Exploding God

Chapter 1130 Extremely Excited, the Third Hunter!

Guangxi Ancient Land, Valley.

The martial artists in the expedition who had signed up for the temporary bounty did not act immediately. Instead, they all waited tacitly until the hunters had completely disappeared from sight before they began to take action.

Despite the glorious and towering presence of the fourth hero, the stereotype of the Ranger is still difficult to shake off.

I will not slander you, but I will not follow you either.

This is what the vast majority of people think.

Yan Wenchang, who witnessed this scene, remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, he felt even more disgusted with the three of them, and became more determined to find an opportunity to kill them.

……

"Those sheep didn't even realize they were about to die; they were still waiting for us to leave." The second brother toyed with a snake-shaped dagger with deep blood grooves, his terrifyingly scarred face full of mockery. "They really didn't even know they were being sold out."

"Make way, you to the left, I to the right, half each, remember to be natural." A ruthless glint flashed in Wuliangha's single eye.

The terrain outside the valley is complex, with dense forests and huge rocks dividing it into more than a dozen roads of varying sizes, but the overall direction is still divided into left, center and right.

To the left is a forest path, winding and secluded.

The middle section is mostly a main road, but the terrain on both sides is treacherous.

The right side is mostly rugged mountain road, winding and twisting, with piles of huge rocks.

He deliberately took the main road, but after leaving, he immediately arranged ambushes on both sides to mislead the scouts.

If the martial artists who accepted the bounty were bold enough to follow directly, they might still have a chance of survival, provided they didn't catch up with the third brother.

If you choose to go left or right to avoid them, you'll be heading into a dead end.

"Don't worry, big brother." Scarface retracted his hand, and the dagger disappeared from his palm.

Wuliangha nodded, then frowned and added a reminder, "Also, be careful."

"Yan Wenchang?"

"Business that's so risky can't be trusted by anyone but ourselves. Yan Wenchang is a cunning fellow; once we've done this job, we'll leave immediately. It's best if we keep to ourselves, and if anything unexpected happens, we'll send out a warning shot."

"Understood." Upon hearing this, the second brother also dropped the disdain on his face.

He understood the principle of "when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away."

Currently, they are in a cooperative relationship with the Yan family. Once the Yan family has cleared out all the independent martial artists, there will only be two forces left in the ancient land. That will be the best time for Yan Wenchang to make his move.

The second oldest in the team was the most composed, so Wuliangha was relatively at ease with him. Looking at the third oldest, he said, "Manduhatu, you have the best nose. Head forward along the central route and leave a mark. Chasing women is fine, but you absolutely cannot let women interfere with your duties!"

The third brother grinned, "The eldest brother is still the most considerate."

"Meet at Lao San's place before noon tomorrow. That's all!"

Uriyangkhad and his second brother, one on the left and one on the right, simultaneously stepped into the air and left.

The third brother stood alone at the crossroads, closed his eyes and sniffed for more than ten seconds, then opened his eyes, his pupils filled with excitement and greed.

"Little wench, I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

With a strange laugh, the third brother strode forward, creating ripples with each step before disappearing like a gust of wind at the end of the road.

More than ten minutes later, people began to arrive one after another.

After leaving the main force, the martial artists formed small teams and were wary of each other when they saw one another.

However, everyone's attention quickly fell on the main road ahead.

Many martial artists' eyes lit up when they saw the traces of sand and gravel blown away by the strong wind.

"Gentlemen, we're all out here seeking wealth, so how about we all keep to ourselves?" A long-bearded martial artist clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"That's absolutely right. In that case, let's each go our own way." Another young martial artist said meaningfully.

This remark immediately drew laughter, and the previously tense atmosphere eased.

"Haha, there are many roads to choose from, let's each go our own way."

Dozens of martial artists clasped their fists together and walked to either side without saying a word.

……

Zhang Xinghuo looked up.

The sky remained shrouded in a gloomy, dark color, but after traversing the swamp, the scenery changed repeatedly, with various terrains and landforms appearing one after another under different weather conditions.

Right now, their path is blocked by a river about thirty meters wide. The river is full of aquatic plants, and shadows seem to gather and disperse from time to time.

It's hard to believe that such a large river could exist in this ancient land with its narrow and rugged terrain.

The river, under the influence of an unknown force of gravity, pounded against the smooth boulders and crashed against the riverbank, creating a scene of quiet desolation and bleakness.

While instinctively feeling a sense of crisis, Zhang Xinghuo also experienced a sense of ethereal tranquility, lost in thought.

This environment inexplicably triggered her sudden enlightenment about martial arts.

Lu Ze glanced around with his hands behind his back, then chose a dry rock by the river. "Let's rest here."

"Master, I'm not tired yet."

The girl weakly admitted that she had only walked for a little over two hours and hadn't even broken a sweat.

"This is a rare opportunity. After you have grasped its meaning, it is your turn to fight."

Lu Ze lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed on a branch of a dawn redwood tree that was growing at an angle. He then put his hands behind his back and looked out into the distance.

Upon hearing that she would be asked to engage in actual combat, Zhang Xinghuo immediately tensed up during the internal training, and her fighting spirit was immediately aroused. She was already feeling the impact of the Ten Absolute Martial Arts, and she wanted to try it out in actual combat after she had finished comprehending it.

