erstood and nodded.He had never expected to find any leverage against the Qi Wangfu from those assassins, to bring them down."Go on, cultivate diligently. Strength is the ultimate path. As for the r...Whoosh!

Su Xin went straight for the kill.

A hazy sword light flared up.

Like a dream, like an illusion.

The speed was incredibly fast.

Phantom Scroll Second Form, Shadow Manipulation!

"No good!"

The purple-haired elder who was presiding over the battle changed his expression instantly and wanted to step forward to stop it.

However, Su Xin's swordsmanship was too fast. Tu San was already severely injured, and perhaps he didn't expect his trump card to fail to kill Su Xin. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.

Bah!

A blade of icy light flashed, and Tu San's entire head flew off.

Not until Tu San's head rolled to the ground did the purple-haired elder arrive before Su Xin.

Seeing the corpse of Tu San lying there, the purple-haired elder's face darkened. "Su Xin, you have guts! You dare to kill someone during the hunt!"

"A joke He's trying to kill me, and I can't even retaliate" Su Xin retorted in a low voice, showing no fear at all.

Now he is fuming mad.

The old man with purple hair frowned.

Although he had announced the rules before this final stage hunt began, forbidding killing,

Just now, everyone saw it clearly.

It was clearly Tusan Xian who made the first move and did it very cruelly.

Su Xin immediately withdrew his hand, but Tu San seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

Most importantly, the black needle contained terrifyingly potent poison.

This clearly intends for Su Xin to die here immediately, giving him no chance of survival.

Such ruthlessness would anger anyone...

The purple-haired elder couldn't help but turn his gaze to the Heavenly Flame Emperor on the high platform.

He is no longer in control of the situation.

And Heavenly Flame Emperor waved his hand and said, “It was Tu San who made the first move to kill Su Xin, intending to put him to death. Su Xin fought back and killed him, it’s also justified, not against the rules.”

"Take Zhu San's body down, the hunt continues."

"The purple-haired old man nodded."

Soon, someone came forward to collect Tǔ Sān's body and disposed of the black needle and the remaining poison on the ground.

As for Su Xin, he walked down the battlefield with a sullen face.

The venue was already abuzz with excitement.

Such terrifyingly potent poison, really ruthless.

"This Tu San is clearly trying to kill Su Xin! Did these two have some irreconcilable grudge before"

“While Su Xin was caught off guard, he suddenly attacked with speed and ferocity. The black needle was still carrying such terrifying poison. Fortunately, Su Xin managed to block it in time, otherwise, if he had been pierced by that black needle, he would have probably died on the spot!”

I didn't see it at all, this Tu San is actually so vicious. During the battle, he didn't say a word.

A dog that bites doesn't bark; that's the true kind of viciousness!

……

Everyone was discussing it.

Nobody expected such a scene to appear on the hunt.

And Su Xin had already retreated to outside the battlefield, Duan Yunfeng immediately stepped forward.

"Su Xin, are you alright" Duan Yunfeng asked.

"It's okay. Su Xin shook his head.

"Du San, what grudge do you have with him that you would be so crazy and desperate to kill him" Duan Yunfeng frowned and asked.

"Resentment" Su Xin's eyes narrowed.

What grudge could he possibly have against Tu San

If there is any resentment, it lies behind the actions of Tu San… It's all the fault of the Qi Royal Manor!

Before this, Su Xin had suspected that the Qi Royal Family was very close to the Situ family. Could it be that the Yalong Guards who raided Su's house before were sent by that Qi Wang

Now that the incident with Tu San has happened, there's no need to doubt anymore.

Su Xin was certain, Yinglongwei were sent by the King of Qi.

Only then would Tu San be so frantic on this hunt, eager to kill himself.

"King Qi!"

Su Xin couldn't help but clench his hands, his eyes filled with killing intent.

And on the platform, Prince Xia Yuanji of Qi Wangfu sat in one of the positions.

When the Prince saw that Tu San was killed by Su Xin, he too was filled with rage.

"Trash!"

"That Si Tu Yu is a waste, this Tu San, even like this, can't kill Su Xin, he's also a waste!"

Xia Yuanji growled, not the least bit worried that those around him would hear his words.

Even if you heard, even if you knew it was he who sent the assassins to kill San, so what Who dares to come after him

Even if Heavenly Flame Emperor heard it, he would probably pretend not to have.

As for Tu San's death, Xia Yuanji didn't care at all.

He is nothing but a house slave, even if he has some talent, he has long lost his humanity and become an emotionless machine.

Even if he entered the Heavenly Flame Palace and was cultivated with its resources, the probability of him becoming a Nirvana Realm expert would still be extremely low. His use to the Qi Wangfu wouldn't be significant either. Death is death.

Xia Yuanji was only furious, Su Xin's life was big, even like this, he didn't die.

And behind Xia Yuanji, there stood a gaunt, hunchbacked old man.

This hunchbacked old man was a guest minister under the command of the Qi Prince's Mansion, and he was deeply loyal to the Qi Prince.

At this moment, the old man's gaze was unexpectedly deep as he looked in the direction of Emperor Tianyan.

"Having Tu San face Su Xin in advance was deliberately arranged by the Heavenly Flame Sovereign. I'm afraid this Heavenly Flame Sovereign had long guessed that with the prince's temperament, he would definitely order Tu San to kill Su Xin."

“And this killing… If Su Xin were truly killed, the Su family would likely go mad. Although they have fallen from grace, they once managed to detain an entire squadron of Yinglong Guards sent by the king. This Su family may indeed have some unknown cards up their sleeve. Once they went berserk, they would pose a serious threat to the king as well.

