Chapter 357: True encounter of misfortune turning into fortune
"Where do you think you're going?"
Cao Lin followed closely behind, shouting as he raised his long blade. A fierce slash of blade energy was already cutting towards Yu Zhang.
Yu Zhang, bleeding from all seven orifices, could not utter a single word as he watched the blade energy descend upon him.
But he still managed to cancel his skill in the nick of time.
The taunting skill's force was too strong, attracting all the damage to himself, ensuring certain death!
However, even after canceling the skill, it was too late.
He was facing the simultaneous attacks of four grandmasters. Niu Jiangsheng, naturally, would not risk his life for a detestable Heavenly Demon.
The moment the blade and sword energies fell, Niu Jiangsheng had already distanced himself from Yu Zhang, dodging alone.
With a scream, Yu Zhang was sliced into eight pieces by two blade lights and a sword energy, then smashed into a pulp by a following palm imprint, dead beyond dead.
Seeing Yu Zhang's demise, Liu Jun decisively prepared to shake off Ren Shaorong and escape alone. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't fight six grandmasters!Ren Shaorong hit the ground, her head bleeding from the fall. Ignoring her injuries, she shouted, "That's Leng Shi over there! I'm ranked 408, killing me won't give you any experience."
After saying this, she took a deep breath, "This world is so beautiful..."
Her voice abruptly stopped, her eyes bulging out.
Then.
With a crisp bang, her head exploded, and her belly burst open with a large hole.
The seven-orifice touch couldn't instantly kill a grandmaster, but killing an Alien Star warrior ranked over 400 was a piece of cake...
Ren Shaorong's skill perfectly countered Xiang Li and Ge Zong. Such a menace couldn't be left alive.
Moreover, she was still trying to frame him before dying. This person was definitely not from Qi Yuan Star and couldn't be recruited.
After Yu Zhang and Ren Shaorong's deaths.
The three grandmasters who suddenly appeared opposite stood in a row, warily eyeing Du Ge and his companions.
In the middle were Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun, both injured, surrounded by six grandmasters. They couldn't escape and could only wait and see.
...
"Imperial Teacher, they are not grandmasters from our country," the National Teacher glanced at the three opposite and lowered his voice.
"Thank you for your assistance. He Xu is deeply grateful. Since we have met by chance, why not come to my camp after we deal with these two below, and let me extend my hospitality?"
Du Ge didn't know who the people opposite were, but anyone appearing here was unlikely to be seeking refuge with him. After all, they didn't even bother to say the secret code "Celestial King covers the Earth Tiger."
Therefore.
The likelihood of them being enemies was higher. In the uncertainty of whether they had Alien Star warriors, injuring them was the best way to identify them.
Du Ge's actions were far more honest than his words. While speaking to confuse the opponent, his seven-orifice touch already entangled the swordsman in the middle.
Generally speaking.
When unsure who to attack, targeting the C position was never wrong.
The air cannon version of the seven-orifice touch was not as convenient and quick as the water version.
But it was more concealed. The swordsman, caught off guard, was already hit.
The swordsman's eardrums ruptured from the air cannon impact, blood seeping out. His lower body was suddenly attacked, and like Liu Jun, he instinctively clamped his legs, eyes wide open.
"Leng Shi." With a painful roar, the swordsman's figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, he appeared behind Du Ge, a sharp sword energy stabbing towards Du Ge's back.
Du Ge dodged, drawing his long sword and counter-stabbing the swordsman, but the stab hit nothing.
At this moment.
The other two finally reacted.
The blade wielder laughed wildly, "Buqi, this brat is indeed despicable. Today, we shall help you kill him and seize his attributes to help you ascend to the top."
Saying this.
He slashed down, aiming at Cao Lin.
Cao Lin stepped forward, engaging him in battle.
So it was the seventh-ranked rogue, Miao Buqi!
The blade wielder's words revealed the opponent's identity, and Du Ge finally knew who had come.
Well!
As soon as he fell, all sorts of characters came out of the woodwork.
Miao Buqi appearing here was most likely targeting him, the number one...
However, this guy indeed had the qualifications to be ranked seventh, possessing grandmaster-level cultivation. It was unclear whether he had possessed a grandmaster or cultivated to this level later.
Du Ge's mind raced.
In an instant, he understood why Miao Buqi and his companions were here. These three must have been tailing Niu Jiangsheng and the others, planning to pick up the spoils halfway.
Their exposure was entirely due to not considering Yu Zhang's skill, which indiscriminately attracted hatred, turning three helpers into enemies.
Truly, timing and fate!
Indeed.
A single move affects the whole situation.
Without this skill, the three of them would have been attracted by Yu Zhang, and then ambushed by the three grandmasters, he might have been done for.
