Lin Feng was alone, his strength suppressing him at the Martial Realm Initial Stage. It was indeed quite bizarre for someone at this level to be wandering in the Wan Beast Abyss. This place rarely saw sunlight, often shrouded in a gray haze.
The air was thick with swirling smoke, dark as ink, resembling an ancient ferocious beast that supported the heavens above, its gaping maw devouring the outlines of all things. Occasionally, a mournful or enraged roar would echo through the dense jungle, only to be followed by an eerie silence.
Dressed in a black robe, Lin Feng ventured deeper into the darkness, naturally attracting beasts looking for trouble. Numerous First-Rank Beasts charged at him like moths drawn to a flame. The sword light he emitted sparkled like stars, its might rolling forth like thunder!
Once he revealed his aura of the Martial Realm Initial Stage, the First-Rank Beasts dared not approach any closer. With their kin being slaughtered, stronger beasts were bound to appear. Secondary Beasts, among the top ranks of their kind, had a significant advantage when facing someone from the Martial Realm. They were more powerful and had stronger defenses!
At that moment, Lin Feng encountered a formidable beast from the Secondary Beast category—the Great Ape. This creature could not yet speak human language and expressed its dominance and fury through chest-thumping and stomping.
Charging forward with a wild energy, it showcased the strength and ferocity of its kind. Lin Feng did not draw his sword; instead, he simply formed a fist with one hand and casually swung it.
Bang!
A terrifying wave of force swept through the surroundings. The Great Ape, known for its brute strength, found its robust arm shattered by Lin Feng's simple punch. The arm was as thick as an ancient tree but crumbled into dust under Lin Feng's strike.
A chilling scream echoed through the jungle as the Great Ape turned to flee without a moment's hesitation. Although Lin Feng had no interest in taking the Secondary Beast's body, any beast that dared to attack him would inevitably face annihilation!
His power could nearly obliterate mountains, and his speed was as swift as falling stars. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng appeared behind the Great Ape and delivered another punch.
This punch was heavy with force; if the Heavenly Dome were within reach, it could shatter even the sky itself. The Great Ape was sent flying and died on the spot!
After dispatching the Great Ape, Lin Feng chose not to collect its body and turned to leave. Not long after he departed, a small team hurriedly arrived at the scene.
What?
The recently ranked Great Ape, a peak-level Secondary Beast, had met such a gruesome fate! What powerful presence from the Qi Wu Realm had suddenly appeared in this area?
A man at the Qi Wu Realm Initial Stage spoke with a puzzled expression. "Lao San, I can only sense one person's aura; it seems to be an independent beast hunter."
This person’s strength is not inferior to mine; after all, he was able to subdue a Secondary Peak Great Strength Ape to such a degree, indicating his formidable power. Another man squinted his eyes, analyzing the situation carefully. "This person is at the Qi Wu Realm Mid-Stage."
"Er Ge, didn’t you say we needed two strong experts from the Qi Wu Realm to help us?" The man named Lao San suddenly brightened up and hurriedly said, "This independent hunter might just become our ally!"
The other team members quickly echoed his sentiment. Their small team was planning to hunt down two Third Level Peak monsters, specifically the Azure Flame Bull, which ranked fifty-eighth on the Monster Ranking! With their current strength, they were no match for these two beasts. Moreover, the Azure Flame Bull had a massive population in the Wan Beast Abyss, and these two Third-Grade Monsters had numerous subordinates.
"I want to recruit this strong individual, but he doesn’t even care to take the corpse of the Secondary Peak Great Strength Ape. Clearly, he doesn’t value ordinary things," Er Ge, whose real name was Qian Er, said with a furrowed brow, feeling somewhat worried.
"The horns of the Flame Bull are as solid as rock and harder than divine weapons; they can be forged into extremely powerful weapons. Not to mention, it’s a Third Level Peak beast—just one step away from becoming a Fourth-Level Beast."
"We should quickly inform our big brother and let him lead us in negotiations," Qian San said excitedly. He didn’t believe that someone at the Qi Wu Realm would look down on the horns of an Azure Flame Bull.
"Alright, let’s hurry and find big brother! He is currently trying to recruit another broken team!" Without hesitation, Qian Er dashed off in another direction.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng had practiced several times and was just one step away from reaching the Nine Layers of the Nebula Realm. Ultimately, he decided to stop training and prepare for a major battle; perhaps that would naturally lead to his breakthrough.
As Lin Feng walked along, he suddenly heard fierce sounds of battle in the distance, accompanied by an overwhelming aura. Upon closer inspection, he sensed that there were beasts and quite a few humans engaged in combat.
He quickly rushed towards the battlefield, concealing himself in the shadows and suppressing his aura as he observed what lay before him. Lin Feng spotted a weakened Third-Stage Late-Phase Beast; it appeared to be a Fire Cloud Porcupine ranked on the Monster Ranking. This Fire Cloud Porcupine had been defeated by three late-stage Qi Wu Realm warriors working together. Its subordinate Hedgehog Army had also been slaughtered by dozens of Wu Lian fighters.
A Third Level Initial Fire Cloud Porcupine lay dead before them, a clear sign that several Hunter Squads had joined forces for this hunt.
"Hahaha! After watching the Hedgehog Group for so long, we finally wiped them out!"
One of the men exclaimed excitedly. "Let’s take this Hedgehog Group's body back; our three squads have certainly made a hefty profit today. It's time to push for a higher ranking in the Qi Wu Realm squads. After all, the higher our rank, the more wealthy patrons will come to commission tasks from us!"
A tall man spoke with enthusiasm. "Zhang Luan, your Phantom Squad was already at the top of the rankings. With the benefits from taking down the Hedgehog Group, your rank will surely rise even higher. Once you make it big, don’t forget to take care of us brothers! We've worked together multiple times now."
A stout man chimed in loudly, praising his companion.
"Enough of this useless chatter! Hurry and take these corpses away and leave this place," a slender woman urged anxiously. "Aren't you afraid of being caught off guard? We’ve already expended quite a bit of energy."
"Miao San Niang, what are you worried about? Who would dare provoke our three squads? We’ve just eliminated the Hedgehog Group; who would have the audacity to steal from us?" Zhang Luan replied confidently, his eyes filled with arrogance. He didn’t believe anyone would dare touch his prey.
The Shadow Squad was one of the strongest teams in the Qi Wu Realm, boasting three formidable members. Zhang Luan himself was on the verge of breaking through to Qi Wu Pinnacle strength!
Just as he finished speaking, an overwhelming aura descended upon them. The wind howled and dust swirled, creating an imposing atmosphere.
"You can leave now; the Hedgehog Group belongs to This Young Master!"
