With this question being thrown out, the scene was instantly quiet, and then it burst into an uproar.

  It's actually a hunt for a second-tier intermediate demon beast? This is at least equivalent to the strength of a third-tier True Martial Artist! Even an ordinary third-tier True Martial Artist would find it extremely difficult to hunt down a second-tier intermediate demon beast alone, and if they were unlucky enough to encounter a particularly powerful demon beast, even a fifth-tier True Martial Artist would struggle to deal with it.

  In previous years, even if it was a hunt for a demon beast, it was only a hunt for a second-level primary demon beast, and never so demanding. What's going on this year?

  Many inner door members furrowed their brows! In previous years, the number of people participating in the inner door selection was generally around twenty, but this year there were only eleven. Logically speaking, they should have relaxed the standards, so why...

  "Alright, let's begin! You must return before noon. Anyone who fails to do so or fails the task will lose their chance to proceed to the next round!" The Second Elder on stage said with an unquestionable tone.

  When they heard this sentence, the people below discussed it in an uproar, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the eleven people who participated in the inner gate selection this year.

  "Second-order intermediate demon beast?" Below, Wang Chen stood on the spot with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself.

  Look at the people around you, I'm afraid many of them will be in trouble this time! The requirements of Xīng Chén Zōng are indeed harsh, and the most direct way to determine a person's strength and combat ability.

  Unlike the usual sect's internal selection, which is either a martial arts competition or a hunt for demonic beasts, but there is no regulation on the level of the demonic beast, this is just a regulation on the number of demonic beasts!

  The assessment of Xīng Chén Zōng is fraught with danger, a second-tier intermediate demon beast; among the eleven people present, nearly half may be in mortal peril.

  The next moment, personnel development, eleven people rushed into the Valley of Yin Wind in the first time, racing against time.

  "Hey, bad guy, wait a minute!" The voice of Ke'er beside him made Wang Chen turn his head in confusion.

  "Beware of those guys robbing!" Ke Er whispered to Wang Chen with a puzzled look.

  "Plunder?" King Chen furrowed his brow in puzzlement.

  "The rules aren't to hunt a second-tier intermediate demon beast? This time, I estimate those guys will join forces. If they can't hunt it down, they might take the opportunity to plunder instead. Just be careful!" Ke'er explained impatiently, glaring at Wang Chen.

  "Got it!" he replied in a deep voice after reacting, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. Almost forgot about this matter.

  No wonder the Second Elder added a sentence that the method is unlimited, it seems that they do not oppose internal competition and plunder! This is the way of Xingchen Sect to cultivate personnel! The capable one will be in charge, no matter what method you use.

  ……………………

  In the valley of Yin Wind, cold wind blows gently, like a knife cutting through every inch of skin.

  At this moment, on a vacant lot, Wang Chen walked cautiously forward, vigilantly noticing his surroundings.

  This place can be considered the depths of Yinfeng Valley, where the lowest level of demonic beasts that appear are at least second-tier, and there are even high-level second-tier and third-tier demonic beasts, so one cannot afford to be careless.

  Every year, this one link of selecting and hunting demonic beasts results in many people losing their lives.

  "Kid, you're being targeted! Be careful!" A reminder from Ling Zhan echoed in his ear.

  At this moment, Wang Chen also furrowed his brow, looking at the withered reeds in front of him, from which a hint of extreme danger was faintly emanating. After entering the third stage of True Martial Arts, Wang Chen's perception had greatly increased! This might be the greatest benefit brought by the Emperor Dragon Seal, far surpassing that of an ordinary third-stage True Martial Artist, so Wang Chen also sensed this threatening presence in the first instant.

  "Monster!" This was Wang Chen's first reaction! It seemed that he had already been targeted by a hidden monster and became its prey.

  Feeling these circumstances, the true yuan in the body is surging and ready to fight at any time. Spiritual power is thoroughly released, paying attention to everything around.

  This can be considered as the first battle with a demon beast after entering the third stage of Zhenwu, and Wang Chen had some expectations in his heart.

  Although I had a good fight with the madman just yesterday and felt the power of the third-order Zhenwu, after all, it was a sparring match, and many times I was unable to exert my full strength. Now facing the demon beast is completely different.

  "Hiss……" Finally, when Wang Chen walked forward for more than ten meters and missed that figure, a dull sound suddenly came from the originally quiet reed bush, followed by a huge black shadow flashing towards him.

  "Finally arrived!" At the first moment, Wang Chen showed a hint of cold smile, turned his head, and launched a powerful punch, exerting all his strength to blast towards the black shadow.

  "Bang......" After a dull sound, a low-pitched howl came, and then a black shadow slammed heavily to the ground with a loud rumble.

  A slight numbness spread through his fist, and Wang Chen retreated three or four steps backward.

  "Silver Armor Snake!" Wang Chen's eyes widened as he took in the enormous creature before him, and he sucked in a cold breath. It was actually a second-stage high-level demon beast, the Silver Armor Snake!

  Silver Armor Snake, a second-tier high-level demon beast, with a silver armor as hard as rock, hence the name! Among the second-tier demon beasts, it is one of the most difficult to deal with. The strength of the Silver Armor Snake, a second-tier high-level demon beast, is equivalent to that of a ninth-tier True Martial Artist. However, beneath its terrifying defense lies an even more formidable opponent. Without at least seventh-tier True Martial Artist level strength, it's basically impossible to break through its silver armor and harm it in the slightest. Not to mention killing it!