With a mentor to guide you, this is an excellent opportunity for improvement!

So the girl no longer hesitated and sat cross-legged, her hands forming a mudra in front of her.

In an instant, Zhang Xinghuo became as calm as still water. Within a few seconds, his breathing blended into nature and became barely audible.

One can enter a state of complete absorption in the external world anytime, anywhere; this is the highly revered state of unity between heaven and man in spiritual practice.

Those who can enter this state are all exceptionally talented individuals.

Lu Ze could tell from just a few of Zhang Xinghuo's breaths that the girl was about to break through to the 9th star.

Such martial arts talent is something even I am ashamed of.

Once the barrier between the Fog Plains and Earth is broken down, Zhang Xinghuo can be used as a role model to spur on lazy guys like Liang Bo and Tian He to improve.

wrong……

Those guys might just give up.

The thought immediately gave me a headache.

Forget it, I'll just hand it over to Wei to hone her martial intent.

……

Lu Ze thought about it with great interest.

There is plenty of time now, and through the Star Source Vision, one can see increasingly dense black vortexes emerging on the opposite bank of the river.

In his previous life, this was a sign that he was getting closer to the tower, enough to prove that he was heading in the right direction.

Once the secrets of the Mist Plains are revealed, this interdimensional journey can end sooner.

……

Zhang Xinghuo never imagined that her master was actually admiring the scenery; she thought Lu Ze was cultivating using some kind of advanced Qi-gathering technique.

She is now completely immersed in the world of spiritual practice.

Compared to the crude martial arts techniques she learned at a third-rate martial arts school, the Ten Absolute Martial Arts are as exquisite and vast as a great river compared to a stream.

Practicing these martial arts techniques now is equivalent to directly integrating one's own martial arts from the root.

Beneath her calm exterior surges a stellar energy, like magma flowing within a volcano. The moment it is fully integrated will be the moment of her martial arts sublimation.

The state of enlightenment lasted for a full hour!

During this time, Zhang Xinghuo's aura was sometimes weak and sometimes violent, and the dampness within three meters of him was completely dried.

When she opened her eyes, she could feel the Star Source Power surging rapidly within her body, but the cutting and stinging sensation was completely gone.

The Ten Absolute Martial Arts provides a more than tenfold complex operating path, much like activating the originally dormant capillaries in a person's body.

The Star Source Power that was originally harmful to her body has now transformed into abundant Qi and Blood, making her feel full of energy.

"I……"

She got up to walk towards Lu Ze, but froze after uttering just one word.

A mysterious and profound feeling flashed through my mind.

The girl lowered her head, looking at her feet...

A gently dissipating airflow.

With a mix of confusion and anticipation, she gently landed on her toes.

The air blast spread out—

She felt as if she were stepping on solid air, standing in astonishment half a meter off the ground.

"It can fly? Wow!"

After saying that, he fell to the side, but his body spun around with incredible flexibility. He clapped his hands lightly and landed with a clean somersault.

The girl's eyes were filled with excitement, so much so that she could only repeat two words every five seconds.

"Master, Master, Master—"

"I see." Lu Ze turned slightly, his face full of smiles. "We can walk on air now."

"Yes, I can fly now!"

Zhang Xinghuo clenched his fists, his excitement and joy evident in his expression.

This was something she would never have dared to imagine before. The pain of her meridians being torn apart was excruciating. She had a premonition that 8 stars was the limit of her martial arts.

But now, in just half a day of becoming an apprentice, he has directly broken through to the 9-star Gale level, which is completely unimaginable.

She immediately prepared to run directly to her master's side by stepping on thin air.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly streaked across the sky, approaching from afar with a thunderous roar and unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha, you pretty little vixen, you really can fly, running so fast."

"I've been looking for this for ages!"

The wind suddenly stopped, and the filthy hunter's attire and the iconic shaved head appeared in front of Zhang Xinghuo, causing the latter to freeze in place.

The third brother stood on a boulder, staring with satisfaction at the girl's trembling body, a sinister smile on his face.

"With the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, I'll play with you by the river today."

How could he not be excited!

Some seek martial prowess, some seek wealth, and some seek fame.

And he, Manduhat, loves this color!

For him, finding this pretty young woman was far more exciting than killing those useless martial artists.

He especially liked women who looked at him with fear and trembling.

A feeling of excitement and savagery rose within me.

The third brother greedily licked his lips, and then... he saw Lu Ze standing expressionlessly on the tree.

His excitement intensified.

"Little wench, I'm going to make sure your lover watches you right here... Hahaha!"

The deafening laughter even drowned out the sound of the river water crashing against the boulders.

……

Zhang Xinghuo's body trembled even more violently, and she looked up and stared straight at Lu Ze.

"Consider this your first battle," Lu Ze replied calmly.

The girl slammed her small fist into her palm.

Then, to the astonishment of the third brother, he suddenly turned around and looked at him excitedly.

"The one who will kill you today is Zhang Xinghuo!"

The moment the fair, tender fist clenched.

The third brother vaguely saw a colossal prehistoric beast stand up before him.
