The two sides were steep mountain walls, making it nearly impossible to cross in the current situation where the skies were forbidden. The only remaining mountain path, about a yard wide, was intercepted by a group of mysterious Hunters.
If one wanted to pass, it was possible, but it required immense strength; without power, there was only a dead end. Over the past two days, many warriors from Purple Sun Valley had already perished on this mountain path.
The mountain breeze blew gently, yet it could not erase the faint smell of blood lingering in the air.
Many people were waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
And now, the opportunity had arrived...
"Hunter," Fang Chen murmured, gazing calmly into the distance along the mountain path, his expression serene.
Having been reborn and having experienced much of the life of Lu Haotian, a powerful figure from Nirvana Realm, he may still be at the Body Refinement Realm, but he had long transcended this level. Whether in strength, vision, or mindset, Fang Chen could look down upon everything at this level. In fact, if he wished, he could break through to Qi Boundary in an instant. After all, his accumulation was simply terrifying.
Thus, the Hunters that many warriors in Purple Sun Valley feared were nothing more than a joke to him. Before obtaining the memories of that Nirvana Realm powerhouse, he had some interest and slight trepidation towards those top-ranked Hunters capable of slaying Qi Boundary warriors. Now, however, all of that was completely gone.
When the qualitative gap is too vast, it cannot simply be bridged by numbers!
"You follow behind me," Fang Chen instructed. He then stepped forward and began walking step by step toward the blood-stained mountain path.
Nodding with a smile on her delicate face, Lian Yiyue lightly moved her lotus-like steps to closely follow Fang Chen. The two walked one after the other into the mountain path.
"They've entered."
"Should we follow them?"
"What if we provoke them? We might not even need Hunters to deal with us; we could end up Fallen directly."
"It's so complicated..."
In the crowd, many people watched as Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue gradually disappeared from view, their expressions shifting as they murmured to themselves.
The mountain path, although occupied by that group of mysterious Hunters, must be traversed through their interception and slaughter. However, not all Hunters will necessarily take action during this process.
After all, while the number of Hunters may not match the warriors from Purple Sun Valley, they are certainly not limited to just a handful. If all of them were to act, even someone like Song Donglai would have to retreat. This would inevitably lead to a full-scale battle with the many warriors from Purple Sun Valley, resulting in a bloodbath until one side is completely wiped out.
Although the number of Hunters is far fewer than the warriors heading to Ziyang Sect, in terms of top-tier combat power—excluding freaks like Fang Chen—they are still above these warriors. Moreover, they currently hold a strategic position. Once a large-scale battle erupts, the warriors from Purple Sun Valley may not fare well. Of course, the Hunters would not come out unscathed either, given the advantage of numbers.
Thus, neither side wishes for a true outbreak of an all-out war where no one survives. Warriors value their lives, especially the talented ones who do not want to fall prematurely. Consequently, an unspoken rule gradually formed.
When passing through the only passageway, the fewer warriors from Purple Sun Valley that enter, the fewer Hunters will take action. The most terrifying Hunters will only act if they encounter truly worthy opponents; otherwise, they will refrain from intervening. This maintains a balance between the warriors from Purple Sun Valley and the Hunters.
Even so, there are still few warriors confident enough to pass through this mountain path under the interception of the Hunters, as evidenced by recent bloody encounters.
As a result, many warriors who realize they lack the ability to traverse this mountain path began to struggle internally after Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue set off. Amidst their struggles, some started to move toward the mountain path!
"These people... damn it." Sensing movement behind her, Lian Yiyue's expression suddenly changed as she coldly said, "I'll go deal with them."
Logically speaking, once a group enters this mountain path, no one else should follow because it would provoke many Hunters to act together. However, after Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue entered the mountain path, quite a few people followed them in.
This was not good news for Lian Yiyue and Fang Chen because if that were the case, they would face more than just two Hunters; their numbers would significantly increase due to those entering behind them. Since they were at the forefront of the mountain path, they would be the first to face attacks from numerous Hunters.