However.
Miao Buqi's elusive skills were also troublesome. His air cannon couldn't lock onto him, only passively taking hits, which must be a skill.
Fortunately, his attributes were high enough. Although he couldn't hit Miao Buqi, he wouldn't be harmed either...
At this moment, Cao Lin and the blade wielder, the National Teacher and the fist-wielding grandmaster were also engaged in battle, fighting fiercely.
To be precise, Cao Lin and the blade wielder were evenly matched, while the National Teacher was being pressed by the fist-wielding grandmaster, looking quite embarrassed.
The National Teacher was right; his Way of Nature was not suitable for combat. A slight distraction, and he was knocked out of the Way of Nature state...
This couldn't go on.
Du Ge glanced at the two injured grandmasters in the valley, shouting, "Grandmaster Niu, Grandmaster Liu, those two Heavenly Demons are dead. You can't report back. Why not assist me, and let me protect you..."
Miao Buqi's voice almost overlapped with Du Ge's, "Niu Jiangsheng, Liu Jun, what are you waiting for? Offending Leng Shi, do you think he will spare you?"
Damn!
The two exchanged glances, cursing simultaneously. Miao Buqi slashed out a sword energy, while Du Ge simultaneously condensed several air cannons.
Du Ge dodged, and the sword energy missed.
Miao Buqi teleported, and the seven-orifice touch also missed.
"Leng Shi, this is not a water domain. Your martial cultivation is inferior to mine. Today, I will kill you."
Miao Buqi's voice sounded beside Du Ge, with a hint of tranquility and ease, as if he was not the one who had just been attacked by Du Ge.
"We'll see who kills whom!" Du Ge smiled, "Those two guys also wanted to kill me, but didn't you end up saving me? Who knows, someone might jump out to help me in a while! You know, my keyword is luck..."
In terms of trash talk, Du Ge never lost to anyone.
"Your luck ends with me," Miao Buqi chuckled, his figure disappearing again. When he reappeared, he was behind the National Teacher.
A sword energy stabbed towards the National Teacher's back.
The National Teacher, without Du Ge's attribute boost, only sensed the sword energy when it was upon him. He sidestepped, barely avoiding a fatal blow.
But his back was already slashed with a long wound, deep to the bone, bleeding profusely.
The fist-wielding grandmaster fighting the National Teacher didn't take the opportunity to finish him off.
Because Du Ge, sensing Miao Buqi's attack on the National Teacher, sent a seven-orifice touch air cannon into the fist-wielder's nine orifices.
The unexpected sensation made his eyes bulge, moaning out loud!
"Despicable!" Seeing his teammate's expression, Miao Buqi realized what had happened to the fist-wielder, feeling a burning sensation in his own nether region, cursing angrily.
"Same to you," Du Ge took the chance to send another seven-orifice touch towards the blade wielder fighting Cao Lin.
Ugh!
A light gasp.
The blade wielder's figure suddenly froze, giving Cao Lin an opportunity to slash his front, almost severing half his arm.
"Niu Jiangsheng, Liu Jun, what are you waiting for?" Miao Buqi slashed the National Teacher again, urging the still-watching Niu and Liu, "Being a martial grandmaster, roaming the world is so much better. Why bother with these petty court matters, wasting your efforts..."
"Help me or stay out of it, otherwise, there will be no place for you in this world," Du Ge knew he had offended Niu and Liu, making it unlikely they would help. He switched to intimidation, hoping to scare them.
One elusive Miao Buqi was already troublesome. If these two fast-moving guys joined in, he and Cao Lin would be fine, but the National Teacher might not survive.
"Trust him or trust me?" Miao Buqi said, "First kill the National Teacher, break Leng Shi's arm, and the five of us will fight the two of them. He won't survive. Killing Leng Shi, Lin Qing won't blame you..."
Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun exchanged glances, then simultaneously attacked the National Teacher. Miao Buqi was right; betting on Leng Shi's mercy was far riskier than taking fate into their own hands.
I'm doomed!
The National Teacher watched the two approaching, sighing inwardly. Imperial Teacher, didn't you say misfortune turns to fortune, and adversity to prosperity? I'm about to die, where's the fortune? Where's the prosperity?
Just as this thought crossed the National Teacher's mind, a sword light flashed from afar. A little girl, riding a sword, hovered above the battlefield. She looked down at the valley and suddenly said, "Celestial King covers the Earth Tiger."
Du Ge, troubled by how to deal with Miao Buqi, was invigorated by the familiar code, "Pagoda suppresses river demon."
"Uncle Du is the mightiest," the little girl's eyes lit up. With a wave of her hand, two swords shot towards Niu and Liu, "My swords are as fast as lightning, no one in the world can dodge them."