  At the same time, Wang Chen was also puzzled! Damn it, shouldn't snakes and other magical beasts be hibernating in such a cold winter? How could they possibly appear here?

  No time to think more, only see the silver armor snake in front of him, about four meters long, as thick as a bowl mouth, after being punched by Wang Chen, it raised a cloud of dust on the ground again.

  After a brief pause, the upper body stood up straight, sticking out its dark tongue and making a low, muffled sound. However, this sound was extremely jarring to Wang Chen's ears.

  That dark tongue has already explained everything, this guy is highly toxic and will be in trouble once bitten.

  This is also why it claims to be the strongest among the second-order demon beasts! The defense as hard as a rock, and the terrifying poison contained within, are all deadly existences. Ordinary warriors would rather face third-order demon beasts than face this guy!

  After understanding everything, Wang Chen's scalp was numb and he couldn't believe that he had won the lottery all of a sudden and met such a good guy.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The silver-armored snake seemed to be making a hissing sound as it slowly began to move around Wang Chen, its eyes gleaming with a cold light. It had apparently already considered Wang Chen its prey.

  "Hoo...!" The next moment, without waiting for Wang Chen's reaction, it pounced again. Its massive body was incredibly agile at this instant, as if it had flown up like a cloud.

  "Eighteen Overlapping Wave Palms!" A loud shout, Wang Chen hastily executed the Eighteen Overlapping Wave Palms. The Ghost Steps under his feet were simultaneously executed in this instant, and his body began to flash strangely, he had to dodge that bloody big mouth, once hit, it would be certain death.

  The highly toxic venom of the silver armor snake is said to be a terrifying existence that can kill a person in one second.

  His body was like a serpent, his footsteps were strange and unpredictable, his figure flickered and fluttered, and at the extreme speed, he had already begun to produce afterimages.

  In the blink of an eye, eighteen layers of overlapping waves burst forth from the palms that intersected in mid-air, unleashing a force of over 8,000 pounds that exploded out in an instant. The sound was like thunder rumbling through the air, emitting a low, mournful howl.

  "Get lost!" As the silver-armored snake pounced on him, Wang Chen dodged its bloody maw and struck back with a fierce palm.

  "Bang......" A dull, muffled sound came, and Wang Chen only felt as if he had been hit on iron armor, a sharp pain. The recoil directly shook Wang Chen back three or four meters.

  The silver armor snake obviously did not expect that Wang Chen would have such a strong force, and let out a mournful cry as his body rolled backwards.

  At present, Wang Chen's control over his power has reached this level, and after displaying the eighteen-layered overlapping wave palm, the actual power that can be exerted is close to 5,000 catties. This is equivalent to the actual power that a sixth- or seventh-rank true martial artist can exert with a full-force attack.

  His arm was slightly numb, and in the air still lingered that pungent smell emitted from the Silver Scale Snake's mouth.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..." After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, the Silver Armor Snake stood up again and pounced towards Wang Chen with a hiss.

  Even if Wang Chen's actual strength reached the level of a Seventh-Order True Martial Artist, the damage he caused to the Silver-Armored Snake was extremely minor and almost negligible!

  Looking at the Silver Armor Snake's harmless appearance, Wang Chen was even more headache, that damned guy, his defense had reached this level.

  His feet moved swiftly and silently, his body flashing with movement, as Wang Chen began a guerrilla war.

  With the agility of a ghost, he walked around the Silver Armored Snake's body, occasionally bursting out with eighteen overlapping wave palms. Now, only eighteen overlapping wave palms can hurt this beast! The power of Bongshan Fist is not enough to be used.

  For a time, this empty space became lively, with dull rumbling sounds constantly, dust flying everywhere, and whistling sounds connecting into one piece.

  One man and one snake fought to the death, with danger lurking everywhere! The silver armor snake's sharpness exceeded Wang Chen's expectations, and even under the ghost step, there were several close calls.

  The clothes on his body were instantly smoked and disappeared wherever the toxic liquid was sprayed. Seeing this, Wang Chen's scalp felt numb, and if he had been sprayed with such a toxic liquid, the consequences would be disastrous.

  The silver armor snake's mouth continuously dripped with a thread of venom, as if it were a spoiled child, flowing downwards.

  The ground, wherever the toxic liquid invaded, instantly turned into thick black smoke, with swirling fog, leaving behind a series of pits and craters, all vegetation was melted and dispersed!

  The eighteen-layered wave palm was continuously unleashed, but it only left some superficial wounds on the Silver Armor Snake. This made Wang Chen secretly despair. At this rate, not to mention killing the beast, his own life would probably be lost here! The eighteen-layered wave palm was fundamentally unable to kill this guy! On the contrary, it made Wang Chen's hands almost numb and lose their sensation.

  Perhaps it's only Qing Guangbao who can play a role now. But can this beast give itself such an opportunity? That sharp movement won't give itself any chance to breathe, will it? Thinking of this, Wang Chen furrowed his brow.

  "Bang......" A dull sound came, and Wang Chen only felt that his whole body seemed to be disintegrating, and then he flew out backwards.

  Just at that moment of distraction, the Silver Armored Snake's tail suddenly swept out, launching an extremely sudden attack. The enormous force directly sent Wang Chen flying out.
