Chapter 335 (2/2)

Pu, another died to his spear!

…

The last two humanoids who fled were easily taken care of.

Xue Ying came out of the Mirage to see that there was still a little less than half of the hourglass still filled with sand. He revealed a grin. “Acting weak actually makes the battle so much easier.”

In the first fight, he used his whole strength to kill those weaker nine beasts, which ended up with him barely finishing the battle within an hourglass worth of time.

Facing the stronger six indigo humanoids, however, his weak persona gave him a chance to get rid of four, while leaving behind only two who decided to flee! Altogether, he had more than enough time to finish the battle.

Acting weak was a simple tactic. As long as he unleashed his secret skill, the Star Meteor Annihilation, at a slow speed, even slower than his Extreme Piercing, the threat perceived by his enemies would naturally be drastically lower! The indigo humanoids were actually able to resist against his attacks. After he used the Mirage Avatars to switch positions and attack the indigo humanoids without warning, they only felt something was amiss when he killed three of them in a row.

How could such strange events be coincidental? Their combat powers were comparable, yet Xue Ying could easily get rid of half of them?

“Only the last batch of opponents remains.” Xue Ying stood on the blood-colored battle platform, waiting silently.

Finally.

Once the sand in the hourglass finished falling, the hourglass once again flipped. On the cold, crude, blood-colored battle platform, three figures started to form. They were all lean and slender, humanoid in shape, and about 1.5 meters tall with relatively long arms. They each had a pair of conspicuous sharp claws! Their skin was azure in color, and a single tattered piece of cloth was covering their waists.

Xue Ying momentarily froze, paling.

“Hunters!” Xue Ying felt a surge of both fury and anxiety in his heart.

This was the first batch of opponents he had information on from this Blood Battle Platform. No records were available on either of the two previous batches

There was, however, a very clear information report on these lean, slender figures!

They were known as Hunters.

Why did it have to be Hunters? Why not Roaring Battle Generals? Or Thunder Emissaries? Countless thoughts crossed Xue Ying’s mind in a split of a second. How…just how am I supposed to deal with them?

Hunters—they were the opponent Xue Ying wanted to meet least, since their specialty was precisely one which could counter Xue Ying!

Hunters were constructs condensed by the arrays just like the other opponents, but their combat techniques were on a whole different level. They grasped hold of the grade two Deity Heart of Minute!

The True Meaning of Minute…was a whole level above the grade three True Meaning of Particles.

As a grade two True Meaning, even if it did counter Xue Ying, it would not mean much if the opponents were also at the stage three realm. After all, Xue Ying had three True Meanings at hand, as well as a secret skill.

However!

The moment they broke through, the moment the True Meaning of Minute reached the Deity Heart realm, the situation would rapidly turn sour.

Ordinary armors, Deity warrior protectors, Qi material defenses…all of that became useless under the attacks of a Minute Deity Heart user! Xue Ying had the Mirage body, so his defenses were greatly increased, but compared to his offensive ability, his physical techniques, and other aspects, his defenses still remained his weakest point.

He had a secret skill to boost his offense!

He could easily switch positions with his Mirage Avatars, which served him greatly when it came performing physical feats!

The only relative weakness he had was a weak fleshy body.

“Bring it on.” Xue Ying was aware that the situation had just become troublesome, but he had no escape route.

Inside the Blood Battle Platform, either he would die, or all of his opponents would die! There was no alternative.

Luckily, my Mirage body gives me at least the opportunity to fight them. I’d die in a single move without it, Xue Ying thought. Actually, without the Mirage technique, even the Black Iron Cannon Army retiree from the third vine leaf world—the fat hunk—would have easily defeated him. Clearly, Xue Ying’s combat power had still reached a certain baseline for him to have reached this stage.

Three of them… Xue Ying tried to formulate a plan as quick as possible. Fighting even one was already tough for him, so what could he do against three?

The dark yellow eyes of the three Hunters shifted as they exchanged glances with one another. Their figures blurred, turning into three different arcs as they approached Xue Ying.
