Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 23 Killing

"Mountains?" Jiang Ye's eyes swept across the extremely dense forests around him. The diameter of each tree here reached a staggering 100 meters. As for the height, it was towering into the clouds, as if it was going to pierce through the sky. There was no end in sight.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye turned his head slightly and looked behind him.

A super strong man wearing black armor, over three meters tall, holding a huge machete, walked up to Jiang Ye with heavy steps.

"Hmph, kid, you're dressed like this, are you here for the audition?" The burly man pointed a machete at Jiang Ye and shouted.

At this moment, Jiang Ye was like a god of battle shining with divine light. (See the comments for the picture!)
His entire body was tightly wrapped in brilliant and gorgeous golden elements. Every piece of armor was shining with dazzling light. The layers of the armor were distinct and extremely rich, with exquisite textures and patterns all over it, showing the texture and power of the machine in every detail.

The dragon horns on its head are tall and majestic, giving off an air of inviolability. The lifelike lion head decorations on its shoulders seem to be roaring to the sky, declaring its unquestionable authority, and its wide-open mouth seems ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.

The five-clawed golden dragon accessory in the middle is a stroke of genius. It is carefully crafted in accordance with the image of an oriental dragon. The dragon's head is majestic and vivid, its whiskers flutter as if dancing in the wind, and its eyes sparkle with sharp light. It is closely integrated with the armor, and is natural and domineering.

"Oh! Thank you for the compliment. I will give you a quick kill later!" Jiang Ye said with a smile. After all, he had been thinking about the appearance of this set of armor for a long time.

"Hmph, you're looking for death!" The sturdy man raised the heavy machete in his hand with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was about to chop Jiang Ye with a thunderous force.

Jiang Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes. In a flash, he turned into a dazzling golden light, and in the blink of an eye, he came behind the sturdy man at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

The sturdy man's machete smashed heavily on the ground with tremendous force. A shocking huge pit suddenly appeared on the hard ground, and mud and stones splashed everywhere.

The burly man looked at the empty ground in front of him, and couldn't help showing a trace of confusion and doubt, muttering: "Where is the person?"

"Bang", at this moment, a slight but very clear muffled sound was heard. A thin blood line appeared quietly on the neck of the strong man at some point, and the blood line was like a strange red line, extending from the front of the neck to the back.

The sturdy man's body seemed to be frozen at this moment, his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief. He tried to touch the blood line, but when he raised his hand halfway, he was no longer able to support it. His whole body fell straight back like a collapsed tower, raising a cloud of dust.

Threads of blood seeped out very slowly from the tiny blood line on the neck, first like extremely thin silk threads, and gradually, these silk-like blood threads began to gather and merge, and then like a winding thin snake, it dyed the ground red little by little at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.

In order to simulate the real killing scene more realistically, there is a special setting in the genius battle preliminaries, that is, all the corpses will not disappear directly on the spot after death as in the decisive battle space.

On the contrary, they will be preserved intact, and as time goes by, these corpses will not only stay where they are, they will even gradually begin to rot, emitting bursts of unbearable stench.

It is conceivable what a horrible scene it will be in the last few days. Billions of corpses are scattered all over the continent. The strong bloody smell formed by these corpses will gradually spread like an invisible net, covering the entire area. And this suffocating bloody smell will undoubtedly have a great impact on the mentality of some contestants who are not strong enough. Let them feel unprecedented pressure and fear in this cruel environment, and struggle in the torment of their hearts. So this is also a test. After all, the strong are all killed in the sea of blood, even geniuses are no exception.

"Points." Jiang Ye lowered his head slightly and looked at the screen on his wrist, only to see that the original text on the screen had changed.

Participants: Jiang Ye (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 1
Ranking: 55866666
"Fifty million?" Jiang Ye murmured softly. However, he really didn't care much about the current ranking.

After all, the entire preliminaries will last for a whole month. At the beginning, because there are so many participants, the fighting will become very fierce and tragic, but because of the small number of points in the early stage, the points gap between the top few will not widen.

On the contrary, in the later stages, there will be fewer people, and those who can survive to the end will probably have very high points. At that time, the points gained by killing one person will probably be much more effective than killing a hundred people now.

However, Jiang Ye did not intend to wait until later before taking action like Luo Feng did.

He has his own plans and ideas. He wants to show his true strength in this qualifying match and attract the attention of several big guys. It would be best if they would reward him with a few books on space secrets such as the Ten Thousand Lines Flow.

"Then start killing!" Jiang Ye shouted in a low voice.

As he spoke, his whole body suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light, which was so bright that it seemed to dispel the darkness around him. Then, his figure flashed and instantly rose high into the sky. He quietly felt the dozens of energy fluctuations around him, large or small, and then his powerful mental power quickly spread out in all directions like a tide.

"Ok?"

"who is it?"

Before long, all the players who were fighting fiercely or flying within a few kilometers turned their eyes to the shining figure in the sky. Because in this universe, wantonly spreading mental power to investigate others is undoubtedly a provocative act.

In an open space, two men who were fighting fiercely stopped their actions and looked up at the sky together.

One of them, holding a spear, said coldly to the man opposite who was stepping on a telekinetic weapon: "Hmph, kid, just wait. I'll kill him first and then deal with you." After saying that, the burly man with the spear flashed and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only a blurry light and shadow.
