Facing the enraged Demonic Beasts, Chen Zheng did not retreat.
The earlier pretense of being no match was only for Peng Yu and Shi Tianhao; now that both were dead, Chen Zheng naturally no longer needed to pretend.
"Flowing Cloud Kill!"
Around Chen Zheng, countless Saber Shadows suddenly bloomed, and within a few meters, blood splattered, Demonic Beast fragments flew, and an empty space was instantly cleared.
Chen Zheng took advantage of the momentum to land, then stomped forcefully, his figure soaring again, flying towards the Hunting Ground entrance.
The Tian Family members wanted to use these Demonic Beasts to encircle and kill Chen Zheng.
But they had overestimated Chen Zheng's strength!
Demonic Beasts below the second rank could not threaten Chen Zheng at all, and the strongest Demonic Beast in this Hunting Ground was only at the ninth level of the first rank!
If Chen Zheng wanted to kill, it would only take one Saber strike!
However, he did not want to expose too much of his strength, so he did not choose to continue fighting these Demonic Beasts. As long as the commotion here attracted the examiners' attention, Xu Hanliang would inevitably intervene!
Chen Zheng used Ghost Shadow Seven Steps, like walking a dog, leading the Demonic Beasts behind him... outside the Hunting Ground.
"Someone came out!"
Someone exclaimed, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"There's still nearly an hour until the end, why come out now?"
Someone was puzzled.
"It's Zhu Hai!"
Someone with sharp eyes recognized the person.
On the viewing platform.
The Tian Family, Peng Family, and Shi Family all straightened up, looking towards the Hunting Ground entrance.
"This is bad! This is bad! The Demonic Beasts in the Hunting Ground have all gone mad!"
Zhu Hai cried out in alarm!
Following closely behind him were other contestants who had participated in the hunt; Zhu Hai had rescued them on his way back.
These people's strength was only around the fifth or sixth level of the Acquired Realm, and facing the Demonic Beast tide, even though the tide was not aimed at them, they almost lost their lives.
Terrified, they also started shouting.
"The Demonic Beasts have all gone mad! Their strength has doubled, and they're moving in groups, impossible to hunt!"
"Inside, we've become the prey instead!"
"It's too dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately erupted!
"What? Isn't that a Demonic Beast tide forming?"
"Yu'er hasn't come out yet! Is he okay?"
"A Demonic Beast tide! It's a Demonic Beast tide! Great Master Examiner, please stop the assessment!"
"Save them!"
The scene immediately descended into chaos, especially those with family members participating, who all pleaded for help towards the viewing platform.
Xu Hanliang's expression darkened.
He glanced at the three families.
The three families, who had initially looked excited, immediately reined in their smiles, adopting an innocent expression of looking down at their noses.
Xu Hanliang naturally saw the problem, but there was no time to argue with the three families now. He stomped his foot, his figure leaping, and rushed directly into the Hunting Ground.
"Heh! It seems they succeeded!"
"But is that kid really that strong? Strong enough that they had to choose a second plan?"
Peng Cheng and Shi Quan, while excited, also showed signs of doubt.
A heavy weight lifted from Tian Jingyi's heart, and a smile spread across his face: "Why don't we just ask?"
Saying that, he waved to Zhu Hai.
Zhu Hai quickly scurried over, his previously fearful face now showing a smile: "Great Master, I have not failed your trust!"
Tian Yilin excitedly asked from the side: "Is that good-for-nothing dead or not?"
Zhu Hai said with confidence: "He's definitely dead!"
Tian Jingyi waved his hand, interrupting the others, and said calmly: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Hai respectfully responded, then recounted the events.
He had already simulated this scenario countless times with Chen Zheng in the Hunting Ground, so when he spoke now, there was no hesitation, nor any flaws.
"A Saber Sheath that can emit Saber Qi?"
"Sun Sheng died at the very beginning? No wonder you had to adopt the second plan!"
"Haha... that good-for-nothing won't die this time?"
After hearing Zhu Hai's description, besides Tian Yilin, the most excited were naturally the Peng and Shi Families.
"Zhu Hai, did you see whose hands that good-for-nothing died in? It must have been Peng Yu, right?" Peng Cheng's eyes were burning, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Nonsense!" Shi Quan snorted coldly: "The one who killed that kid was naturally someone from my Shi Family! Zhu Hai, am I wrong?"
The pressure from two Kai Mai Realm experts swept over, and Zhu Hai's face instantly turned pale, filled with panic: "I don't know! Brother Peng and Brother Shi told me to come out and report first, and I didn't see them make a move..."
"Moreover, to be safe, it's most secure to directly watch that kid die, there's no need to take such a risk, right?"
Zhu Hai feigned a puzzled expression.
"Enough!"
Tian Jingyi stepped forward at this moment, taking on the pressure from the two: "Who killed him, you'll know when your family members come out!"
After speaking, he turned and patted Zhu Hai's shoulder, praising: "You deserve the most credit for this matter. Since Sun Sheng is dead, then everything promised to him will be given to you instead!"
Zhu Hai immediately showed gratitude, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and said with a serious expression: "Thank you, Great Master! My Zhu Family will naturally go through fire and water for the Tian Family, without hesitation!"
Tian Jingyi showed a satisfied expression, glancing at Tian Yilin beside him.
Tian Yilin immediately understood, and with a smiling face, he stepped forward to help Zhu Hai up: "Brother Zhu, why such formality? You work for my Tian Family, so you and I are brothers! When we get to Xuanlin Academy in the future, we must also support each other!"
Zhu Hai looked tearfully grateful: "Thank you for looking so highly upon me, Brother Tian. From now on, I will definitely follow your lead!"
Ignoring the Tian Family's efforts to win people over, Peng and Shi continued to stare intently at the Hunting Ground entrance, eagerly awaiting the appearance of their own people.
Inside the Hunting Ground!
Chen Zheng led the beast horde, trying to go to places with fewer people.
But if someone truly couldn't control their curiosity and insisted on joining the excitement, then their death couldn't be blamed on him.
As he was about to reach the exit, more and more people appeared, and Chen Zheng began to act again, appearing disheveled, as if he would perish in the maw of a beast at any moment.
Outsiders who saw him quickly distanced themselves from Chen Zheng, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
But one person was an exception!
"Chen Zheng! How is he still alive?"
Peng Liang's face was filled with astonishment.
Although he didn't know the specifics, he knew that the three families had set up a deadly trap to kill Chen Zheng!
Watching Chen Zheng struggle to survive, Peng Liang gradually put aside his doubts, and a bold idea began to grow in his mind.
"If I could personally kill this good-for-nothing, wouldn't the title of Marquis Chiye fall to me?"
The more he thought about it, the more fervent Peng Liang's heart became.
It was certainly good to enjoy a life of luxury relying on his family's noble title, but how could that compare to becoming a Marquis himself!
Even if the title didn't fall to him, he would certainly be heavily rewarded!
The last time he gambled with Chen Zheng, he lost twenty thousand gold coins and was severely reprimanded upon his return. Now was also a good time for revenge!
It was truly killing several birds with one stone!
"This good-for-nothing has found his path to death!"
Killing intent flared in his eyes. Peng Liang gripped his long Saber and stealthily approached Chen Zheng, hiding ahead of Chen Zheng's path.
At this time, the Demonic Beasts became even more violent, completely ignoring everyone else except Chen Zheng, which gave Peng Liang an even better opportunity to get close!
"Now's the time!"
When Chen Zheng got close, Peng Liang's face was filled with excitement, and his long Saber suddenly slashed out!
