"This is a True Martial City …"
Lin Ming looked at the gigantic city in front of him. Compared to the vast and bustling Immemorial Imperial City, True Martial City seemed much smaller. But, the aura that this city emitted was actually much more pressing than that of the Immemorial Imperial City. Only the city walls of True Martial City were completely forged with saint artifact-level metals, and with the huge array supporting it, it could be called indestructible!
Lin Ming spread heavenly sense. He found that there were not many masters around him. It's also very normal. In most situations, masters would gather at hunting grounds near the city with high-level beasts. Or, they would be within the city itself. Right now, Lin Ming was still several hundred miles away from True Martial City, so there were not many martial artists nearby.
“Currently, I should rank around 100-200 in this great world. After the second round of elimination began, all the nightmare beasts evolved and the merit points of the participants also had to increase. ”
Lin Ming thought hard. He advanced, deciding to enter the city and find a place to settle down before leaving again to hunt. But then, at this moment, he suddenly heard a violent explosion nearby. This explosion was deafening and rapid; it was clear that there was an intense collision of energies.
Lin Ming cast out his senses, searching for energy collision points on his mind's sense map. Five groups of lights appeared before him. Two clusters of glazed grey colored lights, signifying a nightmare ferocious beast, and three other masses of lights mixed together, showing martial artists.
However, this situation was not where martial artists chased after nightmare beasts, but where nightmare beasts chased after martial artists.
Of these three martial artists, there was one man and two women. They were all wearing similar long robes and wielding long swords of similar-looking top grade saint artifacts in their hands. One could see that they were from the same sect. As for those martial artists who could bring top grade saint artifacts to participate in the First Martial Meeting, they were usually top geniuses of Holy Land level influences. Their strength is good.
These three martial artists were chased by two beasts like vultures. The dream beast was covered in black fur and each had three heads. Each head had a large protrusion of flesh in the upper half and was as long as a sword. Their necks have no fur, revealing mottled yellow skin. They are very ugly creatures.
"Sister senior-apprentice, we should split up and run away!"
A yellow-robed apprentice sister said, her face pale as she looked back towards the monstrous beasts chasing after them. He was well aware in his heart that compared to these gigantic ferocious beasts, the difference in their combined strength was too far from them. The savage beast only needed to gently peck at him to split his waist and cause all of his organs to fall.
Although he knew he would not actually die, such a scene was tantamount to a living nightmare, because the feeling of dying was too real. Moreover, in these past few days, they had accumulated many merit points. If they were to die here, most of their merit points would be lost. And with their strength, passing the second round of brutal elimination was impossible. If they were to die just once more, they would basically have no chance of passing again.
"Don't separate. With two ferocious beasts, even if we split up at least two of us will die. And, the area around True Martial City was too dangerous right now. If we split up then we'll die sooner! We should hurry up and fly towards the True Martial City as quickly as possible. As long as we can reach the city, the spell protecting it will repel these two monstrous beasts. ”
As the yellow-clothed senior apprentice brother spoke, he flew at an increasingly desperate speed. But at this moment, he discovered that not too far away, a blue-clothed youth flew towards him. His movements were light and unhurried and he seemed to be flying towards them.
This blue-clothed youth was Lin Ming.
"Someone is here!"
The yellow-clothed youth was overjoyed as he saw Lin Ming speeding towards him. He did not think that Lin Ming could kill the monstrous beasts chasing after them. This was because if those two nightmare beasts were converted into True Martial World rank participants, they would be ranked between 10,000 and 100,000. They were extremely ferocious creatures, and this was not a high-level hunting field near True Martial City, so the chances of them meeting a master here were not high. The chances of them crashing into a top 10,000 rank master here were extremely slim.
However, if someone new arrives, there is always a chance to turn things around. Even in the worst situation, this new person should be able to distract the nightmare beasts.
“Friends, please! We are disciples of Five Flower Mountain! If you can save our lives, we will definitely thank you again after this First Martial Meeting is over! "
As Lin Ming heard this man yelling towards him, he thought this was quite funny. In fact, within the heavenly Dream World, it was already good enough if participants did not kick the other participants as they descended and took advantage of them, let alone out of their way to save them. Everyone here was competing with each other, so wasn't it stupid to save others? Of course, to Lin Ming, this man could not be considered a competition at all.
Lin Ming looked calm as he stopped. When the man saw Lin Ming's posture, he was afraid that Lin Ming was underestimating this ferocious beast and would soon be killed. He frantically said, “Be careful! These two nightmare beasts were from the Demon Sealing Ridge! They are so hard to handle! If you join us, then we may be able to coordinate .. and … "
Before the man could utter another word, a brilliant heavenly light tore through the horizon, so bright that it almost blinded him.
A heavenly light flashed past his body at an incredible speed, almost touching it. By the time this heavenly light approached him, the man could feel every hair on his body standing up, making him feel an incomparably cold as if he had fallen into the nine abyss below.
