♂?，，

  Lie Teng's heart was heavy with thoughts as he flew through the air, and that made him feel a sense of familiarity towards Xuan Yu Zi's youth, but Lie Teng couldn't think of where he had seen him before. He carefully recalled what had happened after he left Gui Zong, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock.

  "Is it him? In the Land of Hunting Spirits, I saw him in the Land of Hunting Spirits. How is this possible? At that time, he was also at the fourth layer of gathering spirits, and after parting ways this time, he reached the second layer of Condensing Dan? This... The talent of this person is actually so terrifying, and he became the new leader of the Desert City with the second layer of Condensing Dan. It can be seen that his strength is extraordinary, and he must have defeated the previous leader. If I'm not mistaken, the cultivation of the previous leader should be at the third layer of Condensing Dan." Lie Teng was shocked as he thought more about it. He remembered where he had seen Xuanxuzi before. Although his appearance was ordinary, a battle in the Land of Hunting Spirits left a slight impression on Lie Teng. At this time, he didn't expect to see him again in the Beast Arena.

  After learning about the identity of Xuán Yú Zǐ, Liè Téng's heart was somewhat shocked. Since condensing his dan, although Liè Téng didn't show it outwardly, he had some pride in his heart. With his short ten-plus years from gathering spirit to forming a dan, he was considered a genius wherever he went. But at this moment, seeing Xuán Yú Zǐ, Liè Téng suddenly understood that there were heavens beyond the heavens and people beyond people, and this was only what he had seen; he didn't know how many more things he didn't know about.

  "The world of cultivation is full of geniuses, it seems that my vision was too narrow. My master once said that in the central and eastern regions of the cultivation world, there are many large sects where talents emerge in droves and strong cultivators are numerous. I should go to the central region for some training when I have time." Lie Teng thought to himself, his gaze immediately shifting forward as he expanded his divine sense. One year was not a long period of time, and killing over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators within that timeframe was no easy feat. Lie Teng had to conserve his time, or else he would inevitably miss the opportunity to pay respects to his master. At this moment, Lie Teng did not want to lose the powerful backing of Jian Fengzi.

  Lie Teng took out a map of the Beast Arena, which he had bought on the side of the road in the Desert City. With this map, Lie Teng would be able to navigate much more easily. After carefully studying the map, Lie Teng turned around and rapidly headed west.

  Half a year later.

  A practitioner who specialized in sneak attacks and rarely showed his face was gradually being talked about by the practitioners of the Beast Arena. This person was hated by the practitioners of the Desolate City, who were itching to get their teeth into him. Almost every practitioner who went out to hunt down the Desert Camp would be constantly on guard against this person, which made the practitioners of the Desolate City extremely disgusted and fearful. They couldn't wait to tear him apart, limb from limb. According to statistics, in just half a year's time, more than 50 people had already died at his hands. Although this number wasn't large, it was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear. All of these were people who had been successfully ambushed by him! Moreover, this was only the number of known victims - there was no telling how many others there might be. In the end, this person came to be detested by the practitioners of the Desolate City and was given the nickname "Ghost Shadow".

  The original barren city's strength was already weaker than the desert city, and this ghost shadow undoubtedly hit the morale of the barren city. This made the high-level officials of the barren city regard the ghost shadow as a thorn in their eyes, eager to get rid of it quickly. They even organized a special team to hunt down the ghost shadow and search for it in the barren land.

  In the desolate land near the border with the desert, a pair of figures flew swiftly from the desolate land and landed on a small hill that was only a few meters high. The two men's cultivation levels were both at the second layer of the Congealing Dan stage. They looked around cautiously, their eyes gleaming with alertness. The taller cultivator spoke in a cold tone: "We've almost dug three feet into the ground from the Desolate City to the desert and still haven't found that ghostly figure. Could it be that he's already returned to the Desert City? And sending out a small team to hunt him down is probably just spreading rumors, this sneaky ghost must have lost his nerve." His words were filled with intense resentment towards the ghostly figure.

