Chapter 138: Trap
dejected, but he still waved his hand to signal everyone to prepare for rest.Half an hour later, the lights of the wine shop went out again. Han Sanqian and his companions either slept peacefully or l...A battle that was just raging fiercely and crazily, has now subsided in the blink of an eye.
The five members of the Azure Dragon Squad gathered together.
"Linglong, are you alright" Canglong asked.
As the only one in the team who is skilled at spiritual awareness, Linglong's importance is self-evident.
"It's nothing," Linglong shook her head, but her gaze shifted to Su Xin, "Jian Yi, thank you."
"Don't be so polite," Su Xin smiled.
"Jianyi, brother, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable" Canglong said in surprise.
The magical hammer beside him, and Qian Xing as well, were both staring at Su Xin, their eyes filled with a hint of shock.
After seeing Su Xin's attack, his sword easily repelled three powerful fighters. They realized that Su Xin possessed formidable combat ability, ranking second only to their captain, Azure Dragon, in their squad.
Just now, in the blink of an eye, Su Xin had killed two opponents.
That young man in the silver robe aside, that short old man is a formidable figure. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Second Step Realm, and he was even able to suppress Linglong step by step, pushing her into a desperate situation. His strength is undeniable.
Kesu trusted, with a single sword strike, severely injured the short old man.
With such strength, even compared to Captain Azure Dragon, he's probably not far behind.
"To reach such power in just one step to the peak of cultivation, Sword One Brothers, could you be a disciple of some transcendent powerhouse Or perhaps, you are a disciple of an ancient being from Mount Jiusheng" Qian Xing said with a playful tone.
Su Xin smiled, but did not explain further.
"Alright, let's leave here first and find a place to recover our spiritual energy. That person who used poison just now, although the poison mist wasn't particularly powerful, it really did deplete our spiritual energy," Canglong said.
Five people quickly left here.
But hundreds of miles away from that battlefield, the remaining four members of the squad came to a stop.
“Unexpectedly, within this five-person strong team, besides one person possessing strength close to the third step, capable of single-handedly holding back my three, there's also a terrifying sword master whose cultivation is only at the peak of the first step!”
These four people's faces were extremely ugly.
They were originally a squad of seven, all with peak Second Step combat strength. On the outskirts of the Shifting Sands Desolate Region, they were absolutely the most elite and powerful squad. They were previously full of vigor, but this time they fell flat on their faces.
"With a single sword strike, he could severely wound a peak Second Step expert. That swordsman, judging solely by his strength, was likely close to the Third Step."
"It's no surprise that he should be a super genius carefully cultivated at great cost by those sects, or perhaps the disciple of a powerful figure within Jiusheng Mountain. This is the only way he could possess such strength when reaching the Nirvana realm."
Such a super genius, even within the Nine Saints Mountain, is rare. This time, we actually encountered one. It's really unlucky.
The four survivors sighed with regret, but could only blame their bad luck.
……
On a deserted wasteland, the Canglong Squad of five rested for a full half hour before they could completely purge the poison mist from their bodies and recover to peak condition.
Afterwards, the five continued to wander on the outskirts of the Shifting Sands Desert.
Along the way, Su Xin also took the time to ask Linglong about how to cultivate one's spiritual consciousness.
And according to Linglong, for the Nirvana realm, to improve one's spiritual awareness, it's best to have a spiritual awareness practice method to cultivate. This is the most important.
However, the mental cultivation techniques suitable for Nirvana realm are extremely precious and rare. Ordinary people find it very difficult to obtain them.
Like Linglong's cultivation method, in her sect it was definitely one of the most precious cultivation methods, and throughout the entire sect, there weren't many people qualified to cultivate it.
However, within the battle merit vault of Jiusheng Mountain, there is indeed a mystical consciousness technique available for exchange, but the required battle merits are exorbitant.
If there is no spiritual consciousness method, then to improve spiritual consciousness, one can only slowly accumulate it or rely on external forces to constantly stimulate it.
For example, the Abyssal Realm that Su Xin wants to go to is a place that relies on external stimuli to greatly enhance spiritual awareness.
"It seems that after I break through to the Nirvana realm, I have to find a way to exchange for a suitable spiritual consciousness technique from the War Merit Treasury," Su Xin secretly thought.
As his skills continued to improve, he gradually came to understand the importance of spiritual awareness for a martial artist.
The reason he hasn't been able to break through to the Nirvana Realm now is that his spiritual consciousness is lacking in some aspects. Even if he breaks through to the Nirvana Realm in the future, if he wants to go further and become stronger, his spiritual consciousness also needs to keep up.
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed again.
Found him.
As soon as Linglong spoke, the other members of the Azure Dragon Squad immediately turned to look at her.
Linglong's complexion was somewhat strange. "This time, I only encountered two people, and both of them had weak auras. They looked like they had just gone through a great battle."
"Only two of them And they've just gone through a big battle" Several members of the Canglong Squad laughed.
"Charge directly to the Azure Dragon. Order given."
Although only two of them, the military merit gained from killing them wouldn't be much, but the treasures in their hands wouldn't be few.
The Azure Dragon Squad immediately charged forward, and in just a short moment, they saw two figures whose auras were weaker and more disheveled within their sight.
Even when they got closer, they couldn't sense any aura of the medal from each other.
"Haha, they're from the opposing side."
