Coming to Die

Six Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoths, equivalent to six martial artists at the tenth level of the Primal Energy Realm.

After being forced out from underground by Xia Wuji's Sword Qi, these six behemoths let out massive roars.

Immediately after.

Six gray beams of light shot out, all aimed at Xia Wuji!

Xia Wuji swept his sword forward, the sword light brilliant and the sharp Sword Qi whistling, tearing apart all six gray beams of light that shot towards him!

The six Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoths all swung their thick stone arms, smashing down fiercely at Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji snorted coldly, the power of his blood and qi suddenly erupted!

In an instant, from his feet, the power of his blood and qi grew out like endless roots, drawing in the power of the earth within a radius of over thirty meters!

At this moment, Xia Wuji seemed to have become one with the earth within a radius of over thirty meters, a powerful and heavy aura emanating from him.

He swept his sword horizontally!

A Profound Tier Low-grade sword technique, Earth Sword Wave!

The powerful Earth energy, combined with Xia Wuji's Sword Essence, transformed into a layer of sharp light waves that swept out. This layer of Earth Sword Wave swept over the six Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoths!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The six Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoths directly turned into scattered fragments!

Six Three-Eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoths killed in one sword strike!

The battle ended instantly.

Xia Wuji withdrew the blood and qi power that had spread out. This Earth Foot divine ability truly did not disappoint him; as long as he stood firm on the ground, he could possess astonishing explosive power.

Especially when combined with the Earth Sword Wave technique, they complemented each other perfectly.

He took out his registration token.

The number of points on the token: seven hundred and sixty-eight.

"There are still three days left until the third round of assessment ends."

"Without the Thick Earth Formation to attract Rock-Swallowing Behemoths, I'll have to continue using my Spiritual Eye to track the energy flow within the Secret Realm and find the Rock-Swallowing Behemoths."

"It's a bit slow, but compared to others, I still have a huge advantage."

Xia Wuji would not be satisfied with the current situation.

Because this assessment offered a chance to directly skip the identity of an Outer Court Disciple and become an Inner Court Disciple of Azure Star Academy.

Becoming an Inner Court Disciple would grant him much better cultivation resources than an Outer Court Disciple, and it would also make it easier for him to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of Qin Zhiyin, the former Peak Master of Shaking Light Peak at Azure Star Academy.

He wanted to use this clue to find his mother's whereabouts.

Another day passed.

Xia Wuji used his Spiritual Eye to search for Rock-Swallowing Behemoths. His accumulated points had reached eight hundred and thirty-two.

There were two days left until the assessment ended.

"I wonder how Huang Hu and Xu Lan are doing?" Xia Wuji murmured to himself.

Just then, his brow furrowed, and he looked into the distance.

"Come out!"

A cold shout rang out.

Immediately, a man walked out from behind a pile of rubble.

As the man was stared at by Xia Wuji's sharp gaze, he felt extremely uneasy, his whole body trembling.

"Xia Wuji... I have no ill intentions. I was just hiding here to recover my strength..." the man said, stammering slightly, clearly terrified.

"Please believe me... I really have no intentions towards you..."

"Oh, right, I'm actually quite familiar with Huang Hu. My family and the Huang family are old acquaintances... When Huang Hu got into trouble a couple of days ago, I even helped him out a little..."

"Huang Hu got into trouble? What happened?" Xia Wuji asked.

The man quickly replied, "You don't know? I thought you already knew..."

"Speak!" Xia Wuji had no patience for his rambling.

"It... it was the Sixth Prince who made a move..."

"The Sixth Prince said that you killed the Twelfth Prince Chu Jue and that he wants to tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes... But the Sixth Prince couldn't find you, so he captured Huang Hu and Xu Lan, who you are quite close to..."

"Now, the Sixth Prince has hung Huang Hu and Xu Lan up and is torturing them, trying to force you to show yourself..."

"You haven't appeared, so I thought you were deliberately avoiding the Sixth Prince's authority."

"Where are they?" Xia Wuji's expression turned incredibly grim.