  "Don't let your guard down, this ghostly figure has successfully ambushed so many cultivators, it's clear that its strength is not ordinary." The shorter cultivator said in a low voice.

  "What's the big deal about being strong? It's just a matter of reaching the first level of Dan, how far can one's strength go? Moreover, most of those who were ambushed by him were only at the first level of Dan cultivation. If they encountered us two second-level Dan cultivators, they would have fled in disarray long ago, where would they dare to target us?" The higher-level cultivator said disdainfully.

  The shorter cultivator did not answer, he glanced around and said in a low voice: "Just ahead is the edge of the desert, we'd better leave now. It's been very quiet on the other side of the desert for days, I'm afraid another chaotic battle is brewing! We should focus on our cultivation."

  "Hey, since we're here, why don't we hunt down a Desert Dweller first?" Yin Sen, the more advanced cultivator, said with a smile, his eyes flashing with killing intent. He then flew off slowly towards the front. The shorter cultivator hesitated for a moment before preparing to fly up, but suddenly felt a deadly crisis enveloping him. His heart was shocked and he summoned his spiritual instrument in preparation to defend himself, only to feel an intense pain coming from the soles of his feet. Before he could even cry out, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of small swords.

  "Hiss" was all that could be heard as the shorter cultivator let out a miserable cry, these small swords crazily pierced towards this person, in an instant, what was originally a good person was suddenly turned into a thousand holes and hundred wounds, from start to finish not even having time to let out any miserable cry before falling to the ground. And a black shadow flew out from the earth mound, bringing with it hundreds of black swords piercing crazily towards the taller cultivator.

  He felt a strange noise behind him, and the higher cultivator turned around to check. The dense small swords were imprinted in his pupils, and he was greatly shocked. Without thinking, he took out a defensive shield and threw it out. With the wind, it changed into a size of one zhang, trying to resist the impact of these black small swords. His body not only didn't retreat but also leaned closer to the defensive shield, wanting to rely on the defensive shield to launch a counterattack. However, he overestimated the defensive capabilities of this low-grade treasure shield. He only felt a few loud noises coming from the defensive shield in front of him, and then he saw that his proud defensive shield had cracks all over it. Before he could react, dozens of black swords pierced through his body.

  His eyes widened in shock, staring incredulously at the black-robed youth who appeared after the defensive shield shattered. He exclaimed in terror: "Ghost...gh..." But the last word was forever stuck in his throat.

  "The seventy-second!" The black-robed youth gazed coldly at the young man falling from the sky, muttering faintly, and then glanced around, quickly retrieving the storage rings of the two. The black-robed man was about to hide in the mountain bag again, but when he was about to enter the mountain bag, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward. A thousand meters away, a young man was gazing calmly at the black-robed man.

  The man in black was Lie Teng, also known as "Ghost Shadow" Lie Teng. At this time, his eyes gradually became serious, and he felt the aura emitted by the young man in front of him was extremely powerful.

  "Three layers of Dan!" Lie Teng's heart was determined, he had no intention of escaping, but instead felt a surge of excitement. He had assassinated one person at the Three Layers of Dan level in the past six months, but that battle had left him severely injured, and it wasn't until he had suffered heavy injuries that he managed to kill his opponent. As the number of hunts increased, Lie Teng's skills became more refined, and his strength also improved accordingly.

  "Ghost Shadow? Not bad, to kill two Jiedan second-layer disciples with a single strike of Jiedan first-layer, it shows that you have some strength. Let's fight, I won't say I'm bullying you, I am Meng Lie from the Desolate City! Do you dare to fight me?" The man in white clothes, with an elegant and calm demeanor, stepped forward towards Lie Tong, his body surrounded by boiling air, a fierce heat emanating from within him.

  "What's wrong?" Lie Tong's heart skipped a beat, his eyes becoming even more serious. In the desolate city, Meng Lie's strength was enough to rank among the top three. Lie Tong licked his dry lips, suppressing the seriousness in his heart, and his eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. He didn't have absolute confidence in winning, but he had absolute confidence in leaving safely!! "What are you afraid of?" Lie Tong asked aloud.
