Chapter 1172

In the Demon Tree Forest, besides Biggie, many others were being hunted.

Since the Demon Tree and the three Holy King beasts had joined forces, the locations of the Holy King Level powerhouses participating in the assessment were quickly exposed under the Demon Tree's detection. To the Demon Tree, the Holy King Level human candidates were a huge threat and had to be eradicated as soon as possible.

The three Saint-King-level Demonic Beasts quickly found Rong Ye, Angelina, and Erza.

As for the Holy Kings of the five major tribes, since they did not have detection magic, they could only rush toward the area where the Demon Tree was. This was because they knew that the candidates would definitely be interested in the Demon Tree Blood Fruit. All they needed to do was to wait for them to come to them. However, on the way to the area where the Demon Tree was, they also paid attention to any abnormal energy fluctuations along the way.

Almost all the candidates were killing plant spiritual monsters day and night to obtain Rule Fragments. Moreover, most of them made a lot of noise when they fought. This was also the reason why Lampard had gone to Biggie's doorstep.

However, not everyone was like that.

Hark from the Gu Ding Pirates was an exception. He was a killer with the ultimate stealth ability. If he wanted to, he could even stand within ten meters of a Holy King without being discovered. To him, hiding in the forest was child's play.

Moreover, for Huck, killing was an art. Making his enemies die silently was also one of his areas of expertise.

Not only was his killing silent, but it was also extremely fast. Most of the time, people could not find the cause of death.

Unlike Gu Ding and Biggie, who were strong fighters, Hark cultivated the art of killing. Even if he encountered a powerhouse of the same level, as long as he found an opening, he would basically be able to kill them in one blow. Even if it was a Holy King Level powerhouse like Elsa, as long as he was given enough time to prepare beforehand, he would have a high chance of killing her.

With Hark's killing ability, if he was not with the Gu Ding Pirates but under the control of some evil force, he would most likely become the nightmare of countless geniuses in the Main Plane. He might even become the nightmare of Holy King Level geniuses.

Since entering the forest, although Hark was not the strongest, he was definitely one of the powerhouses who had the easiest and smoothest time among the thirty-seven people who participated in the fourth stage of the assessment.

…

Other than Huck, Lilliath had it relatively easy. Although she could not directly control these plant gremlins with her soul power, her soul power was their nemesis.

These wood spirits were just the derivative life forms of the demon tree. It would take millions of years for them to gain intelligence, and their souls were hundreds of times weaker than human beings with the same combat strength. Not to mention, Liliath was a super monster who specialized in Soul Power.

Lilliath was already a Holy Lord-level monster, and her soul strength was close to that of a Holy King. If she used Pupillary Abilities to enhance it, she could even compete with a real Holy King for a short period of time.

She only needed to sweep out her Soul Power, and the souls of these plant demons would be directly exterminated. Thus, her journey was simply unobstructed. She had it easier in these woods than Huck ever had.

…

Phaser's combat effectiveness was second only to Gu Ding and Biggie in the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. In fact, she was almost on par with Biggie.

He cultivated the Sword Dao. His sword techniques were sharp, swift, and simple.

To some extent, the Sword Dao that Phaser believed in was somewhat similar to the Killing Path that Huck believed in. However, Huck's goal was to kill, and the ultimate goal of all her moves was to pursue the best killing effect. Phaser, on the other hand, pursued the ultimate state of simplifying sword techniques to achieve the ultimate state of breaking all laws with one sword.

Therefore, Phaser's swordsmanship was not quite the same as the mainstream swordsmanship of current swordsmen. He pursued the ultimate use of simple moves to exert the most powerful attack power. Nowadays, the mainstream sword techniques pursued beautiful and elegant moves. Of course, the power had to be great, but whether it was simple or not was not within the scope of consideration.

In this demon tree forest, Phaser's sword was also extremely fast. Before the plant gremlins could react, he had already completed the kill. Naturally, there was no need to make too much noise.

…

Becca of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was the latest member to join.

After joining the crew, he did not fight many times because there were too many powerful combat strength in the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Usually, it was not his turn to fight.

He was not a battle-hungry person. On the pirate crew, his usual job was to play the guqin and help everyone relax.

However, this did not mean that his combat strength was not strong. After all, he was also a Holy Lord-level monster powerhouse.

Becca and the Gu Ding Pirates came from different great worlds, and it could even be said that the rules of their worlds were different. In the world he came from, sound path had been developed to the extreme, and it was not far from the mainstream swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and martial arts. He was also a natural genius in music.

Sound could be used to kill. Of course, there were many other uses for it.

After discovering that the plant gremlins in this forest could communicate with each other, Becca used a strange divine ability — Soundless World.

This divine ability turned the area around him into a world without sound. Then, he plucked the strings of the guqin and cut through the trees one by one. His killing was frighteningly quiet, and it did not cause any disturbance.

…

Although Mikko was only a fourteen-year-old boy, he had been a member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew for four years. In these four years, he had experienced a lot with the Gu Ding Pirates, far more than most people experienced in their entire lives.

Including the three years Gu Ding had been imprisoned in Purgatory Gate, he and Faust had been to no less than fifty secret realm ruins. It could be said that his combat experience was not inferior to anyone in the Gu Ding Pirates.

He was also a young Holy Lord, and could be considered the youngest person to become a Holy Lord in the entire Main Plane. With his super high intelligence and the skills of a boundary master, there were not many Holy Lord powerhouses who could beat him.

Mikko's biggest problem in the past was that he was blind and could not see. However, as the number of battles he fought increased, he had long since made up for this weakness. By attaching a special perceptual boundary to himself, not only did it greatly enhance his other sensory abilities, but it also allowed him to obtain images through other sensory abilities. In a way, it was even more useful than his eyes. It was just that the world of perception was only black and white, and there were no other colors.

His boundary technique was also very simple and violent. It directly covered a target area and used the boundary energy to strangle the target. Not a single sound escaped from the boundary.
