A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1244: Kill Order

At this moment.

The man was utterly panicked.

Even within a ten-meter radius around Baiyu, he could not escape. This powerful pressure was incredibly terrifying, his Blood Qi inside his body struggled to flow, stagnating.

Not only was he unable to fight, but he also could not run away.

The flames he prided himself on were useless against the opponent.

"If you dare to kill me, my master is Fire Element Monarch, and my sister is the first genius on this generation’s White Bone Ship. If you kill me, you’ll never make it out alive!"

The man shouted hoarsely.

He had misjudged Baiyu’s strength, leading to the current predicament.

However.

He believed the opponent wouldn’t dare kill him; this was his confidence!

Yet.

In the next moment, his head flew high.

Baiyu shook the Black Blade in his hand, letting the blood drip off, watching the man’s headless body fall, twitching for a moment before supplementing with several strikes, ensuring the man was completely dead.

Afterwards.

Baiyu searched on his body, finding a total of three tree leaves.

Along with the previous ones.

It made a total of five leaves.

The distance from the total of seven tree leaves was not too far off.

Baiyu silently shook the blade, glanced at the man’s thoroughly dead body, and walked over to the tree where a nailed-down young girl was.

Her eyes wide open, face still lingering with remnants of fear.

"Even though I’ve already handed over the tree leaves, why do you have to kill me..." Baiyu sighed.

He had some feelings about the girl’s death in his heart.

She wasn’t supposed to die.

However.

At that moment.

The body nailed to the tree trunk suddenly moved.

Baiyu clearly remembered he hadn’t seen wrong, and at his level, it was impossible to see wrong.

This time.

The body on the tree trunk writhed again.

The Fire Spears gradually disappeared, and the girl’s body fell to the ground, with Baiyu frowning.

In the next moment.

The girl’s eyes moved again, and her limbs twisted, slowly climbing up from the ground.

The originally vanished signs of life returned to her body.

"Phew, scared me to death."

The girl turned her head to Baiyu, then breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "Luckily I used Substitute Death Technique earlier, otherwise I would have truly died today. This beast actually attacks with lethal force upon meeting."

Baiyu remained silent.

"What’s wrong?"

The girl raised her head.

Baiyu shook his head: "Nothing, it’s good to be alive."

"Let’s team up."

At that moment, the girl looked expectantly at Baiyu, proposing: "I understand the situation within this forest and most of the participants’ data, your strength is powerful, and we can complement each other just right!"

"Can we still team up?"

Baiyu asked.

The girl nodded: "Yes, as long as each person collects seven tree leaves and safely reaches the endpoint, then it counts as passing.

Considering we need to gather 14 leaves.

However.

With my involvement, you can collect the leaves more easily and face weaker enemies, trust me! If you feel I have no use, you can terminate the cooperation at any time."

The girl had already spoken to this extent.

Baiyu thought.

There was no harm in agreeing, the other person seemed to be a native of the White Bone Ship, knowing a lot of information.

Collaborating with her.

Had no downsides.

"My name is Geman, I am a Priest."

Baiyu extended his hand.

The girl similarly extended her hand, her green dress swaying gently: "Man Ling, pleased to cooperate, Priest Geman."

Baiyu nodded.

Man Ling quickly got up from the ground, and then glanced at the man who attacked her.

Earlier she directly used Substitute Death Technique to dodge it.

So she didn’t know who exactly had killed her.

However.

Upon checking, her face turned slightly pale.

"This is Fire Spear Guan Fei, his master is Fire Element Monarch, his sister is Fire Saber Guan Yue."

"Very powerful?"

"Inside the White Bone Ship, the number of Monarchs is not many, and they have been here for many years, some people came in injured, so many have declined in strength a lot.

But, after all, they were once Monarchs.

No matter how much their Realm has fallen.

They are still terrifying.

And his sister, Fire Saber Guan Yue, is one of the strongest in the new generation, rumored to already have the strength of the Moon Devouring Realm, very terrifying."

Man Ling explained the forces behind the Fire Spear to Baiyu.

"New generation? In this Prison, are there still newcomers born?"

"You’ve just arrived here not long ago, right? Within the White Bone Ship, apart from not being able to leave, everything else can be done. The inner space here is far bigger than it appears.

Although survival resources are limited.

Maintaining the lives of tens of thousands is still feasible.

Every year on the giant ship, there are newborns.

Nature will also have new cultivators."

Man Ling chuckled and then said with two parts helplessness: "Only, these newborns become prisoners upon arrival, unable to leave this gigantic Prison...

If there were a chance.

I’d really like to go outside and have a look."

Baiyu roughly understood the situation here.

He continued to ask: "Next, should we gather tree leaves, this snake is indeed weak, can you find such Exotic Beasts?"

Man Ling nodded: "Yes, follow me."

...

Man Ling seemed to have a natural affinity-type ability, familiar with everything within the forest.

Quickly.

Baiyu, under her guidance, found three Exotic Beasts carrying tree leaves in succession.

And these three Exotic Beasts were very weak, roughly only at Tier One Eclipse Moon Realm. Even though Exotic Beasts’ bodies were somewhat stronger than humans, compared to Baiyu, their strength was way too lacking.

Instantly, Baiyu’s tree leaves had increased to eight pieces.

That is to say.

Now, at least one of them could safely move to the next stage.

"No hurry, next we go East, there are several Exotic Beasts carrying tree leaves, I observed earlier, it seems no one else has found them yet."

Man Ling had already planned the route.

However.

At that moment, suddenly in the sky above the forest, the clouds changed, a female voice sounded in the sky:

"The person who killed my brother has a Flame Curse on him, find him, and kill him! Anyone who kills him can come to me, Guan Yue, bring his head and exchange it for seven tree leaves!"

Baiyu frowned.

This voice was heard by everyone in the forest.

And obviously.

The target being wanted, was himself.

Baiyu sensed his own aura, indeed there was a strong Flame Elemental presence, and this element wouldn’t fade for at least several days.

This was left on him by Fire Spear Guan Fei’s death, seemingly a curse-like thing.

Equivalent to having a mark placed on him.

Unexpectedly.

One could still be wanted in such a manner.

Man Ling’s face looked somewhat pale, she turned to Baiyu and said: "I’ll take you to a place to hide, absolutely won’t be found, just hide for these few days, afterwards no one will know you killed Guan Fei!"

This indeed was the best option.

However.

Baiyu at this moment said: "Aren’t we still missing tree leaves? It seems we don’t need to search anymore."
