The other contestants who had landed in this secret realm were also dumbfounded. They covered their jade tablets and cowered in the corner, shivering.
"Who is Yan Qing? I've never heard of such a person in the Xuan Sect!"
"I have a bit of an impression. Yan Qing doesn't come from an orthodox sect. He seems to be a miscellaneous cultivator..."
"Are miscellaneous cultivators this powerful? It's so unlucky to be assigned to the same secret realm as him!"
Qi Rongsheng carefully looked around, squinted his eyes, and whispered, "This Yan Qing strikes fast and hard. He seems to be a tough opponent. We should try to avoid direct conflict with him in the early stage."
As for the later stage, it was inevitable for the contestants to meet.
Yu Nian didn't seem to care much. While listening to Qi Rongsheng, her eyes swept over the slightly trembling grass not far away. Suddenly, she said, "Be careful."
The next second, several spiritual lights burst out from the grass, rushing straight towards Yu Nian.
Yu Nian's reaction speed was astonishingly fast. She pulled Qi Rongsheng and Xue Yier aside and nimbly dodged to the side, successfully avoiding the sword light.
The person behind the grass knew the situation was bad and turned around to run. While running, he even gave Yu Nian a provocative smile!
He had deliberately pasted a speed - amulet on his leg so that he could escape after the sneak attack. He didn't believe that Yu Nian could hit him from such a long distance!
When the figure had run more than ten meters away, Yu Nian raised her hand.
She casually tilted her head. As her bright black eyes blinked, her thick eyelashes cast two fan - shaped shadows on her porcelain - like face. Yu Nian hooked her finger slightly, and a sharp sword light containing the power of heaven and earth burst out from her fingertips, shooting straight at the person.
The next second, a scream of "Oh my!" came from afar. The person was actually hit hard on the ground and was in a complete mess.
At the same time, the mechanical female voice of the system reported mercilessly: [Yu Nian has killed Mu San.]
Everyone in the secret realm:???
"What? It's already bad enough that the unlucky Yan Qing is in this secret realm. Why is Yu Nian here too?"
"What's the point of this competition? Let's just quit and go home!"
Mu San ate a mouthful of scorched earth, and his whole face turned as red as pig liver in embarrassment.
He regretted it so much in his heart. He shouldn't have coveted Yu Nian's 10 points. Instead of succeeding in the sneak attack, he was killed by Yu Nian!
The jade slip in Mu San's hand disappeared instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was teleported by the system to the waiting room.
Xue Yier and Qi Rongsheng glanced at each other and tacitly took out a few message - talismans from their bosoms.
According to the previous plan, instead of wandering around the secret realm to find other groups of contestants, it was better to actively lure those who were coveting Yu Nian's points and wait for them like a hunter in ambush.
Sure enough, within a short while, several groups of contestants rushed straight towards them and were then neatly killed by the three of them.
The three of them found a clean piece of ground and sat down. Yu Nian fiddled with her bracelet to check her score.
She had just killed more than twenty people, and her score had reached more than one hundred points.
Qi Rongsheng and Xue Yier had each killed ten people, and their scores were quite impressive. And it had only been ten minutes since the start of the competition.
The three of them smiled and high - fived, but Qi Rongsheng soon looked worried: "Our scores are already so high just by killing these few people, and the system's reports about Yan Qing have never stopped. Yan Qing's score must be incredibly high!"
At the same time, a new announcement appeared on the jade slip. A spiritual plant waiting to be picked had appeared not far from where the three of them were. The contestant who obtained the spiritual plant could get an additional 20 points!
After seeing this news, Xue Yier and Qi Rongsheng were extremely excited. After discussing for a while, they decided to go pick the spiritual plant first, while Yu Nian would stay where she was.
Yu Nian closed her eyes to regulate the abundant spiritual energy in her body. Suddenly, she felt several intense gazes.
When she opened her eyes, she saw three people standing stiffly not far away.
The person in the lead was stunned when he saw Yu Nian alone. When his gaze fell on Yu Nian's jade slip, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"10 points?! Second brother, third brother, look! This person actually has 10 points!"
