Chapter 1441: First Hunt for the Immortal

The True Immortal was furious, causing the rain to become more violent.

The water drops penetrated the curtains, like layers of curtains, dividing the battlefield into pieces.

In the heavy rain, Li Fan saw through the gaps that more than a dozen of the cultivators who seized this critical opportunity to besiege the True Immortal could not withstand the huge rain pressure and were crushed into powder in an instant. Then the powder of the bones, combined with the rain, squirmed and turned into "Rain Man"!

They took advantage of the heavy rain everywhere in the battlefield and attacked Li Fan from all directions in an instant.

Li Fan pretended to change his expression drastically, holding an umbrella, his body turned into a ray of light, and quickly escaped from the encirclement. The speed was even faster than the falling rain!

It is: the heavy rain passes through the body, and not a drop of it touches the body.

Escaped to a distant, temporarily safe place. Li Fan looked at the True Immortal who was still staring at him, sneered, and pointed again: "Shave your hair!"

The voice seemed to have a strange magic. It made everyone present stiffen slightly. The siege action paused.

The True Immortal's eyes were wide open. He roared again.

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you..."

The resentment was overwhelming and the anger was boiling.

The heavy rain that originally fell evenly everywhere seemed to be attracted by some force at this moment. Like a waterspout, it all rushed towards Li Fan with a roar.

But the True Immortal's revenge could not stop the Dao Network command that Li Fan had already issued.

The invisible Dao Network wave instantly crossed the battlefield and descended on the True Immortal's body again. It was like countless scissors were trimming the True Immortal's hair and beard at the same time. As the smashed cover was slowly removed, the True Immortal finally revealed his true face.

Even though his face was a little thin, he could still be seen to be handsome. But his body was covered with huge scars that were so deep that the bones could be seen and could not be healed. The flesh and blood kept wriggling, but there was always an inexplicable force that prevented them from growing.

The remaining besieging monks, in sync, all used their magic and supernatural powers to attack these wounds.

The True Immortal screamed in response.

Not far away, Li Fan could no longer cope with the waterspouts in the sky with just an umbrella. Heavy rain fell from all directions, eroding Li Fan's body and mind. The sound coming from his ears was suppressed by the sound of rain. The vision in front of him was also covered by dense rain curtains.

Even with a layer of protective raincoat, Li Fan still slowly felt that he was being cut off from the world around him.

Just like the dust in the world, it was gradually washed away by this heavy rain!

"Is this the way of [rain]..."

"If I don't do something, I'm afraid I will disappear from the world completely. All traces of what once existed will no longer exist, like mud stains washed away by rain."

"Even if bound by the Dao Net, this True Immortal can still burst out such magical powers. It seems that he was definitely not a weakling in his prime!"

Li Fan was in the rain, feeling the magical powers of the Great Dao up close, and he had a lot of insights.

At the same time, along with the various spiritual lights that emerged in his mind. Another rain was born around him. The direction of the raindrops falling was completely opposite to that of the True Immortal. As the raindrops collided with each other, the wind and rain around Li Fan suddenly became weaker.

Even if the True Immortal's magical powers could not be completely offset, the protection of the raincoat could ensure safety.

Li Fan continued to feel the way of rain around him, and looked at the True Immortal who was facing the siege of the cultivators not far away, and a sense of vigilance suddenly surged in his heart.

"It's just taking off the armor and clothes, and being naked."

"Compared to being captured by a mortal, this kind of humiliation is not worth mentioning. This golden armor immortal is too unbearable. He yelled and almost lost his mind..."

"He doesn't look like a person who can comprehend such magical powers at all."

"No!"

Li Fan's heart trembled, and he reacted immediately.

Looking at the scene, those golden armors and beards that he had previously shaved off with the "removing armor and shaving hair" technique. Unexpectedly, they disappeared without a trace!

"The loss of composure is just a bait, just to attract everyone's attention. The purpose is to take the opportunity to escape when everyone ignores it."

Li Fan's thoughts turned rapidly, and he was about to connect to the Taoist network here and activate the magical power of [Detention].

But then he thought, this is not a real battlefield for fighting immortals. It is just a test for the Shuoxinghai Administrative Council to recruit immortal hunters.

With so many people watching, could it be possible that a mere True Immortal could escape?

"It must be just an extra test. If I point it out, it will definitely attract extra attention from the Governing Council. But if I pretend not to know..."

