Three days later, in the Heaven's Danger Canyon, an imposing, middle-aged man with a square face spoke with a frown on his face.
"Party leader, how about we take the initiative to contact him?" Someone standing beside the man suggested.
"Do you want him to be exposed?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged square-faced man's face sank.
If he could contact them on his own, he would have done so a long time ago.
Logically speaking, according to the agreement, they would have to report it every two days. This way, the Heaven's Danger Canyon would know how far away their target was from the canyon.
However, it had already been over a day. Although this sort of situation was rare, it was not something that had never happened before.
If they contacted it on their own, the energy waves emitted by the communication stone might be exposed. If it was exposed, then their mission this time might fail.
That was why even though the time they had agreed upon had already passed, no one took the initiative to contact them because they were afraid of ruining a major event.
In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed but the expected news still hadn't arrived.
"Something is not right. It's been five days and it has already surpassed the limit of the last four days. Could it be that something has really happened?" The middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice.
However, even if he was suspicious, he didn't dare to order others to send a message just to be safe.
No matter what, the square-faced, middle-aged man was extremely confident towards his precious Secret Profound Bead. With this treasure, even if one maintained their distance, Profound Mansion Stage Expert would not be able to detect it, this was something that he had personally tested.
Because of his confidence in his treasure, the square-faced middle-aged man decided to wait.
This wait lasted for another five days.
"Men, send a message to Scorpion and ask what the hell is he doing. If he's still panting, then hurry up and reply." The middle-aged man with a square face said in a stern voice.
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
"Yes." One of them acknowledged and immediately began transmitting messages.
However, as time passed, there was still no message coming back.
"Party leader, did something happen to the scorpion?" The young man holding the message stone guessed.
"Something happened?"
Hearing those two words, the square-faced middle-aged man frowned, after all, his precious Secret Profound Bead was still on him, if something happened to him, he might lose it too.
"He should be fine. I gave him the one and only flying boat. If something really happens to him, he will definitely be able to escape with the help of this flying boat." The middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice.
Of course, the message had yet to be sent. This caused the man to feel uneasy.
"You guys wait here. Prepare to fight at any time. I'll go check on the situation." The middle-aged man ordered.
Since he really couldn't wait any longer, this man naturally had to go personally and take a look.
And with his Peak Profound Mansion Stage, that speed was naturally extremely fast. As long as he advanced at full speed, it wouldn't take long.
That was why, after he gave the order, he disappeared from this Heaven's Danger Canyon in a flash.
"Heavenly Waterfall Sword Style!"
When the Blade Awards Hunting Guild's leader was rushing towards the Land Without Silence, Ye Xiu and the rest were halfway there after a while.
After walking halfway in ten days, he would at most have ten more days to reach the Nine Profound Sect. And if he counted like this, there was still about half a month until the official competition.
Since they still had half a way left, there was no rush to go. Since they just so happened to encounter a Fifth Level Profound Beast at this time, then Ye Xiu and the other two would naturally choose to move their muscles and bones.
Because it was an activity, the three did not go all out to fight. Ye Xiu merely opened the first door, and did not open all three.
Although the aftereffects of opening the three doors were slightly less, it was still too imposing, if it was a solo battle, then opening the three gates was essential, if not, with Ye Xiu's cultivation, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Fifth Level Profound Beast.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
When Ye Xiu slashed his sword, Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang also used their own mystical techniques and sword techniques.
"Hmm?"
But other than that one strike from Ye Xiu, the other two swords missed.
"Again!"
Seeing that their two swords had missed, Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang slashed out once again.
But for some reason, their two swords were once again dodged by the Profound Beast.
This Fifth Level Profound Beast was a nimble and agile Profound Beast, thus it could easily dodge Xu Zifeng's and Yan Xiang's attacks with its speed.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that their second strike also missed, both Xu Zifeng and Xu Zifeng frowned.
"Kill!"
Right at this time, Ye Xiu slashed at the Profound Beast alone.
"Bam!"
When the sound of a strike rang out, the sword strike Ye Xiu slashed out accurately landed on the Profound Beast's body.
Of course, because of Ye Xiu's cultivation level and the fact that he was holding a Broken Sword, the defense of the Fifth Level Profound Beast did not break, and only a shallow mark remained on his body.
Whether it was Xu Zifeng or Yan Xiang, both of them thought that Ye Xiu's attack power was not strong enough, so the Profound Beast did not bother to dodge.