He quite admired Huang Hu's character. Huang Hu was sincere towards him, and now, it wasn't Huang Hu who had sought trouble, but rather, because of him, Huang Hu and Xu Lan had been implicated.

This was something Xia Wuji naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

The person before Xia Wuji immediately stated the specific location.

After learning the location.

Xia Wuji instantly activated his Cloud Soaring Steps, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from his original spot.

At the foot of a mountain.

Huang Hu and Xu Lan were both suspended by iron chains.

"Slap!"

"Slap, slap, slap!"

One person held a long whip and lashed out forcefully.

The long whip continuously fell upon Huang Hu and Xu Lan.

It lashed them until their skin was torn and flesh was ripped, their bodies covered in blood. However, both had been tortured to the brink of death, too weak to even let out a scream.

"Hmph!"

"Ignorant fools!"

"Xia Wuji is going against the royal family, and you still dared to get so close to him. This is all your own fault, you brought this upon yourselves!"

"Do you think that just because Xia Wuji showed potential in the first two rounds of the assessment, you could latch onto him and rise to prominence?"

"How laughable!"

"To this day, Xia Wuji hasn't dared to show himself to save you!"

"If he doesn't come, when the assessment ends, it will be the day of your deaths!"

The man wielding the long whip and lashing Huang Hu and Xu Lan had a ferocious expression. After cracking the whip a few more times, he ran towards Chu Yang, who was not far away.

"Sister Lan... I'm sorry... I dragged you down..." Huang Hu's body swayed in the air. He looked at Xu Lan beside him, his weak voice filled with deep guilt.

Xu Lan: "Brother Huang... I... I don't blame you... It's just... Young Master Xia... will he come to save us..."

Huang Hu fell silent.

In this situation... if Xia Wuji came, he would just be walking into a tiger's den.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince, it seems that Xia Wuji, upon hearing the news, has definitely gone into hiding. He doesn't dare to come," the man who had just tormented Huang Hu and Xu Lan said in a low voice, standing before Chu Yang.

Chu Yang, who had been cultivating with his legs crossed, opened his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.

The man continued, "Your Highness Sixth Prince, you are waiting here for Xia Wuji to come to his death, but he is destined not to appear. You have wasted too much time..."

"Why don't you go hunt the Rock-Swallowing Behemoths first? There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Xia Wuji after the assessment ends. There's no need to rush."

Chu Yang's brows furrowed.

He hadn't gone to hunt Rock-Swallowing Behemoths for the past few days, waiting for Xia Wuji to appear. But Xia Wuji had never shown up, and there was only a day and a half left in the assessment...

His points were only two hundred... Not enough to secure first place.

"It can only be this way."

Chu Yang made his decision. Waiting here idly was not a solution.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince, what should we do with these two good-for-nothings?" the man asked.

Chu Yang let out a cold snort. "Kill them directly!"

"Yes!"

The man acknowledged, immediately turned around, and walked towards Huang Hu and Xu Lan, who were hanging in the air.

He drew the long saber hanging from his waist and sneered, "Don't think this matter is over just because you die. From now on, none of your friends and family will have a good end. This is the price of not having eyes!"

As his voice fell.

The long saber slashed out, aiming for Huang Hu's neck!

Just as the cold blade was about to tear through Huang Hu's neck and sever his head.

"Buzz!"

A crisp sword cry instantly echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

Sword Qi whistled through the air!

"Clang!"

This Sword Qi directly severed the long saber aimed at Huang Hu's neck!

The Sword Qi's momentum did not diminish, its sharpness still fierce, instantly piercing the head of the man who had drawn his saber!

At the same time, a figure streaked through the air at extreme speed.

With a flash of sword light, the iron chains suspending Huang Hu and Xu Lan were severed.

Xia Wuji's body exuded a gentle power, engulfing the two and allowing them to land steadily.

"Xia... Brother Xia..." Huang Hu looked at Xia Wuji, his blood-stained face showing an incredibly complex expression.

Xia Wuji sighed softly, "You two, I apologize. I dragged you down."

"Xia Wuji!" Just then, an enraged roar sounded.

Chu Yang bellowed, "I've finally waited for you to come to your death!"
