Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 54 Bounty Hunt

Space underwent a series of distortions.

The next instant, the scene before his eyes stabilized.

Qin Qing had arrived in a vast canyon.

"Is this Wind Spirit Valley?"

Qin Qing looked around.

The grass was lush and green, with soft turf covering the forest floor.

The trees weren’t the towering giants of a primeval forest, but they were rich with branches and leaves, the foliage a vibrant green, and trunks standing tall, exuding vitality.

"The spiritual energy here is incredibly dense... even richer than in the Tianjue Forest..."

Qin Qing took a deep breath.

He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being in a place so abundant with spiritual energy.

With a light leap, Qin Qing arrived atop a large tree.

He surveyed his surroundings.

"There are no other participants nearby. This implies that Wind Spirit Valley is even larger than I imagined..."

"To pass the test, I must stay here for three days, which means, Shangguan Feixing and the others will certainly do everything they can to kill me within three days!"

A cold light flashed in Qin Qing’s eyes.

The Shangguan Clan and the Guan Family had played their most threatening young talents in their bid to kill him.

"If Shangguan Feixing and Guan Changtian were to die at my hands, then these two noble families would probably go completely insane, wouldn’t they?"

"Right..."

"There are also the Wind Spirit Beads!"

"Another condition for passing the test is to collect ten Wind Spirit Beads!"

"Wind Spirit Beads only exist inside the bodies of the ferocious beasts of Wind Spirit Valley... Now, it’s time to try hunting these beasts!"

Qin Qing’s figure flashed, and he disappeared from the branches of the large tree.

An hour later, he had arrived below a cliff.

The edge of Wind Spirit Valley was a huge circular cliff.

Qin Qing concealed his presence and focused his gaze towards a leopard-like ferocious beast below the cliff. Its body was covered with teal spots and its golden fur glistened like brocade.

Wind Leopard!

A very common Second Rank ferocious beast.

Often seen on the outskirts of Tianjue Forest.

The deeper you went, the more frequently you encountered Wind Leopards, which were common hunting targets for hunters of not particularly high strength.

The meat of the Wind Leopard was highly nourishing and, if sold to butchers, could fetch a good price.

But the most popular was the Wind Leopard’s fur.

A complete Wind Leopard pelt could sell for at least three thousand taels of gold.

However, Wind Leopards were, after all, Second Rank ferocious beasts.

Second Rank beasts corresponded to human Martial Cultivators in the Second Realm, martial masters in the Soul Refinement Realm!

Ordinary hunters, unless they had awakened a Martial Soul, generally did not have the strength to hunt Wind Leopards.

After selecting his target, Qin Qing suddenly burst into action.

"Whoosh!"

His figure turned into a flicker like a gust of wind.

The Wind Leopard, which had been curled up on the rocks and dozing, opened its eyes suddenly in the instant Qin Qing made his move.

Then, it flipped to one side and swiped a paw towards Qin Qing.

The Wind Leopard’s claws were extremely tough, and its attack was swift.

But Qin Qing’s speed was just too fast, and his power far surpassed the Wind Leopard’s expectations!

"Ding!"

Qin Qing’s Great Halberd collided with the Wind Leopard’s claws, tough as metal and stone, creating a crisp sound like the striking of iron.

But in the next moment, the Great Halberd, seized from the hands of Tianjue City’s elite Mansion Soldiers, slammed into the Wind Leopard with powerful force.

"Puchi!"

The Green Wind Leopard didn’t even have time to let out a miserable scream before it was instantly blasted into a puddle of blood and mud.

"This Green Wind Leopard, at its strongest, is only equivalent to a martial cultivator in the second to third level of the Soul Refinement Realm. It was absolutely no match!"

Qin Qing, holding a great halberd in his hand, fiddled with the body of the Green Wind Leopard and a pale green bead appeared in his sight.

"Is this the Wind Spirit Bead?"

When Qin Qing took the Wind Spirit Bead in his hand, he immediately felt a dense spiritual energy penetrate through his skin as if it wanted to burrow into his body.

"Such a concentrated spiritual energy... Additionally, there’s a unique aura."

This aura made his fingers icy-cold, as if wind was blowing on them, it must be the aura of wind.

Qin Qing thought to himself.

Afterwards, he put the Wind Spirit Bead into his Spirit Ring and turned to leave, starting to search for his next target.

...

In a corner of the Wind Spirit Valley.

A group of more than ten people had gathered here.

"Listen up, everyone!"

"If any of you find any clues about Qin Qing, you can contact us immediately with a Horn Token!"

A muscular young man scanned the seven people in front of him and then said:

"Don’t worry, we won’t shortchange you on the reward we promised! As long as you provide us with useful information, you’ll get the reward. If you can kill that Qin Qing, you will at least get a bounty of a million gold coins!"

Hearing about the million gold bounty, the seven newcomers participating in this assessment lit up with greed.

At this moment, a nimble figure hiding in a nearby tree made a leap and vanished from the spot.

"As expected..."

"Shangguan Feixing, Guan Changtian, and the others have already become so impatient that they’ve started issuing bounties!"

Qin Qing smirked coldly.

The tall young man just now was one of the people following behind Shangguan Feixing, it seemed he also entered the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm under the guise of an examiner.

"Furthermore... In just the past few hours, I encountered members of the Law Enforcement Team several times, who were also searching for me." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Even, they nearly discovered me..."

"It looks like it won’t be long before they find me!"

Qin Qing mulled over these thoughts and turned to leave.

He hasn’t been discovered yet, so naturally Qin Qing would not reveal himself willingly.

Shangguan Feixing and the others had cultivation realms far above Qin Qing’s.

Moreover, they had a significant advantage in numbers, and unless absolutely necessary, Qin Qing would choose not to confront them head-on for the time being.

...

Two hours later.

The sky was gradually darkening.

Night was about to fall.

"Third-rank ferocious beasts are indeed much more difficult to deal with!"

"Swoosh!"

Qin Qing swept with his great halberd, forcing the Vajra Great Ape that lunged at him to retreat several meters.

The Vajra Great Ape is a very fierce beast, with three rings of golden light on its head indicating that this is a third-rank Vajra Great Ape.

Additionally, there are Vajra Great Apes with purer bloodlines and higher grades.

Some Vajra Ape Kings can even reach the sixth or seventh rank...

"If I can’t resolve this Vajra Great Ape quickly, it’ll soon be dark!"

"Once it turns to black, even greater dangers will descend!"

This was the experience taught by his father and a rule that hunters must follow.

Once night falls, one must stop all activities, find a safe place to hide, and wait until daylight to continue moving.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, a blade light slashed towards Qin Qing from behind...
