Chương 263: Facing Jin Bao

Huang Fang Hao stood straight, his hair flying in the wind. His spear energy was like a huge spear that supported the sky, sending a powerful pressure in all directions. The three approaching wild beasts were actually forced to a stop merely by this pressure! Huang Fang Hao slowly extended two fingers and gathered his spear energy with some of his Imperial energy and casually stabbed out behind him three times.

Three tiny streaks of light shot out and pierced through the three gold crowned lions' foreheads, sending them flying backwards and crashing into the ground. None of them moved again; all three beasts, dead! A single casual attack to kill a rank three imperial beast as well as two rank two Imperial level wild beast! And he still hasn't revealed his cultivation, which meant this wasn't anything to him at all! The spectators outside were completely stunned speechless by Huang Fang Hao's strength.

"Impossible! How can he..." the Yihua clan's Great Elder was pale faced as he muttered blankly. Any of those three beasts would definitely kill him. He was merely a rank one Imperial realm master. This meant that Huang Fang Hao wouldn't even need to make a move to kill him! The Misty Mountain's Master sighed and moved his gaze away.

"We should've expected it. He is the strongest genius in the continent zone for a reason. The Desolate Overlord Continent is truly ridiculous as always!" Many more people were similarly dumbfounded. A deity from a high ranked continent stared at Huang Fang Hao in shock"How the hell did the Desolate Continent raid this monster? A tiny more enlightenment and he will comprehend a spear Intent! Not even I have done that yet!" Forming a Dao intent wasn't something that was achieved easily.

Some peak deities didn't even have an intent yet. And become a Dao master without an intent was the blabbering of a fool. Thus, having an intent early meant you have fulfilled one of the little requirements to reach the Dao foundation realm!

"This is ridiculous! His cultivation... I'm guessing rank four or five Imperial realm!" Another deity exclaimed. It took a long time for everyone to calm down, but each gaze that landed on Huang Fang Hao was filled with shock, respect, awe and fear. In the supreme heaven mystic realm, all the wild beasts seemed to have also sensed Huang Fang Hao's energy. Their roars resounded across the mystic realm and they began to rush straight towards Huang Fang Hao's position, their blood red eyes filled with destruction.

This was the beginning of a nightmare for all other geniuses in the mystic realm. That was because Huang Fang Hao would probably be able to kill these spirit level to rank one and two Imperial level beasts without much effort. But... Each beast that died, it would respawn somewhere else a level stronger than before! In that case, a rank four Imperial level wild beasts was probably soon to appear, alongside two rank three. And more would follow if Huang Fang Hao went along and killed all the beasts approaching him!

Long Feng sensed the Imperial level beasts outside the city gate rushing in a single direction. The weaker beasts also seemed to want to go as well but couldn't move away due their restriction.

"This isn't good! If that really is Huang Fang Hao and he goes on a killing spree..." Long Feng could imagine a scene of this mystic realm crawling with peak spirit level beast and imperial level beasts alone.

"Damn! I can't stay in here. Otherwise gaining points will become unspeakably harder" he frowned. After a short pondering, he sighed and approached the city walls. He had tried to fly over the walls from outside but found out that it was impossible. But jumping out from inside was very possible. He kept his concealment up and flew over the city wall, cursing under his breath at how he had to leave after suffering to get in.

"But that Huang Fang Hao is ridiculously strong as well! With just his spear Dao concept, I will probably need all my three Daos to compete. And he hasn't shown anything else. I absolutely can't fight that guy!" Long Feng admitted with a bitter smile. The stronger he became, the more he found out that he was still much too weak. Even among the continent zone's geniuses, he wasn't among the very top. There was no need to mention the Mainland. He would be an ant to the geniuses there.

Clearing those thoughts, Long Feng flew far away from the city before he lifted his concealment formation. He immediately attracted many wild beasts around and they all rushed at him with bloodthirsty eyes. Long Feng needed to quickly gather as much points as he could, so he would need to kill many wild beasts. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. And the stronger the beasts he killed, the more points he would get.

The weak beasts gave less than ten points each. Those rank five to seven gave around a hundred. Rank eight spirit level beasts gave two hundred points and peak spirit level beasts gave five hundred points. Long Feng assumed that rank one imperial level beasts would give a thousand points. That meant the seven overlord geniuses would already have thousands of points while he merely had less than a hundred. If he didn't kill stronger beasts, then he might actually fail to make the top three hundred!

"Looks like I'll have to use the strength of rank eight or nine spirit realm warriors otherwise I'll lag far behind the others. I hope I don't draw too much attention!" Long Feng didn't hide his presence, drawing large hordes of beasts in his direction. He drew out his origin spirit sword and released his sword energy and demon energy together. A flash of sword light that split several beasts in half signalled the beginning of his own slaughter.

