Chapter 897 Day 2 Of The 3rd Trial (1)



For a full day, the ambushes and the slaughters by the dark raptors occurred throughout the dark pyramids. 

It was tense for the speculators to watch their champions getting slaughtered or to watch them fleeing from the dark raptors. 

Although the champions also put up a fierce fight, there were also many injuries and deaths when the dark raptors exploded when they were killed. 

But there was no sight of the Hunter Snow Black yet. 

At least not until the appointed time. 

It was because the Trial Spirit had purposely waited for a full day before releasing Hunter Snow Black as the champions would be on high alert to watch out for the sight of the Hunter Snow Black and it would be nerve racking for them.

The aim of this trial was to exhaust the champions both physically and mentally. 

The dark apparition of the Trial Spirit was now saying to the large profound mirror on the wall, "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the most beautiful man among the champions?"

A handsome and beautiful face was shown in the profound mirror and it was Ji Yuan. 

The dark apparition of the Trial Spirit hummed coldly, "This ugly man will soon be dead. Mirror, mirror on the wall. Whose battle imagery is the most viewed by the divine senses of the speculators?"

Again, a handsome and beautiful face was shown in the profound mirror and it was Ji Yuan. 

"This ugly man again…"

"Mirror, mirror on the wall. Whose battle imagery is the most viewed by the divine consorts?" 

Once again, a handsome and beautiful face was shown in the profound mirror and it was Ji Yuan. 

"This ugly man again!!! Are these divine consorts all blind?!" 

The dark apparition of the Trial Spirit flickered her fingers at another profound black mirror before saying angrily, "Go now, Hunter Snow Black. Slaughter all the champions that cross your path. May the Woke be with you!"

Then she added with a cold smile, "For the black pyramid that this Ji Yuan is at, an extra difficulty will be added for you. For you, there is no fairy tale ending…" 

All in all, 55 Hunter Snow Blacks were released for the 55 champion teams in the 55 black pyramids.

Day 2 of the 3rd Trial.

A few hours ago, Ji Yuan's team had a battle with 6 dark raptors that come from all sides. 

When the first ambushing dark raptor was killed by Ji Yuan, the rest of the 5 dark raptors began to attack Ji Yuan and his team directly. 

Although in the end, Ji Yuan and his team were victorious but Sun Dashu was injured while Zhao Gao was slightly injured. 

They were lucky that no one was killed; these 5 dark raptors were after all 6th rank profound beasts and together, they could still kill a great saint easily since they have tens of times more physical strength than their strongest cultivator. 

Ji Yuan had picked a great hallway with 3 passage ways to rest, "We shall rest here."

Zhao Gao was frowning as clutched his chest painfully; he had been wounded by one of the dark raptors to his chest earlier. 

"We are resting in this place? You mean you have been searching for a such a dangerous place for us to rest?"

He was in disbelief. 

And so did Sun Dashu and even Heng Wujian; to them, it did not make any sense and this place looked like a most vulnerable place where they could be attacked from all sides.

What they need now was a defensive place where they could camp to regain their profound strength and to recuperate from their injuries.

All the previous temporary brotherhood had suddenly vanished from their team now after a brutal fight with the 6 dark raptors a couple of hours ago and everyone had become impatient or nervous.

Ji Yuan grinned, "This place is good. We don't know how many dark raptors there are in this place. Maybe 1, 10 or even 100. What if it is a 100? Then we have two more exits to run to. Haha…"

Zhao Gao was shocked, "Run?! I am a great saint! A blessed son of the heavens! I'll never run away from troubles or from the inferior enemies even if they are numerous!"

Ji Yuan chuckled aloud, "I actually run away quite a lot of times. Haha…"

Zhao Gao, Heng Wujian and Sun Dashu: …

Ji Yuan continued to chuckle, "Don't be too hasty, all my brothers here. You will never know what troubles we may face right? If things turn south, we can always run. Don't you agree?"

This time round, Heng Wujian hummed coldly. "My divine consort right now is watching me. In front of my divine consort, I shall not engage in any unheroic act. Moreover, I can easily dispatch of these dark raptors anyway."I think you should take a look at

He was not wrong that his Divine Consort Fu Rong was indeed watching their battle imagery from her Divine Temple. However, he did not know that his Divine Consort Fu Rong was actually looking more at Ji Yuan rather than him. 

Sun Dashu said weakly due to his heavy injuries, "I have to agree with Great Saint Heng Wujian. Didn't we agree to fight these dangers together? This is our plan, right?"

Ji Yuan frowned when he saw the injured Sun Dashu. Earlier, Ji Yuan even had to expend some of his precious profound strength to save him.

"You sure you can still fight?"

Ji Yuan stared at him as he asked him this question.

Sun Dashu laughed weakly, "We are being watched by a great deal of people from the outside. Brother Ji Yuan, you are the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan, surely you want to put on a good show as well for the people outside as well as gaining your Trust Points, right?"

Ji Yuan chuckled, "I've already got my 100 Trust Points already."

When he had said that, Sun Dashu, Zhao Gao and Heng Wujian were all shocked. 

Zhao Gao interrupted into their conversations, "So the rumors are true after all. You have already screwed your Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei and made her into your maiden?"

Sun Dashu was also stammering as he asked, "Is… this true?"

Heng Wujian hummed coldly, "What a scoundrel!" 

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Before Ji Yuan could even protest, Zhao Gao added by reminding Ji Yuan. "Since we are all celestial champions here, we can all be honest with one another here. It is pointless to score 100 Trust Points for a time. We also have to maintain it as well until the end of the trial. Our trial rewards are based on how much Trust Points we can achieve from our divine consorts so we need to maintain it as high as possible…"

"… Brother Ji Yuan, if you display any signs of cowardice, do you think that you are still able to maintain your 100 Trust Points?"

Sun Dashu was nodding because he totally agreed with Zhao Gao on this.

Ji Yuan frowned before he sarcastically said, "After the trials here, I can always make love to my divine consort again." 

Zhao Gao, Sun Dashu, Heng Wujian: …

Heng Wujian had unsheathed his heaven-step divine sword at Ji Yuan now, "You bastard!!!" 

Ji Yuan stepped back and he had his hand on his immortal scabbard, "What is wrong with you?" 

Heng Wujian shouted angrily, "Bastard! Draw your divine sword and fight me one to one!"

Ji Yuan grinned, "Cool it! I am only kidding with you…"

Heng Wujian had attacked Ji Yuan now with a powerful sword strike that caused the surrounding air to echo loudly with the profound power of his strike. 

Ji Yuan unsheathed Xiang Li to block the attack but he was still being forced back 3 steps; it was because this Heng Wujian was a great saint cultivator that was also using all his profound strength while Ji Yuan was still conditioning himself.

Sun Dashu muttered weakly, "We shouldn't have any in-fighting in our team…"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan raised his hand to say to Heng Wujian, "Did you hear that?"

Heng Wujian was also startled, "Yes…"

It was because they had suddenly heard the sound of a spear grinding on the floors of the great hallway.

Even Zhao Gao and Sun Dashu had also raised their divine swords in alarm.

It did not take them long to see a black armored bulky figure to emerge from the dark passage way; it was Huntress Snow Black that was accompanied by 7 dark raptors that were moving silently. 

Sun Dashu was shocked, "7 dark raptors?!"

Zhao Gao gasped, "We have encountered Hunter Snow Black…"

Heng Wujian said coldly, "We shall fight them and send them back to the abyss!"

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Well, if you say so…"
