Five days later.
Deep in the Ancient Desolate Danger Zone.
A black-clothed figure leapt up, holding a heavy greatsword in his hand. He wildly hacked at an iron-armored giant python below!
It was Ye Xiu.
"Spit it out! Spit it out! Spit it out for me!"
Ye Xiu seemed to have gone mad, frantically slashing away!
The iron-armored giant python struggled desperately, emitting endless miserable shrieks.
Every slash left cracks on its iron armor.
If it could speak, the python would surely say this human was freaking insane. It had only swallowed a millennium blood ginseng, yet this guy chased and hounded it for so long!
Moreover, its extremely sturdy iron snake scales could not withstand each heavy slash.
This iron-armored giant python had the strength comparable to an initial Star Cave Realm expert. Its scales were extremely hard, which even a Star Cave Realm expert of the third or fourth heaven would not easily shatter.
Yet under Ye Xiu's heavy sword, every slash felt like the crushing weight of a massive mountain. Even the python's iron armor could not withstand it at all.
The relentless assault continued for nearly ten minutes.
Finally, Ye Xiu leapt up, grasping the sword with both hands as his sword intent fully erupted. The stars in his body also instantly poured into his hands.
The power of this sword, was the pinnacle of Ye Xiu's strike!
The sword stabbed straight towards the python's eye with tremendous might and sword intent, abruptly unleashing a frantic storm. An energy as if wanting to shatter this void poured into the heavy sword!
Boom!
The python's eyeball exploded, and the heavy sword went straight through, piercing a hole in the python's head!
The struggling iron-armored giant python gradually stiffened and stilled.
Ye Xiu lay on the python's body, panting heavily.
This was really freaking hard to deal with.
These five days, he had been wandering the outer regions of the Ancient Desolate Danger Zone.
Using his treasure seeking eyes, he had found countless treasures and precious materials.
However, due to the eyes siphoning his energy, after five days he had just reached the pinnacle of the second heaven of the Star Cave Realm.
As for the Myriad Star Tianyuan Art, it also made some progress, reaching one hundred and thirty stars.
The heavy sword in his hand was also acquired these days. It was not considered a great sword, but a mystic instrument. Combined with his heavy sword intent, the power unleashed with the heavy sword far exceeded using a regular sword.
The reason he had chased and hacked at this iron-armored giant python, was because he had finally found a millennium blood ginseng with great difficulty. This giant python had suddenly burst out from the ground and swallowed the millennium blood ginseng in one gulp.
Ye Xiu of course could not tolerate this.
He desperately needed heavenly treasures now. Even if it was just a root hair of the millennium blood ginseng, he could not let it go, let alone the python swallowing the whole thing!
If not for the python swallowing his millennium blood ginseng, it would not have died so tragically.
After recovering a bit, Ye Xiu turned the python over and lifted his heavy sword, directly slashing open its abdomen.
Seeing the blood-red millennium blood ginseng inside, Ye Xiu finally grinned.
High up in the sky, Mu Yuxue could hardly bear to watch this scene.
This brat had gone crazy searching for treasures these days.
No matter where treasures were, he would dig three feet into the ground or wrest it from a beast's stomach. He would do anything.
Of course, what astonished Mu Yuxue the most, was that Ye Xiu seemed to find treasures wherever he went, as if he had eyes that could detect treasures.
This was too illogical.
One must know, countless people came to the Ancient Desolate Danger Zone hoping for a stroke of fortune, yet many would die without finding a single decent treasure.
But Ye Xiu?
Just these days, first a mystic instrument greatsword, then earth orchids, magical nectar, millennium blood ginseng...and so on.
At the very least no less than forty to fifty treasures!
Each one immensely valuable.
Yet in Ye Xiu's hands, it was like child's play.
Everywhere he went, he found treasures unerringly.
Even with Mu Yuxue's state of mind, she could not help feeling a tinge of envy.
She even suspected, could there really be someone born under a lucky star? This luck was just too freakish.
Just as Ye Xiu took out the millennium blood ginseng, about to directly swallow it, a terrifying killing intent suddenly assaulted him.
From all directions, ten black-clothed figures dove down from the sky.
They neatly surrounded Ye Xiu.
Oppressive killing intent enveloped the area.
Ye Xiu looked around. These ten were clearly from the same group, each wearing a ghost mask engraved with a black crescent moon. Every one of them emanated a aura of killing intent.
It was not difficult to deduce that to emit such killing intent, one must have taken countless lives. Otherwise it was impossible to even make the aura reek of chilling killing intent.
Assassin organization?
This was Ye Xiu's intuitive thought.
Right now, the man staring straight at Ye Xiu spoke greedily, his gaze fixed upon the millennium blood ginseng in Ye Xiu's hand, "Didn't expect you to have such a treasure. Our five days of tailing you were not in vain."
"Who are you people?" Ye Xiu's voice abruptly turned icy.
The man coldly laughed, "We merely take money to kill for our employer."
Hearing this, Ye Xiu's first thought was naturally the Luotian Holy Palace. Only the Luotian Holy Palace would hire assassins.
"Seems the Luotian Holy Palace still can't let go..." Ye Xiu said coldly. A shocking killing intent erupted from him.
"Brat, less nonsense. Obediently offer up your life!"
In that moment, a figure behind Ye Xiu leapt up into the air. His hand held a massive hammer that swept out, smashing down towards the back of Ye Xiu's head!
A trace of icy cold ruthlessness flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes. He fiercely gripped his heavy sword as heavy sword intent surged forth. Star power then poured into his hands without reservation!
Spinning around, the heavy-as-thousand-pounds greatsword swept out horizontally!
"If you want to kill me, you're still far from enough!"
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
