Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 92: A set within a set
"Thirty-two..." Lu Qingshan ignored Yin Du and looked around to count the specific number of people.
It is indeed a big deal.
With Lu Qingshan's current combat power, he is almost certain to win if he faces an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator alone, and the same goes for two.
But once the number of people exceeds three, the situation will become difficult, but it is still no problem to escape.
Thirty-two Void-Refining Monks?
No Nascent Soul cultivator could escape safely in the face of such a situation, let alone the number one on the Yellow List, even the strongest in the fourth realm would have no chance.
In the world of cultivation, human wave tactics are useless when there is a huge difference in strength, just like even if there are a thousand ants, they can never kill one person.
However, if the difference in strength is not that great, the human wave tactic can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
The lion, the "king of Africa", will definitely win every battle against the hyena in a one-on-one fight. However, if the hyenas choose to rush in together, once the total number exceeds six, they will have a chance to kill a lion.
Not to mention, there are still thirty-two "hyenas" now.
However, faced with this situation, Lu Qingshan remained expressionless and even nodded with satisfaction.
He grinned at Yindu, revealing his snow-white teeth.
He was dressed as a middle-aged monk and when he smiled, he even looked kind and gentle, but this smile made Yin feel a chill running down his spine.
A bad premonition came to my mind because Lu Qingshan was too calm.
Facts have proved that when it comes to premonitions, unless you are lucky, they generally follow the principle of "good ones don't work, bad ones do."
Above the sky, at this moment, dozens of light spots suddenly appeared and rushed over.
Those irrelevant cultivators in the town had not even recovered from the sudden attack of more than thirty Void Refinement cultivators, but Yindu had already sensed the huge danger.
Those were sword beams, countless sword beams, like tiny flying swords, forming a rushing steel torrent, and the pouring down rain of swords accurately covered the thirty-two monks from the underworld.
The monks from the underworld were caught off guard and tried to organize an effective defense in a hurry, but the tiny sword light contained an irresistible force that ruthlessly shattered their defenses.
Ding ding ding!
After breaking their defenses, the sword light penetrated through their limbs, knocked their bodies over, and then condensed and did not dissipate, nailing everyone firmly to the ground like a nail.
The aggressive monks from the underworld seemed so weak in front of these sword beams. They were not on the same level at all.
They thought they had more numbers and more power, but they were shattered by the slightest touch of the sword beams in the sky.
The battle, before it even began, is already over.
Yindu, the leading monk who was encircling Lu Qingshan, had his body nailed firmly to the ground, with blood gushing out.
The sword light that passed through his body completely blocked the flow of his spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to die, and he was even unable to speak.
He could only stare at Lu Qingshan with his eyes wide open, his eyes full of anger, unwillingness and confusion.
"Willing to take the bait ?" Lu Qingshan took two steps forward and walked to Yindu's side. At the same time, he removed the disguise of the Nocturnal Ancient Jade and restored his original appearance.
The handsome young man seriously corrected the monk from the underworld, "No, this is called... Piranha."
A beam of light appeared and finally landed beside Lu Qingshan.
He was an old man with white hair and beard, but the fierceness in his body was enough to make everyone feel afraid.
"Thank you for your help, uncle." Lu Qingshan said politely.
"It's just as you expected. Someone has set a trap to kill you," Xi Xiang, who had just appeared, said thoughtfully, "This is incredible."
Yindu, who was nailed to the ground, suddenly dilated his pupils after hearing the conversation between the two and stared at Lu Qingshan.
It wasn't that the news was exposed, nor was it a coincidence, but... Lu Qingshan guessed his plan?
But why? How did he guess that? Where did the flaw come from?
"Do you want to know how I guessed that this Golden Well and Jade Railing was a killing trap set against me?" Lu Qingshan understood the meaning in Yin Du's eyes.
Yin Du's eyes flashed, waiting for Lu Qingshan to reveal the answer.
He wanted to die with a clear conscience.
"It's a pity..." After a pause, Lu Qingshan shook his head regretfully, "I'm not going to tell you."
