This was a blatant slap to their faces. This was Xiao Chen's way of demonstrating to them that he wouldn't kill Kui Jiu and would only release him. It all depended on whether or not they could save him. Now, with the combined strength of the two of them, not only had the missile failed to kill Kui Jiu, it had even caused him to die even faster.
This was simply a great irony. As the leader of a tribe, face was the most important thing. The atmosphere in the tent became strange. Not only did the eyes of the two tribe leaders turn cold, the expressions of the remaining people also became extremely unsightly.
Xuan Kui and Kui Rong's faces were ashen. They didn't expect that Xiao Chen's hidden attack would be so strange. It didn't even affect the physical body, but the soul. The soul was a mysterious place in the human body. Even though they had great cultivation, they didn't have any good methods to deal with it.
"This killing intent contains a supreme will, as if all living things in the world have to submit to its might."
Kui Rong and Kui Rong fell silent, deep in thought. Based on their decades of experience, they seemed to have heard of such a strange scene before.
Chi!
Suddenly, Kui Rong and Kui Rong looked at each other at the same time. Their eyes shone brightly, and when their gazes collided, they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"This person can't be left alive!" Kui Rong was the first to speak.
"I didn't expect Xiao Chen to have comprehended a Martial Will. Judging from the power, he hasn't truly comprehended it yet. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if we would still be standing here today."
The originally luxurious tent was already filled with the smell of blood. Kui Rong stretched out his hand, grabbing at the killing intent that hadn't dissipated yet. The killing intent was like a sharp blade, instantly slicing his palm open, causing blood to drip out.
Looking at the wound on his palm, his expression became ferocious, as if he had made an important decision. He said, "Such a strong killing intent, it should be a supreme Slaughter Intent. It seems that this Xiao Chen's killing intent isn't small. We must not allow him to continue growing. Otherwise, if he is allowed to grow, it will be a disaster for our two tribes!"
What!
Hearing the conversation between the two Patriarchs, the people below were instantly shocked, even more incredulous than when Kui Jiu had killed the two Elders he brought back. What was Martial Will? It was a supreme realm that all cultivators in the Wildlands yearned for even in their dreams. It was truly a realm that only one in a million could comprehend. Moreover, those who could comprehend Martial Will were all geniuses amongst geniuses. Killing enemies of a higher realm was as easy as eating a meal or drinking water. If one really had to describe it, then it would be 'invincible within the same realm'!
"Damn it!
This Xiao Chen is actually so lucky. However, the more talented he is, the more we need to eliminate him while he is still budding. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
Elder Xuan He's gaze gradually turned cold as he shouted, "Could it be that we really have to wait ten days to hunt with Xiao Chen in the Dark Cloud Mountain Range?"
"Wait!" The chief of the Black Snake Tribe suddenly calmed down and said.
Moreover, even the Chief of the Kui Shui Tribe didn't show any objections.
"Chief, this is most likely Xiao Chen's stalling tactic," Elder Xuan He said. He couldn't wait to cut Xiao Chen down under his feet.
The chief of the Black Snake Tribe waved his hand and said, "This Guyuan Tribe can be destroyed in a day. The key is that this Xiao Chen can kill him in one strike. If he escapes, the consequences will be unbearable for both our tribes."
"That's right. Letting a tiger return to the mountains will cause endless troubles in the future. Furthermore, there are still two Blood Refining Realm cultivators in the tribe. We don't have the upper hand in killing them with our current strength. We must deploy more people from the main tribe and settle the matter with one battle so that the Guyuan Tribe won't have a chance to rise again."
The few people in the tent nodded their heads after hearing what was said. Xiao Chen's sudden appearance made the two tribes' original plan to end the battle quickly fall apart in an instant. For safety's sake, they could only deploy some capable men from their tribes again. As for the tribe's experts, they couldn't be bothered with the tribe's safety anymore.
"He can count himself lucky. Ten days later, we will definitely take Xiao Chen's head and offer it to my brother's soul in heaven." Everyone made their decision. The Mysterious Crane Elder snorted coldly and took the lead to leave the tent without caring about anything else.
Not long after, everyone dispersed and the tent became quiet. After a long time, two groups of dozens of riders rushed out of the stronghold and split up in the east and west directions. Not long after, they disappeared into the boundless curtain of night.
…
Eight hundred miles southeast of the Guyuan Tribe.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky. The scorching sunlight was like a raging fire that burned people painfully. Even in the dense forest, no one could feel the slightest chill.
This was the second day after Xiao Chen's return. Due to the tribe being besieged by the Mysterious Snake and Kui Tribes, the tribe's hunting team was unable to obtain enough prey to sustain the tribe. As the tribe leader, Xiao Chen had no choice but to personally go out and provide food for the entire tribe.
At this moment, a busy figure was constantly rushing back and forth by the river. At his feet, more than ten huge beasts were lying on the ground, long dead. These were the one-star low-tier fierce beasts, tusked boars. Each of these tusked boars weighed no less than three thousand kilograms and were one of the most commonly eaten fierce beasts by the people of the Wasteland. This was also Xiao Chen's good luck. As soon as he arrived, he discovered this group of tusked boars coming towards him. How could he give up on such meat that was delivered to his doorstep? In just a short while, these tusked boars were all put down on the ground.
After placing these tusked boars into the space of his Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Chen once again headed towards his deathbed. Although these ten tusked boars added up to thirty to forty thousand kilograms, they could not support the large population of the Guyuan Tribe. This amount of pork was only enough for the entire tribe for a day.
Furthermore, as a warrior's martial arts realm deepened, low-tier fierce beasts would not be able to satisfy the human body's consumption. After all, the energy contained in these low-tier food was too little and the quality was insufficient. It could only be made up with quantity. This was also the reason why high-level warriors ate more and more. When the food entered their stomachs, it would be instantly consumed by their bodies.
Boom!
The mountains trembled, the grass and trees crept, and the gravel flew everywhere. A giant bull, which was about fifteen meters tall and had a head and tail, was thrown into the air and fell heavily on the ground. It coughed up blood and struggled, unable to get up. Its cries were incomparably miserable, and its four hooves kicked wildly as if it had encountered a life and death enemy. It became panic-stricken and wanted to get up and escape, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not move an inch.
This was a One-star Middle-grade Black-backed Rhinoceros King. It was born with great strength, and when it matured, it could weigh as much as ten thousand kilograms. Originally, an ordinary Black-backed Rhinoceros was only a Human Rank Low-tier fierce beast, but this fierce beast had become a Middle-tier fierce beast. It was strong enough to rival a human martial artist who had perfected the Bone Tempering Realm.
Now, this local tyrant, who was known as the king of the mountains within a radius of a hundred miles, was in a very sorry state. It kept coughing up blood and screaming miserably. Its eyes were filled with a deathly gray color. In front of it, a figure that was as small as an ant stood proudly and gave it a fatal blow.
As for the screams of this Iron-backed Rhinoceros, Xiao Chen's heart was as calm as still water. There was not a single ripple in his heart. This was the Great Desolate, where the fittest survived. Those without strength could only become food and be hunted by others.
Using the spear as a stick, Xiao Chen smashed it towards its head once again. The huge head that was as hard as steel was smashed into smithereens. He placed this huge vicious beast into the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. Then, Xiao Chen began his hunting mission once again.
