Chapter 359 - - 357 Truly Turn Misfortune into Fortune_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Cao Lin chased after him, bellowing loudly, his long knife raised, and a fierce blade qi was already slashing towards Yu Zhang.

Yu Zhang, bleeding from all seven orifices, couldn’t utter a word as he looked at the blade qi coming down on him.

But he still cancelled his skill in the first instance.

The skill’s taunting force was too strong, attracting all damage to himself, ensuring certain death!

Even after canceling the skill, it was too late.

He was faced with a simultaneous attack from four Grandmasters, and Niu Jiangsheng naturally wouldn’t risk his own life for a detestable Heavenly Demon.

As the blade qi and sword qi descended, he had already thrown Yu Zhang aside and dodged on his own.

With a scream, Yu Zhang was chopped into eight pieces by two beams of knife light and a streak of sword qi, and then smashed into a pulp by the following Palm Seal, dead beyond any doubt.

Seeing Yu Zhang dead, Liu Jun made a decisive decision to also throw Ren Shaorong off him and escape on his own; no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t fight against six Grandmasters!

Ren Shaorong landed, her head bleeding from the toss; not bothering to heal, she shrieked, “The opponent is Leng Shi; I’m ranked four hundred and eight, killing me won’t get you any experience.”

After saying that, she took a deep breath, “The world is so beautiful…”

Her voice stopped abruptly as her eyeballs suddenly bulged out.

Immediately after.

There was a crisp pop, and her head exploded, and her belly was also blown open with a large hole.

The Seven-Hole Touch, unable to instantly kill a Grandmaster, was all too easy for killing an alien warrior ranked in the four hundreds…

Ren Shaorong’s skills were a complete counter to Xiang Li and Ge Zong; such a menace naturally had to be eliminated.

Besides, she thought of framing him before her death; such a person was definitely not from Qiyuan Star, and couldn’t be recruited.

After Yu Zhang and Ren Shaorong died.

Suddenly, three Grandmasters emerged opposite them; standing side by side, they watched Duge and the other two with caution.

In the middle were Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun, both injured, surrounded by six Grandmasters in the center, with no chance to escape, they could only wait and see what would happen.

…

“Imperial master, they are not Grandmasters from our country,” the State Preceptor glanced at the three opposite them and said in a lowered voice.

“Thank you all for the assistance, He is deeply grateful. It’s better to meet by chance than by appointment. Later, after we deal with the two below, how about joining me at my camp for a visit so that I can offer some hospitality as the host?”

Duge didn’t know who the people opposite him were, but anyone showing up here surely wasn’t coming to join him. After all, they weren’t even willing to give the response of “The King Covers the Tiger.”

Therefore.

The likelihood that those on the opposite side were enemies was greater, and in the absence of certainty whether there were Alien Warriors among them, getting them injured was the best way to identify them.

Duge’s actions were far more honest than his words; as he spoke to confuse the opponents, his Seven-Hole Touch had already wrapped around the swordsman in the middle.

Generally speaking.

When you don’t know who to attack, hitting the center position is never wrong.

The Air Cannon version of the Seven-Hole Touch wasn’t as convenient as the water version.

But it had the advantage of stealth, and the swordsman, caught off guard, was already affected.

The swordsman’s eardrums burst from the impact of the Air Cannon, blood seeping out as he suddenly suffered an attack below. Like Liu Jun’s reaction before, he instinctively clenched his legs and his eyes widened.

“Leng Shi.” With a painful roar, the swordsman’s figure vanished, then reappeared behind Duge the next second, with the fierce Sword Qi stabbing straight at Duge’s back.

Duge dodged, his Longsword exiting its sheath, counter-stabbing the swordsman only to strike empty air.

At the same time.

The other two finally reacted.

The swordsman laughed wildly, “Buqi, this scoundrel is indeed despicable. Today we shall help you kill this fellow, take his attributes, and help you rise to the top spot.”

With that.

He slashed down with his knife, heading straight for Cao Lin.

Cao Lin stepped forward, engaging him in combat.

It turned out to be Ranger Miao Buqi, ranked seventh!

The swordsman’s words revealed the identity of the other party, and Duge finally knew who had come.

Well then!

As he fell on hard times, it seemed all kinds of demons and goblins were coming out of the woodwork.

Miao Buqi showing up here was almost certainly aimed at him as the number one…

But indeed, he did have the right to be ranked seventh, possessing the Cultivation Level of a Grandmaster, whether by the good fortune of seizing a Grandmaster’s body or by later cultivation.

Duge’s mind raced.

In an instant, he figured out why Miao Buqi and his two companions had appeared here; these three guys must have been tailing Niu Jiangsheng and the others, planning to reap the benefits midway.

The reason they exposed themselves was simply because they hadn’t considered that Yu Zhang’s skill indiscriminately attracted hostility. They were well-hidden, yet as they passed by, the three allies were forcibly turned into enemies.

Indeed, it was a matter of timing and fate!

Sure enough.

Moving one hair and affecting the whole body was truly a divine skill.

Without this skill, his own group of three would have been attracted by Yu Zhang and then possibly blindsided by the three Grandmasters. He estimated that would have been the end of him.