Li Fan hesitated for only a moment, but still made a special decision to reveal himself.

He shouted in the air: "Everyone be careful, don't let him sneak away!"

Then he quickly glanced around, while chanting a solemn voice: "Detain!"

The Dao network revealed in the battlefield seemed to be blown by a gust of wind. It rustled. The Dao strings intertwined horizontally and vertically became clearer.

In the slight tremor, it emitted a dazzling silver light. The golden armor and beards that had already fled to the edge of the battlefield were all locked and bound for a while!

Buzz!

The Dao strings were shaking constantly, as if the True Immortal was struggling fiercely.

At this moment, the cultivators on the battlefield just woke up from their dreams. Some continued to attack the body of the True Immortal, while others surrounded him with golden armor and beards.

The battle situation was clear, and the True Immortal had completely lost the chance to turn the tables. He was about to die in front of this group of ants...

A ray of light flashed, and the dying True Immortal disappeared in front of everyone.

It was not that he still escaped, but that the second test was over.

Li Fan felt the strange looks from the surrounding cultivators from time to time, and just smiled.

"The third test..."

"Live!"

The cold voice had not yet ended, and the Dao network that had been acting as a background board before was actually directly covered on the head. It was like the sky was falling, and the Dao string stretched across, like a huge rock and broken wall.

In this sudden disaster, many cultivators died on the spot. It seemed that they were not teleported away before dying, but really died like this!

The Dao network that could be relied on turned into a weapon for committing crimes. The cultivators participating in the test can only rely on their own skills to avoid this inexplicable disaster.

But...

The cultivators of Shuoxinghai, especially those who came to participate in the selection of immortal hunters, have almost all their cultivation strength in Daoyuan symbols and Dao network instructions. Without the blessing of the Dao Network, the means they can use are pitifully few.

How can they survive in such a disaster?

Except for the best of the major forces, the rest of the people died on the spot in a short time.

The rest of the people were just struggling in the face of the catastrophic disaster of the Dao Network. As the collapse of the Dao Network became more and more serious, there were fewer and fewer places for them to hide.

Everyone seemed to be gradually forced into a dead end.

Li Fan relied on his own light escape technique and was quite comfortable. However, looking at the cruel selection situation in front of him, there were only sixteen people left, including himself, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt in his heart.

"The previous immortal hunting test was not so strict. Could it be that there was a big change in the Shuoxing Sea recently?"

And the severity of this assessment has obviously exceeded the expectations of everyone present. They no longer have the previous calmness on their faces. Instead, they are in an uncontrollable panic.

All means are used to fight for life in this doomsday scene.

"Ah!"

Another person was crushed to death by the falling Dao string.

It was right in front of Li Fan. His soul was annihilated, turned into a light spot, and merged into the Dao network.

However, just this glance made Li Fan discover the clue.

Li Fan witnessed countless lives being annihilated. And the "death" that happened at this moment seemed to be different from the real death of the cultivator.

With a thought in his mind, Li Fan had already understood.

"So that's it. This test looks like a test, but it is actually a test of death. Those who can survive the collapse of the Dao network without borrowing the power of the Dao network must have their own cultivation and attainments, and must reach the realm of godly skills. The cultivators of Shuoxinghai, everything they learned since childhood, all belong to the Dao network. There is almost no possibility of completing the test..."

"If someone can hold on to the end, I'm afraid it's not a gangster lurking in the outside world!"

"If you die, you can pass the test. If you survive to the end, I'm afraid you will be arrested and tortured."

While thinking, Li Fan already understood the beauty of this test.

"Of course, if they die too quickly, it may not work. The first group of people should have really died. However, when the disaster came, they had no reaction ability at all. They deserved to die. Only the timing of death was neither too early nor too late. Only then could they be selected." Li Fan tried to figure out the meaning of the test from the perspective of the question setter rather than the examinee. Naturally, he soon understood the truth.

So slowly, he pretended to be incapable and fell into a precarious situation. It must be said that even if the truth of this test could be guessed, it would be difficult for ordinary people to give up resistance and die calmly in the face of the collapsing Dao Net string.

There is great terror between life and death.

And the scene of this Dao Net crushing can arouse the instinctive resistance of survival in people's hearts.

Even for Li Fan, who has been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years and has survived countless times, when he realized that the silver-white Dao Net string was about to crush him, he still almost couldn't help but break free and escape from its falling range.