However, in the eyes of Ling Zhen and Long Yazi, the way of the sword was extremely special, as if the Profound Beast knew where it would hide.
The Sword Qi that Ye Xiu slashed out was not aimed at the Profound Beast, but at the other party. In other words, if the Profound Beast stood still in its original position, then Ye Xiu's attack would not land on its body.
But it had to move, and was even successfully hit, so it was not Ye Xiu's sword qi that struck the other side, but the other side ran into Ye Xiu's attack range.
Unlike Ye Xiu, both Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang aimed at the Profound Beast's body before slashing out with their swords.
Aiming ahead, unless the Profound Beast could not move and could only stand in place to be hit, then it would not be able to attack if it moved slightly.
If the attack couldn't be launched, then no matter how powerful it was, it was useless.
Of course, if the power of the attack was not enough, even if it hit, it would be useless, just like Ye Xiu's attack.
"Chop!"
Because he was not able to hit the Profound Beast, Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang started to attack with all their might.
Of course, if they went all out and worked together, once the opponent's escape route was blocked, the advantage in agility would be limited.
As a result, this Profound Beast began to have traces of blood on its body.
Seeing Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang's attacks, he silently shook his head, and then retracted the Broken Sword.
Just like this, under the full force of and Yan Xiang's attacks, the Profound Beast was naturally covered with wounds, and was on the verge of death.
"Tsk, do you really think we can't hit you?"
Looking at the Profound Beast that had completely lost all ability to fight, Yan Xiang said indifferently.
Before, they hadn't gone all out, which was why they had missed every single strike. But now that they were serious, their attack speed and everything else had greatly increased.
Furthermore, the two of them had joined hands and sealed off the retreat path of the Profound Beast, which was why he was able to defeat them.
"Yan Xiang, come over here for a bit!"
When Yan Xiang put away the Profound Artifact Sword in his hand, Ling Zhen's voice had already reached their ears.
"Zifeng, come here too!"
At the same time, Long Yazi called out to Xu Zifeng.
Whether it was Yan Xiang or Xu Zifeng, both of them obediently walked over after hearing the cry.
As for the Profound Beast that was covered with wounds made from swords, its Qi was disappearing bit by bit.
There was no helping it. The wound was too heavy, and too much blood flowed. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to survive.
"Master!"
"Master!"
When Yan Xiang and Xu Zifeng walked in front of Ling Zhen and Long Yazi, the two of them called out at the same time.
"Do you have any self-evaluation about the battle just now?" Ling Zhen looked at Yan Xiang and asked.
"Zi Feng, what do you think about your performance just now? If you get a perfect score, how many points will you give yourself? " Long Yazi asked Xu Zifeng.
"This ?"
After hearing the two of them ask about it, both Yan Xiang and Xu Zifeng were slightly stunned.
"Grand master, I did not use my full strength in the beginning, so I missed both attacks. I probably underestimated my opponent too much, and after I did my best, my sword did not miss. Although there were some mistakes, it's still pretty good in the end." Yan Xiang analyzed.
"Master, I scored eight points for my performance just now. The other two points were due to my carelessness, causing the first two sword strikes to miss." Xu Zifeng evaluated himself.
"Ye Xiu, if it was you, how many points would you give them for their previous performance?" After the two of them evaluated themselves, Ling Zhen asked Ye Xiu.
This was because Ye Xiu had stopped when Yan Xiang and Xu Zifeng were both going all out, and had even silently shook his head as if he was extremely disappointed.
Actually, in their eyes, Yan Xiang and Xu Zifeng's previous performance was not bad. It was just that the first two slashes were off target, but that was because they were not serious.
Once he got serious, killing a Fifth Level Profound Beast would be easy.
"Sovereign, if the perfect score is 10 points, I'll give them two five points." Ye Xiu replied.
"Five points?"
Whether it was Xu Zifeng or Yan Xiang, both of them frowned slightly when they heard the mark.
A perfect score of ten minutes, that was a failure. This evaluation was not what Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang wanted.
"Oh, it's the two of you that add up to five points."
Just as Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang were about to ask, Ye Xiu added.
"What!"
Xu Zifeng and Yan Xiang's face sunk. They were already dissatisfied with the five points of evaluation, but they did not expect Ye Xiu to add another sentence.
If he added in this sentence, then their performance just now was only 2.5 points. This was a little too low.