However.

Miao Buqi’s ability to appear and disappear like a ghost was also quite tricky; his Air Cannon couldn’t lock onto him at all, and he could only passively get hit. It was likely due to a skill, no doubt.

Luckily, his attributes were high enough that, although he couldn’t hit Miao Buqi, he also wasn’t injured by him…

At this moment, Cao Lin and the swordsman, the State Preceptor and the punching Grandmaster, were also engaged in battle, with the four of them locked in a fierce fight.

To be precise, it was Cao Lin and the swordsman who were evenly matched, while the State Preceptor was getting pressed by the punching Grandmaster, looking quite embarrassed.

The State Preceptor was right; his Way of Nature was not suited for combat. A slight distraction and he could be knocked out of his natural state…

They couldn’t go on like this.

Duge stole a glance at the two wounded Grandmasters in the valley and called out loudly, “Grandmaster Niu, Grandmaster Liu, those two Heavenly Demons are dead. You won’t be able to explain yourselves when you get back. Why not lend me a hand, and I’ll protect you…”

Miao Buqi’s voice rose almost simultaneously with Duge’s, “Niu Jiangsheng, Liu Jun, what are you waiting for? Offending Leng Shi yet still hoping he’d spare you?”

Damn it!

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously cursed, with Miao Buqi slashing a Sword Qi and Duge at the same time condensing several Air Cannons.

Duge dodged, and the Sword Qi missed its mark.

Miao Buqi teleported, and the Seven-Hole Touch also landed on empty space.

“Leng Shi, we are not in the water here, and your martial arts cultivation level is not as good as mine. Today, I shall surely kill you.”

Miao Buqi’s voice sounded beside Duge, with a hint of calmness and ease, as if he was not the one who just had his rear charged by Duge.

“Who kills who is not yet certain!” Duge chuckled, “Those two guys just now also wanted to kill me, but weren’t they saved by you? Who knows who might jump out to help me in a moment? You should know, my keyword is ’lucky’…”

In the realm of trash talk, Duge never lost to anyone.

“Then your luck has run out with me,” Miao Buqi laughed lightly. His figure vanished again, and when he reappeared, he was behind the State Preceptor.

A Sword Qi struck towards the State Preceptor’s back.

The State Preceptor, without Duge’s attribute enhancement, only sensed the Sword Qi as it hit his body. He sidestepped and jumped forward, narrowly avoiding a fatal wound.

But his back was still slashed with a long cut, deep to the bone, and blood gushed forth.

The boxer fighting the State Preceptor did not take the chance to strike.

Because when Duge sensed Miao Buqi going to kill the State Preceptor, he sent off a Seven-Hole Touch, and his Air Cannon went straight into the boxer’s nine orifices.

The unguarded exhilaration made his eyes bulge and elicited a groan!

“Despicable!” Seeing his teammate’s expression, Miao Buqi realized what had happened to the boxer, and empathetically feeling the burning pain in his own meridians, he couldn’t help but curse.

“The feeling’s mutual.” Duge took the opportunity to launch another Seven-Hole Touch at the swordsman fighting Cao Lin.

Er!

A soft exclamation.

The swordsman’s figure suddenly stiffened, and Cao Lin took the opportunity to slash at his front, almost severing half of his shoulder.

“Niu Jiangsheng, Liu Jun, what are you waiting for?” Miao Buqi swung another sword at the State Preceptor, urging the still-watching Niu and Liu, “To be a martial arts Grandmaster and roam the rivers and lakes freely is so much better. Why bother with these mundane matters of the court, toiling and worrying…”

“Either help me or don’t move, or else, under the heavens, you will have nowhere to stand.” Duge knew he had offended Niu and Liu, and the chances of them helping him were slim, so he switched to intimidation, hoping to scare them.

A Miao Buqi that could appear and disappear at will was tricky enough, and if these two swift fellows got involved, he and Cao Lin might be fine, but the State Preceptor might well be done for.

“Trust him or trust me?” Miao Buqi said, “First eliminate the State Preceptor, break off Leng Shi’s arm, and the five of us together will take on the two of them. He’d be a goner. Kill Leng Shi, and Lin Qing over there won’t blame you…”

Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun exchanged a glance, then darted over together, attacking the State Preceptor. Miao Buqi was right; rather than betting on Leng Shi’s kindness, it was far better to kill him and take control of their destiny.

This is the end of my life!

The State Preceptor watched the two approaching and sighed helplessly in his heart, Imperial master, oh Imperial master, didn’t you say disasters turn into blessings, and misfortunes into fortunes? I’m about to die; where are the blessings? The fortunes?

As this thought flashed through the State Preceptor’s mind, a sword light arrived in a flash from afar, and a little girl riding a sword hovered above them. Looking down at the battlefield in the valley, she suddenly said, “The King Covers the Tiger.”

Duge was worrying about how to deal with Miao Buqi, but when he heard this familiar code, his spirit was lifted, “The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon.”

“Mr. Du is the mightiest.” The little girl’s eyes brightened, she waved her hand, and two swords behind her pierced towards Niu and Liu, “My sword is as fast as lightning, and no one under the heavens can dodge it.”
