Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 425

Chapter 425 The Ghost Never Dissipates
Ye Feng didn’t know who was living in the other four rooms. It seemed that he hadn’t appeared in this day. There was only Ye Feng on the entire observation deck.

On the first floor, there was a corner near the corner. This room was basically uninhabited, but at this moment, there were ten men living in it. They were all crowded together.

“Fortunately, we caught up. I feel like the Ghost Eye will soon lose contact with me. This brat is on this ship. Let’s find him!”

So it was Hei Luo and the others, following the aura left behind by the Ghost Eye, they finally caught up to Ye Feng’s footsteps.

Of the thirteen Ghost Guards, only Nine Guards remained. The other four had been destroyed by Ye Feng. Nine of them remained silent. Twenty Ghost Guards had grown up together, and their hearts were connected. Now that four of them were missing, each of them emitted a dense killing aura.

“In one more day, I’ll be able to completely refine this damned Ghost Eye!”

Ye Feng did not stay. After taking a deep breath, he returned to his room and continued to refine the Ghost Eye.

Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, it had already been five days since Ye Feng boarded the ship. These five days were extremely calm. There was not a single ripple on the Black Sea, as if it was a dead sea.

“Dong dong dong!”

Suddenly, an intense sound of a gong was heard from the first floor, and many people were awakened.

“It’s starting. It’s starting. Who wants to participate? Come quickly!”

The voice spread to every corner of the ship, from the first floor to the second floor, to the third floor, and finally to Ye Feng’s ears.

Time paused!

Countless divine senses intertwined, wanting to know what had happened and why it was so noisy.

Ye Feng’s divine sense penetrated through the second and third floors. He arrived at the middle area of the first floor and discovered that there was already a huge arena. There was actually someone fighting in the arena.

“Right now, Shi Kui has won three consecutive victories. If you want to challenge him, head to the left. If you want to place a bet, head to the right. Let me repeat the rules. Challengers are not allowed to exceed the two small realms of the challenged. This is the rule!”

Holding a bronze gong, a skinny man kept shouting. The ship was extremely boring. It was rare for such a good thing to happen. Many people gathered around it to relieve the dull atmosphere that had been brought about for several days.

Ye Feng withdrew his divine sense and didn’t have much interest, but he was quickly attracted again.

“The winner of the challenge will obtain 50,000 Yuan Spirit Pills. The loser will have to pay 10,000 Yuan Spirit Pills. Do you dare to challenge him?”

The skinny man announced loudly. Just now, many people were watching the fun in their hearts. When they heard that there were still benefits to take, they all stopped in their tracks.

If the challenge fails, you only need to pay ten thousand spirit pills. If you succeed in the challenge, you will receive fifty thousand spirit pills. If you win in succession, you will receive twenty thousand spirit pills for each win. The reward is very generous.

Quite a few people had spent almost all of their resources on this trip to the Southern Divine Continent. They could display their skills and perhaps earn back the cost of the boat ride. Therefore, there were already people who were rubbing their fists.

The corner of Ye Feng’s mouth curved into an arc. With so many people challenging me, if I could win ten consecutive times, wouldn’t I be able to earn back all the expenses for the boat ride?

Originally, he did not intend to participate. Since there were benefits to be gained, Ye Feng planned to give it a try. Anyway, it was fine if he was idle. His realm was completely stable, and his Ghost Eye was also completely refined. Ye Feng did not have anything else to do for the time being.

Just as Ye Feng was about to leave the fourth floor, the other four rooms opened at the same time. Several people walked out from the rooms. They looked young, only one person was around forty.

The other three were in their twenties, two men and one woman. They didn’t know each other. They looked at Ye Feng and walked towards the first floor.

Ye Feng briefly analyzed the four of them. Apart from the forty or so men, the other four were all at the early Immortal Martial Stage.

Immortal Martial Realm cultivators in their twenties were rare in the Southern Divine Continent. Now, he had seen four of them in a flash.

Seeing the four of them disappear, Ye Feng followed closely behind and walked towards the first floor.

The space on the first floor was the largest, but there were also the most people. At this moment, there were thousands of people gathered around the edge of the huge arena.

There were people on the stage challenging Shi Kui, intending to earn 50,000 spirit pills.

Unfortunately, the challenger failed and was one realm higher than Shi Kui, but he was sent flying by Shi Kui’s punch.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively. A large number of people began to bet. Now, Shi Kui’s odds had already reached 10 to 30. More than 90% of them were betting on Shi Kui winning.

Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry either. He planned to take a look first. This Shi Kui didn’t look simple. After winning four or five consecutive matches, Shi Kui had already earned more than 100,000 Yuan Spirit Pills.

The others had long been jealous. Every time the owner of this ship would have a duel like this. The first was to relieve the dull atmosphere, and the second was to make a fortune.

“Let me do it!”

A burly man stood up and threw out 10,000 spirit pills. This was the cost of the challenge. If he won, he could win 50,000 spirit pills. If he lost, then the 10,000 spirit pills would be gone.

It was very fair and reasonable. No one would argue with it. They even hoped that this kind of arena competition would continue. The first was very exciting, and the second was to earn Origin Spirit Pills.

However, most of them failed. The man who had just gone up was very unfortunate. He was sent flying by Shi Kui’s punch, and the corner of his mouth was tilted.

This scene caused many people who wanted to earn benefits to restrain themselves a lot. Carefully observing Shi Kui’s strength, they discovered that he was like a mountain, standing on the same spot, unbreakable.