Yin Du let out an impotent roar.
…
The underworld thought it had arranged a perfect killing plan, but in fact, in Lu Qingshan's eyes, it was full of loopholes.
He wanted to enhance the true meaning of cause and effect. The Golden Well and Jade Railing, which was rarely seen at ordinary times, just happened to appear at this critical juncture, and it just happened to give birth to the mystery of cause and effect.
Is he the son of destiny or the protagonist of a historical novel? How come someone gave him a pillow just because he was sleepy? Is there such a cheap thing in the world?
It’s the same old saying, one coincidence may be a coincidence, but if it happens more than twice, it is most likely a carefully arranged "coincidence" and someone deliberately set it up.
As for who is targeting him?
Lu Qingshan just learned an important piece of news in the wilderness.
He ranks first in the kill list of the underworld.
For a cultivator of this sequence, the underworld must have various plans against him in secret, so he has always been on guard.
When you are prepared, it is often easier to find flaws in something.
After connecting this information again, Lu Qingshan roughly figured out the plan behind this matter.
As for the so-called incident that someone really obtained the ginseng beard from Jinjing Yulan and sold it for a high price, that is even more ridiculous.
Isn’t this just the simple trick used by those unscrupulous merchants in previous lives?
Lu Qingshan was no longer surprised by this trick. It might be possible to fool those who were dreaming of getting rich quickly, but it was impossible to fool him.
Knowing that he was in the first sequence, Lu Qingshan had no doubt about the murderous intent of the underworld towards him, so he did not dare to be arrogant or take chances, but reported the matter directly to Xi Xiang.
The heat of the dojo competition has not yet subsided, and Xi Xiang is now at his best when he has an impression of this talented disciple of our sect and he treasures him very much.
So when he heard that the underworld was very likely to trap Lu Qingshan, Xi Xiang could not hold back, and with his sword still in place, he personally went out to trap Lu Qingshan.
What if all these speculations turn out to be wrong?
He definitely couldn't let Xi Xiang, a seventh-level swordsman, go for nothing, so Lu Qingshan made up his mind that if the matter of Jinjing Yulan wasn't a murder plot, he would ask his uncle to help him search Changbai Mountain...
Let the seventh-level cultivators personally go out to search for the Golden Well and Jade Railing hidden in Changbai Mountain. Isn't this a sure thing?
…
The battle was over. Xi Xiang's mind moved, and the sword beams on the thirty-two underworld monks in the Void Refinement Realm shook, lifting their bodies and stringing them together.
"Go back to the sect." Xi Xiang said coldly.
The cultivators from the underworld usually hide in the dark. This time we have finally caught so many of them. It will definitely not be so easy to kill them all. Instead, we will bring them back to the sect for a thorough interrogation.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Xi Xiang would take action personally.
The cultivators in the sixth realm can indeed kill all these cultivators in the underworld, but it is impossible to capture them alive.
After all, compared to the torture and interrogation they would face after being captured alive, the monks in the underworld would rather choose to commit suicide.
Lu Qingshan nodded, followed Xi Xiang and flew up on his sword, and soon disappeared into the town.
…
All these changes happened so quickly that most of the other monks in the town did not understand the specific situation and were all confused.
Only Jack Ma, who was at the center of the battle, watched everything.
Only when he saw Lu Qingshan and Xi Xiang leave did he come back to his senses.
Shopkeeper Ma, who heard everyone's conversation clearly, naturally understood the whole situation.
Too exciting!
Dozens of Void-Refining cultivators were dispatched to kill Lu Qingshan, who was ranked first on the Yellow List. But they were instantly killed by Lu Qingshan’s sect elders!
This is the Sword Sect!
He felt both happy and envious as he watched.
Who wouldn't envy the protection of such a powerful sect?
It’s a pity that his sect is not like this.
Jack Ma unconsciously felt a little lonely and lamented that the world was not worth living.
Wait, where did my sect come from?
Oh, I am a casual cultivator...
That's okay.
Jack Ma suddenly realized his situation and felt relieved.
