Chapter 1943 - Honest Man
Chapter 1943: Honest Man
Translator: Legge
Ying Fei led everyone into the cave and stopped after a few steps.
“Boss Ying, what’s wrong?”
A Black Immortal asked.
“Someone’s here,”
Ying Fei’s eyes shone brightly as he glared at the darkness ahead and said slowly.
!!The hearts of many cultivators skipped a beat and they turned nervous with wary expressions.
Right then, a figure slowly appeared from the depths of the darkness ahead. Walking over slowly, it gradually became clearer under everyone’s gazes.
It was a man with delicate features. His green robes were upright and he looked slightly weak. If he was holding a scroll in his hands, he would look no different from a frail scholar.
The green-robed cultivator was clean from head to toe and seemed out of place in the cruel and bloody environment of the Ten Absolute Hell.
Many cultivators had been through many bloody battles and were filled with killing intent. All of them looked ferocious and the green-robed man truly looked harmless compared to them.
Everyone’s tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Ying Fei was not careless.
He knew very well that anyone who could enter the Ten Absolute Hell was not someone easy to deal with. Naturally, he would not be easily bewitched by the appearance of this green-robed cultivator.
“You’re alone?”
Ying Fei raised his brow slightly and asked.
“Yes,”
The green-robed cultivator nodded.
Many cultivators heaved a sigh of relief. Some of the Black Immortals had ferocious gazes and could not wait to attack.
However, Ying Fei did not let down his guard.
After all, Tang Ziyi was also alone earlier on but she killed more than ten of them and left!
Furthermore, Ying Fei thought of something deeper.
Tang Ziyi had just left the cave and the green-robed cultivator was here as well—how was he not dead?
“How should I address you?”
Ying Fei asked.
“I’m Su Zimo,” The green-robed cultivator replied.
“What are you doing in this cave?”
Ying Fei continued asking with a bright gaze.
Su Zimo said, “There’s killing intent everywhere outside. I found this place by accident and hid here. Since you guys are here, I’ll leave now and let you guys have this cave.”
Actually, Su Zimo could vaguely guess Tang Ziyi’s intentions.
However, he did not want to fight these people and comply with the wishes of the City Lords and Exalted Immortals outside.
With that said, Su Zimo headed out of the cave.
This was indeed beyond Ying Fei’s expectations.
The cultivator before him looked extremely cowardly and posed no threat at all.
Was he thinking too much?
Some of the Black Immortals at the side could not help but look at Ying Fei repeatedly with questioning expressions.
As long as Ying Fei nodded, they would attack!
Just as Su Zimo was about to brush past the many Black Immortals, Ying Fei suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
A few Black Immortals moved and blocked in front of Su Zimo with unfriendly expressions and ferocious gazes.
Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and turned around. He looked at Ying Fei and asked with a fake smile, “Fellow Daoist, is there anything else?”
“Take out your Hunting Badge and let me take a look,”
Ying Fei said indifferently.
Under normal circumstances, the Hunting Badge was extremely important in the Ten Absolute Hell. It was related to the final ranking of the Hunting Ranking and could not be shown to outsiders casually.
However, Su Zimo did not care about the Hunting Ranking or Hunting Badge.
Hesitating for a moment, he took out the Hunting Badge from his storage bag.
Ying Fei could clearly see that the name written on the Hunting Badge was indeed Su Zimo.
In other words, this person was not lying.
However, the other side of the Hunting Badge was blank!
In the Ten Absolute Hell, the number on the other side of the Hunting Badge would correspond to the number of cultivators one killed.
For example, Ying Fei’s Hunting Badge displayed the number ‘273’.
This proved that he had already killed 273 people personally!
However, the fact that the Hunting Badge was blank meant that this person had not killed anyone since he entered the Ten Absolute Hell!
From what that person said earlier on, it could be concluded that he was a cowardly and honest person.
It was only then that Ying Fei was completely relieved. He glared at Su Zimo with evil intentions and asked with a smile, “Why are you here at the Hunting Meet if you’re so timid?”
Su Zimo smiled as well. “I was forcefully brought here.”
“Hahahaha!”
Ying Fei could not help but burst into laughter.
The surrounding Black Immortals burst into laughter as well.
A cold glint flashed through Ying Fei’s eyes as he nodded slightly.
A Black Immortal with a pockmarked face standing behind Su Zimo understood and suddenly attacked with a murderous expression. He raised his saber and slashed towards Su Zimo’s neck!
The attack of the pockmarked Black Immortal was in Su Zimo’s blind spot without any warning.
That slash was almost certain.
Everyone could almost see the bloody scene of the green-robed man’s decapitated corpse.
Swoosh!
The saber tore through the air at an extremely fast speed.
However, the slash missed!
The pockmarked Black Immortal exerted all his strength and missed. He did not have time to retract his strength and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
“Mmm?”
Ying Fei frowned.
Everyone was surprised as well.
The green-robed man was not dead. In fact, no one noticed how the green-robed cultivator dodged that fatal slash!
Someone burst into laughter. “Pocky Xu, you’re so useless even when you’re given a chance. Let me do it instead!”
In the darkness, Su Zimo no longer had a smile on his face and his expression darkened completely.
Indeed, he was unwilling to fight against the Black Immortals in the Ten Absolute Hell.
That was because in his opinion, these Black Immortals were pitiful people who were controlled and manipulated by others—many of them had no choice.
However, that did not mean that he would continue to endure.
“Why? You’re not letting me leave?”
Su Zimo looked at Ying Fei who was not far away and asked slowly.
Ying Fei smiled. “Given your character, even if you leave this place, you won’t be able to survive for more than half a day. Why don’t you stay here and become a number on our Hunting Badge?”
“Alright, I won’t leave then,”
Su Zimo suddenly said.
“The wise recognize their circumstances,”
Ying Fei clapped and smiled.
Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “Now, I’ll give you guys a chance. Get lost from here.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
Ying Fei had a strange expression and could not believe what he heard.
The pockmarked Black Immortal was already furious after his failure earlier on. Now, he could no longer hold it in and cursed, “Bloody hell, you merely survived because you hid in this cave cowardly the entire time. Do you really think you’re strong?”
Before his sentence was finished, the pockmarked Black Immortal attacked once more.
“Die!”
The pockmarked Black Immortal was enraged and channeled his Essence Spirit. He conjured a lesser divine power with one hand and raised his saber with the other, slashing down at Su Zimo’s head!
The moment his lesser divine power was formed, he felt a green shadow flash before him.
A slender finger approached in his line of sight but he could not dodge at all!
“So fast!”
A final thought flashed through the mind of the pockmarked Black Immortal.
Poof!
The next moment, he felt a sharp pain on his glabella and his Essence Spirit dissipated, losing consciousness.
The pockmarked Black Immortal fell to the ground and a hole appeared on his glabella with fresh blood oozing. His Essence Spirit was destroyed and he was dead!
Everyone was in an uproar!