But before they could even answer, two miserable shrieks filled the air.
When the three people looked back, they were completely shocked. Behind them, the two scavenging beasts had their six heads completely cut off. The injuries were simple and clean, without the slightest bit of waste moving.
The peng! The peng!
The peng! The peng!
Two nightmare beasts died. Their bodies fell, crumbling in the air and becoming pure dreamland energy that was absorbed by Lin Ming.
After seeing the two monstrous and disgusting ferocious beasts instantly being killed by Lin Ming, the young man gulped. He turned around and looked towards Lin Ming with disbelief in his eyes. The jaws of the two yellow-clothed girls fell and they could not react for quite some time.
They really hit the jackpot. The person they met was unexpectedly the supreme leader. He might not be ranked in the top 100,000 or even 10,000, but was ranked in the top 1000. That meant he was someone who had a very high chance of getting through the preliminary round.
"Thank you for the help, man!"
The young man quickly cupped his hands together and bowed respectfully. He had the happy expression of someone who had just survived a great calamity, also a little embarrassed. He suddenly remembered that when he called out to the background of this blue-clothed youth, the young man probably thought he was a joke.
The two yellow-clothed girls also rushed over to bow, showing their absolute respect to Lin Ming. This was to thank him for his help and also because they were afraid that Lin Ming would be displeased and kill them. In the heavenly dream space, assassinations between participants were a common occurrence.
“Only small business. I've got a few things I'd like to ask you. "The reason that Lin Ming saved these people was mainly because he wanted to obtain some information about True Martial City. He had just arrived here so he did not understand the situation around him. For example, how many masters were in True Martial City and also hunting grounds with high-level ferocious beasts.
"Friends, please ask. I will try to answer as best I can. ”
"Md. Let me ask you, why are two nightmare beasts of that rank chasing you near True Martial City? "
Lin Ming thought that this was strange He was very close to the True Martial City and yet a powerful nightmare beast had appeared here. Of the 10,000 martial artists, 9999 of them might not be their match.
The young man sadly smiled. He said, “This is not what you think it is. We are in the eastern outskirts of True Martial City. Normally, there shouldn't be any high-level nightmare beasts gathered here. As such, top masters rarely appeared here. Nightmare beasts are of a very low level here, but they are more than enough for us that three brothers and sisters can face. However, a few days ago, there was some change in the Demon Sealing Ridge. A hairy red monster suddenly appeared. This red-furred monster was extremely strange but also incredibly powerful. Not only killing the participants, but also killing nightmare beasts. I heard that the purple crystal was taken from someone and evolved, but I'm not too sure what exactly happened. But, in short, the mysterious red-furred monster exuded an aura that caused the high-level ferocious beasts to fear and flee. Due to the chaos there, some high-level dream beasts fled. Some of the high-level nightmare beasts fled to the lower-level hunting grounds, and as such, we insignificant martial artists experienced true tribulation. ”
"Devil Sealing Ridge?"
"Yes ... friend, you seem new in this field so you might not know about Demon Sealing Ridge. Demon Sealing Ridge was 3000 miles southwest of True Martial City. It is a long mountain range covered with towering trees and canyons and valleys everywhere. There was also a very high concentration of high-level ferocious beasts there. That was the hunting ground most favored by the top masters of True Martial City. But now, because of that strange red-furred monster, there were not many high-level dream beasts in the Demon Sealing Ridge. Moreover, due to the threat posed by that red-furred monster, many masters had left the Demon Sealing Ridge and had already started hunting in the lower level area. ”
"I understand .." said Lin Ming. He suddenly had a very strong interest in this Demon Sealing Ridge.
The yellow-clothed youth had already guessed that Lin Ming would have this response. He warned with good intentions, "Friends, I know that you are very strong, but I encourage you to reconsider if you plan to go to the Demon Sealing Ridge. Right now, if you are not ranked in the top 100 of the True Martial World, it will be difficult for you to remain in the Demon Sealing Ridge. And even if you were in the Top 100, you would instantly be killed if you met that Red-furred Monster. I estimate that only the top 10 ranked martial artists have the ability to preserve their lives in front of that ruthless red-furred monster. ”
To the yellow-clothed youth, the top 10 great world rankings were simply legends. Even though Lin Ming had directly killed those two nightmare beasts, such an action was still far from qualifying as a great world rank 10 master.
Lin Ming faintly smiled, explaining nothing. He definitely wanted to go to the Demon Sealing Ridge more and more.
The yellow-clothed youth saw that Lin Ming had no intention of heeding his advice, but there was nothing else he could say. After all, they had only met by chance here. He cupped his fists together and said, “Buddy, are you planning on entering the city? How about we go together? ”
“Mm, I plan to find a place to stay before returning to hunt. "Said Lin Ming casually. Both girls were happy to hear this. If Lin Ming was with them, this meant that they would be safe on their way back. They've changed their plans. Once they returned to the city, they would then exchange locations with even lower hunting grounds. The area around here became too frightening for them.