Each of the other six overlord geniuses excluding Huang Fang Hao were all rushing all over the mystic realm, slaughtering wild beasts in a frenzy and also taking the tokens of any genius they found. No one dared to go against them. Any person that ran into any of the six overlord geniuses would simply hand over his token and wait for an empty one to manifest again. The six overlords were just too strong for the other geniuses to want to go against them.

Lei Jie paused before a peak spirit realm youth who had a bitter smile and stared at him indifferently"Your token!" He spat coldly. The youth shivered and took out his token, handing it over to Lei Jie without delay, his heart filled with bitterness and grievances. Lei Jie shattered the token immediately and his own token glowed with silver. He didn't spare the youth another glance as he looked towards the realm center.

"Huang Fang Hao, I am coming. I will defeat you and take your token as well as your fame. I'll show those fools that no one is superior to me!" He snorted and continued flying around, releasing arcs of lightning with the sounds of thunder that slayed any beast in his path. Long Feng had killed hundreds of wild beasts already as he advanced. Night was rapidly approaching and the beasts didn't seem to lessen at all. It looked like only those in the cities would be able to rest for the night.

Anyone outside would have to stay awake for the entire night.

"My spirit energy might not hold up for that long. Ah, this issue is a disadvantage for me" Long Feng sighed. His spirit energy being too little was a big issue for him right now. It meant he couldn't have an extended battle otherwise he would risk running out of energy and putting himself in danger. But unlike others, he was a soul cultivator. He didn't need to return to a city. He would simply set up a concealment formation and stay hidden for the night.

Unless an Imperial level beasts or cultivator passed by, then pretty much no one else would be able to find him. With this layer of assurance, Long Feng let lose and fought till he nearly exhausted his spirit energy. When he finally fled and set up a concealment formation, his points were over three thousand already.

"Phew! Since I could reach this much, then I suppose other rank eight and nine spirit realm warriors can do so as well. So I can't relax yet. I'll aim for ten thousand and stop there. As long as I can barely make it into the top three hundred, anything is fine" Long Feng sighed and sat down cross legged, recovering his spirit energy while his soul power was spread out in case of any powerful geniuses or beasts approaching. The night was uneventful for Long Feng.

The next morning, he dispersed the concealment formation. Many wild beasts around the area immediately surged towards him as usual. Long Feng lowered his combat power to barely reach peak spirit level as he killed hundreds of beasts and his points rapidly rose. He avoided all over geniuses he sensed with his soul power before they found him so as to avoid making a huge fuss. But not everything always went as planned. By noon, he suddenly sensed a berserk energy rushing towards his direction.

His expression immediately changed. This aura gave him a feeling similar to the Imperial realm but it was different from normal Imperial energy. It seemed more like... pure body strength? Long Feng didn't think much over this. He promptly changed his direction and moved elsewhere. But he immediately frowned when he noticed that energy pausing for a breath then rushing straight towards him.

"They sensed me?" Long Feng felt troubled. For someone to sense him from so far away, there was only one explanation; it was an Imperial master! And those were the last people Long Feng wanted to meet in this supreme heaven mystic realm. He tried changing directions again but the person seemed to have locked into him and chased right after him. Long Feng's expression darkened as he pushed his Nine Firmament Steps and began to speed away. Since the person wanted to catch up, then he would lose them with his speed.

But the person behind him showed no signs of giving up. Their speed also increased greatly and actually began to close the distance between them! Long Feng's heart began to pound. This couldn't possibly be a rank one Imperial realm genius. He was faster than those.

"Damn it!" He cursed and pushed his speed to the limit, but the person behind was rapidly closing in. With a bitter sigh, Long Feng decided to quit wasting his energy. He paused and waited quietly for whoever it was to approach. A few minutes later, a burly figure appeared in his line of sight and rushed over. The figure emanated a berserk aura that made others feel as though a mountain was pressing down on them. When Long Feng finally saw who was chasing him, his expression became bitter.

"Jin Bao... Wolf Alliance Overlord Continent!" He muttered. He didn't expect that it was actually one of the seven overlord geniuses that had been chasing him. That would explain why he couldn't out speed them. Jin Bao slowed down asn stopped a hundred feet away, staring at Long Feng with interest. Long Feng also stood staring at him, his gaze sharp as he inwardly praised. This Jin Bao's aura alone completely eclipsed that of everyone else in the hundred continent meeting save for the other six overlords.

As the two youths stared at each other, a faint pressure began to build up between them. Outside the mystic realm, many people; almost everyone was paying attention to the movements of the seven overlords. They had noticed Jin Bao pause and begin to chase an ordinary youth for a few minutes. This naturally piqued many people's interests in the person. The Yihua clan's Great Elder's pupils shrank and his eyes bulged as he saw the scene of Long Feng and Jin Bao staring at each other.