Fortunately, he was able to hold it back.

He let the Dao string crush him to pieces.

His sight was instantly filled with endless silver light.

Li Fan's mind seemed to have lost consciousness.

In the midst of ignorance and unconsciousness, Li Fan vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a huge thought sweeping through his mind.

Under the instinctive alertness, Li Fan's mind was quiet and returned to infinite tranquility. In an instant, relying on the micro-Dao network hidden in his own mind, he conveniently placed Ma Tiande's life memory on the surface.

The micro-Dao network and the Dao network are essentially the imprints of the Great Dao, and there is no difference. At this moment, it was perfectly integrated, even the huge thought did not notice it after a slight gaze.

The sense of urgency of being stared at by the terrifying monster in the shadow disappeared, and Li Fan "resurrected from the dead" and restored his body and consciousness.

At this moment, it was no longer the previous test space, but came to a circular enclave floating in the void. Outside the enclave, many figures stood. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they were all staring at the remaining participants in the field, pointing, talking and laughing. But they had no ill intentions.

Li Fan glanced around.

He found that the other survivors seemed to have not recovered from their shock and were a little confused.

From time to time, there were still figures flashing, and then appeared in the circular enclave.

It wasn't until half a cup of tea had passed that all the people had arrived. The announcement sounded again. But this time, it was not as cold and serious as before.

Instead, it was a little gentle.

"The last try, fight!"

Li Fan understood clearly in his heart: "I'm afraid that when we get here, we have completed the test. The so-called competition is more like setting a ranking."

I have to say that those who can survive this round are definitely among Shuo Xinghai’s geniuses.

Although he hadn't recovered yet, after hearing the order, he instinctively launched a surprise attack on the "enemies" around him.

Li Fan was naturally attacked.

His body is like lightning, and he can easily dodge all attacks.

At the same time, he yelled "Remove Armor" angrily!

The monks who were targeting Li Fan all froze slightly and retreated back in unison.

All the smart people present understood that this last attempt was just a formality. In a competition, it's fine if you lose.

Those around him who were watching the battle were obviously colleagues of the Immortal Hunter. If someone takes off your clothes, you will be naked. How will we get along with each other in the future?

Ever since, under the threat of "disarming", everyone had a tacit understanding and did not choose Li Fan as their opponent. He just fired some sneak attacks from time to time, but Li Fan easily dodged them all.

This competition will end at the click of a button.

It didn't take long for it to become clear.

Above the circular enclave, a light curtain lowered. The names of all the people present are listed.

From top to bottom, there are twenty-eight people in total.

Comprehensive ranking based on performance in four tests.

Ma Tiande’s name ranked fifth.

"It should be that the score was increased during the second trial, during the roundup of the True Immortal."

Li Fan looked at the person ranked first on the list. The eyes of everyone in the field were, in all likelihood, focused on him.

It was the monk who had used the magical power of wind to blow back the rain of true immortals.

His surname is Dao and his given name is Yuan.

He has a slender figure and deep eyes. Facing the crowd's onlookers, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and gestured with his hands.

Recalling the information he had read before, Li Fan remembered the origin of this person.

From Shuo Xinghai, Wandao Palace.

Since Wandao Palace dares to take Tao as its name, it naturally has its confidence.

They were originally a group of surviving forces from other shattered star seas, but they suddenly gained a foothold under the covetousness of many parties.

It is said that he also made an extremely outstanding contribution to the establishment of the Taoist network. Now it is an existence that can be compared with Sword Domain and Sword Island.

"Since you have joined the [Immortal Hunting], you must follow orders from now on."

"Those who disobey orders will be punished without mercy."

"Next, is the first task you need to face."

Everyone present had a somewhat subtle expression after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, after joining Xian Shou, he would have to perform tasks without receiving any training.

"Half a day ago, there was a true immortal who was attracted by the [immortal bait] we set up. He came across the Annihilation Land and entered the area covered by the Dao Net."

"It's not far from Shuo Xinghai."

"This true immortal was seriously injured, and the way he cultivated is [Barbarian]. It is suitable to serve as your first hunting training..."

A figure walked out from the audience outside the circular enclave.

Although his body is short, he is full of muscles. Wearing a bloody short coat, he carried a black stone pillar on his shoulders. It looks weird.

"I hope your first hunt will be a success!" The man in blood-clothed grinned ferociously and patted the stone pillar on his shoulder.
