Chapter 374 - - 371 Test_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

However.

Wei Jiuchu's skill was indeed formidable.

At that moment.

Wei Jiuchu performed an action like vaulting over a wall, and one after another, those soldiers trapped on the wall did the same, stepping onto the merlon.

Wu Meng also leapt up, his face showing an expression of horror.

Seeing that one more step from Wei Jiuchu would cause more people to leap down, Duge couldn't hold back any longer. With a thought, he caused a wall of water to rise from the moat, catching everyone just right.

Simultaneously.

Gao Ming and Cao Lin had already dashed into the air.

But before the two could take action, Wei Jiuchu turned his head to look at them.

Then, just as Cao Lin had raised his knife, he fell to the dust, mimicking Wei Jiuchu's action, and plunged straight towards the ground.

Gao Ming met the same fate.

The gaze, it was the gaze.

Those locked by his gaze would be controlled by him.

Moreover, it seemed that True Qi would be sealed. Duge immediately understood the principle behind Wei Jiuchu's skill.

"Wei Jiuchu, you can lock my True Qi, but can you lock my Supreme Swordsmanship?" After landing, Gao Ming was covered in dust, yet she didn't care and laughed wildly, "The ultimate realm of the sword, to sever the heavens, the earth, and the stars---the Mortal Realm's pinnacle sword---Sword Eighteen!"

Wei Jiuchu was stunned, as a vast Sword Qi suddenly emanated from Gao Ming's body, endless and forming a dense net of swords that enveloped everyone, including Wei Jiuchu.

The next second.

Where the Sword Qi touched, Wei Jiuchu and others vanished like shadows.

No blood, no bodies.

...

What's going on?

Duge's eyes suddenly widened.

Then.

All memories of what had just happened receded from his mind like the tide, and in an instant, he forgot everything.

"Master, what happened?" Luo Shuang blinked, looking at the soldiers with broken legs under the city wall, and at Gao Ming and Cao Lin standing on the open ground, her face full of confusion.

Gao Ming and Cao Lin were just as bewildered.

Gao Ming furrowed her brow: "Old Cao, how did we get out here?"

"Where's my knife?" Cao Lin looked at his empty hands, then at the soldiers with broken legs and arms on the wall, his brow tightly knitted, "Did the enemy come?"

...

What's going on?

Did Wei Jiuchu and the others come?

Duge’s brow furrowed deeply as he meticulously sifted through his memory, finding not a single useful piece of information. Yet everything before his eyes clearly told him that he had just experienced a battle.

Had his memory been erased?

But what about the enemy? How could they have left without a scratch?

…

In the distance.

Wei Jiuchu and the others were gasping for air, their complexion as pale as if they had been startled awake from a dream.

“Damn, this Yun Yao is just too terrifying. She was clearly trapped by Brother Wei, yet she could still unleash such powerful Sword Qi and instantly kill all of us—is this the capability of the fourth rank?” the frail-looking young man swallowed hard, “The descriptions of her swordsmanship in the ‘Linyang Daily Newspaper’ are actually true…”

“How are we supposed to fight? Just Yun Yao alone could wipe us out instantly, not to mention Leng Shi hasn’t even shown up yet!” exclaimed the youth with lightning speed.

“Xiang Li and Ge Zong were luring the enemy head-on, while Yun Yao was coordinating in the shadows. The opposition was obviously well-prepared; Leng Shi reacted too swiftly, sensing Zhao Ling and setting up an ambush. They predicted our actions!” the enchanting woman said.

“Luckily we have Huang Liang’s test, which allows us to run a rehearsal. If we had attacked directly, we’d definitely have been wiped out all at once,” said the middle-aged man who was toying with women.

“I told you guys, we can’t underestimate them,” Wei Jiuchu said. “Xiaofeng, have you located Leng Shi’s hiding spot?”

“There are heat signatures to the left three and to the right ten,” responded a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. “Left three shows two sources, and left fifteen also has two. Left three should be Leng Shi; the heat reaction is very strong.”

Whoosh!

Wei Jiuchu let out a long breath.

“Brother Wei, are we still going to fight? Yun Yao’s Sword Qi is too fast, and that’s only Sword Eighteen—we still have Sword Nineteen to Sword Twenty Three to contend with!” said the youth with lightning speed, still shaken.

“Why do you think Yun Yao didn’t use a more powerful Sword Twenty Three instead of Sword Eighteen?” asked Wei Jiuchu.

“Maybe she thought Sword Eighteen was enough to kill us,” the enchanting woman replied, her lips pursing as she recalled the scene where thousands of swords pierced through hearts.

“We are eight Alien Warriors. Shouldn’t we seek to be sure and use the most powerful moves?” Wei Jiuchu shook his head, “There must be something wrong with his abilities.”

“Is it possible that he only knows up to Sword Eighteen and everything after that in Sword Nineteen is fabricated?” suggested the young teenager, “After all, the descriptions beyond Sword Nineteen are quite exaggerated.”

“It’s very possible,” the enchanting woman agreed. “Sword Twenty Three, which destroys heaven and earth, stopping time, does sound a bit too much. It’s hard to even imagine it being real.”

“Even if there’s only Sword Eighteen, we can’t beat it! Brother Wei’s Dance of Order was even unable to trap her, so her Sword Eighteen must be a skill, not just a technique,” the youth with lightning speed lamented.

“Just don’t let her use it,” Wei Jiuchu said as he turned to the skeletal young man, “Jing Sheng, are you confident you can hypnotize Yun Yao in an instant?”

“If Sister Mei works with me, it should be no problem,” the gaunt young man pondered for a moment before nodding.

“Brother Wei, are we really going to fight?” asked the key test-taking boy. “We just got annihilated. Why not come back tomorrow, when I can use my test again and find a perfect solution to beat them?”

“Is there really a perfect solution? With our test, our movements have already been exposed. Leng Shi won’t give us a second chance,” Wei Jiuchu said, looking in the direction of East Ridge Pass. “Do you believe that if we retreat now, Leng Shi will follow us and attack our camp? If Ge Zong infiltrates our camp and I get controlled, who can stop Yun Yao’s Sword Eighteen?

“At this moment, Leng Shi and the others probably don’t understand what happened; everyone would come out from the shadows to investigate,

“If we strike them now while they are still clueless, we could corner them all at once. Fortune favors the bold. Defeating Leng Shi, Yun Yao, and the others to take their attributes, combined with our skills, we’d be nearly invincible in the Mortal Realm.”

“Brother Wei, I’ve already used my test. Can I sit this one out? I don’t have much combat power anyway…” the boy stammered, looking uncertainly at Wei Jiuchu.

Wei Jiuchu glanced at him and said, “You can. Xiaoliang, stay hidden in the shadows and observe the abilities of Leng Shi and everyone around him. If we win, that’s that.

“In the event we lose, escape and see if you can contact others on the planet to kill Leng Shi and Yun Yao and avenge us. If used wisely, test abilities can turn the tides at a crucial moment.”