Although defeating Shi Kui and obtaining 50,000 Yuan Spirit Pills, he had to first consider whether he had a chance of winning. If he couldn’t, it would be a disgrace to go up and waste 10,000 Yuan Spirit Pills for nothing.

Two hours had passed, and Shi Kui had already won ten consecutive victories. The number of people who went up to challenge him was getting fewer and fewer, and the passion of the crowd was gradually dissipating.

“Are there any more challenges?”

The skinny man asked when he saw that no one was continuing to challenge him.

The surroundings were quiet. Shi Kui’s realm wasn’t very high. He was only at the middle Heavenly Martial Realm, but he had the combat strength of a peak Heavenly Martial Realm Great Perfection. This made many people feel discouraged.

“If we defeat Shi Kui, we will obtain 100,000 Yuan Spirit Pills. Do you have any? Do you have any challenges?”

Glancing around, he found that no one challenged him. The skinny man had doubled his benefits. Whoever could defeat Shi Kui would obtain 100,000 Yuan Spirit Pills. This amount was too tempting.

Whoosh!

A pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared on the arena. Its pair of eyes were like fierce ghosts, emitting a gloomy aura of death.

Ye Feng stood in the crowd. When he saw this black-clothed man, the corner of his eyes shrank.

“They’re actually on the boat!”

It was one of the Ghost Guards that flew onto the arena. Ye Feng quickly recognized it. Originally, he intended to ascend the arena, but Ye Feng was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to see what the Ghost Guards were up to.

After throwing out the 10,000 Yuan Spirit Pill, the Ghost Guard’s body suddenly disappeared from its original position and swept a punch towards Shi Kui.

Shi Kui was at the middle Heavenly Martial Stage, while the Ghost Guard had already reached the early Immortal Martial Stage. The rule was that there was no gap between two small realms. It was clear that this was a competition that exceeded the rules. The skinny man was about to stop it when he discovered that someone had pressed down on his right hand.

The Ghost Guard’s fist carried a ferocious aura as it rapidly approached Shi Kui.

Shi Kui seemed to be aware of the danger as well. An old tree coiled around his body and punched back at the Ghost Guard.

“Bang!”

A powerful punch shot out in all directions. Fortunately, this place had been carefully arranged. Even if it was a battle at the Immortal Martial Realm, it would not be able to shake it in the slightest.

“Cheng cheng cheng!”

Shi Kui’s body took a few steps back, while the Ghost Guard took a step back.

Turning his fist into a palm, the Ghost Guard grabbed Shi Kui with one claw, mercilessly. In the eyes of the Ghost Guard, there was no mercy, only orders.

Shi Kui’s face was expressionless as he calmly responded to the battle. His footsteps fell as he pushed his fists towards the Ghost Guard.

Right at this moment, the Ghost Guard’s body suddenly disappeared and both of his hands grabbed onto Shi Kui’s forehead. If he grabbed it firmly, Shi Kui would be dismembered.

Facing the sudden attack of the Ghost Guards, Shi Kui’s expression did not change. He seemed to have expected that it was still a simple punch. It was as if every punch was so ordinary, yet filled with the endless Grand Dao.

Chi!

Shi Kui’s speed was fast, while the Ghost Guard’s speed was even faster. Avoiding Shi Kui’s punch, his claws fiercely grabbed onto Shi Kui’s back, and ten scarlet claw marks appeared.

Fresh blood!

Shi Kui stood there expressionlessly, not even in the slightest bit of pain.

A sea-like aura burst out from Shi Kui’s body. He was actually at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Stage, the Great Perfection Stage. Just now, he had suppressed the realm.

“Shi Kui lost this match!”

Seeing that Shi Kui was about to release his cultivation realm, the skinny man suddenly stood up and announced that Shi Kui had lost.

Only at this moment did Shi Kui’s expression loosen. He looked at the skinny man with a puzzled gaze.

“You’re injured. Go down and rest!”

The skinny man glanced at Shi Kui and asked him to go down to rest.

Very quickly, Shi Kui realized that a numb feeling came from his back. It was extremely poisonous, a poison that even the Heavenly Martial Realm couldn’t undo.

This change was unacceptable to everyone else. Even Shi Kui was no match for him. Now that he had switched to the Immortal Martial Stage, there was no chance for him to do so.

The Ghost Guard’s eyes were very empty as they searched the crowd, as if they were looking for something.

“Are there any other challenges? The conditions are the same. If we defeat this person and obtain 100,000 Yuan Spirit Pills, we will still lose 10,000 Yuan!”

The skinny man knocked on the bronze gong in his hand and announced loudly.

No one answered. Everyone still didn’t want to die. Just now, they saw that even Shi Kui was poisoned. Once they went up, they might even lose their lives.

Whoosh!

At this moment, another black shadow flew up.

“If you want to challenge me, please hand over 10,000 spirit pills!”

Seeing that the challenger did not take out the Origin Spirit Pill, the skinny man stepped forward and asked.

“I’m not challenging him. I’m helping him challenge him!”

The black-clothed man who rushed over was actually not a challenger, but a helper to the Ghost Guard. What was his purpose?

“Ye Feng, I know you’re here. Get out of here and accept our challenge. If you don’t want to be a cowardly turtle, get out of here obediently!”

It was Hei Luo who rushed onto the arena. Now that he had completely lost contact with Ghost Eye, he could not find the location that Ye Feng was sure of. He could not search every single room. Just now, when the arena competition appeared, he thought of this idea with a flash of light.

Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t know what had happened. Who was Ye Feng, and why did they challenge him in public?

“It’s really a ghost!”

The moment the Ghost Guards stepped onto the arena, Ye Feng had already guessed that the matter was definitely not that simple.
