Chen Nan never felt guilty about swindling others.
It wasn't that he was heartless.
It was just that he felt those he swindled deserved it...
He looked towards the hunting grounds ahead.
They were filled with slaughter and laments.
And unbridled laughter.
On the hill.
Guo Yu stood silently.
Like a sharp sword pointing directly at the heavens.
Giving people a sense of being able to shake mountains and rivers.
The hunt had long since begun.
But he had yet to shoot an arrow.
Because he was waiting for the absolute opportune moment.
The moment that could instantly kill those demonic beasts.
Seeing a demonic beast gravely injured and sluggish.
Seeing Tuo Kai nock an arrow and draw his bow towards the wolf king, which was in the Yin Gathering realm.
A glint flashed in his deep eyes.
He nocked and drew his bow.
Whoosh!
An arrow traversed the distance of space.
Piercing through the wolf king's ear and through its head.
Splashing a spray of crimson blood.
And at this very moment.
Tuo Kai's arrow embedded itself in the wolf king's right eye.
However.
The wolf king was already dead.
The fatal blow was delivered by Guo Yu.
Tuo Kai, his face filled with rage, roared at Guo Yu on the hillside, "You damn bastard, how dare you steal my prey? Are you tired of living?"
Many were greatly surprised.
Although it was permissible to snatch the same prey during a competition.
Guo Yu openly snatching the prey that Tuo Kai was about to secure.
This was clearly slapping Tuo Kai in the face!
After all, for so long since the competition began.
Tuo Kai had been relentlessly pursuing that wolf king in the Yin Gathering realm.
He had shot five arrows to kill it.
These five arrows had successfully gravely wounded the wolf king.
If nothing unexpected happened.
His sixth arrow would surely kill the wolf king.
Who would have thought that Guo Yu would snatch it before him, this guy in the Yin Gathering realm.
In other words.
All five of Tuo Kai's arrows had been for naught!
"Young brother, excellent archery." Tao Jun roared with laughter.
He had not expected Guo Yu to dare to hunt the prey that rightfully belonged to Tuo Kai.
Even less had he expected this fellow's archery to be so astonishing.
Truly not to be underestimated.
Guo Yu's gaze was indifferent.
Standing on the hill, he looked down at Tuo Kai below, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, "So what if I snatched your prey?"
Guo Yu was inherently kind and simple.
But he was not a pushover who could be manipulated at will.
Even setting aside everything else.
Chen Nan had asked him to help Tao Jun win first place.
This would definitely offend Tuo Kai.
After all, his strength was comparable to Tao Jun's.
In that case.
What difference did it make whether he offended him early or late?
What if he acted more domineeringly?
"Since you wish to die, I, your young master, will fulfill your wish, you dog!"
Tuo Kai was enraged, nocked an arrow, and drew his bow, an arrow locking onto Guo Yu on the hill.
Whoosh!
The arrow broke through the air towards Guo Yu.
Just as it reached its halfway point.
Guo Yu moved!
He did not retreat, but instead angrily drew his bow and swiftly shot an arrow!
The two arrows collided in mid-air.
But it was not the case of both arrows falling simultaneously.
Instead, the arrow shot by Guo Yu broke through Tuo Kai's arrow.
And shot towards Tuo Kai with lightning speed.
What the heck!
How could such a thing happen?
Everyone was dumbfounded, their hearts churning with immense waves.
The arrowheads they used were all forged from refined steel.
But why could the arrow shot by Guo Yu break through an arrowhead forged from refined steel?
"Scram!"
Tuo Kai, his face utterly lost, roared in furious shame.
Terrifying Yin energy erupted from his body, successfully blocking the arrow shot by Guo Yu.
He then angrily drew his bow, intending to shoot Guo Yu.
But he was quickly stopped by a subordinate beside him, "Young Master Tuo, absolutely not. To achieve ultimate victory, you must conserve your arrows."
A few simple words.
Made Tuo Kai suppress his anger.
In this competition, everyone only had twenty arrows.
And he had already wasted six shooting that wolf king earlier.
Then he had shot one at Guo Yu just now.
Only thirteen arrows remained in his quiver.
At this moment.
Every single arrow was exceptionally precious.
It absolutely could not be wasted carelessly.
"Young Master Tuo, rest assured, we brothers will definitely help you achieve ultimate victory!" A young man with shifty eyes gave Tuo Kai a knowing glance.
Although they could not give the arrows in their quivers to Tuo Kai.
They could kill a demonic beast at the same time.
And then let Tuo Kai deliver the final blow at the very end.
With this, how could they not achieve a high score?
Tuo Kai nodded slightly, "If I, Tuo Kai, can achieve ultimate victory, I will definitely not mistreat you brothers."
He was determined to obtain the Transformation Pill.
As long as he obtained the Transformation Pill.
He could step into the Soul Devouring realm.
Becoming the sole Soul Devouring realm expert among the younger generation of Guangling Prefecture.
At that time.
Even Tao Jun would pale in comparison to him.
It would make him the Young Master of Guangling,
Instead of the Second Young Master of Guangling, who was on par with Tao Jun.
Although Tao Jun had not heard the private conversations between those over thirty young men and Tuo Kai.
He instinctively felt an ominous premonition upon seeing them gathered and whispering.
Although his grandfather, Duke Tao, was the most respected figure in Guangling Prefecture.
He held no real power.
And Tuo Kai's father, Magistrate Tuo, although a county magistrate.
Possessed extraordinary connections and influence.
Completely able to stand on equal footing with Duke Tao.
Because of this.
More people in their circle tended to favor Tuo Kai.
If these young lords now sided with Tuo Kai and helped him achieve ultimate victory.
That would be a very bad thing for him.
Because the two of them had always been in fierce rivalry.
Although they had each won and lost in the past.
This time was different!
This time, the first prize was a Transformation Pill.
No matter who obtained this pill.
The current peaceful coexistence would inevitably be shattered.
This would determine who would become the strongest among the younger generation of Guangling Prefecture.
And it would also relate to the dignity of Duke Tao and Magistrate Tuo.
Although the outcome was not yet decided.
The young men had already begun to choose sides.
Thinking of this.
He could not help but turn his head to look at Chen Nan, who was a hundred meters behind him.
His gaze became inexplicably solemn.
Initially, he had not taken this fellow Chen Nan seriously.
But now.
He felt the terrifying aspect of this person.
This person's schemes were too deep!
Today, it seemed to be in search of the Song family's four brothers.
But in reality, it was to seize the opportunity to infiltrate their circle.
Yes.
His purpose for coming here was not pure at all.
He wanted to use a Transformation Pill to shatter the peaceful situation between him and Tuo Kai.
He wanted to instigate conflict between Duke Tao and Magistrate Tuo!
Because no matter who won.
The waters of Guangling Prefecture would be stirred up by him.
And he was likely intending to fish in troubled waters!
"I underestimated this guy."
"He's simply a troublemaker!"
"I shouldn't have invited him to participate in the hunt."
Tao Jun regretted inviting Chen Nan to participate in the hunt.
But now.
He had no retreat.
At this very moment.
He saw Chen Nan's friendly smile.
Immediately after, Chen Nan's voice resounded in his mind, "Young Master Tao, there's no need to worry. First place is yours. No one can defeat you."
Tao Jun's eyes lit up.
Could it be that this fellow wanted him to become first place?
Just...
He looked at Guo Yu on the hill, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
His side, not counting himself, had eight other people.
Even adding Guo Yu, that made only ten people.
With only these ten people, how could they contend with the more than thirty people behind Tuo Kai?
How could they achieve ultimate victory???
