Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 42 Accident
Ji Fuyou's gaze was sharp.

Although he couldn't "see" it, as a spiritual being with a mental capacity of 18.5, he could clearly "hear" the extremely suppressed breathing sounds behind the stalactite pillars more than twenty meters away.

His stern shout went unanswered.

And Ji Fuyou...

I didn't ask any more questions.

In the mist, humans are no less dangerous than the beasts.

Seeing that the other party had not shown up but also had no intention of attacking, Ji Fuyou slowly retreated.

They kept their distance from each other.

This demonstrates a stance of keeping to oneself and not interfering with each other.

Thirty meters, forty meters...

Just as the distance between the two sides narrowed to nearly fifty meters, a wolf-like howl came from the mist.

This was accompanied by hurried exchanges.

"Boss, Black Fiend smelled her scent, she's right here!"

"Damn it! It's actually Fang Qiyun, the sixth young lady of the Fang family! If the Fang family finds out, we're all doomed!"

"So, all four of them have to die! As long as they're all dead here, who will know it was us who did it?"

Amidst the sounds of communication, four figures burst through the mist and rushed towards the aura hiding in the stalactite pillar.

Just as the four were about to pass by Ji Fuyou, the wolf-like beast seemed to smell something, suddenly changed direction, and let out a howl towards the location where Ji Fuyou was hiding.

This change caused all four of them to change their expressions simultaneously.

"Black Fiend..."

One of them opened his mouth as if to say something.

But before he could finish speaking, one of them interrupted him: "What a huge mutated giant scorpion! Black Fiend seems to be frightened? This mutated giant scorpion is probably at the fourth level!?"

"Alright, let's get down to business! After we take care of that bastard who attacked our brother, we'll leave immediately and take him to the hospital to get his wounds treated!"

Three of the four quickly exchanged glances, seemingly discussing something with each other.

But one of them had already silently approached the direction of the floating creature.

Moreover, he seemed to have practiced the art of concealing his breath; if Ji Fuyou hadn't already pushed his mental perception to its limit, he might not have been able to detect him.

really……

They all have to be silenced.

Ji Fuyou burst forth, instantly breaking through the mist and rushing straight into the depths of the cave.

"This perception...is it from a psychic!?"

The figure who had stealthily approached changed his expression: "Second brother, third brother, go deal with that bitch! Fourth brother, follow me!"

The four-person team instantly split into two groups, with two of them heading straight for Fang Qiyun.

The other two went straight after Ji Fuyou.

As the four of them unleashed their full speed, Ji Fuyou was shocked to discover...

Of these four, three are at the deputy high-level martial arts level!
The other one, the second oldest of the four, is probably a psychic, though he doesn't know the extent of his abilities. But the speed he unleashes suggests that his physical abilities have likely been enhanced to a level of 11.

The lineup of this hunting squad...

Even in Starlight City, this configuration would be considered top-notch!
Ji Fuyou instantly realized the danger.

At that moment, the figure that had been hiding dozens of meters away suddenly darted out from behind the stalactite pillar.

"Come!"

A beautiful figure, covered in dust and blood, broke through the fog and appeared.

Accompanying this was a chilling voice filled with murderous intent: "I can't withstand the Refining Mystic Technique. I'll hold off their leader, third, and fourth! You hurry up and deal with their second-in-command!"

This voice...

Who was the leader of the squad that stole Giant Scorpion #1?
He didn't escape...

At least they still have some conscience!

Of course, it's also possible that she knew about the existence of "Black Fiend" and couldn't escape.

Ji Fuyou glanced at the group rushing towards them, especially the second-in-command…

Refine mystical arts!

This proves that he has at least 15 mental points.

He is most likely a senior-level mental ability user!
In addition, there are three secondary advanced martial artists...

Pei Zhaoye's team is probably inferior to the four of them.

A head-on confrontation is absolutely unwinnable! But...

"Keep up with me! But be three body lengths behind!"

The floating of the season inspires the spirit.

It is a method that requires a concentration of at least 15 seconds to transmit information.

At the same time, he turned around and headed straight for the group of stalactites and stalagmites in front of him!

Fang Qiyun, who rushed out to intercept "Boss, Boss 4" and the others, "sensed" this message, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Although she didn't know where Ji Fuyou's confidence came from, the two of them were now in the same boat, and she had no choice but to believe him.

