Chapter 508: This Person Is Exceptionally Capable

Outside the Hunting Ground, a sword light descended, revealing two figures: Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.

They had traveled tirelessly, without delay, finally reaching the location within two days.

They didn't rush in immediately because both were significantly depleted. Although they had never experienced a Hunting Ground, they had heard much about such widely known, sudden events. They knew that at this time, many people would be ambushed along the Hunting Ground's edge, attacking those entering from outside to gain hunting points.

Finding a hidden spot, both sat down to recover.

It took a full three hours before they stood up, exchanged a glance, and confirmed everything was ready.

Several fierce sword lights emerged, circling around them, numbering over fifty.

"Are you ready?" Li Baxian asked.

Feng Yuechan nodded.

"Let's go!"

As Li Baxian's words fell, the numerous sword lights converged, transforming into a swirling sword-dragon. The sword-dragon enveloped their figures and crashed into the crimson light barrier.

Sword hummed, and the sword-dragon soared.

The next moment, the cultivators who had concealed their presence and ambushed at the edge of the Hunting Ground saw a sword-dragon charging toward them. Its bright sword light dimmed the heavens and earth, and its terrifying sword intent filled hearts with dread.

The sword-dragon swept through the air, heading straight into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

During this time, not a single cultivator ambushing at the edge moved to intercept it.

The newcomer was a sword cultivator, and the ribbon-like sword light alone indicated they were not someone to be trifled with.

Who would dare to intercept them? What if they provoked an formidable opponent?

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

A few stronger individuals quickly realized that the incoming sword cultivator's cultivation wasn't very high, but by then, it was too late to intercept. The sword light had already traveled several miles, swift as lightning.

A moment later, in the wilderness, the sword-dragon dispersed, and the sword light receded.

Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan landed successively.

They quickly scanned their surroundings, relaxed only after confirming no one was nearby.

"I wonder how Junior Brother is doing," Li Baxian said, his face filled with worry. As he spoke, he tapped the battlefield imprint on the back of his hand, starting to contact Lu Ye.

He hadn't contacted Lu Ye earlier to avoid making him worry. Now that they were inside, the natural course of action was to meet up with Lu Ye first.

Although his and Feng Yuechan's cultivations weren't exceptionally high, their combined strength was much better than Lu Ye's alone, enough to barely protect him.

While he was making the connection, Feng Yuechan, feeling a bit bored, looked around. This was her first time in the Hunting Ground, and she was curious about it. She had only heard before that there were many opportunities within the Hunting Ground, but unfortunately, she had never had the chance to see them. Now, she finally had the opportunity.

Soon, the crimson banner-like Hunting Leaderboard in the sky caught her attention.

Her gaze swept across it, and Feng Yuechan's beautiful eyes widened significantly. She stared at the top of the Hunting Leaderboard in astonishment, almost doubting her own eyes. But upon closer inspection, it was indeed correct.

The name at the top of the ranking was unmistakably "Lu Yiye," followed by a staggering 1,550 hunting points.

The second-ranked person, Xia Liang, had barely broken a thousand!

"Senior Brother..." Feng Yuechan reached out and tugged at Li Baxian's clothes.

"Hmm?" Li Baxian was currently connecting with Lu Ye, asking for his location. Noticing the movement, he turned to look at Feng Yuechan.

"Look at that," Feng Yuechan said, pointing up at the sky.

Li Baxian followed her finger.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed. "First place?"

His first reaction was disbelief that his Junior Brother could be so formidable. The entire Hunting Ground spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, teeming with powerful cultivators. His Junior Brother had only entered the Cloud River Battlefield two months ago; how could he possibly hold the first position, and by such a large margin over the second-place holder?

Over 1,500 hunting points—how many people would he have to kill to get that many?

Could it be that someone had the same name as his Junior Brother?

But "Lu Yiye" was not a very common name, and even if there were truly someone with the same name, it was unlikely they would happen to be in the Hunting Ground. There were no such coincidences in the world.

Could it really be Junior Brother?

Li Baxian felt a bit dizzy. He had initially thought that Lu Ye would be in constant danger, walking on thin ice in this Hunting Ground. But if that truly was his Junior Brother, then he had been completely mistaken.

To obtain so many hunting points undoubtedly meant that his Junior Brother was slaughtering everyone in the Hunting Ground, invincible!

However, he couldn't be certain, so he had to ask.

"Junior Brother, is the Lu Yiye at the top of the Hunting Leaderboard you?"

On the teleportation array, Lu Ye, sitting cross-legged, was bewildered by the question and immediately denied it: "No, how could it be me?"

The best he had ranked before was only in the teens. Although he had killed a sixth-stage spell cultivator after that, so much time had passed that his name should have dropped off the Hunting Leaderboard by now.

Since entering the Hunting Ground, he had only killed three people in total, earning 550 hunting points. This number could by no means put him in first place.
