Chapter 706: Chapter 226: King vs. King! Avoid Your Spearhead?! Hidden Item "Rebirth Compass
And that single moment of carelessness sealed his fate.
"Now!"
Ferocious killing intent erupted in the eyes of Yu Hai and Yan Hu at the same time!
The next second, they shot forward like two arrows loosed from a bowstring, attacking from the left and right!
An inky-black dagger appeared in Yu Hai’s hand, and he silently thrust it toward the Martial Artist’s back, aiming for his heart.
Meanwhile, Yan Hu’s fist gathered the force of a landslide and a tsunami as he furiously smashed it toward the man’s skull!
Both were experts whose Indestructible Projection construction was around 20%, and they had launched their fatal ambush while their target’s mind was completely relaxed.
The Martial Artist from Galaxy 118, with a construction level of only 2%, couldn’t even put up a sliver of decent resistance.
A look of absolute horror and disbelief had just flashed in his eyes before his entire body was pulverized by their ferocious combined assault, vaporizing in an instant!
Another contestant, freshly restored by Rebirth, was instantly eliminated.
"Hmph, not bad. Another one down."
Yu Hai flicked the nonexistent bloodstains from his dagger, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
This method of lying in wait to hunt them, while despicable, was surprisingly efficient.
Beside him, however, Yan Hu’s brow furrowed slightly, his face showing a trace of unconcealable worry.
He walked over to Yu Hai and asked in a low voice using his Mental Power, "Yu Hai, about us killing Flame Crow... I’m guessing it’s already blown up on their private forums. Our first ambush failed, after all. That guy got away and ran for a long time, so the news has probably spread everywhere."
"If Caesar finds out about this, he’ll blame us for acting without orders. He might even... kill us with his own hands."
Yan Hu’s voice was filled with reverence and fear for that god-like man.
"It doesn’t matter."
But Yu Hai just waved his hand dismissively, his face twisting into a vicious smile.
He lowered his voice and said, "Yan Hu, what are you afraid of? All of Caesar’s attention is focused on breaking through to the Stellar level. He doesn’t have time to deal with us."
"Back in the day, while Qin Feng had Caesar’s attention, didn’t we sneak a bunch of golden fragments out of the core area of the Barbaric Beast Graveyard? He never found out, did he?"
"Besides..."
A glint of greed flashed in Yu Hai’s eyes.
"...we have this ’elimination item’."
If we eliminate just two more people, we can complete this hidden elimination quest.
The quest rewards are incredibly generous! Enough for both of us to have a smooth ride all the way to the Stellar level!"
"The Stellar level!"
Yan Hu’s breathing instantly quickened.
The term held a fatal allure for any Planetary-level Martial Artist.
"Think about it,"
Yu Hai said, "Once we get the reward, we’ll just find a place to hide and focus on our training. When we reach the Stellar level, who’s going to care about Caesar?"
"When that time comes, if we feel like showing him some respect, he can still be our boss. But if we don’t..."
A vicious glint flashed in Yu Hai’s eyes.
"I’ll put him in the ground!"
These treasonous words made Yan Hu’s heart tremble.
But immediately after, his desire for the Stellar level crushed all his fear.
The same look of greed and resolve appeared on his face.
"Alright! Let’s do it!"
Seeing Yan Hu had finally made his decision, Yu Hai nodded in satisfaction.
They each retrieved an item from their Subspace Storage Units: a palm-sized fragment that looked like a piece of an ancient stone disk.
One fragment was inky-black, the other a lustrous, jade-like white. Together, they formed a pattern resembling the Tai Chi symbol of the Yin-Yang Fish.
This was the "elimination item" they had mentioned—the Rebirth Compass.
They stared silently at the Compass fragments in their hands, waiting for the coordinates of their next prey.
However, they didn’t get their prey.
What they got was the Death God.
The very instant they focused their full attention on the Compass fragments, a terrifying aura descended without warning—an aura so vast and indescribable it could make the entire planet tremble!
Yu Hai and Yan Hu’s bodies instantly went rigid!
In that moment, the greed and confidence on their faces were replaced by an endless, soul-deep terror!
They snapped their heads up.
High in the dim yellow sky above, an ancient, silver-white tower had appeared at some unknown time. It was so immense it blotted out the sky, constructed entirely of endless runes!
The ancient tower seemed as if it didn’t exist on this planet, but was instead a force of Suppression descending directly from a higher dimension!
Beneath this ancient tower, a figure hovered silently.
He wore tattered power armor and held a black Long Spear. A pair of eyes, so cold they were devoid of any emotion, looked down on them with indifference.
"Qin Feng!"
"This is bad! Quick—"
A horrified roar had just escaped Yu Hai’s lips.
But it was too late.
There wasn’t the slightest ripple of emotion in Qin Feng’s eyes.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste a single word on the two who had caused Flame Crow’s downfall and were still hunting other contestants with such despicable methods.
He unleashed Heaven Devourer!
In Yu Hai and Yan Hu’s perception, the entire world vanished.
The sky, the earth, the stars... everything was swallowed by an incomprehensible power in that instant. The world around them solidified, and it felt as if not even light could escape.
Their bodies were frozen, unable to move.
The tip of the black spear touched the space between their eyebrows.
PFFT.
A soft sound.
The two experts, whose Indestructible Projection construction had reached 20%, turned into two streams of basic light particles and dissipated completely over the barren planet.
An instant kill!
Now that Qin Feng had built his Immortal Tower to 40%, his strength had reached a league of its own!
On this battlefield, everyone besides Caesar could be instantly killed by Qin Feng!
Following their deaths, a series of notifications appeared on Qin Feng’s participant Jade Token.
