2028

On the Demon Hunt Squad, everyone looked in their direction with playful expressions.

Because there were very few people in the Second Ring, they all knew each other. Even if they didn't know each other, they had met before.

For newbies, people from the Second Ring would reject them, because newbies would steal away resources. Normally, if a new person from the Second Ring would appear, they would hide themselves, and very few would swagger out, because once they were discovered, it would be difficult for a new person to escape death. Newcomers like Xu Taiping who came to the Ghost Hunting Ground early in the morning had never appeared before in history, so everyone was waiting for that stout man to teach Xu Taiping a lesson, or just kill him to let Xu Taiping know the rules of the Second Ring.

"Humph!" The stout man snorted and directly punched towards Xu Taiping's face.

In the eyes of others, this punch was very fast, but in Xu Taiping's eyes, it was as if he was slowing down.

Xu Taiping raised his hand, opened his thumb and forefinger, and then pinched them.

Pah! Xu Taiping's fingers clamped onto the man's wrist, and then he suddenly slapped his palm down.

With a "pa" sound, the stout man's hand suddenly smashed onto the ground. At the same time, the stout man's body also smashed into the ground.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With a loud bang, the burly man fell face first onto the ground.

Without waiting for the muscular man to get up, Xu Taiping lifted his leg and stomped on the man's neck.

With a crack, the sturdy man's neck was broken, and he fell to the ground, twitching violently.

After twitching a few times, the burly man stopped moving.

Xu Taiping put his foot under the thick man's body and then used his strength to lift it.

This robust man's body was directly sent flying, and he flew higher and higher, further and further away, before finally flying out of the Demon Hunt Squad.

"I didn't expect that you wouldn't even be qualified to warm me up." Xu Taiping shook his head helplessly.

The surrounding second ringed experts, who saw this scene, were all dumbfounded.

A newbie that could instantly kill a two ringed old man?

How was this possible? The people living in the second ring were all figures comparable to ghost generals, so how could they be instantly killed by a newcomer?

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. If this rookie could instantly kill that old man from before, did that mean that this rookie could also instantly kill other people?

Everyone unconsciously retracted their gazes. They were afraid that Xu Taiping would notice them, and if he did, it would be troublesome.

"That person, could he be here to challenge the Spirit King?!" Someone suddenly asked in a low voice.

This person's voice was heard by many people. Soon after, many people revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.

This super expert newbie who had suddenly appeared was definitely not here for no reason at all. Such a strong character, his goal might also be very powerful. If he thought about the Ghost King re-election in the next few days, then this person's goal would be revealed!

This person must be here to snatch the position of the Spirit King!

If this person was able to kill the Ghost King in the Demon Hunt Squad today, it would mean that all of the original Ghost Generals would be stripped of their status, and the new Ghost King would possibly choose a new Ghost King to assist him in the future!

Once he became a Ghost General, the benefits would be tremendous!

Everyone was looking forward to Xu Taiping getting rid of the Spirit King. The reason they had come to the Demon Hunt Squad for so many days was actually to have a chance to see the Spirit King get killed at such a close distance! Once the Spirit King was killed, the entire City of Fear would be reshuffled!

Xu Taiping sat there, killing one person, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

Right at that time, a group of people entered the Demon Hunt Squad.

At the time this group of people appeared, everyone surrounding the Demon Hunt Squad stood up, and only Xu Taiping remained seated.

This group of people were none other than the seventeen Ghost Generals and the Ghost King!

Today, all of the Ghost Generals had actually come to the Demon Hunt Squad. This person had never appeared before, and even though there would be a future Ghost General, there would only be two or three of them every time. The other Ghost Generals had their own matters to attend to, such as No.15 Ghost General, who wanted to sell badges in the Fourth Ring, No.11 Ghost General, who wanted to guard the Third Ring …

Every Ghost General had their own work to do, and today, all the Ghost Generals dropped their work and came to the Demon Hunt Squad. This made everyone in the Demon Hunt Squad very surprised.

These seventeen Ghost Generals surrounded the Spirit King, making it look even more majestic. After that, the dozen or so Ghost Generals spread out and stood behind the Spirit King.

"Why is my posture different from before?"

"That's right, why are all the Ghost Generals acting as if they were facing a great enemy?"

The surrounding people all asked curiously.

No one gave them an answer!

Just then, Xu Taiping stood up.

"You guys wait here. I'll be right back." As Xu Taiping spoke, he directly entered the Demon Hunt Squad.

"Go for it!" Mikaleira shouted.

"Go for it!" "Open the seal!" Karwendi also shouted. As long as Xu Taiping won, it would be very easy for them to open the seal.

Xu Taiping arrived at the Demon Hunt Squad and stood there, facing the Spirit King.

Seeing this scene, everyone present finally understood why the Ghost King felt as if he had met a great enemy. It was likely that they already knew the challenger's strength.