In an instant, her figure changed, and she used some kind of footwork, her movements as light as an eagle soaring through the sky.

In a few leaps, she had already rushed to Ji Fuyou's side. The moment the two crossed paths, a cold light suddenly burst forth from the mist, carrying a sharpness that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, and launched a ruthless assassination.

The sharp edge she displayed in that instant sent a chill down Ji Fuyou's spine even as they passed each other.

The eldest brother, who followed closely behind, had a cold expression and immediately drew his sword to defend.

"boom!"

Sparks flew!

Clearly visible in the pitch-black cave.

Only then did Ji Fuyou realize that Fang Qiyun was not using a longsword, but a spear!
A specially made rifle less than two meters long!
As the spear thrust out with terrifying penetrating power, it directly blasted the leader of the four men back four steps. It wasn't until the fourth man, who was close behind, stepped forward and used his left hand to brace against the leader's body that the leader was able to stop his retreat.

Even so, his five fingers gripping the longsword trembled slightly, and the area between his thumb and forefinger turned faintly red.

"That's wild!"

The burning pain in his palms did not frighten the leader of the four; instead, he revealed his vicious nature: "But no matter how much you struggle, there is only one outcome today!"

"kill!"

The fourth brother, who followed closely behind, overtook the eldest brother's figure, a cold glint appearing first, his spear piercing through the void.

But facing his follow-up attack, Fang Qiyun reacted extremely quickly, deflecting the eldest brother's sword with a slanted upward slash, instantly parrying the spear light thrusting by the fourth brother. Immediately afterwards, the spear seemed to fly out of his hand, thrusting straight forward.

The terrifying, sharp aura seemed to pierce through the more than one meter of space between them, about to pierce the fourth brother's throat.

But the leader, who was right next to him, suddenly reacted and deflected the spear with his sword!

Amidst the clanging of metal, the forward thrust slightly shifted its angle, piercing the empty space almost right past the fourth brother's throat.

The force of the spear even sliced ​​through the skin on his neck, tearing a visible bloodstain.

The line between life and death!
At that moment, the third brother also arrived, leaping into the air and drawing his sword. Although the two were still five or six meters apart, Fang Qiyun suddenly shook his head...

In Ji Fuyou's mental perception, a steel needle was flung out as the third brother drew his sword in mid-air, tearing through the mist like lightning and grazing past Fang Qiyun's fair cheek.

Flying needles!

The third brother's real killing move is not the sword before it strikes, but the flying needle mechanism that is activated at the same time as the sword strikes out!

"laugh!"

A splash of crimson bloomed on Fang Qiyun's cold face, resembling a vibrant blood flower.

As she forcefully shook her head to dodge the flying needles, she lost her balance. The leader, who had parried Bu Shuo's attack with his sword, seized the opportunity and suddenly kicked out.

Although Fang Qiyun retaliated with his spear immediately, he was still a step too slow. He was kicked in the abdomen and sent flying three meters backward. After landing, he staggered back six steps.

"retreat!"

Just then, she suddenly sensed Ji Fuyou's mental message.

Despite not understanding why, she still abandoned her balance without hesitation, pushed off the ground with all her might, and retreated rapidly in a nearly backward manner.

"die!"

The eldest, third, and fourth brothers relentlessly pursued and pounced on the enemy.

The second brother, who was a step behind, seemed to sense something at that moment, his eyebrows twitching: "Something's not right!"

His gaze suddenly turned to the group of stalactite columns that were over ten meters high and weighed thousands of tons!
At some point, the balance of these stone pillars, which had originally been relatively stable, was completely disrupted, as the young man, who appeared to be a sub-advanced psychic, applied further force...

"Retreat! Brother! Retreat quickly!"

The second child screamed!

pity……

late!

As the three pursued, a massive number of stalactites crashed down with an almost overwhelming force!
"how come……"

Just as they were about to catch up with Fang Qiyun, the boss opened his eyes wide in despair.

One after another, stalactite pillars weighing tens or even hundreds of tons carried a terrifying impact that even level four alien beasts could not withstand, instantly engulfing their bodies and completely swallowing them up amidst their incredulous and terrified screams.
