With Zhou Ping and others leading the way, the group quickly surged into the canyon.
Lin An, who was fighting the Sin Beast, naturally noticed it as well, but when he realized that the group was still some distance away from him, he stopped approaching and ignored them.
"Wait here and don't disturb him," Zhou Ping said.
"I didn't feel it when we were outside, but now that we're closer, I can truly feel the intense murderous aura emanating from him," Qi Yu remarked.
The intense malevolent aura made it seem as if taking another step forward would be enough to engulf them.
"Why does he insist on hunting these Sin Beast? If he wants rare treasures, he can simply bypass these Sin Beast and head deeper into the canyon," Han Qi said, frowning.
"I wasn't sure before, but now I'm almost certain."
Zhou Ping said, "He is using mountains of corpses and seas of blood to forge an invincible force and hone an invincible heart."
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised and turned their gazes to Zhou Ping.
"Even among geniuses, there are varying levels of talent. Although we may be considered geniuses in Guangwu City, we can only compete within Guangwu City at most."
"If we were to reach the royal city, we so-called prodigies would be nothing more than this."
" Lin An is different from us. With his talent, he would be considered one of the top talents even in the royal city."
"The actions of such a monstrous being are simply beyond our comprehension."
"Take Lin An for example. He put himself in a trap surrounded by Sin Beast. To us, it seems like he's just throwing his life away. But look at the corpses of those Sin Beast around him. Is he really going to his death?"
"He is honing his invincible spirit by putting himself in danger."
Zhou Ping then revealed a self-deprecating expression, "We are no longer from the same world as him. We all thought he came here for that rare treasure, but I'm afraid he didn't care about the treasure at all. He's just here to hunt these Sin Beast."
hiss...
Everyone was shocked by Zhou Ping's words, their eyes fixed on Lin An fighting the Sin Beast, as if they were witnessing the rise of a future top powerhouse.
"No wonder Huang Yan and the others were killed," Han Qi said.
"Yes, Lin An came here to hone his invincible heart by using these Sin Beast. Huang Yan and the others seemed to be helping him, but in reality they were hindering his cultivation. They deserved to die."
Qi Yu nodded and said, "If Lin An were truly a bloodthirsty person, he would probably have already attacked us by now."
The others also suddenly realized what was happening, and their gazes towards Lin An became complicated.
They were only a few hundred meters away from Lin An, but those few hundred meters felt like an insurmountable chasm.
At least, looking at those countless Sin Beast, they absolutely lacked the courage to fight them.
After that, no one spoke again. The only sounds in the canyon were Lin An hunting the Sin Beast and Sin Beast roars.
However, as time went by, some people gradually began to leave.
After all, staying here would bring them no benefit other than witnessing Lin An's power.
It would be better to leave this place and hunt down more Sin Beast while we still have time.
Zhou Ping and the others didn't care at all about these people leaving.
They have already broken through to the Platinum Realm, so there is no need for them to hunt Sin Beast to compete for a spot.
Compared to that, witnessing Lin An hone his invincible spirit firsthand is more meaningful to them. If they can gain something from it, it will greatly benefit their future cultivation path.
In addition, they also planned to rescue Lin An when he was in danger.
Although Lin An is currently fighting bravely, there are still Platinum Realm Sin Beast to contend with later on.
No matter how strong Lin An is, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand tens of thousands of the Platinum Realm Sin Beast.
"Three hours has passed, isn't this guy tired at all? His spiritual energy is still flowing endlessly, he's truly a monster." Han Qi couldn't help but say as he sat on a rock.
Hunting Sin Beast continuously for three hours would be unbearable, even for Lin An as low as the Gold Ninth Grade Realm, let alone someone who had already broken through to the Platinum Realm.
"Otherwise, how could he be considered a monster?"
Zhou Ping said, "Besides, he passed through the existence of the Ancient Spirit Tower. There is a special visualization diagram inside the Ancient Spirit Tower, which is said to allow one to comprehend great Divine Ability. Perhaps this is related to it."
If Lin An were to hear this, he would surely be amazed by Zhou Ping's intelligence.
Although the opponent's guess was wrong, his ability to fight for so long was indeed related to his Divine Ability.
"Is this the method of a prodigy? It's truly beyond our reach," Qi Yu said with a wry smile.
To the people of the lower city, they were indeed considered prodigies, but to Lin An, they seemed utterly mediocre.
Lin An continued his slaughter, and the ever-surging Sin Beast did not frighten him; instead, they excited him even more.
It's unclear how much time passed, but when Lin An finally slew the last Gold Ninth Grade Sin Beast, he had killed all the Sin Beast in the outer area of the entire Gourd Canyon.
Lin An checked his attribute points; they had reached 490,000, just 6,000 or 7,000 short of reaching 500,000.
"Next are the inner perimeter area and the core area."
"There are approximately 30,000 Platinum Realm Sin Beast in the inner area. If we kill them all, our attribute points will increase by about 200,000."
Lin An looked ahead and could still see the figures of the Platinum Realm Sin Beast, in great numbers.
" Platinum Realm Sin Beast are not easy to kill, after all, they can fly."
"Fortunately, the Sin Beast in the Spirit Realm are mindless. If I get close, Sin Beast will naturally charge at me and won't run away."
"However, it is ultimately Platinum Realm Sin Beast; we'll have to use some of our trump cards now."
Lin An thought to himself, then looked at Zhou Ping and the others behind him.
Zhou Ping and the others noticed Lin An's gaze and stepped forward.
"Brother Lin, ahead lies the inner area of Gourd Canyon, filled with the Platinum Realm Sin Beast."
"Although Brother Lin is powerful, he is ultimately no match for so many Platinum Realm Sin Beast. If Brother Lin needs our help, we are willing to lend a hand," Zhou Ping said.
And help again?
Lin An frowned, shook his head, and said, "Brother Zhou, there's no need for your help. I just hope that you will all remain as before and not disturb me."
Zhou Ping and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Is this person planning to hunt down tens of thousands of the Platinum Realm Sin Beast all by themselves?
"Brother Zhou, and everyone else, I'll chat with you all later. I have to get back to work now."
Without waiting for a reply, Lin An turned and walked into the depths of the canyon.
"This..."
Qi Yu and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
They wanted to say that Lin An had gone mad and was courting death.
But the mountains of corpses and seas of blood around them reminded them that Lin An was definitely not that kind of person.
"Let him go if he wants. I'm also very interested to know where his limits are," Zhou Ping said, trying to calm his shock.
If the other party really had single-handedly fought his way through the entire Gourd Canyon at the ninth rank of the Gold Ninth Grade, he couldn't even imagine the uproar that would ensue once the news reached the outside world.
"Even if he's incredibly strong, he should at least rest for a bit. He's been killing for hours," Han Qi said, frowning.
"What a strange thing! You, Han Qi, with that foul mouth, can actually say something caring," Qi Yu laughed, and the others also burst into laughter.
Han Qi wasn't embarrassed at all, and shrugged, saying, "There's nothing I can do, his strength is beyond my control."
The expressions on the faces of the crowd, who had just been laughing, froze.
So, the reason they're being sarcastic towards them is because they're not convinced by them?
"Prepare for a rescue. Such a monstrous talent shouldn't perish here," Zhou Ping said.
Everyone nodded and took out the treasures they had brought, ready to help if Lin An was outmatched.
