The 25th episode of Hunter Association's Shock
The setting sun was like blood, red and vibrant as if about to drip. For the Blackstone City, such a dusk was not uncommon. As a result, the vast majority of people who followed the routine of rising with the sun and resting with its fall had already begun preparing dinner and rest. Except for a few night markets, the dusk was just the beginning of the bustle, especially on the street where the Hunter's Guild was located.
Most bounty hunters go out to do tasks during the day, and at dusk, it is the peak period for handing in tasks. Bounty hunters who come to hand in tasks have to queue up and wait. With so many bounty hunters gathered together, industries such as taverns, restaurants, and weapon shops are all driven to flourish, forming a prosperous business chain.
"Get out of my way, I'm from the Fierce Tiger Hunting Team, here on a mission."
With a loud and boisterous cheer, the Hunter's Guild, which was bustling with people, suddenly became agitated. Many bounty hunters couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear and disgust on their faces, and although they were unwilling, they still made way.
The Manton Hunter Team, established by Wang Weiqiang, the heir of the Blackstone City royal family, five years ago. Not only are there elite experts from the royal family participating in it, but also various figures who have been entangled by the father and son of the royal family over the years through various means. This makes the Manton Hunter Team extremely powerful. If Wang Weiqiang's old man, the head of the royal family, Wang Kui, is included, then the team has a congenital high-level expert, more than ten acquired tenth-level experts, and dozens of acquired seventh-level or higher advanced martial artists. Such strength would be comparable to that of the Brave Hunter Team from the Imperial Capital.
However, compared to the Brave Hunter Team, the reputation of the Ferocious Tiger Hunter Team is extremely poor. The reason lies in the fact that this native power of Blackstone City has always been arrogant and domineering in its actions. Moreover, with team members coming from all walks of life, they often cause trouble, including killing and looting. If it weren't for Wang Ke, a first-rate master of the Fourth Heaven, holding them back, the other powers of Blackstone City would have probably joined forces to wipe them out completely.
Along the road cleared by a group of bounty hunters, a young man with a ferocious face and blond hair walked into the Hunter's Guild hall, carrying a one-foot-square golden silk pouch. He came to the counter, put the pouch on it, opened the mouth of the bag, revealing a long-dead beast corpse inside.
"It's a second-grade top-tier demon beast, the Qingfeng Mouse, which is comparable to a post-heavenly tenth-grade warrior!"
"Damn it, those dead bugs' strength has increased again."
"Why didn't we run into a category 3 hurricane and wipe them all out?"
In the Hunter's Guild hall, there was a sudden burst of noise and chatter. Although it didn't sound very pleasant, the blond young man seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, with a hint of a smile on his face. He turned around and said to the middle-aged woman behind the counter, "I'm here to turn in my quest."
"Wait a minute, let me go first."
A hoarse, extremely calm voice suddenly rang out, and in an instant, the noisy guild hall suddenly fell silent. Almost everyone looked at the person who had appeared behind the blond young man without knowing when.
A black veil covered his appearance, and no one knew his true identity; his inner breath was restrained, and no one could see his cultivation level. Only from the blood-stained green robe on his body, it was not difficult to tell that this person had just experienced a fierce battle; looking at the black leather bag in his hand, which was packed full like a hemp sack, it was even easier to imagine that these were his spoils of war.
"Little kid, who are you? Do you know who I am? You're looking for death—" The blond young man was probably used to being arrogant, and he immediately let out a loud roar. However, when he saw the blue-robed person covered in blood and exuding a fierce aura, he unconsciously swallowed back the second half of his sentence.
Ignoring the blond young man, the person in green robe walked directly to the counter, looked at the small pouch on it, and let out a disdainful snort. With a "bang", he slammed a black leather bag that looked like a sack of hemp onto the counter, opened his hand to reveal the opening of the bag, and a strong bloody smell wafted out.
"Hiss——"
When the crowd saw the prey in the black leather bag, in an instant, all the bounty hunters in the guild hall were stunned, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Heavens! This is a material for a second-grade top-tier demonic beast, the Poisonous Tiger Beast!"
"What's with that gaze of yours? You're clearly material for a Tier 3 Elite Demon Beast, Stormwind Wolf!"
