163: Meet the Hunter Again

“Get out of my way, all of you!”

“Whoever dares to block my path to Area 34, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“I am a strong Martial Artist at the Late Acquired Realm. Are you tired of living, daring to block my path?”

“Scram!”

A chaotic battle erupted.

Everyone knew clearly that the passage could only last for five minutes.

With so many people present, it was obviously impossible for everyone to enter the passage and leave this area.

Only by defeating the opponents blocking the way could they enter the passage first and head to Thirty-fourth Area.

Because of this, no one yielded to each other. Anyone who stood in front would be attacked.

Shen Xi was no exception.

The current situation was completely different from when he was in Area 32.

In Area 32, Shen Xi had opened the passage and intimidated everyone with his absolute strength, making them not dare to attack him.

But now, everyone treated him as someone like themselves, wanting to take advantage of Kuang Tao opening the passage to leave this area, so they naturally didn't take him seriously.

They were all riding the coattails, so who was stronger than whom?

Moreover, Shen Xi looked younger than everyone else, so they paid even less attention to him.

Therefore, Shen Xi was attacked by more than a dozen different people.

“Are you treating me like a soft persimmon to squeeze?”

Facing the attacks, Shen Xi sneered disdainfully.

He protected Situ Ye while forcefully counterattacking.

With every punch and every kick, a Martial Artist let out a pained wail.

In front of absolute strength, Shen Xi was like a God of War, unstoppable.

It was only then that everyone finally realized, belatedly, that this young man was far more terrifying than they had thought.

Especially when they noticed that Shen Xi was protecting Situ Ye while counterattacking, everyone was even more shocked, their mouths agape.

This person was simply a Prodigy.

Facing the chaotic battle, he was not only safe and sound, but even had the extra energy to protect others. Just this point alone, everyone admitted they couldn't do it.

Let alone protecting others, whether they could ensure their own safety was an unknown.

Realizing this, no one dared to stop Shen Xi’s advance anymore.

Shen Xi thus proceeded unobstructed to Thirty-fourth Area.

However, Shen Xi did not notice that as his figure disappeared, a cold gaze was cast in the direction he vanished.

“At an age of less than twenty, he remains at ease in a chaotic battle. This guy’s strength should definitely not be underestimated.”

“And someone who can possess such strength either has a heaven-sent Opportunity or has an extraordinary background. Regardless of the reason, he definitely has treasures on him.”

“Hehe, as long as I kill this kid, I will definitely have a good harvest.”

The owner of the voice, hidden beneath a Black-Robed Man, let out a piercing, eerie laugh.

Saying that, he entered the chaotic battle, also moving with a leisurely stroll, and arrived in front of the passage.

The next second, he also entered the passage... On the other side.

After Shen Xi and Situ Ye arrived in Thirty-fourth Area, they also did not linger, still rushing non-stop towards the Thirty-fifth Area.

The Chasing Wind Secret Realm is divided into a total of thirty-six areas, with the thirty-sixth area and First Zone being adjacent.

Shen Xi’s goal was very clear: to cross through each area one by one, eventually reaching the First Zone.

And after Shen Xi and Two People set off, the Black-Robed Man also appeared in the Thirty-fifth Area.

He did not see the traces of Shen Xi and Two People, nor was he in a hurry. He simply took out a small bottle from his spatial ring. Inside the bottle, a glowing insect was flying.

“Go find their whereabouts.”

The Black-Robed Man opened the bottle, and the insect immediately flew out.

After hearing the Black-Robed Man’s command, the insect flitted up and down for a while, then flew in the direction Shen Xi and Two People had left.

“Hehe, wanting to escape from my grasp is simply a fool’s dream. No prey can escape my control.”

The Black-Robed Man leisurely followed... Just like that.

Shen Xi and Two People were rushing ahead, while the Black-Robed Man was chasing behind.

After more than half an hour, the Black-Robed Man finally caught up with Shen Xi.

“Hehe, I finally caught up with you two. You like to run, don’t you? I’d like to see how you’ll run now?”

The Black-Robed Man swaggered in front of Shen Xi and Two People, letting out an arrogant, wild laugh.

Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

Run?

When did they run?

They were just busy rushing to the First Zone.

Of course, due to Situ Ye’s strength, his speed couldn’t keep up with Shen Xi’s, so the Two People’s progress wasn’t particularly fast.

Otherwise, if Shen Xi had traveled at full speed, the Black-Robed Man wouldn’t have been able to catch him.

However, for the Black-Robed Man, the situation was completely different.

In his opinion, Shen Xi and Two People hastily left as soon as they arrived in Thirty-fourth Area, surely because they discovered he was targeting them, and thus were fleeing in disarray.

It was just that his own strength was greater and his speed faster, and with the help of the tracking flying insect, he had always locked onto the position of Shen Xi and Two People, which was why he caught up.

“I didn’t expect to be targeted by a hunter again.”

Shen Xi shrugged, already understanding the current situation.

The Black-Robed Man was clearly also a hunter, and he had made himself a target.

“Still pretending to be foolish, do you think I’ll let you go like this? If you hadn’t noticed me, would you have needed to run so fast?”

The Black-Robed Man sneered disdainfully, convinced that Shen Xi had discovered him long ago.

What he was saying now was nothing more than an attempt to make him lower his guard.

Unfortunately, such a small trick would never be able to deceive him.

The Black-Robed Man, with an expression that said 'I've seen through you,' contemptuously crooked his finger: “Kid, don’t say I’m cruel. I can give you a chance to live. As long as you honestly hand over everything on you, I can let you live. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The Black-Robed Man didn't take Shen Xi and Situ Ye seriously at all.

He could clearly feel that Situ Ye was only at the Houtian Lesser Stage, and still had injuries that hadn't healed, so he was naturally not worth mentioning.

As for Shen Xi, although he couldn't quite see through him, he didn't have many reservations when he thought that the other party had arrived in Thirty-fourth Area by competing for the passage.

This indicated that Shen Xi’s combat power could not have reached the Xiantian Realm.

Coupled with his age, at most he would have the combat power of the Late Acquired Realm.

And he himself was a half-step Heaven-Grade, his combat power only one step away from the Initial Stage of Innate Realm.

With his current combat power, dealing with Shen Xi and Two People would be effortless.

This made the Black-Robed Man's confidence explode.
