644 Schemes! (1/2)
”There's no counter!” Chu Qi Hun shook his head firmly. ”My late master spent hundreds of years on this, but it was still impossible to unravel in the end. However, it was not a completely fruitless attempt. As he studied the movement technique of the strange races, he managed to incorporate many of the principles of their techniques into our Xuan techniques, finally devising a unique cultivation technique. When paired with the complementary movement techniques, this cultivation technique would produce an effect similar to the strange races' Stealth Kills technique. The cultivation technique I'm using right now is precisely this. Venerable Mei is right in thinking that this is related to the War for Seizing the Heavens because this technique was indeed created from the strange races' Stealth Kills technique!”
”So that's how it is!” Mei Xue Yan sighed and calmed her emotions before opening her mouth. ”Your teacher was truly a respectable senior. His ability was not hidden because of his disability; and he still used his skills to benefit the later generations as much as he could.”
Just as the few of them were chatting joyfully, a burst of light suddenly flashed across their heads. More than a dozen zhang above the ground, the several tens of zhang of snow was forcefully dug away by someone, revealing the entrance of this manmade cave!
The four of them looked up with shock and Chu Qi Hun even stood rapidly with a shua sound.
”Relax, relax; they cannot come down here. If they dare to come down, that will be more fun.” Jun Mo Xie snorted coldly. ”To think that there are a few among the ones who came who have brains this time. How surprising. However, did you really that it would be this simple?”
Young Master Jun smiled suavely as a milky white mist surged out of his body. Then, he snorted coldly. ”Sink!”
Before the shocked gazes of Chu Qi Hun and Dongfang Wen Xin, the ground beneath them suddenly sank downward. This time was very different than the other time. The last time, Jun Mo Xie was only looking for a hiding place, but his hiding place that was over a dozen zhang beneath the ground was actually discovered, causing Jun Mo Xie to become angry.
This time, he directly traveled downward by several tens of zhang. In that moment, even Chu Qi Hun felt a misconception as if he were dreaming. Mei Xue Yan directly grabbed Dongfang Wen Xin at the beginning of the descent, lifting her feet off the ground to lesson the falling sensation.
Before this, Chu Qi Hun had assumed that this hole had been prepared by Jun Mo Xie. Only now did he realize that this was not the case at all. It was completely created at the last minute! On top of that, Jun Mo Xie could make the ground sink further if he wished. This kind of power that had seemingly no restrictions was incredibly powerful! Even the former Supreme Assassin could barely wrap his head around the idea!
There was actually such a mystical ability in the world!
Was it some kind of supreme power?
”I'm afraid that the bunch that'll come this time is not ordinary. They're not that easy to handle. There will most likely be a large battle later on.” Jun Mo Xie said to Mei Xue Yan as he controlled their descent. ”There are two powerful auras on the surface; even compared to you, they're not much inferior. But no matter what happens, you must not make a move. Protecting mother is your only mission. You can leave everything else to the two of us to settle!”
”Those are Venerable level experts! Are the two of you capable of dealing with them?” Mei Xue Yan glared at him and pouted. ”You better not act tough! If I took action, there's at least a higher chance of success!”
”Relax, in this kind of environment, even if a deity came down from the heavens, then one would still die if one came, and two would die if they came in a pair!” Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and snorted.
”Well said! If you're talking about sneak attacks, apart from the two of us, the third one probably hasn't even come out from his mother's womb yet!” Chu Qi Hun laughed aloud, his tone similarly filled with confidence.
In the period they were underground, Jun Mo Xie had used his skills and helped him recover his Xuan energy and body to its peak state. Right now, his confidence was also bursting through the roof!
In the darkness of the earth, the two Assassin Kings set out together!
But from the surface, there didn't seem to be any movements at all; it was still perfectly calm!
”What should we do now?” Zi Jing Hong peered uncertainly into the dark hole. A strange, ghostly draft seemed to be rising out of it. He swallowed nervously and continued. ”Why don't we directly fill this hole and bury them alive? That would save us a lot of trouble.”
”Hur hur, Lord Zi, how do you know if there are no other outlets down there? Or even… a direct path that leads out of this valley? Bury them? This suggestion of yours has truly caused this old man to chuckle a little.” Zhen Ci Bei laughed coldly as he looked at Zi Jing Hong.
Zi Jing Hong's face turned red and he could not say anything.
”Send some people down to take a look, two groups at a time! The first group will have three people in a horn formation, and the second group will be in a circular formation. The two groups will stay five zhang apart from each other, watching each other. This way, we can ensure our own safety.” Du Jue commanded coldly.
Zhen Ci Bei smiled and nodded. ”Not bad, Lord Du's suggestion is very good. This way, we can prevent heavy casualties! This time, for the sake of forming the most optimal cooperation, each group should be formed with people from the same faction. Otherwise, if there are anymore clown shows like the one Ma Jiang Ming and the Ruan brothers again, I'll tear all of you apart! Palace Lord Zi, what do you think?”
Zi Jing Hong nodded dully as he replied, ”Second Master's words are reasonable. In that case, we'll have to trouble Second Master to organize the people.” Zi Jing Hong naturally understood what Du Jue and Zhen Ci Bei were planning. These two old fellows were hoping to use his Illusory Blood Sea's experts as the first batch of cannon fodder!
Thus, Zi Jing Hong cleverly backed out of the planning group, and directly threw the problem back to Zhen Ci Bei. There was no way you could avoid placing a few of your guys into the groups if you're organizing, right? If as the main planner, you only placed other people's experts as the main force, how will you convince the crowd?
”Very well, this old man has lived for so many years, and has become slightly shameless by now. ”Zhen Ci Bei's eyes flashed as he laughed self deprecatingly. ”The Blood Ocean cultivators spend their life in the Blood Ocean mist. They should be more familiar with dark environments compared to the others; I recommend that the first group of three should be formed with the experts of the Blood Ocean? Brother Du, do you have a differing opinion?”
