Chapter 1933 - Nobody or Hero?
Translator: Legge
Ten Absolute Hell.
Su Zimo's gaze was cold and his expression was dark.
It had been almost a day since he entered this place. Although he had long left the battlefield and deliberately avoided many cultivators, his path forward was still treacherous and filled with killing intent!
If he had not sensed danger beforehand with his spirit perception, he would have fallen into extremely perilous situations as well.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how a seemingly flat and ordinary meadow suddenly turned into a swamp where a gigantic crocodile charged out and devoured dozens of cultivators.
He had also witnessed a few cultivators hiding on an ancient tree, waiting for an opportunity to strike. To think that they would encounter a nest of Black Wasps.
Thousands of Black Wasps were alarmed and swept past the few cultivators densely.
In the blink of an eye, the few of them died in an extremely tragic manner, riddled with holes by the poison needles of the Black Wasps.
Be it the Swamp Crocodile or the Black Wasps, they were all Earth Demons and were an entire major cultivation realm above the Black Immortals of the Ten Absolute Hell!
A single Black Wasp was enough to kill its way through many Black Immortals.
Who could defend against thousands of Black Wasps?!
If Su Zimo was careless and fell into the swarm of Black Wasps, it would be difficult for him to leave alive.
Danger lurked everywhere in the Ten Absolute Hell!
What made Su Zimo feel even more uncomfortable was that he was being watched at all times.
Although he could not see the situation outside through the gigantic eye in the firmaments, he could sense that some people were staring at him!
Suddenly!
Su Zimo frowned slightly, as though he sensed something.
Once again, he felt as though he was being spied on. It was faint and slightly different from the spying feeling in the firmaments.
If not for his sharp spirit perception, it would have been difficult for him to detect the difference!
Su Zimo did not think too much about it and continued to release his movement technique, circling around the forest without stopping.
An hour later, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks once more.
The feeling of being spied on did not disappear!
He was targeted!
Instinctively, the image of an expressionless woman in purple appeared in Su Zimo's mind.
Tang Ziyi.
Earlier on, he released Heavenly Feet, Boundless Golden Light and other divine powers and secret skills. Using the environment, he changed directions continuously and almost no one of the same cultivation realm could catch up to him.
However, he could not shake off the tail behind him for an hour!
He reckoned that only someone who was extremely good at assassination could hide her aura almost perfectly and follow him like a leech!
Su Zimo sneered internally.
To think that the female assassin would choose to attack him!
Su Zimo continued forward expressionlessly.
…
City Lord's residence, main hall.
Prince Yuan Zuo stared at Su Zimo in the Mirage Mirror for an entire day, but he still knew nothing about this person and could not see his strength.
That was because right from the beginning, this person had not fought with anyone.
There was a hint of impatience in the eyes of Prince Yuan Zuo and his initial interest in Su Zimo gradually faded as well.
"He won't be of much use if he doesn't possess any powerful methods and can only dodge continuously,"
Prince Yuan Zuo yawned and pouted in disappointment. "This person is way too boring."
"That's right,"
Liu Yu smiled. "Your Highness, after a day of killing, the lowlifes who are truly capable have long stood out from the masses. Why waste your time on some nobody?"
"Your Highness, please take a look. As I expected, Li Tian is indeed the number one of the Hunting Ranking!"
"The game isn't over yet. It's still too early for the rankings to be decided," The City Lord of Absolute Thunder City at the side said.
Prince Yuan Zuo retracted his gaze from Su Zimo. Just as he was about to shift his attention, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue at the side exclaimed softly, "Mmm? That lad has been targeted!"
"What?"
Prince Yuan Zuo asked.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue pointed to the Mirage Mirror and said, "Your Highness, please take a closer look. There's actually a figure hidden beside that ancient tree."
Prince Yuan Zuo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Indeed.
In the void beside the ancient tree, there was a faint distortion and it could vaguely be recognized as a figure.
However, one would not be able to notice it unless they focused their attention!
"It's the Lesser Invisibility technique,"
Prince Yuan Zuo nodded slightly and said.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue smiled. "If I'm not wrong, that should be the woman who passed the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Tang Ziyi."
"Oh?"
The eyes of Prince Yuan Zuo lit up.
That was because he had just discovered something—Tang Ziyi had already targeted Su Zimo!
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue smiled gently. "We'll know soon whether Su Zimo is a nobody or a hero."
Prince Yuan Zuo was invigorated and his attention landed on Su Zimo once more.
At the side, Liu Yu shook his head. "Even as bystanders, it's difficult for us to detect Tang Ziyi's presence. That lad is most likely going to die before he knows it."
Prince Yuan Zuo and Perfected Immortal Jing Yue glared at Su Zimo for another two hours.
This time round, even Perfected Immortal Jing Yue could not hold on any longer and clenched his fists slightly.
Su Zimo had been scurrying around the Ten Absolute Hell at an extremely fast speed aimlessly.
With Tang Ziyi following behind, there was no chance for her to attack even if she wanted to.
Under such high speed pursuit, her Essence Spirit, blood qi and stamina were greatly depleted. It was already her limit to be able to maintain the Lesser Invisibility technique, let alone attack Su Zimo.
Nothing about Su Zimo seemed to have changed in the past two hours, as though he did not notice anything.
However, Tang Ziyi had expended a lot of energy.
There were even a few times when she could barely sustain the Lesser Invisibility technique and was almost exposed!
With a frustrated expression, Prince Yuan Zuo gulped down a large cup of spirit tea. "What is that person trying to do running around inside? I really want to go in and slap him to death!"
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue took a deep breath and composed himself. "Your Highness, please calm down and wait a little longer."
Right then, Su Zimo's speed finally slowed down.
Before long, he stopped in front of a cave filled with fresh blood and corpses.
A Grade 9 Earth Demon, the Flying Tiger Lion, resided in the cave!
About four hours ago, hundreds of cultivators passed by this place and alarmed this beast.
The Flying Tiger Lion came out of seclusion and went on a massacre. Hundreds of cultivators died here and the cave became empty after the beast left.
Through the Mirage Mirror, Su Zimo could be seen lingering at the entrance of the cave for a while, as though he was probing carefully.
Before long, Su Zimo entered the cave and disappeared from the Mirage Mirror.
"Erm…"
Prince Yuan Zuo and Perfected Immortal Jing Yue were stunned for a moment and exchanged glances.
Through the gigantic Mirage Eye in the firmaments, the Mirage Mirror could reflect everything in the Ten Absolute Hell.
However, in a cave like this, some secluded places or blind spots could not be exposed completely.
Since the Mirage Eye could not see it, it naturally could not appear on the Mirage Mirror.
In other words, Su Zimo was temporarily free from the surveillance of the many Exalted Immortals in the City Lord's residence!
Prince Yuan Zuo was looking forward to the battle between Tang Ziyi and Su Zimo.
To think that Su Zimo would enter the cave and they would not be able to see anything.
"I…"
Prince Yuan Zuo opened his mouth and almost fainted from the pent up anger in his chest.
