Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 395 - 391: Top of the Points Ranking

The three of them moved swiftly forward in the Spirit Light Flying Boat. From time to time, Xia Feng and Xia Tianming would get off the flying boat to fight the Blood Beasts.

The Blood Beasts at the Earth Tier Fifth Layer Martial God Level were quite easy for Xia Tianming to handle.

However, when it came to Blood Beasts of the Earth Tier Eighth Layer Martial God Level, it was up to Xia Feng to deal with them.

This led to a little misunderstanding.

When Xia Feng held the Heaven-Burying Sword for the first time, ready to slay a Blood Beast, the Sword Spirit expressed strong resistance.

Its immature voice let out a sharp cry.

"I don’t want to, what’s this filthy thing! Don’t let such dirt pollute me! Don’t use the Ancient Divine Artifact on such filthy things ahhh!"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow in slight confusion: "This is something your so-called Master of the Secret Realm created, why are you so averse to it?"

The immature scream of the Sword Spirit abruptly stopped.

"That’s impossible! This must have been corrupted by those who came later, the Divine Monarch would never create such things."

Beside them, Tang Yunqi, who had been pretending to be invisible, finally leaned over to join the conversation.

"I remember that Wuji Divine Monarch was indeed a very proud person."

"Such things should be quite contrary to his nature."

The Sword Spirit listened to his words and was about to commend him for being perceptive, but Tang Yunqi suddenly changed the subject.

"However, the Sea of Secret Realm he created was obviously meant for the purpose of inheritance."

"Among the best ways to perfectly preserve energy, blood happens to be one of them."

Tang Yunqi wanted to poke the Heaven-Burying Sword but refrained after glancing at Xia Feng’s expression, only shrugging his shoulders.

"Wuji Divine Monarch, despite his pride, would certainly compromise for the sake of inheritance."

If the Sword Spirit had a face, it would have been scrunched up by now.

While understanding Tang Yunqi’s point, the Sword Spirit still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Tang Yunqi’s lips curled up slightly: "You don’t want the inheritance of Wuji Divine Monarch to fall into someone else’s hands, right?"

"Though your current master may have lower cultivation than others, his combat power is definitely not low."

"Following someone like that has prospects, right? You’d feel more at ease with Wuji Divine Monarch’s inheritance in your master’s hands, wouldn’t you?"

The Sword Spirit, with its immature personality not fully formed, was easily persuaded by Tang Yunqi’s words.

"You’re right, I should help my master slay more Blood Beasts and earn more points."

"There are a lot of secret treasures with my master that are not shown to others; they are all in the central area."

"If my master earns plenty of points, he can choose those secret treasures."

Previously, the Sword Spirit was not very accepting of Xia Feng; it even thought about waiting for more than twenty days until the Secret Realm closed, as they couldn’t take it away anyway, merely meeting each other’s needs for now.

Now, with the opening of Wuji Divine Monarch’s inheritance, the Sword Spirit found itself contemplating.

Perhaps the master it’s following might actually manage to take it out of the Secret Realm.

Seeing the Sword Spirit starting to slaughter aggressively like it had been injected with chicken blood, Xia Feng found it somewhat amusing.

He hadn’t thought Tang Yunqi had such a strong ability to tailor words to people or situations, even convincing the Sword Spirit with his reasoning.

There were no more serious errors following, with the Spirit Light Flying Boat as their defense, the Blood Beasts couldn’t intercept them midway.

Their speed of movement was very swift, and even when groups of three to five Blood Beasts tried to surround them, they would be controlled by Xia Feng to escape using the Spirit Light Flying Boat.

After they escaped another collective encirclement by the Blood Beasts, Xia Tianming took a deep breath, "These Blood Beasts don’t seem to have much spiritual wisdom, they’re just acting on instinct."

"But these instincts still include coordinated combat, seemingly resolved not to stop until they’ve killed someone."

Xia Feng activated Void Concealment to hide the Spirit Light Flying Boat in the Void, observing the situation outside through the Treasure Pearl.

After losing sight of them, the four Blood Beasts that had been surrounding them seemed to go berserk, directly seizing a passing Loose Cultivator and tearing them apart alive.

The Loose Cultivator attempted to struggle, but already had difficulty dealing with a single Blood Beast, let alone resisting the simultaneous tearing by four.

In about a single glance, that person was torn into several pieces.

Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching as the person’s energy transformed into four orbs of light entering the Blood Beasts’ bodies, making his expression even more vigilant.

Tang Yunqi leaned over to look, his expression ambivalent between caution and expectation.

"Hmm, so they can absorb more energy through killing."

"In this cycle, they become stronger while the contenders grow weaker."

Tang Yunqi furrowed his brows slightly, mumbling softly, "Did Wuji Divine Monarch ever really consider passing down the inheritance?"

Xia Feng turned to pat his shoulder, "Don’t worry, maybe he just wants to select the true strong."

Tang Yunqi paused, without refuting his argument, though he did show a bit of concern by glancing toward the center.

"We should be nearly there, right?"

The Spirit Light Flying Boat’s speed was extremely fast, traversing the entire Secret Realm in less than half a day.

As the three of them continued slaying Blood Beasts while moving towards the center, they managed to reach the boundary of the Central Divine Hall of Inheritance in just one day.

The Blood Beasts here almost possessed the cultivation of a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial God. If fought one-on-one, Xia Feng wasn’t afraid, his worry was fighting one and subsequently getting surrounded by a group.

While escaping is possible, it would be troublesome and time-consuming.

Xia Feng used his Divine Sense to probe the Plum Blossom Brand on his wrist, squinting his eyes in thought.

The number representing his rank, 17, was now at the top with 201 points.

Closely following him was a number 4, belonging to someone unknown, also ranked second with over 160 points.

Initially, Xia Tianming was quite strong, but near the Central Divine Hall of Inheritance, he grew weary and couldn’t keep up with the killing.

Number 18 only achieved 109 points, securing the ninth place.

Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling curious about this number 4 person.

"I wonder if it’s someone from the Four Great Clans, although apart from them, it’s unlikely anyone else could achieve such results."

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand let out a sword hum, seemingly urging him to continue killing.

The Sword Spirit initially resisted, feeling Blood Beasts too filthy.

However, as they continued killing, it noticed that though most of the energy from a dying Blood Beast would gather in the Sea of Secret Realm to restructure new Beasts, a small portion still entered the Plum Blossom Brand, and even the Sword Spirit and Heaven-Burying Sword absorbed a tiny bit to enhance themselves.