"Impossible! Didn't that kid get eliminated earlier?" He exclaimed, drawing the Misty Mountain Master's attention.

"It would seem that we underestimated him. He didn't get eliminated back then..." the Misty Mountain Master was also astonished as he replied.

"Who is that? He made Jin Bao to chase after him for a while?" Someone asked.

"No idea. Could he be a strong hidden genius? Maybe Jin Bao got interested in him?" Another person replied.

"Shut up! What do you know? Perhaps Jin Bao just doesn't like him. Do you really think someone can draw the attention of the seven overlords?" Someone spat mockingly. The earlier person nodded, feeling embarrassed.

"Indeed. He stopped running, meaning he knows it's pointless. I was speaking nonsense!" He accepted. Nevertheless, they still paid attention to the two youths. Or specifically Jin Bao. In their eyes, the other youth wasn't anything. Hell, they hadn't even heard of him before now. How could he be strong? Jin Bao probably wanted his token. That was all there was to this.

"Ha! It seems his luck ends here. Too bad for the kid. If we return, we'll make sure to reward him greatly" the Great Elder sighed and shook his head regretfully. In the mystic realm, the tension between Long Feng and Jin Bao reached a limit.

"Kid, what's your name?" Jin Bao finally asked calmly.

"Long Feng" Long Feng replied without hesitation. Jin Bao was almost impressed by Long Feng's calmness.

"You're not bad kid. Your speed is good. And for a rank one spirit realm cultivator to come this far means you have something special about you." He smiled and said. He spoke with a leisure tone, almost as though he was speaking to a friend. Long Feng smiled and nodded without a word. His mind was on high alert as he prepared to retreat at any moment. He couldn't underestimate any of these seven overlord geniuses.

"Long Feng, hand over your token and you can leave. I wouldn't do this normally but I have no choice." Jin Bao wasn't bothered by Long Feng's caution and spoke naturally, as though this was a normal thing. Long Feng stared at him calmly then a thin smile danced on his lips.

"You're asking me to give you my token?" He asked thinly. Jin Bao laughed suddenly.

"Kid, you're misunderstanding something. I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. There's a difference" He explained. Long Feng's smile deepened.

"And if I refuse?" He asked again. Jin Bao stopped laughing and stared at him with surprise.

"Kid, it seems like you don't recognize me do you?"

"Jin Bao, strongest genius of the Wolf Alliance Overlord Continent, one of the seven overlord geniuses. No one doesn't recognize you here" Long Feng replied calmly, the thin smile still on his lips. Jin Bao was obviously startled a bit.

"So you know me and you ask me that? Good. I like your courage. Let me answer your question. You don't have a choice to refuse. I'll simply break a few bones and take it myself. I could also wait for the token to reform and take it again and again till you're eliminated. I'm sure you know what to do, kid?" He asked calmly. Long Feng began to laugh. He found all of these geniuses ridiculous. They were strong, so no one else's opinion or choice meant anything to them? This was the cultivation world?

"Why are you laughing kid?" Jin Bao asked with a frown. He was beginning to lose interest and become impatient already. He would have already taken action against anyone else, but facing this youth, he felt... hesitation.

"I'm laughing at your arrogance. It looks like I've been wrong. I've hid my strength thinking I'll draw trouble to myself, but I forgot that weakness is trouble itself." Long Feng replied with a laugh. He was quite fed up with all these. He was innately reckless. And very prideful. Back in the Mortal heaven sect, he had challenged Han Man because the latter had pointed a finger at him. Although he had gotten more mature, he definitely didn't lose his pride. He could endure once, but he couldn't take anymore.

It was about time he let lose here. Hiding his strength wouldn't bring anything more than extra trouble from people who thought he was weak. He was trying to avoid trouble by merely aiming for the top twenty, but he forgot human nature. He forgot what that could cause. Who was to say if he still wouldn't draw enemies by ebm getting into the top three hundred? Or hundred? And if he didn't get a force to back him after this, then he would truly have no one to protect him.

But if he gave it his all and got the backing of a three star force, them no one would dare to question him even if they ate a bear's heart and had ten times the courage. Jin Bao stared at Long Feng in confusion.

"What're you saying kid? Are you trying to defy me?"

"I am a swordsman. What did teacher said back then... follow your heart. My heart is my pride." Long Feng smiled and stared at Jin Bao right in the eye.

"I'm not trying to defy you or anything. You want my token?" He took out his token and began to play with it on his palm. Jin Bao stared at him coldly"Hand it over kid. I won't ask politely again!" Long Feng stared back coldly and spat a reply, "Come... and... take... it!"