Clearly, those following Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue into the mountain path aimed to leverage their strength to attract the attention of many Hunters so that they could slip through unnoticed.
However, these individuals were merely the most reckless group; many others shared this intention but hesitated. After all, such actions would undoubtedly offend others. No one would want an additional group of opportunists trailing behind them at this moment. If they were in that position, they would likely turn around immediately and eliminate these burdens. If Fang Chen acted then, they might not even see a Hunter before meeting their end.
Many warriors who were observing and hesitating awaited Fang Chen's decision! Even those who had recklessly entered the mountain path fixed their gazes on Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue. For them, it was a gamble.
"No need." Just as Lian Yiyue was about to turn around, Fang Chen's calm voice rang in her ears, causing her body to stiffen suddenly.
Then her expression changed as she urgently said, "If we don't stop them now, more people will continue to follow! By then you won't just face a few but possibly over half of the Hunters! With your strength, those top-tier individuals will definitely take action! Do you understand what that means?"
She knew that Fang Chen was strong, having defeated Song Donglai and Li Tian's five-man team. How could he not be strong? However, even so, in Lian Yiyue's view, facing this situation now, taking action to eliminate those behind her who harbored lucky thoughts and wanted to take advantage of the chaos was the best choice. It would even be wise to directly kill a few of them to deter the others.
But Fang Chen actually did not stop them...
Did he intend to face all the Hunters by himself?
The moment this thought arose in Lian Yiyue's mind, she immediately dismissed it. That was simply too crazy; even with her confidence in Fang Chen, she felt that this was utterly impossible.
Just as she was about to persuade Fang Chen again or even turn around to drive away those behind her, a voice that seemed to be speaking to herself echoed in her ears.
"Every time we kill a Hunter, there will be rewards when we enter the Ziyang Sect. The more we kill, the greater the rewards. If they hide and do not come out, wouldn't that be a pity? We haven't killed a single Hunter yet."
"This guy..." Listening to Fang Chen's muttering, Lian Yiyue felt an even deeper shock in her heart. He wasn't stopping those opportunistic martial artists following them because he had this idea in mind.
Crazy! Too crazy!...
Lian Yiyue opened her mouth but for a moment didn't know what to say.
At that moment, a chill ran through Lian Yiyue's heart, and her expression changed slightly as her gaze suddenly turned toward a spot beside the two of them.
"One, two, three..."
A total of seven unfamiliar figures appeared in their line of sight.
Five men and two women, all seven were at the late stage of Body Refinement Realm. They looked young and seemed to be about the same age as many martial artists heading to Ziyang Sect this time. They were not dressed in the dark robes that Fang Chen had imagined; they looked quite similar to these people. However, the aura emanating from these seven was vastly different from that of the Purple Sun Valley martial artists.
"Chilling, Frenzy, Killing Intent." Fang Chen murmured, and a hint of seriousness rose on his calm face.
This seriousness was naturally not directed at the Seven Hunters but rather at the forces behind these Hunters. Fang Chen understood very well that these individuals were true martial artists who had experienced one massacre after another. Only then could they possess such an aura.
As Fang Chen was deep in thought, Lian Yiyue's expression had already changed dramatically.
Just from the first wave of attacks, so many people had appeared!
Her pupils contracted, and the worry on her face intensified. At this moment, it was clear that she could no longer spare the effort to drive away the group behind.
"First, let's deal with this group of people, and then we'll take care of the ones behind..." A cold glint flashed in Lian Yiyue's eyes. As the top young talent of the Charming Immortal Sect, she was certainly not a soft-hearted person; when it came to being ruthless, she would not hold back.
"Tsk tsk, these two are quite strong, but their luck seems to have run out." One of the seven casually glanced at Lian Yiyue and Fang Chen and mocked.
"I didn't expect to find such soft-hearted individuals in a place like this..." another laughed.
"Let's take them out first, and then we'll clean up the group behind." Someone spoke up.
"Are you all done talking?"
However, just then, a cold voice suddenly rang in their ears, and at the same time, a terrifying aura enveloped all seven of them.