The two people behind him changed their expressions slightly when they saw Yu Nian: "It's Yu Nian!"
The three brothers had also participated in the Xuan Sect Competition last time, but they were all eliminated in the semi - finals. After returning to their sect, they were severely punished by their master, who scolded them: "The same small and unknown sect, why can Yu Nian make it all the way to the championship?"
Because of this incident, the three of them had always harbored hatred for Yu Nian.
Lu Renyi tightened his grip on his jade slip, looked around, and then ran back to report to his elder brother: "Yu Nian's teammates are not around. There's no one nearby!"
The eldest brother of the Lu family let out a ferocious laugh and gradually approached, surrounding Yu Nian...
The picture suddenly stopped here. The big screen outside the secret realm went black instantly and began to make a "hissing" sound.
Everyone was startled. After the technical department checked, they found that there was nothing wrong with the equipment. The competition site was in a deadlock.
Feng Chengyuan, somewhere in the secret realm, stared at the screen and frowned tightly: "Are the three Lu brothers going to fight one - on - three?"
Zhuge Fangyuan sneered and replied, "Mr. Feng, this is a competition. Isn't it normal to fight one - on - three? If Yu Nian really has the strength, what does she have to be afraid of?"
The look in Feng Chengyuan's eyes as he looked at Zhuge Fangyuan burst out with a terrifying cold light. He said sharply, "Master Zhuge has been a judge for so many years. Can't he tell the difference between a competition and a private duel?" After saying that, Feng Chengyuan ignored the black - faced Zhuge Fangyuan and called Chen Fang on the walkie - talkie: "What's going on inside the secret realm?"
Chen Fang was also a bit confused. He had previously directed movie reality shows and such. This was the first time he had formally come into contact with metaphysics. He was also a bit lost in the face of this sudden situation.
Xu Yufang stared at the screen for a while and suddenly realized that there was a faint flow of black qi around.
"This malfunction is man - made. Someone has used a spell to cut off the connection in the secret realm."
Chen Fang said anxiously, "Can the masters break this secret technique?"
Xu Yufang stepped forward to check and nodded: "It's possible, but it will take a little while."
Inside the secret realm, the eldest brother of the Lu family slammed his big knife heavily beside Yu Nian's feet: "What a small world. It's okay that we lost to that kid Fu Sui, but why did you end up winning the championship?"
Yu Nian raised her eyes and glanced at the three ordinary - looking people in front of her. There was no impression of them in her mind. So she slightly raised her delicate eyebrows, and her almond eyes were full of detachment: "Who are you?"
The smiles on the three people's faces instantly froze, and their facial muscles contorted into a mess.
"Stop wasting time with her. Since we outnumber her, let's teach this arrogant woman a good lesson quickly!"
Yu Nian suddenly stood up and walked towards the three of them. In their vigilant gazes, she showed a bright smile: "The preliminary competition clearly states that contestants can kill each other but cannot engage in private duels. This competition is live - broadcasted throughout. Aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the illusion for violating the rules?"
The three brothers of the Lu family thought that Yu Nian was scared and laughed even more wildly.
"Our sect has a secret technique that can temporarily cut off our connection with the illusion. No matter what happens in the secret realm at the moment, the judges won't be able to see it."
"Oh~ So that's how it is." Yu Nian nodded meaningfully. The smile in her eyes gradually turned cold. Before the people in front of her could react, Yu Nian suddenly leaped into the air, kicked out, and at the same time sent out two spiritual lights.
The three people were heavily kicked to the ground and immediately let out a muffled groan in pain.
Lu Renjia still wanted to struggle to get up, but Yu Nian stepped on his chest.
With a faint smile on her lips, she leisurely asked, "The live - broadcast has been interrupted. Are you still so arrogant?" She paused for a moment, and her tone was unpredictable. "Even if I kill you here, no one will know, right?"
The three people were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat, and their gazes towards Yu Nian became even more panicked: "What... what are you going to do?"