Even if he hadn't been able to kill Su Xin, the act of attacking him would have exposed their feud completely. Moreover, Su Xin was likely to kill Tu San out of anger at that time, preventing Tu San from entering the Tianyan Palace.

The stooped old man pondered deeply.

The Dragon Guard squad that was there before, was indeed sent by the King of Qi.

Yet this matter remained hidden in the shadows, unraveled. Even though some members of the Su family had suspicions and doubts, they dared not confront the Qi Wangfu lightly based on these guesses.

But now, it has been completely exposed.

"Exposing the grievances thoroughly, causing the Su family, including the talented Su Xin and Prince Qi's Mansion, to be completely at odds with each other! That is one!"

"By using Su Xin's hand, kill Tu San, preventing the Qi Wangfu from having another potential talent who might reach the Nirvana Realm in the future. This is the second point!"

"Letting Tu San attack in broad daylight, letting everyone know the ruthlessness of Prince Qi's Mansion, this is its third offense!"

"One stone, three birds. The key is that he's still staying out of it himself. This Heavenly Flame Emperor is truly a cunning one."

The old man with stooped shoulders sighed deeply.

At the beginning of the struggle for the throne, this Heavenly Flame Emperor was actually at a disadvantage. However, he was ultimately able to turn the tide and achieve victory. His ability and political acumen were truly extraordinary.

Though the Heavenly Flame Emperor appears to have taken no action against Qi Wangfu on the surface, in reality, he has been secretly pressuring the manor everywhere.

Unfortunately, even though the hunchbacked old man saw through Emperor Tianyan's plan, he couldn't convince Xia Yuanyi to change his mind and not kill Su Xin.

After all, Xia Yuanyi was just that kind of person, and King Qi was very indulgent towards him as well.

Even sometimes, King Qi would deliberately use Xia Yuanji's personality to eliminate dissidents.

As for the Su family, if they want to confront us head-on, let them. They are a long-fallen family, and even if they have some tricks up their sleeves, the Qi Wangfu wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Perhaps the only threat this genius named Su Xin poses is a potential one that lies ahead.

……

The second round of the eighteen-nine competition, with nine matches completed.

And the nine winners, including Su Xin, Xia Mang, and Duan Yunfeng, have already been confirmed to be absorbed into the Tianyan Palace.

As for the last one, he was chosen from among those talented individuals who had been defeated in the previous nine battles.

Originally, even if Tu San lost to Su Xin, as long as he didn't do anything foolish, he could still fight for the last spot.

But unfortunately, he was killed on the spot by Su Xin, so there was only a choice from among the eight defeated geniuses.

Last of all, a genius named Ling Yu joined Su Xin and the other eight.

From now on, for this hunt, the top ten strongest will be directly granted qualification to cultivate in the Tianyan Palace.

This hunt is still not entirely over.

On the battlefield, ten talented individuals stood in a line. Besides Xia Mang, Su Xin, and Duan Yunfeng, who had absolute confidence in their own strength, the other few people appeared somewhat excited.

Phew!

A figure suddenly floated onto the battlefield, it was the Lord of the Heavenly Moon Palace from the Heavenly Flame Palace. She smiled faintly at the ten geniuses before her.

You ten have already been confirmed to be absorbed into the Tianyan Palace, becoming disciples of the Tianyan Palace. And within the Tianyan Palace, the most important thing is the 'Fire Point'.

"The Tianyan Palace will assign each of you a different initial 'Fire Spark' based on your ranking in this hunt."

6th to 10th place: Awarded one thousand fire points.

Fourth place, fifth place: Two thousand fire points

Third place: 3,000 Fire Points

Second place: 5,000 fire points

"And hunting first, you can directly get ten thousand fire points!"

As for how many fire points each of you will ultimately get, that depends on your own efforts and competition.

After finishing his words, the Palace Master of Emperor Moon returned to his own seat.

"What's the point"

These ten geniuses looked at each other, each clenching their hands.

Tianyan Palace has existed in the Tianyan Dynasty for so long, absorbing so many geniuses. Much information about Tianyan Palace is already known to the world.

For example, this spark...

Within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, many people know that there are special "fire points" within the Tianyan Palace. Most of the cultivation resources in the Tianyan Palace, including everything that helps with cultivation, need to be exchanged for fire points.

For these geniuses, the more fire points, the better.

First place gets ten thousand points, while places six through ten only get a thousand. That's a tenfold difference.

Therefore, these ten geniuses still want to charge and get more fire points.

"The next match, you yourselves will draw the order of battle. Come to me and I will oversee the hunt," said the purple-haired elder who presided over the contest.

By the final showdown, these ten prodigies were destined to enter Tiyan Palace regardless. The only difference was the amount of fire points they would receive.

Therefore, there's no need for the Red Dragon Pavilion to specially set a battle order or avoid those top-tier geniuses.

Soon, all ten geniuses had each drawn their own battle order.

Five matches have already been decided.

Su Xin's opponent is a genius named Mo Bing, who is a woman.

And Duan Yunfeng met Xia Mang.

"Brother, my luck is really terrible. Just getting started, and I run into Xia Mang! Of all people!"

“I originally thought I could at least reach fourth or fifth place, maybe even third. But now it seems like I can only make it between sixth and tenth place, with only a thousand fire points.”

Duan Yunfeng was crying and wearing a somber expression, with some complaining.

Even if it's third place, it's only 3,000 fire points, the gap isn't that big. Su Xin smiled.

Soon after, Su Xin and Mo Bing appeared on the battlefield.
