu You, radiating an icy chill, the snow swirling, moving like a candle racing against wax.
Xun Wu You chopped through the snow, dispelling the icy flow: "Are you crazy? I said we're not fighting, why are you attacking me? Besides, you can't even beat me. Let me pass!"