"That... that is... heavens! Am I seeing things? That... that, that's the material for a 4th-grade high-tier demonic beast, Stormwind Wolf King?!"
As soon as this was said, everyone present couldn't help but take another deep breath. A fourth-level high-ranking demon beast is an existence comparable to a human master of the Dan boundary realm. And yet, the man in front of them had actually killed it with one blow. Doesn't this mean that this man in green robes is also a master of the Dan boundary realm?!
The middle-aged woman at the counter was also shocked, in this not-so-prosperous small city, those with innate boundaries were considered top-notch masters, let alone those above the Dan boundary who were superhuman existences?! She had worked in Blackstone City for so many years and it was only the second time she saw a strong person of this level.
"Respected strong one, I am Li Na, the receptionist of Blackstone City Hunter Association. May I ask for your hunter name and what task you'd like to undertake?" The middle-aged woman greeted warmly, a departure from her usual cold demeanor.
"Qiu Shan." Duan Yue responded indifferently, while in his heart he couldn't help but secretly sigh. This world was just so realistic; strength almost represented everything!
"Qiu Shan? I seem to have heard that name before?" Middle-aged woman Li Na murmured, and immediately began to sort through Duan Yue's spoils, categorizing them into corresponding tasks and calculating their prices.
"Qiu Shan Ge, you have completed a total of one 4th-level task, fourteen 3rd-level tasks, and seven 2nd-level tasks. The total reward is 23,700 gold coins. I will prepare the Golden Ticket that can be used throughout the Shenwu Continent for you." Li Na reported the amount she had calculated with a smile, even she herself couldn't help but feel surprised. A Master-level expert was indeed formidable; one person's task rewards exceeded the annual income of a small family.
Duan Yue responded faintly and took the gold ticket from the other person's hand, then walked to the task list not far away, his eyes glanced at the column of pursuit tasks in the local tasks.
"Fierce Tiger Hunting Team..." Duan Yue coldly smiled as he looked at the row of pursuit and kill missions, with a wave of his hand, he accepted them all, then without saying another word, turned around and walked out.
Behind them, the crowd of bounty hunters made way for Duan Yue to pass through, and during this time, no one dared to make a sound, fearing that they would accidentally provoke Duan Yue, the mysterious "Master of the Dan boundary"!
It is worth noting that in the entire Dragon Empire, the number of top-level masters does not exceed ten. Those who are openly acknowledged include only two imperial elders, one imperial priest, and the four family heads, all of whom are almost transcendent existences above the empire, possessing great authority and power. No one dares to offend them lightly.
Before him was the mysterious and powerful cultivator Qiu Shan, who although had never been heard of before, but thinking about how he could kill even a fourth-level high-grade demonic beast, no one dared to question his strength.
Of course, if there is a reckless young man who is not afraid of death in the scene, he may try to come up and try his luck, risking being killed on the spot. Unfortunately, it is clear that there is no such person in the scene, and even the blond young man who was extremely arrogant just now is as gentle as a small cat.
Is the Tiger Hunting Team strong? Are the masters of the Innate Fourfold Heaven Boundary strong? In front of a master-level expert in the Embracing Elixir Realm, everything is empty. The blond young man was arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. Although he hadn't seen the might of a master-level expert in the Embracing Elixir Realm before, he knew that an existence like his opponent could easily annihilate the entire Tiger Hunting Team.
"Beep beep —— beep beep ——"
Just as Duan Yue walked to the entrance of the guild hall, a fluffy little head quietly poked out from his arms, a pair of big watery eyes kept scanning around, and in the agile gaze, there was a cunning that was hard to imagine.
"Is... is it really a third-grade demon beast, Lingyin Fox?!"
"That's a third-level elite demon beast comparable to a first-rate master of the Five Elements!"
"As expected of a master-level expert, even a third-grade demon beast can be kept as a pet!"
A group of bounty hunters were thoroughly shocked. For them, the Innate Realm was already an existence they looked up to, let alone a higher-level Bodhi Cultivator!
"Stop messing around." Duan Yue pressed Ling Yin Hu back into his arms, quickening his pace. In an instant, he transformed into a hazy green shadow and vanished into the crimson sunset...