The few members of the Azure Dragon Squad all brightened their eyes.
And seeing the five members of the Azure Dragon squad approaching, the two men didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately chose to flee. Moreover, the two were quite fast, leaving the Azure Dragon squad no choice but to chase after them, slowly closing the distance between them.
But the pursuit did not last long.
"No!" Linglong's delicate brows furrowed abruptly, "With us as the center, within a hundred-mile radius, in three directions, there are powerful squads approaching us."
"What"
The members of the Azure Dragon Squad were all astonished.
"Oh no, it's a trap!"
Azure Dragon immediately understood, "Those two were bait, retreat quickly!"
Five people immediately changed direction, wanting to evacuate.
...Within a radius of a hundred miles, more than ten strong individuals were encircling the Azure Dragon Squad from three directions.
In one direction, the leading cold and stern woman's eyes narrowed. "This prey is much 'fatter' than the four-person squad from last time. Not only are there four experts at the peak of the second step, but there's even a rare expert at the first step of Nirvana!"
Even the cold woman's lips curved into a sinister smile.
On the Qingxuan battlefield, a one-step Nirvana realm is much rarer than a two-step Nirvana realm. Importantly, many of these one-step Nirvana realms who dare to come to the battlefield are from influential backgrounds. Killing them could yield more benefits than killing several two-step peak Nirvana realms.
So, in her eyes, Su Xin's attractiveness was significantly greater than that of the other four members of the Azure Dragon Squad.
"Huh"
The sinister old man standing next to the cold woman suddenly frowned. "Among that squad, someone skilled in mental awareness has sensed our presence and started to flee."
"Found" The cold woman's eyes narrowed. "Absolutely can't let them get away, Mr. Ku, it's up to you."
"Give me a nod of agreement, and my vast spiritual consciousness will spread out. My awareness will immediately contact other powerful individuals in different directions and begin to coordinate them."
The Canglong Squad of five had already retreated at the first opportunity, but at this time...
"Bad, the other party has a strong psychic, and their psychic abilities are even stronger than mine. They can even communicate through telepathy and mobilize others to surround us from all directions. No matter which way we run, they will intercept us immediately. We can't escape!" Linglong exclaimed angrily.
"Can't escape" The Canglong Squad was startled.
"Can't escape, then kill!" A glint of ferocity flashed in Canglong's eyes, "Kill those two behind first."
Boom!
The Azure Dragon moved like a bolt of lightning, charging towards the two who had initially served as bait.
These two, having followed the Azure Dragon Squad's retreat all the way, now saw the Azure Dragon charging towards them…
"Haha, I'm going crazy!"
The two of them laughed and, instead of choosing to go up to meet the others, immediately retreated. At the same time, a powerful array formation power spread throughout the surrounding void, further compressing the space for the Azure Dragon Squad to escape.
"Damn it!" Cang Long gritted his teeth angrily.
And at this time, the powerful figures who had swept in from three different directions around them had already come into the sight of the Canglong Squad.
With two individuals acting as bait, a total of fifteen experts were present, thirteen of whom were at the peak of the second step.
"That's... the Bone King!"
The Azure Dragon then turned its gaze to a thin man who had appeared in its line of sight.
He has spent years leading expeditions through the Shifting Sands Desert, clashing with many powerful warriors of rival factions at the second step of Nirvana. He also has some understanding of certain formidable peak-second-step masters from opposing forces.
But the man he was looking at now, a thin fellow called Gu Wang, he had met before and even fought him.
In that battle, one-on-one, he didn't gain any advantage over the Bone King. The Bone King's strength was clearly no weaker than his.
Even if the Bone King alone could stop him, there are still fourteen other powerful individuals. Their team only has four members. Even if 'Sword One' is exceptionally strong, it's impossible to simultaneously contend with so many powerhouses.
Kenichi, Demon Hammer, Qianxing, and Linglong!
"We have to fight hard in this battle!"
The Azure Dragon roared with fury.
"Kill!" Both the Demon Hammer and Qian Xing's eyes were filled with madness.
Those who dare to fight on the battlefield naturally anticipate facing such situations.
Only Su Xin remained, his expression still surprisingly calm.
...and as more and more powerful figures from the surrounding areas gradually approached....
"It's him!"
The Bone King also recognized Azure Dragon, and he couldn't help but shout: "The leader of the opposing team is extremely powerful, definitely not weaker than me. Hong Chou, don't be complacent, use all your strength, otherwise, it's very likely that they will escape, or even kill a few of us!"
Upon hearing this, the cold woman narrowed her eyes, "Since there's someone whose strength rivals that of a Bone King, they absolutely can't be allowed to escape. White Wolf, use that move!"
The one called "White Wolf" was the powerful spellcaster among the two who had been used as bait. Hearing the cold woman's order, this "White Wolf" moved his mind, and instantly, his formation began to sweep across the area, layers of mist swirling, obscuring people's vision.
And within this layer of mist, a strange azure thunder pearl radiating an aura of destruction was silently delivered to the members of the Azure Dragon Squad.
"What is this" Su Xin's eyes narrowed, the first to notice.
"Yin Lei Zhu"
The Azure Dragon's expression changed drastically, and he let out a sharp shout, "Be careful!"
……erful And they're teaming up This is too much!"These talented individuals who were initially attracted but ultimately eliminated by Su Xin and Duan Yunfeng were very unwilling, but they had no way to...