"How do we fight?" Xu Taiping asked.

"One on one, as long as you can kill me, the position of the Ghost King is yours." The Spirit King said coldly.

"Is it that simple?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Of course, in the City of Fear, all problems will be solved by the simplest method, and that is by killing." The Spirit King said.

"Sure!" Xu Taiping smiled, looked at the Ghost King's waist and said, "You use a knife?"

"You can also choose a weapon." The Spirit King said.

"I... Just use a dagger. " Xu Taiping pulled out a dagger from his waist and said, "I won't kill you, at least until you tell me who your master is."

"I will also tell you who was my former master before you die." As the Ghost King spoke, he pulled out his blade from his waist.

It was a Tang Sword. The blade was very straight and was about 80 cm long. It was neither long nor short. The entire blade was black as if it was made of ink and the blade was very sharp. It emitted a faint black light under the sunlight.

"All of you can leave. Regardless of the outcome, none of you are allowed to interfere." The Spirit King said.

"Got it, Ghost King." As everyone spoke, they all withdrew and walked to the edge of the Demon Hunt Squad.

Xu Taiping retreated two steps, pulling away from the Spirit King, and then he held onto the dagger in his hand.

"You can begin." Xu Taiping said.

"As you wish." As the Spirit King spoke, he took a step back and held the blade with both hands. He held the blade horizontally with the tip of the blade close to his face.

The Ghost King's retreating steps were much smaller than when the Sword Master had raised his sword. With such small steps, it would be easier for him to increase his speed in a short period of time.

When the Spirit King had adjusted its posture, in the next moment, the Spirit King's body had already arrived in front of Xu Taiping.

The Ghost King raised his two hands high up and then chopped down at Xu Taiping with the Tang blade in his hands.

This is the simplest chop of all swordsmanship, but it is also the hardest. How much strength do you need to use to make the blade's power reach its maximum? If you use too much strength, it is possible that you will directly break the sword. If you do not use enough strength, it is also possible that you will not be able to achieve the desired damage effect. At the same time, this blade also needs to consider the angle, not only the angle of your attack, but also the angle of attack. If the angle is not good enough, it is possible that the other party would directly cut your hand off.

Xu Taiping looked at the Ghost King's chop and knew, the Ghost King's chop had already reached the rank of Grandmaster, this slash of his, the power of his slash was perfect, and there was no flaw in the angle, he had no way to attack the Spirit King from the side, and at the same time had no way to avoid the blade!

Since he couldn't avoid it, he had no choice but to take it head on!

Xu Taiping held the dagger in his hand and directly aimed it at Tang Dao's blade!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out.

A streak of fiery light shot out from the point where the two blades met!

A small hole appeared in Xu Taiping's dagger, and a small hole appeared in the edge of the blade in the Ghost King's hand!

The two men's control over their strength had already reached an extreme. When their daggers collided with Tang Dao's, both of them used skill and skill. As a result, both of their blades were not broken!

Xu Taiping spun in place, the dagger in his hand drew a perfect arc, blocking Tang Dao's attack. Then he advanced forward, towards the Spirit King's neck.

With a twist of the Spirit King's wrist, Tang Dao moved up and blocked the dagger's path forward.

Clang!

Another crisp sound rang out and the two blades clashed once again, causing sparks to burst out!

The Spirit King's Tang Dao was in a stalemate with Xu Taiping's dagger this time, and did not separate like before.

"Are you just like that?" The Spirit King coldly snorted, then fiercely pulled down Tang Dao from his hand!

Ka ka ka!

Xu Taiping's dagger erupted in flames once again, and with a 'kacha' sound, Xu Taiping's dagger was cut apart by the Spirit King's Tang Dao.

This was not the end. After cutting off Xu Taiping's dagger, Tang Dao rushed straight towards his arm.

With a "pu" sound, Tang Dao cut into Xu Taiping's arm, cutting apart the flesh on it!

"Your hand is mine now!" The Spirit King bellowed, and released all the power it had!

Because beneath the blade was flesh and bones, he did not have to worry about the blade breaking due to his strength!

Right at that moment, a cold light suddenly shone from beneath the Spirit King's body, but the Spirit King had no idea!

"Ghost King be careful!" Ghost General # 1 shouted.

The Spirit King was alarmed, and reflexively retreated a few steps.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The cold light slashed across the Ghost King's stomach three times, but it only cut through the Ghost King's clothes, not the Ghost King's flesh.

"Do you have a reminder?" Xu Taiping said with a smile as he held the dagger in one hand.

The Spirit King lowered its head to look at the clothes on its belly. If no one had reminded him earlier, he would not have immediately retreated. Perhaps, the flesh on its belly had been cut open!

The speed of his hands seemed to have exceeded his imagination!
